Arielle's POV

"You should reach your destination straight ahead"

I was really getting tired of hearing that robotic voice so when 'she' said that my destination was straight ahead I was happy to say the least but then I remembered why I was on this dirt road in the first place. It was already one in the afternoon, and when I pulled into the address that Cara sent me I felt astonished at the sight that laid before me. I do not even know how to describe how amazing this house was, this house was probably twenty times the size of my motel room. When I stopped in front of the large black gates it only took a few minutes for the gates to open for me to let my car in. As I drove my car down the long drive way I could not stop myself from looking at all the different shrubs and trees and flowers that were littered in the yard for everyone to see, it made me smile at how beautiful it was.

When I finally made it up to the front of the house I saw multiple people of different ethnicities and genders and statues standing in front of the house watching me as I parked my car in one of the multiple empty parking spaces that were available. Once I parked my car I pulled out my key before opening the door and stepping out, shutting my door with a loud bang and I looked up to see Cara and I jogged my way to where she stood. When I made it to where she was standing I could see that she like many of the others behind her had pink eyes as if they had been crying for awhile, I took a few deep breaths trying to calm my racing heart, Man I really need to work out more. But that was not important right now I looked at her in the eyes

"What happen, why did you need me here so fast? What did you need to tell me?"

I had to suck in a whole breath of air because I said that sentence so fast that i did not even breath between words like a normal human should and I ran out of breath as I was catching my breath yet again in the past five minutes she looked at me as she begun talking

"Arielle, What I am about to tell you is very important, and most likely going to be pretty weird to you. Please do not freak out, we really need you right now."

I looked from her face looking over her and taking in her solemn face before I looked to the few people that stood around us to see that they had the same look on their face as they had their eyes on me and when I made eye contact with a few of them they tried to give me a small smile to comfort me before lowering their head to the floor. I looked back at Cara nodding my head towards her

"Okay, tell me what it is and what happen to Zander."

She sucked in a breath as she nodded her head before she swallowed nervously as she looked at me with a look that made my stomach clench in fear at what she was about to say, Please don't say you're a cult of flesh eating humans and I have to sacrifice myself so their leader could live.

"Arielle we are all werewolves"

werewolves. Okay . . . I think I can handle this . . . At least I don't have to sacrifice my flesh to their cannibal leader . . . at least I hope I won't have to. I looked from her to everyone that was around us to see if they were playing some joke on me and Ashton Kutcher was going to jump out of the shrubs and yell that I have been Punk'd but I was only greeted with seriousness. I felt my face as all the emotion from my face drained and my mouth was slightly ajar as I looked at Cara before muttering "werewolves?" she just nodded her head at me

"I know this is a lot to take in but we really need you, our pack was attacked by a large group of rogues about a thousand of them to say the least, rogues are wolves that have no pack and no self control over themselves most of the time. They must have come together to attack us because we are the most feared pack and Zander is the most feared Alpha and they must have thought if they took him out more packs would fear them. But we killed them all, but a few of our pack mates including Alpha Black were injured in the attach. Zander has not woken up in weeks and I thought if he had his mate here it would help him."

I was lost in my thought thinking about everything they had just said to me. On a more serious note If they were really werewolves maybe I could stay here and they can protect me from my father. I mean he is as human as am . . . so they can prot- Wait did she just say mate? Like MATE, MATE?
I looked up at her and into her eyes before saying "Mate?"

"yes you are his mate and you are our pack's Luna"

Luna? Wait where have I heard that before, oh! It is what people have been calling me . . . oh no wonder they have been calling me that, it makes sense now.

"Okay where is Zander, I want to see Zander"

She only nodded her head slowly at me before she turned around to the door walking into it beckoning me to follow her into the beautiful house. When we walked inside, The inside was even better than the outside but I quickly looked away as I followed her to what she called the west wing of the house saying that there was a hospital in that part. THESE PEOPLE HAVE THEIR OWN HOSPITAL FOR GOD'S SAKE. When we made it to the west wing of the house, I could smell all the hospital smells in the air seeing doctors and nurses doing was they do around the place and when we neared a plain door I assume had Zander's unconscious body behind it because I felt my heart clench in pain again, the same one I felt this morning and seeing as she said I was Zander's mate than this had to do with something about us being mates. When we finally made it to the door she turned to me

"you are really okay with all this werewolf stuff Luna? "

I kind of laughed in my head deciding not to tell her my first thought was her and her people being flesh eating humans as I gave her a nod before I grabbed the cold handle of the door pushing open the door and walked inside shutting the door before turning to the windows that showed the hallway pulling all the blinds down so I could get some privacy with him. When I turned my body around to face Zander I saw him laying on the bed with bruises and cuts laying all over his body and he had a thing around his nose probably helping him breath better. Before I could stop myself the pain in my heart became too much and I felt my eyes fill up with tears and a soft sob fall out of my mouth as my heart clenched in even more pain seeing him like this. I knew I had a horrible feeling back at the motel and now I know why, my 'mate' was in horrible shape, and I did not like the way he looked right now.

When I walked to the bed he was sitting in I pulled the chair that was next to his bed and I sat in it. When I sat down I looked over him as I felt a stray tear fall from my eye and down my cheek. I do not know what came over me but I leaned myself closer to him and I grabbed his hand intertwining our hands together as I looked at him with my tear filled eyes

"Hey Zander, please wake up I need you. I need you to protect me. I knew when we met I had this feeling in the pit of my stomach that I liked you I just did not know why until now."

My eye swept over his bruised face and before I thought of a reasonable explanation on why not to do what I was about to do I leaned closer to him leaving soft butterfly kisses all over his face where I saw a bruise was. After a few minutes of just kissing all over his face I leaned back in my chair before I started speaking to him again

"Please wake up Zander I need you, Your uh . . . your pack needs you. We all need you please wake up."

After I told him that I brought his hand that was interlaced with mine up to my lips leaving a feathery kiss on it before slouching over the side of the bed placing my head next to our intertwined hands on the bed closing my eyes drifting into a deep slumber seeing as I was so tired from the weeks of no sleep from all the worry I was getting from not seeing or hearing from my friends.

* Six Hours Later *

I could feel myself start to come out of my slumber as I felt some movement on the bed that I was currently using as a pillow, a very uncomfortable pillow. I really did not want to get up right now still feeling my eyes ache for sleep so I kept my eyes closed as I heard a low groan come from Zander who was sleeping on the bed and I felt as he begun to sit up on the bed. After a few seconds I heard him breathlessly mutter 'Arielle' before I felt a pair of warm lips place a kiss on my hand that was still intertwined to his hand, this action sent butterflies through my stomach making a small unnoticed smile come onto my face before I heard the door to the room open and a soft gasp and Cara's voice saying

"Alpha, you're awake?"

When Cara said this, I heard a soft growl that I am assuming was Zander because it stopped when I pulled his warm hand closer to my face rubbing it against my face, cuddling it, which in turn made Zander let out a soft purr sound. Which was a little creepy but also a small bit adorable.

"Why is my mate here and how long had she been here?"

When he called me his mate I was internally screaming because it made me really happy that he would label me as such. I heard a small amount of movement and then I heard Cara speak again.

"I called the Luna so she could come here and she has been here since one in the afternoon."

"What did you tell her to get her here and it is seven at night already she has been here for six hours!"

When he said this I heard a small whimper come from the part of the room I am only guessing Cara was currently in, I could basically feel the anger radiating off of Zander's body.

"I told her that you and a few others had been hurt alpha . . ."

I felt movement come from the bed and then I felt coldness on the palm of my hand from Zander standing up from the hospital bed and letting go of my hand. After a few moments I heard footsteps and then I heard Zander's voice a little farther away from me than before.

"What else did you say to her pup"

"I told her that we are werewolves and that she is your mate"

Once she finished her sentence I heard a deep growl come from Zander that made my body shudder but not in fear, I begun to move because I wanted to help Cara, well not get killed by Zander but it did not work out the way that I thought it would because right when I went to sit up pain ran up my back making me let out a whimper, when I tried to open my eyes i squinted at the bright light from the room and then closed my eyes again. When I whimpered the growling stopped abruptly and I felt a warm hand that sent shivers through my body being placed on my back. I did not even have to look up from the bed to know that it was Zander who put his hand on my back, so I turned my body around to his not even looking up at his face and buried my head in his shoulder breathing in deeply, but unnoticeably because that would be a little creepy and then encircled my limbs around him.

I cuddled myself deeper into him as I heard him let out the same purr sound from earlier again before I heard him utter to Cara 'Leave us'. After I heard the door to the hospital room shut I felt myself getting picked up from the chair I had been in for what seems to be a while, my wrapped legs were already around his body as I felt him sit down on the bed putting his head into my shoulder leaving soft kisses onto my neck and shoulder. Which might have been weird to normal people but seeing as he was a werewolf this had to be normal to be him, to be so loving to his mate after only knowing her a day, not counting the weeks we did not see each other even though he was on my mind all the days. After a few seconds of just sitting on his lap cuddling into him he finally spoke to me, in a deep hushed voice

"Baby are you okay?"

I felt my heart swell when he called me baby before I reached down to my feet and pulled my shoes off throwing them on the floor before leaving soft kisses on his neck before saying a soft "yeah" When I said this he groaned slightly into my neck as he place his hands on the bottom of my back and the top of my bum and he pulled me closer to him where there was little to no space between the two of us. After that I felt him smile into my neck

"I am so glad I got to wake up to you being by my side . . ."

When he said this to me, I felt extremely happy, I let out a soft giggle before I cuddled into him more. Once we were cuddled up to each other for a few more than what seemed to be three minutes I felt him lift his head away from my shoulder whispering to me in my ear

"Arielle babe we have to talk."
