Emerald's POV

"Hi honey, sorry I'm late." I hugged my boyfriend, who had just finished his lacrosse game, and there was no doubt that our pack team had won.

He shrugged, "Happy you're here now, I know you hate lacrosse."

Suddenly, the crowd erupted in cheers as they clapped for Blade, the MVP of the game. I didn't know him very well, all I was aware of was his constantly changing reputation. He's the bad boy in this school, the massive player, and also the enemy of our pack.

His father was part of our pack, but rebelled against them and decided to start his own before he died, leaving Blade in charge.

"I think you should be the MVP, not him." I said, glancing at Blade and looking back at Jared. "I hate him!"

He laughed with me and cockily agreed. By the time Jared got dressed, we were in the car together, and ready to go to the party.

"Jared, are you sure we should be going to Blades house? He's our enemy."

"Don't worry, he said it's just a party, nothing else. Our parents don't know it's his party." He chuckled and kissed my forehead

I loved how much treated me like a princess and cared for me.

Every time he touched me, I'd tingle and burn pleasurably.

Werewolves can shift when they turn 18, and also can find out their mate. Jared is about to turn 18, and I'm sure he had to be my mate. He must be.

The next morning, I came downstairs with a happy mood and saw my father and mother were having breakfast.

"Good morning, Mom and Dad,"I greeted.

"Good morning," they answered, and then dad asked, "Why did you get home so late last night?" "Jared and I went to the party, and you know, the game won." I said.

"Honey you're too attached to him. He may not be your mate," said mom.

I sigh, "Mom, he is. He has to be. I just know it."

"Isn't he turning 18 tonight?"

"Yeah, we'll find out if he's really my mate tonight, when he begins to shift." "What does he think?"

"He says we have to be mates."

"Guess we'll find out tonight," she muttered.
