We entered Southgate mall in Missoula and once again I was being dragged around.

I asked myself if these people would ever stop? Do they know I can walk on my own?

I was dragged towards a shoe shop, gorgeous shoes neatly scattered all over the shop on displays, taunting you to fall in love and buy the whole lot.

Penelope ran to a couple displays and grabbed shoes of both our sizes before piling them up in front of me until there was a mountain of shoes, a whole foot taller than myself.

I sat and stared at her, smiling nervously at the mountain she created as she plopped down next to me with a huff.

To say that I fit fourty pairs of shoes in that shop, doesn't even cover half of it. By the end of 3 hours just fitting on nothing but shoes, I was already tired and by the growl that errupted from my stomach in protest, my body told me that it's time to get some food before I got hangry.

Yes, you read right, hangry.

After paying for my sixteen pairs of shoes, I followed the smell of food towards the food court...

The smell of Thai food catching my attention the most as I made my way over and smiled at the human behind the counter.

"Don't smile at him. He's human. Luke will have his head on a silver platter." My wolf scolded me causing me to groan in reply.

After ordering our meal, Penelope and I went to sit down and I pulled out my phone to read my messages since I've heard my phone beep a couple of times.

Hello my love.
Hope you're enjoying your time.
Don't come home too late as I have a surprise for you.
Xx
Luke

Hey dipshit.
Miss your stupid face.
Kate says 'Hi'.
Come around sometime.
Liam.

So your surprise is set.
Can't wait for tonight.
I love you
Xx
Luke

A kick to the shin distracted me and I lifted my head to see the waiter put down my delicious looking noodles in front of me making an instant smile spread across my lips.

During our meal, Penelope and I made small talk but I kept having an eerie feeling as if someone were watching me.

______________

Anonymous Point Of View.

She looks so beautiful.

I wonder if she will remember me.

"You mean us." my wolf reminded me, causing me to sigh in annoyance.

I wonder if she'd still look at me with the same twinkle in her eyes like she used to way back when...

I've missed her.

The soft smell of fruit and flowers that was filling my nostrils sent shivers down my spine... It was her scent. I could just nuzzle her neck all day long while her scent sent my mind into a frenzy.

Wait. What's this?

"She's mated to him?" My wolf growled, the sound crawling up my throat and slipping through my teeth.

What the actual fuck?

She's mine! MINE!

I'LL KILL HIM! THAT PATHETIC LITTLE ALPHA! I'LL FUCKING KILL THE BASTARD FOR TOUCHING MY GIRL!

My wolf's rage boiled my blood and it flowed through my veins like molten lava, consuming all my sanity as it went. I had to take her away from whoevers scent was all over her. I had to.

She was mine and only mine!

The sound of a chair screeching across the surface of the wooden floor at the Thai restaurant and the smell of fruits and flowers becoming stronger shook me from my raging fit.

I hurried away at a consistent pace and made my way to the door of the mall before pulling my hood down further to avoid any eye contact and making my way to my car.

I can't believe I saw her.

"I can't believe she fucking betrayed us and mated with some prick!" my wolf snarled, pushing for control.

Lexi's Point Of View

A familiar smell hit me as we made our way out of the Thai restaurant but I immediately shook it off at the reminder that this person couldn't be anywhere near. It was impossible.

Penelope hooked her arm with mine and we strolled over to a store named 'Bellawere Boutique' causing me to chuckle slightly.

Humans have always had the strangest fascination with werewolves and vampires ever since that goddamn Twilight series turned up. If only they knew exactly how much our races hated each other and how non-glittery, scary and disgusting vampires really were.

As for us werewolves, we're the more sociable type and prefer to keep our little special trait far from prying eyes in places where no human would dare to go without risking being arrested and most probably killed by an angry police officer/ werewolf on steroids. Just kidding! We just don't take kindly to trespassers, that's all.

The nudging of my arm brought me back to reality and I looked down to a petite little blonde human peering up at me with a nervous smile as she wiped her sweaty hands on her clothes, the name Bianca stitched onto her shirt catching my attention.

"Even humans can sense our power." my wolf mused with a grin making me chuckle and immediately dismiss my amusement by clearing my throat.

"Egotistical much." I bit back at her for boasting like the bitch she was only to watch her retreat with her tail between her legs.

Penelope and Bianca hurriedly started piling clothes of my size in a heap the size of a bear by a dressing chamber while I was thoughtlessly browsing through some shirts, catching Bianca's attention every now and then stared at her with intimidating eyes when she passed by.

"Humans. Pathetic. Weak. Mortal. Lesser." my wolf started spitting out in hateful pauses causing me to hum in agreement only to keep the peace.

I made my way to the dressing chamber at Penelope's excited call and found myself being pushed around once more as Penelope shoved an outfit against my chest, spun me around and shoved me into the chamber with a giggle.

"This shoving and pushing needs to stop. It's pissing me off big time." my wolf growled.

"Just go with it... I'm way too tired to fight it off right now and even if I do put up a decent fight - you and I both know she won't stop."

I came out with a striped maroon t-shirt dress, a pair of open toe boots, a velvet black hat, a choker and a handbag hanging from my wrist.

I stood awkwardly as Penelope and the human stared at me in awe and looked me up and down repeatedly. "What?" I asked with an uninterested tone.

"You're beauti-" Penelope got cut off by a loud sigh.

"Wow." Bianca breathed as she peered up at me only to look me up and down once more.

"Uhm thank you." I smiled awkwardly.

This one is definitely creepy.

"Next, you beauty!" Penelope exclaimed, shoving a pile of clothes in my hand along with a pair of shoes before shooing me back into the dressing chamber.

I quickly stripped myself bare of the whole outfit and put on the other one Penelope chose...

It consisted of a cute pair of ripped jeans, a thick belt, a t-shirt styled crop top and a pair of black and white kicks. It was simple but cute, something I would've picked myself.

I stepped out and before the girls could react, my phone rang and I picked it up off the table to answer.

"Hello?" I said without even looking for caller ID.

"Hi baby! Having fun?" Luke's voice boomed from the phone and instantly made me smile.

"Oh hey babe! I am thanks! Penelope is just bossy as hell" I chuckled, sticking my tongue out at her only to have her show me the middle finger while laughing.

"Hurry home. I miss you!" Luke grunted in a childish tone.

"You know, you could've just mind-linked me and I'll do my best, love." I said as I wished I could just get this done with now. I never was one for shops and people.

"I prefer hearing your voice and besides, you shut me out. Okay babe. See you soon, yeah? Can't wait for you to see the surprise I made, I just know you're gonna wanna jump me for it." Luke mused before growling sexually.

"Mmmm. " I hummed as I tried to stifle my wolf's purr in appreciation of her male.

Luke whispered an "I love you" and I said the same before he hung up.

The next hour and a half dragged by slowly and by the end of it, Penelope and I walked out of the mall with 18 bags of clothes and MORE shoes.

We chucked the bags in the trunk of my car, jumped into the front, strapped in and I raced home like a maniac as the longing for my mate started to become unbearable.
