Mia's POV

My eyes opened to the sound of a bag being thrown on top of my seat onto the shelves. I inhale deeply and smell something good, it was quite...chocolatey with a bit of mint. My stomach growled and I pat it with my left hand.

"You hungry?"

I look up and my eyes widen when I see the most gorgeous man in front of me, his eyes were such a nice hazel color. Don't get me started on his hair, it looked so soft and the dirty blonde suited his peach tanned skin tone. His nose was slightly pink just like those lips.

"Uh-oh-uh n-no, uh-"

He closed his eyes and scratched the back of his head letting out a small laugh. I think my heart just melted. He pointed to the seat next to me.

"Oh! Yes, please. I apologize for being in your way," Really Mia? Nice one.

I scoot back in the plane seat and cross my legs so he could sit next to me. I cleared my throat just to make things less awkward.

It didn't work.

Brady's POV

"No Mom, I have searched everywhere but I haven't found him. He isn't here!"

"Listen, he comes here every year to visit his niece. Remember the mission?"

"Yeah Brady, remember the Mission?" My wolf Ryan spoke.

I ignore both of them.

I slap my forehead and hang up the phone so I don't get yelled at again. I shove my phone into the side pocket of my backpack and enter the airplane back home to Colorado.

Another year of no luck and my mom was getting very angry at me for my continuous failures. I try to forget everything and search for my seat. After a few minutes, I find it and see a beautiful girl resting her eyes as she slept peacefully.

Wow, the plane hasn't started moving and she was already passed out. I let out a small snicker and open the compartment above her seat, shoving my bag in there quite loudly. She jolted awake causing her stomach to grumble.

"You hungry?" I ask.

She looks up and is at a loss of words, just making incoherent sounds.

The girl lets me sit in my seat, which was right next to her. She clears her throat and I give her a weird look.

Huh, not awkward at all.

"Er, sorry." She whispered.

"It's fine,"

I soon mind my own business and rub my nose which I knew had already become pink. The Utah air had really made my allergies skyrocket all over the place. I could barely smell anything.

My eyes wander back at the girl and I get a good look at her this time. She was quite beautiful. Her eyes were drops of honey full of curiosity and her hair was longer than most women. It was a nice light brown with small streaks of natural red.

"She really is beautiful, but wait for our mate."

"I-is there something on my face?" She asks.

I shake my head and smile a little. I let my hand out to introduce myself.

"Hi, I'm Brady."

She takes it without hesitation and grips my hand in hers.

"My name is Mia."

She gives a grim smile. Mia's hand is soon out of my grasp and she turns her body away from me.

"So, Mia. What are you doing heading to Colorado? If...you don't mind me asking."

She shrugs her shoulders and looks around before replying.

"Well, I am going to go to visit my uncle and aunt. What about you?"

"Oh. I am just heading home."

She nodded slowly and smacked both of her lips together.

"Cool."

Mia points to the small bathroom behind our seats and starts to stand up.

"I'm gonna go use the restroom. Ugh, why did I tell you that?"

I chuckle and nod.

When she begins to walk out of her seat, she quickly sits back down and faces me as her hands cover the sides of her face.

I felt an urgent need to check if she was alright.

"Back already?" I joke around.

Mia rolls her eyes and bites her lip with fear.

"You see that man right there?"

My eyes are set on the man standing directly behind her and then they widen with shock. Oh no.

Alpha King Luca stood there with nothing but a phone and a plane ticket. I glance at Mia then back at him.

"Yes...what about him?"

"Well, that's my uncle."

Awe, crap.

Matt's POV

"I swear I had my ticket,"

I check my pocket once more and watch the people behind me get irritated.

I let out a small and awkward laugh.

"Ha, listen. Is there any chance you can let me get on the plane? I really need to get home."

"I'm sorry sir."

My eyes almost darken with anger but I calm myself before I can shift in front of all these people.

I am kicked out of the line.

Where could my ticket have gone? I go back to where I met Mia and sit back down.

Mia's POV

"Please help me, if he sees that I followed him, I am dead," I beg.

Brady snickers and stares at Uncle Luca.

"Okay, okay. Here," he takes off his yellow sweatshirt and gives it to me, "wear this."

I raise an eyebrow and purse my lips with utter confusion.

"What? Why?"

"What do you mean why? It'll cover your scent with mine. He won't be able to smell you,"

"What the hell does that mean Brady?"

I take the sweatshirt and put it on without any other questions.

"Wait, you don't...know?" He asked.

"Know what?"

His eyes burn into mine and his irises move to look at both of my mines with such intensity.

"...Never mind."

I turn my head and see Uncle Luca looking around the plane with content, he inhales deeply and furrows his eyebrows. His head begins to lurk toward where I was sitting.

I quickly grabbed Brady's face without thinking and pressed my lips against his. He doesn't kiss back for a moment because of the sudden action but as soon as he does, my body tingles with electricity as butterflies fill my stomach.

"Ugh, teenagers." I hear Uncle Luca mutter under his breath.

Brady pulls away and puts his hand on my cheek trying to catch his breath. His eyes were darker than usual and he licked his lips.

"Mate," he whispers.

"What?" I question as my hands are soon off of him.

He turns away and covers his face with his hands rubbing his eyes.

"No, this can't be happening to me. No God no."

"What? What's wrong?"

Brady starts to avoid me and the plane begins to move slowly. I grab ahold of his hand from being nervous.

"Sorry, I nervous riding on a plane,"

Luckily, he didn't let go. Instead, he tightened his grip but never looked straight at me for the rest of the entire plane ride.

*****
"Mia." A strong voice muttered.

My head was resting on my new friend's shoulder while his head rested on mine.

I shifted out of his hold and stretch my arms. I see the large amounts of people standing in a line and waiting to exit the plane with their belongings.

I try to find Uncle Luca but fail, which only meant he was already off of the plane.

After about 10 minutes I was finally off of the plane with my small travel backpack. Brady followed me out and watched my every move as I watched Uncle Luca's.

"Mia, I know this might be really fast but...can I have your number?" Brady asked quietly.

I give him a toothless smile and let my hand out. He takes out his phone and unlocks it for me.

My finger tap the screen and I type a little 'hi.' In his texts, so I could also save his number.

"When will I see you again?"

My heart fluttered when I saw him. In these past hours, I sat next to such an attractive man who I had kissed in the first 15 minutes of the meeting.

But there was this connection I felt. This connection I knew he also felt deeply in his heart. It was as if we were meant to know each other.

"Bye Brady,"

My lips touched his soft and clean-shaven cheek before I wave goodbye and start following Uncle Luca once again.

Brady's POV

Crap. Crap. Shoot. I am so screwed. Why me?

Ryan, my wolf, snickered in the back of my head at this very stressful situation.
I see my mother outside of the airport waiting for me in her small jeep. The doors unlock and I shove my baggage into the back seats before climbing in myself.

I try my best to avoid speaking to my mother but of course, that never worked out. She glared at me with such hatred and started to the car back to the pack.

"You failed again. It has been two years Brady and you still can't kill him!"

"Listen, what if I don't want to kill him? Have you ever thought about that?"

She scoffed and stares at the road with such anger flushed all over her light face. I couldn't tell her that Mia was my mate, that would put her in danger and I couldn't do that. I didn't have the heart to do that.

When she kissed me, I knew right away that she was my mate. I just wished I would've been able to smell her irresistible scent that I knew could drive me over the roof. Alpha King Luca is her uncle to make matters even worse.

He hates me and wouldn't give a crap if I were to die. My mother wants me to kill him so we can get vengeance for my so-called father. Mia is my mate, the person I am meant to be with for the rest of my life.

I could tell she was...human by the way she reacted when I told her about my plan with the sweatshirt. This was going to be so much harder than I thought.

"I saw Alpha King Luca,"

Mom turned her head to see me before keeping her eyes back on the road.

"What?"

"Yeah, He was on the plane with me so I couldn't hurt him in front of all those innocent humans. He got away because as the crowd began walking out of the plane, he was pushed with them."

I decided to leave Mia out of this. There was no way I could have her get hurt because as soon as our lips touched, I had fallen for her.

"Do you know where he is going?"

I shrug my shoulders and tap the bone of my knee.

"His pack I'm assuming. Where else would he go?"

She sighs and swerves to the right of the road. I hold onto the handle on top of the window as my mother pounces the break.

"Get out. Go find him and don't return until you finally have the guts to kill him."

I open the car door without another word and slam it shut. My middle finger is in the air as my mother leaves me stranded with all my stuff in her car...

On my right was the forest that would lead me to the Woods Pack. Maybe this is a sign that the universe is giving me.

As soon as I make it into the forest, my clothes are peeled off of my body and I shift into my wolf. His pale beige colored fur flows in the slight wind that nature offered us.

My paws thud on the dirt and grime as I make my way to the Woods Pack to end the life of Alpha King Luca.

I was almost there but once I make it there, I saw her standing in the territory without another thought.

Oh, Mia, what are you doing?
