Chapter 4

Rain POV:

We sat on the bed getting to know each other for hours when we started the moon was high in the sky. I don't know for how long we were talking to each other but I learned a lot about Rex. I learned that he's 22 years old and that he willingly became a rogue wolf along with his beta and gamma. And that he did it because his parents wanted to force him into a mating that he didn't want, and that he wanted to wait for his mate, well me, it made me feel bad because he waited years for me and I was locked away by my pack, even if I wanted to I wouldn't have been able to get to him.

"Thank god I ran away when I did", I think to myself when the thought of never meeting Rex crossed my mind.

"I'm glad to," Whisper says in my head, agreeing with me. I lean back into the headboard of the bed and think more about the conversation that we had not even a moment ago.

I'm woken up by shaking, I groan and hit the hand away. When the hand comes back and starts shaking my shoulder again I smack it away and turn away, trying to get away from whoever it was that was trying to wake me from my sleep.

"Come on, it's time to get up" A sweet but deep voice whispers into my ear.

"5 more minutes," I say back with my voice muffled from my face in the pillow.

"That's what you said 10 minutes ago" I hear the voice say and then a soft chuckle when I don't get back up. I sigh and turn back around and face the voice. I open my eyes and smile when I see brown eyes staring back at me.

"There you are," Rex says with a smile on his face. I sit up with a groan and move back so that my back is against the headboard.

"What time is it?" I ask, rubbing my eyes and looking at the big window.

"7 in the morning," Rex says, standing up and walking to the closet. I groan and fall back onto the bed.

"Why'd you have to wake me up so early?" I ask sitting back up at full attention when he walks out shirtless.

"Like what you see," he says, and I can feel my face heating up from embarrassment. I looked down, finding my hands to be really interesting at the moment.

"No need to be embarrassed, I like that your stares are on me," he says, causing my face to become an even deeper shade of red. I could tell he noticed this because he chuckled and walked into the bathroom. It has been a couple of days since Rex saved me from that rogue and I would be lying if I said that I didn't like it here. This pack is so much different than my old pack, they actually care for the omegas in this pack and they treat them as equals. Not only that they accepted me right away, but they also didn't even know that I was Rex's mate and they accepted me. They didn't beat me or force me to cook or clean for them, no they brought me into their home like I was one of them, it made me feel loved, and wanted, this was the pack that I always wanted, the pack that I always dreamed of, and I finally found it, and I was never going to let it go, no matter what.

I stayed in bed trying not to fall back asleep, and I don't know when it happened, but the darkness of sleep overtook me, and I fell back into a deep slumber. I don't know how long I was asleep for but the next thing I know I'm woken up by a deep chuckle next to my ears. The sound was music to my ears, it was a sound that I can listen to for years and never get bored of it.

"Well, and I was wondering why it was so quiet in here" I hear Rex say with a smile on his face. I let out a small laugh and turned towards him and wrapped my arms around him and opened my eyes to see him staring back at me, with so much love, causing my smile to deepen.

"I think you should hop into the shower and get ready, we're going to have a busy day," Rex says, unwrapping his arms from around me and getting up and off the bed. I groan and stretch getting up and walking to the bathroom to go and get ready for the busy day that we are about to have.

☾ ⋆*･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ:⠀ *⋆.*:･ﾟ .: ⋆*･ﾟ: .⋆

When Rex said that today was going to be busy, he meant it. Today is the day that we are planning on telling the pack that I am Rex's mate and for me to be officially brought into the pack. I have been running around with Becca and Owen, Rex's gamma's mate, they have been running around getting me ready while Rex, Alex, and Rex's gamma gets the stage and everything ready.

"So, I heard from Alex that you ran from your old pack?" Becca asks me to check to see if what she heard was true or not. I nod my head and look down at my hands that are on my lap.

"If you don't mind me asking, why did you run away. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to" Owen says and rushes out the end. I shake my head looking up at him, and I put a smile on my face, though it's a forced one, and I guessed they noticed cause they gave me a knowing look, and with just those one looks, I lost it. All the memories of what my old pack did to me came rushing back.

"Oh no," Becca says and runs over to me and wraps me up in a hug, Owen following not far after. After a couple of minutes, we pull apart, and they go back to what they were doing or trying to at least.

"I'm going to kill those bastards," Becca suddenly says, slamming her hand on the table that was next to her. Causing me and even Owen to jump in surprise.

"Sorry," Becca says, pulling a stool out from under the said table and sitting down on it.

"It wasn't as bad as you think it was," I say looking from Becca and back down to my hands that are playing with the hem of my shirt.

"If it wasn't that bad, then why did you cry?" Owen asks, walking up to me, crunching down, and grabbing my hand, causing me to look him in the face. I sigh and then look at Becca giving me a look telling me that she thinks the same thing. I sigh and look back down at my hands and start to tell them all about my experience with my old pack.

☾ ⋆*･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ:⠀ *⋆.*:･ﾟ .: ⋆*･ﾟ: .⋆

"It's not as bad as we thought but it is still bad, all the same," Becca says after I get done telling them my past with my old pack. Owen gets up and walks away and over to the table on the other side of the room, not saying anything to me or looking at me. I start to get nervous about what he thinks of me, and that he won't like me any more now that he knows my past with my old pack, but that disappears when he begins to speak.

"I agree with Becca, we're going to kill all of them," Owen says, turning around and looking me in the face. The look on his face lets me know that he isn't mad at me and still wants to be friends with me. When Becca hears what Owen says, she looks at me and nods her head vigorously letting me know that she agrees with him.

"But maybe after I have had this baby, cause I really want to be there and get some hits in, cause you are so precious that you do not deserve to be treated that way," Becca says pointing to her protruding stomach, causing both of us to laugh.

"We'll make sure you are there," I say while wiping the tears away from how hard I was laughing.

"Have you told Rex yet?" Owen asks, walking over and sitting down.

"I haven't really found a way to tell him, but I think he knows that something happened to me with my old pack, I just am waiting for the right time to tell him the whole thing, so he isn't misunderstanding anything, but I'm kind of scared to tell him also," I say looking down at my hands on my lap.

"There's nothing to be scared of, he will want to be with you no matter what, you tell him," Owen says, putting his hand on my back and rubbing it. I nod my head knowing that he is right and that there is nothing to be scared of, but there is still the little piece in the back of my mind that is saying that Rex will leave me and that I'll be all alone again.

We look towards the door when there is a knock on it and I mean that I haven't met before opening the door. I find out that it is Rex's gamma when Owen gets up with a smile and walks over to him and gives him a hug and kiss. I have a feeling that I should look away because I feel like this is a moment that I really shouldn't be looking at right now.

"Hi, we haven't been officially introduced, my name is Dennis, I'm Rex's gamma," Dennis says walking over to me and lowers his head, causing me to get flustered.

"Oh, you don't really have to do that, it makes me feel like I'm someone of great importance," I say with my hands up and shaking my head at him.

"Well you are of great importance, Luna," Dennis says, causing my eyes to widen even more than they were from when he was bowing to me.

"Oh, well, you also don't have to call me Luna, Rain is just fine," I say, looking at him and then to Becca and Owen and seeing the smiles that are on their faces.

"Well, you are Rex's gamma and even though I am going to be this packs Luna I am still a werewolf and an omega, so I would want to be treated just like I would to anyone else in the pack," I say and when Dennis raises his head, I think that I said something wrong and start to get scared.

"You are going to be a great Luna for this pack, and we couldn't have asked for anyone better," Dennis says with a smile on his face, causing one of happiness and relief to find its way onto my face as well.

"So, why are you here?" Becca asks Dennis, as she walks over to the chair and sits down.

"Oh yeah, are you ready? Rex said that it's time" Dennis says and I nod and get up and walk to the door with Owen, Becca, and Dennis following close behind me. When we get to the area in the forest that is close to the clearing, but far enough away that no one can see us, you can hear all the pack members talking to each other. Dennis says his goodbyes and walks over to where Rex is probably to tell him that I am here and that the meeting can get started.

"Hello, everyone I bet you're all wondering why I have asked you all to gather here today?" The clearing goes quiet as Rex gets up on stage with Alex and Dennis.

"It's time" I hear Becca whisper into my ear and push me forward a little. I take a deep breath and start to walk towards that makeshift stage when Rex looks at me and holds out his hand with a smile on his face.

"Time for my life to change."
