Rogue assassin

Chapter eleven: You have a mate, You must understand

~~~~ Date night ~~~~
I stand in front of the mirror smiling " I look good " I say to myself quietly but of course Mia can hear me because of her advanced hearing. " of course you do, you got dressed by moi " she says smugly. I shake my head and look at my outfit, a black skater skirt that stops mid thigh, a white wool jumper that tucks into the skirt and black pumps with a black bag to match. Mia put soft curls into my hair and lightly brushed them put giving my hair a wavy look and she did my make up lightly just enhancing my best features which are my eyes and lips. Mia pouts " somethings missing " she says thinking. Her mouth forms an ' o ' and she runs into the closet grabbing a black hat  and place it on my head " perfect " the two of us say simultaneously.

" ready to knock your mate breathless ?" Mia asks. I gulp and begin fidgeting, she grips my shoulders " honey you look beautiful and your going to have an amazing time with your mate, there is no need to be nervous ". I nod and take a few deep breaths " okay I'm ready now " I say and open the door going downstairs. I stand in front of Luke as he stares at me wide eyed and open mouthed. My wolf purrs loving the effect we have on our mate while I blush and look down interested in the floor. He places his hand under my chin tilting my head up to look at him " You look beautiful " he whispers huskily while his eyes are full of lust and love.

I smile and blush a deep crimson " thanks " I mumble feeling slightly awkward. Luke takes my hand and opens the door, leading me to his car. He opens the passenger for me like a perfect gentleman and helps me in. Luke leans down his breath fanning my cheek and lightly kisses it before closing the door. I take a deep breath to calm my wolf down as she just wants to jump his bones and quickly buckle up as he slides into his seat and starts driving. We sit in comfortable silence as he drives, I look out the window trying to figure out where we are going but frown only seeing trees " where are we going?" I ask after ten minutes of driving. I huff as he ignores my question and just smirks.  We drive for another five minutes and then he parks the car. I look out the window and smile widely seeing he brought me to the beach. I quickly get out and stare at the beach in awe as the sun hits water giving it a shimmer effect.

I slip off my shoes and hold them as I follow Luke onto the sand. I sigh in contentment as the sand is warm on my feet and goes between my toes. We walk for a few minutes while Luke fires random questions at me that he hadn't asked before. I answer them honestly but avoid any questions about my past not wanting to ruin the night. Luke stops at a blanket laiden with all my favourite foods and I smile happily seeing candles lit across the sand close to the blanket. " you did all this for me?" I ask shocked. He smiles " of course I did with a little help from my mum and Mia " he admits sheepishly. I laugh and hug him " thank you it's perfect " I mumble into his chest. " anything for my mate " he whispers and sits down pulling me down and sitting me between his leg so my back is resting against his chest.

We watch the sun skim across the water as it sets and the moon comes out. I look at all the food and grab a strawberry quickly biting into it and moan as the sweet flavour dances across my tongue. " this is amazing, thank you " I say thanking him for the third time this evening. Luke smiles " anything for you baby " he whispers and kisses the junction between my neck and shoulder where he is supposed to mark me. I shiver as he continues kissing my neck and nipping at the skin. I bite my lip holding back a moan, I  feel him smile against my neck and he pulls back and starts eating like nothing happened. I narrow my eyes at him and he chuckles. I shake my head and we eat and talk asking questions that we didn't ask before. like previous girlfriends/ boyfriends, first kiss and things like that.

" why can't you heal properly?" Luke asks casually. I stare at him wide eyed and gulp " I have no idea what your talking about " I croak out. He gives a look that says he doesn't believe me " My wolf can sense your nervousness and I can still see the cuts from the glass you smashed yesterday. Oh and you didn't heal for days when you got attacked by Chase and Darren " he says matter of factly while pointing to the cuts on my legs. I sigh and run a hand through my hair, my wolf speaks a few words of encouragement and I decide to finally tell Luke some more of my past. I gulp audibly " do you remember when my father said he should have injected me with enough wolfsbane to kill me " I ask quietly while moving away from him and turn facing him so I can see his reactions.

Luke growls loudly but nods " good " I mutter " as I've told you before it started when I was four " I whisper wrapping my arms around myself " as the days, weeks and months went by he became more enthusiatic and inventive with his torturous ways. So he started to experiment with silver and wolfsbane" I say gruffly as my eyes fill with tears. Luke moves quickly and pulls me onto his lap holding me tightly. " He would bind me to a chair in the basement using silver chains and inject me with wolfsbane and cut with his silver knives, while my mother let him " I finish. Luke frowns " that doesn't explain why you can't heal " he says urging me to continue. I shut my eyes tightly " the years went on and everyday I would be beaten,injected and cut, one morning I couldn't hear my wolf and tried speaking to her but couldnt, that's when I realised I lost my wolf abilities ". For any of you that don't know you have your wolf from the day you are born but you dont shift until your ten. " I couldn't heal, hear, see or smell as well as I used to but once I got kicked out the wolfsbane slowly but surely left my system and I got all of my wolf abilities back except healing " I explain.

Luke holds me tightly tightly against his chest " I'll protect you princess " he says through clenched teeth. We stay like that in the comfort of each others embrace until Luke tenses and I glance up seeing him expressionless and staring into the distance which means he is mindlinking someone. " Luke what's going on " I question as he gets up. He doesn't answer and I growl mindlinking Mia " what's going on? Luke won't tell me " I say. " two rogues have been spotted on the territory " she answers immediately knowing that I need to know. " Be careful " I warn her and shut off the link not waiting for her reply. I get up and look at Luke confused as he hands me the car keys " take the car back and stay inside " he orders using his Alpha tone. I narrow my eyes " No " I stubbornly reply shaking my head. 

Luke growls " YOU ARE GOING BACK " he shouts. I shake my head again " I'm soon to be Luna and your equal, so don't even try to use that tone on me. I'm going with you " I growl and quickly undress and shift into my wolf. He growls loudly but follows my head and we both pick up with our clothes with our mouths and run through the forest to our warriors where they have cornered the rouges. They are in a clearing and I quickly shift back into my human form behind and tree and pull my clothes back on. Luke tries to take my hand but I slap it away still annoyed at him from trying to order me around. We walk into the middle of the clearing and I gasp looking at the rogues being held on the ground face first by two warriors each.

" Charlotte?, Nick?" I question stepping forwards and waving the warriors to let them go. They let them up and step back but still close enough if they need to grab them again. I watch as they slowly get up not taking their eyes off me. They growl ferociously at me once they are standing " we thought you were dead, but I guess not, you didn't even do the one thing you had to do " Charlotte spits. I stare at her in shock " he is my mate " I say quietly. " SO YOU DECIDE TO JOIN THEIR PACK " Nick roars. I step forward growling and shaking in anger " HE IS MY MATE, YOU MUST UNDERSTAND " I roar just as loud if not louder at him. I notice the warriors all bowing their heads. They look at me then at each other lovingly and nod in understanding. I take a deep breath to calm down " What are you guys doing here anyways?" I ask once I'm calm enough to speak.

" Caleb sent us as scouts " Charlotte says head bowed in respect towards me. I frown " why is he so set on killing my mate?" I ask out loud. " Eva, Caleb doesn't want Alpha Johnston dead he only wants you, so he became allies with Alpha Kingston because he wants Alpha Johmston dead so he can take over this pack. Caleb only agreed so he can get you for himself " Nick says. I shake my head and my eyes fill with unsuspected tears " no " I whisper shaking. Every watches me as I start to cry uncontrollable and shaking with fear. Luke steps forward and pulls me to his chest wrapping his arms around me " Baby we will protect you " he murmurs nuzzling my neck trying to calm his wolf down. Nick and Charlotte watch me sadly as I pull away from Luke and compose myself before turning back to them " Are you going back to him? " I ask quietly. They nod " we have too " Nick says while Charlotte nods in agreement " We will try and inform you guys if we can but don't count on it " She says and they walk back through the forest.

I watch them until I can't see them anymore and turn back to the warriors and Luke " They are going to attack. I have no idea when but I want everyone to be trained for fighting or even just how to defend themselves until someone else can help them ." I say looking at all of them. " I want to help with training the women and children. I can also show everyone how they fight because I trained with them all " I finish. They all nod " Yes Luna " they murmur bowing their heads in respect. Luke smiles watching me  " I also don't want anyone out alone " He orders using his Alpha tone. " Yes Alpha " they say and disperse back through the forest to their positons throughout the territory.
