Hi guys! I was reading over chapter one and I realized that I made a big mistake, Xander's last name is not Conner is Jackson, Paisleys last name is Conner, so sorry for that.(:

..................................................

*Xander's POV*

"Bro come on we're gonna be late for school!" I heard Cole yell from down stairs. I sighed and walked out of my bedroom closing the door behind me. I jogged down the stairs and joined Cole by the door.

"Why does it even matter if we're late?" I asked annoyed. Cole smirked and walked out the door towards the car.

"It's Paisleys birthday today and I want to see her cuz I know she'll look good." He stated. I rolled my eyes at him and tried to hide the anger that I felt when he said that. I may not show it but I still care about Paisley and I miss being friends with her. I had considered trying to fix our relationship but then decided it was no use because she hates my guts.

I hopped into the drivers side of my car and Cole got in the other. I peeled out of the drive way and headed towards school. The five minute ride to school was spent in silence and when we got there I noticed that there was a big crowd of people gathered around Seth's car, I'm guessing Paisleys in there. I rolled my eyes at the stupid people and pulled into my usual parking space.

I got out of the car and Cole and I walked over to our group of friends.

"Hey baby." One of the blonde bimbos that hang out with us said as she attached herself to my arm. I smiled down at the girl and she batted her eyelashes trying to look cute.

"Damn!" I heard Cole say from next to me and I looked up to notice that ever unmated guy in the parking lot had there eyes fixed on one girl, Paisley. My eyes racked up and down her body and man did she look hot. She was wearing a pair of short but modest black shorts with a white shirt that falls off of her shoulder showing off just enough skin. Her dark hair was curled perfectly and she looked like and angel. All in all she looked mouthwatering.

I watched as she suddenly stopped and started taking deep breathes threw her nose. I furrowed my eye brows and started smelling the air to see what she smelt and when I did I smelt the most amazing smell in the world. It was like a mixture of lavender and roses.

'Mate! Mate! Mate!' My wolf howled in my head. I took another deep breath threw my nose and started looking around the parking lot for her. I knew the moment my eyes locked with hers that we were mates. As I stared into her beautiful baby blue eyes I couldn't help but want to go over there and kiss her with all my might. I had finally found my mate, Paisley Conner.

..

*Paisleys POV*

As soon as my eyes locked with Xander's I heard every wolf in the parking lot let out a loud gasp and they put there hands to there hearts. That was there wolfs and because we're both future alphas they all felt it. As I stared at Xander the only thing I felt was complete and utter love. Nothing else matter at the moment, nothing. I mesmerized by his warm chocolate brown eyes that is until I felt a hand on my shoulder.

I broke away from Xander's eyes and looked around the parking lot. Every single person from my pack was staring at me expectantly and every person from Xander's pack was staring at him. I looked at Lela who was standing right next to me and she gave me a large smile. I smiled back and felt my heart flutter at the thought of my mate. I had decided the moment that I realized that it was him that I didn't care about anything that had happened in the past, that I was willing to put everything behind me.

Well that is until I looked back towards my mate and saw what he was doing. Xander's lips were firmly planted on some blonde bimbos and his hands were groping her butt. I felt a painful throbbing in my heart and I felt tears come to my eyes. Almost as if he could feel my pain Xander broke away from the girl and looked at me. I saw a flash of pain in his eyes but it was gone and quickly replaced with a cruel glare. He then smirked at me and attached his lips back onto the girls'.

I swiftly turned away from Xander and rushed into the school with who knows how many people following me.

"Paisley wait up!" I heard Lela yell from behind me but I didn't listen I kept on going heading straight towards the bathroom. I threw the bathroom door open but before I could close and lock it Lela slipped in.

"What's wrong." She asked as she locked the door. I felt my bottom lip quiver and before I knew what was happening I burst into tears. I sobbed heavily as I slid down to the ground and brought my knees up to my chest. Violent sobs were shaking my body and I was positive that once I got done I would look like a raccoon.

I felt Lela slide down next to me and she put a hand gently on my shoulder.

"What's wrong Pais, your scaring me." She said quietly. I lifted my head up from my knees and looked at my best friend. She had sad eyes and she looked beyond worried.

"M-my m-mate." I stuttered out. Lela nodded her head and motioned for me to continue. I took deep calming breaths and managed to get the sobbing under control.

"Xander's my mate." I said. She gasped and put a hand to her mouth. I could see pity in her eyes and that only made me want to cry more.

"We locked eyes in the parking lot and I looked away for a moment and then when I looked back he was making out with some girl and he smirked at me when he saw I was looking, I'm afraid he's going to reject me!" I rushed out and then started sobbing again. Lela pulled me into her chest and I clung to her, crying on her shoulder.

"He isn't going to reject you Paisley, he's just not ready to give up his player ways. Remember that's exactly how Seth was at first." She told me reassuringly. When her and Seth first figured out they were mates Seth was a major player and it took him about a month to give up his ways before he got with Lela.

"Your right." I said quietly as I wiped my tears and stood up. I walked over to the mirror and laughed at my reflection. I had mascara running down my face and my eyes were red and puffy. I wetted a paper towel and wiped off the ruined makeup and then applied some more. You could still tell that I had been crying but I looked way better.

I turned back towards Lela and she smiled reassuringly at me. We linked arms and walked out of the bathroom. There was a large crowd of people waiting outside and Lela and I had to push past them to get by. Seth was waiting for us on the other side of the crowd and as soon as he saw us he rushed up to us.

"Are you okay Paisley?" He asked worriedly as he engulfed me in a hug. I hugged my favorite cousin back and then pulled away from him.

"I'm fine." I said back. He looked me in the eyes and I could tell he didn't believe me.

"Who is he?" He asked with an edge to his voice. I hesitated but nodded my head in the direction of where Xander and his group were standing by lockers. I watched as Seth's eyes scanned the area until they landed on Xander. His eyes widened and he turned back to me.

"Xander?!" He hissed. I nodded my head sadly and looked back over to my mate. I quickly looked away when I saw him lip locked with another girl. Seth saw my hurt look and looked to Xander. His eyes darkened and his fists clenched.

"I'm going to kick his ass." He said threw clenched teeth. I latched my hand onto his arm and pulled him back.

"Please dont." I begged. He looked down on me with angry eyes but they softened when he saw my face.

"Ok Pais." He said. I gave him a thankful smile. The bell rang indicating that we needed to get to class.

"I'll see you guys in second." I said to Lela and Seth, they had it done so that there schedules were exactly the same. They nodded there heads and walked away holding hands. I sighed and turned around heading towards my locker. When I reached my locker I dialed the combination and opened it up getting my math book out because I have math first. I was just about to close my locker when I felt a presence behind me and judging by how crazy my wolf was going it was Xander.

I slowly shut my locker and turned around to come face to face with my mate himself. He was standing only a few inches away from me and if I was to move we would be touching.

"What do you want?" I asked bluntly. Xander smirked evilly at me and reached his hand up. He placed his hand on my cheek and sparks exploded wherever he touched. He stroked my cheek gently and I sighed closing my eyes. I leaned into his touch and I felt my wolf sigh in happiness. The moment was short lived thought because Xander whispered in my ear.

"We can't be together." He said quietly. My eyes snapped open and I took a step away from him. I looked up at his face to see that he was being completely serious. I felt tears come to my eyes but I pushed them away.

"So your rejecting me?" I asked quietly looking at the ground. Xander snorted causing my head to snap up.

"No." He replied. I furrowed my eye brows and gave him a puzzled look.

"What do you mean? You just said we can't be together." I stated. He rolled his eyes at me and took a step forward.

"We can't be together but I'm not rejecting you." Xander said. I felt happiness rush into me when he said he wasn't rejecting me but then confusion. What does he mean we can't be together.

"Then why can't we be together?" I asked confused. Xander put his hands on my face and leaned in real close to me, his lips were just about to touch mine but he stopped at the last moment and uttered words that hurt my heart.

"Because I don't want to be with you." He said then stepped away from me with a smirk on his face. I felt my heart sink and this time I couldn't hold back the single tear that slid down my cheek. I didn't utter a single word as Xander waked away from me, I only watched with pain in my heart as he did. My own mate didn't want to be with me.

..

"Alright what's wrong with you?" Lela asked as I sat down at our lunch table. Her and Seth were sitting on the other side of the table and I barely lifted my head when she asked. I shrugged my shoulders and started to pick at my lunch.

I heard Lela sigh from across the table and she reached across the table taking my hands in hers. I looked up at her and saw that he was looking at me intently.

"What's wrong?" She repeated. I broke eye contact with her and gently pulled my hands away.

"Nothing." I spoke quietly. It's not that I didn't trust Lela, I mean I love her like a sister but its just to painful to talk about at the moment. I looked back down at my plate and I heard Lela snort. She had been trying to get it out of me all day and its starting to get old.

"Sure as hell doesn't look like nothing." She muttered sarcastically. I snapped my head up and I felt my eyes flash to my wolfs for a few seconds.

"Look just drop it Lela, I don't want to talk about it." I said and I couldn't help it I lost control and let all of my alpha power slip threw. I saw Lela and Seth flinch and now there heads in submission and at least eight other people from my pack did the same even thought it wasn't directed at them.

I immediately felt bad for using my alpha voice and I slowly took Lela's hand.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that. I just got angry, I promise I'll tell you I just can't talk about it right now." I spoke softly. Lela raised her head and I saw the hurt in her eyes.

"It's okay I understand, I shouldn't have kept asking." She murmured. I shook my head at her and looked her in the eye.

"No you were just being a good friend, I shouldn't have snapped." I stated. She nodded her head but I could tell she was still a bit hurt. I sighed and let go of her hand looking back down at my food.

"He basically rejected me." I whispered out but I knew she heard me because a loud gasp left her and Seth's mouths'. I looked up and saw that Lela had a horrified look on her face and Seth looked plain out pissed.

"What do you mean?" She asked shocked. I sighed and told them everything that happened and by the time I was done Seth had a murderous look on his face.

"I'm going to kick his ass." He hissed. I shook my head frantically and reached for his arm.

"Please don't, I-I don't want to see him hurt and its his choice of he doesn't want to be with me." I forced the words out of my mouth. I want going to lie I didn't want to see Xander hurt. Seth sighed and looked down at his food.

"It's just not right, your an amazing person I don't see why he doesn't want to be with you." He said quietly. I flinched when he said it and he noticed to. Thankfully before the conversation could continue the bell rang. I have gym next with Lela and Seth and sadly also Xander and his crew.

Lela and I walked out of the lunch room together and headed towards the changing rooms.

"Look-" Lela began but I cut her off.

"Can we please not talk about it?" I asked with a small voice. I saw sympathy in her eyes but she nodded her head. We walked into the changing room and over to our lockers which were right next to each other. I quickly pulled my clothes on. The outfit consisted of a pair of black spandex shorts that reached a bit above mid thigh and a t-shirt with the school logo on it.

Lela and I walked out of the locker room together and toward our group of friends that were in the middle of the gym.

"Hey!" Sydney on of my close friends said as we approached. I smiled at her and then looked down at my shoes. Our group of girls consisted of five girls, including me and Lela, there's Sydney the talkative one, Abby the funny one, and Kendal the sensitive one. We're all a close group of friends and we have known each other for practically our whole lives.

"So who's the lucky guy?!" Sydney asked me excitedly. I cringed and looked up for a moment. She had a confused look on her face and I gave her a small smile.

"I don't want to talk about it." I said quietly. Sydney nodded her head and none of the other girls tried to bring it up again. Coach Thomas came put and blew her whistle so that meant we had to do warmups. Since this is an all werewolf school our warmups are intense and consist of 150 sit-ups, push-ups, squats, and lunges. By the time we were don't my muscles ached and I didn't want to play the game.

"Alright class today were going to be playing flag tag. It's a good game to play to help improve your reflexes, running and your endurance now here's how you play." She started and then went on to explain how both teams have a different flag color and your supposed to pull the other teams flag, sounds easy enough.

Coach always has us do pack against pack so we didn't have to worry about teams. I strapped the red flags around my waist and joined my pack members. There was only about forty people in this class so it's twenty against twenty fair enough. I stood next to Lela and when coach blew the whistle I took off running and pulled at least three peoples flags in the first ten seconds.

I saw somebody lunge for my flag so I side stepped, spun and pulled his flag instead. I then moved on and pulled a few peoples flags. To be honest the game isn't even that fun but oh well. I saw a girl trying to pull Lela's flag off so I jumped forward and pulled hers off. I smirked when she gave me a dirty look and then ran away.

I was running around the gym because a boy from the other team was hot on my tail. I had a sudden burst of energy and I sprinted forward away from him. I looked around and noticed that there was only Seth and I left from my pack and there was Xander, Cole and two other guys from the other pack.

I sighed and ran over to where Seth was being surrounded. I quickly snuck up behind one boy and pulled his flag jumping back before the other boy could pull mine, being a future alpha gives me faster reflexes because of the alpha blood. I spun to the left when I noticed that the other boy was trying to pull my flag. I jumped forward and quickly snagged his flag before he even knew what hit him.

I snickered as the boy walked off of the court pouting. I turned around to see Seth going up against Cole but Xander was nowhere in sight. I shrugged and turned around right before Xander could pull my flag because he was standing right behind me.

I glared at him and dodged him when he tried to pull it again. He growled lowly and ran towards me. I ran away from him quickly but he was hot on my tail. I suddenly turned around and dodged Xander who ran right past me. I ran towards Cole and pulled his flag off just as he pulled Seth's off. I sighed, how cliché I get stuck going up against Xander.

I turned around to see Xander casually walking towards me so I took the time to look at him. His dark black hair was messy and looked like he had ran his fingers threw it many times but it still looked good. You could see his well defined body threw his shirt and his large biceps were reviled for all to see.

I was snapped out of my staring when I saw him try to get my flag. I dodged it and went to the right. He copied my movements and lunged again. This time I wasn't so quick and he actually got his hands on my flag. He smiled happily that us until he realized that he didn't have my flag because it had stayed on. I jumped forward and pulled his flag off of him, my hand made contact with his stomach when I did this and I saw him breath in heavily.

I smirked and threw his flag onto the ground. I saw him glare at me as I walked away towards my friends but I didn't care, that's what the stupid boy gets.

..

I sighed as I got into the back seat of Seth's car. Today had been a long day and I wanted nothing more then to go home.

"Hey Pais." Seth said as e and Lela got into the car. I gave them both small waves and then turned to look out the window. I happened to see Xander walking towards his car with a blonde following behind him. It hurt me to think about what he was going to do with her.

"Paisley were here." Lela said snapping me out of my trance. I looked up to notice that we were at my house. I furrowed my eyes brows and then shrugged, must have been spaced out.

I got out of the car quickly and then turned back to thank Seth.

"Thanks for the ride." I said. Seth smiled and then waved as he and Lela drove away. I sighed and started walking towards our large house. I knew that my parents already know that I found him brocade every pack member would have felt the jump.

I quietly opened the front door and closed it behind me. I walked towards the stairs and I was almost there when I heard the clearing of a throat. I froze an slowly turned around to see both my mom and dad standing in the doorway of the living room. My mom had a huge smile on her face and my dad had a scowl.

"Hi guys." I said quietly. My mom furrowed her eye brows and looked towards my dad.

"Hi honey, come sit. We know you found your mate and we want to hear about him!" She said excitedly. I swallowed the lump in my throat and followed my parents into the living room where we took a seat on the couch. My parents both looked at me expectantly but I didn't say anything. I didn't want them to know what Xander did because there very close to his parents and basically look at him as a son they never had.

"Go on baby girl, tell us about him." My dad urged. I cleared my throat and looked up at them. They both had expectant looks on there faces and my dads scowl had actually turned into a smile.

"I don't want to talk about it." I muttered. My mom frowned and my dad raised his eyebrows.

"Why not?" He asked. I shrugged my shoulders and looked at the ground trying to hold in the tears that wanted to come just thinking about it.

"Don't feel like it." I again muttered. My mom put her hand under my chin and raised my head up so she could see me. When she saw the tears in my eyes she gasped.

"What's wrong Paisley? You can tell us." She said as she scooted closer to me. I shook my head and blinked my eyes trying to get rid of the tears.

"Nothing's wrong." I repeated. My dad had a tight look on his face and he was glaring at the ground.

"Paisley something is wrong, you look like you about to cry." My mom stated. I sighed heavily and linked my hands together.

"Is it something your mate did?' She asked quietly. I nodded my head and I heard my dad sigh.

"Please just tell us Paisley." My dad spoke up. I but my lip and looked at my hands.

"I don't want to talk about it." I said again. My dad let out an angry sigh and I could tell he was getting frustrated.

"Did he reject you?" My dad asked angrily. I flinched at the word 'reject' and my dad saw.

"He did didn't he!? I'm going to kill that boy! Know is he? Tell me Paisley!" He yelled. I looked up to see that my dad was standing up now, pacing the floor.

"He didn't reject me dady." I said quietly. His head snapped to me and he gave me a confused look.

"Then what did he do?" He asked. I let out a sigh.

"He might as well have thought." I said. My parents gave me a questioning look so I told them everything that happened but I left out who it was. By the time I was done my dad looked livid and my mom looked like she wanted to cry.

"I'm so sorry Paisley." My mom said as she pulled me into her. I let out a few tears nothing more.

"Who is he Paisley?" My dad asked calmly but I could tell he was anything but calm. I shook my head and I saw his eyes flash to his wolfs. He suddenly stopped and took a deep breath of the air and I knew I was in trouble, Xander's scent will probably still be on me. I heard my dad silently curse to himself and I let out a quiet sigh of relief when I realized that he couldn't catch the smell.

"Tell me Paisley." He ordered. I shook my head stubbornly.

"Tell me!" He repeated. I again shook my head and I could tell I was just making him more angry.

"Damn it Paisley, tell me!" He yelled but this time to was different because he put all of his alpha power into it. I tried to fight it but it was to powerful so I gave up and dropped my head.

"It's Xander, Xander Jackson." I said quietly but I knew he heard me. He froze and ten let out a jagged sigh.

"Come here baby girl." He said quietly and I immediately got up and launched myself into my daddy's arms. I broke down crying and he held me tightly. That night I cried myself to sleep in my dads arms thinking about the mate that didn't want me.
