You went along with Harry to the pizza place. The alpha who's name you'd learned was Namjoon carried Misha and indulged him like no one ever had.

Flashback

"The kid is annoying, Malcolm.... He is so needy. Can't he just stay with the bitch?" Zephyr said glaring at Misha.

Misha started to cry. Malcolm turned and looked at the boy. He leaned down to his level and smiled a sickeningly sweet smile.

You knew something terrible was going to happen.

"Are you a bitch?" Malcolm asked expression not moving.

"Huh?" Misha asked confused he'd looked to you.

"Malcolm, he's just a boy..." You began.

You were immediately silenced with a slap.

" I asked if you were a bitch? Like your mother here. Are you boy?"

"No." Misha answered knowing even as a little boy that agreeing with his father would be easier for everyone involved.

"Good boy." He said smirking.

He turned and looked at you. His face filled with disgust. He once looked at you with what you thought was love but it never was. You knew that know.

"You've made the boy soft. When I get back he's staying with me permanently. You won't be making my heir a little bitch." Malcolm said taking your face in his hand and squeezing hard.

"Please don't take him from me." You begged.

"Don't worry. I'll put another in you soon." Malcolm said with a disgusting grin.

-Flashback end-

You shook your head of the memory. The lunch had illuminated many things for you and Harry.

One that Rose was a Luna. A true Luna. Those were rare and the fact that she was a human made it even more so.

Two they were mates. Ivy realized what it was that Namjoon held in his eyes while looking at Rose. It was love. You'd never had anyone look at her with love other than Harry or Misha.

Three Namjoon was very different than any alpha they'd ever met. He was patient, even when Harry was extremely rude to him. His gaze remained steady and calm. He never once raised his voice or lashed out. He allowed Harry to spit venom at him then calmly explained things further.

Harry and yourself were quite taken aback. They'd invited you all to the pack house. You agreed. Harry didn't. He went along with you anyway. Something inside of you was saying that you needed to go to the pack house.

Misha clung to Namjoon and Rose like his life depended on it. Namjoon took him for ice cream and bought him toys. He would make a good father one day. Rose was lucky. You were sitting next to Rose at the counter. You looked her carefully. You had so much you wanted to ask her. You decided to start with the one that was needling your mind.

What does it feel like?" You asked.

"What do you mean?" Rose asked looking at you with surprise.

"Having a mate?" You said eyes on the ground.

"It feels like you had been missing something without realizing it. It feels like you can do anything or be anything because you know at least one person has your back. It feels like home and safe." She said her voice full of emotions you didn't quite understand.

"Yeah I have never felt that before." You scoffed.

You thought about how Malcolm had tricked you and so many others. You felt disgusted with yourself again.

"I'm sorry." Rose said sadly.

"Don't be. I was a dumb young girl who thought infatuation and running from my fucked up parents was love." You said a tear falling from your eye.

"We all make those kinds of mistakes. Yours are just amplified because you are supernatural." Rose said patting your arm.

"You really are a Luna. It's so crazy. I have never seen one before. You have this power." You said looking up at her.

"Me? Power?" She chuckled.

"I immediately felt comfort and earlier at lunch you silenced the table with your words. That's a Luna ability. It's said in good packs that Luna's hold significant power with their alpha. I feel like yours must be a good alpha for you to wield so much after only a few days. You are also human. I didn't even know humans could be Lunas. That's amazing." You said looking at her with awe.

"He is a good man and alpha. I don't know about power but I do feel more confident since being with Namjoon. He makes me stronger." She said smiling to herself.

She must really be in love with him. You had never seen anything like this before. Namjoon would occasionally look up and Rose then smile this puppy dog smile at her. She'd do the same. It was like even though they were in the same room they missed each other. Your heart broke knowing that was something you'd never have. No mate would want you after you'd been tainted.

Before you knew it you were in Harry's car driving to the pack house. Harry complained the entire way. He didn't trust anyone. Not that you could ever blame him. Your lives hardly made trusting anyone easy. Misha however was having the time of his life. He was so excited to meet Namjoon's brothers.

You found yourselves in front of a lavish mansion. It was typical for pack houses to be large but this seemed excessive for just seven members.

You got out of the car and made your way to the door. Suddenly something began to fill you. A sudden urge to break down the door. Your mind was going fuzzy and your heart was racing.

"Ivy?" Harry asked.

You shook your head trying to clear it. What was happening to you?

"I'm fine." You said even though you definitely weren't.

You made it to the door and knocked. The door swung open and Misha bolted. He went straight for Namjoon.

Misha!" You said exasperated.

"He's fine." Namjoon said smiling.

Suddenly your body went rigid and something inside you was screaming. People were talking but you couldn't hear them. You looked around the room. You locked eyes with a dark curly haired man with deep soulful eyes. He was beautiful. His eyes looked at you like no ones ever had. Something inside you quietly told you what was happening.

Mate.
