After managing to convince dad that Daisy should come with me, even though I

didn't like it, but

because we a pretty decent team while undercover.

"I'm not going to take the same classes with you" Daisy said eying me.

I scoffed, "I don't even want people to know we are related" I retorted.

She gave me a deadpan look, because we shared almost all the same facial

features, save for a

few differences..like I look way better.

"Whatever, we just need to share a few, like the one going on the excursion" I

told her, looking

away.

She nodded, "good thinking".

After meeting with the Guidance counselor, for timetables we both

split since she had home

room and I had foreign languages. I randomly picked Spanish, because why not?

Walking around, randomly picking hallways, looking for my class, I felt a

pull..a sudden, sharp pull

toward room 113 and without thinking I pulled the door open. I scowled at

myself for interrupting

a class that wasn't even mine. The pull dragged me again but I held it in and

used my eyes to

scan for whatever dragged me to this class. Finally my eyes landed on the

clearest most beautiful

set of sea blue eyes, she looked kind of annoyed. My wolf went ballistic and

howled inside my

head, he howled in the way and manner wolves howl when they found their mates.

"MATE!" Brandon yelled inside my head.

I kind of recognized the pull, I haven't felt it but I heard stories about it,

from my parents and my

friends, who had found their mates already.

They described it as a connection, a connection of two souls, singing in

happiness that they

had found each other. I had rolled my eyes when I heard this, I rolled my eyes

some more when I

heard mom say, when you find your mate.. nothing else mattered, the world

dissolved around you.

You know nothing else but that person. It's the person and you against the

world.

I snorted at the most annoying one, you would want to give your life for that

person.

So when Brandon sighted his mate, I began to understand the stories I heard

about mates, it

was crazy because just last night or early this morning if someone had told me

I'd find my mate, I

would laugh in their faces and call them stupid. But here I was, already

preparing for a lifetime

with her, and I didn't even know her name yet.

After my eighteenth birthday, everyone had expected me to find my mate, they

expected Daisy

too..she expected herself too..but none of us has seen ours. I was laid back

about the whole thing,

she wasn't..she wanted to find her mate as Soon as possible. I told everyone

she would come to

me when she wanted to. But my mom and some of my friends were going overboard

with the

whole thing. Trying to trick me into going to publc places, in case my mate was

there. They felt

they were some sort of spies, and I didn't know their mission, it was sad to

watch.

Once mom brought all my female elementary school friends, for a reunion, I

rolled my eyes at

her very unsubtle way of looking for my mate, she hung around after inviting

them, asking not so

subtle questions like, "none of them catch your eye?", "Feel any pull?", "No

magnetic connection?".

I just sighed at her and managed to pull through the day.

Brandon wasn't as laid back as I was, he wanted to find his mate. I didn't want

to, we had many

disagreements because of that.

He even gave me Kyle as an example, Kyle found out his mate, even as much as he

did not want

to find her. He believed they were too much work. But as soon as Kyle found

Jenny, he was a

believer and a preacher of love and mates. It didn't make sense then, it was

disgusting to watch.

But all those didn't matter anymore as soon as I laid my eyes on the most

beautiful girl I have

ever seen and as Brandon screamed mate, all I wanted was to hold her, to

protect her, to make

her laugh, I wanted to be by her side forever, to hug her..and maybe kiss her

senseless.

"If you don't mind I have a class going on at the moment" an Asian man brought

me back from

my thoughts.

"Sorry sir, I think I came to the wrong class, but I would love to switch to

this class..uhh what

class is this?" I scratched my left ear. Throughly pleased I could form that

much words.

The man looked excited.

"This is Korean, mister?"

"Lloyds, Archer Lloyds" I filled for him.

"Okay class, meet your new classmate, Archer Lloyds".

I practically flew to an empty seat just behind her..the most beautiful girl I

have ever seen. I stared

at the back of her head in a trance, I couldn't believe this was

me. Everything around us

disappeared, just the two of us, I stared at her, our wolves howling together.

All the things mom, Kyle and everyone else said started to make sense now, I

wish I could just

turn her around..but not here, too many humans.

Finally, the bell rang and she literally flew out of her seat, it was

disappointing that she would

just run out like that. Convincing myself that she didn't know who I was, it

was like they were a

bunch of hot coals. I didn't get my notes out of my bag.

"Well shit" I cursed as my wolf cried out same time my mate's friends called

out to her. They

called her Ashley. I smiled. Even if I didn't get any notes or any knowledge

from the class, I got her

name.

"Ashley" I tried it out on my lips, letting it roll around on my tongue. I

liked it, smiling I got out of

the class.
