Zach's POV

I woke up with sun rays shining through the window blinds. The birds were chirping, everything seemed amazing at the outside but in the inside was a whole different thing. I felt like a part of me was missing. Like somebody just stole away a piece of my soul. It made me feel dead, like I should just give up on life. Why? Why am I feeling this way? I pushed back the thoughts into my mind and turned to look at my sleeping beauty. I smiled while looking at her, how did I get so lucky. Most people would reject a mate who looked like this, in all honesty I would've done it too but I have changed now I know what a rejection feels like. Just thinking about it brings pain into my heart. The rejection was so and still fresh in my mind. I know I might sound like a girl, but ask any rejected wolf the pain is unbearable sometimes. I diverted my attention from my thoughts to my mate. I realized she was awake. Wow, I lost track of time.

"Emma." I said.

"Ya Zachy." She said.

"Are you awake?" I asked.

"Noooo." She said sarcastically.

"Of course I'm awake." She added.

"Okay lets get up then." I said.

"Okay." She said.

I climbed out of the bed and went down the stairs. With Emma trailing behind me like a lost puppy. Mentally rolling my eyes at her actions, I approached the kitchen.

“Shit!” I cursed.

I completely forgot that Emma and I were both naked.

“What is it?” Emma asked.

I gestured to her body. She gasped in realization and attempted to cover herself up. I growled, she shouldn't have to hide her beautiful body from me. I took her hands in mine and led both of us up the stairs. We made our way back to her room and she changed into some extremely short shorts and a crop top. I growled again.

“You are not to wear this for other males to eye your body.” I said firmly.

She pouted, she is so cute I almost gave in. Almost.

“Nope.” I said, “change right now.”

She glared but eventually gave in, “Fine.” She said and stomped towards her closet.

Holding up a pair of khakis and a tee, I nodded in approval. She rolled her eyes in response and changed into her new outfit. Once she finished changing I found my shorts and put it on.

“Okay Emma I have to go to my pack and act as a Alpha should and protect it. Would you like to come back to the pack with me and play your role as a Luna?” I asked looking up her, only to see her throwing cloths in a duffle bag.

I chuckled at her enthusiastic approach towards leaving her pack then I realized what is she going to tell her pack? As if reading my mind, she told me that she already mind linked them. Organized, hot, beautiful, kind. She'll make a perfect Luna, I though proudly. My wolf howled in agreement. Oh so now he's talking to me.

“Wait Emma have you seen my shirt?” I asked her.

“Ya its on the bed.” She said blushing a little probably thinking about yesterday's events.

With a knowing smirk plastered in my face, I slipped on my shirt and decided to taunt her a bit. Starting with my important factor that I love dearest of my body.
