6 - mate?

    We just sat there staring at each other. Then suddenly I remembered where we were and who I was with. I was with rouges inside a packs territory and the Alpha does not travel at night without guards.
   My wolf screamed at me to just approach him but there was no way I was going to risk the entire group getting killed because I couldn't stop staring at my mate.
   With that thought in mind I jumped to my feet ran to the giant cooking pot in the middle of the camp and started banging on it.
    Everyone jumped awake when I started hitting the pot. I knew that our group wouldn't attack them unless they attacked us first. When Damon's guards saw that I was waking everyone up they came out of the bushes and surrounded Damon, growling at us.
    Sasha came to stand in front of the alpha and the guards while our warriors came to stand behind her and in front of the elders and children, Sasha spoke in a calm voice saying "we mean you and your pack no harm, we are just passing thru"
   The head of the pack guards growled and said "what are you doing in our territory" I'm standing beside Sasha as she explains our situation. I'm happy yet a little disappointed that none of them recognize me.
   The head of the guards I noticed is my brothers friend Damien. He doesn't seem to have changed much. The others are all the same old boring guards that guarded the old alpha.
   Then my eyes slide to my mate, he looks hot even in his wolf form. He has gotten stronger since the last time I saw him, the size of his legs are evidence of that. His wolf is solid black and larger than his guards. And his eyes are flashing from green to gold showing that he was having trouble keeping control. Even with that i can still see the hurt in his eyes. I myself was having trouble stopping my wolf from taking over, all she wanted to do right now was run up to our mate and get to know him, and apologize for ruining our moment.
   I was drawn back into conversation when I heard shouting. "It doesn't matter if your hiding from someone this is still our territory and your not welcome here" Damien shouted and the other wolves growled in agreement. "Atta-" Damien was about to give the command to attack when Damon cut in shouting "wait". Everyone froze not expecting Damon to say anything. He shifts and looks at me sounding as if hes out of breath he says "Luna" he says a name I never thought I'd hear again.

Damon's POV
  "Damon you need to pick someone to be your mate" my dad was telling. According to him I won't be a proper alpha until I get a mate. "You know Damon that Salena girl looks like wou-". "You mean the pack slut, god no she is the absolute last person I would choose to be my mate, Besides you know I want to wait and find my soulmate" I said cutting him off. "Damon I know you want that but the chances of finding your mate are so rare. I think you should just give it up and pick someone, I know that that is the last thing you want to hear but Damon our pack has grown to over a thousand wolves, and you can't rule for long without a mate"
   I ignored him and left the house. It was the middle of the night so the second that I left 7 guards followed. They could sense I was angry and were smart to give me some distance. I ran to the woods and shifted into my wolf. I didn't think I just ran. I didn't stop to see where I was or weather my guards were able to keep up. Suddenly I caught sent of a amazing smell. It smelled like buttercups my favorite flower. But this isnt the season that they grow in. Suddenly curious I follow to scent. Once I start getting close my wolf starts screaming the one word I've been waiting to hear for years. Mate.
    I poke my head out of a bush and the first thing I see are gorgeous bright blue eyes staring back at me. I just look at her stunned. She is sitting up on a blanket, my best guess at her height would be 5'4, she had beautiful white hair that travels down a few inches past her waste. She is looking at me shocked, and suddenly a memory of a missing girl comes to mind.

6 years ago
   I'm running around with my friend Damien when suddenly I see a girl about 10 years old carrying laundry into the pack house. She is wearing old clothes that look like they've been passed down for generations. Curious I ditch Damien and walk up to the girl. "hi im Damon, I don't think I've seen you around before" I say to her, she doesn't act surprised, but she does have a look of panic in her eyes like she's waiting for something. I look at her weirdly and ask "are you OK?" She looks stunned and says "most people dont talk to me unless their telling me to do something or teasing me" she hesitation and adds "or beating me" I look at her in surprise and suddenly see that she has a large bruise on her cheek, and so i ask "why would people treat you like that" she once again looks stunned but quickly replies "well I was born the beta's daughter but I was so weak when I was born I was demoted to omega, people have always treated me like this" the last part she says so quietly I barely hear her. I'm stunned, I didn't know the beta had another daughter. I realized she hasn't told me her name so I asked her again "what's your name" she just says "I'm Luna" suddenly she lookes panicked and adds "my name is Luna I don't mean it as the title" I give her a gentel smile and say "when I become alpha I'll make sure you or anyone else is never ever treated this way"

Present day
    I look at her stunned recognizing her. I'm about to approach her when she looks panicked, its only when she gets up and runs that I realize she's in a large group of sleeping rouges.
    Suddenly she starts banging on a pot and waking up all the rouges. At the same moment my guards come out of the bushes and surround me. My mate stands next to a girl that introduced herself as Sasha. I don't pay attention to what they are saying instead looking at my mate with a hurt look. The next thing I know I hear my beat start to give the command to attack and without thinking I shout "stop" without breaking eye contact with my mate I shift and called out her name "Luna" she looks stunned.
