-MILA-Opening my eyes I discovered that I was still in the alcove.I had been drifting in and out of consciousness, seeing strange flitters of light every time my eyes closed."Are you ready to tell me what the hell is going on?" I asked the second I was awake and able to lift myself into a sitting position."How are you feeling?" Lobo looked at me with concern etched into his eyes."Hot. Like I'm fevered. Every time that I close my eyes, I see these strange magical looking lights. Green, pink, light blue, silver. It's a bit odd, I've never really seen anything like it before," I turned my head, my eyes falling on the lake, "Until the lake, that is," I turned back to Lobo, "Is Selene okay? I'm starting to remember more about that night."Lobo was sitting close to me, he took my hands in his and sighed, "Mila, there is no easy way to say this, I know how much Selene meant to you," he shook his head, "I'm sorry, baby, she didn't make it."I heard his words, but my brain wasn't acceptin

-MILA-I was asleep when I woke up with a loud noise."Lobo?" I turned in the bed but Lobo wasn't there.I got out of the bed and made my way out of the room."Lobo?"He was standing at the window, staring out."We need to leave.""What? Why?""It's getting worse. Had a bunch of humans out here, throwing shit, screaming that I'm not welcome here."I sighed, "They're blaming you?""I'm a lycan. They don't want us here.""I get it. Where are we going?"He shrugged, "I don't know. Go back to bed, I'll figure it out.""Shouldn't we be figuring it out together?""Mila, you don't need any further stress on your plate. Go back to bed."I sighed and went over to him, wrapping my arms around him, I leaned my face against his back, "You really have to get better at letting me in if this is going to work out."I could feel his body tense at my words, "Sorry. I'm used to doing things alone.""Well, you have to get used to not doing things alone anymore."He turned around in my arms, looking down

-MILA-When Lobo said mountains, I hadn't been expecting an array of cabins. They were nestled between beautiful snowy mountains."Wow. I wasn't expecting this." It looked more like a resort than a Pack home."What, did you think we just lived out in the open when here?""Well, yeah?" I responded sheepishly.Lobo chuckled, his hand on my lower back, "Come on, let's go to the Packhouse, I'll introduce you to everyone."My stomach flipped from nerves. The beauty of the place had momentarily stilled my nerves about meeting the rest of the Lycans.He steered me to a larger cabin and as we stepped in I was met with a lovely smell of food. The cabin was a welcomed warmth from being outside in the stark snowy cold. Even though there was no snow currently falling, it felt like I was standing in a freezer out there.There were people around, talking in small groups and laughing.I quickly scanned them, trying to get an idea of them.There were only two women that I could see.It took them all

-MILA-I woke up with the sun hitting my face from the open window. Lobo wasn't in bed.I got to my feet and walked around the cabin but he wasn't there either.He didn't even leave a note or a text to tell me where he was going and I wondered what he expected me to do to pass the time while he was off doing whatever it was he decided to do.I shoved my feet into a pair of slip-on and walked outside. Although I had forgotten about the snow, it wasn't that cold, it was definitely warmer than the previous night.I was still in my shorts and tank top with a light jacket pulled on."Hey, you're up!" Shauna called as she walked over to me."Yeah. Where is Lobo?""Oh, he's training with the others. Here," she shoved her hand into her pocket and produced a small bag, "I packed up some herbs to help with the transformation. You should start taking them right away.""Thank you," I took it and put it into my jacket pocket, "It's nice out here in the morning."Shauna nodded, "It is. It's a beaut

-MILA-Walking out the cabin beside Lobo there was a heavy feeling of awkwardness hanging in the air.We had barely spoken after our conversation about love and I was left with a feeling of deep confusion.We walked into the clearing between the mountains and the trees, a little away from the cabins.The other members of the Pack were standing and I wondered what exactly would happen next.I knew that I had to accept to be his mate, but I was suddenly realizing that I didn't know what else to expect, and that worried me slightly.Lobo stepped up onto a large, smooth boulder and extended his hand out to me.He was shirtless, wearing some type of fur hung over his shoulders.I wore a long indigo dress provided by Shauna.I took his hand and climbed up beside him.To anyone looking in, no one would have realized that we were having any issues between us.He masked it well, no one would have guessed that we had such an awkward conversation only minutes earlier."I, Alpha Lobo of the Midni
