Mates. 

What the hell is that?

I look between Jacob and his mom. "Can someone please tell me what the fuck is a mate?" 

Jacob puts his hand on my thigh again, and again, I feel the tingles. I feel myself calm down and I roll my eyes. What the hell is he doing? 

"Every werewolf has a mate. Mates are chosen by the moon goddess, you guys were made for each other, you usually find your mate after your first shift. One of the signs of someone being your mate is the sparks you feel when you touch. You guys are able to calm each other down and the stronger your bond gets the more you will crave each other when you aren't around another. Brooklyne depending on how long you stay away from him you will get sick. You will naturally feel comfortable, loved, and cared for by your mate. As you become luna, you guys will be able to feel and hear what the other does. You will also be able to hear the pack's thoughts." His mom says. 

"But I'm not a werewolf," I say and laugh nervously. "Obviously you must be." His dad says.

"DAVID!" His mom hisses. "Be nice to her!" 

"Well, she must be because she's the mate to an Alpha." 

"What the fuck is an alpha and a luna?" 

"They are the two highest-ranked and most protected in the pack. They are the leaders." Jacob says, finally looking at me. 

"I'm not even a werewolf!" 

Jacob places his hand on my leg again and the tingles start to calm me. I jump up. "No! You do NOT get to do that!" I say to him. 

"Brooke, sit back down, and you know you love the way it makes you feel." 

I sigh. He's right but I'll never let him know that.

I plop back down in the seat and cross my arms. "Isn't she just a little ray of sunshine?" His dad says. I roll my eyes and Annabelle hits David's arm. 

"I told you to be nice." She says. 

He chuckles and says nothing more. 

"So what does this mean?" I ask. 

Annabelle answers first, "You will have to move in here and live with us. Now that you and Jacob have found each other, you can't be separated for too long. Almost everyone in the pack lives here, those that clash with their parents a lot live here, those that can't afford to live on their own, live here. Everyone that lives here is protected from anyone that would be a threat." 

I sit there silent. Processing. 
"Okay," I say. 

They leave Jacob and I still sitting in the room. 

The door closes behind them and he turns to me. 

"I know this is a lot to take in, and if you don't want to move in here, then I understand. But know that it's better for you, for us, if you do move in here." He says and I nod. 

"I will," I say, he says nothing else, he stands up and walks out. 

What the actual fuck just happened. I get up from the chair and walk out. I don't know where I am and I don't know where I am going. 

I need to find Jacob I already miss him. 

I make my way through the house, not exactly knowing where to go. I come to a staircase and make my way up it. I get to the top and when I turn around the corner, I hit someone. 

"I am so sorry," I say standing up. 

My back hits a wall before I can even blink and there is a tall, masculine guy holding me against it with his arm. "Who the fuck are you and why are you in my house." He says, his voice thick.

"I-" My words are caught in my throat when I'm pushed to the ground. A sharp pain shoots through my side and I wince. 

"What the hell?!" I yell. 

"Who are you!" He yells back.

"Get the fuck off of her!" Jacob yells running up the stairs. 

The guy gets off me and stands up looking at Jacob. 

"What the hell Liam!" He yells at him. 

"I thought she was a rogue!" Liam says. 

"She's not she's my mate." He explains while helping me up. I let him take my hand and pull me up off the ground. The sparks flooding me. He pulls me into his side and puts his arm around me. 

"I didn't know!" Liam says. 

"Yeah, whatever. Get out of my face and let everyone else know if they are seen touching her or looking at her in any way I will put their head on a platter." 

Liam nods and runs down the stairs. 

Jacob pulls away from me and looks at me, "are you hurt?" 

He starts checking my body and I laugh. "I'm alright." 

He nods and takes my hand, leading me more down the hall, and up another flight of stairs. "We do have an elevator. " He says. I nod. 

He leads me down this hall, and at the end of the hall to the right, he stops. "This is our room, but when you first move in, if you'd like your own room, we can do that." He says. I nod my head once more, and he opens the door. There is a big bed, posters of different quotes, a desk, a chair to the desk, a walk-in closet, a tv, and the walls are grey. 

I sit on his bed and he walks over to the closet. He slips off his black tee shirt and replaces it with another. I try not to look at him but I can't help it. He has a toned body. Abs from hell. I bite my lip and I hear him laugh. I shake out of my thoughts and look at him. 

"Like the view?" He asks. 

"No," I say and shrug. He laughs and sits on the bed. 

"I'm sorry about Liam, he's my Beta, the second in command." He explains. 

"It's okay," I say. 

He moves farther on to the bed and I want to reach out and touch him. I want to feel the sparks. I want them to flood my body and make me feel protected. 

As if he heard my thoughts, he reaches over and pulls me into him. I fix myself and lay my head on his chest. The sparks explode in my body and I feel myself relax into him. I am so tired. 

He lays back on the bed, keeping me laying on his chest, and I feel myself drift to sleep. I feel him plant a soft kiss on my head and I let sleep welcome me.
