Sierra's POV.

I woke up to yelling coming from down stairs. I sat up and looked over at the clock... One in the morning? I rubbed my eyes and yawned. Wonder who was fighting at this time? I stood and made my way down stairs to see Ian and Marshall pacing the living room while April and Clara comforted each other at the dinning table "What's wrong?" I asked catching all of their attentions "I told you to stop yelling." Ian mumbled looking over at Marshall who glared at him then looked at me.

"We... We found a dead child by the gates. We believe this is a warning." Ian explained causing Marshall to smack his teeth and look over at him "I told you not to tell her." Marshall reminded angrily. My heart ached at the news.. "I couldn't just sit here and fiddled my fingers Marshall. Rayne is out somewhere probably getting drunk, she is still our Luna because if the rejection was real we would have all felt the disconnect." Ian explained outraged "A dead child..." Rayne's voice came from the door and I looked over at him.

I hugged myself and focused my attention on Ian "What were the wounds on the child?" I questioned Ian clearing his throat before speaking "Bite marks, claw marks. But..." He trailed off as he walked over to Rayne and whispered something to him. I quickly approached them "I want to know." I spoke sternly and Rayne glared at me. Now that I was up close... I could smell the alcohol on him.

I made a repulsive expression and he rolled his eyes "I had a few drinks then came back alright?" He explained. For some reason I believed him but brushed it off as I went back to the situation at hand "What else?" I asked Ian causing him to tense then look at Rayne "Tell her, she's still Luna." Rayne assured nodding. I looked at Ian tentative as he let out a breath "There was a M carved into his skin, which seemed to be with a knife." Ian informed my heart dropping for this kid. I placed my hand on my chest in attempt to steady my heart "Mark." April mumbled my heart pounding at the mention of his name.

I stepped back as complete fear consumed me. The presence of that man terrified me now he was craving his first name initial into little boys skin? I want breathing heavy and Rayne quickly smacked his teeth and lightly pushed back Ian so he could get to me "Relax okay? He won't get near you or the pack." He assured kissing the top of my head. My heart soared at his touch and I rested my hands on his chest taking a whiff of his scent "I will make sure guards are on patrol tonight. Tomorrow when everyone is up we will establish all of this and figure out what our next plan it." Ian assured smirking and crossing his arms "For now, can you two just go and make up?" Marshall finished off causing me to step back and blush "We should talk..." Rayne agreed everyone in the room nodding.

I gave in and grabbed my black sweater and put it on. I walked out with him and he nervously stuffed his hands in his pockets as we stood outside on the porch "I walked away because..." He trailed off and took his right hand out of his pocket in order to rub the back of his neck "I thought of all the woman I had slept with. I didn't want you to feel like you were just one of them." He admitted causing my heart to pound.

I snuggled into my sweater and looked ahead not replying to him wanting him to continue "I wanted it to be special..." He added causing me to look up at him "You made me feel things I never felt before, and I didn't want you feel like you are just some other female I have sex with." He explained further facing me now looking me directly in the eye "I would take you somewhere but with the threat we just had... I don't want to put you in danger." He explained taking my hand.

I allowed him to because I honestly just missed his touch "I bought us a house..." He informed my eyes widening at his words "Y-You bought us a house?" I repeated dumb founded causing him to chuckle "I really did. I wanted to get away from everything and everyone. I just wanted us to be together." He admitted my heart soaring at his words... I can't believe I rejected him without letting him explain. I'm so stupid!
