And then it went black.

I don’t know which one is worse ; A) I passed out in a crowd full of werewolves who I haven’t even met before or B) that my mate was the reason that I had fainted.

Considering my mate is the infamous Alpha Hunter, I’ll go with B.

Do you ever have that feeling like you’re falling ? Like you’ve reached the climax of a roller-coaster, stuck in those few seconds at the very top, anticipating the drop. And then you drop. You have absolutely no control, the butterflies going at war in your stomach, the pounding against your head as the wind whips past you.

I felt like I was falling on an endless roller coaster with no ups.

When I finally woke up, fed up with the dreadful feeling, I found myself inside of a car.

The sun rays shine right through the window making me blind for a couple seconds until I can adjust. Turning away from the sun I noticed I was placed on the passenger seat of a two-seat car. It was one of those small, cute cars that you swoon at when they pass on the road.

Looking to my left, I saw a boy no older than myself. He drove firmly, his attention on the streets in front.

My brain erupted in questions. Why am I in a car ? Who is this guy ? I certainly didn’t recognize him.

His hands were fists wrapped around the steering wheel, his black hoodie tight against his arms, outlining his muscles. The sleeves of his sweater folded up a bit at the wrist showing a small tattoo of a crescent moon.

He was a pack warrior for the Dark Moon Pack, my mates pack. My Mate. The word sounded so foreign echoing in my mind.

Suddenly uncomfortable in my position, I arched my back, stretching it. Before I could stop my self, I let out a big yawn.

Not once did the boy look over.

« Umm excuse me ? » I spoke, rather politely might I add.

He gave me no attention, just kept staring at the road. I grew annoyed by his hostile attitude.

« Hello ? » I try again. His grip tightened on the wheel, but not once did he look over. I could be dying right now and he would just continue driving without a clue.

« Will you just look at me ! » I yelled.

As soon as the last word slipped from my mouth, the car aggressively pushed to the side of the isolated road we were on, then abruptly stopped all together. Not prepared for him to suddenly stop, my hands reached out in a useless attempt to catch myself as my head swung towards the window dash.

A big arm reached out pulling me back just in time. Once I was back in my previous position, I noticed the stranger’s dark eyes watching me, an obvious annoyed expression on his face.

No ‘I’m sorry for almost killing you’ not even a hello.

If looks could kill, I’d be 6 feet and under.

He looked so serious, that I couldn’t help my amused smile. Maybe I had hit my head a little too hard.

« Do you find this funny ? » His bold voice asked.

And now I’m scared.

« U-um no ? » It sounded more like a question.

« Just don’t talk anymore. » He demanded.

Not liking his tone, I replied, « You’re not my Alpha, I don’t need to listen to you ! »

His lips then formed into a spiteful smirk.

« Oh, on the contrary, it was our Alpha’s order. So, in a way, yes, you do need to listen to me. »

I don’t like this guy. Crossing my arms over my chest, I sat back and pouted.

« Why am I even here ? Where is the rest of my pack ? » Apparently, that wasn’t the right thing to say because the next moment a harsh look formed on his face.

« There is no my pack anymore. You are all part of the Black Moon pack, at the bottom. The very bottom, » Jeez, this guy needs to relax.

« Why am I here ? » He put the car back in drive and started back towards the road. Why did he even stop in the first place ?

« Didn’t I just tell you this ? Make somebody happy and mind your own business. »

« This is my business. And no, you didn’t tell me, » I spoke making sure to extend the no.

He didn’t reply.

« For the love of god just answer my question ! » I screamed very frustrated with the guy.

« I. Told. You. » He spoke through clenched teeth. « You pups are now part of-«

« No, » I interrupted.

« Why am I in this car with you ? » I couldn’t help but to speak with distaste.

He gave me a look as if to say the feelings mutual.

« Please just answer that question and I’ll be quiet. » He sighed, but nonetheless, finally cooperated.

« The Alpha asked me specifically to drive you to our pack house. For some idiotic reason, you fainted earlier. » The boy took a second to glare at me before looking back at the road.

I felt goosebumps rise on my arms at the mention of Alpha Hunter.

My mind wandered from there on, would he reject me ? Would I reject him ? What if he kills me ? I mean, one less problem for him.

« And why did he do that ? »

« I don’t know, I don’t question our Alpha. » He didn’t know we we’re mates. I mean of course not, there is no way he would have spoke or treated the Alpha’s mate the way he was treating me.

It’s better off this way. Maybe if he rejects me, I can live my life like I wanted. Go to a school far, far, away from here.

After 10 minutes of endless driving, I attempted to make conversation.

« So… What’s you name ? »

No reply.

« Well, my names R-«

« Didn’t I tell you to shut up ? » He muttered angrily.

Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed, I rolled my eyes at him.

« Well technically, you told me to stay quiet not shut up. »

« And now I’m telling you to shut up. »

« Chill, I just asked for your name. » I decided to ignore him and stare outside for the next few minutes.

« Greg. »

Startled by the voice cutting the silence, I pathetically stuttered, « w-what ? »
