The alpha's mate

Chapter one

"Bye mommy," said ten year old Ashley.
"Bye baby," Ashley's mom kissed the top of Ashley's head.
Ashley's parents left and then she fell asleep.
When Ashley woke up the next morning her parents were nowhere to be found.
They said they'd be back around ten o'clock why aren't back yet?Ashley thought to herself.
*six years later*
I found out that my parents didn't just leave me they were murdered by some type of animal. my new guardian was my uncle Nate.
He treated me like I was his daughter and I like he was my father.
I swung a punch and hit the opponent in the jaw. His eyes darted left and I dodged the punch. I watch the opponents eyes as I fight them. if you watch your opponents eyes you can see what move they are going to make before they make it. I knee'd up and hit them in the stomach. the opponent was sweaty and perspiration dripped from my forehead as the opponent fell to the floor. I walked off the big blue mat and grabbed both towels and threw one to my uncle. we trained everyday for two hours.
"Your getting better at the eye thing," he told me getting up and grabbing his water bottle.
"Thanks," I told him wiping my forehead.
"Well you don't want to be late for your first day of school tomorrow," He said taking off his protective gear.
"Nate it's the middle of the semester. it's not technically the first day,"
He shrugged and we walked upstairs to the main floor.
"Finish unpacking while I cook dinner,"Nate said in a firm tone.
I went to the second floor and went to the king sized bed in the corner of the room. I had one more box left to go but this box is the worst one yet. all my pictures, scrapbooks, and memories with my parents are held in this piece of folded up cardboard.
Maybe I could just put it at the top of my closet. I thought as I stuffed it on the top shelf.
Yes... It fits!
"Ashley! Dinners ready!" Nate shouted from the kitchen.
I walked down the stairs and headed for the dinning room table.
"We are having spaghetti," Nate said as he set my bowl down in front of me.
"Thanks," I told him.
I finished eating and rinsed my bowl out in the sink. I went to my bedroom and headed for my bathroom. it was empty because I haven't went and got decorations yet. all that was in there was soap, a white shower curtain, and a normal cup to hold my toothbrush and toothpaste. I turned on the water and stripped my workout clothes then hopped in the shower feeling the warmth engulf me. I turned the water off and put on a tank top and shorts. I climbed under the covers and went to bed.
-----------------------------------------
The next morning I woke up to my alarm and got out of bed. I took a shower and combed my hair after drying it.i put on a purple long sleeved shirt and some denim skinny jeans. I grabbed my back pack and went downstairs. I hung my bag on the chair and made myself some cereal. Nate gave me some coffee and I sat down on the counter.
"Are you exited?" Nate asked a few minutes later, taking a sip of his coffee, not looking up from the news paper.
"I guess," I told him putting my bowl in the sink and drinking the rest of my coffee.
"See ya," I feathered a kiss on his cheek on my way out, not wanting to talk about my new school.
"Have a good day," he called to me as I walked out the door.
When I arrived at school I went to the office.
"Um, hello?" I asked a plump secretary typing into a computer.
"Hi, can I help you," she asked giving me a big friendly smile.
"My name is Ashley Martins and today is my first day," I told her.
"Ah yes," she bent down and opened a drawer. "here is your schedule and here is a pass incase you get lost and don't make it to class on time," she handed me two pieces of paper and I left in search of my locker. the hallways were super crowded. I couldn't find my locker anywhere and I started to look at the map I grabbed from a holder on the wall when I bumped into someone. A strong sent erupted from him. it smelled like fresh rain.
He bent down to help me pick up my papers and my binder.
"My name is Blake," he said and smiled at me. he was built okay and his eyes were the brightest green eyes I'd ever seen. he struck me as player.
"My name is Ashley but you could call me Ash," I told him. he also struck me as super annoying.
"Do you need help finding anything?" He asked looking at my schedule.
"Um, no, not really," I told him going into independent mode.
he crossed his arms over his chest and gave me a stupid look.
"Where's your locker then?" He said in a sarcastic way.
"I don't know but I will find it. on my own,"i told him walking off. he turned and went down the hallway.
I finally found my locker ten minutes into first hour. I put the stuff I didn't need inside and slammed it shut. I found my first hour and walked to the teacher. I showed him my pass and he nodded.
"Everyone can I have your attention please?" Mr. Mark said loudly to the class. "this is Ashley Martins. If there is any way I can be a help to you let me know," he showed me my seat on the left side of the room. there was some powerful source in this room. I looked of it and I saw a guy with the same eyes as Blake, dark hair that was cut neatly, and attractive eyeing me from his seat in the middle of the room with girls surrounding him from every angle. he was the powerful source. I pretended not to notice as a sat down next to Blake and a pretty girl sitting in front of an empty seat. omigod! That's Danielle! She was my best friend at my old school until I told her I was moving. she said she'd come too but I didn't think she'd actually do it.
"Did you find your locker ok?" Blake asked smugly with a little grin.

"I found it fine thank you," I glared at him.
"Hi Ash, what's with that confused look? I told you I was coming," she joked looking at me.
"I dint think you would actually do it," I told her. I looked at Blake to see he wasn't even looking at us anymore.
He was now looking behind me and I noticed he was having a conversation with somebody in the middle of the room.
"Who are you talking to?" I asked him.
"Oh just Cade. He was asking who you were and how I knew you," he explained.
"Who's Cade?" I asked having a pretty good idea.
He leaned slightly to the side and pointed. I followed his finger and saw who Cade was. it was the guys sitting in the middle that stared the whole way to my seat till now.
i looked back at Blake to stop the lingering stares I still felt on my back.
Then a new smell hit me. Pine wood and forest.
The bell rang and I lifted from my seat.
I walked out with Blake and Danielle but Blake got yanked back by Cade. later Blake returned while Danielle and I were at my locker.
"Oh so you did find it," he joked.
"Zip it Blondy," I joked back.
"Um... Cade wants to talk to you," he said rubbing his neck and losing the playful scene.
"Why?" I asked.
"No reason. he just wants to greet you, and he wants to know what pack your from," his last words shocked me and I had no idea what he was talking about. he pushed me in the direction of Cade.
When I reached him the smell of Pine and forests hit me the strongest it ever had. I had to know what cologne these kids were using half the school was wearing one like Cade's and the other half was wearing one like Blake's. He was leaning against the lockers with his arms crossed over his chest.
"You wanted to talk to me," I said putting a hand on my hip where my birthmark was.
My birthmark was shaped like two teardrops one was bigger than the other slightly.
"Yup,"he said back.
"So talk," I went into independent mode again.
"All I want to know is what pack are you from?" He asked the same question Blake had stated to me earlier.
"I don't know what you are talking about," I said to him.
"Oh don't play stupid with me. you know exactly what I'm talking about," he shot at me.
"Oh please tell me exactly what I'm supposed to know," I shot back crossing my arms over my chest.
I saw his hands clench into fists then he pushed me against a locker.
"Dude stop she doesn't know ok?" Blake said to Cade.
Cade walked away to release his anger somewhere and I was left with Blake.
"You ok?" He asked.
"Yeah. what's wrong with him?" I asked.
"Nothing he is just stubborn," he explained.
I felt some weird attraction to Cade that I have never felt with any other guy. and trust me there was a lot of guys in my past and the thought of him have any other girlfriends made my anger grow but I couldn't show any emotions of liking him at all. It was only deep down I felt something for him but every other part of my body hated his guts.
"Hey," Danielle walked up behind me nudging my shoulder with hers.
"Me, Jake, May, Jace, Eve and Marie, are going to a party tomorrow night. wanna come?" She asked.
"Um, sure," I tell her somewhat confused at who those people are.
"Cool, oh and you can meet them during lunch," she says as we walk to our second hour-art.
My next three classes went by fairly quickly and the bell rang for lunch.
We got up and Danielle and I walked to the cafeteria.
As I walked in I saw that there was three groups in the whole room. one had Cade, one had Blake, and the other had all the people Danielle was talking about earlier and Blake also just came over when he saw I was headed for the table.
"Hey Elle," Says a good looking guy with chocolate colored eyes and dirty blond hair that swept right over his eyes. "who's the newbie?" He joke motioning towards me.
"Guys this is Ashley," she stated and sat down.
I felt piercing eyes on my back but I chose not to turn around.
Blake got up again and walked to put his arm around me.
"The whole school deserves to know," he said in a over dramatic way then stepping onto the table clapping his hands to get everyone's attention. all eyes were on our table. Even Cade.

Cade's POV
I saw Blake get onto the table and clap his hands with everyone looking in his direction.
"i just wanted everyone to know," he started loudly then motioning for the girl I have wanted since I saw her-Ash-to get up there with him. she started to protest but then a few people from her table shoved her up there with Blake laughing hysterically. he put his arm around her and I heard myself growl. she wasn't just another girl. I had real feelings for her that I have never had for any other girl.
She was so beautiful that I wanted to rip Blake's throat out for touching her. But I knew that was dangerous because she obviously had no idea what she or anyone else in the school is.
"This is my girl Ash," he hugged her closer and she put her arm around his back to steady herself and I stood up at his words then took a deep breath and sat back down slowly. "so nobody mess with her or I will personally hunt them down and kill them myself," he said in a joking/ serious tone.
"Yup and this is my guy Blake," I heard her say which made me growl slightly though I knew they were only playing. Then Blake hopped off the table and helped Ashley off the top even though she didn't look happy.
'they must be dating' my wolf growled in my head.
'Oh so you figure that out on your own' I mocked him.'and what's so special about her, she's just some girl'
He fell silent like there's something that he knew that I didn't.
