My Very Own Alpha Mate

Chapter 8

Scarlet's pov

The next morning, I woke up on Zacharys bed but he wasn't in it. I sat up quickly looking around. Hearing the water from the bathroom made me sigh in relief.

'Zachary's still here..' I thought with a smile. The water stopped and the bathroom door slowly opened. Zachary walked out with a towel around his waist. Water dripped down from his hair and down his chest. I stared at him not able to take my eyes off of him.

"Your turn" Zachary said pulling out some clothes. I got off the bed and walked into the bathroom closing the door behind me. I turned the water on and stripped my clothes. I stayed in the shower for a while making sure to wash myself. Getting out, I brushed my hair and got dressed. I wore a red plaid shirt that was long in the back and short in the front, black skinny jeans and mid-high heel boots. I curled my hair and put a little bit of makeup on. I walked out the bathroom and smiled at the sight in front of me.

"Are you ready to go?" Zachary asked tilting his head. Zachary wore a long sleeve buttoned up blue shirt, black jeans and blue converse shoes. His hair was still a little bit wet from the shower. Half of his face was covered by his hair making him look hot.

"Where are we going?" I asked grabbing his hand in mine. We walked out the room, downstairs and outside into the sunny air. Zachary didn't answer my question as he lead me deep into the forest. I puffed my cheeks out wondering where he was taking me. Zachary took me to a lot of places talking and making me laugh. There was something he was hiding from me but when I asked, he would dismiss it with anothed tour somewhere. Finally nighttime came around and my surprise was finally here. Zachary lead me to the place that we sat and kissed when we found out we were mates. My mouth dropped opened and my eyes widened. There was a blanket laying near the lake, a basket in the middle, candles lit everywhere and the moonlight shone directly over it all making it look so beautiful. Next to the blanket was a farely nice painting of me and Zachary sitting together under the moonlight. Soft music could be heard playing.

"Did you do all of this?" I half whispered looking around with big round eyes. Zachary chuckled at my reaction but nodded.

"Yeah... well with help from some of my pack members of course.. I cooked the food though" He answered rubbing the back of his head. I hugged his waist tightly happy before running over to the blanket. If I knew it was gonna be this kind of date then I would have worn a dress. Zachary walked over and sat down across from me. He then started pulling out food and drinks from the basket. The smell overwhelmed me. There was bread, shrimp and noodles, sandwhiches, soda, regular juice, etc. Just so much food that I lost count when I started eating.

"This is amazing!" I said, my mouth half full. Zachary laughed at me and reached over wiping some food crumbs from my face. I blushed in embrassment and dranked some soda. The music switched to a slow dance. Zachary stood up holding out his hand.

"May I have this dance?" He asked with that cute smile of his. I nodded and grabbed his hand standing up. Zachary lead me into the glistening water and started dancing. I put my ear against Zacharys chest listening to his heartbeat. I closed my eyes and prayed that this moment would last forever. Zachary lifted my head up and kissed me with so much love that I might have explode. I kissed back with as much love as I could possible give him. I didn't know how to show him my love but I was going to. One way or another. We spend the rest of the day chatting, eating and dancing. We even went swimming in the lake. The date was just perfect.

When we arrived home, everything looked like a complete mess. There was injured people everywhere and some pack members were trying bring them inside to the pack doctor. I stood there shocked not knowing what was going on or what was happening. Zachary got right into action asking pack members questions and getting the injured people inside. Getting over my shock, I rushed over and started helping as well.

"A pack member attacked us! I think it was those guys that kidnapped our Luna" One guy said. My eyes widen and I bite my lip not liking the sound of that. Did they really want me back that badly? Suddenly, there was shouting from outside. Zachary and I ran outside to find Ally laying on the floor dead. I covered my mouth and turned my head. Three figures stood on either side of us but one figure caught my attention.

"John?"
