The Shadow Packs Luna

Prologue Pt. 3

Pt3. ~Time Skip: Age 12~

I wake up in the morning and go to the kitchen to get something to eat. When I get in there I see a guy with vibrant red eyes and black hair that falls to his shoulders and over his eyes slightly. I try to ignore him and make my sandwich so I can go back to Remy’s room. But it’s hard to focus when he’s staring right at me the whole time.

I manage to finish my sandwich and go back to Remy’s room. As soon as I get in the room I close the door behind me like always. She looks over at me and smiles softly. “What’s wrong pup?” she asks.

I go over and sit down on the bed next to her and start to eat my sandwich. “Who’s the guy with black hair, it goes down to his shoulders?”

“Oh you must be talking about Haze. I’m surprised you haven’t met him yet. He’s best friends with Zeke.” I look down thinking about going to his room and talking to him, but Remy sees right through me and chuckles. “He’ll be in his room. He has a sign on his door that says ‘knock first’ but don’t do it or he’ll just tell you to go away.”

I nod and finish my sandwich before getting up and heading to his room. I see the sign and do what Remy said and just walk in. “get-” i hear him start to say but he turns around and sees me. “What do you want… little wolf?” he asked.

He was agitated I could tell, but just like in the kitchen he felt just as drawn to me as I did to him.

“I wanted to ask you something.” i say

He motioned for me to sit on the bed which I did. He pulled up a chair and sat with his stomach against the back of it. “What did you wanna ask?”

“I wanted to know…” I look down and hesitate not knowing if I should be asking this.

I hear him sigh and he reaches over and tilts my head up so I’m looking at him. “It’s ok, just go ahead and ask,” he says softly.

I look at him and sigh. “Why do I feel drawn to you?”

~Haze's P.O.V.~

The minute I hear her ask that, I see her cheeks flush. I can also feel my cheeks heating up and I don’t respond for a few seconds. Then I sigh and stand up and go over to the door. “Wait here.” I say before leaving. I needed to get away for a bit because if I didn’t then I’d end up sinking my fangs into her neck and I didn’t want to do that to her. Not yet.

I’m about to leave the mansion when I feel Alex’s hand on my shoulder and I look back. “What?”

“I’m guessing Lexie asked what you didn’t want her to?” I heard him ask. I didn’t want to answer so I just looked away and sighed.

“You knew she was bound to ask you at some point.” I knew he was right and I hated it.

“Yea, I know. I just need some air.” I hear him sigh and he releases me.

I leave and go to a clearing in the forest that’s filled with wildflowers. It reminds me of her and I want to bring her here one day.

I look up at the sky and sigh, why does she have to be 12 even if she was 13 it'd be different and not as bad. I groan loudly out of frustration and I cover my eyes with my arms. Why do I have to want her so badly? I feel a tear slip down my face and I let it fall.

After a few hours it becomes nightfall and I decide to head back to the mansion. I go to my room to talk to Lexie but instead I find her past out on my bed. I smile softly to myself and go over and kiss her gently on the forehead before crawling in behind her and falling asleep, holding her close.

Remy comes in my room to take her back and sees she’s my arm around her and she smirks. I open my eyes and look at her. “What?”

“I came to get the pup.”

I glare at her and tighten my arm around Lexie slightly. “No.”

Her smirk widens. “Oh… is the vampire feeling protective.”

“Oh just shut up and go away.” She laughs then leaves.

I feel Lexie move and mumble, “who was that.”

“Shh, it was no one. Just go back to sleep.” she yawns and almost immediately falls back to sleep and she’s adorable.

~Lexie's P.O.V~

I wake up the next morning against Haze’s chest and I feel my cheeks heat up.

“You asked me yesterday why you felt drawn to me, correct.” I nod and start to get up but before I do, he pulls me back down. “Don’t… Move…” I freeze as he says that.

“Y-yea, i did.”

“It’s because… It’s because we’re mates.”

I move slightly, just enough to look up at him. “Ok, but why does that seem to bother you?” I asked him, wanting to understand.

“Because having a vampire mate is different then having a werewolf mate.”

“What do you mean? When a werewolf claims their mate they bite them, marking them as there’s” I ask, wanting to know. Both for him and because if I agree to this then i wanna know what i’m getting myself into.

“Well yes, the biting is still the same. In order for us to be mates, I would still have to bite you.” He sits up, puts his hands on my shoulders and looks down at me. “But it goes further beyond that, I would bite you then feed from you and because you're my mate I wouldn't have to feed as often but you would be the main source I drink from.”

I look at him confused. “Wait, couldn’t you still drink from animals?”

“I mean… I could but it wouldn’t be the same. I wouldn’t get full like I should and it wouldn’t taste the same either.”

“Ok and what if-”

“I refuse.” he says, cutting me off.

“But-” at that point Alex walks in and cuts me off.

“Haze it’s her choice just as much as it is yours and she’s old enough to make the choice.”

“How could you possibly know Alex?” I heard Haze and he didn't seem happy about Alex pushing him

“How about you take a guess.” Alex said a bit more harshly than either me or Haze expected. Haze's eyes got wide.

“Remy.”

All Alex does is nod.

Haze sighs and looks between me and Alex.

Alex then walks out leaving me and Haze alone yet again. “Are you sure you want to do this?”

I look up at him and nod. “Yes, I'm sure.” I said this and I heard Icicle complaining. “We should not be doing this!” Icicle yelled. I could tell she's mad but I didn't listen to her.

Next thing I knew I felt Haze tilt my head to the side and I felt him lightly kiss my neck. I closed my eyes and let out a slow breath I didn't realize I was holding.

~Haze's P.O.V~

The minute I heard her fully agree I did what she asked while trying to be as gentle as possible.

I tilled her head to the side to get better access to her neck as I started to gently kiss her neck. I saw her close her eyes and let out a slow breath and I smirked and I lightly brushed my fangs over her neck and bit down.

The minute I bit down she moaned softly. It took me by complete surprise since she was, well, 12 but I didn't stop. I bit down deeper so my fangs were completely in her neck and she made no move to stop me so I continued.

I flicked my tongue against her neck several times before starting to drink some of her blood and I, in turn, moaned softly. “God damn, her blood tastes so f*****g good.”

I took a few more sips before pulling away. As soon as I do I see my bite marks still on her neck and I smirk knowing she's mine and my smirk gets bigger when I see the mark on her chest.

~Lexie's P.O.V~

I look up at Haze as he pulls away and I see his smirk and I'm confused. All he does is point to a mirror, “go look.” I look at him then I get up and go to the mirror and I notice both the bite marks on my neck and the tribal heart on my chest.

I turn and look back at him and my hand reflectively touches the mark on my chest. “It's a permanent reminder that I marked-” I don't even let him finish his sentence before running over and wrapping my arms around his neck in a hug and he gratefully returns it.

Over the next several years I spent almost all my time with Haze and I don't regret anything that happened and I hope he doesn't either. I met several other vampires as well and they all seem really nice. Well, save for two of them I also grew closer to Remy and my cousin, Alex. Oh and I ended up attending my grandpa's funeral and Haze was the only one I'd talk to for about a month.
