Chapter 1

Hanna's POV:

"What is the plan for tonight?" I asked my boyfriend Rick as we sat drinking coffee at a local coffee shop. I took a bite of my cake and looked at him questioningly.

"You know as well as I do," he replied, smirking at me, causing butterflies to erupt in my stomach. "We'll go to the forest around midnight and do the nasty," he said so plainly that I reached out and slapped his arm.

Tonight was the night we would officially mate. Rick and I had been going out for a long time, and we had decided that it was time we mated.

We were werewolves, but things like fated mates didn't exist. We had to choose our own mates. We had to be careful about who we chose as our mates too. It was a lifelong bond, and usually mates didn't reject each other. That only happened in the rarest of rare cases.

And after being with each other for five years, we had decided that it was time for us to mate. But the bad part about it was that we had to meet with the Alpha. The Alpha was the assigned leader for this particular area. He was the one we would have to meet with to make our mating official. It was like a registration of sorts.

"Did you meet with the Alpha?" I asked, and Rick shook his head.

"We have to go together," he said, and I nodded in agreement.

"Let’s go now," I suggested. The sooner we went, the better.

"Sure," Rick said, smiling at me, love evident on his face. I loved him more than anyone else in the world, and I couldn't wait to make it official.

As we drove to the Alpha's office, a weird feeling grew in my stomach with every passing minute. I was repulsed by the Alpha assigned to our town. If the rumors were to be believed, he used girls for his own pleasure and the mere thought of mating repulsed him. I wondered what the Council had seen in him to make him Alpha.

"We're here, babe," Rick said, breaking me out of my thoughts.

"Great," was all I muttered in response.

We walked in, and Rick asked the receptionist, "Can we see the Alpha?"

She looked up, and immediately, her eyes went wide. I guess she didn't see many hot guys around here. Or she needed to get some. She was practically eye-raping him right now. I was getting more frustrated by the second. How dare she! He was my man.

"Hey...slut," I said, and she glared at me, "he asked you a question. Are you going to answer, or do I need to get your sorry ass fired?"

"He's in his office," was all she replied. Whore. We walked to the Alpha's office, and Rick knocked on the door.

"Come in,” we heard a voice from inside. Just listening to the voice made me shiver, and I wasn't sure if it was delight or fear. We walked in, and his eyes immediately snapped up. He took in Rick first, then me.

But the way he was looking at me almost made me faint. There was so much lust on his face and in his eyes that I was transfixed by his stare. When I heard Rick growl, I was brought back to reality.

"We are here to register our mating,” Rick said, and the Alpha raised his eyebrows in a weird manner. Then, just like that, his face went blank.

“Names?'' he asked.

"Rick Somers and Hanna Williams.''

You've known each other for...?" he asked, leaving the sentence incomplete for us to continue.

"Five years," Rick declared proudly.

"When do you plan to mate?" he asked.

"Tonight."

The Alpha's POV:

I watched the girl walk away with her mate and frowned. That girl should be mine. I wouldn't let anyone else claim her. Just looking at her made my dick hard. I knew that if I didn't get some now, I would be frustrated all day long. I walked out of my office to the secretary's desk. She was a fucking whore. She was the easiest catch. I only did her when I was desperate.

I gave her a look, and she instantly got up and followed me. I took her to a small room and shoved her panties down. I unbuckled my pants and thrust into her. I gripped her hips and fucked her hard.

"Oh God yes," she moaned, making me smirk in satisfaction.

"Tell me what you are," I demanded, thrusting hard into her.

"I'm your whore. Your bitch. Your fuck toy,” she screamed, and I knew that she was about to cum. I pulled out of her and walked away, but not before smacking her ass and making her cum all over the floor. As I walked away, I knew one thing for sure: I wasn't going to let that fucker claim what was mine.
