Troy
I have been watching my mate from a distance, ever since I found her 2 years ago, but I wanted to wait till she was 18 to approach her thinking it would make it easier on her to transition. I was out on a walk to clear my head after my father was killed by a rival pack. I head to my favorite spot, it is a small hidden clearing in the woods overlooking the city.
As I come to the opening I see her. Sitting on the bench looking over the city, her long curly red hair lays around her shoulders. She looks lost in thought, so I stay hidden in the trees watching her. Suddenly she starts looking around. Did she hear me? Her eyes a beautiful shade of dark blue scan the tree line but she doesn’t see me. I take in her scent it’s a sweet smell of honey and lavender. I could feel my wolf getting excited he wanted to meet her but not yet, for now I have to keep my distance.
Kate
When I wake my vision is blurry my head pounding in pain. I sit up quickly as I realize what happened. I grab my head at the sudden moment, I need to take it easy. I look around the strange room, where am I?
“Sleep good princess” a husky voices says from the corner of the room.
I jump not realizing someone else was in the room and see Troy sitting on a chair by the window watching me.
“Where am I?” I start to question.
“I know you have a lot of questions and I promise to answer them soon, for now let’s get you some food.” He says with a smile
“No I’m not going anywhere with you” I yell and dark for the first door I saw.
Running out the door and down the hall, when I look back to see if he is following me I run into something knocking me to the ground.
“Are you okay?” A strange man says
“No you have to help me” I explain
“Alpha..” he says taking his gaze to the floor
I feel someone grab my forearm and I turn to see Troy. His grab tightens on my arm as I try to break free
“I got it from here Jake” Troy says as Jake walks way leaving us alone
“Why are you doing this what do you want?” I snark
“Kate I’ll explain everything at breakfast I promise.” Troy says softly.
Without releasing my arm we walk down the long hallway. We come to a set of stairs that open up to the luscious living room and a big chandelier hanging in the middle of room, it’s beautiful. He leads me into the dining room. Where Jake and a young woman sits. He motions for me to have a sit. I slowly take a sit waiting for the right moment to try and escape. He sits next to me and starts putting food on my plate. Bacon, a slice of toast, some eggs, more. He can’t be serious, there is no way I can eat this much food. He must have notice the look on my face.
“Just eat what you want.” He sighs adding food to his plate.
We sit there in silence eating for what feels like forever before I decide to speak “You said you would explain, start talking.” I say bluntly not wasting any more time.
“Yes I did” he starts “I need you to keep an open mind can you do that?”
“Sure” I say shortly crossing my arms
“I am the leader of the North moon wolf pack, Jake is my beta second in command and this is his mate Molly.”He gestures towards the young woman. “We are werewolves You were kidnapped by our rival pack because you are my mate and future Luna of our pack. I’ve been watching you from a distance for 2 years waiting for you to turn 18. I thought it might make everything easier on you. I went looking for you on your birthday and saw Sam take you but I was to late he already drove off. I’m sorry I should have came for you sooner.”
“Your werewolves?.” I laugh “is this some kind of prank? Or cult?”
“No Kate it’s not a joke” he says sternly “you need to understand your situation and everything that is going to happen.”
“What do you mean? What is going to happen?” I question
“We are mates which means I have to mark you and since you are human the transition is going to be harder for you. Then there will be a mating ceremony where you introduce to the pack as there new Luna.”
“Marking? mating ceremony? What the hell are you talking about.” I start to panic standing up from the table
“Calm down I know it’s a lot to take in. We will talk thing slow it’s okay” he says trying to comfort me
“No, I have to get out of here” I bolt
Running back to the living room and out the front door. There is nothing but trees? I start running through the woods waiting to be anything but here. My lungs start to burn and my legs are going weak. Im not in the best shape, I don’t run or exercise so I didn’t make it far before having to stop and catch my breath. As I take in my surroundings I start to wonder if could be telling the truth? I sit on a near by stump to rest my legs. As it starts to rain I notice how beautiful it is, the trees dancing in the wind and the sounds of birds singing. I take a deep breath filling my lungs with the fresh air. And for a moment I let my mind wander, I could stay here forever it feels so free and relaxing. I’m startled my the sound of footsteps walking towards me.
