~ Alpha Loran ~ ... I promised myself never to let anything come in the way of my destiny. Not even her ... My Fated Mate ... Yes, It is my job to hunt down our enemies. I remind myself of my mission every single day. No distractions ... No second thoughts ... But how do I stop thinking about Ashley? A sexy police officer with a different agenda. To hunt me down and my kind. But we have a common enemy, so that gives us a lot to bond over. Her long, gorgeous legs serves as a sweet distraction. That soft skin makes me forget my mission and destiny sometimes. Things are complicated because she hates me, and being together might be a mistake. Especially when one last revenge is coming. It is us against our worst enemy and only one side will win. But the question is ... Which side? **** Wanna find out...!!!

We had only met due to some business agreement with Mrs Johnson.
I never expected my hatred for company owners to betray me.
I was seeing myself developing this urge, this strange feelings for him like we've met a thousand times.
He was a male model and he was adored by the darker sex of his midnight hair.
His crescent-of-moon eyebrows were thin and narrow. He carried an imperious nose well and his angular cheekbones carved down his flinty jaw.
He had a manly, Samson physique. His mariner-blue eyes were orb round and darted constantly.
They were soft, Irish eyes and swam with joy, making my brain dart from concerntration to confusion.
Somehow I was regretting why it had to be me at the first place but somehow, I loved why it had to be me and not Lydia.
And thankfully the meeting isn't meant to be once, nor twice. I will have to visit the company after every two days to check on the progress on the new car.
Lina seems to have noticed my changed behavior but she wasn't sure if she should ask.
I'm growing insane, confused every time I think of him. Those blue eyes staring at me with those sweet lips which plays a smirk on his face, is really a distraction.
I've always told myself not to let anything come in my way.
No distractions...
No second thoughts...
But here I am, being betrayed by my own self.

~ Ashley ~
" I can't believe you are finally leaving us. " Mom said, sounding sad.
" Mom, it's not like I'm leaving forever. It's just for a matter of time. I will really miss you guys. " I said pecking her cheeks then Dad's.
" Do take good care of yourself for me, okay? "
" I will dad, you too and mom. " I hugged mom for the last time before entering the passenger seat while Dad went to the driver side.
We zoomed out of the compound. We were leaving for the airport to Chicago, my dream home.
Why don't we start from the scratch...?
My name is Ashley Agent, a graduate of the Police Force Academy, San Diego.
Just two days after I had graduated, I was called to the police department of Naperville, Chicago.
And that's just where I am heading to now.
Chicago has been my desire, my dream and it's really exciting to say I'm not just going there for a visit, but to make it my new home.
My family are the well known hunters in San Diego since the 18th century.
And it has been a passed down blood line that we chase after wolf's and it's our duty to hunt them down.
I've heard a lot about werewolves and I've read about them too.,
They aren't the easy going type and that's why I'm going for this job.
Chicago is a big city, so there's much population of werewolves there. I've heard about that too.
I know what you're thinking... Why joining the corps, right?
It's alright to say they aren't just corps, but undercover agents ( wolf hunters in disguise ).
We got to the airport, dad helped me with my luggages. " Your mother and I thought of visiting you next month, what do you think? "
" I think that would be great. I'll be waiting tho, but tell mom not to over think about me, okay? "
" She won't listen to me even if I told her, but I will see what I can do about it. "
I hugged him tight, " I love you dad. "
" I love you too, baby. " He kissed my forehead. " Have a safe flight. "
" Thank you. " We were waving at each other until I got inside the air plane.
I stared around to see different girls of my age, or maybe I'm just guessing that.
They were all sitting parallel to each other. " Hi, " I said slightly waving at them.
I made myself comfortable on one of the empty seats. We all looked like savages about to be sold.
The plane took off and for what took like hours, we were all buried in an awkward silence.
I never thought the hunting team accommodated much, I always believed it to be a small organization.
" So, " I began, " why don't we formally introduce ourselves. My name is Ashley Agent. I'm 21, from USA. "
" My name is Vivian Mayor. I'm 22, from England. "
" Mariam Parker, I'm 22, from USA. "
" My name is Allison West. I'm 25, from USA. "
" Jessica Lin and this is my cousin, Lina Wang. I'm 23 and she's 21, we are from China. "
" It's really nice to meet you all. " I said with a welcoming smile. " Guess we're all going for the same purpose, right? " They all nodded in unison. " No one loves the wolves. "
*
We finally got to Chicago. Stepping out of the airplane, my eyes couldn't stop from beholding the great beauty of the american city.
Even from the airport, the buildings, skyscrapers looked naturally beautiful.
I knew from the start that I won't regret coming here. And it's all like, " Welcome to your new home, Ashley. "
We entered a van which had the FBI inscription written boldly on it and we took our stuffs with us as we hopped into the van.
We had more discussions, few concerning our backgrounds and most which had to do with becoming a hunter.
The trip was a little bit faster, and now it's us in the department. I was loving the sight of everything.
" Welcome girls, it's an honour to have you all into the organization. Some of our students will be arriving tomorrow morning, but for now I think you all are stressed out from the long trip. Lydia, my colleague, " she pointed at the lady at her left side, " she will direct you to your respective rooms, all you have to do is to take a shower, eat and have some rest. As soon as the rest of the students arrives, we'll start with your training. Good night, girls. " She left.
" Good night, Mrs Johnson. "
" Follow me. " The lady said and we all followed her.
We were showed to our respective rooms, Lina and I are roommates and thankfully they picked the both of us together.
What do you expect, we are the only ones with the same age.
I threw myself on my bed, sighing as I got driven by sleep.
