It wasn't long before my "human" Ryder was gone and a brown wolf was replaced. He wasn't like any regular wolf. He was taller and most certainly, stronger.

When he said those words, I literally laughed so hard, my gut began to ache. He didn't seem so happy about my reaction, considering he was glaring at me, causing me to stop. "You were being serious?" I asked. He sighed before grabbing my hand and dragging me to my feet.

"I'll show you. Come with me." he said as he started to walk away. I put on my back pack and grabbed my board as I followed him outside to his truck. We got in and he immediately drove off, going the opposite direction of my house. We stopped in front of a familiar white mansion and I was soon dragged inside. We went straight through the house and towards the back door, gaining everyone's attention.

They all seemed to stare at me, making me feel a tiny bit self conscious. I noticed that all seemed to stare down at me as if they were some how better than me. It scared me in the slightest.

He let go of my hand when we reached the backyard and took a couple steps back. "Ryder, what are you doing?" I asked a little nervous. Ever since the day in the forest, I had my suspicions that he was different but I tried to just not think about it. Don't get me wrong, having a werewolf boyfriend would be the highlight of my day.

What scared me was the fact that he could be a monster. Just like humans, there are bad ones and there are good ones but with werewolves, they can be the cause of great bad or great good. I just didn't want to be dating a werewolf that was out to destroy the world.

"Showing you." he stated before the familiar sound of bones popping filled the air and his skin was being replaced with fur. It wasn't long before my 'human' Ryder was gone and a brown wolf replaced him. He wasn't like any regular wolf. He was taller and most certainly, stronger. He had this powerful aura about him that made me fear him.

I didn't faint this time. I just stood there and watched. I watched as he walked towards me and watched as he whined at me to say something. I didn't really have a reaction because I sort of already knew. I dropped to my knees and wrapped my arms around his neck, burying my face into his fur.

For some reason, the day in the forest didnt really seem real. It was like I was subconsciously trying to supress the memory. But i knew now that this was all real and I wasn't just dreaming.

"Please change back." I whispered. This was too much to take in and I just wanted my human Ryder. My eyes drifted closed as the fur against my skin turned into flesh. His arms wrapped around me as he pulled me into his lap until I was straddling him. I cupped his face with my small hands and lightly pecked his lips, my eyes still closed.

It took me a moment before I realized that he was completely naked, his clothes in shatters on the ground around us. My face immediately heated up as I moved my gaze away from him, trying my best not to look at his naked being. "What's wrong?" He asked, either not realizing he was naked or not realizing it wasn't normal for humans.

"You're naked," I replied, the heat from my face becoming unbearable as I was too scared to move off his lap.

"I'm so sorry!" He said before removing himself and running inside to change. When he returned, he was wearing a basic pair of shorts and a top. His lack of underwear made it very clear of his size through his shorts.

"Let's go inside. I have alot of explaining to do." He said as he swooped me up and carried me in his arms. I hugged his neck, my face buried in his chest, as he made his way through his house and into a bed room. He laid us down on a very comfy bed. I rested my back against the wall and kept my eyes on his face. We sat in an awkward silence before I decided to start asking questions.

"So.. were you like born a werewolf or did you, I don't know, get bit?" He lightly chuckled and turned his head to look at me.

"Werewolves are born, not made.. most of the time." he whispered the last part to himself but I still heard.

"What do you mean by most of the time?"

"If a wolf has a human mate and they become one, the mate will become a werewolf as well." He looked straight ahead the entire time he said that and I knew what that meant.

I sighed, "I'm your mate, aren't I?"

"Yep." I wanted to ask more questions but I was stuck on the fact that I could become a werewolf. The more I thought about it, the more I thought of all the benefits. I would finally be able to defend myself against Brad. "You're not mad, are you? I'm sorry. If you don't want to, it's okay. I understand." he said as he sat up and looked at me with sad eyes.

"No, I'm not mad." He looked relieved after I said that. "I'm actually a little excited about the whole thing. I will need some time to think about everything though" The smile that spread across his face was priceless but he nodded in understanding. "So tell me about this whole 'mate' thing"

"Well according to the our beliefs, you and I are soul mates, meant to be. I hate to admit it but you will probably be on the receiving end of this whole thing." I crossed my arms and glared at him. "You are too cute when you do that." He leaned in close and I could feel his breath on my mouth.

"I'm sorry if I wasn't what you wanted." I whispered out of no where. He looked suprised and I looked down at my lap. A guy like Ryder would never go for someone like me and I knew that, I wasn't stupid. We were two different people on two different levels. On top of that, I had only ever seen Ryder dating females, leaving me to believe he was expecting a woman as his mate. I couldn't image what he must have went through. Even though, he cupped my face in his large hands and made me look at him.

"Don't you ever say that. I may have been suprised that my mate was a guy but you are everything I would have hoped for. You are perfect in every way and I wouldn't change a thing about you." In that moment, I knew he was telling the truth. No one has ever said such a thing to me or made me feel such a way. I knew it was crazy but I was ready for whatever was going to happen and I was going to stay by his side at all times. I was a crazy teenager in love and I was ready to accept that. "I won't push you into something you don't want to do. I will try to hold back until you are ready."

"What to do you mean?"

He, awkwardly, rubbed the back of his neck. "The full moon is coming soon. My wolf will be in more control and I think it would be best to stay away from me at the time or I might accidentally rape you."

"Its not rape if I enjoy it." Even I was surprised with my words but his eyes grew dark with lust and moments later, he crashed our lips together. The fireworks reignited in my heart and the need for him returned. Was this what it meant to be a wolf's mate? Was this the reason behind my uncontrollable need to mate with him?

I pushed us back to lay on the bed but he was soon hovering over me again. He loved to dominate and I was completely okay with that. His hands roamed my body as he devoured my mouth. My skin burning everywhere he touched. My body just wished he would touch a certain part of mine.

His lips were strong and soft against mine and I found myself getting lost in the moment. I moaned softly, my fingers gripping his hair as his hands touched my skin, leaving a warm, tingling feeling.

He moved his mouth to my neck, kissing and lightly biting. My neck burned with a need, a want for him to do something. My hand pulled at his shirt and then at the hem of his shorts. I could see how hard he was and I wanted to know how he felt or what he tasted like.

Ryder passed for a moment, his heavy breathing in my ear. "Everything okay?" I asked, my hand stopping at top of his shorts. I didn't mean to push him into anything.

"Yes, I'm sorry. I'm just not used to being this intimate with another guy," he whispered in my ear. I nodded in understanding. I went to move my hand away but he forced it back and this time, on top of his bulge. He was definitely massive. "That doesn't mean I don't like it."

My own bulge grew as I began to massage him through his pants. "Should we be doing this, Ryder?" He seemed too lost in the moment to really register what I was asking. I could tell the power his wolf had over him as his eyes shined a brilliant yellow now.

"I want to make you mine," he growled lowly into my neck and he kissed and sucked with passion. I knew then it was my job to stop him before it was too late- again. I pushed away and crawled to the other side of the bed. Before anything else could happen, a knock sounded at the door. I jumped in response.

"Alpha?" Riley called out from the other side door before opening it.

"What do you want?" Ryder snapped, his wolf clearly in control and angry that someone interrupted his time with his mate. With a closed mouth smile, I grabbed one of the pillows next to me to cover my erection.

Riley chuckled at the sight of us. "I'm sorry to interrupt but we have a situation," he stated.
