THEO'S P.O.V :

I listened intently to my dad, the alpha, as he went into detail on security of the pack. He had held a pack meeting in order to discuss the safety of my mate and our pack as well as to plan a way to take down Cooper.

So far we had come up with the idea that there had to be a mole in the pack. The trackers were to be investigating the pack and tracking Cooper alongside the hunters. While the guards and warriors protected the pack and Bree.

"And that's all for the moment, I want reports by the end of the day on Cooper." He finished the meeting.

I took myself upstairs to my beautiful mate and flung myself in bed besides her while she slept peacefully. I started at every detail of her face, from the small spattering of freckles that covered her cheeks to the blonde tips of her eyelashes. She was beautiful.

Her Hazel locks flowed around her head, a single piece hanging across her eyes. I watched, mesmerised by her stunning features. I closed my eyes, picturing her gorgeous green eyes that somehow had the ability to capture me, a simple distraction from every day life and all my thoughts.

I snuggled down and she began to stir. She turned to me, blinking sleepily up at me before smiling. Wow! Her smile. I grinned back and I realised I must be looked like a crazy overly joyful wolf as she let out a slight giggle.

I chuckled along with her before leaning down and placing my lips on her. Unable to control myself I deepened the kiss, my hands travelling down her body as she buried her hands in my hair, tugging slightly which provoked an involuntary groan from me.

I nibbled on her lip before moving down kissing up and down her neck until I found her sweet spot. She gasped, shock clear on her face as my teeth grazed the spot where her mark should belong. I pulled back knowing if I continued I would mark her, as my wold took full control.

A slight pout formed upon her dimpled cheeks. I groaned my sexual frustration pacing through me, my wold still howling begging me to mark her. I brought her small frame into mine, ensuring we had skin to skin contact as I realised she wore nothing but a pair of pajama shorts and a tank top.

My wolf purred In satisfaction. She buried her head in my chest. "Theo?"

"yes Bree?" I replied with a gentle tone to my voice.

"I... I think I umm... I love you." she mumbled before blushing and shielding her face from my view.

The biggest grin I could possibly produce formed upon my face. "I love you too Bree."

I smiled down at her before bringing her face to meet mine and gently kissing her forehead. She instantly relaxed and I brought her into my arms before getting to my feet, my intention to haul both of us downstairs for the pack dinner. It was time my mate met the rest of my pack.

However, I looked down at my mates clothes and my instincts took over, I growled. "Bree? Would u mind covering up before we go downstairs." I placed her on the floor.

She smiled and walked to the wardrobe grabbing some skinny ripped blue jeans and a black long sleeved turtle neck. I glanced at the bathroom door and watched as she slipped inside. My mind ran rampant with thoughts of her. Naked.

My wolf purred and I attempted to brush away the thoughts only to be greeted by an annoyingly hard presence. Cold shower here I come...

...

BREE'S P.O.V:

I sighed contently as I slipped into my jeans. Looking in the mirror all that you as running through my head was that he loved me to. 'he should love you, he's your mate dear.' my wolf bellowed out, amusement clear in her tone.

I ignored her, simply smiling in response before continuing to change.

"Bree, I'm taking you down for a pack dinner, I think it's finally time u meet your future pack."

I choked in response to his words before spluttering out an okay. Nerves racked my body at the thought of meeting his pack, I mean our pack.

Frantically, I grasped for my makeup before attempting to make myself look presentable. Once I finally looked half decent I pulled myself away from the mirror, dragging my small butt out of the bathroom.

Theo grinned shyly at me, obviously nervous as well. However, he confidently grabbed my hand, happened plastered across his face.

"Are you ready?" he mumbled in my ear.

"yes... I think so." I close my eyes as he placed a gentle kiss upon my forehead, instantly calming my nerves.

...

Laughter filled the room but once I entered with theo, everyone bowed their heads in respect. We weren't the alpha and luna yet but as we were soon to take these positions, respect from the pack members was an essential aspect.

I sat beside Grace who smiled widely at me before flinging her arms around me and screaming "I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN AGES!!!!"

Everyone turned to look at her, a mixture of shocked and amused expressions. She blushed, a tomato ree deepening in her cheeks before simply whispering a quick "sorry."

I was desperately trying to contain my laughter and amusement at her embarrassment but small giggles were escaping me.

Unable to control it, I spooned food into my mouth, forcing myself to stop smiling to swallow. I realised, however, I had let out a slight moan at the delicious taste of the food.

Chicken marengo.

Oh my life, I was in heaven.

I wolfed the food down, content and happy. I had met my mate, I had met my pack, I had left Cooper behind, my life was falling into place and a good life it was.

I fell back in my chair, placing my hands across my bloated, extremely full stomach that appeared to be near bursting. However, as I began to relax, Theo rapidly got to his feet, panic clear on his face.

"rogues, rogues at the boundary. Everybody able to fight outside now, women and children are to stay locked in the safe room. No one moves unless I say."

In a passion filled adrenaline rushed moment he ran to me kissing me deeply before exclaiming, "I love you, " and running off.

The pack followed as Grace, Jennifer and I rounded everyone up before rushing upstairs.

A scent suddenly hit me. It was rancid, a mixture of mould and rotting eggs.

As I was about to shut the door to the safe room, my very nightmare came to life as I caught sight of the eyes that had haunted me for months.

Copper.
