I wake up to a warm bed. I roll over and pull the covers over me. I'm so exhausted. All of that crying and sobbing yesterday really took the energy out of me. I open my eyes and groan tiredly. I stretch my arms over my head and yawn loudly. I then throw the covers off of me and I swing my legs over the bed. I get out of bed slowly and walk to the little bathroom connected to the room. I find a stack of jeans and a long-sleeve shirt. I close the bathroom door and strip out of my clothes. I head into the shower and blast the hot water. Once the water hits my back I imminently feel relaxed.  I enjoy the shower and take my time. I grab some shampoo and smell it, and it smells like strawberries. I squirt some onto my hand and begin washing my greasy hair. Once all the suds have been washed out of my  brown hair. I then grab a sponge and the strawberry scented body wash and I begin washing myself. I wash away all of the bubbles and soon I'm clean. I turn off the shower and step out of the shower. I grab a towel and start to dry myself off. I grab the clothes Luke had given me, and put them on. Once I'm dressed I brush my hair  with a brush I found on the sink. Once I'm all ready for the day I head out of the bathroom. I go to my door and wonder if it's locked. I try to open it and to my relief it's unlocked. I leave the room and go downstairs. I go into the kitchen and find Luke cooking. He has a pan on the stove with some pancake batter. When he sees me he smiles and I smile back shyly. I sit down at the table and soon Luke has a plate with two pancakes in front of me. I pour a bunch of syrup on them and begin to eat. Luke sits next to me and eats too. We eat in silence savoring the delicious breakfast . Once I'm finished I rinse off my plate in the sink and toss it into the dishwasher. Luke does the same and soon were just staring awkwardly. I stare into his brown soft caramel-like eyes, and I can tell he's staring into my eyes. We stare for a bit until I'm interrupted by someone clearing their throat. We both snap our heads toward one of the boys who had helped kidnap me. 

He then said,"Sorry if I interrupted something. I just needed to use the sink." We nod and I back away from the sink. He gets a glass of water and we all stay silent.

The guy then says,"Oh, and I'm Blake." I shake his hand and smile at him. Luke then begins to growl possessively?

I then ask,"Why is he growling?" 

Blake then says,"Oh, right you're human. A werewolf is extremely protective over their mate." Wearied. I just nod and Luke's eyes turn back to normal and his face softens. I follow Luke to the living room and we sit down. We don't say anything and it's as if Luke's having a conversation with himself. I clear my throat and Luke snaps back into reality.

I then say,"You were like having a conversation with yourself?" His face goes amused and he chuckles a little.

Luke then says,"No, you see a werewolf has their own wolf. It's like another spirit in us. When we shift into our wolves we become that wolf. We can talk to our wolves in our minds. I should have told you that." My eyes go wide.
I then say,"Wow! That's so cool!" He laughs at my reaction. We sit in silence again and I begin to feel bored. 

As if Luke can read my mind he says"Do you want to go to the mall so we can get you some more clothes." The excitement begins to fill me, but then I remember that I don't have any money. 

I then say,"I can't. I don't have any money." His eyes grow relaxed and happy,

Luke then says,"Ember, what's min is your's OK? What? He barely knows me and he's willing to let me spend his money.

I then ask,"Are you sure?" He nods and I sigh.

I then say,"Well then let's go." He laughs and we walk to the front door. Luke opens the door for me and I walk outside. I embrace the sunlight and the fresh air. We walk to a garage and Luke picks out a big shiny black truck to drive. We get in and Luke starts the car, and we drive away from the house which is actually a mansion. We drive on a dirt road for a few minutes and then we get to a road. We drive in silence but only drive for around 15 minutes. We reach a small city and drive to a packed mall. Luke parks the car and I follow him to the mall's main entrance. We go to many shops Old Navy, American Eagle, Forever 21, and other teen shops. We spend hours at the mall. I learn many things about Luke. He's the Alpha of his Pack (He's basically the poss of a huge group of people) he lost his parents when he was 14, he loves to ride motorcycles, and he has always wanted a mate. 

Luke then asks,"So tell me about yourself." We were sitting at the mall's food court, and I'm having a smoothie and Luke has a soda. 

I then say,"Well I'm 17. My favorite color is purple. I love traveling, and I someday want to travel all over the world. I want to become a scientist. I have a brother and I always wanted a dog. I love to plant, and reading and listening to music is really nice to do late in the evening." Luke smiles a breathtaking smile to me and I find myself staring at him, and we soon are stuck in a deep lasting gaze. We finally break our gaze when Luke sneezes. We laugh for a few seconds.

Luke then says,"Ember I will support your job choice and if you want to travel then you can travel anywhere you're heart desires." I get up and hug Luke tightly. 
I then say,"Thank you, Luke." We pull away and finish out refreshments. After that, we head back to the parking lot and drive home. We sit silently in the car, and the silence was peaceful. Once we get back to the Packhouse Luke helps carry the bags in and upstairs. I follow him down the hallway expecting him to stop but we continue to walk down the hall a little further. He then stops at an unfamiliar door and opens it. I follow him in and gasp at the room I'm in. 

Luke smirks at my reaction

Luke smirks at my reaction. I look around at the big beautiful room. I touch the bed and it's so soft. I look up at the ceiling and see cute dangling lights. 

Luke asks,"Do you like it?" I look at him, and he has a very nervous expression on. 

I then state,"I love it, it's so big and beautiful!" He laughs at how childish I sound. I sit down on my new soft bed. 
Luke then says,"Well I better let you get settled. Dinner will be at 5:30 p.m." I nod and Luke leaves me in my amazing new room. I plop down on the bed and silently thank God for not blessing me with a horrible kidnapper. I know I'm growing feelings for him, and he already has feelings for me. He's not really a kidnapper to me anymore. I sigh and think about how I would never have thought this would happen to me.
