Mate

"Hey guys, she's here ...pleaseee be nicee and don't do anything to scare her" I clapped both my hands together pleading with my family.

Today was the day I introduce Emily to my family. We have been seeing each other quite sometime now and it's time for her to meet the family.

Flashback ***

I felt something rush through me. A feeling I have never felt before. My whole body became alert, trying to figure out what had just caused this new emotion I am experiencing. It was a scent I had never smelled and the most beautiful smell ever. The smell of vanilla and rose oil mixed together.

There was multiple explosion of tingles occurring in my body and my every nerve was alert with craving. I started moving in the direction of the origin of the smell.

I knew my mate was around. I have known about mates since I was seven years old.

My dad used to tell me and my siblings how it was when one meets his or her mate.Yes I am part of a werewolf pack. Each and everyone in my family is a werewolf.

"Ouchh" my foot hit hard on a stone which brought me out of my reverie.

The scent was really near now. I look up a storey building only to find the most beautiful human I have ever set my eyes on. She was in one of the rooms on the 3rd floor. I stared for a long time not noticing how long I was there.

The windows flung towards me and opened to reveal the female, my mate. Her smell hit me soo hard I lost myself in it.

Her short hair was spiked out around her face framing perfect cheekbones and contouring her eyes to be the focal point of her face. I knew she was mine.

End of flashback ***

I was getting nervous when I stopped the car engine.

"Okayyy...so here we are" I said to Emily with my palms sweating.

Emily had always wanted me to introduce her to my family even though I didn't think it was a good idea with my family's secrets and all that.

I mean which human would want to date a non human? And a werewolf to be precise.

And besides, humans thought there were no werewolves anymore since the killing and slaughter of werewolves by werewolf hunters in the 90s. Fortunately for my family, we were never with the pack. My great grandfather lived with the humans since the existence of werewolves making all his sons and grandsons do same which makes us the only werewolf family in existence.

And we have been very careful with the way we live.

This has made keeping our identity hidden our top priority and so far it has worked out for us. And now, me being the first wolf to find my mate among humans is now gonna be a threat to each and everyone of us,at least that's what my sister and some of my family say.

But she is my mate and there is nothing anyone can do about it.

"Hey,its gonna be fine... they are gonna love me" I heard Emily say to me, trying to assure me.

If only she knew...

I started to imagine alot of things that could go wrong. I brushed the thought outta my mind and got out of the car.

"Here goes nothing " I whispered to myself as we both entered the house.

"Well..that's odd" I thought to myself when I noticed the empty living room. Not even a single soul. The hall were practically crowded on normal days and not even a single soul was around.

A sound brought me out of my thoughts and I could hear them whispering to each other.

"Make yourself at home, I am gonna check where everyone is at" I gave Emily a forced smile since I feel something is wrong back there.

"What are you guys doing back here?" I whispered perplexed, when I saw the entire family well...in my situation, pack in the kitchen. Obviously they were spying on Emily and I back there.

"What are we supposed to do or say to your human girlfriend huh?? Heyy..so you are the human who will be mating my brother?I am his werewolf sister and this is our pack you humans forgot to kill years ago"

I noticed the sarcasm in Jasmine's tone. She literally hates humans based on the stories she had heard about what they used to do to werewolves from our dad who was also heard from his dad.

Jazy is my little sister by two years old and honestly sometimes the way she talks to me irritates me soo much. We are always at each other's throat. But today, knowing her well, I don't have to screw her mind up right now with a wrong answer else I'm not gonna like the way this day is gonna end.

"Jazzz please..do this for me, just for some few hours please me nice" i didn't even know why i was begging her since the whole family will be in danger if anything goes wrong.

I noticed her face soften and she turned to look away from me. I looked at the rest of the family and my mom gave me a smile.

Dinner was served after the introductions and it was time for chit chats. Everything was going perfectly well and I was anticipating our exit time.

With everything going on, my little twin brothers were hidden safely in their room. Jake and Jacob still couldn't control their abilities so they were kept away in case of anything.

Sometimes, the moment they start to throw a fit,their fangs would just pop out and their eyes go from normal to red.

"He was such a cutie" Emily was laughing at one of my childhood pictures my mom was showing her from our picture album.

I chuckled at her knowing well that she is just tryna pull my legs.

"Wait till you see a picture of him picking his nose in his sleep" Jazz voice came through. She and Emily both burst out laughing.

"Giirrlss" I shaked my head.

I was surprised how she and Jazz were getting along soo well. Just a while back she was a whole different person and now here she is laughing herself away.

"Did you hear that?" Emily raised her head from the photo album to my face in alarm.

Judging from the look plastered on the face of my parent, aunt Casey, uncle Ben and Jazz ,they all heard what I heard and what Emily is trying to find out.

"I think there are dogs inside there" she said, sure if herself.

The boys were at it again!!

"What do you mean by dogs are in there? Of course we also keep dogs in our home.."

Jazz replied her when she noticed no one else was ready to give a reply to Emily's hypothesis.

"I love dogs, I wanna meet them" Emily replied while standing up to move in the direction she heard the noise from.

We all stood there not knowing what to do or how to react.

My parent looked at me as if trying to tell me to do something about Emily.

She was going in the direction of Jake and Jacob which is gonna end bad for all of us including.

"Heyyy heyyy " I called out to Emily who was a door away from seeing the boys.

Before I would even get to her, someone passed by me in a flash and baammm.... Emily fell flat on her tummy.

I couldn't believe my eyes. I turned to see

Uncle Ben still holding the extra size frying pan in his hand with a horrid look on his face. He knew what he had done.

"Calm down ...take a deep breath " my mom was trying to calm me and my wolf down. It's been hours and Carlo,my wolf was still angry and throwing a fit. I mean his mate has been hit. I am not happy about it too but I'm trying to understand my uncle since he did it for a good reason and because she's not dead, just passed out.

I entered my room where Emily was and sat on a stool beside the bed. I looked at her and wondered what excuse we will be giving her when she wakes up since she still isn't ready to know the whole truth.

I took both her hands in mine and waited patiently for her to wake up.
