I felt someone staring hard at me, I started looking around the crowd and everyone is staring at me, but this is different. I saw Ayden and his group of friends but then I saw a girl that wasn't there earlier. We made eyes contact she is beautiful.....my wolf says, "Mate!" I was excited......I finally found my mate. I smiled at her, and she was about to smile when she gave me a dirty look then turned away and started kissing Joshua.

Then the pain kick in............it felt like someone was sticking needles in my heart, then I couldn't breathe I felt short of breath. I lean against my uncle, "Jayden what's wrong?" my uncle asked. "Get me out of here now!" I said in our mind link. When we find our mate it is not the scent that we recognized, it is when we make eye contact then everything starts shifting towards us. Meaning, that I can feel her, as she can feel me.....I can smell her, and her scent is drowning me and it is driving my wolf crazy. Great, why did the wolf goddess had to put me with her.......why her?

"Hey guys, this is Keely-" I looked up and saw the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in my entire life. She had long wavy brown hair and grey eyes. She is where the smell has been coming from.

"It never came up to my mind to be with you, to you be my first kiss, and to fall for you. Because I wasn't your Ms. Right,-" he suddenly grabbed my waist that made my body be that near to him. He held my spine and passionately kissed me. "Just, shh... I didn't request any Ms. Right,"

"Kiss me." He choked on his drink, gawking over at you instantly, "HUH?!" "You know, mouth to mouth action, maybe a little tongue if you're lucky," you piped grinning smugly. He looked like he had just got hit so far up between his legs as his expression grew pained. "Please tell me you're joking," he said breathless. You grinned, "of course I'm joking." His brows jumped at that as he let out a breathy laugh of relief. "Ahh! Y/N! Not cool." He was smiling as he went in for another sip of his red crush slurpee. You timed your next remark well, smiling like an idiot. "I was joking about the mouth to mouth part," you stated quick, "now your mouth on another set of my lips..." You trailed off and laughed loudly when you practically saw red crush pour out of Jungkook's nostrils. He had snorted the drink. ------------------------ Being set up on a date is hard as it is.
