Chapter Two

I stepped out of the warm showering with steam rolling off my body as I opened the curtain. I wiped the steam off the mirror and brushed my teeth and hair. By looking at my reflection I realized how much I resembled my father. But I was nothing like him.

I got dressed and looked at the clock that sat by the bed. It's only six am but I had to leave as soon as possible. I know the beta has already told his alpha and they'd be after me first thing when they woke up. I stuffed all my belongings into the small backpack I brought and slung it on my shoulder. I quickly exited the room and left the hotel without muttering a goodbye.

It's now 6:30 and my stomach wouldn't stop making obnoxious grumbles. I knew I had a long journey ahead of me so I should eat. All the shops were closed except for the mall that was about a block away.

I sprinted to it and walked inside the mall. The food court was the first place I went to. I ordered from the McDonalds they had and got a breakfast sandwich. I quickly sat down and basically swallowed my breakfast whole, not caring who saw.

Then suddenly the most amazing smell hit my nose and I knew it wasn't from the heavenly biscuit in front of me. I lifted my head and looked around. There really wasn't anyone here right now except for a few old ladies. The smell got stronger and it was legitimately the best scent I've ever smelled. I looked and looked and then I landed on a pair of eyes that were staring back at me. My mouth formed an 'O' shape as I took in the appearance of the tall dark haired god-like man. I felt a pull to him and all I wanted to do was jump his bones. He was muscular, I could tell even under the black t-shirt he wore.

Then it dawned on me... This is my mate. No, no, no! I can't be finding my mate right now! Of all times! I don't even know if I want a mate. I'm trying to move past this werewolf life and it's like I can't get away. I'll always be sucked into it somehow. The Moon Goddess hate me, that's the only explanation.

I quickly got up and accidentally dropped the biscuit on the ground. I basically whipped my bag onto my shoulder and sprinted quickly away. I could feel him following me and I knew he was only a few feet away from how strong his scent was. On impulse I went into Victoria's Secret, the only place a girl feels either the most comfortable or the most uncomfortable.

I sharply turned in to the store and grabbed a random bra, making it look like I'm going to try it on. I stalked towards the dressing room, not waiting for a sales clerk to show me the way. I walked in the small changing room and shut the door, locking it too. I stepped all the way back, hoping he wouldn't see the bottom of my feet from the short door.

Panic flashed through my mind as the scent of my mate got strong. I knew he couldn't be far and probably knew exactly where I was. Now standing here, not being able to focus on anything but his smell, I can tell he's an alpha. The aura that he gives quickly tell you to respect him. Great, this makes it even worse. Our bond would be much stronger than an ordinary werewolf bond. Basically there's no leaving one another in alpha relationships because it would hurt to be away from each other.

Maybe I could let him down lightly. Tell him that I'm not the werewolf type. Yeah, because I'm totally not a werewolf. I slapped my forehead against the palm of my hand and jumped at the loud banging on the door.

"Open this door!" The loud sexy deep voice ordered. I didn't know what to do but then I realized I would have no other choice but to open it. But hey, it's worth a try and attempt to stall him. Maybe he'll get bored and go back to his little pack.

"Um, I'm changing, and I don't open the door to random strangers." I said through the door. I heard him groan in frustration and he began to bang on the door once more. Dammit he's going to cause a scene!

"I swear if you don't open up this door now, I'm breaking it down!" He announced. I heard another voice next to him; he's with someone, great.

"That's a little extreme, don't you think?" I say to him, knowing it's not the time or place to be having a conversation. I can't believe I've been paired with another alpha. This is actually rare that this happens. Usually it's with another beta or lower so the werewolf bond doesn't get too powerful. I felt my wolf longing for our mate's touch by the sound of his voice. She easily wanted to submit and let him claim us. Wow, my wolf is a freaking whore. We haven't even met him properly yet!

I sat in the chair in the corner not knowing what to do when suddenly the door crashed on the ground. Oh shit. I looked up to see an angry pair of eyes looking at me. Behind him was the guy I met yesterday. I'm guessing that guy behind my mate was the beta. What a f*cking tattle tale.

"Can I help you?" I asked causally, acting as if nothing happened and he isn't my mate. I crossed my left leg over my right and crossed my arms over my chest. He just continued to look at me with an intense gaze.

He then stalked towards me and lifted me up to the ground so I was standing up. Then he wrapped his arms around my body. He felt so good against me and there were instant sparks from his touch. He made my whole body tingle and I just wanted to melt in his hold. Oh gosh I can't even believe I'm thinking such things. Here I am trying to move on and then he comes barging in and it's like all I've ever wanted is to be with him. Even in a stupid dressing room.

I snap out of my thoughts and begin struggling against his hold, trying to take a step back. But this only made him hold me tighter into his chest. The warmth was strangely comforting even though i don't know this guy's name or anything.

"Mine," He growled in my ear. His neck was buried in my neck, taking in my scent.

"Yeah, um I really have to go." I said, still trying to push him away. It was useless trying because my hands were securely to my sides from his hold. I might as well of had t-rex arms.

"No! You're mine!" He growled again. I'm really conflicted from being annoyed and being turned on. I guess that's what mates will do to you, especially alpha mates.

With all my strength I could muster up, I pushed back and he stumbled back a few steps and that's when I dashed out of the changing room and into the somewhat now busy mall.

I rushed to the escalator which was going down. I saw him on the upper level looking down at me. He quickly got on the escalator I was on and ran towards me. I got off the stupid thing and speed walked out the doors. Not my best idea. I had no idea where I was going due to the fact that I really have no idea where I am.

I went to my left and followed the road. I looked behind me and he wasn't there. Thank God. I sighed in relief, only to put that sigh right back in as a loud roar came from the car that was slowing down to where I was. I stopped and looked at the car.

It was my mate. "Get in," He ordered using his alpha voice. I laughed and continued walking. "I said get in!" He demanded in an even harsher tone. His alpha voice really has no affect on me since I too am an alpha.

Now I'm getting pissed. I turned on my heel and glared at him. "Who the hell do you think you are?!" I shouted at him.

'He's our mate you idiot!' My wolf exclaims, obviously not getting the hint that I'm trying to get rid of him.

He suddenly opened his car door and got out, making his way over to me. Our faces were now only inches apart.

I felt his hot breath in my face and it left chills going down my body. "Two things," He started. "One, you're trespassing on my land and second, you're my mate." He said, still with anger in his eyes. I could tell by the way he looked that his wolf was trying to take over.

I shook my head at him. "I'm rejecting you. I don't want a mate, I don't want this stupid werewolf life! I've had enough of it and I'm not putting up with so whiney alpha for the rest of my life!" I said. Anger filled my eyes and I could tell he was a little surprised at the sound of my voice.

'You realize that I'm highly offended that you want to live without me, right?' My wolf asks.

I internally groan. 'Not in the mood, Drama Queen.' I reply.

I turned away from him and started walking away. "Do not walk away from me!" He demands. I laughed to myself and continued walking. This guy can't be serious. Wow, my mate is an asshole. Thanks Karma, you really are a bitch.

I continued to walk and he continued to drive slowly beside me. This guy doesn't get the hint huh? Wait there was no hint, because I freaking told him that I wanted to live without him or any werewolf nonsense. "If you do not get in this car within the next ten seconds, I'm going to have to force you." He warned. My God, this guy, my 'mate', is forcing me to go with him and I don't even know his name! What the hell is this?!

"Can't you take the damn hint that I don't want to be around werewolves anymore?!" I shouted at him. He now got out of his car and stormed over to me. He picked me up and threw me over his shoulder. "What the hell you prick! Put me down you brute!" I screamed as I pounded my fists against his hard back. When he walked you could see his back muscles flex. I just wanted to lick them.

"Wow, all it took for you to shut up was to check me out from the back?" I could hear the smirk in his voice, which only led me to groan in frustration.

"No! Put me down!" I demanded.

"Fine." He said. Yeah he put me down, in his freaking car! Before I could attempt to get out he had already gotten in the driver's seat and drove off, also locking the doors.

"Where are you taking me?!" I asked, so many emotions going through my body. I wanted him, yet I wanted to live a normal life. Dear Lord! Is that so hard to ask for?

"I'm taking you home, now stop screaming.." He said, not taking his eyes off the road.

"Ok, well you don't know where I live." I told him. He glanced up at the review mirror and our eyes met. Oh his eyes make my heart melt. He's so... Beautiful? Yeah, he is. "And I'll scream if I want to!" I mocked with a smirk, watching him roll his eyes.

"You live with me now." He said casually as if I was just gonna go with it. My mouth dropped.

"What?! I don't even know your name! Listen, please just drop me off at the airport I need-" He cut me off before I could finish.

"My name is Asher, and you're not going anywhere. You're mine and mine only." Asher said with such seriousness. I noticed that his friend was still here, sitting in the passenger seat, emotionless, probably feeling awkward as hell. "Stop fighting the bond, I know you want me just as much as I want you.

"i am not yours you don't own me, I'm not a f*cking toy." I stated as I looked out the window and watched the passing scenery. The douche thinks he owns me. Pft, please. No one owns me. I'll be out of here in no time. I just need the perfect opportunity and I'm gone.

After a few minutes passed by we pulled up to a small village like community, in the middle of the woods. He drove passed the small log houses and pulled up to a massive house. Holy shit who lives here? God himself? I hope so, maybe he can take me away.

Asher came around to my door and opened it. This is it, this is my opportunity to run. Run like I've never ran before. Once he shut the door and began to walk up to the house I thought of another plan. I walked alongside him. When he opened the door it revealed what seemed like heaven. Or one of those houses you see on the show 'House Hunters'. The floors were a dark wood and the house inside was colored a dark cream color. I looked to my left and saw the living room, which had two black leather couches. In front of them were a fireplace and a flat screen TV hanging above. To the left of me was the dining room. There was a large wooden table and 16 seats placed around. I saw another door in the dining room; I presumed it lead to the kitchen. Ahead of me were stairs. I now will proceed with my plan.

I dashed upstairs as fast as I could and ran in the closest room. I locked the door behind me, soon hearing loud footsteps behind me. I saw the window and went to it. No I am not going to jump out of it. I'm simply going to open it and make it look like I did. Once I did that banging came from the door. I saw the closet door and quietly went inside and shut the door. There were a couple small holes in the door so I could see out of them.

"Open this damn door before I break it down!" Without even two seconds going by, I saw and heard the door hit the ground. He walked furiously to the window a sighed. Yes, I'm going to make it look like I left so that he'll go out and search for me. Then when no one is home I'm stealing his car and drive to California.

I saw him stand in the middle of the room looking... Calm? He ran his hands through his hair a couple times and then he walked to the damn closet, opening it. Damn it! I forget that you can sense when your mate is around. He looked down at me and shook his head in amusement.

"Why are you in the closet?" He asked and I quickly got out of it.

"I'm out of the closet now. Yes I'm a lesbian so I'm not your mate." I said turning on my heel to leave. He wrapped his arms around my waist quickly, as my back was now pressed against his chest.

He chuckled against my neck and I couldn't help but gasp at his touch. He felt so good. Asher started placing kisses on my neck and jawline. I couldn't help but let out a quiet moan. "S-stop." I breathed out, stuttering. I felt his chest press harder against my back.

"I don't think you want me to." He said, still pressing his lips on my neck and lightly sucking. Oh no, he found my sweet stop. An uncontrollable moan escaped my lips as my head went back slightly, giving him more access to me.

He continued kissing my jawline and that's when I realized that I still had to get away from him, no matter how good his touch felt. I caught him off guard as I escaped from his hold. I turned to face him. "I can't stay here." I told him. He needed to know that.

"Why? You're not going anywhere." He said. Slight hurt flashed through his eyes and my heart ached a bit, knowing that I was the one causing him the pain.

"I ran away from my pack because I didn't want to be a werewolf anymore. I want to live a human life and enjoy things instead of being so serious, like werewolves usually are." I told him, ok so maybe only half of that was true, but he doesn't even know me. He doesn't even know my name!

"I'm not letting you go. I don't care what you say, but you're my mate. You're mine and only mine." He said with a stern voice. His eyes never left mine. Well, until he walked away. I sighed and threw myself on the bed, screaming into the pillow. This is a serious FML moment.
