Arielle's POV

As I gazed at his wonderfully sculpted face I noticed that he held worry on his face. Maybe he thought that since I now know what him and his people are I would not accept him for who he is? I knew that if I were to tell him my secret about my past I would have the same exact look on my face seeing as I have already became undeniably attached to this place, to him. Just being with everyone here made me feel safe again and I have not felt this safe in a long time. I could see since I had not answered him right away it brought his worry up a notch because the frown lines on his forehead deepened.

"Okay talk"

He looked at me in the eyes before he grabbed my waist pulling me off of his lap moving me to where I was sitting next to him on the hospital bed. This made me feel cold, seeing as I only got the heat from his body coming through the side of my body and not through my whole body like I had been before.

"I know that all of this must be kind of weird, having your reality change to something different must be freaky. I understand if you do not want to have this type of life and do not want to be with a Mon-"

Before he could call himself a monster I placed my hand over his mouth softly so he could not call himself that word, I do not care what he has done in his life, he is not a monster. When I did this I saw that his face held shock seeing as I did that out of nowhere in the middle of his conversation. I looked into his eyes before smiling widely

"I want this Zander, being with you . . . it makes me feel all bubbly inside and I love that feeling I love feeling warm and safe. I miss being warm and safe."

I knew that I might regret this, staying here because I knew that my father would find me in the end and he would try to kill me but I couldn't leave now. When I finished my sentence I saw that he looked confused at what I said at the end of my sentence but the confusion was soon replaced with a joyous smile coming onto his face.

"Are you sure, are you being for real?"

I could hear the edge in his voice, he was excited but he was trying to contain it. Hearing this made me let out a soft giggle before I rolled off of the bed and put my sock covered feet onto the tiled floor before turning to face Zander telling him that I was hungry and I could go for some food right now. I walked to the door but before I could open it fully, it had been closed and I looked to the left of my head to see a tan arm. I turned myself around to look at Zander while giving him a 'What?' look.

"Beware darling I am a whole different person around my pack mates. Most of them don't even know I have found my mate yet."

When he said this I raised my left eyebrow before looking him over to see that he was in a short light blue hospital gown which made me give him a small smirk, almost in a cocky way.

"If you act different towards me I will put you in the dog house, no pun intended. Also you should probably change, Cinderella."

Once I was finished with telling him that I gave him a small innocent smile before moving his hand from the door opening it and walking out towards where I remembered the front doors were located. I knew after a few seconds that my handsome mate was following behind me in a pair of pants and a t-shirt that he changed into mighty fast might I add. On the way to where the dining room was I thought that if I were going to get use to this whole 'werewolf' thing I might want to get to know about the pack.

"So Zan what is our pack called?"

The word 'our' kind of just slipped out before I could stop it, but when I said it I heard the same weird purring sound that I heard in the room come from behind than I heard Zander's voice.

"It Is called The Blood-Moon Pack, my love"

When he called me his love I got this weird feeling in the pit of my stomach as I felt myself smile as continuing forward to the front of the house.

"That's a cool name, How old are you?"

At this question I slightly looked over my shoulder to look at Zander, to see that he was already looking at me with these intense eyes I've seen, that made me metaphorically melt into a puddle. I smiled to myself at this as Zander started talking

"I am Twenty Four, how old are you"

When he finished his sentence I saw that we had made it to the foyer, that is when I turned to him telling him that I was nineteen years old turning myself back around to go where I smelt the food coming from. I skipped to the swinging door where I heard people talking and laughing, but that stopped and everything was silent when I pushed open the door and walked into the small dining room. All twelve eyes from the six people who sat at the rectangular table turned to face me. I took a look around the dining room to see that it was really pretty, grand even. I looked at the paintings hanging on the wall for a few seconds before I looked back at the three females and three males; They must have been mates with each other because each of the males were paired with a female. I looked at the first girl who had clear olive skin and straight brown hair who looked no older than twenty years old as she looked at me as well. I could feel my face heat up at having this much attention on me, not really liking having all of these people staring at me. But that was cut short by the first girl speaking to me,

"Uh Hello, Who are you? I have never seen you around the pack house before."

I gave her a nervous smile as I felt my mouth dry slightly and I gulped, or at least tried as I was looking at her in the eyes

"Hello my name is Arielle and I smelt food, I am so hungry."

When I said this the second female I looked at, who had sky blue eyes and black hair looked at me with a small smile on her face.

"Yeah Celestea and the girls make the best food around."

I did not even notice during this whole time I had been standing in front of the swinging door until I was pushed roughly by it opening. When it hit my back I felt a slight sizzle of pain shoot through my back moving to my bum as I fell to the floor. When I hit the floor with a humph I saw the girls at the table stand up, looking to see if I was alright. I heard as one of the females gasp aloud and then I saw the first girl that spoke to me start talking to who I now saw was Zander standing in front of me.

"She did not mean to stand in front of the door Alpha"

I was already standing back up from the floor brushing any stray dirt particles from my pants as I turned my head and looked at Zander's face, I could see that he was looking me over to see if I had been hurt from him pushing me down. But I knew that he was doing it discreetly where the others in the room had not noticed. I could feel the slight pain in my back along with my bum. I looked him over before smugly saying.

"Well Zander aren't you going to say sorry to me?"

I had my back facing the table where the people were sitting and when I said this I heard the first male whisper "Oh no" silently to the others, but I paid no attention to what he was saying in the back as I stood with my hand on my hip looking at Zander in the face, I looked like a mother who was scolding her child for eating all the cookies in the cookie jar. I could see when I did this he looked me over with a small smile that only I caught before he answered in a mocking voice.

"I am so sorry Arielle I did not know that you were standing in front of the door."

When he said this I saw a smirk on his face, he was teasing me. This man. So this is how he wants to play huh? I could feel as I smiled seductively at him walking closer to him pulling my body closer to his, I could feel the sparks radiating from his body and mine already as I placed my hand onto his arm giving it a slight squeeze. I leaned closer to his face rubbing my soft cheek to his stubbly one sighing softly at the feeling I got from it. I leaned close to his earlobe whispering

"Baby can you please go get me some food?"

When I did this I could hear him take a deep breath in letting it out through his nose seconds later then he told me to take a seat at the table while he went to get the food I asked for from the ladies in the kitchen. When he said that I smiled in victory turning myself around with a large smile on my face walking to the table gripping one of the plush chairs pulling it out from under the table plopping myself down in it. When I looked up I was greeted with five surprised faces from 5/6 of the people at the table but the last 1/6 of the group was staring at me in distaste. After a few seconds of just silence the second male, who had a septum piercing and light brown short hair spoke up,

"You're his mate aren't you?"

When he said this I could feel my face heat up a small bit and a smile made it's way onto my face. While a small part of me felt, pride.

"Yes Zander is my mate, and I am -- your Luna"

Saying the word 'Luna' still felt slightly foreign to me seeing as I, have little to no knowledge about the whole werewolf community but I do know at least a few basic things from books I have read and movies I have watched . . . if any of the things that were said in them were any real. I mean, They most likely are not forced to turn into a ugly looking werewolf every full moon, right? After saying this I heard a small scoff which made me look up to look at the last guy, who had short black hair and intense eyes looking at me. From the corner of my eyes I saw the door that lead into the kitchen area sway a small bit, I knew that Zander was on the other side of the door most likely listening to everything that we were saying. When I looked at the male who made the scuff noise I heard the girl that was next to him whisper something that I could not hear because it was far too silent for me to hear from across the table. I looked over the male's face trying to get a feel of this guy before I put a serious look on my face, not liking the way he reacted towards Zander.

"Do you have a problem with that?"

At this he looked up from the table that he had currently been looking at. Looking at me in the eyes with his lip slightly crinkled up in distaste and much to the girls displeasure he spoke with an attitude and annoyance clear in his tone.

"I do Luna, You seem like a really nice girl. You deserve so much better than an asshole like Alpha Black. I was a rogue, a werewolf with no pack before I got here. If it were not for Zara saying that I was her mate I would be dead right now. I am sorry that the moon goddess has damned you with such an evil soul; A murderer. Monsters like him cannot feel love."

When he called Zander a monster it did not make me feel good. I did not like hearing him say such harsh things about my Zander, I don't even care what Zander has done in the past, or what he will most likely do in the future. I cannot judge him for his past if I did not want him to judge me for mine, when I end up telling him about my past. I could not stop myself as I pushed myself away from the table harshly as I stood up from the chair looking at the male in the eyes. If looks could kill.

"I do not have much knowledge about this whole werewolf situation but I am pretty sure that you are to respect your alpha. If you have a problem with Zander you can leave but do not voice your disrespect when I am in your presence. Oh and just to let you know even monsters can love."
