I stepped inside the house, knowing Thomas left the driveway before my dad could see.

It was getting close to dark and the sight of Adrian shoes by the door, told me he is already home.

Shit.

If Adrian is home before me then I am in big trouble!

I quietly slipped the car keys in the Dish bowl and slipped my personal house keys in my pocket.

I carefully slid my feet out my shoes and made my way to the stairs.

"Not so yet young lady."

Ugh.

I turned around to see dad wearing his doctor jacket and a bag by his feet.

"Hey daddy'O." I smiled sweetly. He crossed his arms.

"Where have you been? I never knew studying took hours!"

I sighed. "It was complicated. Her parents also invited me to dinner so I stayed a bit late."

"And you didn't think to call?" He asked accusingly. I huffed.

"Dad I-"

"No Aniela! You are suppose to call me when you are running late. Your only 17!"

I was growing annoyed. "Exactly! I'm 17! I think I could protect myself. I don't need you breathing down my back 24/7!" I snapped.

He looked shock and I was shocked myself. I never. NEVER Raised my voice at my dad.

Great. I rolled my eyes internally. This mate shit is bring out the worst in me.

"You know what." My dad whispered. "Amanda is right. Your just like your mother."

With that he left the house, slamming the door forcefully, leaving me with sadness pouring into my empty body.

I sighed, closing my eyes and made my way up the stairs. I looked up too see Adrian standing there, leaning against my bedroom door, his arms folded.

"He's wrong you know. Your nothing like mom." He said looking at me.

I smiled sadly and leaned against the railing. "If only Amanda saw that..." I whispered.

He touched my shoulder and looked down at me. "She will. Just spend more time with her."

I sighed. "That will be hard now."

With the fact that I have a Angry werewolf down my back I don't think I could ever spend time with Amanda.

"And why is that?" He asked.

I shrugged. "I'm tired. Goodnight." I walked off into my room and locked the door behind me.

I teared off my clothes, until I was down in my underwears. I slipped a shirt over my head and tucked myself under my sheets.

I closed my eyes and tried to fall asleep.

But I couldn't.

I stirred and stirred. I put the pillow over my face but nothing worked!

Then my phone buzz.

I picked it up and saw Artemis texting me.

I sighed. Do I really want to text him right now?

I closed my eyes. I set my phone down and exit my bed. I slipped on some shorts and closed my bedroom door after going in the hallway.

I opened Amanda's butterfly covered door. She was sleeping with Stuffies cuddled in her arms. I smiled at the sight.

I closed her door and crawled in her bed. I moved her in my arms and she stirred.

"A-anita?"

I kissed her nose. "Hey."

She rubbed her eyes. "Are you going to sleep with me?"

I nodded. "Can i?"

"Y-yes." She yawned. "Go to sleep chipmunk."

She nodded and fell back asleep.

I tried to do the same thing but the only thing... Face... i saw when i closed my eyes was not Artemis...

But a face i wished to never see again...

Mom.

"3 Chocolate Chip shake please."

The waiter nodded and left with our order.

I looked down at Amanda who was playing with my phone and then looked at Ebony.

She was watching the window her hands on her chin. Her black hair in little curls, her Dark chocolate skin shimmering under the sun light.

"How is it?" I asked. Her head turned to me. "Hm?"

"The school. How is it?"

She smiled shortly. "It's..."

"Your not getting bullied again are you?!" Raising my voice a bit.

The way Olivia and I met Ebony was because she was getting harassed by the "Snotty Queen bee"

I hate people like that. I just wish i could go to one highschool that doesn't have sections. That everyone could get along great. Jocks friends with nerds. Cheerleaders friends with goths.

Everyone is there own person and you shouldn't be judge by who you want to be. Phase or not.

"Quiet down Anita. I am fine!" She hissed.

My face dropped and she looked guilty. She reached across and took my hands. "I can protect myself ok?"

I sighed and squeezed her hands. She squeezed it back.

"Here's the 3 chocolate chip shakes." I thanked the waiter and gave him his money.

I got up, handing Amanda her shake. But she was too busy looking out the window.

"Amanda here."

"Anita?"

"What?"

"Who are those guys? They keep staring at us."

I looked up and my eyes widen. Artemis and Thomas was standing there watching us.

"Anita are you ok?" Ebony asked.

I nodded. "Watch her for a bit please?"

Ebony hesitated but she nodded. I walked out the Diner and stormed to The boys.

Artemis looked at me a smile appearing on his face. Thomas didn't even bothered to look at me. He kept staring in the window.

"Mate-"

"What are you stalking me now?"

His smile dropped. "N-no. I just needed to-"

"No what Artemis? Give me some time to think about all of this." I lowered my voice. "I just saw you turn into a wolf, found out about this private world and that i am a mother of millions of wolves!"

"Anita i-"

"His wolf can't spend a minute without you. If his wolf doesn't smell you or know if your safe or not it would get agitated. It needs to smell you and then it would calm down." Thomas said, still looking through the window.

"Why do you keep looking at my friend and little sister?" I questioned, forgetting about Artemis.

"He found his mate." Artemis said, now his hands on my waist. His nose buried in the crook of my nose. I tried pushing him away but he kept a sharp grip on me. I sighed.

"Hell no. My sister is way too young to be a old man's mate!" I screeched.

"Not your sister." Thomas said, his voice growing husky. "Your friend."

Oh god.

"Ebony?!"

He nodded. "You can't! She is too innocent for you! And young!"

"How old is she?" that caught his attention. I gulped.

"U-um 16..."

He squinted his eyes at me. The door opened and Amanda ran to me. She started hitting Artemis.

"Get your face out of my sister neck!"

Artemis whimpered and jumped back. He looked down at Amanda and his eyes flashed the original color.

"Woah." My sister stopped. She looked at me. "Did you see that?! He has powers!"

I rolled my eyes. "If you only knew."

~

Artemis refused to let me out of his sight. I ended up having to bring Amanda home and Dragging Ebony with me to there house.

We were currently sitting on the couch, Artemis and Thomas in front of us.

"So.... Why are we here?" Ebony asked me. Her chocolate eyes looking at Thomas.

"Wanna tell her or should i?" Thomas asked me. Looking at Ebony.

I rolled my eyes. "Ebony he's a werewolf, Both of them are. Your mated to him from some stupid goddess and were stuck with them."

Ebony pursed her lips and nodded. "So... Where is the crack? Yall must be high."

I laughed. "Trust me. I wish i was."

Ebony looked at me surprised. "Damn. Olivia would be mad to miss out hearing you say that. She would of recorded you and everything."

"Damn right... Fuck.. You got some?"

Ebony shook her head. "I could call Daniel. He might have some?"

I laughed. "Daniel always got the good shit. Call him and ask how much and I got him."

Ebony nodded ready to take her phone out when-

"WHO THE FUCK IS DANIEL?!?!"

Ebony screamed while surprisingly I just flinched but remembered there dumb ass wolves and stayed still.

"T-they just growled!" Ebony screeched. She looked at me with wide eyes. "Y-you wasn't kidding?"

I shrugged. "Nope." Popping the "P"

She watched me before fainting.

I closed my eyes watching people chase each other on the Green grass. They look so... Normal.

Yet I keep imaging them turn into these little monsters who tear off people heads.

But are they really like that?

A sigh escaped my lips. Suddenly I felt a presence behind me. But the way my hair stood on my neck and my breath hitched, my heart thumping hard and goosebumps rising on my arms I knew who it was.

"Artemis." I whispered, without turning to look at him.

I felt his chin on my head, his arms on my waist. "Please don't push me away..." He whispered, as soon as he felt me tense.

I sighed and leaned back in, enjoying the warmth radiating from him and the tingles forming on my arms like little mini electric zaps.

"So this mate thing... You can't be with no one else?"

"No one." I felt the low growl vibrate from his chest.

I guess that's one thing I don't have to worry about. Him looking at other woman.

"I don't think i'm cut out for this. I can barely take care of myself, let alone a whole pack. Who's wolves might I add."

"I can take care of whatever you can't handle love. I promise."

I closed my eyes. "May I show you something?"

I nodded, my head bobbing against his soft yet hard chest.

He took my hands and walked in front of me leading me down the stairs.

The grass brushed against my ankles and we stand in the middle of the field.

Artemis turned to me and smiled at me sweetly making my heart flutter.

"Don't me scared please?"

I bit my cheeks. "O-ok..."

When he took off his shirt, I realized what he was about to do. "Wait!"

His raised a brow. "D-don't change in front of me. It's too painful to watch and hear."

He nodded and ran into the woods. I stood there, hands rubbing my arms and looked around.

Soon I heard pattering and I turned to see the same black wolf.

I stepped back but then remembered it's just Artemis.

He came up to me and sat down, nudging my hands with his wet nose.

I gasped. He tilted his head and nudged my other hands.

"What do you want me to do?" I asked.

He barked making me flinch. "Touch you?"

He nodded. I hesitantly reached out my hands and placed it on his midnight fur.

I started getting braver and placed both my hands on his fur.

I sat down and he laid his head on my lap once I did so, I smiled and scratched behind his ears.

He barked and I laughed. "Your really cute."

He barked at me again. "Oh shut it. Your cute and maybe a bit sexy."

He licked my knee. "I know you think you are ass."

He made a noise which I think was him laughing.

"I think I could get used to this... Maybe it won't be so bad to have a Alpha boyfriend."

I think he smiled once I said that. And I did too.
