« Oh my god, I have to go cook before the Alpha arrives. I know you excused me for the morning but if they see an empty plate I am going to die » I said leaving the room.

« Lily ! » Austin called and I stopped to look at him. « Just remember, chest and butt out, and always make eye contact ».

I ignored his last comment and went almost running to the kitchen. I placed the chicken on the oven and started making the rice.

I leaned against the counter and immediately got off. The scars felt so uncomfortable and foreign against the fabric I was wearing. Every whip, knife and burn that was inflected on my skin left a scar. I wish I could accept them like I did with every other issue in my life but somewhere deep inside of me I knew that they didn’t belong in my body and never will.

I was pulled out of my train of thoughts when I heard the chatter of my pack. I looked around to see people rushing down the halls and out the front door. I walked around the counter and looked out the window. My whole pack was in a formation of 5 lines that were organized by age and the ones with a tittle were on the front. 3 black cars were parked a few feet away from my alpha which I am guessing are the Bloodmoon pack’s Alpha and Beta. The ones who always make the pack visits.

I quickly returned to the kitchen remembering the last time the Alpha caught me snooping through the window.

Almost 5 minutes passed when I heard the front door being slammed opened and closed. I straightened up expecting to see the Alpha but in return saw the most handsome man in the world.

His eyes were the most beautiful shade of blue I had ever seen. His jaw was hard set and framed his perfect cheeks and nose. To make matters better he had the most beautiful plump pink lips. His brown hair was styled upwards in a somewhat quiff that didn’t touch his eyes.

His muscular arms defined his wide chest, if that was even possible. You could see his abs through his white shirt.

He was freaking perfect. My mind had to be playing tricks on me.

I looked at his eyes once again to make sure he was real and that’s when as cliché as it sounds, the world around us stopped. It was just me and him, someone I had never seen before and I have served food to anyone in this entire pack. And believe me that if I had met this man before I would’ve totally remembered him. Maybe he was from the Bloodmoon pack.

And while I was in this little mind trip looking at the beautiful piece of art before me, it opened his mouth and growled the words I never thought I’d hear in my entire life. « Mate ».

Well…. Shit. Shit, Shit, Shit.

« Don’t worry about someone that doesn’t worry about you »

He growled again while his eyes skimmed down my body slowly.

He took no time in walking towards me and only stopped when he was right in front of me. My whole body was tingling because of his presence. I don’t think I’ve ever used that word to describe how someone made me feel except for this situation. He raised his hand and I did everything in my power not to flinch while his fingers trailed down my cheek leaving sparks everywhere he touched.

« What’s your name, love ? » His husky voice said. Even his voice was perfect, and it was perfectly understandable for the physical perfection he displayed.

Even though I’m human I could still feel the effects he did to my body but his were much stronger than mine. I’ve heard multiple stories of how mates feel around each other and I can only feel a grasp of that. Still, it is absolutely surprising.

« Lily » I said softly and he threw me a smile that made my heart beat faster. « Lily » He repeated after me, like he was tasting how it sounded in his mouth. « I like it » He said and I felt my cheeks turning red.

Why am I blushing ? He just said he liked my name. That’s it. This is so not good.

« I am Alpha Logan from the Bloodmoon pack but you can just call me Logan » He said and I swear my heart stopped beating and my face turned into a horrified expression.

He is an Alpha, THE freaking Alpha and he’s stuck with a human like me. Nobody messes with Logan because he is feared, everyone knows how he defeated almost an entire group of rouges by himself. He has an amazing reputation which not many Alphas have even come close to achieving. He deserves a strong she wolf that can defend herself without his help. He deserves someone beautiful and stunning to match his beauty. He deserved someone who wasn’t me.

No matter how much these thoughts hurt me, I knew they were true. And I’m sure he knows this too. I’m not good enough for him and this is going to hurt me more than what I go through daily.

I stared at his face once again preparing myself for the rejection that is bound to come. Logan was about to say something but he suddenly went stiff and took my hand.

He dragged me through the hallway since he took way to big a step and I couldn’t keep up with him. Damn he was fast. We stopped in front of a random room and stepped inside.

He locked the door behind us, pressing me against its hard surface.

« Mine » He growled pressing his face against my neck, breathing in my scent.

« Stop that » I yelled, tears streaming down my face. I tried to push him away from me but he didn’t budge. « Just reject me already ». I don’t want to be even more hurt if we keep on talking or were even in the same presence.

« I won’t reject you » His voice was low and dangerous. Was he worse than I thought ? He will actually make me think he wanted me and then break my heart into a tiny million pieces.

« Well then I will. I, Lily Crawford reject you Logan Wa-«  Before I could finish he slammed me harder against the wall and covered my mouth with his hand.
