UNSHIFTED: The Mysterious Mate

Chapter 6

Ding

The doors open to reveal two grand staircases with the elevator in the middle. There is matching carpet on the ground.

When the doors had originally opened the place was swarming with busy people. But as soon as I get out of the elevator everyone freezes. All you could hear is the whispers of gossip. "I heard she killed a girl in her last pack." Whispers a blonde lady to an older man. "She is a pretty thin girl? Is that healthy?" A longer girl said to a fellow adolescent. "Is she really the Luna?" A child asked his mother. "Alpha got lucky" someone in the back whispered.

I ignored them and made my way into the kitchen area. I took in my surroundings and there was a giant island with modern appliances and cabinets around on the inner walls of the kitchen. Then to the left was four lasting cherry tables extended parallel across the room. At the end of the tables, I see kids coloring and mothers having coffee.

Suddenly a little girl looked up from her coloring book and when she saw me she smiled and waved. Which I'm not gonna lie that made my heart melt.

"Omg Skyla!" I heard Mia yell from behind me. Followed by bombarded hugs from Mia. "Are you alright?!?" She asked as she studied my eyes. "Yea I'm okay" I replied. "Good I'm glad," she said as she pulled me into another room where I saw my other 3 best friends.

"Guys, look who turned up," Mia said. Everyone rushed up to me and welcomed me back. Clearly glad I was safe. "Are you guys okay?"I questioned as I looked Erica over. I received a "yea we all good." From Luke. "Wha...what happened to you guys at the motel." I asked Luke.
"well, that night went like this..." Luke started.

*Start of Flashback*

Luke's POV

The room was quiet and all you heard was the soft snores from Alan. I couldn't sleep and all I could think of is how the girls are doing. The main thing on my mind was Skyla. She has Strawberry blonde hair, and emerald green eyes. She's had it the worse in that pack. Even though all the pain and suffering. She was the strongest of all of us. She was the fastest, intelligent, Gental hearted, selfless, and bravest.

I was laying in my bed when suddenly the door busted open and entered 4 Men. I jumped out of bed startled. "Take them alive." The main guy who is tall, dirty blonde, and masculine, orders. He has a slight stubble of a beard and wearing a tight grey t-shirt with cargo pants. Then a dude, who had a motorcycle helmet on and the guy, leaves the room with the first By this time Alan was wide awake and beside me. The guy in a blue shirt, who was African American and had an afro, with black cargo pants made the first move as he lunged at me. I attempted to block him but failed.

He smashes his fist into my head. I fly back and bounce against the wall. Landing on the floor. As I try to get up he lays a kick to my ribs. I fall back down. And I barely lift my head to see that The Other Guy 'who was wearing a camp shirt with camp pants and combat boots, he looks to be a decade older than me and he has grey spotted brown hair; had Alan pressed against the wall with his hand around his throat laying punches to his stomach.

I see the man in Blue about to lay another kick to my side. When right before his foot connects with my body I grab his foot. Making him lose his footing. And he falls and his head connects with the floor. That is sure to give him a concussion. I take this time to lunge at the guy hurting Adam.

Knocking him away from Adam and closer to the bathroom. As we are flipping around trying to both get control. I see the guy that had the helmet and who left with the main guy walk back into the room taking what looked like a taser wand out of his waist strap, I see a scar on his left hip that was going down his thigh as he was getting it Tasering Adam who's trying to catch his breath while laying on the ground.

The older man finally had me pinned. But I took both of my legs and kicked him off of me. I scurried to my feet but before I got my footing I felt something touching the side if my neck. The electricity shot into me. Then the room went black.

I came into consciousness as I was being dragged out of the room. The door next to mine opened and out came the main guy escorting the girls, who were crying and shaking. They seemed to be untouched

They drug me to the back of the van, I briefly saw Skyla running towards us. They threw me roughly into the van. One door shut and as the last one was being shut I seen Skyla tackled the Man holding the girls to the ground; allowing the girls to escape.

Five minutes passed and I was not very conscious the doors opened and a limp Erica and Mia were put in the van noticeable still untouched except for the taser marks. And that was the last thing I remember before I completely blacked out.

But not before I heard something hit the side of the Van.

*End of Flashback*

"I am so sorry this happened guys if only I could have protected you guys," I said as I look over Luke and Adam's face wounds. "Don't worry we are fine," Luke said as Adam pulls away and holds a depressed Mia. (They always seemed really close since the beginning of our adventure together.)

"Why are we still here?" Mia asked me as she stares at the door with a worried look. "And what happened to you?"

I retold what happened that night in great detail.

I looked down and fumble with my fingers. " And we are here because I..uh.I met my mate." I said while glancing up at them. Just to see their happy look. I got a bunch of Omg!, congrats! is he treating you right?

"Yes, yes he is. I really like him. No.. I think I love him." I say as sudden happiness is all I feel. As the realization hit. "Guys I got to go but let's have dinner together tonight and you can meet him," I said as I left the room. I take off running to the smell of him.

As I came to the door. I stopped, I could smell his scent. It was the smell of coffee beans and pine needles. Instead of knocking I barged in. David stood up out of his desk chair. I hurried over not breaking eye contact and stood in front of him. Putting my hands around his neck I pull his lips to mine. And I kiss him. After the pure shock left he kissed me back. As we kissed I said,

"I Love You."
