Chapter 1. 
An hour before my master bought me I was told “remember what you were taught. You are his and only his, you are there to serve and make him happy, and you will not argue but only obey”. Then a man came to me and looked at me through my glass cage, he said something to the auctioneer and the glass window slid open. The man lowed himself to eye level in front of me then started to examine my body, I made sure not to look him in the eye. His eyes roamed over my pale brown skin, looking at the short, black, lacy dress I wore. He then lifted my face with his finger and turning my head right to left, his eyes traveling the long length of my black curly hair. As he was doing this I took the chance to look him over as well. He was a white man that looked in his early 20s. He wore a black suit. His hair was black and reached his shoulders, his eyes were a deep, clear brown and seemed to have a reddish tint to them. I was caught off guard when I heard his voice directed at me. “Smile” was all he said. So I did. I put my face through the motions and lifted my lips. He then got up and walked out of my cage, the auctioneer quickly grabbed his attention. “W-wait! I promise she will be worth your while. Please.” The auctioneer begged. The man stopped and looked at me again. “Would you like to come with me?” he asked. I looked to the auctioneer to make sure I was allowed to speak; he gave me a curt nod. I finally looked the man in the eyes and said “I would not mind being yours”. He looks at me for a little while longer and finally tells the man he will take me. 
 The auctioneer grabs a leash hanging on the wall and roughly yanks my dog collar around my neck. I let out small yelp. He connects the leather cord, he then hands the leash to the man. “Come” the man says, I obey and follow him out the cage. We walk down the hall, me just a few feet behind him. As we walk I look around the hall into other cages that lined the wall, they were not glass like mine but made of metal and bars. Girls and boys my age and older sat in the cages, some in human form while others in dog, with chains around there necks connecting them to the wall. I was nineteen; it was the youngest they would sell. Any age younger was still in training and getting the basic education we learned to fulfill any wish from our master. We come up to the front of the building that shines with sunlight reflected off the pure white marble surrounding us. I stopped and shielded my eyes with my hand, my collar yanks and I stumble forward. The man looks back and I hurry to catch up with him, he lifts his hand to his breast pocket and pulls out a pair of dark glasses and lays them on my face. Immediately I felt relief as the dark glasses blocked out the sun, I tilt my head to the side and look up at the man and smiled. He stares at me for a little while longer then turns his back and we keep walking out the building. We reach a black car waiting on the side of the road and we slid in. the ride was quite at first but soon he started talking. “What’s your name?” he asks “they called me Tori but you can rename me” he looked at me for a while then he lifted his hand to my cheek and said “I’ll call you Mira”  
He removed his hand as the car came to a stop, when I got out a huge building stood before us. I followed him inside to a door on one of the highest levels, inside was a spacious flat that spread ahead of me. After we enter I stay by the door, not sure what to do. He looks back and motions his head forward “go ahead” I wonder around the level sniffing and smelling things I would soon have to get used to. I walk into a kitchen that still lingered with the smells of a meal cooked prior to me being here, and then I walk down a hall with doors lined up one after the other. I didn’t want to anger him so I just smelled outside the door, when I got to the third door to the left I stopped. This door smelled just like him; heady, thick, and warm. “That’s my room” I spun around to find him watching me at the entrance of the hall, I walk back to him and followed him to the living room where he sat on the couch. I stood waiting for further instruction. “Shift for me please” I paused only for a second before I started to remove my clothes, he looked away when I did. I felt the transformation come over me as I smoothly glided into dog form; I sat on my haunches and waited for him to take notice. When he did I heard an intake of breath as he studied my form. In dog form I still had my hazel eyes, my fur was mostly white with brown coloration here and there and at the ends of my hairs, and I happened to be a little bigger then a natural dog. He lifted his hand to me and I slowly walked to it, his hand gently glided over my muzzle, head, then to my neck where his fingers lodge themselves into my fur. I closed my eyes as his fingers massage my fur. Then as quickly they were there they were gone, I snap my eyes open to see his hands in fist and his eyes , slightly more red then before, locked on mine. 
 I shrunk back and lowered my body to the floor to show submission. I didn’t want to anger him, he just got me. A small whimper escapes my lips. This seemed to get his attention, he blinked hard, and when he opened his eyes again they were the deep brown I saw before. Before he changed again I quickly grabbed my clothes in my jaws and dashed to an empty room, I shifted back into my human form and got dressed. After I was dressed I left the light off and slid into a narrow space between a bed and the wall and waited. A few minutes later the door creaked open and I ducked lower into my hiding spot. The light flicked on as he made his way in and sat on the edge of the bed, he looked at me in the corner and said “are you going to come out?” I look up at him, he gives me an encouraging smile, but I shake my head no. he sighs and turns back around. “I guess I’m just going to have to talk to you out here” there’s a pause before he continues “I’m sorry I behaved that way, it’s just you-” he tries again, but before he can get the word out I ask “why did your eyes turn red?” his head wipes around and his eyes where wide. “You saw?” I nod. He lifts his hand to his head and ruffles his air then lets it drop to his lap. “Come here” he says but I hesitate and stay out. He looks at me from the corner of his eyes and says “Mira come here” I couldn’t stop myself from going to him. I ease out of the narrow spot and sit beside him on the bed, eyes faced down. “Look at me” I obey and look at him, his eyes where again the red color and I couldn’t help but to lean slightly away but this time I didn’t break eye contact. “I’m a werewolf. And so are you”

A silence spread between us as I looked him in his eyes, debating if what he said was the truth. Understanding I wouldn’t be the first to speak he continued with his story. “My name is Eric and the name your parents gave you is Mira”  
“My parents?” I asked  
He smiled at me “they’re waiting for me to bring you home too.  
“You see, we grew up in the same pack but of course you were too young to remember. Our pack was attacked by hunters, some were killed and some were taken to be sold. Among the ones to be sold was you. At the time we didn’t know they took you until it was over” he then looked away and hesitated for awhile, he looked as if he were reliving the whole event in his head. “It was a huge loss for us” he whispered. He turned back to me and I saw that his eyes were back to being the comfortable brown I liked.  
“So…you are here to take me back?” I asked him.  
“Yes. I have been looking for you for a very long time, most thought I wouldn’t find you” I was quiet for some time, taking in all I had heard.  
I couldn’t help the smile that stretched across my face. “When will we go back?” I asked excitedly.  
“Not for a while. I have to handle some stuff here and then I will take you to them. I promise.” He reached up and stroked my check, then he got up and walked to the door. He turned and said “I have to go out for awhile, it shouldn’t take long. If you get hungry there’s food in the kitchen” he then smiles at me and tells me he’ll see me soon. After he left I wondered into the kitchen and snooped through the fridge and grabbed an apple, then decided to do even more snooping around. I went back to the third door on the left that smelled so much like him and slowly pushed it open then flicked on the light. I stepped in and looked around. It was a very large room, there was a large dresser on the furthest wall and beside that a door that led to a bathroom, a large T.V. across from a huge bed covered in black sheets and could probably hold five people, under the T.V. was a fire place, and a puffy chair sitting beside it. 
I walk over to the dresser and see if there was anything I could learn from him, but it was surprisingly bare. The only things littering the space were watches, a wallet, deodorant, and cologne bottles, which I didn’t really like the smell of. I preferred his natural scent that came wafting off his bed, though the smell seemed so familiar, I couldn’t place where I smelled it before. I walked over to the bed and place my hand on the black sheets that coved it; they were very soft to the touch and seemed very comfortable. Slowly I lifted myself up and climbed on the bed to lie down, I was right it was very comfortable. I placed my head on his pillow and inhaled deeply, it smelled of his rich warm scent. It was so heady, I found myself snuggling deeper into his sheets and before I knew I was asleep.  
 
********* 
Eric’s POV 
When I came back to the flat I expected to see Mira on the couch watching T.V. or in the kitchen, but I found her in neither places. I look in the room we we’re in before but didn’t find her in there, so I decided to follow her scent. Her scent led me to my room; I push the door open and enter to find Mira, sprawled out, asleep on my bed. Truthfully I was very surprised but also happy. I dropped my bag that carried my laptop and work papers then stripped down to a t-shirt and shorts; I got on the bed and gently lay down beside her. She was deep in sleep; I tenderly removed strands of hair from her face. At that moment I couldn’t help but to lean in and skim my nose over her jaw line then down her soft neck, breathing in her familiar scent. She let out a soft moan. My wolf was going crazy by now; he wanted to get closer to her, to claim his mate like he is was supposed to. Mira sighs and whispers my name, so my attention becomes drawn to her full plump lips. Damn this was going to be hard. I know she’s my mate, but she doesn’t know I’m hers yet. And I have so little time to get her to remember me and let me claim her, yes I could do it forcefully but I would rather not do it like that. I sigh and lay back on the bed while pulling the blanket over us, then fall into a peaceful sleep.

Chapter 3 
The first time in all my life, well that of it I can remember, I was comfortably sleeping and felt completely safe. I open my eyes to take in my surroundings and suddenly remember I’m in Eric’s room. I try to lift my body up but felt restricted, I look down to find an arm wrapped around my waist. I follow it to the face that owned it; I stiffen to see that it belonged to a sleeping Eric. When I try to move out of the bed his arm tightens around me, so I lay back down on the pillow facing him. His hair lay swooped across his face, his dark thick lashes rest on his cheek bones, his lips slightly parted letting out sighs. I couldn’t help but smile at this somehow familiar picture, I sigh and turn to lay on my back. Admiring the blank ceiling I think about what Eric told my before. Apparently I’m a werewolf and not just a shifter as the others were (people that could shift into different breeds of dogs) I wonder why they kidnapped me if they had all those breeds in the first place. I mean I understand that I would sell for a lot of money but if that’s so why would the Pound (the place I came from that sells shifting pets) only keep one? What where they planning on using me for? I would ask Eric when he woke up. I look back to Eric and was surprised when I found him staring at me. I bolt upright and back away from him which ended in me falling off the edge of the bed. I land on my back letting out an ooff! Eric looks over the bed at me with an amused smile on his lips. “Are you ok?” I shuffle up to my feet “yeah…um sorry about me falling asleep in your bed. It was just really comfy and I was kinda tired. And it smelled a lot like you and…sorry.” I look down, not wanting to look Eric in the eye, until I hear him laugh. “I think that’s the most I’ve heard you say since we’ve met” he says with the most dazzling smile I’ve ever seen. His brown eyes were warm and inviting, I couldn’t help the reciprocated smile that made its way to my face. I took a step towards him and his smile widens. I then become aware that he was only wearing a tight fitting t-shirt that showed all his well defined muscles and boxers and the fact that I was still in his room, so I take a step back and stride towards the door mumbling another apology. I quickly close the door behind me and take a seat on the couch in the family room, taking deep calming breaths. Wow did he look good. Part of me was begging to go back in there and touch his chest, to feel the smooth skin beneath the fabric of his shirt. To feel the muscle moving under my fingers, to slowly run my hand through his hair- NO! I said to myself, I needed to calm down. Then out of nowhere a growl sounded in my head “Yes! We want him. We need him.” A voice said. I knew the voice was not around me but inside me. The voice was familiar as my own so I knew I was not afraid of it. Suddenly Eric walked out of his room and took a seat by me (fully dressed) “mine” the voice said and I found myself barely whispering the same thing on my lips, it felt completely right as looked at Eric. “What?” he asked but I just shook my head. This was a perfect time to ask Eric about the questions I thought of earlier, deciphering the voice in my head could wait.

Eric and I stared at each other for a while waiting to see which one us would speak first. Seeing as I had the questions I began. “Um... I have a few questions” he raises his eyebrows and nods for me to go on. “Well you said the night I was taken there were more the one of us kidnapped.” He nods, confirming what I said. “I get that I would sell for a very high price but if that so why did the pound only take just me? Why not keep the others?” I finished. 
 Eric looks at me with his mouth in a thin line and eyes slightly narrowed. Giving me the feeling that he was debating whether to tell me the truth or not. “Please tell me” I ask. I really didn’t want him to lie to me. He lets out a deep sigh. “They wanted you because they were going to use you as a breeder. They were going to sell your body to anyone that would pay enough so they could mate you and they’re ‘pet’” he said, a growl creeping into his voice when he motioned selling my body and mating. When I look at his eyes I could see they were faintly tinged red and locked on mine. “That makes you mad?” I asked. I mean I guess I understand why he would be upset, but to be this angry? What was I to him? 
“Yes, that makes me very angry” he answered. I couldn’t help myself I leaned in closer to him. “why?” he leans in closer to me studying my face, his eyes roaming over my hair, eyes, nose, and finally landing on my lips. A smirk reforms his lips “because your mine” he crashes his lips to mine, sliding one of his hands behind my neck holding me in place. After the initial shock wore off I was kissing him back. The kiss felt amazing. Warm electric tingles started to make their way down my body creating an intense heat in my chest. I moved my hand up his amazingly sculpted chest, feeling all the tight muscles under my palms. Eric growled against my lips, his tongue sneaking out to slowly glide against my bottom lip. I gasp never feeling anything like this before, suddenly his tongue slides into my mouth encouraging mine to play with his. Another electric shock shakes my body when his tongue caresses mine, my tongue comes to life exploring and needing his as if it was the water of life. Eric moans/growls as he pushes his body to mine, then he slides his hands under me and lifts me onto him to where I was straddling his lap. My hands entangle themselves into his silky thick hair and he lets out a purr as he squeezes my butt. I start moving my hips against him, breaking away from his lips to his neck. I growl and lightly bite where his neck curves into his shoulder, Eric moans and pulls my hips closer to him. The more I grind on him while kissing him, I feel a bulge pressing itself between my legs. I gasp and pull away from Eric’s lips as I slid myself off his lap. I sit a little ways from him on the couch, not that I didn’t want to be near him, I just didn’t want to jump back on him and continue where we left off.  
Eric looked a little hurt but mostly confused and lusty. “Eric what was that?” I ask him out of breath. I was kinda confused myself, I’ve never done that with anyone before and I can’t figure out why I did it just now with Eric. And not to mention the electric currents that went through my body when he touched me, the amazing feeling of warmth, safety, and desire.  
Eric sighs, but can’t keep a smile off his face “Mira we’re mates” he says smile becoming wider. “What’s a mate?” 
“A mate is someone that you’re meant to be with. Sort of like a soul mate or the other half of your soul. It’s the person that you stay with for the rest of your life. And I’ve found mine.” He says as he leans his head beside mine and nuzzles my neck. He rubs the side of his face on mine and whispers “I found you” in my ear. The warm electric feeling comes back and I find myself smiling and rubbing my face on his in return. I take a deep breath to breathe in his scent, committing it to memory. This was the smell of home, safety, my mate.

Chapter 5 
 
We were in one of Eric’s cars as he drove us to our destination. He hadn’t told me where we were going so I just waited and enjoyed the ride, watching the city disappear as it turned into dense woods. We’ve been driving for at least 40 minutes until he pulls onto a dirt road that leads into the trees and we travel on that road till he stops 10 minutes from the entrance. When I look around there is nothing there but tall trees surrounding us. I look to Eric waiting for him to explain why we were here. 
“I thought we could go for a run, I don’t know about you but I haven’t shifted and ran for awhile. So I thought you might want to join me.” He says with the most amazing smile I’ve ever seen. I nod yes, how could I say no to him when he looks at me like that? 
“Alright, you can shift on your side of the car and I’ll wait for you over here. Also we won’t be able to communicate with each other when we shift.” He adds. “Why not?”  
“Because you’re not really in my pack even though you were born in it, you weren’t old enough to make a strong enough bond with us. And the other way is to completely become my mate, but I won’t mark you until you’re ready” 
“How do you mark me?” I’m really eager to learn about this seeing as he is my mate. Eric eyes cloud with desire and a smirk forms on his face. “We’ll talk about that later” is all he said before sliding out the car. I get out of the car and undress myself before feeling the shimmering sensation of my body shifting into my wolf form. After shaking out my fur I made my way over to where Eric stood as a wolf, he was beautiful, his fur was black along his back but lightened up down his side then became a grayish- cream color under him. The outer rims of his ears where black as well as the top of his muzzle to his nose, his eyes where a mixture of red and brown. 
 
 (what Eric looks like) 
 
 
 (What Mira looks like) 
Before I could stop myself I walked up to him and started to rub my body against his, along his side and under his head. He was so much bigger than me, but it was like I fit to him perfectly. Suddenly he gently bites the back of my neck; I yelp and try to pull away. He growls softly and begins to tenderly push me down; once I was lying on the ground he positioned himself over me then lowered his body on top of mine. He begins to rub his body over mine coating me in his scent, after he was sure my back was covered in his scent he nudged me on my side to get me to roll over. I was confused and a little angry to why he was doing this so I stubbornly lay still and ignored his pushes. Eric growls and forcefully lodges his muzzle between me and the ground then quickly flips me over. I scramble, trying to get from under him, but he successfully pins me down before I could flip myself back over. At this point Eric had his teeth securely around my neck, not in a threatening way but to hold me down and make sure I don’t move away. He continues to rub himself on me but this time was different. He began breathing harder and his rubbing turned more into a grind, in a matter of seconds he was full out humping me as his teeth closed more around my neck. 
I yelp and snapped close to his face while kicking my legs at him. He instantly let go of me and backed up a few feet. When I looked at him his eyes were completely red, I picked myself off from the ground and bared my teeth at him. Then I made the split decision to run off into the woods. I knew he would follow me, but maybe he would calm down before he did.
