Unexpected Turn of Events

Hello everyone again. I want to thank to those that are giving this story a chance. Also, I want to thank you all for the comments and encouragements for continuing. Like I promised, this chapter is much longer than the others. I hope it is to everyones' satisfaction.

Normally, I try to have a story posted every week, but the following chapter may take a little over a week, since I need to study for mid-terms and also, I have 3 possible ideas where I want this story to go--so I will need to some how choose one option. Hopefully it's the right choice!

Comments are always appreciated.

Enjoy

Sitting behind my desk, it seemed so hard to get back to work. All I could think of was my mate. Now thinking back to the conversation I had with Donald after I saw my mate

'Cullen, you need to understand that there is some information that even I can't get for you. All her records are in the HR office, and how do you think it would seem, if I were to go in there and ask for Angel's personal file?'

'I don't care. I need that information. I'm sure there are some ways for you to come up with something...anything.'

'Listen Cullen, the only thing I was able to get was her schedule without looking suspicious. I have sent you a copy of the schedule'

That was just a few hours ago. Now, I just had to think of what to do, what my next move would be. Just then, someone decided to knock on my door after I gave instructions I am not to be bothered. Layla stepped into my office, walking sexily over to my desk.

"Good evening Cullen," Layla softly stated, while smiling at me, "I was actually getting a bit bored and I had this... craving. And..." she stood before me now, straddling my legs, "you are the only one that knows how I like it."

Layla is in charge of all the female weres' at this compound. She is the strongest among them, and can easily beat any challenger. Normally, many thought that she would become my mate and I have been actually thinking about it, since at the time I never thought I would ever find my real mate. Even though it may have crossed my mind, I knew I wouldn't have ever gone through with it. Layla, in all simplicity, is really a...bitch. She doesn't care at all who she steps on, and she can be very conniving as long as she gets what she wants.

"Layla, as interesting as tha..." but I was cut off right away, as I had to hold back a gasp, as Layla reached down, stroking me through my pants. Closing my eyes, I couldn't help but think of my mate—and as soon as I thought of that—I became instantly throbbing hard.

With quick movement, I grabbed Layla by the throat thrusting her back to the desk and bending her over it. "So, you want to play do you?" Growling, as I reached down and pulled her skirt up above her waist. I freed myself from the now constricting pants, as I thrust right into her without caring if she was ready or not. I didn't care. I had to take care of my own needs right now. He thrust deep, hard, over and over again, his movements uncontrolled now, for he was overwhelmed, and with one last surge forward, he quickly took himself out of her cunt and poured his seed onto her back, shouting out loud. Layla laid there for a few minutes, catching her breath.

After some time, she stood up, and adjusted her skirt back down. Slowly she turned around to look at Cullen, smiling down at him. "It's always a great pleasure Cullen. A girl can really get used to this, but you have ruined me you know. No other guy can ever equal up to you and your performance" said Layla.

I just look up at her, raising my one eye brow. I know the games she is playing at. "Layla, I told you once before. We will never mate together." I adjusted myself, refastening my pants.

Mate. Angel.

All the sudden, I was swarmed with the feeling of guilt. This is a first to be sure. I have never felt guilty about anything I did.

"But Cullen darling, it is obvious you are attracted to me, and you know how I feel about you. We both have won every challenge—we are the strongest among our pack. Don't you thi..."

"Enough Layla! I don't want to discuss this anymore. You are not my mate and never will be. Now get out of my office."

Not once has anyone spoken to her like that. She jumped off the desk, and walked straight to the door. Before exiting, she turned around to face Cullen. "You will regret this Cullen. Don't you dare think you will be able to call me over and expect me to bend over before you whenever your in the mood," growled Layla. She then exited, slamming the door hard behind her.

What have I done? I have found my mate!—and this is how I celebrate it? Wait a second! Why the hell should I feel guilty about this? She isn't my mate yet! I can sleep with whoever and whenever I want. Just like she can sleep with any...

Growling. NO. She can't sleep with anyone! I won't allow that. She is MINE.

Standing up abruptly, I walk to the door. I need to go for a run to clear my head. This is getting ridiculous with the turmoil running through my head. I began to feel my body slowly changing. I look down at my hands, turning into large paws. Feeling my whole body shuddering as I feel bones growing, skin stretching. In what felt like minutes, were really just a matter of a seconds, before I was completely transformed into a huge midnight black wolf. I ran out the door, heading towards the forest that is behind the house.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Ugh! I'm home finally. How I survived through all of my classes, I have no idea. It seems like a miracle in itself.

"Hey everyone, I'm home!" I stated as soon as I stepped inside. I can hear already the family room t.v on. Most likely, everyone is there. I take off my coat, and place my bag down on the couch.

"Hey sweetie, dinner is in the microwave. I made a plate for you, and tried to keep it warm, but you may still need to heat it up a bit now," I hear my mom stating. "How was school?"

"It was fine mamusia. Same shit different day." I answered, as I started to heat up my dinner. Standing there in front of the microwave, waiting for it to be done, I slowly stretch out, arching my back, hearing a crack in my back.

Yup, that can't be good. Ugh.

I take the plate out, sitting at the kitchen table.

Mmmmm,

I just love home cooked meals. I couldn't ask for anything better. Smiling to myself, I ask, "So how was work mama?" Going and forking another yummy piece of chicken into my mouth.

Mmmmm mmmmm mmmm.

"Work was good. I hate Mondays. But Thursday I will probably have to be working late, since we will be closing out payroll," said mom.

As she continued to watch t.v, I can hear my sister typing away on her computer. She really does have that damn thing attached to her ass. I'm shocked she doesn't take it with her, when she goes to the bathroom. My relationship with my sister, Isabel, is as close as any sisters can be. And even closer than that! You see, my sister and I are twins—fraternal twins to be exact—but we do still look remarkably alike still. Even till today, there are people that still confuse us all the time. She is technically older than me by just a minute. But you can bet your ass she always reminds me...which really doesn't mean much to me, since I can easily kick her ass if I need to.

Grinning, at the numerous of fights we had growing up. Of course I always won every single fight—well majority of them.

"Hey, where is Donny?" I ask a bit louder, so that they can hear me over the t.v.

"Where do you think that lazy bum is? He is upstairs in his room playing his stupid ass games...as always!" said Isabel. "Did you really expect him to be doing anything productive with his day?"

Shaking my head. It's true. What did I really expect from Donny? He is your average 18 your old boy, starting out his first semester in college. Of course he wasn't as excited as I was for him, but then again, he always did hate school. Now if only that ass can make up his mind with his career choice.

After another hour or so, I decided it was really time for bed. I know it's not late by any standards, but I am just too exhausted. I can't even keep my eyes open, to try to read a bit of my book. Oh well, that will have to wait till tomorrow. As tomorrow is another early day at work.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Walking to PPPU, was another obstacle in itself. You would think since I went to bed earlier than I normally do, that I wouldn't be this sleepy. Guess again! It didn't help, that all night, my dreams were about that man I saw yesterday; especially his piercing eyes.

Come on Angel, snap out of it!

As I continue to fill up all the patient carts, I felt myself growing aware of someone staring at me. Slowly turning around, I almost had my knees buckling right then and there. It's him! The guy from yesterday! I am just confused as to why on earth he would be here. Oh, maybe he is lost? That must be it, since I saw him here at the hospital yesterday. Obviously he was visiting someone.

"Umm, can I help you sir? Are you lost?" I stated softly, even though it felt like my heart was going to burst right from my chest. I was getting slightly nervous now. He still hasn't said a word back to me. Did he hear me? Or did I say it too quietly? No, no, he must have heard me.

I can't believe it. Here she is. I know she asked me something, but it took a moment for my mind to catch up and comprehend, let alone form a sentence. "No, I am not lost. I never do anything that stupid, as getting lost," he stated firmly.

Taken a bit back by surprise by how he responded, I couldn't help but get a bit angry. No no, I have to be nice to the visitors and patients--even though some need their butts kicked—like this one! "Well, if you aren't lost, I'm sorry but I have to get back to work." I turned back around, to focus on my carts, trying to put the idiot out of my mind. After a moment or two, I can still feel him there. He better not be staring at my ass when I am bending over! That pervert!

Breathe Cullen breathe. If you would just stop staring at her ass perhaps you can form a damn sentence you fool.

Closing my eyes, I began to gain some control back.

"Sir, you are not allowed to be here at this moment. This area is closed to patients and guests and won't be open until 7:00am." I stated carefully. I am getting really tired of just being stared at like a piece of meat.

"Oh?" I asked stepping more into the area. I can sense she was getting a bit upset. So, my mate had a little temper. Well I suppose I can easily take care of that. "I'm pretty sure you wont mind Angel if I stay here."

"Actually, I do mind..." stating a bit forcefully " as I don't want to get into trouble." It took a moment for my mind to catch up with what he said. "Wait... how did you know my name?" I took a step back. Ok, was this some kind of weird stalker psycho type of a guy? I can see his eyes narrowing and I could have sworn I heard a...growl? "What exactly do you want?"

Then all of the sudden, two men entered into PPPU. What the hell is going on? Staring at all three, I couldn't help but make sure my rings on my fingers are aligned and ready just in case I have to throw a punch or two.

"Now Cullen, what on earth have you done to make her look so frightened?"

Well that's interesting. So his name is Cullen. Well at least that's something good to know, just in case if I have to identify or give any facts to the police.

"Maybe she wouldn't be this frightened if you two idiots didn't just stroll right in," Cullen stated a bit too sharply than was necessary.

"And maybe

SHE

is standing right here! And I'm not frightened!" I stated slightly louder, so that they all could hear me. "Also I do not appreciate you three talking about me while I am standing right here!" Perhaps that wasn't the brightest thing to do, but at this point, I was just barely hanging on to my anger. I do not like being talked about while I am standing right here!

Cullen, didn't seem too happy with what I said, while the other two men were smiling, obviously finding something amusing with what I said. "There is no need to raise your voice Angel. We are standing right here," Cullen tried to say calmly.

"Again, how the hell do you know my name...Cullen," I practically spat out his name with as much venom as I possibly could. "And as for your friends, they can easily follow you out the same way that they came in. None of you are suppose to be here".

Cullen was rendered speechless for the first time in his life. Had this mere slip of a girl actually have the audacity to raise her voice at me...again? I can feel Gavin and Owen step closer to me; though I don't know whether to defend me, or to protect Angel from me.

"Now Angel, I think we all should calm down," Gavin tried to appear as friendly as possible. The last thing I want to do is scare the future Madame Alpha.

"Don't tell me what to do, especially since I don't know any one of you. I want you all to turn around and leave right now before I call security," I stated angrily.

"Now, please don't do that. What I'm trying to explain is that we..."

"Excuse me? You better watch who you are talking to Angel. I will not tolerate that from anyone and that includes you," Cullen said loudly. Who did she think she was? No one has ever raised their voice to me before!

"I better? I'm sorry, what the hell did you say?" How dare he talk to me like I'm some kind of child! He doesn't even know me. "Listen here you stupid arrogant foo.."

"You better watch what you say Angel. You will not like the consequences..."

"Maybe we should all calm down and try to take a breather," Gavin tried to calm this situation. This hasn't gone at all how he thought it would. But it seems as if both Cullen and Angel either didn't hear him, or just chose to ignore him. Angel looked ready to pounce on the Alpha—and that would be a sight to see! Gavin tried to hide his smirk, she definitely has guts.

"You better leave. I'm calling security," as I walked to the phone that was behind the desk. I just reached over and picked it up, when I felt a hand grabbing onto the hand that was holding the phone—ripping it right from me. Next thing, I knew, Cullen gripped my arms tightly, holding me right in front of him.

"You will learn Angel. One way or another, I can promise you that." Cullen said quietly, but still with a fierce voice. I was looking straight up into his eyes, not knowing whether to be afraid or aroused.

Staring into her eyes, I knew I had to control my own temper. Up close, I could easily see that her eyes were even more beautiful than before. They were hazel, but with a bit of an orange speckle circling her irises. But I can clearly see, she was scared now---but it was not hard to smell a very light scent of arousal. Without second thought, my lips descended to hers. His mouth gently brushed hers. Angel tried to turn her head but Cullen caught her lower lip and held her captive. He kissed her again, applying more pressure, and although he had planned only to give her one chaste kiss, he found that he wanted more from her. His mouth opened over hers, and when she tried to resist the invasion of his tongue into, Cullen used one hand to force her chin down. His tongue took what his body craved, stroking and exploring and penetrating the sweetness she offered.

Angel was shocked by the initial touch of his tongue. She tried to recoil in embarrassment, yet heard herself gasp with pure pleasure. She couldn't stop the kiss or her tongue, when it touched his, timidly at first, and then with increasing ardor. She heard his deep growl of encouragement and put her arms around his neck to bring him closer. She didn't know it was possible, but the kiss deepened, became hotter. She clung to Cullen's massive shoulders and drank her fill, giving and taking the pleasure that flowed like sweet wine between them.

The longer they kissed, the more Cullen demanded. He was rough in his passion, holding her face to gain deeper advantage. Never had a single kiss so affected him, so aroused him. He wanted her with a burning need that no other woman could satisfy. His tongue penetrated, receded, and then plunged in again and again. Angel, lost in an ocean of sensation, began to tremble and felt liquid heat flow through her body. The intensity of what was happening between them frightened her. There was this craving, this pull that she couldn't even begin to try to explain. It felt as if my heart, my soul already knew that I should give in to him, but my head was screaming against it. She finally pulled away and had to use the wall for support. Her breathing was as ragged as her thoughts.

It took a full minute for Cullen to gain control of himself and his wolf. The wolf just wanted to stake his claim over Angel, but Cullen knew that there will be a lot of explaining to do before that is even possible.

Crap.

At first I didn't know what to think. I should be angry at him...shouldn't I? That asshole took complete advantage of me. How dare he kiss me? But the small voice in my head was saying otherwise. So many emotions were going through my mind. Anger, lust...embarrassment, lust...anger, lust. I kept my gaze downcast, lest he read the embarrassment in my eyes. I had behaved wantonly and thought that he now must think I'm easy—a loose woman without any morals. Anger took hold of me. Without much thought, my hand quickly connected to his cheek, slapping him hard.

"How dare you kiss me?" I demanded

Both Gavin and Owen just stared in complete shock. They had no idea what to do—no one has ever lifted their hand to Cullen and survived to tell the tale. Gavin sent a message fast to Cullen,

'Cullen, be careful. She is your mate. You can not go and scare the hell out of her and expect to mate before the next full moon. Control yourself!

Cullen stood there in utter shock and soon replaced by anger. Cullen heard Gavin's voice in his mind.

She dared to raise her hand to me?

Cullen understood what Gavin was trying to tell him, but now he had to some how get control over his wolf that just wanted her to submit to us. "I will only tell you once," Cullen said through his clenched teeth, "You dare to ever raise your hand at me again, I will not be able to control myself again. Now then," again taking a deep breath trying to calm down some more, "Angel, you can't deny there isn't anything between us. Surely you felt the spark...the pull," Cullen stated calmly. I know I felt the pull, so it's easy to assume, she did too.

"Ye...It doesn't matter if I felt ...something. You just don't go around and kiss random people!" Angel continued with, "and for crying out loud, someone could have seen us! I work here you know and there is no way in hell I am losing this job!"

At this time, Gavin cleared his throat, trying to get both of our attentions. He couldn't hold back his grin as he said, "Well, now that you two have been introduced to one another so nicely, let me introduce myself. I am Gavin and this here is Owen." Owen gave a curt nod in the direction of Angel. "There is so much to explain, and I feel that it would be best if we can all sit down together and talk things through. Ms. Angel, you need to know that none of us would ever dream of hurting you. You are completely safe with us."

"Safe?" I couldn't help but grunt at what Gavin just said to me. I can feel Cullen's eyes piercing right through me. I tried not to pay attention, but I couldn't help but blush slightly under such scrutiny. I began to feel uneasy all over again.

"Weren't you ever taught any manners? It is not polite to just stare at people!" as I quickly whipped my head to his direction.

Now all Cullen could do was smile slightly. He rarely let anything show on his face, and now he was acting like a young pup on his first night out on the town. "Angel, I am sorry that we got off on the wrong foot. Perhaps, we can start over? It would give me great pleasure if you would join me for dinner. And then afterwards we will have the opportunity to talk about a few very important matters."
