-MILA-I was waiting back in the cabin for Lobo when there was a knock on the door.Surprised, I went over to open it. Lewis was standing there with a smile."Hey, Lobo is having a few drinks, he sent me to ask if you would like to join him."I groaned, "No, I'm good with staying here.""I know it's all new to you, but it would be nice if you could join us. Get to know us a little better."I forced a smile, "Yeah, maybe later. I just want to have some time to myself right now."Lewis surprised me once again, this time by pushing his way into the cabin."Sure, come on in, then," I said sarcastically. Turning to face him I crossed my arms over my chest and watched him."Lewis, I don't mean to be nasty, but what are you doing here?"He turned to me with a broad smile, "I'm trying to make you feel welcome. Lobo has been good to me, and you're his mate so," he shrugged, "And I know the backstory of who you are."I nodded, "Yeah. Thank you, I appreciate it. I'm just getting used to everythi
-MILA-I woke up with the sun hitting my face from the open window. Lobo wasn't in bed.I got to my feet and walked around the cabin but he wasn't there either.He didn't even leave a note or a text to tell me where he was going and I wondered what he expected me to do to pass the time while he was off doing whatever it was he decided to do.I shoved my feet into a pair of slip-on and walked outside. Although I had forgotten about the snow, it wasn't that cold, it was definitely warmer than the previous night.I was still in my shorts and tank top with a light jacket pulled on."Hey, you're up!" Shauna called as she walked over to me."Yeah. Where is Lobo?""Oh, he's training with the others. Here," she shoved her hand into her pocket and produced a small bag, "I packed up some herbs to help with the transformation. You should start taking them right away.""Thank you," I took it and put it into my jacket pocket, "It's nice out here in the morning."Shauna nodded, "It is. It's a beaut
-MILA-I felt sick to my stomach and didn't bother waiting to see what happened next.I turned and marched my way down the little pathway toward the stoney area they were training on.I was aware of Shauna calling to me to wait but I wasn't listening.I was fuelled by a mix of anger and pain.I marched into the clearing with my hands swinging by my sides.Betty wasn't as close to Lobo now, and if I had paused I might have realized the look on her face.But my eyes were on Lobo.He turned and his eyes widened in surprise to see me walking angrily toward him."Baby, you're-""What the fuck was that?"His brows furrowed in confusion, "What? Lala, what are you talking about?"I realized all eyes were on me and forced myself to get it together.I raised a brow and pointed up to where I had been standing, "Shauna and I were watching the training session."His frown deepened but then realization dawned on him, "Oh.""Yeah, oh," I turned to Betty, "And as for you, who the hell do you think yo
-MILA-Walking out the cabin beside Lobo there was a heavy feeling of awkwardness hanging in the air.We had barely spoken after our conversation about love and I was left with a feeling of deep confusion.We walked into the clearing between the mountains and the trees, a little away from the cabins.The other members of the Pack were standing and I wondered what exactly would happen next.I knew that I had to accept to be his mate, but I was suddenly realizing that I didn't know what else to expect, and that worried me slightly.Lobo stepped up onto a large, smooth boulder and extended his hand out to me.He was shirtless, wearing some type of fur hung over his shoulders.I wore a long indigo dress provided by Shauna.I took his hand and climbed up beside him.To anyone looking in, no one would have realized that we were having any issues between us.He masked it well, no one would have guessed that we had such an awkward conversation only minutes earlier."I, Alpha Lobo of the Midni
-MILA-The Pack members were running around trying to put the fire out while I stood with wide eyes, frozen in shock at the events unfolding around me.Lobo frowned at me, "Get inside." And then he ran out toward the fire."Right then, run toward the fire, not away from it." I took a few steps backward, I wanted to help them, but I wasn't sure what I could possibly do.Everyone was rushing around and I knew I would only get in the way, which would only make it worse.It was like watching a scene from a movie, where everything was a complete jumble.It was horrifying, but slowly they were making progress.I sat down when the flames were beginning to disburse.The Pack members were calming, flocking around Lobo who was looking angry.I sighed and got to my feet, going over to Lobo and putting an arm around his waist.Tommy looked in my direction, "Where were you?"Shauna gave me a pointed look, "She was sitting down, watching us try and stop the fires."I looked away, feeling guilty abo
-MILA-My eyes felt heavy as I opened them. I blinked a couple of times to try and make sense of what was going on.My body was aching in all spots and I couldn't quite pinpoint one specific place where the pain was coming from.My head felt strange, heavy, and like there was pressure in my head.And then I realized that I was hanging upside down. In a car.Then I remembered what happened.I turned to Lobo, he was still hanging from the seat, and his head was bent at a strange angle against the roof of the car.Feeling for the seatbelt I pressed the release but for some reason, I couldn't get my hands to do what I wanted and it took a few tries before the click.The seatbelt released and I dropped painfully on my head, my neck immediately aching.It took a few tries but I managed to crawl out of the window of the car.My hands and knees crunched against the leaves and dirt as I crawled over a little from the car.My head hurt and when I reached for my forehead I could feel the crust o
-MILA-I screamed in terror when I looked up and saw a wolf standing on four legs.It was standing on the rocks staring at us,Lobo stared at it, "It's a normal wolf, nothing to worry about.""A normal, wild, and rabid wolf is nothing to worry about?""They sense what I am, they won't come near us."He walked over and helped me to my feet again."So, the fact that our things have been stolen shows that we were attacked. On purpose.""I figured." I held on to him as we walked, he held an arm around me as we walked through the forest."This is insanity. Can we not catch a break for even a second?""It would probably help if we didn't have a deranged serial killer after us. And a jealous younger brother.""We could seriously use a break. They could at least calm the hell down and wait until after I'm sure that I'm not going to die.""You aren't going to die, Mila.""Sorry, you must be so sick and tired of hearing me say that over and over again.""It's okay, I understand why you're worri
-MILA-I was walking out of the hospital room when Shauna approached me from out of nowhere.The doctors signed my release forms after keeping me under observation for twenty-four hours."Shauna? What are you doing here?""I'm here to see you. Lobo told me what happened, are you okay now?""That depends on what your definition of okay is. I'm in pain, lots of it," I glanced around the hospital, "Where is Lobo?""Oh, he mentioned that he was bringing the car around to the entrance. He said you were going to be staying at Lowell's for two nights?"I nodded, only slightly annoyed that Lobo told Shauna about it."Good luck with that, I can't imagine how awkward it will be.""Yeah. Did Lobo speak to you about the herbs?"She nodded, "Yes, everything I used is safe, the herbs can't be the reason you were in pain. Look." She pulled out a bag of herbs and stuffed some into her mouth.I glanced around, slightly worried that someone would see this and have questions, "Put that away, we're stand
