Emily wasn't sure that it was the right way but she didn't want to waste her breath when she could be laying on the bed with Pride and Prejudice copy than picking up some brat she didn't even know or remember.

Tapping her fingers across the steering wheel as Ellie Goulding voice accord echoed around the car she could see a white Porsche. She rolled her eyes already imagining some rich Alpha with the most snobby looking face and expensive clothes to go along with his shitty personality. She wasn't usually the judgiest person but she was.

As soon as she neared the fence she sniffed the air around, enjoying the way air was hitting her face. Holding her breath she got out of the car and walked towards the guards.

"Miss Emily" They both bowed down in respect as soon as they noticed her approaching them.

"Kevin, can you please open the barricade? There is a guest waiting outside." She ordered looking at one of the guards who was also her school mate.

"Oh. Is Mr Romano Sr aware of it?" Another one piped from the booth to which she refrained from rolling her eyes.

Ever since it was declared that Edward and Ethan were the new pack Alphas everyone started addressing her father as Romano senior. It was funny at first but now just plain annoying.

"Yes. He was the one who sent me. Open it already" She huffed and then walked back to her car and sat inside. She drove out of the fence as the shield was lifted off.

She got out of her car as soon as she was near the Porsche. She noticed that at the same time the Alpha got out of the car as well and it felt as if her entire body was on fire. She staggered back immediately, holding her palm against her neck while whimpering in pain. It was so unfamiliar that she felt as if she couldn't breathe for a while. She managed to keep her eyes open as she stared ahead and that's when everything went loose. She was aware of the amount of slick her body was producing just by staring at those stormy grey eyes.

Something inside her snapped and she automatically gravitated towards the tall, muscular Alpha. Her hands were itching to reach forward and just wrap her hands around the Alpha. Her omega was sniffing around, inhaling his scent as much as she can.

"Mine" A growl escaped from his lips which made her lift her head and look at him. Without a thought, a loud whine left her lips as he claimed her as his and she met his eyes.

Everything around with them was still for a moment and she was only looking at him. His eyes were the most prominent feature that attracted her instantly. With grey stormy eyes and sharp roman nose with his thin pink lips, she was sure he must be some Calvin Klein model who lost his way.

Emily could easily tell his eyes were darker than before and he was clenching his jaw as if trying to control his inner instincts. She lifted her hand and softly brushed it against his cheek and murmured, "Yours"

They stared at each other for a while, she couldn't believe that she found a mate. Someone she wasn't looking for and wasn't planning to look till a year. Fate works in mysterious ways and she had a proof for that. She could still feel butterflies in her stomach at the way he was staring at her.

Just then the sound of the acoustic piano version of Love the way you lie snapped her back to reality. With an embarrassing flash on her cheeks, she struggled to find her phone and finally swiped the icon to talk.

"Hello?" She breathlessly said trying to find her voice.

"It's been like 84 years where are you? Did you at least go to the fence?" Her mom's voice echoed to which she was a bit offended at that.

"So much trust. I am flattered too, be honest."

"Cut that tone. Did you pick up Zach?"

That's when reality hit her. Her mate was her father's best friend's son, someone she already knew but doesn't remember. Someone she is supposed to spend her life with. How was she going to tell her father? Oh moons,! Her mother. She would definitely freak out and start planning the mating ceremony. And what about her brothers? They always planned on interrogating her mate and advising him to run away also explaining about the danger of marrying her. How were they going to react? She felt bile rise into her throat while thinking about everything all of a sudden and she wanted to run away.

"Emily? Are you there?"

"Huh! Yeah...yes...I mean I'll be back. Yeah bye"

She quickly hung up the phone and was dreading to turn around and face the person she was entitled to marry. Taking a deep breath she finally turned around and it felt the breath knock out of her lungs while staring at him. How was he even allowed to walk on streets looking like that? It was unfair to so many omegas and probably pissed a ton of Alphas with that good looks.

"Umm... Are you by any chance, not Zach Moretti? My father's best friend's son?"

He shook his head and she found it hard to ignore the way his hair casually brushed against his forehead and made him look even more attractive. Then he let out a short chuckle the voice so deep that its end shivers down my spine and she had to clench her thighs shut. What was he doing to her?

"Guilty" He s, aid and that's the first time she had heard him talk and it was so rough yet husky that she wanted him to talk forever. His voice was so smooth that he would definitely ace at singing soft love songs.

"You must be Emily then?" He asked after a second to which she nodded her head.

"Yeah. Sorry about that fence... The security is much needed." She said lamely while looking at the fence and then back at him.

"No, I get. Those attacks are horrible." He gave her a weak sympathetic smile.

"Uh... You... I'll lead you the way you can just follow me." She cleared her throat, cursing herself for not being able to form proper sentences. It wasn't her fault though, just her Omega reacting to finding her mate.

He stared at her for few seconds and then looked back at his car to which she raised her eyebrow. Then he looked past her, as if he was judging her car which was a sweet Range Rover so he can suck it.

"My tyre got slashed as I was trying to turn around my car... Can I get a lift to your house?" He asked and she could see that he was clearly embarrassed to ask that as he was hiding his eyes from her. She didn't like that because he had the most expressive eyes ever. She may be biased about that though.

Her eyes immediately shifted towards his Porsche and she noticed that his two front tyres were horribly slashed. Then she noticed that he had tried to cross the red boundary area and she felt pity for his sleek car.

"Wow... I'm really sorry about that. We purposefully threw in some glasses and sharp objects in there so that the attackers won't be able to cross the boundary." She pointed towards the red line, which was almost invisible and covered by the leaves. Her father was the mastermind who had thought about it and everyone was on board but still the attacks persisted.

"It's really that bad huh!"

"Yeah"

And that was that. He didn't say anything further, waiting for her to say something. She licked her lips as she had only one thing in her mind, his knot. It was pure carnal omega instincts. She was a bit ashamed of that.

"Let's just go," She said not meeting his eyes to which she didn't hear him say anything but a low hum. She turned around, aware at his stare following her movement.

As soon as they reached the car she heard his question, "Should I just leave my car here?"

"Don't worry I'll send someone to fix it for you."

As soon as they were sitting inside the room she felt overwhelming. His scent was the only thing she could breathe in and it was so powerful and strong that her omega was whining for his knot.

She adjusted her mirror and turned on the radio to drown her thoughts and be distracted. It was very difficult for her. From the corner of her eyes, she noticed him clench and shift uncomfortably in his seat.

"Zach are you fine?"

He looked at her alarmed, "No...Your slick is driving me crazy. I want to knot you"

She slammed the brakes.
