Elana's prov.

      Once we're in the car I start blaring the radio.

"Notorious, so notorious

They call me notorious for livin' it up and not givin' a fuck

Like a loin in the land of sheep

Feel my teeth sink in deep

They say I'm a rebel soul

Bad to the bone, always ready to go

Everybody wants to wear the crown

I keep lining 'em up I keep knocking 'em down"     

I kept the song playing for three more hours before we got to a Hotel Inn. Alex was already asleep when we got there. I got out of the car and left it running for him. As I started walking over to the door of the large and immaculate building, I let my wolf come to the surface a little so my eyes shift from my usual deep green to their intensely vivid blue color. 

"Something feels weird," I say quietly to myself.  "It doesn't feel bad... mm, what smells so good?"  I can't stop myself from looking around for that amazing smell.

Next thing I know I find a tall, muscular, pale man looking at me with his teeth showing and his eyes must be his wolf's eyes because they are a devious rich red. His chocolate-colored hair is swept back revealing an undercut. This man is an Alpha and by the looks of it, he always gets what he wants. My wolf is now screaming in my head, "MATE!!" There was no way that this absolutely stunning and cocky man was my mate, right?

My blue eyes are burning as I continue to approach the counter. I am standing right beside him and his eyes never leave me as he looks me up and down. My body starts to tremble in his presents and my face turns a bright red from trying not to shift. I breathe deeply and ask the lady on the other side of the counter for a room with two beds in it. Then I hear, "Actually ma'am, let me pay for this beautiful girls' room."  His slightly gruff and deep voice shakes me to the center of my core. 

"No, please let me pay for my own room. I have my little brother in the car and he just needs to sleep." I snap at the lady and she jumps slightly at my tone. I can tell she's a werewolf too so, to convince her, even more, to do what I say, I show her my sharp and lethal fangs. I watch as she trembles in her shoes. The man beside me starts clapping slowly as if he's trying to piss me off. He then flashes his deadly fangs at the lady as well.

"You've got some balls to continue to tell her what to do when it's not even your dissension, asshole!" I yell. "Who the fuck do you think you are?" I ask abruptly with a loud snarl at the end.

"Well, you have one hell of a mouth on you, sweetheart. Who do you think you are to talk to me in such a way?" The man says with a cocky smile across his lips.

At this point, the lady behind the counter was ducking underneath it and I could hear her hushed whimpers. His comment and the look on his chiseled out face pissed me off so, I did the best thing I could think of. I shifted swiftly before him. He walked over to me and started to pet my silky, thick sliver coat. I started growling at him; he removed his hand and said,

 "Fine baby girl, if you want to play like this that's fine with me."

 Then he shifted as well. His wolf had a thick gray coat, he was larger than my brothers' wolf but luckily I wasn't a small wolf. I peel my lips off my teeth to show them and get ready to pounce on him but my wolf is holding me back and is saying,

"No, not our mate. He can't mark us yet, we don't know him."

 I let my lips cover my teeth and I stand down. I can't believe I fell for that. He was going to mark me as soon as we collided, how could I be so stupid. He takes notice of my actions and he stands down and lowers his head to show that he's not a threat to me or my wolf. His wolf starts walking over to us and he nudges my muzzle. I shift back to my human form and grabs my clothes to put them back on my body. Once I'm done, I look over to my 'mate' to see that his head is still bowed down and I walk over to him and pet his velvety soft fur that runs down his back. He looks up at me then I ask calmly,

 " Can you shift back to your human form so we can talk?"

He does so almost instantly and says,

"I don't want to fight you, I don't want you to be afraid of me, and I don't want to presser you in any way. I am sorry."

His cocky smile has vanished completely and is replaced by a look of sorrow.

"Don't worry about it, you did none of those things. I just have a short temper. Now please put your clothes back on then we'll get a room with three beds and we can talk."

"What about your brother?" He asks curiously.

"He's been asleep for about two hours now so we can just take him up to the room and let him sleep, but be aware, he just shifted tonight for his first time so he has an even shorter fuse than what I do. But I don't think we'll have any problems with that tonight." I reply smugly. "What's your name?" I ask but almost regret it.

"My name is Ethan. What's yours?"

"Elana but you can call me El if you want."  I say with a slight smile.

Ethan looks at me with a grin as we approach my car. Alex is no longer asleep like I hoped he would be.

"El, who the hell is he?" My brother asks 

"You must be Alex, I'm Ethan." Ethan states clearly annoyed that Alex didn't ask him directly.

"Bro, does it look like I'm talking to you?" 

"Alex don't go there with him. He's an Alpha and he's..." Alex interrupts me and says in a smartass tone,

"What is he, El? Is he your mate? I already know, your wolf wasn't quiet about it at all. Plus you didn't block me from your head so I heard everything. You should have kicked his ass and I don't care what he is to you or in general!"

"Alex, you still don't have control over your wolf so, settle the hell down before you or anyone else gets hurt." I tell him bluntly. 

Ethan tells Alex that he's had enough and that he just needs to sleep it off. He swiftly knocks out Alex before yanking him out of my car and flops him over his shoulder to carry Alex to the room. Little bro's not gonna be happy about that especially since his wolf is still new.  

We start our way up to the room that the lady at the counter had given us. On our way up there, Ethan continues to ask me if I need any help with mine and Alex's bags, I tell him no very bluntly. For the rest of the way up to room one twenty-nine on floor two was silence. Once we get into the room, Ethan and I look around it for a split second just to get a layout. The room is quite large, it has two twin beds on one wall and a few bedside tables and the other wall has a full-size bed that also has some bedside tables. In the short corridor, we see an average size bathroom, and directly across from the bathroom is a small closet. While I put down the bags and find clothes so I can go take a shower, Ethan puts Alex gently on the farthest twin bed to let him sleep. 

"Hey, is it alright if I go jump in the shower real fast. I should be only fifteen minutes at most." I ask Ethan quietly to not wake up Alex.

"Yeah, go right ahead. Real quick, which bed do you want?" He asks me patiently waiting for my response.

I look at him kind of taken back by his question,

"I don't care either one is fine with me. I'm going to go take a shower then I'll get settled in."

"Okay, enjoy your shower." He says with a grin on his face.
