"Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck fuck FUCK."

Pierce couldn't be Achilles' mate. There was no way. Right? He was a human and she had never heard of human-wolf pairings. Had she?

Pierce sat on the bed and stared at her as if he she had grown two heads.

"What happened?"

Astrid grabbed clothes from his dresser and threw them at him.

"Get dressed we have to go."

"Where?"

"Somewhere. Now hurry up she's about to leave."

"Ooh it's a she?" Pierce smirked at her and Astrid rolled her eyes trying to move him along. Once he was finished getting dressed, she started walking to the pack.

"If you're taking me out the woods to kill me you could've told me first. You didn't have to lie."

"I'm not lying Pierce now hurry up."

Once they got to the border, Astrid snuck Pierce past the patrols.

"You know what, stay here."

Astrid sat him down on a hidden stump so he wouldn't get caught.

"Yes, right. I'll just sit in the middle of these woods."

"Do you trust me?" Astrid put her pinky out and waited for him to take it.

He stared at it reluctantly, but then he took it.

"I guess I do."

Astrid smiled at him and ran to Andrew's house hoping that Achilles would still be there. She didn't like Achilles, at all, but she loved her friend. He would never find true love if Astrid didn't introduce them. Mates could only truly love their other half.

Once she got to the door she ran to Andrew's office and luckily Achilles' scent was still there.

She barged through the door.

"I have important news."

She pointed at Achilles who gave her a disgusted look back.

"I don't like you, but you have to come with me."

"What makes you think I'd go anywhere with you?"

"Smell my hand." Astrid held out her hand in expectance.

"What? No I'm not going to smell your hand you freak."

"Just do it." Astrid looked at Achilles' parents and hoped they would understand what she was doing.

"Sweetheart, smell her hand. This is important." Thank goddess. Achilles' mother has a knowing look in her eye and a smile threatening to form on her face.

Rolling her eyes, Achilles leaned over to smell Astrid's hand.

"Is that a new perfume to coverup your dog stench."

Wow I'm doing something nice for you and you're still being a bitch.

"No you asswipe. It's the smell of your mate."

Achilles' eyes widened and she jumped out of her chair.

"Wait, why were you with my mate?"

"Because he's my friend. Now come on."

Astrid led the group to the spot that she had left Pierce and, surprisingly, he was still there.
