Her Chosen Mate

Chapter 3

It has been a total of 4 months since I was kidnapped from my pack Midnight Shreek but my life here in my 'new pack' hasn't been too bad. Come to find out the only reason that Colby took me from my old pack was that he indeed did need a mate but no one wanted to be with him because he belonged to the most dangerous rouge pack Bloody Moon. Yes, they were tiny but were ultimately scary when they needed to be. He didn't mate me like he told my pack 4 months ago but he would rather date me before we made a big decision about mating. I like it here with them because they aren't scary at all or blood-thirsty.

They are the sweetest people that I have ever met in my whole life. They took care of each other better than any pack I have ever seen in my life. When one of the pups fell ill the woman of the pack came together to take turns to care for him until he got better or when one of the member's house burned to the group they all came together to repair and rebuild that person's house in less than a week. However, there was one pack member who did not like me and that was Fransisca who was the Gamma's daughter. She claimed that the Alpha was her mate and no one else's. See I did not find out that the Alpha was Colby until she said something when he brought me to the pack.

Her favorite pass time was abusing me every chance she got via name-calling or 'accidentally hitting me' in gym class. I haven't told Colby about it because I don't think that he needs to know. Fransisca will often wait until I am alone to call me a w***e or a mate snatcher or a homewrecker. I have no intentions of getting mated to anyone for a long time because yes a mate will bring you so much joy but at the same time, they will only bring heartbreak. See my father lost my mother 3 years ago when I was 16 to illnesses because, unlike my father who is a werewolf my mother was a human, so what couldn't affect werewolves affected her greatly.

I miss my mother greatly but I know that she is always with me. Anyway, Colby invited me out to go eat at this new restaurant that is in town so I decided to go with him. I checked my outfit in my mirror and liked what I saw which was me in some tight blue jeans, a black tank top, and black high-top boots. My short black hair has been styled into a nice pixie cut with red roses in my hair and I applied some light makeup just to give myself a little flare. As I made my way down the hall to the living room I ran into Fransisca who I really did not feel like seeing.

"Well well well look what we got here," said Fransisca. "We got a little w***e here on her way out to go steal my man huh. " she snarled. "Look I do not have time to deal with you Fransisca and he isn't your mate so you need to cool it," claimed Mia who has finally had enough of her s**t and was ready to knock her out. "Look here he is my mate and when I turn 19 he will realize that I am his mate!" screamed Fransisca as she stormed off to her room and slammed the door. "What is up with her today Mia?" said Colby.

I turned around and smiled at him and hugged him. "Oh, she keeps saying that you are her mate but we both know that you aren't her mate at all," Mia says as she rolls her eyes as Colby looks at her like she is crazy. "Well okay then," says Colby with a weird look on his face. "Anyway, I wanted to take you out today since it is your birthday today and wanted to make it special for you!" Colby said with some happiness in his voice. Mia looked at him with a look of surprise.

"Oh is it really that time of year again?!" Mia exclaimed in surprise and looked at the calendar on the wall and sure enough, it was her birthday today. "Yeah it is any next year you will turn 19 and then we can mate!" said Colby while smiling and rubbing his neck shyly. Mia looked at him and lowered her eyes to the ground while frowning. She didn't know how she was going to tell him that she didn't want to mate at all because she doesn't want a mate. Mia just looked up and smiled at him and said "Yeah maybe we could do that." Colby promptly smiled at her and hugged her gently. Mia had come to feel something in her chest that she knew that she shouldn't feel for the man in front of her and that was the feeling of love.
