Chapter One

Bloom's POV

"Come on dean, you should be faster than that" I shouted at my best friend who was slowing down.

"Talking (deep breaths) like (another one) that, makes (deep breaths)me really(deep breaths) want to strangle you"said dean.

Laughing,I tossed him a bottle of water in which he chucked down in one gulp.

Laying down on my back, I sighed as I watched the sun set.

I heard dean laying beside me with his hands behind his head before letting out an exasperated sigh.

Turning towards him, I plopped my elbow on the grass staring at him.

"Ever heard of personal space"

"Spill it dean"

"Its not my fault I can't shift neither is it yours"

"No one said its your fault" I said laying down on my back wanting to end the discussion.

I went down the memory lane remembering my eighteenth birthday that happened to be two weeks ago.

I couldn't shift and I couldn't sniff out my mate. My dad was excited about me not finding my mate but he was furious when he found out I couldn't shift.

At least my self centered and power-lustful dad got what he wanted by getting me engaged to that irritating pig.

'Tell me about it' added my wolf Melody and I could imagine her rolling her eyes.

'Yeah right, if only we could sniff out our mate two weeks ago then maybe dad would have considered this stupid engagement' I said to melody, still really hurt about not finding our mate.

Dean happened to be labelled an outcast two years ago, so we got kicked out of pack hunts, runs and training sessions.

We were only supposed to run errands for the elders in the pack that's what they thought of us so we decided to train in our human form since the pack couldn't think that far.

At least my other best friend isn't an outcast so she keeps us updated about what happens.

"I'm surprised your 'mate' hasn't sent out a search party to look for you".

Crap!!!

I forgot!!!!

I'm in so much trouble!!!

Standing up quickly, I dusted my joggers that had some twigs covering the lower part.

"Uhm bloom I think you should do your hair considering the type of guy your mate is"

Pulling my long, red hair into a high ponytail getting the few strands of hair away from my heart shaped face.

Jogging home, Dean said "Much better,I'm still too young to die"

"You're twenty" I said as we headed back towards the camping ground.

"Well I'm still more good looking than devin so I'm pretty much still young"

"Well not all ----"

"Bloom, where have you been" said devin running towards me.

Pulling me towards himself, my senses became filled with his scent which I may add was awful and his stomach wasn't helping,"I'm so glad you're alright".

I rolled my eyes and scoffed inwa rdly at him.

Yeah, right.

There wasn't a single muscle here, everywhere was filled with fat!!!

Sometimes I wish I was paired with someone like dean or any other sane warrior than this fat, stinking boar.

I heard dean and devin yelling but I couldn't hear what they were arguing about.

He held me tighter and that's when I began to squirm in his embrace.

"Come on Devin let go of your mate, you're killing her" dean said with a hint of amusement.

Devin growled and pulled me even closer.

"Good night bloom, See you tomorrow" Dean said.

I heard his footsteps fade away before Devin finally pulled away.

I took deep breaths and then stared at my mate.

He was bald and had a round, protruding stomach.

His eyes were blue while his nose looked too small for his face.

Unlike dean who had dark hair, green eyes and pink full lips.

Being a rogue meant living a hard life but dean still had perfect straight white teeth while devin had crooked yellowish teeth that had many holes in them.

Then he held my hand making me startle snapping me out of my thoughts.

Looking at him and giving him a what the fuck do you think you are doing look.

Seems like he saw it cause he immediately added...

"Don't want you tripping over anything mate"he said before flashing one of his stupid smiles at me and that was when my wolf and I ewwed together and I didn't realise that I said it out loud until he asked me what was wrong.

"Nothing really, I just remembered something really irritating that's all" I answered referring to his brown stained teeth and then he flashed me one of those his stupid smiles' again.

'Seriously what have I done to the moon goddess to be punished? I asked melody

'Hmm let me see, you stealing harmony's berry, filling the berry sacks with rocks oh and...'

'Its not my fault I get hungry easily'

'I see' melody said sarcastically,'By the way Im done here don't even want to imagine how your mate's gonna kiss you good night'

'But...'and my wonderful wolf has blocked me out.

I didn't even realise that Devin's been talking to me all this while until he called my name.

"Bloom?" he said worry etching his face"did you hear what I said?"

"Ummmm sorry no I zoned out a bit" I said trying to sound apologetic.

"Oh okay"he said disappointedly"I was asking you whether it would be alright if we could go for a picnic tomorrow thats if you are free?"he said

"Um sorry I can't come. I have to pick some herbs with har since we've run out of them"I said quickly dispersing the idea immediately.

"Ohh" he said feeling disappointed.

'Well he should really get used to them cause a lot more would be coming' I said to myself.

We finally reached my tent and he let go of my hand.

Finally!!!

"Goodnight bloom"

"Good night" I said waiting impatiently for him to go. And then he started drawing his face closer to mine in an attempt to kiss me.

And just as our lips almost connected my second bestie, harmony showed up.

"Can't you guys wait a little longer for this" she said walking towards us.

"No I was about going "said Devin, his face flushed"Good night bloom"

"Good night" I said again and he left into the darkness and when I was sure he was out of sight, I hugged Harmony tightly squealing and thanking her reapetedly for coming here on time.
