Mary came to and found herself lying on her bed.“Take it slow” Damon said softly “you almost hit your head.” Mary looked at Damon. ‘He looks confused!, what does he have to be confused about?’ She thought.“What? Why do you look confused? Excuse me if I haven’t seen men turn into wolves before, excuse me for not knowing that there are things out there that look human but are actually animals in disguise. How in the heck was I supposed know that?” Mary huffed angrily.Damon tilted his head slightly,” not just wolves you know.” “What? Why do you mean not just wolves? What else is there?” Mary looked at Damon as though he was truly insane.“Well vampires, witches, warlocks and elves… mind you most of them are almost extinct except for those damn vampires… those ones just multiply quicker than we can exterminate them.”Mary laughed and laughed. “Oh and my fairy-godmother is going to swoop in and turn me into a princess to right?” She shook her head… ‘he really must be crazy” she thought
“I will come with you, but I have to leave flora and Phil a note at very least. I owe them that much and more for everything they have done for me.” Mary says to Damon.“You write them a note and pack your things. I will call the pack house and have a room made up for you. Greg is waiting in the car I will get him and he can help load your stuff in the trunk.” Damon smiles and puts his hand on Mary’s shoulder.“Pack my stuff? But I can’t just leave for good…this is my home.” Mary feels panic setting in at the thought of abandoning the wonderful people who took her in and treated her so well.“Love, I know you feel like you owe these people, and maybe you do, but I promise you, when you first turn it is going to be painful and you do not want them around for that. You are doing them a favour. Once you adjust, if you want to come back, it will be up to you, but I promise you, I will make sure they have help and won’t hurt for money for all they have done for my mate.”Mary knew he was b
Greg drove for what felt like hours. Mary stared out the window trying to keep track of exactly what roads they took, just in case.Damon watched Mary spellbound.“You are gonna love the pack.” Greg offered. He smiled in the rear view mirror. Mary looked and briefly smiled back. She didn’t know what to think or say. Her head was spinning and going a million miles at a time. ‘What am I doing? Why am I agreeing to this? Am I crazy? I don’t even know these people…they could be serial killers for all I know, and here I am willingly getting in a car with them, packing up my only home and leaving with them!’Greg finally turns a corner and heads down a long driveway. “We are here.” Damon says calmly. Mary watches as they pull up to the biggest house she has ever seen. As soon as the car stops the door is opened by a young girl. “Welcome home alpha, beta.” The girl says happily. She looks at Mary and smiles. “Hi! My name is Sarah. Welcome to the pack. Can I show you to your room?” Sarah
After Mary”s things were all put away she followed Sarah down stairs. The house was so big it was more like a palace. As they walked down the stairs Sarah pointed out where her room was.“If you need me anytime, you just come knock on my door ok? Sarah said kindly.Mary nodded her head happy to have a friend. And she could feel it. Sarah truly wanted to be her friend. Mary felt like she was walking on clouds she was so excited.They continued down to the main floor where Sarah took Mary down a hallway. They passed set of double doors that Sarah explained housed the library. They passed a glass wall where she could clearly see an enormous gym on the other side of the glass. There were lots of people in there so Mary quickly walked by trying not to attract any attention.They then came up to a door near the end of the hall. Sarah knocked on the door and then opened it.“Alpha, we are here.” Sarah said loudly.What does she mean alpha? What the heck is an alpha? Mary thought to herself.
Mary turns the corner running at top speed, “Come on, I need a place to hide” she thinks to herself. Behind her she can hear the pounding footsteps of the two men chasing after her. “Why did I have to stop in that restaurant, I didn’t need food that badly.” She thought to herself.“Come on little lady, we just want to play.” One of the men yells out.”“Yeah, play” chuckles the other one. Mary picks up her speed and turns another corner looking behind her to make sure they haven’t caught up yet. “Ouch” Mary spams into something solid and nearly falls to the ground, but a strong hand grabs her and keeps her from falling. “Oh my god they caught me” Mary thinks in a panic and tries to pull away.“Hey, it’s okay, I am not going to hurt you.” The voice is deep and rough and Mary feels a chill run through her body. She looks up and finds herself looking into the bluest eyes she has ever seen. “I am sorry for running into you” she says while trying to catch her breath. “ There are two men
Damon’s povI was just leaving the local human bar after a meeting with some other pack alphas. There has been trouble with rouges and all the packs decided to have a meeting at a neutral location. I was walking down an alley towards my car happy that a pact had been made to work together to rid the area of rouges when around the corner came a little wisp of a girl. She crashed into me and I barely had time to catch her before she fell to the ground. The instant I touched her, I felt my skin tingle and the second I caught a whiff of her scent my wolf screamed out “our mate!”It took everything in me to restrain my wolf and I tried to calm this beautiful little creature that was fated to be mine. When the two men who had the nerve to even think about harming my mate turned the corner i wanted so badly to tear them to pieces, but there were rules and hurting humans was against those rules. Everything happened so quickly, i put my mate behind me to protect her and warned the men to g
“It’s been 3 days. I am healed, I need to find her” My beta Greg didn’t believe me when I said I found my mate in a human village of all places.“Damon, I understand you want find her, “Greg pleaded,” but what good will you be to her or anyone if you are not 100%? Besides, I have sent people out looking based on your description of her and no one has come up with anything. Mind you a better description would be helpful, small beautiful, blonde, blue eyes and smells like vanilla and honey doesn’t really narrow it down.” Greg chuckles.“I don’t see the humour in this!” I can’t believe he doesn’t understand how important this is to me.“Do you have any idea how important she is to me? I am already up against it being such a young alpha, and then not having a mate? Finding her will make such a difference and will help make our pack more powerful and united.” “I know that” Greg admits,” and honestly I agree having a mate will help, but your pack backs you and knows you had no choice but
Mary povI have been hiding out in this shelter for 3 days now. No sign of the man that turned into some sort of monster. I have spent the last few days trying to figure it out. My instincts about people are usually bang on, but my instincts were telling me I was safe with that man when clearly that wasn’t the case. Now I am not sure if I can trust myself to know who’s good or bad, and living on the streets on the run that is a very important ability to have. “Why did I ever go into that restaurant “ I mumble to myself not for the first time. “Mary, if you plan to stay another night you need to join group” Kristen says. Kristen is the head of the shelter and has it in her head that if we as a group talk about our lives and problems we can get past them and make better lives for ourselves.. sure like that’s gonna work. I roll my eyes and get up to follow her to group, after all it isn’t like I have anywhere else I can go tonight. “Ok ladies and gentlemen, today I want some new voic
