Pierce My Heart

Chapter Seven

Mercy Avery's POV

I was stiff as a board in fear, after Theo- should I say Reid- explained a little of what was happening he suggested that I go to bed. I swear.

      Theo- No Reid had decided to lay down next to me and 'cuddle' with be. That's what made me paralyzed in fear. I so badly wanted to get away from his embrace but every time I slightly shifted he would growl, sniff my neck, then hold me even tighter. It was very tedious but after at least an hour I had gotten away.

      Now, I'm sitting on the porch, it was the only door open and I badly need fresh air- just to think about everything that's happened.

      Time passed by me and by the looks of it the sun would soon rise. As the frigid air nipped at me I payed no heed to move. Frozen. I was barely aware of my surroundings, too stuck in my own thoughts to even notice the chaos that awaited behind me.

      Apparently Theo had awoken and was furious that I wasn't in sight. His loud, deep growl resounded through the house most likely disrupting everyone from their slumber.

      Turning my head, I don't even bother to make a move to go back inside because once I do he'll never my side and I'll never see the cool fresh outdoors again.

      As if sensing a stare, he turned his head, eyes blazing black. They seemed to always be doing that when I was around. He marched towards me as I curled myself further into a ball.

      "Pourquoi dois-tu me troubler l'amour? Tu ne sais pas que je m'inquiète pour toi?" (Why must you trouble me love? Don't you know I worry about you?)

      He sighs before speaking in English,
"Don't you know how worried I was about you? You just go out by yourself! Plus it's freezing outside, you could've caught pneumonia!"

      Giving him my best I-don't-give-a-frick look I state, "No I don't know how worried you were and I don't even feel a thing, I needed the fresh air. I was being watched like a hawk or should I say I had a watch-dog."

      Snarling, he picks up a blanket and covers me with it while picking me up. Struggling in his grasp, I attempt to break free, but he brings a finger up to my lips and just begs me to listen to him just this once. I sigh before nodding my head.

"Since obviously you hate my guts and the fact I'm overprotective, how about for the next hour you can ask me all the questions you want and I'll answer truthfully."

Eyeing him wearily, I raise a brow. "Anything I want and you'll answer them truthfully?" With a nod in response, I start attacking him with questions, left and right.

"How were werewolves created? Why am I your mate? Who exactly is Reid? Why do your eyes turn black? What's a Luna? What's an Alpha?"

"Hold on little mate, one question at a time. Werewolves were created by the Moon Goddess she was a witch. Long ago she fell madly in love with a mundane- a human. She fell deeper and deeper in love against her fathers wishes. She'd been warned that humans were evil and that they were only after her power."

Taking a deep breath he continued,

"In the end her father was right, the human was deceitful and just wanted the power for himself. So she cursed him and his village to become shifter of the wolf. The only way to become one is by being bitten or born with the blood."

"To answer your question about why you're my mate, I really don't have a choice in that, not that I don't love you but the Moon Goddess picks that out. Although she detested what her lover had planned to do to her, she didn't wish her fate upon anyone else and gifted us with a soulmate, our other half."

"Reid is my wolf. Each werewolf has the human side and the wolf side. Both equally dominant and basically have the same personality. I most likely come off as approachable and easier to talk to, I know what respect is and how to treat someone, hence the reason the human side is usually always in control. But if we feel some intense emotion like rage, vulnerability, or love then our wolves come out and that's why my eyes turn black."

"An Alpha is the leader of the pack, he'll do anything for the pack including die for them. Being the Alpha is always passed down from bloodlines, my father was the Alpha, my grandfather, and so on. A Luna is the Alpha's mate meaning you. She's the most important person of the pack, they'd all die for you. A Luna leads with compassion and is approached with questions that she'll always know the answer to. She helps wolves in need and her instincts are strong. Does she sound familiar?"

Shaking my head he lets out a light laugh,

"It's you Mercy, I'm talking about you, you're everything a Luna is and should be without even trying. My Beta and Delta haven't even met you and they already have a sense of protection. Betas and Deltas usually shouldn't be able to feel the connection that strong this soon but you already have those qualities. You're perfect and I hope you accept me as you mate."

He looked up at me with such hopeful eyes, I didn't even know what to say. I so badly didn't want to break his heart after everything he's told. Maybe I'm willing to give him a chance. With one word I decided my fate forever.

"Yes."

"Yes! Yes! Thank you so much! You won't regret this! I'll never hurt you and you can always come to me." I blush before nodding.

"So, would you like to go on a date with me?"

"Uh. . ."
