Once I got into my car I looked back at the tattoo parlor. Derek hadn’t moved an inch since I left him standing next to the counter. I didn’t know what came over me; maybe I was still on the adrenaline rush from getting a tattoo. I turned the key to start my Honda Civic that my dad bought me today. I always wanted this car, and when I woke up this morning to a car honking I didn’t expect it to be my new car.

My dad raised me alone when my mother died when I was 16. It was hard at first raising a 16 year old. Dad would always be working late and leaving me alone most of the time. I gotten used to it after a while, he would try to make it up to me by buying me gifts here and there, and I told him he didn’t need to do it, but he would never listen.

The car was over the top. He knew I was trying to save up for it ever since my last car broke, but still. I start driving around town. Everyone knew me in town because of what happened to my mother. Mostly they would ask me how I was or if I needed something. I pull into my favorite restaurant and walked out. I put on my jacket and winced from how sore my shoulder was. I turned around to look at it in the reflection of my car window and it was beautiful. I was mesmerized by the artwork.  I quickly put my jacket on and walked into Outback.

I looked around the restaurant to see if my dad was here. He sent me a text to meet him here at 9:00 and it was only 9:05 so I scanned the room, and I found him sitting at the bar. I started to walk towards him and sat at the chair next to him. He turned around and smiled at me. I looked at his face and took in his salt and peppery hair. I knew he was getting old, but I didn’t care I still loved him.

“Hey, sweetie happy birthday.” I gave him a side hug.

“Aww thanks dad, by the way thanks for the birthday gift. You really shouldn’t have bought it for me it’s too much.”

“If it’s too much why are you driving it?” He laughed and I knew I was busted. He reached to pat my shoulder and I pulled away before he had a chance to touch me. He gave me a worried look

“What’s wrong?” he asked

“ummm…nothing It just hurts a little nothing major.” I had to lie I didn’t know how he would react to me getting a tattoo. And he’s never in the house so I thought he would never see it.  

“Do you want me to look at it?” the one thing I can always count on my dad is that he will always keeps me healthy. My dad is a doctor and it has paid off. He is one of the best surgeons in the state. I remember how I would call him when I wasn’t feeling well and he would make me come in to his practice and I was treated like royalty. Well I still am treated that way, but you get the picture.

“No I’m fine dad I promise.” I gave him my puppy dog look that always would calm him down or let me get away with everything. Then before I saw what he was doing he squeezed my shoulder and I yelped in pain.

“Dad??? WTF that really hurt.” Then he grabbed my jacket and pulled it off.

“What is that?” He asked

“It’s a tattoo dad”

“Yes I can see that but why is it on you?” I looked around to see if we were making a scene, but from the looks of it no one was noticing what was going on.

“I wanted to do something different and I decided to get a tattoo for my birthday dad. It’s not a big deal.” The look on his face wasn’t something I normally see. It was a mix of disappointment or anger.

“Dad please can we talk about this later. I don’t want to cause a scene and it’s my birthday please?” He shook his head and we walked over to our table. We ordered our food and ate in silence. There really wasn’t a lot to say or talk about. I got a tattoo and it was on me. The thing I don’t understand is why he’s making a big deal out of it. I’m not a kid anymore. I’m an adult so what’s the big deal. I started to open my mouth to say something but his cell phone went off

“Yeah?......I see…..No I can be there as soon as possible….Yes sir….I understand” He hung up and took a deep breath of air before he said something.

“That was the office Michelle I need to go back in. Apparently there is an emergency and I’m needed. I’m sorry about cutting dinner short. Give them my credit card and I’ll call you tonight.” He started to get up and walk away before he came back and kissed my forehead and handed me a small box. “Happy birthday sweetie…Just don’t get any more tattoos”

I smiled at him and when he was out of sight I opened the box and was breathless. It was a diamond chain bracelet. I asked for the check and a doggy bag and quickly went to my car. I started my car again and quickly pulled out of the parking lot of the restaurant. I kept looking at the bracelet that I didn’t notice the truck that was coming straight at me. All I heard was metal crashing then darkness took over.

Dereks POV

Something was wrong. I don’t know what caused my birthmark to start burning up, but that could only mean one thing Michelle was in trouble. My inner wolf was whining in pain. I tried to calm it down but it was no good. It tried to get out a couple of times. I couldn’t handle it so I finally let it out.  Haji my inner wolf ran toward the city. The entire werewolf pack knows that the city is off limits. Yet something was pulling me towards a road. Haji howled out at the night sky in pain.

 At first all I saw was smoke and a car on its side. Then a truck on the other side of the road. I smelled something familiar though. I tried to remember what that smell was. It smelled so good yet I couldn’t place it.  I walked towards the car that was on its side and that’s when I saw her hair I could tell it Michelle by her hair. Her jet black hair was covering her face. From what I could see she had cut on her forehead I licked her cheek to see if she was going to respond, but I got nothing. I then decided to pull her out. I heard her scream out of pain and mumble something but I was more worried in saving her.

 Once I got her out of the death trap of a car I placed her on my back and ran into the woods.

“Carol I need the pack doctor to meet me at my house” I sent her a message through our pack link

“Whats wrong Alpha?” came her reply. I could always count on Carol having my back, that’s why most people are surprised to find out that she is actually my Beta. In most pack the Betas are male but Carol has had my back since we were little and no one has come near to her.

“Its Michelle, shes hurt really bad, and needs a doctor”

“Wait that girl that came into the shop today?... take her to the hospital then ” Carol has met Michelle since she came into the tattoo shop but she doesn’t know that shes my mate.

“Carol don’t be smart with me right now. Shes…Shes  my mate and I don’t know whats wrong” a tear slid down my face and I quickly shook it off and kept going.

I reached my house within minutes and changed into my human form. I took Michelle to my room and laid her down on my bed, and that’s when I actually saw what was wrong with her there was a cut that ran deep into her stomach and she was bleeding out. “Damn” right then I heard the front door slam and people voices filling the hallways. “Derek where are you?” I heard the Doc James yell

“Up here, hurry she looks bad”  he came into my room and stopped short. “You didn’t tell me she was human.”

“Does it make a difference?”
