Chapter 1

                                    

                                          
"Hi...I'm Arianna."
                          
"Hi...Steven."
                          
"So Steven, what do you do for a living?"
                          
"Construction.  What about you?"
                          
"I'm actually in college.  Studying to be a Doctor.  I work in the pack clinic part-time."
                          
"Uh, huh…"
                          
God this is boring.  I can't believe Marissa talked me into this.  Speed dating?  I'll never find my mate this way.  
                          
Ding!
                          
The men rotate tables, and my new 'date' sits down.
                          
Yikes! Look at the unibrow on this guy.  Looks like a fuzzy caterpillar.
                          
"My, my, my ...aren't you sweet?  I'd like to lick you like a lollipop."
                          
"What the hell?"
                          
Ding!
                          
The night went on like this for another hour.  When it was finally over, I yanked Marissa out of the bar.
                          
"That was horrible.  Why do I let you talk me into these things?"
                          
"Oh come on...it wasn't that bad."
                          
"No ...it was way worse."
                          
We walked the few blocks back to our dorm room.  Marissa is not only my best friend, but my roommate.  Thank god for that.
                          
"I'm getting a shower.  Gotta wash off the loser from tonight."
                          
She laughs, and I get under the hot spray.  I'm thinking about my lecturer for tomorrow.  Hunter Knols. He's the Alpha from Blue Moon Pack, and a doctor.  He's highly respected and feared.  He'll be giving our lecture tomorrow.  I'm kinda excited.  I want to get to bed.
                          
After my shower, I got changed, and flopped into bed.
                          
"Goodnight Mar."
                          
"Night bestie."
                          
I had weird dreams about Alpha Knols.  It was just me and him in the lecture hall, and he gave me a private lecture.  My brain swam with dirty images of us fucking on the table.  Me giving him a blowjob, and him eating me out.  
                          
Buzzzz….buzzzz ...buzzzz!
                          
I reached over and slammed off the alarm.
                          
"Ugh...right at the good part."
                          
"Arianna, you were moaning in your sleep."
                          
"Sorry."
                          
We got up, and went to get ready for our lecture.  Marissa is studying to be a doctor too, but her grades suck.  I wear my usual black pants, blouse, and white lab coat.  Marissa wears a mini skirt, shorter than her lab coat, and a tank top shirt.  We are supposed to wear business casual, but Marissa does what she wants.  We grab breakfast along the way, and make it to the lecture 10 minutes early.  She spots one of her boy toys, and runs over to say hello.  I go find us a seat, and wait.  It's about to start, when I see him come out into the classroom.  He goes to the podium to set up some papers.  
                          
Hot damn!  He's even sexier than I thought.  Tall, maybe 6'3" tall.  Big, muscular, tan, dark brown hair, dark brown eyes.  All eyes are on him, and he hasn't said a word.  My heart is racing.  He's wearing a dark blue suit that does nothing to hide his muscular physique.  Somehow, it enhances it.  Marissa sits next to me.
                          
"Shit girl.  Look at him.  I bet he's got a big dick."
                          
"Shut up Marissa."
                          
I growl under my breath, getting the attention of a few others nearby.  Marissa is surprised and startled.
                          
"I'm sorry Marissa.  I don't know why I did that."
                          
"You okay girl?"
                          
"Yeah.  Must be that dream from last night."
                          
One of our med school professors comes out.
                          
"Attention class, we have a guest speaker.  Doctor and Alpha Hunter Knols from the Blue Moon Pack."
                          
The class claps.  I sit and stare at him.  My hands feel clammy.  I am sweating.  He starts to talk, and I feel like putty in my seat.  After an awkward hour lecture, I don't think I heard a single word he said.  We are allowed to greet the Alpha, on our way out of class.  Many line up, and so do I.  I am somewhere in the middle of the line.  Fidgeting the whole time.  As the line gets closer, I feel anxious.  There is one person in front of me now.  She's desperately flirting.  I'm now getting angry.  He finally shoos her away. 
                          
I bow to him.
                          
"Alpha Knols, it is an honor."
                          
"Look at me."
                          
I locked eyes with him, and it seems that all time stops.  His eyes grow wide. He looks me up and down.  
                          
"What's your name?"
                          
"Arianna Freeman, sir."
                          
He takes my hand, and I feel a jolt of electricity go through my body. He suddenly pulls me to his chest, and I feel an arm go around my body.  I gasp.  He is almost a foot taller than me.  I look up at him.
                          
"Mine…."
                          
Only his guards hear him.  They look at each other, then at us.  
                          
"Take her."
                          
I'm suddenly pulled out of my trance, when 2 guards grab me.
                          
"What are you doing?  Let me go!"
                          
I see Marissa, as the guards drag me out.
                          
"Marissa!  Call my parents!"
                          
"Arianna, what happened!?  Let her go!"
                          
I am taken out of the lecture hall, and outside.  They quickly take me to an unmarked vehicle, and put me in the back seat.  I am locked in.
                          
"Let me out!"
                          
The guards stand on either side of the doors.  It feels like forever, but then finally, Alpha Hunter comes to the car.  He gets in the back seat with me.  I'm beyond scared.  He turns to look at me.
                          
"You are my mate."
                          
"I...I...yes…"
                          
"We are driving back to my pack house.  Your parents will be informed of your whereabouts."
                          
"Can't I say goodbye?  Pack some things?"
                          
"No.  I'll have it taken care of."
                          
He starts to get out.
                          
"Where are you going?  Aren't you coming with me?"
                          
"No.  I drive with my mistress."
                          
"Mistress?"
                          
I see a woman approach the car.  She is slender, tall, long auburn hair.  He gets out and shuts the door.  I see him take her in his arms, and kisses her.  My heart just tore in two.  As the car pulls away from them, I watch out the back window.  He looks at me, then gets into a limo with his mistress.  I sit back, and start crying.  He just pulled me away from my family, and uprooted my life.  On top of it, he has a mistress.
