The doors open and I'm guessing it's the pack doctor who walks in. "Hello Luna, my name is Dr. Snowe. Does your head hurt or Is Alpha Lynes bothering you? She says while giving a kind smile. Phoenix stares at Dr. Snowe with wide eyes. "How rude of you. I am very hurt," holding one hand to his heart. I laugh at her silliness and reply, "Oh please don't call me Luna, call me Meliora," giving her a genuine smile. "Yes Lu- I mean Meliora. But in all honesty, how are you feeling?" She asks. "My head hurts a bit but other than that I'm just tired," I reply honestly and she writes down something on her clipboard. "Your head should heal in about less than a week seeming as it wasn't too serious of an injury. You should also try to get some sleep to replenish your exhaustion," Dr. Snowe implies. "Thank you Dr. Snowe." I answer back. "Oh and call me Mary. Doctor makes me sound too smart," She laughs while waving bye as she leaves the room.

"So um...sorry about what I did at the forest. My wolf was mad and thought you were rejecting the pack and us both. I really am sorry and I regret my actions," Phoenix pleads with hopeful eyes. "You know I can't forgive you that easily right. You brought me here against my will and expect me to be on your side? Ha you wish," I say looking away from him.

'Mel give him a chance please', Lux silently whimpers. 'He cares about us and he even told you he didn't mean to hurt us.' She says as she disappears to the back of my mind. Maybe I was too harsh with him. I take a deep breath and look towards him again, "I won't forgive you for what you did to me but I will say sorry If I was acting too rude to you. It's just I don't want to be here and suddenly me being brought here kinda made me mad." His eyes look up to meet mine and then he starts to speak, "I know I can't be forgiven and I respect your choices but all I ask of you is to get to know the pack and everyone here. I promise you they will love you and protect you. Especially me Melioria. I'll protect you with my entire life because you mean the world to me. No one could replace you even If I tried. When I saw you at the forest, you looked like a freaking goddess."

He then grabs one of my hands and starts again, "I am super super sorry for calling you the things I did. When I saw you, my thoughts went to where you have been and I don't know why but I thought of some guy living with you and I became protective and exploded on you." I'm beyond surprised to him opening up to me. His head is hung low and now I feel terrible for being a bitch to him. He only wants to best for me yet I've been the worst to him.

"Please don't lower your head to me. Keep your head held high," As I use my free hand and softly lift his chin up so his grey eyes meet mine. "I'm just used to being independent and alone for basically most of my life. With no one to lean on, no family to keep me smiling, I learned to do things on my own. I guess when I thought of finding my mate, I freaked out because I'd have have to live with someone and I haven't done that in thirteen years,"Slowly letting go of his chin and rising to my feet. I'm really exhausted so I stretch my arms and legs. Quietly yawning, I Iook at a now standing Phoenix and open my mouth to speak, "I think I'll be leaving now so I can head back to my place before It gets too dark. Thank you for treating my head, but I should be taking my leave now."

Phoenix quickly stiffens and nervously starts to speak, "Would you u-um like to s-stay the night here? I mean like you'll have your own room so you don't have to worry about sharing. N-not that I was planning on making you share." I laugh at his attempt to sound calm and collected. Hmm should I take up on his offer? I massage my chin pretending to be deep in thought," Since I'm really tired I'll accept your offer for just this one night." I point my finger and him and he gives me one of the most sexiest smiles I have ever seen. Like goddamn, If looks could kill I'd be long dead.

We walk out of the hospital wing of his pack and walk outside towards I'm guessing his house. As we're walking I stop and gasp at the sight. This house is BEAUTIFUL!! It's a modern two story beige luxury mansion with stone on all sides and two sets of stairs leading to the front door. I stop to look at the house in front of me and I am amazed. The last time I was in front of beautiful home was when I was younger at my house.

I quickly shake my head so I don't get emotion and I look at Phoenix ready to speak. "This is your house?" I ask quietly not wanting to be too loud. "Yes it is. It may not be as big as the pack house, but I decided I wanted my pack to have their own place to be so I moved out to give them their own privacy." quietly whispering but loud enough for me to hear.

I mouth an "O" to myself and I nod my head to show him I understood. I can't help but think of the times when I was with Keegan. Just me and him, playing around. His goofy smile, his shining chocolate brown eyes that always shone with happiness. I don't know why I can't be strong when I badly want to be.

I don't even realize a tear falling down my cheek as I quickly wipe it off before he notices but to my unfortunate luck, he does and he looks at me with worry. "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" quickly pushing me questions.

I turn my body and take a step away from him. I sarcastically laugh and open my mouth to talk, "Everything is perfect, or so I'd like to believe. You don't understand anything about me. When I was younger I remember my pack Alpha telling me to "destroy what destroys you" but the only thing destroying me is myself. Each and everyday I lived my life in pain and on the run. On the run from the fear that HE may come back to finish me off." I shudder at the thought of that disgusting man.

"Who? What man? I will NOT allow some man to get to you. I promise to keep you safe." He claims, anger seething through his words.

I can't handle this anymore. I have to get away. I don't want to ruin him with me being present. He's too good for me and I'm just going to drag him and his pack down. I must leave.

"I'm sorry Alpha, but you got yourself an independent Luna"
