"Stop it! I exclaimed.

Ashton looked at me confused. "What?"

I rolled my eyes and drank the last of my milk shake. "Stop staring at me."

Instead of commenting he asked, "Are you ready?"

"For what?"

"To go home."

I nodded as I got up and grabbed my purse. I scooted out of the booth and made my way towards the exit. I heard him behind me, but I made no move to wait for him. I pushed the door and walked out of the diner. I turned around to face him and noticed he had a scowl on his face. A part of me wanted to ask what was wrong, but I thought better of it.

We stood there staring at each other for what felt like an hour. Waiting for the other one to speak but he just kept staring...once again.

What is he waiting for? I thought he was taking me home.

Not knowing what else to do I spoke up. "Okay, well this was nice. I'm going to go now."  I told him.

His eye widened for a bit before they narrowed and his scowl deepened. "And where do you think you're going?"

"Home, the bus should come eventua-

"You're not leaving." He said firmly cutting me off, his eyes turning into a darker color.

"I thought we were going home?" I asked confused.

"We are. To my house."

What the hell.

"Oh no we are not." I replied frustrated.

"Okay then we'll go to your house."

"What? No we are no-

"Oh so you don't want to go home." He asked with an annoying smirk.

"I do-

"Then let's go." He said grabbing my arm and leading me to who knows where.

"No. no. no!" I squealed hating how high my voice went. "You go to your house and I go to mine." I yanked my arm out of his grasp.

He turned to face me, his face a foot away from mine. He sighed and I could smell his- I hate to admit it but- slightly intoxicating scent. Damn these wolf hormones. "Listen, it's getting late. I'm tired, you're tired.  We are going to your place or mine. You chose.

I glared at him. "You're not the boss of me."

He raised his eyebrows. "I'm your mate."

I snorted, "That doesn't mean anything. You can't just assume that because somehow some idiot thought we should be together I would do whatever you say. I'm not going to your house and that's final."

"Why not."

"I don't trust you."

"But I'm your mate."

"Have you not been listening to anything I've said. That means nothing to me. God your neurons just don't fire the right way."

He turned his head slightly, "Did you just call me stupid?"

I smirked. "You really had to ask?" I chuckled, "Well I guess the shoe does fit doesn't it?"

He glared at me. "I will drag your butt to my house." His voice went a bit deeper, almost a growl.

I folded my arms across my chest. "I'd like to see you try. You're not the only guy who's tried to put their hands on me. And guess what? Every single one of them ended up one their backs." I stepped a little closer and whispered in his ear." And not for pleasure. They were groaning in pain."

I stepped away from him and was pleased to find his eyes a bit hazy, though it only lasted a second. He opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by sudden headlights coming our way.

I turned and thanked my lucky stars that it was one of the buses that stopped by my apartment.

I turned my back to him and smiled. "Well looks like my ride is here. See ya around babe." I turned away from him heading towards the bus stop. But I was rudely interrupted when a strong arm grasped me again. "I told you I would drag your butt to my house." He growled in my ear.

"Hey- get off me!" I yelled trying to free my arm. Since he was much stronger than me he managed to drag me in the opposite direction of the bus stop.

"Let. Go." I struggled against him again. He ignored me and kept walking, dragging me with him.

I was at my limit, I never did anything I didn't want to do.

Fine you leave me no choice.

Using the element of surprise I stopped walking, and when he turned to face me I raised my free hand and punched him in the jaw. His grip on my arm loosened a bit and I grabbed it with both hands and flipped him. He landed on his back with a groan, his face expression priceless.

"Told you." I smirked and ran towards the bus stop not daring to look back. By this point the bus was about to take off and I quickly caught up with it.

"Hey!" I yelled reaching the bus as the doors were about to close. I turned around and saw from a distance my mate getting up. The doors opened again and I rushed in. I quickly paid the driver and rushed to the back of the bus. I found a spot and took a seat, a satisfying smile making its way to my face.

Take that Alpha.

Finally after a long night, I reached my apartment. Love heard me come in and ran to greet me.

"Hey Love. How are you boy?" I squatted and petted his head. "Sorry I'm late. You wouldn't believe my night."

After changing to more comfortable clothes, I settled on the couch watching TV with Love on my lap. I was almost falling asleep when a hard knock on my door startled me awake. I turned towards the door confused, I wasn't expecting any company. In fact, I never had any company. The only person who knew where I lived was Marley, and it was way past his bedtime.
The door shook again as someone banged against it one more time. Love woke up too and growled towards the door.

I got up from the couch, making Love jump off me and ran to the kitchen. I found a knife and quietly walked towards the door. As quietly as I could I leaned against the door, Love right behind me baring his teeth. I peeked through the peephole and saw nothing but darkness.

Great. In times like these I wished my wolf was stronger. 

I stepped back and hid the knife behind me. I let out a quiet sigh and reached for the door knob. I turned it and quickly opened the door.

My jaw dropped, "What the hell!"

There in front of me was none other than the very annoying and very persistent Alpha. And not only did he not look happy, but he was also sporting his birthday suit.

Yes, he was completely naked.
