Evelyn woke up in an unknown room, cold and completely spread out on the comfortable bed that was below her. She sat up, groaning, before rubbing the sleep from her eyes.

The room was dark due to the blackout curtains that hung in front of the windows. Standing up, Evelyn stretched out her limbs before pulling the curtains back, allowing for light to flow into the room. The girl looked around, taking in the queen sized bed and furniture that lined the room.

Hearing a knock on the door, Evelyn scrambled back onto the bed, pulling the covers up around her.

"Come in," she whispered loud enough for the person on the other side of the door to hear.

The door opened and in walked the tall, blonde man who had been stalking her ever since she bumped into him on the trail that one night.

"Good morning princess."

"Why am I here? What do you want from me?"

The man smiled, leaning against the door. "You're here so we can be complete sweetheart. To make both of us whole. After all this time I've finally found you, and now that I have you, I'm never letting you go."

"W-What?"

The man moved closer, sitting on the edge of the bed which caused Evelyn to scoot herself back.

"What do you know about werewolves, my love?"

Evelyn laughed. "I know that they're mythical creatures. Just made up stories to scare children."

He smiled, looking down at her. "Sorry to break it to you darling, but werewolves are real."

"You're insane."

"Oh my Goddess they're real."

Evelyn stared at the wolf that now sat in the spot the man had just occupied. It was the same exact wolf from that day in the park, the wolf that she always saw outside of her window.

The girl reached out a shaky hand, gently setting it on the wolf's head. Evelyn moved her fingers through its fur, her eyes shining with pure amazement. "Werewolves are real."

The wolf snorted, almost as if it was laughing at her innocence. It scooted itself closer, now being able to lay its head in her lap. Evelyn continued to move her fingers through its fur, watching as the wolf's body rose and fell as it breathed.

Hours passed before the wolf moved again, stretching itself out before hopping off the bed and moving into the closet. Evelyn waited, confused as to what it was doing, but understood once the closet door opened and out came the man instead of the wolf.

"Believe me now, sweetheart?"

Evelyn nodded. "I'm still confused though."

"About?"

"Why me? Why are you watching me? Why did you take me?"

The man chuckled, taking his place back on the foot of the bed. "You're my mate."

"I'm your what?"

"My mate, princess. My soulmate. My other half."

Evelyn looked down, wringing her hands together in embarrassment. "I'm sorry, I still don't understand."

"It's okay babydoll, no need to be embarrassed. You see, when the Moon Goddess created werewolves, she split our souls in half. We kept one half and the other was put into our soulmate. Someone who was specifically made for us."

"A-And I'm yours?"

The man smiled, nodding his head. "That's right, you're mine. My soulmate."

"B-But how do you know?"

"How do I know that you're my mate? Well, once werewolves turn eighteen something switches inside of us. Every mate has a certain smell, and this thing that switches in us allows us to pinpoint that smell. Your smell, my darling, is absolutely incredible."

Evelyn blushed, watching the man as he moved closer to her. "W-What's your name?"

"I'm Alpha West, but you, my darling mate, get to call me Jasper."
