"Stand" he commanded and Rose stood up instantly.
"Name?" He asked.
"Rose" She answered quietly, looking to her feet, an amazing aroma filling her nose. Luke used his thumb and finger to lift Rose's gaze from the floor to his eyes and a shock of electricity ran through both their bodies. Rose jumped back, her eyes widening and she sniffed the air, the strong scent of Lavender and Roses filled her nostrils. The same scent she smelt when she entered the house. Luke smiled warmly at her.
"Rose. A beautiful name, for my mate" she stated. Michael gasped "s-she's your mate?".
"Yes, she is" Like me said turning to face Michael."And I'd like you to take her up to my room, for a shower and ask Melody for spare clothes. Then bring her back down to my den, so we can talk." He ordered Michael.
"Yes Alpha Luke" Michael nodded and grabbed Rose's arm dragging her up the stairs to Luke's bedroom.
On the top floor, they entered the attic room, with a balcony, ensuite and a walk in closet. The bed lay next to the balcony, with a small white bedside table next to it. The bed was king sized with three white pillows on each side and a dark grey duvet cover, a massive cuddly toy penguin placed in the middle of it, to which Rose smiled at; she's always loved penguins. On the opposite wall was a flat screen TV with a white bookcase below it filled with DVDs, CDs and an Xbox and PS4 on the top shelf. On the other side of the balcony was a dark grey corner sofa, cushions pulled on top and a black coffee table in front of it. Next to the sofa was a door that led to an ensuite and another door that led to a walk in closet.
Michael turned to Rose."The showers through there, take as long as you like I'll be outside waiting for you, with some spare clothes from Melody" he told her and she nodded walking towards the door.
She shut the door and locked it. Rose turned to the mirror and sighed, she looked awful and she just met her mate, looking like this. She thought he was sure to reject her as a mate.
"I'm going to make a good impression on him, my mate" she told herself, turned the shower on and began to strip out of her clothes.
She got into the shower and let the warm water soak into her body. Slowly she opened her eyes looking for the shampoo. Her eyes travelled to the pink love heart and written in it was 'For My Mate' in cursive writing. Rose smiled, he must have been looking forward to meeting his mate, but probably not in this way.

Rose stepped out of the shower, wrapping a warm white fluffy towel around her small body. A knock on the door was heard and her head turned to the White door.
"Are you done? Do you want your clothes?" Michael asked from the other side.
"Yes please"Rose replied and unlocked the door. Michael opened the door with his eyes closed, holding out a pile of clothes and a hairdryer in front of him.
"Thanks" Rose said taking the pile from his hands and putting them on the counter,
"No problem"Michael said eyes still closed turning away, but hitting his head on the door frame.
"OW, ugh stupid thing" He whined and Rose giggled slightly at him.
"I'll just be outside" he said laughing.
Rose dressed herself in the clothes she had been given, a pair of black leggings and a grey sweatshirt that fitted nicely, a bit oversized, but meant to be like that. She dried her hair and slipped on the pair of fluffy socks. Looking at her reflection, yet again, this time slightly pleased with what she saw: the cuts had mostly healed and the bruises not showing as much now. Her hair flowed down her back reaching the middle, running her fingers through her now soft and shiny hair and smiled in content.
Michael smiled at Rose as she exited the bathroom and stood up.
"Finally, Alpha will be waiting for you" He said and Rose nodded.
They made their way down the stairs and entered a medium sized room filled with bean bags, a large sofa, game tables and consoles. Every boys dream. Luke sat in front of the large flat screen TV playing GTA.
"Alpha?" Michael called and Luke's head tuned towards Rose and Michael. He paused his game and walked up to them.
"You can go now Michael" He commanded and Michael nodded, leaving the room. Luke smiled at Rose and said "Why don't we go somewhere a little more comfortable?" Luke said taking Rose's hand, sparks erupting inside both of them. Leading her to a door, painted to look like part of the wall as if it was a secret hide out. He opened the door and closed it after they both entered. The room wasn't too big, but wasn't too small. It was just right, it was cosy and homey. A small fireplace next to the door and a small square window, to the right wall of the fireplace. In front of the fireplace was a small grey sofa and a dark blue love seat, both covered with different shaped and coloured cushions. Luke pulled Rose over to the sofa and sat them both down. He looked deeply, into her dark blue eyes and she couldn't help but stare back, into his light blue ones.
"What happened to you? Why did you turn up here? Like this?" He asked worry evident in his voice, but she was quiet. She didn't want anyone to know. Even if he was her mate, she didn't want him to get hurt.
"Answer me Rose, I want to know" He said "I need to know".
Rose gulped and shook her head 'no'. Luke sighed taking her hands into his.
"Please tell me, It's my duty to know" he said and she shook her head again 'no' and lowered it looking into her lap, ashamed at what she had done.
"Ok, you don't have to tell me yet" Luke nodded at Rose and she answered with an 'Ok'.
"What's your full name?" He asked and Rose's head shot up and her eyes widened, he's going to reject her, this can't happen to her, she can't handle that much hurt. A look of realisation spread across his face.
"I'm not going to reject you, why would I?, your beautiful" Luke admitted, his opinion changing from earlier.
"No I'm not" Rose shook her head.
"Yes you are, when I first saw you, I admit, I didn't think too much of you."he told her tucking a piece of hair behind her ear."But now, after you've cleaned up, you look so cute and beautiful and I just want to cuddle with you all night, and call you mine"
