2.The Stranger

Natalia's POV

It was already getting dark. I drove as fast as I could to the farthest place I could find. I even had no sense of direction.I just drove as tears clouded my vision.

'How could they just do that to me? why would they do that?' 

I still couldn't believe that Billy decided to pay me like that after everything we've been through.

I met Billy two years ago.He had got into an accident which took him to coma.A month later, we were informed that he was out of it so I was sent by the agency to go and conduct an investigation to ask the patient a few questions. Billy didn't remember a thing about the accident or his entire life and somehow I got connected to this person. I tried as much as I could to help him remember or even get better.

I introduced him to a psychiatrist but still he said he couldn't remember. He was a handsome guy though as time passed by, we fell in love.I tried as much as I could myself to help him remember that I failed.

After dating for some time, he proposed to me asking me to be his wife. 

At first I refused cuz it would look like I was just using someone who didn't even remember anything about his life but he insisted and I asked a few of my friends they all told me that I wasn't doing something wrong cuz I did what I could to find his family but I failed. 

I finally accepted to be his fiance and we later got married but he still had a few damages caused by the accident. Sometimes you can see him traumatized other times he could yell and Shout.

I had to take all that because I loved him and I was willing to do anything for him so has he could get better.I found him another psychiatrist hoping that he would get better and as I expected with time he got better and better.

And Miranda, I thought she understood the situation but she didn't they were all backstabbers. All I wanted was to help her and this is how he and Billy decided to pay me.

As I thought about all that, tears streamed down my face these people were no good. I pulled over and fished all the tickets and all the documents I had prepared for my vacation with Billy.I teared everything down. There were all users.

Now what did the people really want. I continued driving until I reached a certain Club and I pulled over. I really needed a drink cuz I just couldn't take it but I didn't know how I was going to spend the night and I was exhausted both physically and mentally.

Good enough I was in my casual wear so I didn't attract any attention.Actually, I did attract attention but not as a corp. No one was afraid of me, all I could see were the eyes of men and women all over me. 

There were strippers at one end and people are watching as they hooted. On the other side, people are just drinking talking and kissing everywhere. This is not what I wanted to see. I went straight to the bartenders desk and sat there.

"Miss how may I help you?" he asked

What did he mean by 'how may he help me?'.

I believe that everyone that came here wanted only one thing and that would be liquor. I moved my eyes past him towards the goodies that were put on display. I wasn't a drinker.

I remember it was just one time that Billy begged me to take a beer so I had no idea what I wanted exactly. All I needed was to drink and forget for some time just like how people always said alcohol does.

There was this one bottle that caught my attention so I pointed on it.

"I want that one"I said 

When the bartender looked at the bottle I had ordered, he shook his head.

" No Miss, this one isn't good for you" he said 

What did he mean by that?

"Excuse me?" I said

"The thing is that beer there will not be good for you"he said 

"Why and who is it good for because I'm guessing you wouldn't be putting it there if people weren't allowed to order it"I asked

"Well miss, there is a specific group of people that take these but I I'm not allowed to give it out to every single customer" he said

In my whole life, I never wanted someone to ever look down on me. I never wanted someone to say things like 'you can't do this, you can't manage and so on' and that's one of the reason that pushed me to be the strong woman that I was. 

My step mom always told me that I had no purpose, that I couldn't do s*** but I proved her wrong when I spent a few years in the military then I joined the FBI.I did what she thought I couldn't do and this guy right here was provoking and pushing me.I liked challenges and there was no way I was backing down from this drink. I wanted to know what it does and why it is for a specific group of people.

"Well mister, you said it yourself. I'm a customer and I have just made an order give me the drink now and who are they specific groups of people you're talking about" I asked

"It's us"I deep voice came from behind me. I turned to see who was talking.

He was a well built handsome good looking man he pulled a chair and sat next to where I was standing.Although he was seated and I was standing the height difference wasn't much.

"And what makes you so special from me? If you can take the drink then so can I" I said to him.

"I like yourself esteem beautiful but I suggest you listen to that guy and don't take the drink.It won't be good for you" The guy said.

These guys were joking and they didn't know the person that they were dealing with. I couldn't help but laugh and shake my head at these people. I looked back at the bartender.

"Look, I don't care about the price or whatever reasons you guys have but I want the drink now"I said to the bartender.

He stared at me and then looked at the guy beside me, the guy only Shrugged and when the bartender saw that, he turned around and brought out ten bottles drinks.

"Excuse me, I didn't ask for all those bottles. I just need one at a time" I said and I heard the guy next to me chuckle. 

"What's so funny?" I turned around and asked 

"Well, nine of those are mine" he said

"So you can take nine bottles but you thought I couldn't take one? You are so unbelievable" I said but I got no response from the Stranger.

I looked at him and it seemed like he was in deep thought.He was really a strange man. After a few seconds, he turned and looked at me. He then smiled.

"Do you mind if I keep you company?" he asked

I Shrugged and took a sip of the beer I had ordered.He had been there long enough, why ask now.

The drink was I don't know maybe sour and there's the way it felt weird on the throat. It was like my throat was on fire and although I wasn't looking at him, I knew the stranger was looking at me and wanted to see my reaction.I decided not to show how bad the drink was otherwise he was going to laugh at me and I didn't want that.

I then saw two men coming towards us. They took six of the bottles that were in front of us. I then looked at the guy next to me but he didn't seem fazed. I then figured he knew these guys.

"So what's a beautiful woman like you doing here all by herself?" he asked

 Jack's POV

It was a Friday evening and to us it was always party time. My name is Jack Anderson an Alpha of the Light Woods Park.Justin Stone who is my Beta and Edward Michaelson who is my Gamma are also my best friends. Our parents knew better and every Friday they took over our responsibilities and ran the Pack on our behalf. 

Although they didn't like it. We usually spent all our time partying but after I became twenty three, my mom warned me that I should grow up and that I should run this pack just like how a real Alpha would do.My dad even threatened to take away the alpha title from me and that's when me and my friends grew up and started taking the Pack seriously.

We then begged them to at least let us go out on Friday evenings which they granted .

We went to the nearby club. This club was always occupied by both humans and werewolves though they made sure the humans wouldn't find out about us.

'Come on guys, we are getting late. I'm giving you 2 minutes if you are not I'm ready by that time, I'm going to leave you. You'll find me there'I mind linked both Justin and Edward.

These Guys knew me well and if I said something, I really meant it. When two minutes passed, I started the car and my friends hoped on it while it was moving.

"what's up bro, you seem excited for the club today" Justin said

" I agree he looks more excited and eager to visit the club than we are"Edward added

"Well, I don't know but I have a feeling that today is really going to be the best party night ever"I said

"Why? Did you perhaps make an appointment with some chick?" Justin asked and both he and Edward laughed.

"No I didn't, cut it out you two. All I want to do is just get a few drinks and listen to my favorite music like we always do"

It was just a 30 minute drive from the park to the club and we were there in no time.

As soon as I entered the club, I picked a I scent of vanilla and every footstep I took closer to where we always had our drinks, the scent kept getting more and more stronger.I decided to follow where it was coming from and it led me straight to the bartenders table.

There was this one lady who was arguing with the bartender about the drink. That told me one thing that she was human because that drink was only made for us werewolves and Eric the bartender wasn't allowed to give it to humans because it was super strong. Tyler started jumping up and down in my head as he screamed mate.

It took all my self control for me for me not to jump on her or air out the words the Tyler badly wanted me to say because she was a human and she was just going to get confused I decided to take things slow.

She was a beautiful woman with brown eyes, pointed nose and heart shaped lips.Her hair was dark brown with curls. she had freckles on her face which made her look cute.She was driving me crazy just by looking at her.

She had a tiny waist with curves right in their places.She was perfect and I swear I had never seen something this beautiful. I was so drawn to her the moment I laid my eyes on her.

Though I discovered one thing, she wasn't the type to back down.I'm sure she wasn't going to listen to me or the bartender so she took the drink.I wasn't going to let her take much though.I wasn't loosing my mate after knowing her for a few minutes.I expected her to give up after taking one sip but I was solely mistaken.

I linked Justine and James who were sitting on our usual spot and told them what was going on and they were really excited that I found my mate. They came and picked their drinks and gave me time to get to know my mate.
