‘I see Eli hasn’t exined anything yet, he’s probably still asleep Lucia says, she rolls her eyes and
hands me a te, pushing me towards the oven where there are pans full of cooked food.
‘Morning, Lucia goes over and kisses both of their cheeks, I assume they are her parents, ‘This is Ale
na, Eli’s mate, he took her from a camping trip with her friendst night in the woods, Lucia fills them in
and both of their mouths drop open.
Mate? We are not friends!
‘This ispletely your fault, I told you someone needed to keep an eye on him and look what he’s
done!’ The woman, who must be Lucia’s mother, hisses at the man, who I presume is Lucia’s father.
“How is it my fault that our son goes and kidnaps someone?’ The man asks, raising his hands in exas
peration
‘You’re the one that has raised him to be such a possessive, entitled Alpha, this is all because of your
gics and testosterone! Lucia would never do something like this! The woman shouts and Lucia
steps forward.
‘To be fair, Mum has a point, I would never do something like this, but can we have the family domestic
hold ing an empty te whilst everyone looks at me.
Oh God, Alena I’m so sorry about my son’s behavior, I’m Kate and that’s my husband, Sam, please
help yourself, you must be hungry, Kate says as shees over and puts her arm around my
shoulders.
Alena didn’t know about wolves until yesterday, Lucia fills them in and I hear Sam curse at the table.
Oh you poor thing, you must have been scared to death, Kate smiles at me and I can only stare at her
with wide eyes.
Td just like to go home please, my friends are going to be really worried, I tell them, and Kate’s eyes
soften.
‘I know honey, we’ll let you call themter and you can tell them you’re safe but seeing as you’ve just
found out about our kind and met my son, you should stay here for a while and limatize, she says,
and I feel a new wave of anger surge through me.
What is wrong with these people? They’re angry that their son kidnapped me, but they won’t let me go!
Just have something to eat, Kate begins serving food onto my te, rashers of bacon, mushrooms,
toast, everything
Lucia and I join her parents at the table, I nce up as I hear the front door open and I’m relieved to
see it is not Eli, but his brother, Tyler. He looks simr to Eli, he has the same blonde hair and tanned
skin, but his face is younger, and he is slightly smaller in stature.
He serves himself some food and takes a seat at the table, no one says anything for a moment as he

just concentrates on inhaling his food.
“Where’s Eli? Did you two manage to talk it out?’ Lucia asks and Kate frowns in confusion.
“He’s justing, yeah we spoke, he apologized, Tyler replies, he looks up at me and his eyes soften.
I’m really sorry about what happenedst night, Eli regrets it, he tells me, and I can only nod as I watch
him with wide eyes.

‘What happened?’ Kate directs the question at Lucia, and she sighs heavily.
‘Eli and Tyler had a little disagreement, it’s fine mum, she exins, and Kate gives her a look that
trantes into tell me everythingter’.
I remain silent as I sit at the table, it looks like we’re some weird surrogate family or something. Just
when I thought things couldn’t be more ufortable, Eli bursts into the kitchen, wearing nothing but
sweats, revealing his delicious muscr chest and arms. His eyesnd on me and he visibly rxes,
he grabs a te and serves himself with twice as much food as is on my own. He sits down opposite
me; 1 keep my eyes on my food even though I can feel him looking at me.
I don’t say a word as his parents’unch into a massive lecture about how he can’t go around kidnap
ping poor, innocent, human girls. I only start to listen when he tries to defend himself, eager to know
what excuse he will use.
‘You don’t understand, I couldn’t not take her, her pull was too strong, heins, his voice is an
noyed. I frown and wonder what my ‘pull’ is, I certainly wasn’t pulling him.
‘He’s been going through a rough time Kate, at least now he’ll be happy. Sam says and Kate rolls her
eyes.
‘I think you should try and exin all of this to Alena today, she might understand a little better if you
exin yourself, Kate suggests and I want to hit her.
Thest thing I want is more alone time with my sexy kidnapper.
Come on, I’ll show you how to use the shower, she’ll be ready in fifteen minutes Eli, Lucia says, I thank
them for breakfast although they don’t really deserve it, seeing as they won’t let me go
SO
I clean my teeth and have a shower, feeling like apletely different person when I ste and smelling
like pomegranates instead of the forest. I change into a vest and a pair of shorts from my backpack,
intended for the hike home today. I’m irritated when I find my phone has been taken out of my bag, how
can they take my phone but deny being kidnappers?
I reluctantly head downstairs, Tyler and Lucia have gone out on ‘patrol’, and I already miss thefort
of having a girl my age with me. I find Eli waiting for me by the front door. He has put on a t-shirt, but it
hardly makes a difference because it is tight enough for me to see every ridge of every muscle.
Fantastic, that should make it easier to concentrate.
‘I thought I’d give you a tour of the pack, he says, I nod silently, and we step out into the morning sun.
I don’t say a word as he walks me around the pack, showing me the houses and different buildings. I
only saw part of itst night, this ce is huge. We stop and sit down on a bench; I shuffle as far away
as possible from him and wrap my arms around myself.
‘So, what do you want to know?’ He asks and I narrow my eyes at him.
‘Why you decided to kidnap me and ruin my life, I reply bitterly, and he winces and sighs heavily.
‘I haven’t ruined your life, or at least I hope not. Basically, each one of us is born with a soul mate,
someone they are destined to be with, you don’t get to pick them, and you are mine, although if I could
choose, I would still choose you, you’re perfect, he tells me, I blush as I take in his words.
“How do you know that I am your mate?’ I ask him, I can barely make eye contact, I feel so
embarrassed as he smiles at me.
