“Jake! Open the door!”

Jacob Thurman, son of the Alpha of the Thurman pack and the future Alpha of said pack, was in his room having a make-out session with a pack maid whose name he couldn’t remember when he heard Vanessa’s voice through the haze of his lust-fogged mind.

Hearing Vanessa’s voice, he broke the kiss and pulled away from the maid, gesturing silently for her to get dressed. She did as he said, but with a pretty pout on her face. That pout must have been what he had found attractive about her in the first place, but after having fun with her all day long, she was no longer the novelty she was when he first started wooing her two weeks ago.

Vanessa, on the other hand, was hoping to be picked as his mate and had refused his advances. But He wasn’t worried about it because he knew it was inevitable.

She would be a notch in his belt sooner or later. And he would never take her as his mate.

He placed the tray the maid had brought into his room earlier in her hands and pointed toward the door with a shushing gesture. Then he kicked his dirty briefs and the used condoms under his bed before getting under the blankets, completely naked.

When the maid opened the door, she paused for a moment and Jake knew Vanessa was examining her for anything that looked out of place.

He was ready with a convincing lie if Vanessa suspected that he and the maid had done anything together. But when Vanessa stormed into his room, he knew she had already forgotten all about the maid.

“Jake, I hope what your mother said isn’t true,” She said.

Jake, who was lying in bed, sat up and pretended to stretch before resting his head on one of his arms and flexing the muscles on it in a way he knew made girls crazy about him. “Good evening to you too, Vanessa. What did my mother say to you?”

Her lips curled in obvious disgust as she repeated what his mother had said. “She said you mating with me is not in her plans. Instead, you’ll mate with some rich, spoiled Alpha’s daughter.”

Bingo, darling, you just hit the nail on the head because that is indeed the plan, even though you don’t need to know that.

Instead of voicing his thoughts, he smirked at Vanessa and asked with an air of mystery, “What do you think?”

“I think it would be extremely cruel of you and your mother to do that to me because I have suffered enough for you. I have spent my free time taking care of that stupid blind girl called Ciara as a favor to your mother. I also helped to monitor her and kept her away from pack guests all this time. . .and this is how she wants to repay me!”

Before she could get any more worked up, Jake slid out of the sheets and sauntered to where she stood without attempting to cover his naked body. He watched as her eyes widened as she looked him over, all her anger slowly dissolving under the weight of the lust that darkened her eyes.

“What. . .what are you doing?” She stammered, trying to stare at anything but his body.

Jake used his hands to hold Vanessa’s chin as he stood as close as he could to her. He wrapped his other hand around her waist and gave her his best earnest look.

“Baby, don’t look so worried. My mum was just trying to rile you up. You and I are destined to be. I’m sure of it and you will be sure of it too when I choose you as my mate when it’s time for my mating ceremony.”

Jake didn’t waste the fantastic opportunity he had by simply taking pleasure out of watching the desire fill Vanessa’s eyes. Instead, he kissed her with as much passion as he could summon. And soon enough, they were in his bed, doing a lot more than just kissing.

* * *

“Jacob, wake up now!”

Jake woke up to the unfiltered sun lighting up his usually dark room through open curtains and his father’s voice ringing in his ears. He pushed himself up on his elbows and groggily opened his eyes to see his father giving him the usual ‘I’m so disappointed in you’ look that he had gotten used to a long time ago.

He used a hand to shield his eyes from the glare of the sun and looked down to see Vanessa curled delectably into his side. Well, he could now see the reason for his father’s disappointment.

What father wouldn’t be when he saw his son, the next Alpha of the pack, with some slut so early in the morning on the day of his coming-of-age party?

But Jake had stopped trying to impress his strait-laced father since he left his adolescence, so he didn’t care so much about what his father had to say or his reprimands. He was resigned to the fact that he would never be his father’s version of the perfect Alpha.

He patted Vanessa’s arm to wake her up, but she didn’t want to.

“What? Let me sleep, Jake. Haven’t you had enough?” She murmured.

Since she refused to wake up, Jake took drastic measures even though his father was in the room. A stage whisper with the right words was all he needed. “Vanessa, the Alpha is here.”

He almost laughed as she woke up with a start and looked around the room quickly like a thief that was about to get caught. When she saw his father, she didn’t dare look him in the eyes. Instead, she greeted him in a quiet and meek voice, gripping the blanket tightly to her chest. Then she tied the blanket around her body and scuttled out of his room as fast as her legs could take her.

“I’m disappointed in you, Jacob. Although I would have preferred that you remain celibate for your mate. Seeing that I’ve caught you with so many girls and you seem to be unable to control your desires, I really would prefer that you pick one girl instead of sleeping through every available girl in the pack.” His father seemed weary of him and his shenanigans as he sat on the sofa beside his bed, staring at him.

“I’ve seen you with that Vanessa girl a lot. Do you plan to mate her? How do you think she will feel seeing you with so many girls and. . .”

“There’s no way in hell that trashy girl is my son’s mate!”

Jake felt relieved when his mother, Mackenzie, walked into his room. She was the only one who could distract his father.

“Then why does he keep sleeping around with any girl and every girl in the pack?” Judging by the beating vein on his forehead, Jake knew his father was getting angry, so he made a hidden gesture to his mother to get her to help him.

In response, his mother quickly came to his defense. “Honey, leave the boy alone. Let him have fun while he still can.”

She diverted his father’s attention from him as she pulled his father to the doorway and said, “We’ll leave you to dress now, darling. Come downstairs as soon as you’re done. We need to finish up this meeting early before your coming-of-age party later in the evening.”

After saying this, she took his father, who was still grumbling about his irresponsible behavior, out of his room. As they moved away, he could hear her talking excitedly about his coming-of-age party over his father’s grumbling, and Jake couldn’t help smiling as he thought of how lucky he was to have such a caring mother.

In a small dark room in the attic of the Thurman pack’s Alpha’s mansion, a blind girl was seated on her bed, lost in thought.

If someone asked Ciara what she was thinking, she probably wouldn’t be able to tell them because her mind was wandering. Like it always did whenever she was bored.

And most times, she always found herself in this state because she was almost always locked up in her room, and only allowed to go out on certain occasions.

With a sigh, Ciara lay on her bed, trying to will herself back to sleep.

Hopefully, by the time she woke up, it would be a good day. She wouldn’t get forgotten again and Vanessa would come to visit her with food, help her turn on the hot water so she could bathe with warm water, and talk to her for a while before leaving.

With that thought, Ciara felt much better.

But she couldn’t help cupping her hands in prayer like Alpha Donovan had taught her, praying that the prince charming in Alpha Donovan’s stories would come to save her like Rapunzel locked up in a tower.

Thinking of Rapunzel’s long hair and whether not having long hair would make her prince charming unhappy, Ciara finally fell asleep.

* * *

Ciara was half-awake when Vanessa walked into her room.

“Ciara! Get up!” As usual, she pinched Ciara’s arm to get her to wake up.

“Can you let me sleep a little longer?” Ciara muttered, swiping away Vanessa’s pinching fingers, groggily.

“No, I can’t. I need to make sure you’re presentable and then get ready myself. If we delay for an extra second, we’re going to be late for the Coming-of-Age party,” Vanessa said as she pulled the blanket away from Ciara’s body.

“We’re going out?!” Ciara sat up immediately and all signs of sleep vanished at the prospect of leaving her room.

It was truly a good idea to ask Alpha Donovan, in their last meeting, for a chance to leave her room.

“Yes, we are. The Alpha said I should let you get a little fresh air at his son’s Coming of Age party since it’s going to be a private pack meeting with few pack guests. I’m sure you won’t be allowed to go if it was a public meeting like a mating ceremony,” Vanessa said, as she sat on Ciara’s bed, sighing dreamily as she folded Ciara’s blanket.

“Vanessa?”

“Hmmm?”

“What’s a mating ceremony?” Ciara asked as she scratched her itching scalp.

“A mating ceremony is . . . it’s like a public ceremony for two people or mates to get officially mated. Kind of like a human wedding, I guess,” Vanessa replied.

“What are mates?” Ciara asked, because she didn’t know what it meant. This was the first time she was hearing about mates and people getting mated.

Vanessa snorted. “You know, just because you’re blind doesn’t mean that you have to be so stupid.”

Ciara went quiet, but she didn’t get offended at Vanessa’s statement because, even though she didn’t think Vanessa was right, she was used to Vanessa talking down to her all the time.

“Anyway, mates are supposed to be soul mates . . . they are like a person’s other half.” Vanessa continued.

“What other half?”

Vanessa released a long, exasperated sigh. “Alright, let me break it down for you, dummy. When the goddess created every supernatural including werewolves, that’s people like me, he made two people from one particular lump of clay in a way that even though they were made as separate people, without each other’s heart, they were just halves.”

Vanessa paused for a moment and then added, “Well, that’s what the pack history teacher said true mates were back in the days. Nowadays, werewolf blood is already so diluted with human blood that werewolves hardly find their true mates. So right now, werewolves just choose their own mates.”

Although Ciara didn’t totally understand what Vanessa had just explained, she knew that if she asked again, Vanessa would get angry, so she stopped asking.

“So that means that you have a mate, too?” Ciara could hear the excitement in Vanessa’s voice as she explained about mates.

Since Vanessa was never patient enough to explain things to her, Ciara knew that explaining what mates meant was probably an opportunity for Vanessa to gloat about something. But Ciara didn’t mind so much. After all, although Vanessa usually said hurtful things, she hardly ever hit her like Aunt Mackenzie.

“Yes, of course . . .” Vanessa replied with a happy sigh that surprised Ciara because Vanessa was always moody whenever she came to take care of her, or give her food. Many times, she would even hurl insults at Ciara when she was in really foul moods.

“So . . . you’re happy because you found your mate?” Ciara asked, happy to talk with Vanessa any time, any day.

“Yes, and he’s going to claim me soon enough. You may meet him today, but don’t you dare say anything, okay?” Vanessa ordered.

Ciara nodded rapidly, like a chicken pecking at rice on the ground, before asking. “Vanessa? Why shouldn’t I say anything?”

“Because my mate is the Alpha’s son and he’ll soon be the Alpha of the pack. He is way too important to talk to a good-for-nothing like you who just leeches off pack resources all day long,” Vanessa replied with another happy sigh. “I’ll soon be the Luna of this pack and then I won’t have to take care of you anymore.”

“Vanessa? What’s a Luna?” Ciara asked, unable to keep her curiosity at bay.

“Don’t you dare ask, stupid!” Vanessa snapped in an irritated tone.

Even though Ciara couldn’t see her glare, she could hear the annoyance in her voice and was smart enough to stop asking questions immediately.

“I wonder if I have a mate,” Ciara murmured as she undressed.

Even though she spoke quietly, Vanessa’s advanced werewolf hearing caught it, and she snorted in an unladylike manner. “Don’t be silly. You’re not even a werewolf. I don’t think humans have mates. Besides, I doubt the fates would be so cruel as to give a good-for-nothing person like you an able-bodied mate. Your mate will probably be a blind, deaf, or dumb human. “

Then she heard Vanessa chuckle as she returned to the bathroom to turn off the tap.

Ignoring the hurt she felt because of Vanessa’s words, Ciara tried to think of anything other than the thought of never finding her mate and being stuck in this room all her life. She consoled herself with the thought that the goddess wouldn’t have brought her to earth just to let her live and die in one room.

She was still lost in thought when Vanessa walked out of the bathroom. “Take your bath quickly. I’ll get your food now.”

When she heard the door closing behind Vanessa, Ciara cupped her palms and prayed that, regardless of whether or not her mate had disabilities, he would find her and help her leave her room.

“Hi!” Vanessa greeted when she saw Mason, a pack member and her friend who she was sure wanted to be more than just friends.

“Hi! You and your friend look so beautiful!” Mason replied with a friendly wink.

“You don’t look so bad yourself.” Seeing Mason all dressed up, Vanessa couldn’t resist flirting a little.

“Who is she?” Mason asked, nodding toward Ciara.

“Oh, her? She’s Ciara.”

“Ciara . . . as in the blind human in the attic? She is really beautiful.”

“Yeah, well, it’s beauty wasted on a blind, good-for-nothing girl. Who’d want her?” Vanessa said, with a fake chuckle to hide her annoyance at Mason admiring anyone other than herself.

Then she led Ciara away from him to a corner from which she could watch her pack mates dancing and grabbed two soda cans from a passing waiter. Feeling slightly annoyed, she helped Ciara pop the soda can open, put in a straw, and wrapped Ciara’s hand around the soda can.

Then she sat with Ciara and watched her pack members dance and have fun, even though she wanted to join them. After the visiting member of another pack almost kidnapped Ciara last time, Vanessa received a stern lecture from Alpha Donovan about her duties as the pack member in charge of caring for Ciara.

As they were seated there, Vanessa saw Jake come in, dressed in a nice suit, and looking much more handsome and mature than he always looked. However, what made her unhappy was the way he stared at the girl beside him and the way she was holding onto his arm like it was her life force.

She tried to catch his eye, but the cheerful smile on her face became very stiff when he caught her gaze and then looked away without a second glance at her or any sign of acknowledgment. Did she make Jake unhappy? Why was he ignoring her?

Deciding to find out for herself, Vanessa roughly held Ciara’s arms and pulled the blind girl to her feet before stalking over to where Jake stood and dragging Ciara along without caring that Ciara’s soda had spilled on her only presentable gown.

* * *

Jake was walking to the hall used for pack parties when he saw Serena, the daughter of the Alpha of the Red River pack, a pack known to have powerful and well-trained enforcers. She must have been invited as a guest to the party. Jake knew his mother wanted him to mate with Serena and since she looked pretty good and had the support of a powerful and wealthy pack, Jake thought it wasn’t a bad idea. He didn’t hesitate to turn on the full force of his charm on her as they walked into his coming-of-age party venue together.

When he saw Vanessa smiling at him, he ignored her and asked Serena—who was hanging off his arm—about her duties in her pack. Serena was listing them off when he saw an angry Vanessa marching toward him. He pushed his free hand into his pocket as he prepared to calmly deny any inappropriate thing Vanessa revealed to Serena.

That was when he noticed the girl Vanessa was dragging along with her. She had honey-colored wavy hair, beautiful light blue eyes, and very kissable bow-shaped lips. She also smelled delicious, with a passion fruit scent that brought his wolf close to the surface. And she had a lost look about her, as if nothing in the world was familiar to her.

Before he could get his wolf under control, Vanessa was in front of him. And his wolf took control for a second, forcing him to whisper in wonderment, “True Mate.”

Vanessa looked taken aback as she followed his gaze to the girl beside her.

Jake quickly recovered from his momentary trance as his gaze slid from the girl’s face to Vanessa’s.

Then he smiled sheepishly at Vanessa as he combed a finger through his hair. “Vanessa, who is your friend?”

“This is Ciara. She’s the blind girl that stays in the attic room.” Vanessa spat out bitterly, taking delight in the frown that appeared on his face.
