I slipped out of Leos grasp and the sparks that danced along my skin subsided. My mind was so foggy, that I did not even realize what was happening to me. I could feel something stirring in my mind. Something that I had never felt before.
"I can't go with you... my mother is expecting me home soon," I said, attempting to turn around and walk home, until I met Oliver’s scared eyes.
I froze and sighed, allowing myself to be pulled back into Leos strong grip.
"You're mine, Nobody else's. MINE," he snarled in my ear, pulling me closer to his body. I could feel something sharp pierce the skin of my neck and I let out a loud scream. I instantly felt my knees go weak from the pain, but I did not fall thanks to Leos strong grip.
"No one will ever hurt you, angel," he said between placing light kisses against my wrist which made my heartbeat raise and my cheeks blush, "Let's go."
"Oliver," I say softly, looking in his direction but he refused to meet my eyes. I felt my body being lifted from the ground as Leo lifted me up to his chest.
"Oliver," he repeated, and he followed right after us immediately, not putting up a fight.
"You don't need Oliver now, princess. You have me and I will always protect you," he said, planting a kiss on my forehead as he carried me through the forest in silence.
It felt like forever that we were walking, and I do not ever remember coming out this far before. The road looked deserted, which would explain why it was so quiet. Out of nowhere, a large SUV pulled up in front of us and he placed me gently down on the ground, as he got in and pulled me in onto his lap in one swift motion. Oliver slid in awkwardly beside us.
"Whe...where are we going?" I stutter, still shaken up from the entire ordeal that is my life.
"We're going home, my little princess," he said.
"But... my house is in the opposite direction," I said, pointing the other way we were not going, starting to feel extremely groggy.
"Our house is this way," he said, as a low growl formed in his chest.
I glanced at Oliver who just shot me a look basically begging me to not fight back. I stayed quiet as Leo held me close, rocking me slowly and nuzzling into my neck. I felt my eyes slowly begin to close no matter how much I fought back. He was rubbing small circles on my lower back, and his scent was intoxicating. He smelled like just after it rains, but sweeter.
Black hair. Brown eyes. Stubble on his chin. Tall. Muscular. He would be the perfect dance partner, with his muscular arms and toned legs. We could create something beautiful, instead of the violence Alpha's usually bring.
Plump lips.
High cheekbones.
Thick eyebrows.
My eyes were getting heavy as I tried to memorize this beautiful man’s face.
"That's it my princess, go to sleep," Leo whispered, rocking me gently in his lap.
Leo's POV
The car ride continued, but I could only focus on my beautiful sleeping mate. Her hands were clinging to my shirt causing my wolf, Steel to purr. The sparks that danced across my skin when I touched her skin was intoxicating and I craved more.
"Is she asleep?" Oliver questioned, moving a little too close for my liking.
"She's fine," I growled back, holding her closer to me. I could not help but smile when she cuddled deeper into my arms. The car began to slow, and I noticed that my castle was just in sight.
The car came to a halt, and the driver immediately got out and opened the door for me.
"Welcome home, Alpha," He whispered, "Luna."
The last part brought a smile to my face to see that they were already recognizing her as their Luna. I walked inside and one of the Omegas ran to me immediately.
"Are you alright, Alpha? Your room is ready at your request," Liz spoke, bowing her head.
"Thank you, Liz. You may leave," I said smiling. In my castle, we were known for being kind to the people that it employed which was uncommon within our ranks. We prided ourselves treating our employed wolves gracefully.
I walked up the stairs and into my bedroom with Charlie tightly in my arms. The room was cleaned, and the bed had received extra pillows at my request. I also had my Omegas fill the other half of my closet with girl clothes, which brought a smile to my face as I peered over to it. I placed her gently inside the fluffy blankets and tucked her in, so she was comfortable. A small knock echoed at the door, and I opened it softly, trying not to disturb my beautiful mate.
"So, this is her?" my father commented as he moved closer to the bed she was sleeping in, causing me to let out a small growl. I was never the possessive or jealous type, but with Charlie I could feel Steel becoming aggravated.
"Yes, this is her," I said, trying to not get impatient at the intrusion.
"She's so cute!" my mother interrupted as she pushed past my father trying to get a better look at Charlie. I couldn’t blame either of them. I have waited for her for so long and they have always wanted what was best for me.
"Unfortunately, she is exhausted and overwhelmed. Your meeting will have to wait until tomorrow," I say, getting more and more annoyed at my parents.
“You’ve marked her already!” my father said, slapping my shoulder. “Good man.”
My mother rolled her eyes at him, and gave me a gentle hug, “I’m so happy for you, Leo,” She whispered as she pulled my father towards the door.
They left the room shortly after, and I shut the door behind them. Before I could get changed, I was interrupted yet again by another knock on the door. Without saying a word, a curious Oliver poked his head through. Before he could say anything, I had him pinned against the closest wall, as I barred my teeth.
"If you ever hurt my mate again, I will make your death slow and painful, do you understand me?" I growled, low enough not to wake my precious sleeping mate. He nodded frantically, as I let him go. He took a huge breath of air, as he was backing away towards the door.
"Is she doing alright?" He asked, and I could not help but nod.
"So far, so good," I replied, looking at her sleeping form cocooned in all the pillows.
"This is only the beginning, Leo," Oliver commented. “What if she really doesn’t have a wolf?”
"I know, I'm not going to push her. As her mate I am here to protect her like a good mate should no matter what. Now if you will excuse us," I comment, nodding towards the open bedroom door.
"Oh yes!” he started before turning around again, "By the way, Emily wants to meet your mate soon," Oliver commented. The mention of Oliver’s mate settled Steel a little, but still wanted the intruder out of my room.
"That will be arranged when Charlie is settled," I say, giving him a small smile.
"Sounds good," He says, waving himself off as he closed the bedroom door behind him.
After a couple of moments, I decided to change out of these clothes and get into bed with my beautiful mate. Once I get under the covers, she cuddled into my body, her head burying into my chest. I cannot help but smile at this, and I give her forehead a little kiss before gently closing my eyes.
The last thought I can remember I had was me wondering if she is still a dancer.

☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒LeoOur sleep together was peaceful. We were wrapped together, buried beneath the sheets as the sun shone through the window. Charlie groaned softly, snuggling her head deeper into my chest, trying to block the sunlight from her face which made my wolf purr in content.A soft knock woke me up from my sleep, which irritated me. I slowly slipped out of bed, replacing myself with a pillow which my little mate hugged and snuggled with deeply. I stood looking at her for a moment as a warm smile spread across my lips. A second knock came from the door, snapping me out of my daydream once again. I opened the door and stepped outside closing it quietly behind me.I looked up to see an anxious looking Oliver looking back at me."What are you doing here Oliver?!” I shout as quietly as I can. "You don't need to care for her, she's mine. I am her mate, not you!"I could feel my blood pressure begin to rise and
☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒I was not exactly sure how long I slept but I woke up with the fire returning to my body. I was so unbelievably hot. I threw the blanket away from me and squirmed trying to get out of the bed. It did absolutely nothing to help, and I could see Leo's body was still tightly wrapped around me, which I knew did nothing to help my situation either. My school uniform was still on my body, and I felt like it was on fire as it touched my skin. The leggings underneath my skirt made it almost unbearable to wear them.Leo began to shuffle behind me, sensing that I was uncomfortable. I felt his hand reach under my skirt and grab the hem of my leggings. I put my hands over his and mumbled incoherent nothings to him."Just take it off baby, you're burning up. I promise I won't do anything; you just have to take it off," he said reassuringly.I was hot, and extremely tired. All I wanted to do was nuzzle back into his chest, so I grabbed the hem of m
☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒Although it felt completely strange to have my wolf show up now, she explained it was because I was near my mate. She explained that she was sent by the Moon Goddess herself to me, and that she had special plans for me. I chuckled at that, but Faleece was extremely adamant on saying that I was special. She told me that my mate was not as bad as I was making him out to be, and that I just needed to give him a chance and that he would show me how powerful I could be. Now that was something we could disagree on.I had begun eating the tray of food that was left on my desk, as Faleece and I talked. She was extremely intelligent, and I could tell that she had a good soul which made me happy.The world had finally felt a lot less lonely.When I noticed that the sun had come up, I sensed a strange tingling sensation run through me right to the mark on my neck. I knew it was him before he even stepped into the room. The clicking of the lock a
☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒After Griffen had left, I decided that it was time to shower and change my clothes. My closet had been stocked with everything I could imagine. I found a simple underwear set and a loose blouse with leggings. Although I felt like a prisoner, I didn’t have to look like one, at least. He had also stocked it with shelves of makeup, and perfumes. I decided that less was more in this case, and put on some mascara and a pale pink lip gloss.Before throwng on my blouse, I took a long look in the mirror. The scar that sat above my belly button taunted me, as of it was satisfied that it had made itself known to Leo and Griffen. I shook away these thoughts as a knock came at the door, so I threw my blouse on quickly before answering the door.Leo had one of the Omega’s come to my room and escort me down to the dining room for supper. We walked down the long halls taking many turns on the way I paid special attention to her directions when
☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒Leo's POVMy eyes shot open, as I could hear Steel growling in my mind.Something felt off, something was not right.Unable to control myself, my body ran to Charlies room, but she was not there. Panic rushed through me as I had realized her scent was faint as well. Steel began pushing for control, feeling uncomfortable that his mate was missing. We had such a pleasant evening last night. Her smile etched itself into my brain, as I fell asleep replaying her laugh over and over again.I flung out of her room without a second thought, still in my boxers. I ran down the hall frantically, searching for my mate. Would she be in pain without me? What would happen if she decided to run away?"Charlie?" I shouted, my voice echoing through the empty hallways."Alpha?" I hear people ask, making my wolf angrier and more tense that none of the voices were Charlie's."NO! Where is Charlie?" I growl, mov
☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒ My heart was about to burst out of my chest. The sound of screaming was echoing through the walls of the darkened castle. I had never heard anything like this, and it worried me that no one else seemed to be around to check it out. I crept out of bed and followed the screams, until it led me to the outside of Leo's bedroom door. Leo had decided that locking me in my room was the wrong way to go about keeping me here, so he let me roam freely as long as I promised I wouldn’t run. Plus, I think his mother was serious when she said she would cook his wolf for dinner. I silently opened it, and I let out a small gasp. Although he was asleep in his gigantic king size bed, he was thrashing and there was sweat pooling on his forehead. His screams filled my ears, as I quietly walked towards the bed. A deep frown had formed on his face, and it made my heart ache. I gently pushed the covers back and got in beside him wanting to ease his pain. His screams si
☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒We have both taken up our usual spot on the office couch, mine against the side and his in the middle with my legs resting above his. He usually had one hand holding a book, and another gently massaging my toes. I would sneak little glances at him between pages and notice all his faces he would make at his book.Sometimes his brow would furrow, and I could tell he was not exactly happy at what was happening in his book. Sometimes his lips would have a slight curl to them, knowing that whatever was happening, made him even the slightest bit happy. I could see the bags resting underneath his eyes, and that made my heart want to reach out for him.Ever since I had gotten my own room, his nightmares seemed only to get worse, until I would creep into his room and hold him. So far, this was every night occurrence, so I had just decided it was easier for me to stay in his room. I know I should not be so concerned, especially with someone who had ki
☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒He pulled me out towards the sliding glass doors that lead to the back of the house. He brought me through the gardens where I could see a gorgeous man-made waterfall that filled the backyard with its soothing sound. The flowers were in full bloom, which were all different colors that wrapped around the house, causing the scent to be light and flowery. I let out a giggle, thinking back to Griffens comments about Leo showing me the gardens. Leo cocked an eyebrow at me but continued to lead me further.In the corner of my eye, I could see a large slab of concrete that laid in the very center. I walked over towards it immediately, realizing that it was huge. The way it laid, flowers surrounding its edge, could only mean that it was used for events that happened in the backyard.I closed my eyes, listening to the sounds of the waterfall, taking in the scent of my mate and the freshly bloomed flowers. Without realizing, my body began to move. Eve
