Anyway thanks for the support, love it! And sorry if there are any errors, I normally take more time to look through it to check but I was wanting it up tonight.

I couldn’t help the sigh which fell from my lips as I stood on the large field which held the shifters of our pack, the fact I had been forced to leave my angel to attend this lesson not settling well with me. My pack had been avoiding me as much as possible, not that I could really blame them since I wasn’t exactly in a good mood. How could I be when my angel wasn’t here, she should be at my side for fucks sake where she belonged!

I ran a hand through my hair as I glanced to my right, trying to fight a grin when I felt my mates eyes on me as I did so. I had taken Ellie’s advice and immediately stripped off my shirt when I made my way onto the training field. What? I was a bloke after all and the fact I could feel some of my mates lust was a bonus!

When we mate fully we will be a lot more in-tune with each other, meaning not only will she be mine as I hers but I will be able to not only feel her emotions as if they were my own but I would be able to track her with ease. It was something I couldn’t help but look forward to, being so close to her in such an intimate way was extremely pleasing to both me and my wolf.

“Hey mate snap out of it will you” Collin joked as he came jogging to my side, careful to keep his tone playful. My wolf didn’t take a good view on being ordered around, Collin like the rest of the pack knew to be careful around me. My father was also similar, that thought reminding me that both he and my mother were getting antsy with wanting to meet my mate and the future alpha female once I had marked her.

“Whatever, how the hell do you cope with this?” I asked frustrated as I ran my hand through my hair yet again, keeping a close eye on the new pack mates who happened to be the rouges who had mated in the pack. The other male rouges had a different class, we weren’t exactly going to teach them how to fight so they could turn on us were we?

“What being away from my Ellie?” he asked and I nodded. “It’s never easy mate, in fact I bet its worse for you since your wolf is as possessive as hell, no offence” he continued causing me to scowl. Brilliant, that’s just lovely news.

“Well that sucks” I stated before shrugging. Turning around I rounded everyone up before stating that we were working on speed, everyone following into the woods before I felt the familiar feeling come over me as I shifted into my pure black wolf.

Hey Hunter

I cringed when I heard Stacy’s voice in my head, unfortunately it was the one place I couldn’t avoid her completely. For the start I had tried to completely blank her out, ordering her to the opposite end of the field since she had been more than a little difficult lately with the whole me dating her sister and everything.

She believed I was delusional and made sure to remind me constantly, her whiny voice being more of an annoyance then anything. It was when she started to try and throw herself at me I started to tell her to back off, the last thing I needed was Zoe getting the wrong idea and losing any chance I had with her. That thought was completely unacceptable, after finding out what an amazing person she is, how my wolf as well as myself feel incredible in her presence even the thought of being away from her was not acceptable to me.  

Fuck off Stacy, I’m not in the mood and unless you want to feel my teeth in your neck I would shut it and concentrate! And before you comment, I will make sure it’s painful I hissed at her, baring my teeth in a way I knew made her wolf whimper. I was correct of course, hearing her whine before she scurried off causing me to roll my eyes. She may think she has power over everyone due to being the only female shifter but when I’m done with her parents she will be finding herself without a pack house and moving back in with her parents if I had anything to do with it.

Priceless mate Liam laughed, the sound in his wolf form gaining him odd looks as we all watched Stacy run off with her tail between her legs.

I rolled my eyes when I caught her thoughts, the fact she was foolish enough to think I was just playing hard to get saying it all. Seriously, why would I want her? Not only was she rude, disrespectful and believed herself to be the alpha female but it wasn’t like she had the skills to be. She wasn’t one of the fastest, she was lazy and undisciplined, the fact she was a good fighter not making up for the fact she didn’t listen to orders unless I made her.

She needs to learn her place, I am getting sick of her I replied back with a grunt, hearing laughter around the pack minds as even the past rouges found it amusing. I was shocked but pleased at how easily they had accepted the idea of being in a pack, but it wasn’t hard to realise why when they stated they didn’t become rouges voluntarily, but rather were kicked out or forced to leave their past packs.

I just can’t believe you said that to her, priceless Josh snorted causing me to roll my eyes, receiving weird looks as I did so since I doubted it looked exactly natural in my wolf form.

The rest of the morning went well but I soon found myself looking forward to lunch so I could be with my angel, hoping she hadn’t found out that I had in fact had a word with the teacher who had tried to give my angel detention. Did she miss the fact that Zoe was her superior, the last thing the teacher should be doing was telling her what to do?

Striding into the lunch hall I was pleasantly surprised to find her already sitting at my table with the girls, my grin widening when I took note that she was in fact eating. In my eyes she was still far too skinny for my liking, I had nothing against a girl who had a little meat on her bones but I wasn’t stupid enough to make my views known to her.

“Hey baby, you have a good morning?” I asked as I kissed her cheek before sitting down next to her, planning on getting something to eat a little later.

“Yep, though I heard you had a very interesting talk with one of my teachers” she hummed as she looked at me with a raised brow, the rest of my close pack mates walking in behind me as they immediately went to their mates to greet them.

With her comment I was sure I went white as a sheet, making me pleased as hell that the fact I was naturally tanned meant it would be slightly easier to hide my reaction. Shit, is she mad at me? Crap, crap I knew I shouldn’t have interfered but I couldn’t help myself, and I was sure I looked comical with my eyes wide and my mouth open as my pack mates laughed at my expense.

“Don’t worry Hunter, I actually thought it was sweet” Zoe smiled, immediately making me relax as I breathed a dramatic sigh of relief causing laughs and chuckles to break out across the table.

“Well that’s a relief, I’ll be right back I need to get food. You need anything babe?” I asked her as I made a move to get up, I was starving. Werewolves had an extremely high metabolism meaning we needed to eat a LOT to keep up with how much we shifted and such.

“Could you get me a drink, a milkshake will do?” she asked, making a move to get her purse from her bag causing me to scoff. Oh hell no! She may want to take things slow but I had more than enough money then I knew what to do with so there was no way I was letting her pay for anything I could get for her. Not to mention it made both me and my wolf want to purr, the feeling I got from looking after my mate was one which I found deliciously addicting.

“Milkshake it is” I stated before walking away after kissing her cheek, leaving her sitting there open mouthed as she held the money in her hand.

I could hear my pack laughing at her expense, and while I normally wouldn’t have liked it I had to admit it was amusing to hear her huff under her breath and mumble something along the lines of not being a kept woman.

That right there was another thing I loved about her, unlike Stacy she didn’t seem to value money what-so-ever. She had lived without a lot of it for most of her life after all, and while the thought pained me I couldn’t help but find the trait endearing that she definitely wouldn’t be with me for my money alone, not that I thought she would be or anything.

“Hold up mate” Collin called as the rest of the males quickly headed to get food, the shifter lessons ending slightly later than the normal ones so it was basically all the males who were now lining up in the food isle.  

“Hunter, Hunter!”

“Oh for the love of god…” I muttered as Collin shot me a sympathetic look, Stacy running into the hall with a panicked look on her face as she scanned the room for me. Spotting me in the food line she quickly made her way over, and if it wasn’t for the fact she looked panicked I would have ignored her.

“What is it Stacy?” I asked annoyed causing her to frown.

“It’s my parents, there…there” she stuttered out causing my brows to crease, what was wrong with the bloody twats?

“What about them Stacy?” I asked flatly, gaining odd looks from my pack mates. I knew why, it was obvious since I should have been on more of an alert. But would you care if your soul-mate, the girl who is your life, your everything was kicked out when she was a child by those people! They made me sick, disgusted even and if they hadn’t of been away I would have ripped their throats out before I could have calmed down. I knew that, Jack knew that and it was only a matter of time before everyone did if my mate was ok with her past being made aware like that.

“Why aren’t you more worried!” she screeched, obviously upset with my lack of reaction.

“Ok, ok Stacy I’m sorry. Tell me slowly what happened” I asked soothingly, having gained a crowd due to her heated entrance and high pitched shouting.

“Their house burnt down, I don’t know how but apparently someone set a fire” she gasped out causing my eyes to widen. Almost instinctively I looked towards my mate only to find an extremely innocent expression on her face.

“Fucking hell…” I found myself breathing in shocked awe, her eyes locking with mine as the emotions present told me all I needed to know. I didn’t know whether to be impressed, amused or scared of what my mate was capable of.

“Fucking hell indeed” I heard Jack as he mumbled next to me, obviously putting two and two together. Ok, I had to admit to myself, my mate was a badass alpha female…even if it scared me to my bones how far she would go for revenge. Yep, I will definitely not be getting on her wrong side if I can help it.
