Sorry for the wait... here it is nice and long!!!

Oakley’s P.O.V

Kissing Scott was like fireworks going off in my head. It was almost magical.

Like it was meant to be.

His lips were soft and smooth.

I was kissing Scott Williams. The Scott Williams.

I pulled back, moving away from Scott. This was Scott Williams.

And I was kissing him.

I stared at him; I was no longer scared nor frightened or him.

“What are you thinking?” he asked curiously.

I looked up and smiled at him. He was so handsome and sweet, really he was the perfect boy.

“What was that for?” I asked him

“What?”

“The kiss.” I blushed just thinking about it.

“I like you Oakley.” He said.

“What?” I froze.

No one likes me. I didn’t even have friends.

Why was everything changing all of a sudden?

Scott was looking at me curiously.

Scott and I were two completely different people.

He smiled. “No that’s not right.” He said.

I frowned, knowing it was too good to be true.

“Oakley I love you, and I have for awhile now.”

Now this shocked me.

I think I chocked on my own saliva, because I couldn’t breathe. This didn’t feel right. I looked at him and saw the worry on his face.

I could hear him faintly calling my name, but I was still in shock, how could this boy love me, when my own parents didn’t?

I didn’t see anything else as I blacked out, falling into Scott’s chest.

Scott’s P.O.V

She fainted after I told her.

I shook my head.

She was a strange girl.

It probably had something to do with the fact that she didn’t have her parents. They weren’t there for her when she needed them.

If her parents didn’t love her, why would anyone else?

Because she is beautiful, that’s why.

I carried her up into her room and laid her down on her warm bed. She still was a little damp from earlier, but was nearly dry. Her hair was starting to curl at the ends.

I smiled, I’m really glad I told her how I feel; it was about time she new. Maybe just maybe she might feel the same way about me.

You never know.

Leaving her in her room to sleep it off, I left her house and ran home. I noticed that in the forest alone the way there was people starting to set up.

Why where they setting up?

I walked to my room and closed the door, not wanting to talk to anyone. It got me thinking, although I was completely worried about Oakley and if she was okay, I never had a change to sniff out the wolf who scared the crap out of her.

I would kill that wolf next time I saw it.

Not that I did see it in the first place, so that could be a problem.

“Son come down here for a second please.” Father yelled using his Alpha voice. It was strong and demanding, if he wasn’t my father, I would honestly be scared of him.

I stumbled into the kitchen and found dad standing with his hands folded together on the bench, him looking at me, burning a hole through my head.

“What?” I asked rather rudely.

“You will speak to me like a son speaks to his father Scott okay?” He whispered.

I nodded, he was always angry these days.

“Are you ready for tonight?” he asked.

What was tonight?

I looked through my brain and had no idea what he was talking about. Today was a hectic day, I didn’t need his little games.

“What’s tonight?” I finally asked him.

“The mating ceremony.”

I looked up at him and realised he was being completely serious.

I had a mate and he refused to believe it.

“Dad I already have a mate, it’s pointless for me to go.” I stated.

“She is human Scott, it’s just a school girl crush, after tonight you will hopefully forget about her.” What he serious?

“Dad I love her, I’m not just going to forget about her in one night. She is my mate.” I stated again.

“She is human!” He screamed banging his fists on the bench. I jumped back.

I stepped closer to him, Alpha or not, he should not be saying anything about my mate.

“She is my bloody mate whether you like it or not. I love her or not. She is mine and I’m not going tonight.” I whispered carefully so he would understand perfectly.

“You are my son, you will follow me and you will find a mate that is a werewolf. You are god dam lucky I don’t force you from seeing this human.”

I froze. “You wouldn’t.”

“If you do not go, than you bet I will.”

“What if I take Oakley with me, she is my mate, and she should be there.”

“She doesn’t know about werewolves, what makes you think she will be able to manage tonight?” He asked.

Yeah so that was true, she probably wouldn’t, but it was worth a try.

“Maybe they would start to respect her if I took her.”

“Maybe they would think you brought food with you.” He said flatly.

I was angry, no that was an understatement. I was beyond furious.

“I would not let anyone use her.”

“Try telling hungry, desperate wolfs that. Scott You get to your room, put on your best clothes and get down here, you are coming with me whether you like it or not.” He demanded.

“What are you going to do if I don’t?” I challenged.

“I will kill her with my bare hands.” I knew who he was talking about and I didn’t doubt that he was kidding. It took everything I had left to walk around from and not rip his throat out.

Slamming my door closed, I lay on my bed and called Oakley. She should be awake by now. What would she say though?

After three rings a sweet voice that I adore answered.

“Hello?”

“Oakley, it’s me.”

“Yeah I got that; you did give me your number remember.” She chuckled.

“Right.” I smiled back.

She was silent.

“So um Oakley, have you thought about what I said to you earlier?” I asked casually.

“Yeah.” She breathed.

“And?”

“I don’t know what to say.”

“Maybe how you feel?” I asked.

“I don’t want to upset you.”

Hearing this, my heart dropped, she didn’t feel the same way about me. I knew it. she probably hated me, I hit her, teased her, left her out in the cold.

Why would she like me?

“Scott, you still there?” She asked.

Crap I forgot I was still on the phone to her.

“Yeah.” I muttered.

“I’m sorry, I’m just not ready. Everything is happening way to fast.” She said.

“I understand.” I said glumly.

“Can we still be friends?” She asked with a hint of hope in her voice.

I smiled, of course we will.

“You betcha, you can’t get rid of me that easily.” She laughed.

I was completely serious.

We talked for a few more hours about random stuff, and it surprisingly wasn’t awkward in the slightest. She was kind and caring about almost everything I said. I told her that dad was forcing me to go out tonight with the ‘family’. She just laughed and told me to suck it up. That I should be darn lucky I had a family in the first place. That was kind of true I guess.

I got changed and walked outside to find mum and dad already in the wood waiting for me.

Did I go there in wolf or human form?

I thought it was probably best if I go in human so I don’t send across the wrong message. I didn’t want to seem desperate. Because really, I’m only going here to show my face them leave.

Oakley said if things get really bad at dinner I could come to her place, Mary wasn’t going to be there.

I smiled at how dam caring she was. Of course she would offer for me to come over even if it was over midnight.

I walked there taking my dandy old time, and found everyone staring at me.

“This is my son, Scott Williams.” Dad said as I entered.

Everyone looked up at me, some people looked up in lust, while other in hatred and sorrow.

Tyler on the other hand was surprised.

Yeah well I would be surprised if I heard that a father was making his son come to a mating ceremony in hoping to find a mate, when he already had one.

“Hello.” I smiled to everyone.

People started to clap. This was what was required to them, clap to their alpha and its son.

I sat down next to Tyler and he nudged me.

“So your old man dragged you here?” He smirked.

“Something like that.” I nodded.

“What about Oakley? What if you do find someone tonight?”

I shouldn’t find someone else here tonight because I already have Oakley. Right?

“I won’t find someone else.” Was all I said.

“Well the girls behind me were like drooling over you earlier, you missed it, it was pretty entertaining.”

I smiled, “did you say anything?”

“Nah, it was too funny,

‘Oh my gosh I saw him first!’

‘I saw him working out.’

‘He is in my class!’

Argh they are so annoying!” He mimicked the girls in really high pitched voice.

I laughed, “You’re just jealous that it wasn’t you!” I punched his arm.

“Why don’t they, I work out!” He complained.

I laughed.

“One day my friend, one day.” I smirked.

“I’ll find my mate tonight, you wait.” He joked around, but deep down, I could see that he was serious; he wanted a mate real soon.

The night was getting later; I was board out of my brains.

I pulled out my phone and smiled brightly when I saw there was a text from Oakley. Unlocking my Iphone I saw the text was from a few hours ago. I opened it up and smiled,

‘Died of boredom yet? O’

I replied almost instantly.

‘Nah not yet, wish you were here!’

She was cute, probably waiting for me to come over.

More and more people were mating; I think Tyler even found his mate. Him and this girl have been talking for hours, they were kissing at one point. Gosh even moving to the third step.

First step was talking, and actually meeting your mate. Then second state was touching them. Not anything bad, just holding hands. Third step was kissing passionately kissing, not just as peck, lastly was sex. Having sex was the final stage of matting. Once you had done that you received a scar on your shoulder, this scar would flash when you’re near the other person. Last night I finally reached stage three. I had been dying to get to that stage and I finally did. Thank the lord I was going crazy about it.

She replied quickly, ‘Aw, I’m sure your family isn’t that bad!’

If only she new.

Before I had a change to get up and tell dad I was leaving to go see Oakley, he spoke in Alpha tone.

“Ladies and Gentleman, please this is an order, No one leaves the area unless said so. Change into your wolf form right this moment. We have company.” He said to all.

Looking at father, I was shocked and surprised at his boldness. He wasn’t saying to us that we weren’t allowed to leave. He was demanding that we weren’t allowed to leave. Without thinking anymore I changed into my wolf and searched around for the intruders.

I sniffed around and could suddenly smell something unfamiliar. I looked up and saw a pack of wolves staring back at me.

“Change!” The leader of the pack growled.

“What are you doing on our land?” Father yelled.

“Don’t you yell at me. You are the one calling me saying you need help!” The pack growled again.

My head shot up, the Blake Pack.

This was the pack that swore to help me protect Oakley.

“Thank you for coming!” I spoke before dad could.

“You are Scott?” He asked.

I nodded.

“Change, we need to talk.” He said.

Running behind the tree and changing into a human I didn’t care what dad had to say about it.

Walking back to him, he was also in his human form.

I got a good look at him. He was older than I was, but only a few years. He had bags under his eyes; obviously being Alpha of a pack at such a young age was hard.

“Your mate is Oakley?” He asked me.

I nodded.

“What do you want me to do to help?” He asked getting serious start away.

“Wait, why are you helping me?”

“Oakley is unfortunate in this position. I feel sorry for her.”

“Again why are you helping? I asked. He still didn’t answer the question.

“I know the guy after her.”

“Who?” I almost growled.

“Don’t have me say the name. I swore that I wouldn’t.”

“Who is he?” I yelled.

“My brother!” He replied.
