We've been training for about one week. That means that I've only known Jaxon and everyone else for two. It's strange isn't it? It feels so much longer. So much happened during the first few days. I met this breathtaking guy, who I thought was insane, and got this amazing connection with him only to find out that we're mates and he's a werewolf.

Werewolf... Who knew right?!

Then of course finding out that I also was a werewolf but no surprise that it didn't end there, I had to be a witch too which are really rare combined with being a white wolf which also is rare. I don't know if I'm lucky or unlucky?

But nonetheless, I am perfectly happy being here with everyone and especially Jaxon. I've only known him for a short period of time but I'm already falling in love with him and Avalon keep saying that I've changed him and she can't understand how fast it happened. However I still don't see the big change but that's probably because I didn't know him before. She told me that he always used to be broody, temperamental and stressed. If he's become calmer with me, I don't think I want to know how he was before because he's still all those things; broody, temperamental and stressed.

Training hasn't gone so great. Jaxon is very tough, as in very, very though. I have bruises all over my body and it's aching, however I can see in his eyes that it hurts him to push me like this but both of us knows that I need it. I want to be able to defend myself. It's a good thing though that werewolves heal quicker then humans.

We started to train in our human forms and I'm getting better but we'll soon start to train in our wolf forms and I'm more nervous about that. I mean sure, I can run fast but I definitely can't fight while being a wolf. But hey, that's why we train, to get better.

Avalon and I was sitting on the couch, watching a movie while waiting for the boys to come home. "Hey can I join?" Nate asked as he walked into the living room.

"Sure" We answered and he sat down next to me.

"So how are training going?" He asked smirking, obvious that I'm in pain and my not so great fighting skill. Sure, compared to a human I'm amazing but compared to a strong black Alpha wolf I'm practically nothing. But I'm getting there... After a little more training.

"Soon I'll be able and kick your ass" I said smugly which made him laugh and we started to watch the movie again instead.

"So..." I said vaguely after the movie had ended. Both Nate and Avalon turned to look at me, waiting for me to speak again. "Um... Can you... Explain marking for me?" I asked hesitantly as I blushed.

"I'm leaving" Nate said uncomfortable as he stood up from the couch.

"Oh come one! We need the point of view from a male" Avalon said teasingly.

"I'm not going to explain marking to my Luna and how Alpha Lightwood is going to do it." He said ashamed. Lightwood is apparently Jaxon's last name. "You explain" He said to Avalon and walked away while we giggled.

"I'm serious though" I said to Avalon pleadingly when we had stopped giggling.

"I know" She said chuckling. "Well... Like I said before, marking is when he bite your nape with his canines. It hurts but then it turns into pleasure and after, you two become more connected and you'll be connected through the packs mind too. You know like talking to us mentally?" She explained and I nodded. "You are going to be able to find each other easier and feel how the other is feeling."

"So he just bites me and then it's done?" I asked slightly terrified about him biting me. That's weird.

"Yeah, it's a part of the mating processes." She answered bluntly as she stood up, took her glass that used to be filled with water and started to walk towards the kitchen while I followed her.

"Mating process?" I asked confused.

"God, what do you and my brother do? Don't he tell you anything?" She asked as she filled her glass with water.

"He have explained some things and we've just... talked to get to know each other" I said and blushed.

Avalon sighed and sat down at the kitchen island with her glass of water. "Well... First you find your mate, mark her and then mate." She answered bluntly.

"Mate? As in...."

"As in having sex, yes" She said and rolled her eyes at my innocence. "Sometimes people... Mark during the mating process" She said and winked at me while I blushed at her statement. "But you can also mate after you've been marked. It's up to you really" She said taking a sip of her water. "But after you've been marked, you get the urge to be closer to your mate and mate with him if you haven't done it yet. It's just in or nature to want to finish the mating process as quickly as possible, to show that we belong to someone."

"Oh..." Was all that I could say and luckily, the front door opened and Jaxon and Colton walked into the kitchen. When my blue-silver eyes met Jaxon's green ones, I blushed bright red thinking about Avalon and I's conversation.

"Why are you blushing?" Jaxon asked confused with his husky voice. Did he really need to comment on that? His alluring sent entered my nose, which made my body tingle in delight.

"I think we are going to go" Avalon said teasingly, took Colton's hand and walked upstairs towards their room.

I stood up and walked pass Jaxon but he quickly took my hand and pulled me back, which caused me to slam into his chest. That's right, his hard muscular chest and his touch obviously made my body tingle again. He stiffened and then leaned towards me and breathed in my sent. "I smell don't I?" I asked embarrassed thinking about how werewolf can smell arousal and other emotions but this time it's definitely arousal. Stupid werewolf senses making me embarrassed.

"You do" He growled seductively and without hesitation, he slammed me into the kitchen wall. His lips crashed into mine hungrily while his hands traveled around my body. I threw my hands around his neck and pulled him closer. Stupid hormones and stupid mate bond that makes me act wildly.

His lips traveled down towards my nape as he planted soft kisses and I moaned in pleasure. He started to kiss and nibble against my skin until he pulled away, his eyes dark but maybe mine are too, full with lust.

"I'm sorry" He said as his eyes turned back to his beautiful green ones.

"Well... I didn't really mind so..." I said giving him a smile and he chuckled then planted a last, long kiss at my nape.

"I need to go for a run, clear my... head." He said softly and I nodded in understanding. "I'll be back soon, you can go to bed" He said before kissing my lips and then walked out of the house.

My whole body relaxed when he had exit the room. Wow... That was something, I thought before walking up the stairs and towards our room. I walked into the closet, took one of his t-shirts that I love wearing and then laid down on the bed. Before I knew it, I had fallen asleep without Jaxon being back.


When I woke up however, I could feel the familiar warmth by my mate as he was holding a firm grip around me, spooning me and his head nuzzled at my nape. I smiled thinking about how loved and safe I feel until the door flew open. Seriously? Don't people know how to knock? I quietly snaked out of Jaxon's arm to look at who it was. "Avalon? What are you doing?" I whispered confused, not wanting to wake up Jaxon.

"I need you" She whispered pleadingly. All I wanted was to lay down beside my lovely... mate. Or can I say boyfriend? But her pleading eyes convinced me that she was terrified so I walked towards her. "Get change and meet me downstairs" She whispered.

I walked into the closet and changed into black high waist skinny jeans, a yellow crop top and a black cardigan then walked downstairs while wrapping the cardigan around me tiredly.

"What's wrong?" I asked worried when I entered the hallway.

She looked around then leaned in towards my ear and whispered. "We need to go to the mall" She whispered before continuing. "I think... I think that I might be pregnant" My eyes widened and I stared at her. She looked afraid so I nodded, stole Jaxon's car keys and we walked towards his car then drove towards the mall.

We entered the mall and walked towards the drugstore. When we entered we looked for the pregnancy tests. "Which one?" She asked as we stared at all the different labels. Why does it have to be so many?

"Take three, all from different labels?" I suggested and she nodded. "Are you afraid?" I asked as we walked towards the cash register to pay.

"Yeah... but I'm also excited. I do want a child, I just don't know if Colton wants one yet." She said worried as she gave the woman behind the register the money.

"Don't you think you are young?" I asked thinking that I'm one year older and I don't feel ready yet. But then again, Avalon and Colton have been together for a while.

Avalon chuckled at my words before answering. "Actually, werewolves often get pregnant after they have fulfilled the mating process. Colton and I just didn't want a baby yet so we used protection" She answered. "Well... most times" She giggled and I rolled my eyes before giggling. "Hey, do you want to eat something while we're here? We haven't eaten breakfast yet" She said smiling.

"Sure, just let me go to the bathroom first. I didn't have the chance back at the house" I said pretending to be angry and she rolled her eyes.

"Sorry, I was just... Afraid for a moment" She said softly.

"It's okay" I said smiling. "I'll be right back" I said and started to walk towards the bathrooms in the mall.

After I had done my business, I washed my hands and walked out of the bathroom when suddenly I got a bad feeling and have no idea why. I shrugged it off and started to walk to meet Avalon when someone grabbed my arm and something strangely happened.

I was in a dungeon, locked cell and no one around. I was scared because of something. Or someone? I looked around and saw a widow. It was bars around it and it was locked but I could see out from it. I could see the water tower from Fountain Valley from here and an industrial building. CEN's the name.

The door opened so I quickly turned away from the window as a black silhouette walked down the stairs until he stood in front of me and I saw his features because of the light from the window. It was a guy, about my age with red hair and green eyes. It's not the same guy as my other dream, but he's similar. His son?

"Finally you're awake" He said smirking, evilly I would add.

"Who are you?!" I asked through gritted teeth.

"That's not important right now" He smirked and took a step closer. "What's important is that we've finally got you and you're not marked yet" He said eying my nape. The thought of him eying it makes me think about what Jaxon said, that someone else might mark me. Just thinking about it made my eyes tear up. "Don't cry beautiful, I'll take good care of you." I mentally gaged from his words.

I took a step closer, standing right in front of the bars of the cell and he was standing close to them too. I eyed the bars smirking when an idea popped into my head. I punched him straight in the face making his nose crack. It's a good think I have a good aim and small hands. Then I spit in his face.

He growled at me angrily, which made me growl back both lauder and angrier than him. "Stay the fuck away from me your asshole!" I yelled while he swiped away my spit from his face and the blood from his broken nose. I just wish it wouldn't heal so fast, werewolves heal quickly and right now it's a bad thing.

He looked up at me angrily and smirked. "You won't get away this time."

"My mate will find me" I said smugly but he let out an evil laugh.

"Beautiful, he doesn't even know where you are. You haven't even been marked yet" He said like it's the funniest thing. "He'll never find you" he said then walked away laughing. I want to puke. Puke right in his face. He disgust me!

"Luna, are you okay?" Avalon asked. I looked around and I was standing in the mall outside of the bathrooms and Avalon had her hand on my arm. I know that Julianne had told us not to tell anyone, but Avalon and Colton knew, they had after all already seen it once.

I told her about my dream like thing. About the dungeon, where it was and about the guy with red hair. I'm glad that it didn't happen, but suddenly I'm feeling terrified and according to the look on her face, she's terrified too.

Instead of eating, we decided to drive home instead so we walked towards Jaxon's car. She sat down in the passenger seat with her drugstore bag in her lap and I drove away from the parking lot.

When I pulled up the car at the lonely road on the outside of Fountain Valley and towards the pack's home, something came crashing into the back of the car which made the car unsteady for a moment. "What the hell was that?" I yelled surprised.

I looked at the rearview mirror and saw a black car smashing into us again. The impact from the car was so effective that I lost control of the car and we crash into a tree at the side of the road. My head flew forwards, hitting the steering-wheel hard and that's when everything became black.


My head was pounding and I was lying on something hard. My body was aching. I slowly opened my eyes, remembering what recently happened and what I saw made my eyes widened. I was in a dungeon, locked cell and no one around. It's just like my dream. I saw the window behind me and looked outside. I could see the water tower from Fountain Valley and the industrial building. Am I dreaming again or is this real?

The door opened so I quickly turned away from the window as a black silhouette walked down the stairs until he stood in front of me. I saw his features because of the light from the window and it was that guy from the dream I recently had. That guy who's around my age with red hair and green eyes. Is this really happening?

"Finally you're awake" He said smirking, just like my dream. I looked around scared. Is this real? "You look like a lost puppy" He said in awe and amusement. That didn't happen in the dream. Can I change it?

"Just because I'm not marked, doesn't mean that I can't escape this place and Jaxon will still find me" I said through gritted teeth, remembering what he said in the dream.

"Beautiful, he doesn't even know where you are." He said laughing evilly. "He'll-..." He started to say but I interrupted him.

"He will find me" I said confident. I told Avalon about this dream, if she's safe maybe she can tell Jaxon and they'll find me. I truly hope she's safe, I truly hope the baby's safe if she's pregnant.

I smirked when I remembered the best part about my dream.

I took a step closer, standing right in front of the bars of the cell and he was standing close to them too, just like the dream. I eyed the bars smirking then punched him straight in the face. I smirked when I could hear the bone in his nose breaking. Then I spit in his face just like my dream.

He growled at me angrily, which made me growl back both lauder and angrier than him. "You are pathetic you little piece of shit" I said through gritted teeth and my fists clenched as he swiped away my spit from his face and the blood from his broken nose.

"That's enough!" He growled angrily and yet again I growl back. It was like a challenge to let him know that I have more authority in my voice then he does. He almost whipped by the sound of it. Like Avalon said, someone who has a lover rank can't withstand it. Wait. He hardly reacted, is he an Alpha or high ranked somehow?

"Stay the fuck away from me!" I yelled angrily. He growled again then took out the key and unlocked the cell. He pushed me against the bars and damn, he was strong. I saw him eying my nape and worry flew through my body. Ha can't mark me. Jaxon is supposed to mark me not this guy! "W-what are y-you doing?" I stuttered afraid.

"Marking you" He answered simply as he started to kiss my nape. When Jaxon does it, it always feels good but now when he does it I just want to puke. I tried to push him away, punch him, struggle against him but he was stronger even though I'm an Alpha.

He can't mark me, I want to get this asshole away from me. That's all I can think about. I started to feel an eclectic feeling inside of me, something I've never felt before. It's not like the electric feeling I get when Jason touches me but it's something else. More powerful.

The thoughts of wanting him away from him, wanting to protect my body from him came oozing out of me and an electric shockwave came out of my body as I yelled "STOOOOP!" With a powerful voice.

The red-haired man somehow flew away from me and crashed down on the ground. He looked up at me shocked while all my eyes showed was anger. Pure anger towards this stranger. "You are more powerful than I thought" He said shocked yet impressed.

My grandmother's words came rushing into my head, you are more powerful than you think. "I am more powerful then you thing" I said proudly then all of a sudden, I knew exactly what to do.

With a powerful motion, I positioned my hands in front of me in a protecting stand and electric somehow came out from my hands and towards the red-haired man. He looked both shocked and scared as the electric came shooting towards him.

I pulled my hands down and stared at them. What the hell just happened? I'm not entirely sure how I did that or how I knew that I could, but I'm glad it happened. I shook my head, I shouldn't be thinking about that right now, I should escape. I quickly ran past him where he was lying on the ground, out of the cell, away from the dungeon then up the stairs and out of the industrial building that we apparently was in.

I saw the forest behind the building so I stopped, took a deep breath, closed my eyes and thought about my wolf form. My white fur, four legs and then I could hear my bones break, the more I shift the easier it becomes. It still hurt, but it's tolerable.

When I opened my eyes, I was a wolf and started to run towards the forest. It was slightly wobbly at first but then it became better and I entered the forest.

But then I heard a howling sound behind me.

So I ran faster. Faster than I've ever done before.
