Adrianna's POV

I was infuriated with North, of all the people she could have been soul mates with, it had to be this random guy. I could care less whether he had tattoos, scars, or a vampire heart but the thing that bothered me most was his countenance.

His face seemed to be in a permanent state, dreary. Looking at him made me feel like he was like looking at a gray cloud, covering up the sun's beauty, ruining the sunshiney mood. This is my soul mate? Cold? Alpha-like? I feel as though such a man would not be interested in love, let alone soulmates.

Selene, the goddess of the moon and of soul mates must have high or drinking when she made this match. I mean, the first thing he said to me was, " Next time, I'll let you get crushed." Oh the nerve of him saves me, finds out he's  my soulmate, and still he treats it as though it never happened. Well, two can play at that game.

I retaliated, " Then why didn't you do that? I do not wish for your help. So, get out of the way. I'm in a hurry." He took my hand softly and said, " Wait, are you, Adrianna Stevens? Do you have a younger sister named Carla?" My eyes widened, " Are you an oracle?"

He rolled his eyes, " I'm here to take you to Carsen's house, Carla sent me to come and pick you up." I responded softly, " Thank you but are we not going to talk about the fact that you and I are soul mates?"

I swear, at this moment, I could have sworn the flesh on his face might have melted off if I dare say that again. His teeth gritted and he grabbed my wrist harshly, " You and I are not soul mates and don't you dare say we are again. Now, let me take you to Carsen's house, he's an impatient man as you must know."

I now know that this was a mistake, I think we would end up in an asylum if were to be together. Oh dear Selene, she must be trying to kill me or drive me mad but I will not stand for it, no matter how handsome he may be. All men with good looks are such jerks.

When he finally let go of my wrist, he said, " Are you coming or am I going to have to have to tell your sister that you're not coming to her wedding and you would have to let her down, again?" He then walked away and I chased after him," What do you mean by let her down again?"

He looked at me, his blue eyes gazing into my own, he still looked angry with the world, "When you left, you left her broken-hearted and she never grew up with the sister with she loved most dearly." He opened the car door for me and I kept my anger in until he got in as well. As soon as he buckled up I shouted, " NOW YOU LISTEN HERE, I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU AND QUITE HONESTLY, I DON'T CARE! I LEFT THAT HOUSE BECAUSE OF HER, SHE WAS ALWAYS THE PRINCESS, LOVED BY ALL AND I WAS THE MISTAKE! I HONESTLY DO NOT REGRET LEAVING HER BECAUSE IF IT WAS THE OTHER WAY AROUND, SHE WOULD LEAVE ME IN AN INSTANT."

I cooled down and sighed," Now, since you have no idea what you are talking about, I wish you would keep your trap shut about things that you do not understand! Have I made myself quite clear... Alpha."

He shrunk back and continued driving. I think I actually intimidated him.

Vincent's POV

Wow! what a woman. Wait, stop. What am I thinking? I cannot be with her. She and I would kill each other if we were together and I am in love with Carla, I always have been and I always will be.

There she was though, looking out the window, a few tears escaping her eyes. Why did I want so badly to wipe them away and kiss her forehead? What was it about her that made me want to be with her so much?

A voice in the back of my head said in a ghost-like voice, " Becaaaaause, sheeee's hoooot." Oh man, now Tarz is going to lecture me now. I responded back to him in my head, " Stop it, I love Carla. This, this can be avoided and once I am married to Carla, she will be my soul mate then and will be happy with her." He responded by yelling," Are you crazy?! A forced match! Do you have any idea what will happen to me and her wolf? If you force a match we will die you moronic idiot and who will make sure you your arrogant butt doesn't slip up? Not me!" I rolled my eyes and shooed Tarz away.

I stopped my car, smirking at Adrianna," I will see you again and I shall be counting down the seconds until we do." She rolled her eyes and mumbled, " I would rather die and burn in Hell 1000 times over again before I deal with you again. Good day, whatever your name is." I smirked and waved as she got out of the car, " I love it when you flirt with me Adykins."

I then drove away, laughing, this is going to be a fun wedding.

Adrianna's POV

Oh that no good snot-for-brains, if I ever were to see him again, I would punch him until that wretched smirk off his face faded off. I hated that smirk so much almost as much I hated him.

You're doing this for Carla, you're doing this for Carla, you're doing this far Carla. I kept repeating this in my mind as I walked up the cobblestone path to the place I once called home. Every step I took, a rush of memories and emotions flooded over me and now more than ever, I wished my brother and mom were still here with me and then maybe I could deal with this.

I stepped up the stairs of the patio to the house, my heels clicking across it as I reached for the doorbell, waiting for someone to open the door. When someone did, the face that was behind the screen door was someone I hoped never to see again...My father, Carsen.

I froze and instead of a " Hi! how are you? What's happening?" I smirk at him and say in the bitterest voice, " Surprise! Your disappointment has arrived!"
