Chapter 5

LIzzie POV

After the men rushed the alpaha, I asked them what they wanted. When I recognized that they were warriors from my father. Alpha shoved me behind him. He then started asking them questions.

"What the hell do you want?"

" We have come for the girl."

"Over my dead body."

He accidentally knocked me off the bed, and I fell on the floor. I screamed in pain, which caused the alpha to get even angrier. He started to fight the men. He hit the first one in the throat, which surprised him. He dropped to his knees, then he kicked him in the head and knocked him out. The second man pushed the alpha against the bed, and the bed slammed into me. It reopened my wound, and my blood was starting to gush out. I was getting dizzy from the pain and from the blood loss.

Five other men ran into the room and dragged the men out. The alpha turned around, picked me up, and put me back on the bed. The doctor ran in, and instead of fighting him, I lay as still as possible. He got a syringe and injected something into my IV. I was asleep in seconds. When I woke up again, I was wearing a clean gown and in a different room. The alpaha was there.

" You are awake."

"What's your name?"

" Im Alpha Wayne."

Alpha Wayne, I had run into the Timber Pack land. He was known for accepting people from all sorts of lifestyles. He was known for being kind. He might give me sanctuary. Charlotte then reminded me that he was my mate. I knew everything would be ok. I knew I told him that I was a werewitch. He said that was fine with him. 

"Are you ok?"

" Yes, baby Im fine."

" My name is Lizzie."

I was worried about him. He was my mate, but I had never meant him a day in my life before the other night. I had no idea how many days I had been here. He was being sweet. He was acting like a mate. However, I still had doubts that this was all a game. I knew that I was in a lot of pain, and my heart hurt because my father wanted me dead. I could not handle that right now. I turned my back to him and started to cry. He climbed onto the bed and held me.

" Sweetheart its ok."

" I don't know how you're feeling right now, but Im here for you."

That made me cry even harder. A perfect stranger was here for me. I knew that the moon goddess paired me with him. I could reject him; however, I was not going to do that. I cried as he held me. I cried so hard that I cried myself to sleep. When I woke up, he was still in bed with me, holding me. For the first time in days, I felt safe. I lay there with his arms around me and do not move. 

It was a short time later that the doctor came in.

" I need to check your wound, sweetie."

It was Wayne who spoke up.

"She's not your sweetie."

" Alpha, calm down."

The doctor was right. He was just being nice. He did not mean any harm by what he said. Wayne got off the bed, and I lay on my back. The doctor examined my wound, and it was healing. 

" She can get the stitches out tomorrow. "

That was the nice thing about being a werewolf: we heal pretty fast. The wound had to be pretty bad if it took this long to heal. It did not help that I had torn it open several times. Also, keeping my emotions in check helped with healing.

" She can go to your house today if you promise that she will rest."

" I promise."

I had no intention of doing anything else but resting. I needed to figure out how to keep my father and his warriors away from me. I needed to figure out how to protect these people. They did not need to get hurt because of me. My father would stop at nothing to kill me now that he knows that Im a werewitch. He then handed me a pair of sweats.

"I had my beta bring these for you."

It was a blue hoodie and gray sweatpants. It had a picture of his academy on it. 

" Step out so you can get dressed."

"There is no need for you to do that."

He looked at me, shocked. He has already seen me naked. There was nothing left to hide from him. 

" You have already seen me naked."

I slowly got off the bed and then got dressed. Wayne helped me by allowing me to lean on him while I got my pants on. The only thing I did not have was underwear. I was sure that I could ask him to get me some. 

" Are you ready to go?"

" Yes, I am."

He picked me up, carried me to the elevators, and then, when we got to our floor, he carried me to the waiting car. It was a Ford red convertible Mustang. It looked pretty nice. I had no idea how he fit in because he was so tall and big. The car itself was small. Then a man opened the door. Wayne didn't even put me down; he got in the passenger seat with me still in his arms. I sat on his lap. I wondered how far we had to go. Because if it were too far, having someone sit on your lap in such a small car would get uncomfortable. But to my surprise, we were driving for like ten minutes, then we reached our destination.

The house that we pulled up to was huge. There were people lined up on the stairs waiting to greet us. He then whispered into my ear.

"Welcome home, Luna."
