Aaron's POV
I can't help but feel bad about Catherine losing her father, he's all she had and now he's no more. I know this from all the years I've been watching her closely. I know the person in the hood is going to come for her again and when they do, I'll be prepared this time.
I turn my head away from the window infront of me to instantly meet her gaze. Wow. I must say she's the most beautiful girl I've ever set my eyes on, and Sarah really did an amazing job on her makeup. I eye her head to toe, imagining different ways I could rip off her black beautiful dress that hugs her body tight, exposing her curves. I want to rip it off and f**k her on the table beside me because I can feel my d**k going hard right now just staring at her. I continue taking in her beauty when She reaches the last step. There's a twitch in her eyes as if she just recollected a memory. She glares at me, and I instantly know how she's about to react.
"You f*****g a**hole!" She approaches me with aggression and I watch as Hannah and Nick holds her back.
"Let go you b***h! I need to kill that monster like he did to my father!" Catherine yells at me and tries to fight through and I have to hold myself back from telling her what really happened, besides she won't believe me no matter how hard I try. For some reasons she's certain I killed him.
"Leave her" I say to them, pretending to be unfazed by her reaction. I dig my hands in my suit pocket as I approach her slowly.
I stand very close to her that I could just lean in a bit and kiss her but I control myself. Not just because I'm sure she wouldn't like that but because the rest of my pack members are watching.
"I'm going to kill you" Catherine glares at me and tries to say in her most intimidating voice. To be honest I find it too cute so I suppress a chuckle.
"Not before our dinner date. I think we need a better introduction" I say to her, whispering the last part when I lean closer to her ear. Good thing I have my favorite cologne on. I straighten my back again to take in her expression. Confused is an understatement.
"What?"

Catherine's POV
What the actual f***k! I'm seated in a fancy restaurant with the man who killed my father hours ago. I haven't killed him yet, still planning to. He's smiling at me like this is some romantic date and I'm trying my possible best not to pick up the table knife infront of me and slit his throat. The thought makes me smile to myself. Just right then I shift my attention back to him and catch him staring at me
"You're not fantasizing killing me are you?" Did he just read my mind?
"What? Why do you say so?"
"Because you've been staring at that knife and smiling to yourself" He says. Ofcourse I've been fantasizing killing you a**hat
"Anyways I understand. But I better introduce myself before you attempt it and you know- end up hurting yourself" he drops his fork on the plate of Portobello Mushrooms with Truffle Mash- the food he ordered for both of us.
I don't say anything and so he starts to introduce himself.
"I'm Aaron, the alpha of crescent pack. I'm 19. My parents-" he says but cuts himself off when he mentions his parents. He has a frown on his face now and something in me wants to ask what's wrong because its sudden. But instead I just sigh. Might just better introduce myself.
"I'm Catherine, I'm 18 and the girl whose father you just killed" I can't even form a fake smile because the last part of the sentence hurts.
"I didn't kill him" Aaron says and my eyes darts to meet his.
"I didn't kill your father" he repeats himself and I just look at him dumbfounded. If he didn't then who else did? I don't believe him. He never denied it when I accused him at first
"You liar"
"Knew you'd say that"
"Because I'm right. You killed him and I'm going to avenge his death you piece of sh*t"
"I'm not going to try and convince you. I have more important things to focus on.... Like the person in the hood for example"
"I don't give two sh*ts about who the f**k that is"
"What if I tell you they're after you?"
"Yeah right. I've never been away from my house except this last few days so why would they be after me when I don't even know anyone like that.........I mean don't they even have a name"
"I don't know why they're after you, I don't even know if they have a face or if it is a male or female. Whoever it is goes by that name and hides their face in a hood."
"Well ask one of your warewolve friends and leave me out of it"
"My warewolve friends don't know who it is either and I can't leave you out of it because it's you they want."
"And how do you know this?"
"I just do okay" he says but I know he's hiding something. He knows more than just what he's telling me.
"And why do you care a**hat?!" I yell at him out of fraustration
"Because I need you" He yells at me back and i stare at him in shock. I think he realizes what he had just said because he blinks more than once or twice.
"I mean...I need you to find someone....I need you to find my mate"
"Ok what?" I ask him honestly confused.
"The hood kidnapped my mate a year ago as revenge for what my father did to them and like I said the hood is after you which means they won't stop until they have you. When they eventually get to you, I need you to be near me so that I can attack them and force them to tell me where she is"
"Ok so let me guess this straight, I'm the bait?" I ask him because it's really not funny. I don't even know how dangerous this person is. Apparently Aaron finds it funny because he smirks and leans his head closer to me.
