My BFF's boyfriend is my mate

MATE!

Emma's P.O.V

After our reunion, we decided it was time to get ready to go to the party. of course Sophie wanted me to help her choose the right outfit and get ready, so we headed to her place. She lived in a very wealthy neighborhood in a very big mansion, considering it was just for her family and her. Packs usually live in very big places since they need to house almost every member inside the pack's property, and the biggest house is for the Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and their respective families. Everyone else could either live in the houses provided by the Alpha, or live outside the pack like my family and I do.

My parents are teachers. My father is an English teacher and my mother teaches Spanish, so they love languages. They work in the same high school where I study, which is why we live outside of the pack and why I don't study at the pack's school. We live a very normal, almost human, life. We're not rich, but I have never wanted for anything, and the few things my parents could not afford, I could borrow form Sophie that would never say no to me.

"What do you think about this?" Sophie asked while holding a red mini dress with very thin strings one will need to wear it without a bra.

"You will look really sexy, Soph." I told her truthfully.

"This one's not for me, you dummy. It's for you!" She said throwing me the dress.

"What? Why? I have absolutely no one to impress over there!" I didn't want to go to the Alpha's house almost naked. Sophie may not know what I am, but they'll definitely know.

"Who says you aren't? Kyle has so many hot friends that maybe one will catch your eye and we could be double dating in no time!" I was afraid she would come up with something like that; but on the other hand, she might be right. I never go to any of the pack's events, so I could end up meeting my mate tonight. And if my thoughts were right, Sophie was Alpha Kyle's mate, so as soon as they become official, she would be able to know about werewolves and I could tell her my secret as well. This was perfect!

"You know what? You're right! I could be meeting the love of my life tonight. I might as well look hot." I told her feeling confident.

By the time we finished getting ready, it was almost 10pm. It was totally worth it, though. Sophie looked like a princess in a white dress while I looked smoking hot in my red one.

"Oh! I almost forgot." Said Sophie when we were about to leave. "Here" She unclasped a necklace and handed it to me.

"Oh my God! Where did you find it? I thought I'd lost it!" She returned the locket I thought I lost the whole summer. It was a gift from my grandmother whom I loved with my whole heart that when she passed away it became my talisman. She gifted it to me when I was born and put inside our picture and the strand of my first haircut.

"You left it in the jacket you lent to me for my trip. you were wearing it, remember? by the time I realized I had it, I was already on the plane. I wore it the whole summer so I wouldn't lose it. I hope you don't mind." She admitted while blushing.

"You hope I don't mind? Soph, you just saved my life! You know this is my most important possession and you took care of it like it was me. Thank you so much!" I told her hugging her.

I was sweating buckets when we arrived at the pack house. I was so nervous and my wolf Ella was uneasy. "What's wrong Ella?" I asked her.

"I don't know. I feel... excited, nervous like something's gonna happen." She answered.

"Something good, or something bad?" She was rubbing it on me.

"I don't know. I just... wait! Do you smell that?" She asked me excitedly.

"Yes. It's like sandalwood with another thing I can't get, but it's addicting!" I was about to go search for the source of the smell when Sophie brought me back to planet earth.

"Em. Are you ok? You were sniffing like a dog." She ask with a worried face.

"Ah, yes. It's ok. I'm ok. I just smelled food. I guess I'm hungry hahaha." I said trying to play it cool.

"Hahaha It's ok. Well get you something after you meet Kyle. Oh, here he comes!" She said while pointing at someone. "Babe! Over here!" She called him.

To say that he was the most handsome man on earth was to fall short. He was muscular, but not too much. He was very tall, even for werewolves, but not in a scary way. He was strawberry blonde with very deep eyes that screamed...

"MATE!" My wolf shouted.
