"Just tell me already!", he says impatiently though still with a smile.
"Fine!", I mutter irritated. "They did a bet over when we were getting back together." As soon as I say that I question why on earth I didn't lie, then again, Oscar knows when I'm lying and when I'm not.
His smile disappears and his gaze darkens. "When are we getting back together, Cat?", he asks in a hard voice. I look away not wanting to meet is accusing eyes.
"Oscar...", I protest but he cuts me off.
"No, listen to me. You think you can just do this, don't you? You think that you can say we're over just like that but 'oh, wait, we can still be friends', don't you, Cat?", he says bitterly. "That everything will be as it was", he mutters at the end.
I look down in shame. "We can stop talking if you want", I say shyly, tears threatening to make an appearance.
"You know that's not what I mean", he sighs and his expression softens. "You wanted time, I just want to know how much longer I have to wait", he says and I look up, meeting his sorry puppy eyes, "and for you not to act like everything is ok, like you didn't practically break my heart", he says, and I know he regrets saying those painful last words, but they're true.
Cat is a nineteen years old cat mutant, stubborn, natural hunter and cold headed with occasional savage out bursts about which little is known.
Oscar is a nineteen years old werewolf, with a kind heart and calm who is crazy in love with a green eyed feline, or so he thinks.
They both live in a small community composed of other mutants where everyone is at peace and everyone knows their role. Will this peace stay the same when the past of these two, full of secrets and lies, comes back from painful scars?
Adelaide meets her mate on the day she turns eighteen. However, she has a secret that no one knows about, not even her best friend. How long will she be able to keep this secret from her mate? And what will happen when he finds out?

I never heard him make a sound, so his voice makes me jump as I hear him say "I can smell him on you" from right behind me. I turn around and dread fills me as I look into his dark eyes. They're glowing from the light from the fridge. I stumble over my thoughts but manage to squeak out "I thought you were out on a mission for your Alpha?"
"I finished, and now I'm back." His eyes boring a hole through my head. "And I can tell that you've been slutting it up" he says with a look that makes me tremble.
I start to shake my head, to try and persuade him that I haven't been doing anything wrong, but he forcefully grabs my jaw and stops me from shaking it. "You really shouldn't lie to me Adelaide, now I'm just going to have to teach you a lesson" he spits out at me.

This isn't you typical story about werewolves, but I love the idea of mates, so follow these young adults on their journey with a supernatural twist.
