“You’re a hard person to find.” Audrey looked away from the mirror to see her so called mate standing in the doorway. She said nothing and returned her focus back to her stretches. Why was he looking for her? Why should she even care? She placed her leg back on the ground after she thoroughly stretched both her legs. She turned her head to see Blake still standing in the same spot watching her quietly. She sighed and shook her head, walking over to him. “Why are you looking for me?” She questioned, mimicking his stance. 

“We need to talk of course.”

“About?”

“You being my mate.”

“OH!”

“Yeah…So, can we?”

“Uh…no.”

“What…Why?”

“I don’t want to.”

“Well, you’re mine.”

“Really?”

“You belong to me.”

“I’m not a piece of property, Blake.”

“I know, but you still belong to me.”

Blake Lawson shifted uncomfortably against his place near the wall. Some of his friends had forcibly dragged him along to this party that one of their mates were throwing for no good reason at all. He, being one for alcohol especially if it was free, decided that he’d go for at least an hour or so until he could get a good enough buzz. He couldn't help, but think of all the stupid comments his friends made about him finally finding his mate tonight of all nights. He knew everyone in this small town so what made them think that today of all days he’d suddenly find her? 

Then why was he feeling a pull from someone among the people at the party? Did his friends know something that he didn't know? He wasn't sure, but he really wanted to find out. It was getting too uncomfortable to just stand there, trying to ignore it. He took one last swig of his drink, tossed it and pushed his way through the crowd. He didn't bother giving any apologies to anyone he unnecessarily brushed aside. He sighed as soon as he stepped off the dance floor, but upon doing so, he had bumped into another person. He narrowed his eyes and opened his mouth to tell the person off when he found himself staring into a pair of blue eyes. He wasn't sure what he was supposed to be feeling at the moment, but all he knew was that he felt drawn to her. Was this her? Was she supposed to be…his…? 

The girl smiled slightly at him before apologizing and continuing on her way. He instantly followed her out the door before calling out a soft, “Hey!” once they were farther away from too many people. She turned around and gave him a confused stare. “Yes?”

“I..think you’re my mate.”

“Wow, and here I thought that you were going to hit on me. Could you at least tell me your name?” 

“Bl..Blake.” 

“Well, Blake. How unfortunate for you.” 

“What do you mean?”

He watched as she sighed before she ran a hand through her hair successfully messing up her fancy up do. He thought she looked more natural this way anyways. “Nothing…it’s just. Nothing. I have to go.” 

“Aren’t you going to tell me your name?”

“Audrey.”
