Mason's P.O.V. 

I was out for a run to clear my head, I had so much going on between my pack and trying to find my mate. I was running through the forest behind Elm st. when I caught the most intoxicating scent of vanilla and strawberries I shifted back snagging some clothes that were hanging on a line behind a house not caring that they were still slightly damp and a little too small being drawn to the intoxicating scent I followed it down the street finding three of my packs trouble makers surrounding a young woman telling them to leave her alone. I let out a furious growl letting my presence be known "hey she said leave her alone" I state in my Alpha tone, the trouble makers look back immediately recognizing me putting their hands up in surrender. "Sorry we didn't mean any harm we were just having some fun" they say slowly backing away then erupting into a run. I walk towards her picking up the bags she dropped as I hand them back to her I stare into her beautiful brown eyes as my wolf screams "Mate". We look into each others eyes until she breaks the silence "thank you" she says with her soft sweet voice she had long wavy brown hair with gold highlights "I don't know what I would have done if you didn't come along" she continues "no problem i'm Mason" I said unable to look away from her "I'm Morgan thank you again" neither one of us could look away. 

We continued to stare into each others eyes for what felt like hours, I then glance down taking in the view of her body she was athletically fit with long legs and flawless tanned skin. I continued my gaze up to her face viewing her swollen black eye and fought my wolf for control "did they do that to your eye" she brought her hand up to touch her eye revealing red hand prints on her arm. I gently took her hand still fighting my wolfs anger "is this their doing" she looks away towards the ground gently shaking her head "no" she says in a whisper. I gently cup her chin bringing her face up to look her in the eyes "Who did this to you" I ask softly, she pulls her face away turning and walking "don't worry about it thank you again but I really need to go" she says while walking back towards main street.

I can't let her get away I just found her, so I catch up to her walking "you really shouldn't be out walking alone this late" i say in a caring voice "I'll be okay" she replies. "Well how about we get something to eat I know a great place right up the street that's open all night my treat" she stops and turns to look at me thinking to herself "Okay but it's my treat for you helping me back there" we walk towards the diner that was owned by my pack in silence only exchanging brief glances at each other. When we reach the diner we walk inside and sit down at a booth "So will you tell me why your out walking alone this late at night" I ask still furious about her injuries wanting to kill whoever put their hands on my mate. "I'll be right back" she says before getting up and walking towards the bathrooms then the waitress walks over she was a pack member I explained the circumstances telling her i'd come back to pay since I didn't have my wallet on me, she understood walking away saying she'd be back after my mate returned.

Morgan's P.O.V.

We walked in silence up the street taking brief glances at each other I wonder why he cares about my injuries, we reach a small diner walking inside and sitting down at a booth. "So will you tell me why your out walking alone this late at night" he asks with a hint of anger in his eyes. "I'll be right back" I say while getting up from the booth and walking to the restrooms. Once inside I look in the mirror at my swollen bruised eye it was worse than I thought, then I look at my wrists seeing the red hand prints around my forearm.

I feel tears start to build up in my eyes again thinking about how a complete stranger stood up for me and how my own father could do this to me. Quickly composing myself I clean my face and walk back to the booth. When I sat down Mason looked at me with care and concern in his eyes "well will you tell me why your out here all alone this late" he asked again, I felt a connection between us, I felt safe for the first time in my life."I had to move out from where I was staying" I fought back my tears gulping down the lump in my throat."So where are you headed tonight" he asked, should I tell him.A waitress comes up to the table taking our orders, Mason also ordered a glass of ice, she jots down our orders walking away towards the counter.

"I don't know"I state in honesty because I have no where to go, he looks at me with concern and confusion "Where were you headed before I met you" he asks staring at me "I don't know" I answer as the waitress comes back with our drinks and his ice. He takes a few paper towels wrapping the ice and gently placing it on my eye. "That's not necessary" I say trying to move his hand with no success "yes it is, it will help with the swelling" I still can't understand why a complete stranger would care this much about my black eye. 

"Well if you need a safe place to stay I have plenty of room at my house" he offers "I couldn't do that I don't even know you" how could I stay with him I just met him I don't know if he's crazy or something but he did save me from those guys and is trying to treat my fathers damage. "You're too beautiful to be roaming the streets at night alone, you'll be safe at my house, you'll have your own room with plenty of space" he continues I can see he's staring at me from my eye that's uncovered. I think about his offer, it surely couldn't be worse than the living arrangements I just came from. The waitress returns with our food placing it in front of us then walking away after checking that we didn't need anything else. "Where do you live" I ask considering his offer, "just up the road a bit i'll show you after we eat" he says with a smile before we dig into our food. After we finished eating Mason went up to the counter while I waited for him by the door. He refused to let me pay for our meal saying it was ungentle men like. 

Mason joined me at the door walking outside he took my bags from me "you know I really can carry my own bags" I say for the third time since he's taken my bags."I know but a gentlemen always carries a ladies bags for her" he says looking down at me with a smile. We walk up the street until we come to a long drive way, at the end of the drive way was a huge house it was white brick with white pillars in front of the door. Mason leads me up the steps to the door walking inside, their was a grand staircase and a chandelier hanging over our heads. "I'll show you, your room I know you have to be tired, i'll give you a tour in the morning" he says in his deep husky voice leading me to the stairs. When we got to the first floor we turned down the hall to the last door on the right walking inside the room it was huge with a large flat screen TV hanging on the wall opposite that was a black soft leather couch that looked so comfortable on the other side of the room sat a huge beg draped in an abstract black and white comforter with soft fluffy pillows lining the top of the bed. There was a plush white carpet lining the entire floor of the room,"you have your bathroom over here" Mason pointed to one of the doors "the other is your closet" as he pointed to the other door "and my room is right here if you need anything" pointing to the double doors at the end of the hall which was sharing a wall with my room.

"Okay thank you Mason for everything" I say putting my arms around his waist hugging him as his arms immediately did the same embracing me in his warm arms. I didn't want to let go he had an intoxicating scent and his arms around me made me feel safe but I had to let him go, when I did he had the look of multiple emotions in his eyes as if he didn't want me to let go either."Well good night i'll see you in the morning"he says walking to his doors, I close my door leaning against it tempted to walk to his room and sleep in his arms tonight but that would be creepy of me so I just change into my pajamas climb into bed and let sleep consume my tired sore body.
