Recently, the whole school has been excited about the imminent arrival of the Lycan King.

Except me.

I was dragged to a ridiculous stage, forced onto my knees for a public punishment.

Since the Lycans took over the human world, getting beat up has become routine for me.

"You again, human girl. Heard you openly defied our rules this time.

"I bit the inside of my cheek hard and and didn't make a single sound.

After minutes of torture, he held my arm in the air.

Blood dripped from the wound and the pattern he had made was on show for everyone to see.

'HUMAN SCUM'"Never challenge Lycans' authority.UNDERSTOOD?" he spat, releasing my arm, sending me tumbling off the stage.

Ashamed? Not a chance.

I brushed off the dust and walked through the crowd, head held high, meeting gazes of pity and disgust from both humans and lycans alike.

The only thing I hate more than lycans, is humans who are mates to them.They forgot our tragic past. They were traitors.

If I were destined to be mated with one of those vile lycans...I would prefer .

I looked down to check the wound on my forearm and ran into someone head on.

I'm stunned. He must be the hottest man I've ever seen.

His eyebrows knitted together quickly and his breath hitched in his throat as he looked at me. "Mate!" He whispered, his eyes fixated on mine.

No, no, no, no, no...' I gasped, stepping back.He growled softly, advancing, but I swiftly melted into the crowd.

"The Lycan King is arriving. Everyone, auditorium, now." The principal's voice crackled over the speakers.

I looked around and didn't see that stupid wolf.With a sigh of relief, I followed the crowd to the auditorium.

The king clearly was the man with the crown on his head, standing next to our principal.

I don't know why, but I felt a sense of familiarity with him. Achoo!The girl next to me made a noise, and the king's head whipped toward us. "Mate!"My eyes bulged out of my head as I snapped up to regard the guy who was obviously the king.

His eyes were locked on mine as he began to advance very quickly.

Oh great. That's why he looked familiar, he was the same guy who I just bumped into.

The one who claimed I was his mate...
