*Eighteen months ago*

*Maya's pov*

"Maya, come on, get up or we're going to be late for the party!" called my best friend and big brother, Mark. He was only two years older then me but he was mated and ready to take command when my father was ready to begin his life as a Elder.

"What time is it?" I asked.

"Time for you to get up and look at the damn clock." Maria, Mark's mate, said.

I busted up laughing, "Oh, shut up, Maria."

"Really, M, get up. If we don't show our faces at this party it'll be seen as disrespect to an Alpha." Mark said, pulling off the cover.

I was glad that I had thick hair past my butt. Usually, it kept cold away from me.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw my reflection. My long hair was black. My body was hourglass shaped, I weight 97 pounds, I was only 5'5" tall but my shortness only made me more flirty.

'Hey, Maya, we got a party to go to. I'd rather us look hot then not." Magic, my wolf said.

'Oh, you're right! I can't wait until I get to dance. I love it.' I cheered.

'Then change into something sexy, woman!' she yelled.

I got up and shower, shaved, curled my hair, and put on a dress. The dress was a beautiful midnight blue that went about seven inches passed my butt. I found some black heels and did my makeup. Over the passed year I had gotten quick.

"If anybody touches you tonight I will harm them in ways unknown to man." Mark said, growling.

"Aw, thanks, bro. But I think, Maria has different plans for you tonight." I told him with a wink.

By the time we got to the house hosting the party it was in full swing. The house was crazy big and you could see all the stupid Wolfs running amuck.

Then the second that I stepped out of my brother's car I smelt him. He was the perfect combination of the woods and the sea somehow. I smiled, knowing that I had just found my mate. I sniffed my way inside and onto the dance floor. There he stood with a smirk he pulled me to him.

"What's your name, sexy?" he asked, nuzzling my neck and taking in my scent.

"Maya Wolf." I said, swaying my hips closer to his. "What's you yours?"

"Henry Nightshade, newest pack Alpha of the Nightshade pack."

"Wait...you're the new Alpha we're welcoming?"

"Yeah," Henry said, kissing me. At first it started off slowly but it quickly picked up. I wrapped my arms around him, pulling him closer.

"Go with me somewhere more quiet?" Henry said. I nodded as he took my hand and lead me up stairs to a room that smelled just like him.

When we got there he laid me down on the bed and let his hands roam over my body. As he kissed me he slowly stripped my cloths off, fallowed by his. Then he laid on top of me. His skin making mine feel as if it were on fire as he kissed me down my neck.

He went lower and lower until he reached my chest. He sucked in a nipple the kneeled in between my legs. He wrapped my legs around him then gave me eye contact, asking for entrance.

I nodded and he plunged himself into me. I gasped as two things happened. The first was the pain. But the second was the mark of being mated to started to appear.

As the night went on we made love several more times. Each time got better. By the time we finished I was more tired then I had ever been. I fell asleep in Henry's arms. I couldn't wait to take him to meet my parents.

I woke up the next morning to the sound of my mate moving around. I opened my eyes and smiled at the sight of him. He was very handsome and strong. He would be protective, I knew he would.

But then he turned around and the look on his face was like nothing I had ever seen. His eyes were full of pure hate.

"Get dressed, get your stuff, and get out of my sight." Henry said, growling and showing his dominance.

"But--" I started.

"Get. Out. You are nothing to me and last night was nothing more to me then the nights I've had with so many others."

"H-Henry, please!" I let out a cry.

"Did you not hear me? That's it! I, Henry Nightshade, reject you, Maya Wolf, as my mate and Luna of my pack." Henry said, then he walked out of the room, slamming the door behind him.

As a new mark formed on my body I screamed. The mark was very painful, the mark of rejection.

As if ice now ran through my blood I moved very robotically.

I changed in to my clothes from last night and I left. Now, I don't just mean that I left the house. I mean I left the state. I left my home. I left my friends. I left my family. I left all that mattered to me.

*Nine months later*

"Push, Maya! Push!" chanted the nurse whose hand I was smashing.

"Oh, Moon Goddess, no more pain. Please, no more pain!" I screamed as I pushed again.

"I can see the baby crowning." said the doctor. "You only have a few more pushes once you get the head out." I gasped at the overwhelming pain that constantly ran through my body.

Yes, I was pregnant and now the baby was making his or her way into the world. But with every bit of pain that I got from the labor the love I felt for my child doubled.

With two more pushes I heard a loud cry and looked around for my baby.

"It's a boy!" the nurse said, bringing me my newborn.

"Mason Nightshade Wolf," I said the second that he touched my chest. When I looked down I could see his beautiful face and eyes. He looked just like his father but if his eyes stayed the blue like they were now he would have my eyes.

"Hi, baby, I'm Mommy. I love you." I said clutching him close and smelling his scent. A scent of peaches and the ocean. The ocean came from his father but the peaches came from me.
