Chapter Twenty-One:

Jared's POV:

"Rachel, Jared, you might want to come in here." Rachels mom called from the front door. Smiling at Rachel as she walked out of the dinning room. I just stepped into the foyer when I saw my mother and father.

"Jared, Katies missing." He said.

"What do you mean Katies missing?" I asked with a confused look on my face. "I saw her just a few days ago."

"Jared, we thing rouges took her and Erik."

"WHAT?" I asked grabbing Rachel from the waist and pulling her protectivly behind my body trying to calm my wolf, that was screaming to protect its mate.

"Jared, calm down." Rachel said calmly, resting her hand on my shoulder.

"I was just coming by to tell you, and see if your mother can stay here while I'm gone looking for her with the pack."

"Of course she can stay Harrold." Linda said with a sympothetic smile on her face.

"I'm going to." I said between clenched teeth.

"If you're going, then I'm going Jared." Rachel said from behind me.

"No, you're going to stay here with your mother and mine. I've got a duty to my future pack, and to my sister. I can't risk your life inbetween that, Rachel."

"Jared, I'm not going to let you go without me. All you have to do is mark me, then, I can help on the hunt. I'm willing to be marked to help find Katie."

"I'm not going to force you to do something you're not ready for, and even if I do change you, you still wouldn't be coming with us."

"Jared, you're not going without me."

"Um...do you guy's want to come inside for some tea? I can help you guy's set up a base here to use while you're searching." Linda said trying to give us some privacy.

"That would be great." My mother said in her deep english accent. "Come along Harrold."

As soon as they were out of sight, I dragged Rachel up to our room closing the heavy wooden door behing me. I then walked over to the bed and sat her on the edge, then paced between the window and the door trying to figure out what to say.

"Rachel, you can't come." I say in a deep voice, almost Alpha like, but not quit. It's not as if it would work on her anyway's, what with her being an Alpha's daughter, and not only an Alpha's daughter, but theAlpha's daughter. The Alpha of all wolves. Our ruler. Our King.

"You have no right to tell me whether I can come or not, only your father does."

"And you think he's going to say yes to a new werewolf? You think he will go against my wishes, his son's wishes, who will also become the next Alpha to the pack? Think again. I'm not saying this to be mean to you and try to hurt you like your father has, but because I care about you and will have enough trouble trying to keep myself alive ontop of your's if you come. Do you see my delima?"

"Jared, did you ever think about the pain it would cause me if you didn't come back to me after I just found you, and just realized that I truley do love you and want to be with you for the rest of my life? I don't know what I would do if I lost you."

"That's the problem Rachel, I won't die. Our pack is to strong to be taken down. I will come back, and you really have nothing to worry about." I say walking over to her and starring her in the eye to try to get her to understand my words as they are spoken.

"But you can't guarente that. Only time will tell, and I want to be there with you to watch your back. I can do it. You know I can. I'm the duaghter of Alpha Gregory Redwood. The Alpha of all Alpha's. I can help you out and you know I can."

"But you could get hurt, then what will happen? I'll have to protect both of us. Please, just stay here. For me. To make this easier for both of us. Please Rachel. You know I wouldn't ask something like this of you on less it was for your own good. Please."

"I will...if you mark me. I'm ready to be marked, and this way, I'll know if your safe, and you'll know if I am. I'm caught up on all the studies you've been working with your whole life, and I know enough to know that once you've been marked, you can hear each other's thoughts whenever you want them to be heard. Please Jared...I-I'm ready for it."

"Rachel...can't this wait until after I get back? How do I know that you won't try to sneak after us?"

"Because, I'll have my mom, your mother, and a promise I tend to keep. Please...just mark me."

"Rachel...I just... I don't know if you are ready. I know you say you are," I continue when she tries to argue, "but you could just be saying that because you're desperate."

"But I'm not just saying this because I'm desperate. I've been thinking about this all week while you wereat work, but was waiting for the right time to bring it up to you. I'm ready for it Jared." Rachel say's standing up and walking over to me, placing her hands lightly on my chest and looking up into her eyes, I could see she was ready and would keep any promise to be marked as mine, and only mine.

So, with only a few inches to take, I press my lips to hers and start to kiss with a soft, but intense passion. I move her to the bed and lay her down on it, moving her long hair away from her neck, and started to kiss it until I found the spot where I would mark her, I then bit down softly, but hard enough to peirce the skin.

She gasped but then sighed when the peircing high of the bite made by her mate finally hit her to the core of her heart, opening her wolf from it's engaged tomb.When I was finished with the bite, I looked up and examined my work. On the right side of her neck, right below her earlob, was my mark. A bite mark, turning into a wolf howling at the moon.

No other male will be able to have her now. She is officially mine. Not only is my mark there, but my scent and DNA are mixed with her to. Any male trying to have anything sexual, even a kiss, would be appaled and become sick before getting a single word out of their mouth.

"Jared." I heard my father call from the other side of the door. "I'm leaving in five minutes with the first search party."

"Okay. I'll be there in a second." I call back looking into Rachels eyes to see they have a glint of love and passion. "I love you Rachel Redwood. You are now mine, and only mine. I will return once my party's shift is over. Do not try to follow us, okay?"

"Wouldn't try. Be careful, and don't underestimate anyone. I'll keep in touch at all times."

"Good." With one more kiss, I got up and left with my part, into the woods, with pure adoration and love on my mind. I will keep my promise to Rachel and will return alive, so I can be with my mate in the way a married couple are.
