Maddox POV

I sigh while getting out of the shower, those filthy rogues ruined my clothes with their blood.

"We will find her soon! I can feel it!" My wolf says again.

I growl in frustration and push him to the back of my mind. I already have a headache because of him.

I get dressed and go to my office to start working to get my mind off things.

I hear a knock on the door and my Beta walks in.

"Alpha, my daughter is here," he says politely.

"Bring her in, I want to talk to her. Alone," I say and he nods walking away.

Soon the most beautiful girl I have ever seen walks in, she has dirty blonde hair, pale skin, and light freckles on her cheeks.

She doesn't look me in the eye though, I sigh and look down at my work. I feel my wolf trying to tell me something but I ignore him.

"I just want to say that I am only allowing you to join my pack because you are Beta Leonardo's daughter, so stay out of my way! You are dismissed," I say raising my voice, my anger seeping through, I wasn't mad at her just at my wolf who kept trying to break down the barrier i had put up.

I hear a whimper and finally look up, her eyes are wide and red with unshed tears.

It all happens at once, I meet her baby blue eyes and my wolf finally breaks down the barrier, what he says has me frozen.

"Mate! Go get mate!

At that same moment she runs out the room.

I stare at the spot were she was just a few seconds ago in shock.

I have a mate! My mate is alive!

Then reality sets in. I told my her to stay away. She must think I will reject her! She ran!

I quickly stand up and run after her. I smell her delicious scent and see that she ran out of the village. I shift in mid air into my black wolf and sprint towards my mate's scent.

Jayda's POV

(Before the meeting)

"The alpha will see you now," my dad says.

He walks me to a door and I walk in.

The most breathtaking guy is sitting behind a big mahogany desk.

He looks up at me for a second then looks back at his work. I hear my wolf say something over and over again. and when I finally understand what she is saying my mouth turns into a face splitting smile.

"MATE, we found mate!" My wolf says.

My smile soon falls when I hear what he says.

"I just want to say that I am only allowing you to join my pack because you are Beta Leonardo's daughter, so stay out of my way! you are dismissed" he says

I can't believe this, ever since Ellie explained to me what mates were, I couldn't wait to find mine. But he doesn't want me. I am not good enough.

I feel tears sting my eyes, but I refuse to let them fall. A whimper escapes my lips and he finally looks up.

He stares at me, his mouth slightly open.

I can't take the pain anymore so I bolt out the room and leave the house. I quickly shift into my wolf, not caring that my clothes will shred.

I sprint though the woods wanting to get away from the heart wrenching pain I am feeling but the farther I get the more it hurts.

I let out a pain filled howl and stumble to the floor.

I don't even try to stand I just lay down, whimpering.

I then hear a twig snap and I look up, I hoped that my mate had come after me, to say that he really wanted me but I knew they were absurd thoughts. My thoughts were confirmed when a dark brown wolf started walking towards me. This wolf did not look friendly, it looked feral and deadly.

I just stared at it, Ellie said that your mate was the most important thing for a wolf and mine didn't want me, so I really didn't care if I lived or not.

The brown wolf growled at me but I didn't even flinch.

He snapped his jaw at me but I stayed emotionless.

He then started attacking me, his teeth sinking into my flesh. When the pain got too much, I shifted against my own will.

The physical and emotional pain was just too much.

When I shifted, the brown wolf stopped attacking me.

He looked at me over and his eyes turned black with lust.

He shifted into human form and was standing in front of me in all his naked glory.

He was actually good looking, I think all werewolves are good looking really.

He had brown hair and I couldn't see his real eye color since his eyes were pitch black, but he stared at me hungrily.

"Aren't I lucky? I found such a yummy looking female all for myself," he says with a sardonic smile.

I feel disgusted at his words. Even though my mate didn't want me, I couldn't imagine myself with anybody else.

At lightning speed he had me pinned between a tree and his body.

He runs his nose up and down my neck.

"I may even mark you," he says kissing my neck. I instantly tense.

"Should I mark you?" He asks with a smirk.

I start struggling. "No! Let me go! Please I just want to leave," I whimper.

He kisses my neck and starts groping my body.

"I can't leave you without getting at least a little taste first," he says sardonically while licking my neck.

"I want you too badly, I'll just mark you and keep you," he says, his canines extending and grazing the spot where my neck and shoulder meet.

"Please stop!" I plead while sobbing.

When he is about to plunge his teeth into my neck, he is ripped off me.

I try to see but my eyes are too blurry with tears. I wipe them away and see a black wolf attacking the guy that was about to mark me against my will. He kept throwing him against trees and sinking his teeth into his flesh and taking chunks of flesh out. The look on the black wolf's face is scary. He looks feral like he is out for blood, and not just any blood but my attacker's blood.

After ripping my attacker apart he turns to me, his eyes immediately soften, probably because of my tear stained face and scared look.

He shifts back and I see that he is my mate.

In that moment I forget that We both are naked and run towards him, hugging him like my life depended on it.

After a moment of calming down I realize my mistake. I am hugging the guy that told me to stay away, my Alpha. If he wanted to he could kick me out of the pack and I would instantly become a rogue.

I tense. "I am so sorry Alpha, I promise it won't happen again and I will stay out of your way," I say starting to pull away and bowing my head but not completely so I don't look at his member.168

He growls and I pull away completely. "Please forgive me Alpha," I whimper, tears streaming down my face.

I am scared shitless right now.

My mate pulls me back, burying his face in the crook of my neck, inhaling my scent.

"I am sorry," he says.

"Alpha, you have nothing to be sorry about. I was out of line sir," I say in a small voice.

"Please, stop," he says in a pained voice.

"Stop what Alpha?" I ask.

"That!" He exclaims, "I don't want you to call me Alpha or sir! I want you to hug me whenever you want to, I don't want you to be scared of me, and I sure as hell don't want you to stay out of my way!" He says with pleading eyes.

"But you said-" I start.

"Forget what I said! I didn't know you were my mate, baby, I have been looking for you since I turned 16," he says, his voice full of pain making me whimper.

He cups my cheek, "Please tell me you accept me because now that I found you I can't bear the thought of not having you in my life! Our pack needs a Luna and I need my mate."

I pull him close and hug his waist. "I thought you didn't want me," I cry into his chest since he is too tall for me to reach his shoulder.

"Baby, how could I not want you? You are perfect! You are everything I ever wanted in a mate and more," he says hugging me tighter.

We keep hugging each other for I don't know how long until I start to pull away, finally noticing our nakedness.

I blush and look at anywhere but my mates face.

He chuckles at my embarrassment and starts looking for something in a tree, few seconds later he comes back and hands me an over sized shirt while putting on some basketball shorts.

"Ummm, whats your name?" I ask in a small voice.

"Maddox, what's yours?"

"Jayda," I tell him with a smile.

"A beautiful name for my beautiful mate," he smiles back and I swear my heart stops.

He thinks I am beautiful, and his smile is breathtaking.
