Chapter 2 Has A Mate

Deluna Hansen.

"It's nice to have you here, alpha Hansen." But I can barely mistake the hatred in his voice as love and the contemptuous smile on his face as a good one. A plan for tonight? Oh yeah, it's full moon tonight.

" And you make me wonder, why the hell would you organize such an important party during full moon?" But I don't wait for him to reply. I cover up my scorn for him and put on a smile. "See you around, Caleb." I challenge him to a raging fight by calling him directly with his first name to see his reaction. I smirk when I see his eyes almost glowing. I like this, always loved it.

"Don't spoil the party, Caleb." I wink at him and move back. I turn my still weak self around and trudge to the bar.

"Valpolicella, please." I give my order as I slip into a bar stool.

"Italian?" The red haired bartender tries to start a conversation and being aware of the fact that Caleb is still around watching me with some other enemies, I pick it up.

"Half caste." I answer as he takes out a bottle of the wine and a wine glass. He helps to tear its tab and pours some for me. "You're pretty." He complements and I smile. I've always been pretty but I keep my ego down. This is a human, not some fucking werewolf or vampire.

"Thanks." I tell him and take the glass as he turns his attention to another customer. I lift the glass to my mouth and gulp the whole content down. I plop the glass on the bar and glance around the party. It's booming and filled, obviously not just with human, but also with immortals. Vampires. Werewolves. Hybrids. Alphas. And a few witches. What a party! And looking around, I can tell the fact that I ain't the hottest here. Would've enjoyed being but with vampires and witches and humans too. And damn, the party's filled with illegitimate acts making me wonder if Zia is safe.

A twinge of feeling hits me and I feel my wolf suddenly awaking, fighting against the wolfsbane effect. Excitement. Anxiety. Not because it's full moon, but because of something. That feeling strikes me again making me look around. That feeling only means one thing: my mate is here, right in the fucking party! I turn around and my eyes catch his gaze on me. Black orbs, full brows, dark hair, pierced ears, tattooed arm, cute moustache and stubble. Mate, my human mate! The hell, why would I be mated to a human?! Damnit, and a hot one. My wolf starts to spur me to grab him and kiss him already but I don't. I hate this moment... I, the most respected female alpha getting mated to one weak human. Not even a fucking beta... What's that?

I snap my eyes away from him and fighting against my wolf, I turn around and grab my bottle of wine. No doubt, I am feeding myself with alcohol 'til I get wasted tonight. But do werewolves ever get wasted? And an alpha? That'll surely be my question to answer.

-

The first thing that greets me when I open my eyes is the bright morning sun rays and that feeling of having an hangover. Being tired! Alcohol is a poison and hangover is a disease. Werewolves are immune to poison, not so immune to disease so that means my wolf will only start the healing process now that I'm awake.

And where the fuck am I?! I don't remember getting drunk last night nor do I remember closing my eyes. Abducted? La fucking Caleb?!

"Good morning." I hear and alarmed, I jerk to my feet jumping out of the bed. But I see a wrinkled old lady. Who is she?

"Where am I?" I demand, glancing down at her outfit. She's dressed like a... A palace maid?! Where the hell is this place?! And this room... I didn't disappear back to the 19s, did I?

"You spent the night here. Master asked me to bring you these clothes." And I realize, I am bare. Fucking naked! Oh, shit. And master? You don't want to tell me I was taken advantage of by one creature. I should be in my fucking office, working on some fucking thing right now, not in this fucking place! Forgive me, I'm a big time curser! I grab the materials from old nonne and she bows before walking away. I watch her disappear through a door and shut the door behind her. I turn back to the low mattress I had found myself on and drop the clothes. I slip my body into it and it's a white gown, a barely fitting one. I brush my hair to the back with my hands. And without footwears on, I walk out of the room through the door old nonne had taken. It leads to a hallway and a staircase. Descending the stairs, the first thing I sight is that naked back and that familiar tattooed arm with sagging shorts. Hot penned bums, fuck! Old nonne's master?

"Good morning." His voice is deep and heavily built, strapping, showing his dominance and superiority over every other thing that exists in the room. Of course, he should be the master of the house. But not only the master of the house... My wolf starts spurring me to consume the whole of him in bed already and even my human body starts reacting to the heat between us. But I bet he barely feels something.

"It's Cinque Terre."WTF! Cinque Terre, in Italy?! Is he fucking kidding me right now?! Tell me he's joking. But then, I can hardly doubt that. To begin with, I don't even know how and for how many hours I slept. I mean what the hell is he to get my unconscious self here, and without my consent?! But even before I can talk, he spins around on his feet and throws a bag to me. It almost bumps into my face, but then, it narrowly misses me and falls beside me.

"Get dressed in that, we're going for hiking." Say what?! Who the hell orders a Luna that way?! Sure, he doesn't even knows who I am. And I'm still trying to guess who the fuck is before me. Wait... One mafia Lord or what?! But then, I'm Luna, alpha Deluna Hansen of Crystal Promise pack, not an ordinary human and it won't take me a minute to waste his life!

"Well," I begin and stop, a smirk playing on my lips as I stride to him, slowly, swaying my hips in the oversized gown. I'm going to teach him a bitter lesson that'll leave him shivering for days, with my words. I hate the fact that I'm being mated to a human, but killing my wolf would only bring disarray to my reputation. I stop when I reach him and I lay my hands on his perfect, naked abs. Perfect? Even more than perfect, hot!

"You don't know me, darling."I say, looking up and trying to intimidate him with my stare while I turn my fingers to claws. Just a bruise won't hurt, will it?

"Not human. Werewolf. Alpha of Crystal Promise pack. Deluna Hansen. 23, and powerful." He says and even before I can pierce my nails into his skin, he captures them in a hand. Wait... How does he knows all that?! He's human, I can't be wrong.

"And," he stops and wraps his other arm around me, with his forehead leaning down against mine, he whispers, "You're my mate. Mine."

The alpha spirit in me is weak and the part of my wolf that wants to kiss my mate badly starts to take over. I want to push him away and tell him I would never be mated to a weak human but due to his closeness, I'm too unstable to even control myself.

"Mine alone." He says and brings his face even more closer, letting his nose brush against mine.
