Zane POV

My mate, Tasha gets off of Carlos and starts heading towards the cabin. She is so impressive and strong. I mean, when all of us saw Carlos and her sparring, it was unbelievable.

With Carlos's permission, all of us start following Tasha with Carlos watching us.

"At least he is letting us stay the night, but what are you going to do about tomorrow?" Mason asks. I'm not sure yet, but it seems Tasha has some kind of bond with Carlos. I'll probably have to get close to Carlos so I can be with my mate.

"That's to figure out tomorrow, right now I need to focus on getting through tonight in the same place as my mate."

"Oh man, yeah I bet this is going to be a challenge for you." Luke taunts.

"Shut up, you have your own problems to figure out too Mr. Hollow." I emphasize at the end.

"Oh come on, we can get through this together. We always have." Kenna tries to lift the mood.

We make it to the cabin and walk in and take a good look at the interior. There's not much to it, just a little lighting, a table for four with a couple softas and a fire place. In a corner there is a place with some food and water stacked along with a fridge.

"Just because you get to stay here, doesn't mean you touch or eat whatever you want. I will get you food and only water. Tasha, can you go grab some pillows and blankets for our um... guests?" Tasha huffs but agrees. As soon as she's out of sight, Carlos turns to us.

"All of you better leave us alone when tomorrow comes. I will lead you out of the Woods at dawn tomorrow. Never come back, you have no idea what we are capable of." Carlos demands.

That makes Arwan angry, and he tries to break loose, but I manage to hold him in even though I am becoming angry too. Doesn't he know mates cannot be apart for long periods of time?

Everyone starts mind linking each other about our future Luna and assure them I have an idea and they quiet down.

Carlos smirks and looks at me. "If you have a grand idea of trying to convince Tasha to leave me, good luck because it will not work."

"How do you know; we are mates, and we belong together." I remark

"You have no idea what she's gone through." His face softens but only for a second. Tasha reappears before I can say anything back.

Her hands are full of blankets and a couple blankets that she dumps in front of us. Maddie and Kenna lay out the pillows and blankets for us boys. As the girls take both sofas.

Tasha looks at me and I walk towards her to wrap my arms around her. She steps back and looks at Kenna. She must have given Tasha some signal because Tasha looks back at me and wraps her arms around my waist and I immediately do the same. I breathe in her scent as long as I could before she pulls back and whispers a good night.

"Goodnight." I say back as she walks away and disappears to her bedroom.

"Dude, come on! Its late!" Mason says to me.

"Okay, I hear ya." I take one more glance where Tasha left before laying down next to Mason.

"That was great! I love her scent." Arwan starts talking now. I have a feeling, I won't be getting much sleep tonight.

"Let's go to her right now! We should be sleeping with her." He yells

"We have to be patient; she is clearly different from others." I try to reason with him

"Of course she is! She is a lycan's mate!" He exclaims "We must be with her at all times!"

I don't think she knows we are mates anyway. She doesn't act like it." I say sadly.

"Don't be ridiculous, she does feel something. We saw pieces of her life when you first touched her. She was clearly abused and went through something horrible. Its like we need to teach her how to enjoy life with a mate with us."

"Yeah but-

"Wait, listen" We both stop and listen. It's quiet but I can hear it. Footsteps passing us and opening the door. Our mate. Where is she going?

"Follow her."

"Already on it."

I quickly but quietly get up and follow her scent which leads to the rooftop. How did she get up there? I look around and see a couple boulders against the house. Ah ha!

I climb on top of them and i find that there is not much space left to the roof. I grab the end of the roof with my hands and pull myself up. I collect myself, unsure of this but also my mate is up here somewhere. That's when I heard a growl and next thing I know, I'm on my back with claws to my neck.

"Why did you follow me?" Ah, her voice is so beautiful. Now's not the time.

"You are my mate and my lycan wanted to see you." She retracts her claws and lets me get up. I can tell she is still defensive. "Let me explain. My lycan, Arwan is a very strong beast so the stronger one is, the stronger the bond between mates. I'm sure you feel something too, right?"

She nods her head and puts her hand on her chest. "Right here and Sasha, my wolf tells me not to hurt you. That you can help us."

I suddenly, have this big burst of happiness inside of me and smile. "Yes, I feel it here too." Putting my hand on my chest. "I can also help you with anything you need. Always."

She hesitates but walks towards me and slowly reaches for my hand. Then she starts walking me on the other side of the roof. "I want to show you something." She stops and sits down, I immediately do so next to her.

"Move" I thought she said that to me but a huge oak tree that was hovering over the house moves. I look at her amazed, that must be a giant.  They must be all over the place in here.

"Look."  She says looking at the sky.  I do the same.

"Woah!  The sky is filled with bright stars and purple and blue with darkness.  It's like the galaxy itself. 

I look back at her as she is looking at the sky.  I test the waters and wrap my arm around her shoulders leaning her towards my shoulder more.  She looks at my hand on her shoulder then looks back at the sky.
