《Luna's Forbidden Love》


 Chapter 1

    Chapter 1


    Book 1: Chapter 1


    Iughed to myself as I flicked to the next episode. I''d watch the entire first series of the show that day alone, but I decided that it was perfect time to start the


    second series ¨C at three am, on a Sunday night when I had a geometry test in the morning. But, what can I say, I''m addicted to TV.


    I must have fallen asleep during the next episode, as when I woke up to the rm myptop had died and I was sleeping with my head in the bowl of popcorn.


    I groaned in disgust, and slight pride, at myself before climbing out of bed. I tripped over an empty bottle of c, cussing like a sailor as I did so. Turning back,


    I gave the bottle of c the middle finger ¨C as if it was purposefully in the way.


    A deep voice suddenly cut through the house. "May, you better get your ass out of bed--"


    "I''m out of bed" I screamed, cutting off my asshole of a brother.


    "I''m leaving the house in fifteen minutes, if you''re not down I will leave with your stupid ass behind".


    "Dick" I muttered under my breath, before I quickly showered and ran a brush through my hair. I quickly pulled on a pair of old, tattered, jeans before pulling on


    an old ck Guns N Roses shirt. My dark hair was still wet and curling, so shoved it up messily before pulling my red baseball cap on. I didn''t really give a shit


    what I looked like, it was school I could care less.

    I dove into my brother''s car, seconds before he drove away, with my school back pack and skateboard on myp. "You''rete" my brother growled.


    "Chill out man, you''re going to have a coronary if you''re not careful" I snorted at him. My brother didn''t reply, but I could feel his eyes ring holes into my skin.


    I nced up at him and gave him a mocking smile. His dark eyes just narrowed before turning back to face the road.


    Rnd was two years older than me and he was aplete tool. He was tall and attractive, with dark hair and eyes. However, unlike myself, he was confident


    and popr. Rnd could click his fingers and have both girls and boys falling over themselves to please him. But, then, my brother was the future Beta of the


    pack.


    I was born a Werewolf, as was my brother, as we came from a long bloodline of Wolves. My father was the current Beta ¨C the second inmand ¨C of the


    Vernal Pack. We were an averagely sized Pack with average strength, but a Beta was still strong and well respected. Not as strong and well respected as an


    Alpha; because, well, an Alpha was an Alpha.


    "Climb in the back" Rnd ordered me, as we came to a stop outside one of his girlfriend''s house. I say ''one of'' because he had a different one every damn


    week. I rolled my eyes at my brother, before quickly climbed into the back of his car.


    My brother and I did not get on ¨C we were pr ends of the spectrum and I wasn''t sure we''d ever get on. But he tolerated driving me to and from school,


    because my father told him to and he did as my father said. Period.


    "Baby" a ridiculously pretty girl squealed, as she climbed into the car. I was instantly jealous of how beautiful she was; especially since I was as in as muck.


    Her blonde hair was straight down her back, and she wore a tight pink blouse tucked into her white skirt with matching white stilettos. I didn''t know how she


    could wear heels to school ¨C I tripped over in my fucking sneakers.


    The girl instantly leaned over and kissed my brother. They made out for a few minutes, and I looked anywhere else as I tried to keep myself from retching in


    disgust. When they finally pulled their lips away from each other, the girl turned and saw me. "Who''s this?" she turned her nose up at me.


    "This is my little sister. Ignore her" my asshole of a brother said.


    "Dick" I muttered under my breath.


    "What was that?" my brother snapped at me.


    "I said we''re going to bete" I replied with a sigh. My brother didn''t say anything, just pulled away from the curb. Rnd and his girlfriend ¨C who I found out


    was called Denise ¨C chatted and flirted the entire way to school.


    When we got there, I dived out of the car quickly. I threw my skateboard on the floor and hopped on it. I stuck my headphone in as I skated through the parking


    lot. I sted some heavy rock as I skated around people and into the school.


    "Miss Throne, off that board inside" one of the teachers shouted at me. I rolled my eyes, as I jumped off my board and picked it up.


    "Witch" I grumbled to myself, as I made my way to homeroom.


    I stayedte after school for ser club, before my mother picked me up. "You look a mess" my mother told me instantly.


    "I''ve been ying ser, what did you expect me to look like?" I retorted sarcastically.


    "Yes but you look like you''ve been rolling around in the mud" she frowned. My mother was something I wasn''t ¨C stunningly beautiful. Her dark hair was short


    and cropped, which matched with her golden Latin skin made her look youthful and striking. I was hoping I had ugly duckling syndrome and soon I would


    blossom; but I''d been saying that for sixteen years and it hadn''t happened yet.


    "Don''t forget we have Equinox Alpha visiting tomorrow" my mother reminded me, when we got home. "So make sure youe straight home after school".


    "Maybe I should just skip the entire day and help you and dad prepare?" I smiled.


    "Nice try, Mabel, but it''s not happening" she gave me a look. I hated when she used my real name. I hated the name Mabel with a passion ¨C it had been my


    grandmother''s name and honestly it should have died along with the crazy old bitch. But, no, it was legacy to be named after her. I went by May because at


    least it was an averagely alright, unlike Mabel.


    "Damn" I grumbled.


    "And don''t forget we have a pack meeting in an hour" my mother called after me.


    "Damn" I repeated.


    I chilled out for an hour, before my mother came and got me. She red at me for not dressing up ¨C but it was only the Alpha, I''d known the guy since I was


    born he didn''t need me to dress up.


    I was pretty sure my mother was disappointed about how I had turned out ¨C I was a tomboy with an attitude problem who only cared about archery, ser and


    skateboarding. She had always wanted a girl who she could take shopping and talk about boys and crushes with, but that just wasn''t me. I would rather be


    shooting arrows into targets than shopping at target. Don''t get me wrong, she loved me, but she was secretly upset I was so different to her.


    "May" a voice called to me. I turned to see my friends waving me over. The only friends that I had didn''t go to my school, which sucked, but at least I got to


    hang out with them after school.


    Dom, Jared and Chris were hanging around at the back of the forest clearing. I said goodbye to my mother before rushing over to them. "What''s up?" I asked


    them.


    "Not much we''re hitting the skate park after this, you game?" Chris asked me.


    "I wish" I snorted, "that other Alpha ising tomorrow so my mother is freaking out about nothing. I''m sure she''ll drag me off after this to prep or some other


    bullshit".


    "Bummer dude" Jared grumbled. I loved my friends, because they didn''t care I was a girl or that I was the Beta''s daughter ¨C I was just May and that was cool.


    "Hey I saw your brother at the mall early with another girl again" Chrisughed.


    "Yep another week, and another girl" I mused.


    "She was hot though" Chris added.


    "Aren''t they always?" Dom threw in.


    "Of course he''s the future Beta, he could never be seen with anyone who didn''t have a giant stick up their tight assholes" Imented.


    "Mabel" a voice boomed out. I cringed as I turned to see my father not far behind me. He stormed over to me, and my friends instantly moved a few steps


    away from me. "You will not speak about your brother that way and you will not use that sort ofnguage again. Do you understand me, youngdy?" he


    scowled me.


    People in the pack, who were gathering for the meeting, nced over at the Beta telling his delinquent daughter off. I frowned as I looked at the ground, I


    scuffed my sneaker in the dirt as I blushed slightly in embarrassment. "Mabel" my father prompted.


    "I''m sorry" I muttered out, feeling stupid and like a small child.


    "Come, you''ll stand at the front with me" my father snapped. Taking my arm he pulled me through the clearing and to the patio that led of the Alpha''s house. I


    silentlyined in my mind, as he dragged me to the front.


    My father was strict but I was his little girl, so he was also protective. So I was used to getting in trouble with him ¨C but he could never stay angry at me for


    long. Unlike my brother who he could stay mad at for days on end.


    My mother and brother quickly joined us. My father smiled at my mother, before kissing her lips softly. I looked at them and wondered how the hell I was their


    daughter. My mother was beautiful and my father was handsome and strong. Yet I stood there, like the fucking runt of the family.


    I didn''t care much about looks, in the grand scheme of things, but as some of the girls that were my age were beginning to find their mates, I was beginning to


    think that maybe I should be concerned. Most of the She-Wolves my age were making sure they were always groomed and perfectly made up, for when they


    ran into their mates. So I almost felt self-conscious about the fact I didn''t care so much.


    Yet, asionally, I would stand with my family ¨C who all looked like they had just stepped out of a magazine ¨C and felt like I didn''t really fit in. For some reason,


    I just didn''t inherit the looks of my family. I''d worked that out at a young age, so I had made peace with it but I hated standing with them as everyone else


    seemed to notice it.


    Luckily, the Alpha and his wife arrived and it quickly turned into a Pack meeting. Alpha Parker was a nice man, around my father''s age, with soft greying hair


    and deep set ck eyes. I hated him, hated him with every fibre of my being ¨C because he took away my dream. He took away everything I had worked for.


    The Alpha''s son, David, was a little younger than me. He was being home schooled, as he was being trained to be Alpha, so I didn''t see him often. But I


    didn''t mind him really but I minded the fact that my mother kept hinting she thought the two of us were mates.


    Werewolves Shift in their teenage years. I hadn''t Shifted yet ¨C it wasn''t umon to not have Shifted yet, but my brother and my parents had both Shifted in


    their early teens. Yet, I was sixteen and still hadn''t Shifted. Once more, I was the runt of the family.


    David hadn''t Shifted yet either, but could at any day now, and my mother was sure the two of us were mates. Alpha''s mates were only ever daughters of other


    Alpha''s or of Beta''s ¨C so ording to that, my mother was obsessed with the fact that I would one day be the pack''s Luna. I couldn''t think of anything worse.


    David smiled at me as he moved to stand next to me. I returned his smile, while his father began to talk about the uing visit from an Alpha of a different


    Pack. Alpha Seth Zev was the Alpha of the Equinox Pack, which was thergest Pack in the country. Alpha Zev wanted support from our Alpha in the current


    War he was fighting ¨C I was pretty sure that we wouldn''t support him. We were a peaceful Pack, we tried to stay out of fights.


    But, everyone was on edge in the Pack. Wars between Wolf Packs were rare, but when they urred they were drastic. They could cause death and


    destruction in all the packs if the war was big enough. And with the way I had heard my father talk about the uing war, I was pretty sure this one would be


    catastrophic. I didn''t even know what it was about over ¨C I struggled with listening to things I didn''t care about.


    "Alpha Zev will arrive tomorrow evening" Alpha Parker told the Pack, "I know it is ufortable for everyone, having unknown Wolves in the Pack. But he is


    way things are going, we''re not going to have a choice but to join".


    Chatter ran through the Pack ¨C both nervous and excited. Nervous because it was a war, excited because it was a war. Werewolves were funny like that;


    terrified of death because they were so proud but excited to kill and fight others for the sake of pride. I didn''t understand it myself.


    "However, I will not decide anything without consulting Howard, Joel and Kelly first" Alpha Parker exined ¨C talking about my father, the third inmand and


    the current Luna. "But, regarding this visit, I expect everyone to be in their homes by eight o''clock this evening, unless you are on patrol, working in the


    dungeons or have spoken to me previously and I have given permission to be excused from curfew. But, as of tonight, there is an entire Pack wide curfew of


    eight and anyone found breaking that will face consequences".


    There was a moment of silence, as the Pack shared worried looks. "That is all for tonight. I expect you all in your house by eight tonight. You''re dismissed".

    Chapter 2


    Book 1: Chapter 2


    My parents had to stay behind to talk to the Alpha, and my brother disappeared to do god knows what, so I decided I had enough time for a quick visit to the


    skatepark. "Hey losers, we going skating or what?" I asked my friends.


    Dom, Jared and Chris all turned to face me. "You heard the Alpha, May, we have a curfew now" Dom frowned.


    "Don''t be a pussy, Dom" I rolled my eyes at him, the other boysughed at me.


    "Hey, I''m not a pussy" Dom snapped back, "but some of us aren''t the Beta''s daughter".


    "That just means she''s going to get in more trouble, not less idiot" Chris hit back. I pumped my fist with Chris, as weughed at Dom. Dom turned almost as


    red as his hair, as he narrowed his eyes at us.


    "Fine, let''s go. But I''m not going for long" he finally caved. The boys and Iughed at him, before heading towards the skatepark. Jared had a spare board in


    his car, like always, so we stopped by his car first so I could grab it. We then made the ten minute walk over to the nearest skatepark.


    "Oh no, looks whose here" Jaredmented, nodding to a group of other teenagers hanging out on one of the ramps.


    I groaned, "great, just what I need". Sitting on one of the ramps was three older boys that went to my school who''d bullied my friends and I since we were


    about twelve. I got the brunt of their teasing as they went to my school and I was the only girl. I couldn''t wait until someone in my friends group Shifted and


    could beat their asses once and for all, but until then we couldn''t do shit.


    "Ah look who it is, Marty" the main asshole, Todd, snorted when he noticed us. They all walked over to us. Todd and Marty were twin brothers ¨C equally as


    mean as they were ugly. They hung around with two other guys, Mac and Josh.


    "It''s the bum fun gang" Martyughed with his brother and friends.


    "The guys all stick their dicks up each other''s ass''s while they''re dyke friend watches" Josh jaunted at us. My fists clenched at my side, but I didn''t say anything


    ¨C I was sick of getting my ass beat by these dickheads. I thought about telling my parents once, but quickly changed my mind after my brother had seen the


    guys harassing me andughed along with them.


    I would just have to wait until I Shifted and could beat the shit out of them on my own.


    "We just came to skate" Jared muttered in annoyance. I nced at my friends, and I had to agree we were all losers. We were misfits in the greatest respects


    ¨C obsessed withic books, sci fi tv shows and we pretty much all got good grades...well except me. But even though we were all Werewolves, we were


    pretty much the definition of losers. So no one was ever shocked to find out we were all bullied.


    "What did you say four-eyes?" Todd demanded, giving Jared a little shove backwards. I took a calming breath as I thought how to get out of this situation. I just


    wanted to leave without getting beaten up. But I didn''t think there was much chance of that.


    "Don''t call him that" Dom snapped.


    "Shut it, nerd" Marty said, shoving Dom to the floor. As Dom fell, he dropped his phone and it smashed on the ground. He shouted in upset as he grabbed it to


    see the screenpletely shattered. His eyes watered as Todd and the othersughed at him. Dom''s parents refused to buy him a phone, so he''d worked part


    time for six months in a fast food restaurant to be able to afford his own phone. He tried to turn it on but it didn''t work.


    "You broke my phone" Dom whispered, tears falling from his eyes.


    "Oh fuck" I whispered under my breath, knowing shit was about to go down.


    "What you going to do about it, nerd?" Todd jeered.


    "Look we don''t want any problems, we''ll go" I said, hoping to diffuse the situation.


    "You broke my fucking phone" Dom shouted, between his tears. Chris and I exchanged a look, as Jared looked around trying to see if there was anyone


    around to help us. But, we weren''t that lucky.


    One second we were all standing there, the next the assholes attacked us. My head hit the concrete ground, when one of them pushed me over. They didn''t


    care I was a girl, they''d happily beat me up. I tried to push Mac off me, as he held me to the ground, but it was pointless. I was extremely strong for my size but


    that did nothing once I was already pinned.


    He smiled sadistically at me, before punching me straight in the face. I screamed in pain as my cheek throbbed. I instantly began to cry. I hated crying, but I


    also hated feeling so pathetic and small. I just wanted to have a fair fight for once, but until I Shifted that was never going to happen against the four dickheads


    who were the school football stars.


    Iy on the ground, crying like a pathetic kid, as I heard the noises of pain from my friends. I pulled myself into a foetal position as I cried, trying to at least


    protect myself. But the fight didn''tst for long, and soon the bullies all ran offughing.


    Chris was the only one who didn''t cry, he was strongest and bravest out of our friendship group ¨C not that that said a lot really. Dom was still crying over his


    phone, his nose bleeding slightly as Jared''s eyes watered as he looked over his broken sses.


    "You okay May?" Chris asked me, kneeling down beside me. I sniffed, wiping my eyes, as he helped me to my feet.


    "I want to go home" I whispered, feeling both my face and my ego bruising. Chris gave my hand a squeeze, before walking over to Dom and Jared. He helped


    them up and the four of us walked back to the Pack silently. "I can''t wait until I can Shift, then I''m going to beat the shit out of those motherfuckers" I growled


    out, once Jared and Dom had gone home. Chris and I lived on the other side of the Pack, so we walked back together.


    Chris was my closet friend ¨C I loved Jared and Dom, but Chris and I had been friends for a lot longer. We''d originally gone to school together, but then my


    parents moved me to the other school close to the Pack, as it had a better sports programme.


    "Yeah but if we go back and beat them up, then we''ll be just as bad as they are" Chris replied. I looked up at him and frowned. His blonde hair was swept back


    and his green eyes shone. As a kid I always hoped I would Shift and find out that Chris was my mate, but after being friends for so long, I quickly backtracked


    on that. He was my best friend and more like a brother than a boyfriend.


    "Yeah but it would feel damn good to beat the shit out of them just once" I argued.


    Chris chuckled softly, "yeah I guess so".


    We reached my house first and we both came to a stop. "What are you going to tell your parents about that bruiseing?" Chris asked, cing his finger


    gently on my cheek bone and grimacing. I shrugged out of his touch and pulled my baseball cap further down. "That''s not going to work, May" he frowned.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    "I''ll just tell them I fell off my board. It''s worked every other time" I shrugged.


    Chris sighed, but nodded. "Yeah. I''ll see you tomorrow?"


    "Depends on this whole Alpha Zev bullshit. My parents are really obsessing over it" I rolled my eyes. I nced at my watch, "you''ve got ten minutes to get


    home before curfew. I''ll see youter".


    "Sure, bye May". He gave me a small wave, before made a move to walk away.


    "Hey Chris" I called after him. He turned back to me with an eyebrow raised in questioned. "What do you think about this war thing?"


    "I''m nervous. A war this big has probably never happened before. When we join ¨C when not if ¨C I''m probably going to have to fight. By the time the battle


    begins, I should have Shifted. I''m all over the ce at the moment, I don''t think my Shift is far away".


    "I want to join the war" I admitted.


    "A lot of people are going to die in this war, May, you know that right?"


    "I know...but I don''t really feel much like a normal Wolftely. My father said the atmosphere of a war will be so violent, it might bring a lot of the young Wolves


    Shift''s out".


    "Really?" Chris asked in shock.


    "Apparently the instinct to protect ourselves will bring out the Shift quickly. A self-preservation sort of thing" I exined. "I want to be part of the war so I might


    finally Shift".


    "Don''t worry, May, you''ll Shift when your good and ready" Chris replied with a wink.

    Book 1: Chapter 3


    My mother screamed ¨C she actually screamed! I mean I knew I looked horrible, but really that was a bit dramatic. I rolled my eyes at her as I sat down at the


    dinner table. I''d woken upte, so my mother didn''t see me before school, so it wasn''t until we sat down for dinner ¨C a few hours after the visiting Alpha had


    arrived ¨C that she saw the bruise on my face.


    "Mabel Elizabeth Thorne. What the hell happened to your face?" she screeched.


    "I fell" I shrugged.


    "Off that damn skateboard I bet" she growled angrily. I simply shrugged, not wanting to tell her that I''d actually been beat up. "Alpha Zev and several of his men


    Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    are in the territory as we speak. We are supposed to be going around to the Alpha''s house in an hour, for goodness sake Mabel".


    "Then just leave me here" I offered.


    "I don''t think so. We''ll just try and cover it up with makeup".


    "Ew no thanks" I turned my nose up, "I don''t want that orange shit all over my face".


    "Mabel" she shook her head, "why can''t you just be a normal sixteen year old for once?"


    "Geez thanks, love you too" I muttered in annoyance.


    "If you''re not going to let me put makeup on you, please at least wear your hair down" she said. I rolled my eyes as we began to eat dinner. Everyone talked as


    we ate but I silently thought of ways to get out of going to see this other random Alpha. I couldn''t think of any good excuse.


    "Right, Mabel, go get changed" my mother said, as we cleared away the tes.


    "I''m changed" I replied. Once more I thought my mother was going to pass out. She opened her mouth, closed her mouth, opened her mouth once more,


    before turning to my father for help. I hated when they ganged up on me.


    "Darling, just put something a bit neater on. You know what Alphas are like" my father said for her.


    "You mean, you know what mothers are like" I grumbled under my breath.


    "What was that?" he narrowed his eyes.


    "I''ll go change now" I sighed, slipping out the kitchen. Back inside my room, I looked in the mirror and sighed heavily. I wore a pair of ripped jeans, a white shirt,


    and some Nike sneakers. My hair was pulled back and the ugly purple and yellow bruise ran up the left side of my face.


    In annoyance, I changed into a pair of ck skinny jeans ¨C the only pair without rips in them ¨C before pulling on a tight red shirt and my newest leather jacket. I


    then pulled some different sneakers on.


    Frowning at myself in the mirror, I took my hair out of the ponytail. My dark curls fell around my face, and to my mid-back, looking crazy and unruly. I didn''t dare


    take a hairbrush to it ¨C it would just make it look like a lion''s mane. So I grabbed some hair mouse, dabbed a bit on my hand, before running it through my hair.


    It calmed it slightly, but it was still just a curly mess but at least it now looked like it was supposed to be a curly mess.


    "Well it ain''t going to get any better than this" I muttered to my reflection. My face was a small love heart shape, withrge round eyes and small features.


    Freckles spread over practically every part of my face ¨C I hated those damn freckles. Even with my dark Latin skin, the freckles still stuck out. I was cute but in


    a twelve year old sort of way.


    "May hurry the fuck up" Rnd shouted at me.


    "Watch yournguage Ro" my father hollered back at him. Rolling my eyes, I turned away from my reflections and headed out my room. I walked with my


    family to the Alpha''s house, trailing slightly behind them as they chatted about something. "Mabel, keep up" my father snapped.


    When we reached the Alpha''s house, Alpha Parker invited my parents into his office where he was having a drink with Alpha Zev and his Beta. "Darling, why


    don''t you go hang out with David" my mother suggested. I rolled my eyes, hating that she was still trying to convince herself that I was going to be David''s


    mate.


    They disappeared into the study and I rolled my eyes when I was left alone. "Hey Mabel" David said, as he came down the stairs.


    "My name is May" I corrected him. He nodded before walking into the lounge, I reluctantly followed him. Inside was three Wolves I didn''t know. David smiled at


    them as he sat down in the lounge. The three men were obviously from the Equinox Pack.


    "Hey kid is this your girlfriend?" one of them asked, smiling in my direction.


    "No" I snorted.


    "May is the Beta''s daughter" David exined. "But we''re probably going to be mates. We''ll see when we Shift" he shrugged.


    "Unlikely dick" I muttered under my breath.


    "What?" David asked.


    "I want a drink" I said allowed, and I saw the three men smirking as they''d actually heard what I said. "I''m going to get a drink". Turning my back to David and


    three unknown Wolves, I headed into the kitchen.


    As I stood there in the kitchen, I nced out the window. Outside on the porch stood a man on his phone. He was beautiful ¨C there was no other words to


    describe him. He was tall with dark hair and bright blue eyes. Hisrge arms bulged out of his tight ck t-shirt and his blue jeans hung low on his lips. He was


    I''d never had a crush before, but I had one right then.


    "That''s Seth" a voice behind me said. I screamed in shock as I spun around, turning away from the hot man, and to one of the unknown Wolves.


    "I...um...what?" I asked, blushing as red as a tomato. The Wolf smirked at me in amusement. His ash coloured hair was pulled back in a small bun at the back


    of his head, as his golden skin shone. He was attractive but nothingpared with the guy outside.


    "I said that guy you were eye raping is called Seth" he teased. "He''s my Alpha".


    "That''s Alpha Zev?" I asked in shock.


    "Yep, that''s him" heughed. I nced back out the window, but he was gone. The unknown Wolfughed at me again. "He''s a bit old for you kid". He messed


    up my hair, causing me to re at him, before he opened the fridge and had a look inside. "You want a coke?"


    "Sure" I shrugged. He pulled out a second can and handed it to me, before kicking the fridge shut. "What''s your name?"


    "Dean" he smiled, "I''m the third inmand".


    "Cool" I muttered.


    "You don''t really find that cool do you?" he smirked at me, hearing my sarcasm even though I didn''t actually say it sarcastically.


    "No I don''t really give a shit" I told him bluntly. He spluttered augh at me.


    "You got badnguage kid, I dig that" Dean winked at me. I just gave me a look before walking past him. He followed me back into the lounge, where I sat


    down next to David. "Right kid, this is Jenson and Ollie" Dean introduced me to the other Wolves ¨C Jenson a blonde with nice eyes and Ollie a dark skinned


    man who was very attractive. Not as attractive as his Alpha, but pretty attractive.


    "Guys this is May. She''s a mouthy kid who has a thing for Seth".


    "I do not have ''a thing'' for your Alpha" I snapped at Dean, as I blushed and the menughed at me.


    "So why else were you staring at him like a stalker?" he mused. I knew he was trying to get a rise out of me, but I was embarrassed so I rose to the bait.


    "Because I saw a strange Wolf in my territory and I was curious who he was" I snapped back ¨C a tant lie.


    "Sure" Deanmented sarcastically.


    "Mabel" David began and I rolled my eyes.


    "May" I corrected him through gritted teeth. "My name is fucking May". At mynguage, Jenson and Ollie raised their eyebrows in shock ¨C Dean justughed in


    amusement.


    "Well it''s not" David retorted, "your name is Mabel, you just like to go by May".


    "David, shut up" I rolled my eyes at him. I didn''t understand why the fourteen year old future Alpha annoyed me so much, but there was just something about


    him.


    "Mabel" a familiar voice boomed. "I will not tolerate thatnguage" my father snapped. With my back to him I rolled my eyes, before turning back and smiling


    softly at him.


    "Sorry Dad" I simply said. I stood up, as everyone else in the room did, when I noticed that my parents hade in with everyone else. Among the other


    people were two more unknown Wolves ¨C well one of them was known to me because I had seen him outside.


    Alpha Seth Zev was even better in person; with both strength and dominance. His bright blue eyes looked over the room before theynded on me. I blushed


    slightly as he caught me staring at him. But he didn''t instantly look away, instead he looked me up and down ¨C checking me out I realised.


    Alpha Parker opened his mouth to say something but Alpha Zev interrupted him. A growl ripped through the room as he looked at me. "Mate" he snapped, and


    everyone in the room gasped in shock.

 Chapter 4

    Chapter 4


    Book 1: Chapter 4


    My father was the first to the break the silence, by turning to Alpha Zev ¨C to Seth ¨C who imed I was his mate. "You are mistaken" my father growled in fury.


    Seth narrowed his eyes at my father, "I am not mistaken. She is mine".


    "She is a child" my father argued. Seth looked back over at me, looking me over once more before he seemed to grasp what my father was saying.


    "Damn, how old are you?" he asked me, seeming to snap out of his protectiveness. I opened my mouth to answer but my father beat me to it.


    "She is sixteen. She hasn''t even Shifted yet" he snapped. "There is no way she is your mate. You''re old enough to be her father".


    Seth snorted, "not quite. But, yes, I see your point". He sighed heavily, running a hand down his face looking stressed. I wasn''t really sure how to take the


    entire situation. I hadn''t Shifted, so I didn''t feel the mating bond yet. But I was extremely attracted to Seth, extremely.


    "Perhaps I made a mistake" Seth said, looking at me again. "She is too young to be my mate".


    "You don''t make a mistake about the mate bond" Dean shrugged. "She''s obviously your mate dude".


    "There is a fourteen year ago gap" Alpha Peters frowned, "has anyone ever heard of an age gap that big between mates before?" No one said anything as I bit


    the inside of my cheek ¨C not sure what to say. It shocked me that Seth was thirty, I mean that seemed pretty old to me.


    "Mates are supposed to be simr ages. This is not right" Seth growled angrily.


    I frowned in annoyance, "you don''t want me as a mate?" The question came out before I could stop it. Seth looked at me, his blue eyes cold and guarded.


    "I''d rather not have a child for a mate" he snapped at me. I was taken back slightly by his hostility towards me.


    "Dude, chill out" Dean spoke up. "It''s not her fault there is such an age gap".


    "This is wrong" Seth roared, throwing his hands up in anguish. At his anger and dominance, a lot of the Wolves stood up straighter and became more alert. In


    all the mate business I had forgotten that Seth was one of the strongest Alpha''s in the country ¨C it was understandable he was feared. "This is so fucking


    wrong" Seth snapped.


    "Damn right it is" my father agreed.


    "I need some space to think" Seth began.


    "I--" I began, not sure what I was actually going to say. But it didn''t matter, Seth cut me off before I got more than one word out.


    "Away from you goddammit" he growled, eyes glowing menacingly at me. Instantly my eyes began to water as he spun on his heels and stormed away from


    me. A few secondster the front door mmed. There was a moment of stillness between everyone. Then the only Wolf I hadn''t been introduced to in the


    room, turned to Dean.


    "He might listen to you. Go after him" he told the third inmand.


    "Will do boss" he walked past me and gave me a wink. "See youter kid".


    I wiped my eyes with the back of my hand, feeling pathetic as everyone else just looked at me. It was my mother who finally broke the silence. Moving over to


    me, she put her arm around me. "Howard, I''m taking her home" she told my father. My father nodded in agreement.


    Feeling too confused and upset, I let my mother tow me out the house. I was sniffing, trying not to cry, the entire walk home. My mother had her arm over my


    shoulders as we walked in silence, but it didn''t make me feel any better.


    "Here, sit down, honey" my mother said, when we got home.


    "I think I just want to go to bed" I told her.


    "But Mabel--"


    "I need to think" I snapped at her, cutting her off. My voice broke slightly as I tried to control my emotions. I wasn''t even sure what I felt really ¨C but I felt


    rejected more than anything.


    Not letting my mother argue, I turned away from her and rushed up the stairs. Inside my bedroom I locked the door, before leaning against it. I stood there for a


    moment before sliding down the back of it. I couldn''t make sense of anything ¨C my mate was the Alpha of the biggest Pack in country, but he didn''t want me.


    Seth was incredibly attractive and I was sure he had girls falling over him all day. It shouldn''t have been a shock that he didn''t want me as a mate ¨C not only


    was I a rude teenager, I wasn''t even a pretty rude teenager. I looked like I was twelve and the guy was thirty. I shouldn''t have been surprised he didn''t want


    me.


    But I felt like I had just been sucker punched. I hadn''t given the idea of finding my mate so young a lot of thought, but when I did think about it I was older and


    my mate didn''t care what I looked at. My mate should have loved me for me, not caring that I wasn''t as pretty as most She-Wolves.


    Seth shouldn''t have cared about my age or my looks. But he did.


    I sat with my back to the door for about an hour, just thinking about everything that had gone down in the five minute''s I''d been inside the Alpha''s house. It was


    a farce how quickly everything had happened. Seth saw me and within seconds he wanted to reject me.


    A little voice in my head told me that he hadn''t rejected me and maybe he was going to run back to me and apologise, and tell me that my looks didn''t matter


    and my age didn''t matter because I was his mate.


    Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    But he didn''te running back.


    I showered, having a small pity cry to myself, before climbing into my bed. Resting my head on the pillow, I wondered if there was anything I should have done


    differently when meeting Seth. But then I knew that it didn''t really matter ¨C our rtionship was doomed the moment he saw me. To him, I was just a kid. And


    he had a Pack to run, a War to fight and real life responsibilities, while I spent my days trying to avoid bullies and getting annoyed when ser practice got


    cancelled. I was just a kid, and he was a very powerful Alpha.


    I must have fallen asleep at some point, but when I woke up Seth was still not awaiting me. I climbed out of bed, my curly hair sticking up in every damn


    direction. "May, you in there?" a voice called out, a soft knock on the door.


    I unlocked my door and looked up to see Dean ¨C Seth''s third inmand. "Did I wake you up?" he asked, ncing at me with a smirk. I wore a pair of old


    batman pyjama pants with holes in them, with a ck tank top, and my hair still looked like I had been electrified.


    "Yeah. What do you want?" I sighed, my voice hoarse from waking and crying the night before.


    "Came to see if you were alright" he shrugged, smiling softly at me. I narrowed my eyes in annoyance, trying to brush my hair down.


    "My parents let you in?" I asked in shock.


    "No, your father refused to let me in. So I waited until everyone had left before climbing in the window" he grinned brightly. I looked at him, trying to gage if he


    was lying or not. When I realised he wasn''t, I was both shocked he''d broken in but more shocked that my parents were letting me have the day off school.


    "I''m fine. Go away". I took a step back, getting ready to push the door shut. His hand snapped out look and stopped the door. I tried to push against him but he


    just looked at me sarcastically.


    "I have super strength, kid, and you''re wearing batman pants" he smirked.


    "Go away Dean. I don''t want you here" I snapped at him. I dropped my hand from my bedroom door and he instantly sobered up.


    "I''m sorry about how Seth acted yesterday. He was just shocked is all, you have to understand that he''s thirty and you''re still a kid. He wasn''t expecting it" he


    exined.


    "Uh-huh, and why isn''t he here exining himself?" I demanded.


    "He wants to but--"


    "Oh bullshit" I cut him off, rolling my eyes at him. "He''s the Alpha of the biggest pack in the country, if he wanted to be here then he would. He doesn''t want me


    as a mate".


    "No he does want you as a mate, but he...um...he is..."


    "Please go away, Dean. You''re making me feel worse" I told him. He stopped the door before I could close it again.


    "Look just get dressed and let me take you to him. No matter what happens you need to at least speak to him" he told me, his eyes looking at me seriously.


    Running my hand down my face, cringing as I touched my bruised face, I thought over it all.


    "Fine, let me get changed" I sighed ¨C knowing that he was right. Even if he was going to deny me as his mate, he still needed to tell me to my face that he was


    not epting me. I needed to get it over with. Dean was thankful and disappeared out my room and downstairs.


    I quickly looked through my clothing, trying to find something nice to wear ¨C but I didn''t own anything that would suddenly make me attractive. ncing in the


    mirror, at my body I decided that I should wear something tight. I mean, my body was alright. I spent my life ying some sort of sport, so I was muscled with


    thick thighs and wide hips. I was bottom heavy with minimum at the top.


    So I pulled on my tightest jeans, which had rips on the knees, before pulling on a in white blouse. My hair was just not behaving, no matter how much


    product I put it in, so I braided it quickly and pulled on my trusty baseball cap. I then rushed over to the mirror and sagged in defeat. I didn''t really look any


    different.


    I thought about using some makeup from my mother''s room, but knew that I would never be able to apply any of it, so quickly dismissed this idea. "Get a grip


    on yourself May" I whispered to my reflection. "Whatever he does, just don''t cry in front of him. You''re not that weak, you don''t have to cry in front of him".


    I gave myself oncest nod of encouragement, before heading out the room.

 Chapter 5

    Chapter 5


    Book 1: Chapter 5


    Dean knocked on the door and there was a moment of movement. The third inmand stood in front of me, outside of the bedroom that Seth was staying in


    ¨C inside the spare house. All of the Equinox Wolves were staying in the house, but of course Seth had the biggest room.


    "What?" Seth called out ¨C inwardly I shivered and reacted to his husky, masculine, voice.


    "It''s me" Dean called.


    "Good, pack your shit. We''re leaving. Today. I want to go before I have to see her again" Seth roared. Mentally I whimpered in upset, but externally my face


    was nk. Dean looked at me in sympathy before trying to open the door. It was locked. "Dean, it''s locked" Seth confirmed.


    "Open it up man. You need to speak to your mate".


    Seth growled, storming across the room. "My mate is--". He opened the door and came face to face with Dean and I.


    "Your mate is right here" Imented with a frown. Seth looked me over once more ¨C his face as nk as mine. I couldn''t help but admire him again; he was


    honestly the most attractive man I''d ever seen in my life. He was beautiful.


    "Why did you bring her here, Dean?" my mate demanded, ring at his friend.


    "Because she''s your mate. And bringing her here was probably the only way to snap you out of these crazy ideas". He pushed me towards his Alpha and I


    practically fell into the bedroom when Seth moved out of the way ¨C not wanting to touch me.


    "Ow" Iined, as I steadied myself. I turned back and red at Dean. "I''ve not Shifted, asshole, that hurt".


    "Sorry kid" he winked at me. Seth looked between Dean and me with a frown, before the third inmand turned on his heel and walked away. There was a


    moment of pause, as Seth just looked at me before he stepped out of the doorway.


    "Leave" he ordered me, gesturing to the door. Inside my heart was hurting, but I remained cool and calm. Walking further into the room I took a seat on the


    edge of therge bed ¨C trying to take a mental gulp of courage. I may have felt ridiculous but I knew that I needed to fight for my mate. Because I did want Seth


    to love me, or at least I wanted him to try.


    "I''m not leaving, you owe it to me to at least speak to me" I stated, noticing that my voice was slightly shaky. Seth looked at me for a moment, before kicking


    the door shut aggressively. I jumped in shock at the sound. Seth noticed my nervousness and smirked at me ¨C in the same way, a cat looked at a mouse.


    "Nervous, freckles?" he teased me.


    "No" I scoffed.


    "You should be" he replied, as he moved towards the bed where I sat.


    I gulped deeply, "you won''t hurt me. I''m your mate".


    "Who said anything about hurting you, freckles?" He reached me and red down at me. I took a shaky breath as I looked up into him. But it wasn''t because I


    was scared but because I was nervous ¨C I didn''t know what to say to him. "Come on freckles. You refused to leave, so why are you here?"


    "I''m your mate" I whispered, looking into his beautiful blue eyes.


    "You''re a kid".


    Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    "I''m sixteen".


    "Like I just said, you''re a kid" he retorted.


    "But I''m still your mate, Seth" I began, using his name for the first time. I saw Seth''s eyes narrow when I used his name. But he remained silent. "We only get


    one mate. I''m yours and your mine. I get that I''m a lot younger than you and that I''m not pretty like a lot of the other She-Wolves. But I''m the only mate you''re


    ever going to get".


    Seth was quiet for few moments before nodding. "You''re my only mate, I get that. But it still doesn''t make this right. Imagine finding out that your mate was a


    two-year-old toddler". He looked at me as I pulled a face. "Exactly. That''s the age difference between us. It''s the equivalent of you dating a baby. It''s weird and


    it''s wrong".


    "But I''m still your mate".


    "Yeah" he sighed. He ran a hand through his dark hair and silently looked at me. "What happened to your face?" he demanded suddenly. I blinked in confusion.


    "Your face. It''s bruised. What happened?" he borated.


    "I fell".


    "That doesn''t look like a fall. It looks like you were in a fight". He raised a thick dark eyebrow at me. I shrugged uncaringly but not wanting to talk about it.


    "You''re changing the subject" Imented ¨C changing the subject back.


    "Now you''re changing the subject by changing the subject".


    "Now you''re changing the subject by stating that I''m changing the subject by changing the subject" I retorted back, crossing my arms over my chest.


    His eyebrows dipped, "what?"


    "I''m your mate" I snapped angrily. "Don''t you care about me at all?"


    "Mabel please understand--".


    "May".


    "What?" he asked again.


    "May. I go by May, not Mabel. I hate that fucking name" I informed him.


    "Fine, May, you need to understand that we''re probably not going to work out. Sometimes mates aren''t just meant to be. And we are that couple". He gave me


    a condescending smile. "You''re a sweet kid but I don''t want you as a mate".


    "Can''t you just wait for me to grow up?" I sniffed, feeling another wave of tears from his rejectioning on.


    "Because it''s not just that May".


    "It''s because I''m not pretty, isn''t it? I bet if I was pretty you''d want me. You''re just using this age thing as an excuse" I blurted, a few tears spilling out my ducts


    and down my cheeks. I angrily wiped them away.


    "Oh, May" Seth sighed heavily, before awkwardly sitting down next to me on the bed. He put his arm around my shoulders ¨C in the way youfort a little


    child. He wiped my cheeks with a small smile. "I''m sorry freckles, but I don''t think we''re going to work out. I want to make this easier on you, so I''m leaving with


    my Wolves today".


    I hupped as I began to sob heavily, feeling as if my heart is breaking. "May...May...Mabel, please stop crying". He squeezed my shoulders as I turned to cry


    on his shoulder. I felt ridiculous and childish, but my heart felt like it was being torn apart. I couldn''t help but cry. "Seriously stop, please, I don''t like to see you


    upset".


    "You did this to me" I sobbed out, "you were supposed to love me and care for me. I''m going to be alone forever because you don''t want me". I gripped my


    hands onto his shirt as I cried, trying to keep him with me. Seth awkwardly wrapped his arms around me, holding his breath as one of his hands softly ran up


    and down my back. He pulled my baseball cap off, so he could wipe my cheeks more ¨C making me feel even more like a child beingforted by their father.


    I pulled back slightly when I realized how pathetic I was acting. I was so close to Seth I could smell his manly scent. I looked up into his blue eyes and


    butterflies circled my stomach. Seth looked down at me looking at me with sympathy.


    He opened his mouth, no doubt to rip my heart apart some more, so I did the only thing I could. I leaned up and kissed him ¨C silencing his rejection once more.


    I''d never kissed anyone before, so I wasn''t really sure what I was doing. Our lips touched for less than a second, before I realized what I was doing and pulled


    away.


    Seth looked at me in confusion, eyes blinking in shock, before he bent down and kissed me again. My eyes fluttered closed as our lips met passionately ¨C his


    lips were hard and brittle but with a sweet taste to them. The slight dark stubble on his face tickled my face, as we kissed.


    My body was on fire, as Seth''s hands moved around me so that they were no longerforting me but suddenly holding me against him. My fingers untangled


    their hard grip on his shirt before my hands slipped slowly up his chest. I could feel his heart beating strong and heavy. We kissed heavily, my feelings of


    rejections disappearing and being reced with soft and passionate feelings of need and lust.


    When we pulled away, breaking the kiss, I looked up into his beautiful blue eyes. "I am so fucked" he whispered softly, looking down at me.


    "Seth" I breathed out, not sure what to say. He looked at me for a moment longer, before turning and throwing me into the center of the bed. I yelped in shock


    as Seth''s bright blue eyes shone at me. A secondter he was on top of me, kissing me deeply.


    A soft moan slipped out of my mouth, as he pressed his body on top of mine as our tongues teased each other. Seth''s body was hard and solid above me, but


    I couldn''t feel any of his weight. In fact, I felt weightless.


    Seth broke the kiss, and moved back just enough to pull off his shirt. My eyes lit up in desire, as I saw hisrge muscled chest ¨C his skin ivory and his six-pack


    defined and glistening. Tattoos glistened over his back, but I didn''t get a chance to look at the design because a secondter his lips reimed mine.


    We carried on making out again for a few minutes, before Seth pulled back once more and his hands impatiently pulled at my shirt. I leaned up and he pulled it


    off me, exposing my body to him. I was only wearing a sports bra ¨C because I found them morefortable ¨C but Seth didn''t seem to care.


    I clumsily kicked my sneakers off, before we began to kiss heavily again. My legs wrapped around his waist as our lips battled together. Seth trailed his kisses


    over my chin and down to my neck. His hands ran up and down my sides as his lips kissed and bit my skin. A breathy moan slipped from my lips as my hands


    gripped onto his muscled back.


    He paused for a moment, lips less than a millimeter from my skin, his breath blowing over my skin. I shivered as he paused. "Damn, damn, damn" he muttered.


    "What? Is something wrong?" I worried.


    "Yes, I''m just going to hell" Seth sighed. I was confused for a moment before his teeth dug into my skin. I yelped in pain as his teeth broke through my skin,


    and slight blood oozed out. My eyes watered in pain as my hands dug into his back.


    Seth was marking me ¨C he was making me his.


    He could no longer deny me as his mate.


    I belonged to him, I was his mate.
