"So? What's a werewolf going to do in Tuscany?" He asked. Shouldn't I be asking you that?
"I..um..Leila, my friend she sent me off in Tuscany. She said I should settle there, actually I am going to meet her family there, stay with them for a while and then settle in myself." And before I could tell him my further plans, I realized why did I even tell him the ones I already did? Stupid Ever.
"So I think you mean that you'll stay at the Islas?" He asked and I was dead shocked, how'd he knew?
"How-?" He cut me off, "Dear, Tuscany only has one werewolf family living in it, and that's Islas, and your friend Leila is my sister." He finished, to be honest I kind of felt relieved that he'll be there to guide me through to his house and then I was like did God sent him because I was way too nervous if I got lost? "Oh! I'm Ever, and you?" I asked, I thought making conversation wasn't too bad.
"I am Alvaro, Ever. You have a cool name." He chuckled. Did he just mock me?
"Excuse me Mister, did you just mock me because of my super awesome name?" I furrowed my eyebrows and glared at him.
"No I meant it, I like it. Please don't kill me." He said and laughed, I just smiled at him. "What brings you here?" I asked curiously. "Um, As you know Ever that the Alpha King's mate is a betrayer so every Alpha from all around the world were supposed to meet up with him in Italy, me being in Tuscany and the nearest to Rome, made it there pretty quick." He said, and sighed heavily.
Name of the Alpha King rolling down his mouth wasn't exactly the best thing. But at least I was safe, his mate was betrayal. I'm out of his life and he is out mine, and wait what? Alvaro is an Alpha, I was kind of happy that he held a superior position and I literally started to feel safe around him.
"Yeah, I heard." I said, and wished he'd change the topic.
"Leila never told me about you coming, my parents know I think. What brings you here?" He asked me with a adorable smile. "My feet brought me here you dumbass." I replied, should I or should I not tell him? I will see. I am about to live with him, of course. Well, not for long?
"You're funny." He laughed as he pinched my nose. "OW!" I cried again. He has a thing for pinching people, seriously.
"So Alpha? Your pack's population?" I asked, wondering because mine's was 568.
"Um that'd be, 1000 something?" he replied smirking. Oh smirks and boys!
"We are here." He informed and I looked out to see infinite lush green grass clearings and the sun shone perfectly.
"Hey Iscor? My car broke down a few miles away from the castle. Pick it up and leave it to the mansion. Yea-thanks-bro-see you-yeah-oh." He ended his call. "Beautiful? Where's your luggage? Tell me I have to carry it to my car." He asked me and I blushed, about that beautiful part. I mean yes of course he's the first person to compliment me like that. "No I can do it myself, thank you." I replied, I can't have any favors other than staying at their home. "Nonsense! I'm taking care of you. You're my guest." He said and tried to take my only bag out of the hanging trunks. I tried to take it but "Ever." He looked at me and gave me those eyes let-me-do-it eyes. "Okay, but no more favors." I proposed a deal.
"Sorry but if you call 'caring' doing 'favoring'? That's wrong." Alvaro winked and took my hand getting out the bus and into the pleasant weather outside.
"Home Sweet Home." Cheering he took me by the waist and started leading his way to a black porche, oh my.
"Yours?" I asked, of course his! But porches are my weakness!
"Yup, that's my baby." He said as he patted the sleek black shining car.
We both got into the car and started to know more about each other. I really didn't dare tell him the parts where I was raped by my Alpha King, the ones all werewolves fear, and how my family believed him over me. Tragically miserable events were avoided to talk about.
"So are you 'mate less'?" Alvaro asked me with sudden seriousness, one moment we both were hysterically laughing and then we both are serious. "Umm, Yes. You?" I said as my stomach knotted, mates mates mates. If he had a mate I would feel sad, really. "No, unfortunately -," I cut him off,
"Oh," Sadness clear in my voice, I mean I don't plan on being sad but yet, "She died." He finished. I felt sadder, mate death is impossible. "I'm so so so sorry." I tried to soothe him but it was a failure, his bright mood went gloomy. "So, when was your last shift?" After asking that, he looked at me expecting a answer.
How should I tell him that I am 18 year old wolf who hasn't shifted yet? How exactly I plan to do that? Huh? I'm such a big disgrace. "I haven't shifted into a wolf yet," I trailed off.
"Oh, it's okay. No big deal." He tried assure me that but it was a big deal for me. I have turned 18 for like 3 weeks now! So why can't I shift? Ugh, well I believe in moongoddes, she loves me I'm a good person. I try my best to please her.
"Yes, it isn't a biggy but still I have turned 18 for like weeks now, I haven't shifted yet." I told him honestly. "You're just 18?" He almost chocked on his saliva, what the? "What? The last I checked 18 were legals. Dumbass -," Before I could finish he started laughing. "What? Why are you laughing" I demanded, "2 THINGS!" He cried, yes two things? "2 things?!" I c****d my eyebrows and folded my arms. "First one, I shifted when I was 20. So no biggy babe. Second, my love you're cute when you are furious." And he again started laughing.
Okay two things I got were 'babe' and 'my love' yes I am like a pathetic teen right now but I was blushing madly. "Hey tomato cheeks, look at me." Alvaro again teased. I literally had my mouth open, I slapped his head. "Asshole!" I cried. "I have one you know." He replied, faking serious. My cheeks blushed mad.
"Okay so Tomato cheeks we are here," He told me and I glared at him.
"What happened Tomato cheeks? Aww is little baby mad?" Alvaro kept pushing my buttons!
I got angry and stormed out the car which had now stopped because we reached out destinnation.
"I hate you!" I yelled and started to examine the place we now were standing on.
Beautiful house and a big pool, that's all I could see in the middle of lush green grass and a big vineyard. No houses nearby, just that big villa and that enormous pool. "Wow." I said to myself. Sure the castle was even prettier inside out but the people inside weren't pretty.
"Here's where you are going to have your first time." Alvaro whispered in my ears as he snaked his arm around my waist. My mouth was hanging open and I gulped, fear and what happened to me was everywhere. Maybe Alvaro noticed that, "Hey? Ever? I was kidding." He explained to me, and I could see genuine concern. A relieve-wash was painted over me.
"You're such a pathetic guy." I said and pinched his nose. I smirked, "Tomatoe cheeks, don't be so cruel, my nose is my best feature." Alvaro said as he kissed my cheek. "I'm.not.tomato.cheeks." I said and a shade of pink was what my cheeks were right now. As much as I wanted to hide my blush, I couldn't. He kissed my cheek again and again. "Will you stop?" I poked his arm. "I'm kissing your blush." He explained with a smirk.
"Wasn't blushing I was." I said and c****d my eyebrows, folding my arms. To be honest I haven't properly laughed in a long time, and I meet this stranger hardly two hours ago and my stomach hurts because of laughing.
"Whatever helps you sleep at night, -" he paused and got near my cheeks, kissing it he whispred "tomato cheeks." Such a jerk.
My mouth hanging open once again. This guy will be the death of me. I just laughed and twitched my nose.
Once again admiring the beautiful villa we were to get in, it's going to be a good life. Maybe?
James Pov.
She's not in my room. My search team looked around the castle, it's no use. She's gone. The last to visit her was DrLeila, I'm going to confront her. No one dares to disobey me like that! She ran away. How could she? I'm going to find her and the one who helped her escape. She will be back here with me again.
She is mine. Only mine.
