*SIANNA'S POV* Oh my God! What is this man doing here? Hailey and I were at the mall at the shoe store trying to get our claws on the new arrivals. My mate had just walked into the same store but went over to the men’s section. Surreptitiously, I observed his movements as he spoke to the attendant who was flirting with him. I rolled my eyes and tore them away from him. I did not need to see that gut-wrenching scene. 'Mate.' My wolf urged me to go to him, as usual. I blocked her for the time being, but he would be able to scent me and sense my wolf. So I repeated inner supplications, please don’t come over here. Hastily, I grabbed Hailey by the arm and pulled her, “Let’s go and check out the new department store on the third floor.” “No, I am not done yet.” Hailey frowned and stopped me, “Look at these!” She held a pair of silver lace-up pumps in strappy heels of a luxurious brand, “I’ve got to try these on.” She sang as her face lit up and went to the stool to sit for the try on.

*SIANNA'S POV* My wolf began prancing in my head as the Gamma stared at me intently. I felt like he was undressing me, so I moved uncomfortably to get around the counter. My nerves were spiraling and I thought to myself, just be calm. They will leave eventually. Ignore them and do your job, Sianna. The Gamma kept smirking at me and he came to the counter to make the order for himself and the other two. I smiled and refused to meet his eyes. He gave his order politely, “I’ll have three breakfast sandwiches with an espresso, and two coffee. Make sure one of the coffee is black and the others with cream.” “Would that be to go?” I asked as I punched up the cash register. I didn’t have to look at his face to see his cool but flirting demeanor. His silence forced me to look at him and he licked his lips at me. “Ahem,” I cleared my thoughts, hoping to dismiss his advances. The other two watched us in amusement. I was not going to entertain them. Why aren’t they at the pack house running

Hailey’s POV - Saturday I was surprised to see Curtis at the mating ball. “Hey!” I gave him a tap on the shoulders. “Who’s the new friend?” We were at the breakfast buffet filling our plates. I knew I glimpsed him last knew but he slipped out of my view and then I could not locate him through the crowd of werewolves that were present in the ballroom. As soon as I saw him this morning I was busy observing them for a while. He was holding hands with this girl and she was obviously flirting with him a lot. She tried to kiss Curtis on the cheek but he shy away from it. The disappointment heavily laid on her face. The girl touched him in ways that only a lover should so I needed to investigate up front. He was not getting away from me today. My new found mate, Raj was by my side and he didn’t know what was about to go down. Raj nod his head in acknowledgement, so eager to please me. “H-Hailey!” He stuttered in shock as he turned to face me. “Oh, this is Jazmine. We met last night” P

Unknown POV Tomorrow was supposed to be my date night with Sianna. I should text her with the time that I would pick her up. Chances are that she would prefer to meet me there but the least she could do was allow me to pamper her a bit. I couldn’t believe that she rejected me. I was flabbergasted when she did that. She’s a feisty little she-wolf. I thought any rejection being done would be from my end and never from my mate. I knew she was with the Curtis dude base on conversations overheard from her parents, but that was before I knew she was my mate. My wolf would not have known that she was ours until she reached eighteen years old and by that time she had graduated and left for college 135 miles ( 3 hour drive) away from the central area (pack house). I was so happy to have found her at TeeBee’s café that day but she was too blinded by the twinkling infatuation that she held for Curtis. Her intoxicating scent of roses and strawberry made my wolf lost all control. When our eyes

Sianna POV The vehicle parked at my home at six pm exactly. This man was a man of time. He was smirking all the way to the rendevous which slightly irritated me as I sat in the passenger seat. We didn’t talk at all and my mind was jammed with thoughts pertaining to how the rest of my evening might turn out. I felt nothing but the pull to be with my mate but I was not in love with him. The energy that coursed through my body because of it was insane. My core burned with a desire for sweet release with every thought of him. I tried to think about the weather, school, Hailey, mom, dad, cows and chickens. At this point anything but my mate. I looked out the window at the lovely tree-lined road as the car continued to drive smoothly. We drove for fifteen minutes when he pulled up in front of an officer tower. Luckily it was closed because I did not wish to be seen like this. I anxiously looked around to vet the area. Thank goddess that it was Sunday. Being alone with the gamma would
