« Whatever. »

« Someday I hope your eyes get stuck in your head » dad mutters.

« Rude » I mumble and walk upstairs.

I grab out a black skirt that I never wear and a white singlet then my undergarments and get changed.

I walk into my bathroom and let my hair out, I ruffle it with my fingers and pat it down shrugging to myself.

I apply nude lipstick and that’s all I’m doing, mum would complain if she sees me in jeans and a shirt because someone important is coming.

I spray myself with perfume then walk out of my bathroom, I smile at Tahlia- my sister and then frown when I see tears in her eyes.

« Tahls, what’s wrong ? » I ask.

She sniffles and wipes under her nose and I sit next to her « I- it’s my mate. H- he rejected me, then got mad because I haven’t accepted the rejection so we aren’t fully ex- mates. H-he wants to be with s-someone else » I frown.

« He will accept you sooner or later Tahlia, I swear. You’re a kind, beautiful young lady, well older then me but who cares » I wave it off and give her a small smile.

She lets out a shaky sigh « you think so ? » I grin.

« I know so. But that doesn’t stop me from cutting his balls off, what’s his name » she laughs.

« Michael Caswell » I nod.

« Well off to see Michael Caswell » I exclaim and slap my legs standing up.

I walk out the door and outside « have you seen a Michael Caswell ? » I ask a random.

He shakes his head and walks off « have you seen a Michael Caswell ? » I ask and she shakes her head muttering a sorry.

« Have you seen a Michael Caswell ? » This person nods and points to the lake where a guy with pitch black hair sits.

I say thank you then walk over to the jackass, I stop next to him and cross my arms over my chest.

« You coming to give me crap about your sister ? » I’m about to agree when I see tears in his eyes and sit next to him.

« Why are you crying, my sister is the one who should be ? » He curses.

« I made her cry ? » He says painfully.

« Well yeah » I say.

I watch him awarefully, this isn’t how he should act if he was rejecting her. Does he really want someone else ?

« I had to reject her » he croaks out « I don’t want anyone else but her, I’ve saved everything for my mate. I just feel as if I’m not good enough » I give him a small smile.

« You are good enough, you’re made for each other. The moon goddess made you to be each others mate » he smiles at that.

« Really ? » I nod.

« Now go get her. She’s in the house » he nods, stands up and runs off.

I smile then it fades, I look at my reflection in the lake « well it’s just me » I mutter and stand up.

Now to the party

People are singing, dancing, drinking, mingling and talking. Me ? Well I’m eating a chicken wing all by myself and it’s just great honestly.

This party is boring, the only thing good about it is the chicken.

Something needs to turn interesting, like really soon.

I’m about to blow my wits out with how bored I am, seriously so bored.

I hear a possessive growl and look at my stomach, is it possessive over the food ?

I look up and am met with brown glowing eyes, I gasp.

« You’re mine chicken » I look at the chicken in my hand and really I’m about to slap him for saying that to my chicken.

Can’t he get another piece, not mine ?

But he’s looking at me, wait was he talking to me ? I point to myself « yes, you » he says as if it’s obvious.

My mouth forms an ‘o’ shape and I embarrassedly shove the chicken in my mouth.

I lick my fingers clean and the hot guy raises an eyebrow, he has brown nice soft looking hair, brown eyes that glow, olive skin, muscles- yum ! A stubble and it’s honestly so attractive, I used to think it was ugly but on him- yum.

He’s also really tall, I have to crane my neck to look at his face.

Oh and he’s also kind of my mate….. Well not kind of but….. My mate.

And why am I not talking to my mate ?

« Hello ? » He asks.

I cough « um…. Hello. »

He gives me a breathtaking grin, showing all his perfectly straight white teeth.

Why is everything about him so attractive ?

« What’s your name ? » He asks.

« Lainey Knight » he smiles.

« Ah daughter of Damien » I give him a confused look.

« And Angel Knight » I finish for him « what’s your name ? » I suspiciously ask.
