I paused for a bit. What happened after that? I couldnât remember anything else. I clambered out of the bed as fast as I could and looked for my sisters. They were already eating breakfast while watching television. âWhat happened?â I asked as I walk towards them who were on the dining table. I saw their confused faces. âDid we go for a drink last night âcause I sure as hell donât remember anything.â I added and sat down on an empty seat beside Aya.
âWhat do you mean, Maya? We should be the one to ask you questions.â Freyaâs face showed a very worried expression. âWhere were you yesterday? Youâve been gone for almost 9 hours.â
I stared at her, completely shocked. It was impossible for me not to remember anything.
âYeah. We looked for you for hours.â Aya said before putting a spoonful of granola into her mouth. After swallowing it, she continued, âwe then decided to go back here, see if youâve returned, and as we expected, you were already sleeping. We tried to wake you up to ask you what happened to you but you just said you were really tired⊠so we let you sleep.â
âDid you tell themâMom and Dad?â I asked. Fear was so clear on my voice now. Where the hell did I go? Why couldnât I remember anything?
âNo. We were about to but then you were back already.â Freya answered. âDonât you really remember anything?â
âNadaâ I shrugged. Still confused and dizzy, I stood up from where I was sitting and head back to the room. âYou donât wanna eat?â Aya turned to my direction, her spoon still on her mouth. Yeah, sheâs a little pig. She eats almost anything. I donât know where she puts all the food though for she has a really slender and small body. Sheâs already 17 but still with a mind of 12-year old girl. Well, thatâs expected since sheâs the youngest. My parents love to baby and spoil her a lot.
âIâve got no appetite,â I said in a tired voice, still walking towards the room. âIâll just take a shower. Letâs go somewhere fun today. Surely I missed a lot of partying yesterday since I was out doing something I donât even rememberâ I joked. I just donât want them to worry anymore. We are in a vacation for crying out loud! We should be enjoying our stay!
Aside from the red marks though, there was something odd about me. I couldnât point a finger but I just feel so different. I felt so relaxed. Was I on drugs last night? Oh, great! I hope not or Iâll be damned.

We were walking down the streets of London. It was already past 10 in the morning. I sensed something. Iâm not sure but I felt like someoneâs been following us for awhile now. Iâm sure my sisters didnât notice anything because they were just looking at the shops, chatting and laughing their butt out. Well it was understandable since back at our home, I was considered one of the wolves with sensitive senses. That was why I was placed by my father as one of the packâs hunters. I was a tracker though, the one who sniffs and listens to my surroundings, since my fighting skills arenât that good. I mean Iâm not as skillful as Freya. Sheâs got the moves of a professional fighter. But she still maintains a body of a goddess. Well thatâs what I call her. You wouldnât even believe that she could fight like a real man until she shows you. Sheâs the prettiest among us girls. Aya on the other hand is the smartest. She loves solving problems and making ones. Annoying, thatâs her. The exception is Micah. He has everythingâsensitive senses, amazing fighting and cognitive skills. Itâs expected since heâs the son of the Alpha, the next in line.
âMai,â Aya calls me that a lot, âwhatâs wrong?â she asked and licked her strawberry flavored ice cream while Freya just looked at me, waiting for me to speak, her eyebrows shot up. I hadnât noticed I was already a few feet away from them. I must have stopped walking when I sensed something.
âNothing. I was justââ I immediately walked briskly towards them, worried that something might happen. But I donât want them to be alarmed with this. âLetâs just go. I want to see this placeâ I said and pointed on a picture on a brochure of places to visit while youâre in London. I smiled, not letting them see my uneasiness. Even my wolf was feeling queasy now. She was shouting and moving inside of me. Itâs like she wanted to get out. Whatâs wrong with you? I couldnât just transform here anytime as I please. Calm down! I tried talking to her but it worsened. She sensed something too. Now, Iâm in a panic. But I tried to hide it while we were walking.
I smelled something. It was a very relaxing aromaâa combination of mint, lavender and⊠coffee? Whatâs this? Itâs making me feel weird⊠a good kind of weird, I guess. Itâs getting stronger. The scent. Itâs coming from behind me. I looked around and saw nothing, no one strange. I walked as fast as I can, catching up with my sisters. But my wolf wants me to go to the opposite direction. Why am I feeling like this? I feel so overwhelmed. Dizzy. Weak. Strong. Happy. Horny? Wait⊠horny? Youâve got to be kidding me!
My knees were wobbly. The scent is so overpowering! Itâs like a drug. I looked again. And there, I found him, the guy who owns the scent. I stared into his eyes. And then it dawned to me. Seconds later, I realized who he was. My Mate. Memories from yesterday returnedâthe torture, the silver chains, the violent Alpha. My Alpha. My Mate.
âYouâ I managed to say but it was barely a whisper.
âCome with me.â he said in a calm yet seductive voice. I almost fainted hearing him speak to me. His voice is the most beautiful sound Iâve ever heard. I was lost in the moment. He reached his hand, waiting for me to take it and follow him. I was about to hold it, raising my hand to touch it, when I heard Freya said, âMaya, who is he?â
âM-my Mââ Before I even finish, he spoke.
âIâll explain later. We have no time. Follow me now.â Whatâs wrong? He seemed to be in a hurry. Feeling like it was okay to do so, we did as he said. We followed him. I should trust him. Heâs my mate after all. There was a car parked a block away from where we were. He let us in. In the driverâs seat, the boy I recognized from yesterday, Jake was holding the wheel. My mate sat next to him, on the passengerâs seat. I always call him my mate. Whatâs his name, anyway? I donât even know my Mateâs name and Iâm getting giddy and needy just seeing him.
âWhatâs exactly going on?â Freya asked, worried.
âSomeoneâs been following youâ my Mate said. âUhh⊠yeah, and that someone is youâ Aya interrupted, crossing her arms on her chest, slouching beside me on the back seat.
My mate looked at her in annoyance.
âAya!â I scolded her.
âWhat? I was just sayingââ
âEnough!â I scowled at her. She rolled her eyes but said nothing. I felt someoneâs gaze on the side of my face. I saw him, looking at me intently. The electricity is there again. Itâs like weâre on our own world. We didnât see anyone or anything else but us.
âUhh-ermâ Freya cleared her throat. She sensed the fire burning between me and my Mate. I turned away from his gaze, and he then set his eyes on the road. I felt embarrassed of what just happened. I felt my face turned crimson. Hesitant, I glanced to see Freya. Sheâs staring at me, as if waiting for an explanation. I just shrugged and mouthed the words âI donât knowâ to her. Her eyebrow arched and I could easily tell she didnât believe me. I sighed. âLaterâ I finally said.

We arrived at a place surrounded by treesâbig trees. It was just like I was back at our home. There was a big house in front of us. It was like a haunted house. Thereâs just something creepy about it. We exited the car and looked around for a while. I caught a glimpse of my Mate. Heâs just too glorious. I just want to hug him, kiss him, and be with him all the time. Oh, my Mate. Then I furrowed my eyebrows. I still didnât know his name. I was starting to get annoyed about the fact that my Mate and I donât know each otherâs names. I wanna know his name! âUhmmâŠâ I started. Everyone looked to where I was, waiting for me to continue, âWhatâs your name?â I asked, facing my Mate but a little embarrassed.
I heard my sisters huffed. But it was Freya who reacted more âReally, Maya? After a long drive, thatâs all youâve wanted to ask? We followed them hereâor we let them bring us here in the middle of nowhere, I donât even know what they want, and youâre just curious about his name?â she sounded frustrated. Well, I understand her. She has a point. I became more embarrassed now. Uggggh⊠it got even worse when I saw my Mate smirked.
âCaleb,â he then said, still smirking, âMaya. Thatâs a great name.â he said my name! He said my name! My wolf is celebrating. She loves hearing his voice. She keeps on purring. His hot British accent and husky voice make me melt. Thereâs something in the way he says my name. It sends shivers all over my body. Iâm sure my face is totally red now. Caleb. My Caleb.
âCaleb,â I managed to say. I saw him flinched from saying his name. Does he like hearing his name as much as I do? âW-why are we here?â
âIâll explain inside.â He said and gestured to let us in the big house.
We sat on a big old-fashioned couch, facing a large fire place. I let my eyes wander, admiring every detail of the old house. The view is breath-taking but a little creepy. Itâs just too old fashioned for me, I guess. But I still appreciate it because of the carvings and old paintings.
âSo? Why are we here?â Aya asked in her very annoying voice. I almost want to roll my eyes but someone has to ask the question. We saw an uncomfortable expression from both guys, Caleb and Jake. Caleb gave Jake a look, maybe they were communicating in their minds. Jake then nodded and left us, disappearing from the room.
âYouâre in danger.â Caleb said, expressionless.
My eyebrows furrowed, not understanding what he was trying to say. I remembered what happened last night and without thinking, I burst, âDanger you mean, just like being abducted and torturedââ, I stopped when I realized his expression changed from indifference to hurt. I also donât want to let my sisters know. Theyâd be so worried and for some reason, I donât want them to hate Caleb. He did save me after all. Wait. I donât really remember what happened after that. Yes, he carried me outside of that room, wherever it was, but besides that, thereâs nothing more. How did I get back to the hotel? But I brushed all that confusion for now. It isnât whatâs important to this situation. âPlease explain why you think weâre in danger.â
Heâs back to his expressionless face. âRogues are after you, just as I suspected. Someone must have found out that youâre my mate and theyâre going to use you against me.â
I heard gasps of shock coming from my sisters. They didnât know that he was my mate. As if scripted, both my sisters scowled at
