"HOW DARE YOU YOUNG LADY!" My mother snapped, her eyes fiery. She was pacing the room paranoid while my father was watching her a mixture of amusement and worry. 

Titus delivered me to my parents after a deadly quiet car ride. Of course they already knew what happened, they always do. 

" Bella honey calm down this isn't a big deal." My father always the peace maker, i doubt thats how it was before he met my mother. Ive seen him get angry... its not a very pretty sight, someone usually winds up dead. My mother turns her head pouting and him like a five year old her eyes shining. 

" Theo Baby, who knows what could of happened to her? My baby girl! How dare he. How dare you Stella go against us like that! Something really really bad could of happened to you." My mum rambles on and on. I just stare out the window wondering what else lay beyond the place grounds. It hadn't always been like this. My parents keeping me within territory. Always having people watch me. When i was younger i had more freedom. But i was never allowed to wonder into the woods, one day i did and a Lycan found me, leaving me unharmed. But my parents got  paranoid, they were frightened that someone was going to take me away, they posted 24/7 protection on me. I let out a breath i didn't know i was holding. 

" Mum I was fine, i'm fully trained and one of the top warriors on earth if i can take down Dad then i can take down a peverted drunk at a club. " I state looking into my mothers electric blue eyes. They where shiny, indicating that tears were to spill at any moment. 

"I know you can Stella darling but i'm scared." She whispered. She crossed the room to me and took both of my hands in hers. Her hands were soft and warm, i expected them to hot and sticky from her hands being tightly clasped for so long. 

" What is there to be scared of mother?" I murmur in a soft manner. My mother opened her mouth to speak but non came out. We just stood there. I look over at my father for an answer but he was looking at my mother wanting her to say it. Finally she finds her voice again. 

" Me and your father have decided that you should join a pack, here in England. Now that you are sixteen we feel its time we let you go into the world and let you find your mate." She says softly. My eyes widen as does my smile and i nearly scream out. " But be warned my darling. If anybody finds out who you are. You will end up a target, anything could happen to you. Everything that we tried to protect you from, could happen. There are things in this world that are unfair Stella. People who are cruel. This world is a dark place. And we can't protect you from that once you leave the territory. And that... that scares me so much Stella." Tears spill out of her eyes and her voice cracks as she finishes her sentence. Containing my joy i wrap my arms around my mum pulling her into an embrace. I feel another set of arms wrap around us. 

" Thank you so much mum, dad. I can protect myself. And once i find my mate I will return." I whisper. My dad tenses. Even though the world seems to rely on me and my mate. My father doesn't seem to like the idea of me meeting my mate. To him i'm still his little girl.

"When do i leave?" My voice was weak. I have never been without my family before and the idea of being out in the world without them scared me as much as it excited me. 

" Tomorrow morning you will be traveling to the  Dark blood pack. Not too far from here. Its on the other side of London. " My father chipped in. 

I had heard of the Dark moon pack before in one of my fathers meetings, i couldn't remember what it was about. Rouges? Probably.  There weren't many rouges in England due to it being ground for royals. The werewolf royals lived in England and the King and Queen of the super naturals lives on an island. Nobody really knows where its located. Those who do know have been compelled by their royal white witch to not breath the location to anybody. My parents haven't been invited to the island for the reason that they are resistant to witch and vampire compelling. Witch magic doesn't work nor does a vampires compelling, its the same with me and my siblings. 

" Your leaving us?" I turn to see the twins standing in the hallway their faces stricken with greif. Max and Mason are only four years younger than me and have always looked out for me. I don't like that i won't be there to return the favour. But they know how important finding my mate is to me. 

" I'm off in search of my mate." I whisper. Their eyes widen.  Max ran over pulling me into a hug. 

" Aww my big sister is growing up!!" He shouted, his eyes sparkling with amusement and happiness. I look over at Mason and he had one of his rare grins on. 

" Good on ya sis." He said coming up and patting me on the head as if i was a small child. Strange seeing he's smaller than me, only just. 

' MASY WHERE ARE YOOOOU?" I heard the screeching of my youngest sibling drifting down the hallways. Mason cursed under his breath. I quirk my eyebrows. 

" Masy?" I giggle. I just grunts and gives me a look of annoyance. 

" I forgot that i had been in the middle of a game of hide and seek." He muttered

I snort, a very unattractive thing but i couldn't care. I was with my family. It may even be the the last moment we share in a long time. 

So i savour it.
