The 1st Encounter With Danger { 2 }

"Ryan," I said, "I have a lot of questions about - "

"I said don't bring the topic up." Ryan said with coldness.

"I'm not," I said.

"Than what is it?" He asked and sat down on the sofa and ran his hand through his soft velvety hair.

"Is there such things as mates in werewolf world?"

"Yeah."

"I was wondering is it true that you could only love your mate and you can't pick who your mate is?" I asked and felt silly of myself.

"Where did you hear that?" He sounded amused by my silly question.

"Stories? Fairy tale? Fantasy?" I said as if questioning myself.

"Well, it is true because your mate is chosen by your soul. And you have to love your mate no matter what. You are not force to love your mate, but it just come naturally to love your mate. Your mate is your other half. If your mate dies, then you can never love anyone again and you will die along with your mate. Even if you did try love someone, you won't have that type of feelings that you get from your mate. In some rare cases, a female werewolf could have more than 1 mate. But in that case, the male werewolfs happens to get angry and fight. They would fight for the female and the last one standing is proven to be the real mate."

I nodded. "Is it true that werewolf eat raw meat?" That question disguised me, but I have to find out.

He chuckled, "Unfortunately, yes."

I gasped and said, "Ewww!"

He laughed and said "Oh, let's move on to the next question."

"Wait, so you are saying that after my inner wolf wakes up, I will really eat raw meat and think it is the best thing in the whole world?" I asked scornfully.

"Yeah," Ryan chuckled.

Then I paused, "And you are also saying that we are . . . mates ?" I asked really quietly.

I almost think that he didn't hear me and left that question in air, but he answered me instead. "I guess, because my mom and dad won't make me marry someone that I can't love." Ryan whispered.

I didn't think I would hear that, but I did. "Oh," was the only word that came out of my mouthe and then there was silence in the room.

I looked out of the window and leaned on the wall. Then there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Ryan said.

All of my stylist came in and all of their faces had a big and goofy grin.

"Jennifer, come here!" Sunny squealed and I blushed.

It felt embarrassing, especially in front of Ryan.

"Yes?" I asked and they pointed out the door.

"So?" Valerie asked, "How was the first family dinner?"

"Family?" I asked,

"Yeah, family." She sensed confusion in my words.

I have to get used to calling them family. "Well, it was really a good night. I really like them and thanks to you guys, I look like a princess from a fairy tale! I don't know how I can thank you." I said and hugged them.

"Awwwh!" Vicky said and hugged me so tightly, I felt dizzy when she left go.

"Well, have a good day, sweetie." Beth told me and hugged me.

"Bye," I said and walked inside.

I went straight to the closet and stared at the clothes.

"SUNNY!!! COME HERE!" I shouted and Sunny quickly ran into the room.

"Sunny, where are all of my clothes? These are not my clothes." I said and picked up a sweater on the hanger.

"Well . . ." Sunny said, "Well . . . I umm . . . threw all of your other clothes away and I kinda replace the old clothes with the new ones that I have brought."

I opened my mouth to speak.

"Wait! But the new clothes are like a whole lot more fashionable." Sunny said and grinned.

I gasped, "What?! When did you do that?" I asked.

"Yesterday, when you were eating dinner. I was bored and I thought your closet needed a TOTAL make - over, so yeah." Sunny said.

"Ok, so you basically threw away ALL of my old clothes." I asked.

"Yeah and I spent hours and hours in the mall, just to buy you designers. By the way, they are all your size." Sunny said and grinned.

I sighed disappointedly and said "Thanks."

She nodded and headed out of the room.

I quickly grabbed an outfit and changed. I grabbed a coat and a shoe pair and walked out of the closet.

"Where you are going?" Ryan asked, looking up from the computer.

"Somewhere, I don't want to be stuck here."

"Where?" I can sense concern in his voice.

"Outside, to take a walk." I assured him.

"But there's no place to walk here."

"Yeah, but there is the forest." I pointed out.

"NO, you can't go there." Ryan said with his widened eyes.

"Yes, I can!" I said and ran out of the bedroom.

"Hey, wait up!" Ryan shouted while running behind me, but I ignored him.

I wanted to explore the forest, it seemed interesting and full of mysteries. I ran to the front door and threw the door open. The forest air breezed on the face. It was calming and I like it.

Ryan catched my pace. "Follow me." He said and walked ahead of me. He is damn fast! I thought.

Ryan walked quickly and I walked slowly behind him. I wanted to get away from him; I walked even slower, until I couldn't see him.

YES!! I CAN FINALLY EXPLORE ON MY OWN! I thought and grinned in victory.
