My Human Mate.

Cara POV

I didn't know if Jake forgot that today was our anniversary, probably not, maybe he just wanted to surprise me, but this time I wanted to be the first to prepare something special for him so I had left work far earlier than normal heading home to cook his favourite dish and decorate the house. I and Jake had been in a relationship for four years now and I had this feeling that finally he would propose, I knew that his excuse for the past years was that he wanted to find a good job so we both won't live in poverty but I didn't mind working hard to support the family, I've already began planning some little business I would do to help out.

I had a bright smile on my face when I walked in to the house I shared with Jake. But there was something strange. The door wasn't locked; I was sure I locked it before I went to work and Jake wasn't to be back home to much later; I walked in but then I saw laying on the floor a female purse; it didn't belong to me, I picked it up confused, did Jake buy this for me?, but then I saw the bra and panties laying on the floor, which also didn't belong to me. Then I heard the sounds.

"Fuck, harder Jake" A girl from up the stairs moaned out, my brain wasn't processing anything as I walked up the stairs, to our room, the same room I shared with Jake and there they were, he had a red-haired girl bent over as he fucked her, their moans filling the room.

"Fuck baby, yes" He growled as he pounded into her and I stood there, shocked, confused, so much feelings all at once. I did recognise the girl, she was supposed to be Jake's ex-girlfriend. I couldn't move an inch, it was like me feet wouldn't cooperate with the rest of my body anymore, the pain built up in my chest, exploding through my whole body, he had told me he loved me, that we would live together, that we would have the happily ever after that had always been my dreams, he made promises to me and staring at the both of them, I still can't believe my eyes, I and Jake had been friends since we were little, I always loved him but was afraid to show my feelings, finally when I did, I was so happy to discover he loved me back, but now watching the both of them on the same bed we made love, I wonder what the hell had been going on between the both of us all these years because it was clear that it hadn't been love.

Finally, he noticed me and flung off the bed.

"Oh shit, this is not what is seems like Cara, please hear me out!"

Finally, I could move and I raced down the stair, tears dripping down my eyes, I hadn't even realised when I began crying, but all I feel is pain, it hurts, I loved him with my all, there was just nobody else, not even in my dreams, he had always been the man I loved; I was ready to sacrifice everything and anything for him and it hurts that I had only been the one in the bubble, all those times I had gone out to work my ass out to make sure he was happy, I never knew he didn't love me, that was the reason he never wanted to marry me and the truth hurts.

"Please Cara, wait!" he called out as he finally got hold of me and I turned to him, but I couldn't look him in the eyes. He was a disgrace.

"Get those filthy hands off me, you cock-sucking bitch. How could you!" I cried out unable to hold the tears, "How could you do this to me Jake, I trusted you, I gave you every single thing, I loved you Jake, how could you break my heart like this, I thought you loved me, I thought you were the one person in this world who cares..."

"I do love you, it was a mistake, please give me a chance to show you that this is not the person I am" he says but when I look in his eyes I don't see it, I don't see the love, I don't see regret, all these while, I had been the blind one, I had fallen into his trap, I had loved him for the most of my life and maybe it was the desperation that blinded me from the fact that he only wanted to use me.

"Give you a chance?, you lied to me Jake, I never questioned your disappearance, you never left your ex-girlfriend did you? You claim it's a mistake, but it will only be considered a mistake if someone catches you. How many times Jake, How many times did you cheat on me?" I asked, tears flooding down my eyes, I couldn't think, it was all like a dream, it was just... too much.

"I can.."

"How many fucking times!" I screamed out to him, the urge to hit something very strong and I was never the physical type, I wanted to hurt him, I wanted him to feel even a portion of what I was feeling now. I watch my dreams scatter to pieces. From the look in his eyes, I knew the answer. He had cheated on me far more than he could count. I had come to surprise him for our anniversary, only to find him fucking his ex-girlfriend.

"Did you ever love me?, or was I just another desperate girl on your list?" I ask, I needed to know if all this years I had been dreaming, if I had been the fool all these years, all that went on between us couldn't be a lie, it just couldn't be, had all those words he had said to me been the same words he repeated to every other unfortunate girl that he managed to trap in his web of lies?. The few seconds of silence he takes to answer the question is enough for me to know the answer.

"Of course I love you, I always did"

"You really are an asshole, go back to your bitch, you both deserve each other," I say to him as I walk out of the door. This time, he didn't follow.

I ran down the street; the tears blinding my vision, my heart in shreds. Just a few minutes ago, I had entered into the house optimistic. I foolishly thought he wanted to propose to me finally. I should be grateful that I didn't get married to a cheat like him but with the pain am feeling right now, common reasoning seems like the most complex thing.

I fell to my knees when I could run no more and I screamed out, yet I the pain wouldn't stop. Maybe I just wasn't good enough.

(Cara POV)

"He is a total dick," Sophia cursed out. "How could he do that to you?"

"Maybe I'm not beautiful enough," I say, shrugging as if that statement didn't hurt or bother me when it really did.

"No, I won't let you stay here all day crying over him because he sure as hell doesn't deserve your tears and I know a way to cool you out. Let's go to a club. You find a man and spend a night with him"

I rolled my eyes. Sophia was my friend, but our lifestyles were two words apart. She believed alcohol and sex could cure anything, but I wasn't in the mood for a party right now let alone meeting with another man.

"And how would going to the club and finding a man help me? I don't need that right now Sophy, I just need to give myself a few hours of sleep and rest"

"No Cara, he treated you like garbage, you are doing this to tell yourself that you are far ahead of him, he don't get to make you a mess why he goes fuck a whore on the bed you two shared, fuck him Cara, now I want you to put on those big girl's panties because we are going to a bar and I would be getting you a man to make you forget the little bitch that thinks he is a man," she says, if only she knew that a single day with any guy can't make me forget the years I wasted loving Jake, but still yet, she was right, he didn't deserve my tears, damn he didn't deserve me, maybe I could just drown myself in alcohol and sooth the pain I'm feeling now.

"You know what, Sophy?, fuck him, fuck that ass-licking bitch of a man and we are going to the party"

"That's the spirit girl," she said with a wide smile, happy she had finally convinced me, like always.

~

Two hours later, it was already midnight, I and Sophia arrived at the club in very revealing dresses that made me feel weird. We quickly paid the taxi before walking towards the club.

"Shit, we aren't with our ID cards, forgot mine in my purse," I say to her, pausing.

"Oh, come on, all you need to do is flash this big boys over there a sexy smile and they'll let you in," she said, but I wasn't convinced. As soon as we reached the door, Sophy nodded to me as she drew down her dress a little to expose more of her cleavages and that was enough to let the both of us in.

"Wow, that was amazing"

"Girl power. So first things first you need a drink," she said as she lead me to the bar. The bar attender was handsome with brown curly hair. He stared at me a second too long.

"What would I be getting for you beautiful girls?" he asked, his eyes still on me.

"Something real strong," Sophia answered with a wink and that made the bar attender smirk. ,"And she's single now," Sophia said pointing at me, causing me to instantly blush.

"How could a girl like you still be single?" he asked, surprised. I decided not to mention Jake. Thinking about him alone hurt. I needed those strong drinks fast.

"Well, I'm always busy," I say, waving him off and he went to work, mixing strange liquids.

"What are you doing Cara? You came here to have fun," Sophia whispered to me.

"And I will have fun," I decided. The bar attender dropped the two glasses before us.

"Consider your drinks covered," he said to me with a play-boyish smirk

I took mine, gulping it all at once. Sophia looked surprise but there was a smirk on her face as she passed me her own drink and soon I believed I was far beyond tipsy.

"Check out that hottie sitting over there," Sophia said to me and I turned to see him, staring a second too long, long enough that he caught me.

"He caught me staring," I muttered back to Sophy as I tried to hide my face

"He's like the sexiest guy I've ever seen. You should go for him"

"What?" I asked surprised

"You did want to have fun, don't you? Now he's just there and oops, I think you got his full attention cause now he's like watching you intently... that hot hot gaze is all on you girl"

I turn around again; he was seated at the VIP section and she was right, he was like the sexiest man on the planet another reason why I shouldn't go for him, he must have a girl friend somewhere and if he needed to have fun he would have picked any of the girl at the club but he didn't and he was staring straight at me with so much intensity that I could feel the heat building up, my heart pounding fast, what the hell was wrong with me, I have never reacted to a man like that, not even Jake, just by looking at him I already had many unkind pictures going through my head.

"I can't go for him"

"Why!"

"Because, just take a look at him and all those guys he's with, they look really dangerous with their black tuxedo and all, I don't think they are here for any of 'that' kind of fun"

"Come, he's watching you. All you have to do is just walk up to him and offer to give him a lap dance. Any man would be crazy to reject that and from a person like you, no man would reject it and besides, you promised to enjoy yourself and forget about Jake"

"A lap dance?, you know I'm bad at those kinda stuff" I should have known that it won't be all easy for me like she made it seemed when she was talking me into coming here.

"You have to prove to yourself that you are way more than what Jake took you for. I want you to have fun and thank me later"

If only she knew that Jake was nowhere in my mind anymore and that by just staring at this strange hot guy alone, it was enough to bring up feelings I have never felt, ever.

"Okay" I agree, maybe it was the alcohol cause I would never dare attempt a thing like this in my right senses, I wobble around a bit in my drunken state and I turn back to Sophie who gave me a thumb up so I walk more slowly this time to him, afraid I might fall on my butt and disgrace myself, but he's also watching me with the most beautiful sets of emerald green eyes I've ever seen, the perfect skin and thick black hair that he tied at the nape of his neck and I wondered how unfair it was for a human being to be created with so much beauty, finally I walked up to him, he doesn't say a word and I feel this need to walk past him and pretend I was never coming his way but it was too late, the other two men seating beside him were also watching me, I couldn't chicken away now, his presence alone was doing some weird things to me and it was getting incredibly hard to breathe.

"Can I interest you in a lap dance?" I ask with a smile and to my surprise, he acutally smirked and for a minute I'm lost in his eyes until his words snap me out.

"Who am I to refuse a beautiful girl like you" and just those simple words are enough to weaken my kneels, still I manage to walk closer and take my position on his laps, I couldn't help but notice how perfect it felt, the other two men say nothing, they were completely mute there was just something strange about them and that only enticed me more, I've never been the type to run straight to danger but this sort of danger was alluring.

The song changed, it was actually my favourite song and then I began rocking my hips round his body, hoping I'm doing it well and not looking as foolish as I picture it to be, but then his hands circled around my waist, holding me closer to him and I feel a strange kind of shock as soon as he's skin made contact with mine, I wondered if it was all in my mind, it might be the alcohol playing tricks on my mind, his hands so warm and hot... so masculine and beautiful, it felt so good against my skin as he trailed his hands up my throat, I could feel myself get wet and he smirk, like he knew, but that was impossible, right?

There was a sound that rumbled from his chest when I went a little closer and I could feel him hardened against me, I thought that sounded like a something an animal would make, but his hands on my waist rocking me against him couldn't let me think about that, never have I wanted a man like I wanted him now, this was going far beyond a lap dance, his hands trailing up my thighs, to my wetness expertly like he had already memorized ever single inch of me as soon as his hands found my wetness he made that sound again and that seemed to snap me out, that did sound more like an animal than the first. The song stopped and I was about to rise to my feet, that's if my kneels were not too week to walk, but then he held me down, I try again but it seemed useless, he was extremely strong and that's when the alarm bell seem to blow up in my mind, this people were really dangerous and why the hell did I pick him out of all the men in the club.

"Mine," he growled in my ears and there was something about the word that made me more wet- if that was even possible.

"I don't belong to anybody" I managed to say, but my voice was really small and I sounded afraid, well that was because I was afraid.

I looked towards Sophia to help me out, but she didn't seem to get the info, I tried again to escape from his arms and this time he let's me go, I almost trip over my own feet when I hastened away from him, all I knew for sure was that there was something really dangerous about those people and I shouldn't be in this party a second longer.

As I gasped for breath, I made my way to Sophia, who was completely absorbed in a conversation with a nice looking man. Judging by the way she looked at him, I was convinced she had plans to spend the night with him.

"We have to go, quickly" I say to her, sparing one more glance at the handsome and charming freak, he was still watching me... like he could hear me all the way from over there, that was impossible. "Now!" I say to Sophia, who watched me strangely and then looked over to the handsome weirdo and back to me.

"What the hell is going on?, like you were both sexy dovey and now you look afraid, did he hurt you?" she asked staring at me in concern

"No, he didn't, let's just go" I say, and she nodded, kissing the stranger she had been talking to good bye before following me out of the club and into a taxi, only when we were a safe distance away did I finally let out a breath.

What the hell just happened?

(Cara POV)

"What the hell Cara?, there better be a very good reason to why you made me miss that night I was day dreaming to have with Ken" Sophia said with an unmistakable edge to her voice, she really was furious that I spoiled the fun for her, I bet she was regretting bringing me over to the club.

"So you even remember his name, that means you did like this dude"

"Of course, good thing I was able to get his phone number. So tell me you at least got hottie's number to at least"

"No, I didn't... when I was like lap dancing I think he growled"

"That's a good thing.. some do that," Sophia argued, "It means he likes it"

"No, he growled like some kind of animal. He did it the first time and then the second"

"Darling, that's why is not advisable to drink that so much you know, considering that you don't drink a lot... or at all, but I'm glad you seemed to have forgotten about Jake even if it was for this few hours"

"No, I knew what I heard, and he was like 'mine'. He actually called me his, like who does that?"

"Maybe a freak, but he's a hot one though, and that did sound sexy, so was that what got into your pants, I thought he had done something else to scare you?"

"You don't get it Sophia, I didn't know why I had to pick him, he felt... strange, all of them did and when I wanted to get up and leave, he didn't allow me at first"

"Well, that's no big deal, the plan was that you would end up banging him and you only managed a lap dance, you turned him on maybe he enjoyed it that's why he didn't want you to go, he did finally let you go after all"

She was right. Maybe it could have been the alcohol messing with my mind. I wasn't even sure he growled; it was definitely the alcohol.

"I'm sorry for messing up your time," I say as I lean against the car seat.

"I did this for you, so it's totally okay and you did have a pleasant time with Mr. Hot Freak, didn't you?"

My cheeks reddened and, of course, Sophia didn't miss that either. "Okay, maybe he was very hot, and the dance was sexy and all... but that's how far I can go through the crazy road, So i'll be going right back to my usual life, but this time of course it won't be with Jake"

"You know you can stay at my place, just in case you feel lonely"

"Oh, there is no need for that, I'll just stay the night and by tommorow I'll be right back at my house"

"Would you be okay?" she asked, but I wasn't even thinking about Jake anymore, all I thought about was the guy at the club, the way his hands felt against my skin, running up my thigh...

~

In the morning I woke up with a hangover. After taking some pills, I took a quick cold shower to clear my head.

"Are you sure you want to go back to your house now?, all alone?"

"Yes, Sophia, but I would still visit though I might be facing a very angry boss by tomorrow as I would be skipping work today".

"I don't know why you still work in that shabby place, you got the skills to open your own business and stuff"

"Well, I got the skills, but without the money is effortless. I gotta go and don't forget to call Ken. I only hope maybe you could try him out and not just have a single fuck with him and that's it"

"Well, I lose interest in them after sex, so you can't really blame me," she muttered, going back to sleep. Sophia wasn't an early riser.

I hadn't been to my own personal house for two months, so there would be a shitload of cleaning and arranging to do, but then I walked into the house. I had this strange feeling, like someone was inside.

"Hello" I called out as I walked in. "Anybody?"

No response.

I felt like a fool, of course there was nobody in the house, I walk to the fridge which was empty except from a single carton of milk; I took it out, drinking it directly from the carton when I heard the voice, the same voice that sent chills down my body.

"Cara, what a beautiful name" he said, his voice so low and yet filled with so much power that It didn't feel normal. It was the Hottie freak from the club, sitting on one of the dinning chairs like he owned the damn house.

"You left so fast, even before I could tell you my name" his voice was deep and rich, just his voice alone was able to bring back the strange feeling in me, that strange want.

"What do you want from me?, how did you find me and how do you know my name? I never told you that," I asked, my heart pounding, maybe he had always been stalking me, I was sure it wasn't Sophy to tell him.

"I don't want anything from you, I only want you"

"I'm not interested," I say as I reach desperately for my phone. It was on the table just a few steps away.

"Don't do that" he said without looking at me, "It would take me less than a second to get to the table and pick up the phone" he said as he stared at a picture I never noticed he held, a picture I left in my room.

"Who is this?" he asked, turning the picture to me, I recognised it even without looking, this was a pic of Jake and I, I had many pictures of him in my room but still it was strange, the Hot freak going through my stuff, standing in my house and asking me who the guy in a pic he found in my room was.

"Is none of your business, leave or I would call the police"

"Who is this?" he growled out, ignoring my question and I heard it again, the animalistic sound. This time I was sure it hadn't been some alcohol playing with my head.

"That was my boyfriend," I say

I watch in fear as his eyes darkened. I could swear that the colour had sparks of gold in that once completely emerald eyes. What the hell was happening and why was it making me scared and at the same time turned on?

He walked closer to me, like a predator. With each step forward he took, I took one backward till my back was against the wall.

"You are mine, no one else" he whispered to me again

"I don't belong to anyone, now get the hell out of my house"

"I can perceive your lust in the air, your body seems to disagree with you," he says with a smirk that looked... wolfish.

Okay, now this was getting worse. How does he know what I was feeling right now? What exactly is he?

"How did you know my name?" I ask for the second time

"I heard your friend call you... Cara. It is a beautiful name"

For some strange reasons, I loved the way my voice sounded against his lips and I wanted to hear it again, over and over.

"But how could you?.."

He cuts off my words with a rough kiss against my lips; I try pushing him away but it was only halfheartedly, my body seemed to have a mind of his own and finally I gave in, kissing him back as I wonder what the hell is going on with me and why he affected me in this way, like some kind mind racking addiction.

"I scent him on you. No other person should have what belongs to me, might as well kill him"

"Wait, what?" I mumbled, my brain still not able to process his words.

"You know what I want to do right now?, I want to fuck him off you. I want you to know that no other person could fuck you like I would and I want to prove that to you every single day"

His words should scare me, so unfiltered, but instead it only caused me to shiver in anticipation, here I was, still against the wall, I had given up on trying to push him away; it didn't make sense that a total stranger could believe he owned me, I must really be bad at picking guys, Jake was a cheater and I just never knew, this hottie making me feel different things all at once was a freak.

His hands traced up my thigh again, just like last night and my knees were all weak my breath were coming out like pants.

"You want this, don't you?" He asks, his voice taunting. He kisses my neck down to my expose cleavages, but then he halted.

"Your scent," he says looking a bit troubled, "Why do you scent so strongly like a human?"

"Wait what do you mean?, you are freaking me out now" I say finally pushing myself off him, "Why are you calling 'human' like you from another planet"

"I don't scent your wolf, I thought it was my senses last night"

Okay, it's official, this hottie is crazy, and he got to leave, what the hell was he talking about wolves and humans, this was beyond crazy, if he wouldn't leave then maybe I would. I picked up my jacket hurrying out of the house, but just in a second, he was right in front of me, he had been beside me a second ago he was some feet away, my jaw was literally on the floor.

"What the hell was that?"

"Where are you going Cara?" he asks, ignoring my question, it wasn't just him alone but his aurora, there was something strong, domineering and dark about it.

"I'm going... home" I stutter, trying to walk past him, but this time he don't let me.

"This is not your home, this places you go to, they aren't home, what pack did you come from?, you can't possibly be a human" he said and I could see a little irritation pass through his eyes and that maddens me even if i was completely lost with all the strange words.

"I don't know what you are and I really don't want to, but I am human, now please just let me go and I promise no one would know about any of these" I say trying to plead with him, but he wasn't even listening to me.

"I can't possibly be given me a human as a mate. How is that even possible? A weak human. You can't be their Luna. A simple Omega would easily outstrength you," he said, intensely watching me as if waiting for me to say something. However, I had nothing to say because the words "Luna," "Omega," "mate," "pack," and "wolf" were the words I had encountered in stories about werewolves. I wasn't much of a reader, but I had come across those names... titles like these.

"Let me get this straight. I am your mate and the supposed Luna of a pack?"

"Yes, but never in history have a werewolf been given a human as a mate"

"Maybe... that's because you have been mistaken" I say with a nervous laugh, "I'm not the girl you're looking for, your..." the words felt weird in my mouth, "Mate, she's somewhere out there, maybe in the woods.."

"You think this is some kind of joke?" he asks, his eyes darkening. He looked furious, scary, and when he spoke, I thought I saw fangs peaking out of his mouth. He slams me against the wall and his touch alone sent that strange sparks ringing through me. "Don't you feel the sparks?, When I'm close to you, don't you feel the sexual energy?" he asks and I'm surprised, how the hell did he know, but the question on my mind was did he feel everything I felt too, did he feel the sparks and the sexual energy?.

"Yes," he answers, like he could read my mind. Did I mistakenly say those things out?

"Did I say that... out loud?"

"No, you said it through the mind link"

"The mind link... okay, that's another weird word. I really did have a fun time with you, but I need to go to work now and I would love it if you just let me go", that was a lie, I wasn't planning on going to work today, what I really want to do was run away, anywhere far away from the weirdo and maybe straight to the police.

"No," he said like I had asked the world most stupid question

"What do you mean by no?"

"You would be coming home with me, to my pack as my mate"
