She Said No

“My wolf understands that we do not belong in the pack. Besides, if we have a mate, we already met our mate by now.” Emma is already thirty-two years old while Boom is twenty-eight. Both of them have not met their mate yet. Most werewolves meet their mate between seventeen to twenty-one years old. Some others were unlucky to meet their fate later in life or not at all". Emma chose to live her life in the semi-urbanized part of the city where she makes a living as a mechanic. She loves working on machines. Looking through the engines her mind overdrives and deals with the issue on hand. She would work on cars or anything that has engines rather than with people. Machines are very specific. It has simple needs. Never clingy. On the other hand, people tend to deny and lie. Emma lived with the humans since she was ten. A lone man found her on the road. He took her under his wings and treated her like his own. However, fate has a way of bringing back the things that she turned her back from. One fateful day, a woman and a man came to the car shop. Their car broke down kilometers away. The woman was the Moon Goddess' supposed gift to Emma. Only if she would accept. Jill came from a two-day conference with the high alpha together with the other members of the Werewolf Union when her car broke down. She was with another sentinel who always came with her whenever she left the territory. She sent the sentinel to the nearest auto repair shop which was two kilometers away. A woman in an overall greeted her in the repair shop. She was none other than the person meant for Jill. The person that she has been waiting for since she was seventeen. Yet, she was surprised when the woman who smelled like a werewolf, and grease, looked like she did not know who Jill is going to be in her life. Being the alpha that she was, she declared who she was, and who they were to each other. She received an immediate response. “It’s a no for me, Alpha.”
