My heart raced as I rushed to the front door, mixed emotions in my chest. My wolf purred and rolled around in delight because she had found her mate, but my happiness was cut short when Ryder and his friends opened the front door. When I locked eyes with them, the word “Mate” rang in my ears.

It dawned on me that I wasn't mateless, but in the wrong pack.

I lost my footing for a moment, my eyes fluttering as I stared at the three, six feet plus boys who appeared to have fallen out of a romance novel with their godlike physiques. My wolf died with excitement, but my heart broke; this was a curse.

“It looks like our plaything arrived safely; we have been waiting for you.” Ryder smirked and inched closer to me.

I took a step until my back collided with the door to my room. The door opened, almost causing me to slip, but I found balance. I slipped out of my thoughts and dashed to my bed to sit down. When I sat on the bed, a balloon of water burst, and the bed crashed to the ground.

“It looks like someone peed her pants.” Ryder chuckled and high-fived the twins as they mocked me.

“Remember, Runestone. You are not welcome in this pack, and your time here will be hell.”

What could be worse than your bullies being your mates, who couldn’t recognize you as theirs?
