"You ready?" Braydon asked as we pulled up to the pack house.

"Yeah." I say. He parked and we went inside. The house looks amazing. The living room had elegantly placed white couches with a huge TV mounted on the wall.

As I looked at the house in amazement, I began to smell a amazing scent. The smell became stronger as I stood there with Braydon.

Soon, a guy walked in and he wasn't just any guy, he was a hot guy.

'Mate!' my wolf yelled.

I looked into his blue eyes and felt the world fade away.

Braydon cleared his throat. I came out of the trance. The guy growled. I instantly became scared. David and Marshia, my foster parents, were werewolves too. That growl threatened the memories to come back. I cowered behind Braydon. He growled again. I fought the tears that threatened to spill.

"Kyle, this is my sister, Ava. Ava, this is my Alpha, Kyle." My brother said, introducing us.

I was completely confused on what was happening. I had so many questions. Why did my wolf call him my mate? Why did he smell so good? What just happened between us? My foster parents didn't teach me anything about being a wolf.

"Braydon, I'm confused." I said, looking at him for help.

"Sit down on the couch, he'll explain it to you." Braydon said

*****Kyle*****

I heard the front door open and smelt a wonderful scent. I followed the scent down stairs and it got stronger and stronger until finally I got to the living room and, standing there, was a girl. She had a tiny frame but she was beautiful anyway. Her Crystal blue eyes seemed to sparkle as we looked at eachother. Her beautiful black hair came down to her waist in loose waves. She was gorgeous!

'Mate' my wolf yelled.

We continued to look into each others eyes. Everything around me seemed to fade away and she was the only thing in the room.

Braydon, my Beta cleared his throat and got us out of our trance. I growled at him and a look of fear washed onto the girls face. She backed up behind Braydon and I growled again. I don't want my mate that close to another guy.

"Kyle, this is my sister, Ava. Ava, this is my Alpha, Kyle."

She looked at me in confusion.

"Braydon," she said, "I'm confused."

What did she have to be confused about? She's my mate and I'm her mate. It seems simple enough.

Braydon mind linked me. 'She wasn't taught anything about werewolves.'

"Sit down on the couch, he'll explain it to you." Braydon said to her. "l honestly don't want to have to tell you about it."

We took seats on the couch.

"What's happening?" she demanded.

"Ava," I started, "you and I are mates. The Moon Goddess wanted us to be together as mates. Mates are people that are suppose to be together according to fate."

"Okay. Why didn't Braydon want to tell me that? It wasn't that bad." she said.

"That wasn't the weird part. If you want to be with your mate, the guy has to mark the girl. It's like a hickey. A few days after the girl finds her mate, she goes into heat and she becomes really horny." I finish.

"Okay." she says, processing the information. "Do you want me to be your mate?"

"More than anything in the world." I reply. She yawns. "Maybe I should get you to bed." I lead her to my room and open the door. "The bathroom is over there and I'll get you some of my clothes you can wear to bed."

"Do you mind if I take a shower?" she asks.

"Go ahead. You don't have to ask permission for anything." I reply. She goes into the bathroom and I grab a pair of my drawstring sweatpants and a t-shirt and set them on the dresser before making my way downstairs.

He said I could take a shower! Do you know how long it has been since I have taken a hot shower? 6 years! 6 years!

After taking my shower, I get out and wrap a towel around myself. I go into the bedroom. I go over to the dresser and get the clothes he got for me. I go back into the bathroom and quickly put them on before towel-drying my hair. I go into the bedroom and find Kyle on couch, watching TV.

He shuts off the TV then turns to me. "You can sleep on the bed, I'll just sleep on the couch."

"You can sleep on the bed with me." I say. I go over to the bed and get in the covers. Kyle stands up and takes off his shirt. Oh my God! This man is amazing! It's very hard to keep my eyes of his oh so perfect drool-worthy 8-pack.

"Like what you see?" He smirks and I blush. He starts taking off his pants and I cover my eyes.

"What are you doing." I say with my hand firmly placed over my eyes.

He chuckles. "Don't worry, I'm not taking off my boxers." He states and climbs into bed. I turn so I'm looking at him. He looks into my eyes. His eyes are filled happiness and love. "Can I ask you a question?" he asks. I nod my head. "Why didn't you stay here with your brother before?"

"When I was 6, I had my first transformation. I was too small for a regular werewolf my age, let alone someone with beta blood. My parents were ashamed of me so they sent me off to live with some other people. Those people started beating me. A couple days ago, they got really mad and beat me until I passed out." Kyle growled when I told him about being beaten and that scared me. I whimpered and he immediately stopped.

He wrapped me in a hug. "I'm sorry. I promise that if anyone hurts you again they will have me to deal with." he said.

"Thank you." I snuggled into his chest and fell asleep.
