I know I'm being an ass about it but I'm just tired and pissy right now. My friends really have done a lot for me and we have had tons of fun together. There is no way they weren't real about some of the things we shared together. I can't remember how many times we went clubbing and traveling around seeing the sights as a group. I just have to get my mood adjusted and only sleep can do that for me at the moment.
I let all the other passengers who are in a bigger hurry than me leave first, I hate being pushed and shoved when I get my carry on out of the overhead bin. Besides I have to wait for my big suitcase to be unloaded and nothing gets done too fast around here. Saying thanks to the attendants I head down the passageway with the last few who like me just waited for the rest to leave first.
The sounds of people voices fill my ears and it's over powering as I enter the larger part of El Prat airport. Even at 6:30 am it's busy here and the people are everywhere, the one bad thing about having wolf senses is all the people contained in a inside space. The smells and sounds are hard to handlea nd I haven't had enough time to adjust myself to the change. I'm just want to get my suitcase and get the hell out of here.
I turned my phone off airplane mode and was checking my messages as I moved along. I felt like one of the walking dead at this point and my body was on autopilot . I texted my sister and mom that I've arrived and was heading out soon. By the time I reached the luggage area, the suitcases were coming down the chute and I watched for mine to finally slide out of the dark hole. Spotting my case with the bright purple ribbon I had tied on the handle come down , I moved up quickly and pulled it off. Another perk of being a werewolf, I'm stronger than the average female and my heavy case is no problem.
Wheeling to the exit, I'm in a taxi and headed out of the airport . Next stop pack house and then home to bed.

unknown POV
He was standing against the wall outside of customs, watching the passengers who just got off the plane from New York come though. There was no smile on his face and his arms were across his chest was he stared without blinking. The crowd had thinned out and now only a few were trickling out now. Maybe she passed by already and he missed it, but he was sure no one with that description had gone by.
He was ready to give up and head down near the luggage area to look for her when a young woman came into view. She was tall shoulder length reddish hair , her emerald green eyes looked his way without really seeing him before focusing on moving down the hallway. I could see the resemblance to Jarlen almost immediately , this had to be her. She was a beauty just like they told me , at least they didn't lie about that. As she passed his position, he moved ahead of her along the wall quickly blending in with the other passengers. Stopping near the luggage area, he kept out of her line of sight the entire time.
He watched her carefully as she moved through the airport. His eyes never leaving her figure, she was totally unaware of being watched as she scrolled through the messages on her phone. He snapped a picture of her as she passed close by him and quickly sent it off in a message. It didn't take long to get a response, they confirmed it for him. She was the young wolf he was looking for, and he moved silently behind her as she headed down to retrieve her luggage.
Tired and ready to just get back to her apartment, Alisha moved like a zombie along with the rest of the passengers who arrived at the airport. It was fairly busy and the overwhelming scent of all the bodies around her blended together. He had difficulty even picking up her scent, humans around her wore too much perfume and it covered her unique odor. It was a long flight from Montana in the States to Barcelona, Spain and she was definitely going to suffer jet lag with the time change. It didn't look like she slept at all on the plane. According to the schedule he had gotten, she had a few days before leaving for the coast.
Alisha stood and watched as the luggage came out of the chute and rolled down to take the slow trip around the carousel so her fellow passengers could pull theirs out. Spotting hers by the big purple ribbon on the handle, she moved into place and quickly pulled it off. Handle up with the wheels on the ground she headed out to the exit.
He just leaned against the far wall watching her go. As she headed to the door to leave, he followed behind . No sense in her seeing him before he was ready, that would foul up the plan. Nope he had to go slow with this one, even if everything in him cried out to just grab what is meant for him.
She was promised to him by her father and he wanted her. With the help of her grandparents she would be his by the end of the month if all went as planned.
She got into an waiting taxi and drove off towards the city. His eyes burned with want as she drove out of his sight.
Soon little one, very soon.
Alisha POVAs the taxi sped along the road, I closed my eyes and let myself relax . One thing I could easily do was grab power naps without any trouble. I knew it would take at least at least an hour to get to the Alpha's home and the driver thank god was not a chatty person. By the time the taxi turned down the final street to get there I was feeling a little more energized. Staring at the large homes we passed by little a tourist. This was definitely a very pricey neighborhood but I figured it would be based on the status Alpha's had. They were kinda like the mafia big bosses with all the money and power behind them as they ruled their pack. The taxi pulled up in front of a huge white mansion, there was a large metal gate stopping us from going any further at the bottom of the long driveway. I have to admit, this place was beautiful. I love the style of homes here in Spain , the archways and red tiled roofs are something I didn't see back home in the states. Not saying it
I'm in charge of my own destiny, the one thing my paternal grandparents told me that I took to heart. I make my own path in life and get to choose who is beside me as I journey down that path or I can go it alone.I'm happy for my little sister, falling in love and having him turn out to be her mate is great for them. I just don't see that kind of thing happening to me like that, it was the situation at the moment that made their paths cross. So I don't think that counts as much towards the whole fated thing, it was just an accident of life. That is not me. The driver swerves around a few more times and I hold on to his arm now to stay seated in the cart. Damn he smells good too, what do these male wolves bathe in cause they smell yummy to me. Even with my plugged up head I can smell his scent due to our closeness. There were a few males back in that Montana pack that made me look twice , but I didn't have extra time there to really get to know any. Don't get me wrong, I'm no
Alisha POV I dragged my sorry ass into my small one bedroom apartment , dropping everything in my hands just inside the door. Locking it behind me , I began to strip my clothes off as I walked the short distance to my bedroom. I passed the mess I left behind when I left for Montana. I'm not usually a very neat person but I wouldn't have left the place like this if I hadn't been in such a hurry. The food on the dishes and pans that were sitting on the counter had gotten hard , I could smell the rotten stuff in the garbage can . Things were tossed about on the couch and floor. It looked like someone left in a hurry and I had. Now I just added the clothes I had been wearing to the growing piles on the floor.I'm not messing with cleaning it now and I turn a blind eye to my surroundings as I focus on one think...my bed. By the time I get to it I'm in nothing but my underwear , the trail behind leads from the door to here. I crawl into my unmade bed and am out like a light. Exhaustion
Alisha's POVI sit back on my sofa, letting my head go straight back as all my muscles go straight into limp noodle mode. This past week has been one big blur as I wrapped up all my projects and got my final papers handed in. I'm so ready for some me time and that means fun things. As I survey my apartment, noting the few boxes stacked against the wall ready for the move this weekend to my new stomping grounds . There is only my clothes and few other personal items to move, everything else stays . I'm looking forward to spending some time on the beach , soaking up that sun and relaxing before starting my internship.The hotel owners have allowed me three days to get settled and used to my new surroundings before diving into the job. I know it's going to be hard to get much time to myself after I start. I expect to be running my ass off the entire time I'm there, they own me for the next three months. Since it's part of my education I'm unpaid and they determine my hours. Free labor fo
Alisha's POV ***mild steamy scene ahead**The bright sunlight streamed through the window, and of course my face was getting the full effect of it. Why didn't I pull that shade down before I went to bed last night, I groaned and rolled over to my other side slowly. Snuggling myself into the warmth of the body next to me, problem solved light on face no longer a issue . "this is nice" I murmured as I made myself comfortable . Before I could drift back to sleep , my sleepy brain began to register the fact that there was another person next to me in the bed. Now my eyes were wide open and the idea of going back to sleep gone. I was awake.I felt him shift slightly as he adjusted to my new position , his back was to me and I heard an soft snore come from this person lying next to me. My mind was quickly coming to life as the situation I was in became more apparent. I was totally naked , I did a quick check under the sheet and confirmed I wasn't the only one as I checked out hi
Alisha's POV The place he picked was one that I frequently went to , it wasn't far from my place and the food was good. We sat outside on the patio to enjoy the warm afternoon breeze. I didn't even have to look at the menu here that's how many times I've eaten here. I had that thing memorized the first month I spent here in Barcelona, granted it wasn't a big menu but still it counts. Being a full time student didn't leave much time for cooking either not that I'm complaining. It just never interested me that much and I preferred to eat out. No dishes to wash or shopping to do, and since it was only me it made more sense. Don't get me wrong, I can cook enough to survive if needed . One of my goals in life includes having a full time cook when I finally make it big in my career. I've never pictured my self being a home maker, cooking and cleaning while caring for children. Nope, that's one tough job and I have to give kudos to the women who do it. My mother was a prime example and I l
Alvan POV**some swearing and sexual stuff ahead**It was so easy to get close to her, if there was anyone assigned to keep an eye on her they weren't doing their job. I followed the two of them without any problem, and that club was the perfect place to set my plan into motion. It's a popular hangout for all the tourists , a mix of humans and supernaturals all blended together. No one pays any attention to the strange mix of shifters. The scents of rogue and different pack members , along with the humans filled the place.My scent would have been difficult to determine mixed in with all the others unless you were right next to me. Technically I'm not an rogue, I'm the beta of a pack that now doesn't exist. Eventually it will change but I have plenty of time for that. It's not like she would be able to tell anyway, she is newly shifted and is blissfully unaware of many things. That can only work to my advantage and I intend to manipulate any information that doesn't help me.I watched
Alisha's POV Morning came too early, but it always does when your up most of the night. I was super excited about my internship starting and ready to embark on my chosen career. Yet I didn't want to get out of bed , even though it was cramped with both of us squeezed in it. I called him last night and it didn't take much effort to talk him into helping me pack up the rest of my stuff. When we finished that we stayed up most of the night "enjoying" each others company. Alvan didn't seem to mind that he was my booty call. But right now Paola was going to be here in an hour and he had to be gone before that. I wasn't ready to hash out with her why I gave in and called him. She isn't going to let me forget this and I don't want to hear about it all the way there in that small car of hers."You have to go" I push on his arm near his shoulder hard, his body barely moves even with all the effort I put in to it. This man is a brick house of muscle, but I don't have time to ponder tha
