Maeve Dixon

I find Harrison entertaining, more like scaring, the young pups of the Braska Pack.

"They say he was the scariest Alpha ever seen" the pups all gasp and hug one another.

"Then when he became a rogue he lost his humanity. He's still able to shift back and forth but his wolf is in control. He roams the woods, waiting for little wolf pups to get lost in them. Then he eats them!" Harrison shouts, scaring the pups.

I walk up to one of the little boys and put him on my hip. He hugs me, Harrison definitely gave them all nightmares.

"It's just a story" I glare a Harrison.

"Lighten up Maeve" Harrison jokes.

I put the little boy down with his friends and drag Harrison outside.

"What the fuck was that Haz" I yell at him.

When it comes to the pups I'm super soft. They are the next generation after all.

"Chill, I was just telling them about the big scary Alpha" He puffs his chest out.

"I'll make sure to make the 'big scary Alpha' let me kill you myself" I smirk.

"Don't be like that Mae. You know you love me" He fake pouts.

"Don't push it" I point my finger at him.

"What did you come here for?"

"Your father said that the ceremony is tomorrow instead of friday" I roll my eyes.

"Hey..." he grabs me by the waist and pulls me in "we're doing this for the pack and because we don't have mates" he kisses me on my forehead.

"What if one of us finds our mate?" I hug him.

"We'd already be bonded because of the ceremony so we will become mates, meaning if one of us finds out mate, they'll just be normal to us" Harrison hugs me back.

"I still can't believe we're doing this"

"You know when we were pups I always wished you would turn out to be my mate" He laughs

"Oh really?" I tease him and look up at him.

"Mhmm" he looks at my lips and licks his own.

He leans down and I meet him halfway. Harrison kisses me with lust and desire. I return his kiss with the same, jumping up and wrapping my legs around his waist. I deepen the kiss and Harrison walks to our secret spot.

For the past three years we only really started our relationship. We've been best friends since diapers and we both decided it would be best to become mates through the ceremony because we were the only one's without mates.

16 is the age that you can find your mate, knowing it's them. Harrison knew his mate is probably dead because when he turned 16 he felt like half of him was missing. Me, however, still felt like my mate was out there.

There's no denying the sexual attraction between Harrison and I but other than that we aren't lovers at heart, we're best friends. We haven't slept together yet since a) we aren't mates and b) we are waiting till after the ceremony, when the bond is at its peak.

As we arrive at our secret spot we climb the ladder and enter the treehouse we made when we were 10. When we are both inside, Harrison continues kissing me. Only this time his wolf is coming out. His steel blue eyes glow and he growls into the kiss.

"Har...ri...son" I say between his lustful kisses.

"Yes, baby?" He stops, his eyes turning back to normal.

"Hide and seek?" I ask with a playful grin.

"The soon-to-be Luna wants to play hide and seek. Mature Mae, real mature" He laughs.

I jump out of the treehouse, landing on my feet. Looking back up, I see Harrison smirking. He wants to play dirty.

"See you out there, baby" I say seductively.

I start running away from him, circling the area a couple of times and running around the same tree to confuse him if he's following my scent. When I shift, my wolf runs faster than she's ever ran before.

She's...distressed? That's new.

She starts sprinting faster and masking her scent with the mud on the ground. I can't help but feel that she isn't doing this for hide and seek. Something's troubling her.

As she's running, she gets tackled by a large black wolf. Those steel blue eyes so familiar yet so vague. The wolf howls, showing his victory. My wolf kicks him off her and circles around him, snarling.

What is wrong with her?

The black wolf, Harrison, stands taller and puffs his chest out. He pounces at her but she dodges him and jumps on him while he's recovering from his fall. Now they are rolling around, playing with each other as if nothing happened.

Why was my wolf getting so defensive and why was she distressed?

We race back to the treehouse and shift. Harrison climbs up and gets the spare clothes, passing mine down to me so I can change before he gets down here. I quickly change and as on cue, Harrison climbs down and once he lands on the ground I jump on his back. He carries me back to the house and into our room.

We both have separate showers and get into bed. As soon as my head hits my pillow, I fall asleep. Harrison cuddles me from behind and nuzzles his nose into the crook of my neck.

The last thought on my mind is..."I'm becoming Harrison's mate and Luna tomorrow".
