Chapter 1

Chapter 1

The last thing I remembered before I went unconscious was the fire. I could vaguely hear screams but my ears were ringing too much for me to pinpoint where they were coming from exactly. It was all around me. The fire was vivid. I also remembered that was the same fire that killed my entire family.

I saw that last haunting look in my mom's eyes as the light sucked from her eyes. She died trying to reach out to me. Then, I slipped into unconsciousness.

                   

 "I think she's waking up" I heard a voice say. I tried opening my eyes, but it felt as if the tissues in my eyelid were being torn apart by that simple action, so I just groaned instead. That must have alerted the people in the room with me.

 "Rose? Rose, can you hear me?" The same voice asked. I finally got control of my eyes and opened one slowly, it was very bright, almost white. When my eyes adapted to the light, I could see three people in front of me. Two men and a woman.

 "Yeah, I can" I can barely recognize my voice, cracky and raspy, like I hadn't had a cup of water in weeks.

"Great, I'm going to run some tests on you to make sure you're fine" The man had a white coat on, so he must be the doctor. I looked toward the other two people in the room, they were sitting together. They were looking at me with hope...?

I'm not sure I've seen them before though the woman seems kind of familiar. I nodded to the doctor, who went out and came back a few minutes later with some types of equipment and whatnot. During his absence, neither I nor the couple said anything to each other. The doctor took the tests, pronounced me fine, and said I could go home in a few days. Home? Where might that be for me now? The only home I know has been destroyed.

 "Thank you, Doctor. We'll come and pick her up when you discharge her". The man spoke up.

 "Excuse me", I said from where I was lying down " I don't know you. I can't go anywhere with you"

 "Oh, Rose" The woman walked over to my side and sat down beside my bed "I'm sorry we haven't met before this. I'm Melinda, your mother's sister. And Jack's my husband. We're the Alpha and Luna of the MoonBear pack. We heard about the unfortunate incident with your pack and we came as soon as we could, but we were too late to save anyone else but you. And since I'm the only living relative of either of your parents, I'm to take you as my ward, which I'm delighted to". She stroked my hair as she said this.

 "What day is this?" I had to know.

"It's Monday" She replied. That's three full days after the attack. I was with my family on Friday evening when we heard the warning howl. Though we were never ready, this attack took us by surprise and thus left us terribly at a disadvantage. Before we could access the situation, most of our pack has been killed off and it came down to my family. My mom, dad and I were faced by a pack of wolves, led by a silver wolf with a brown streak across his back. I knew that wolf anywhere. He was the Alpha of our rival pack, Kenneth Jones. He hates our family and always wants our territory for himself. We had managed to fend him and his pack off for a while but it isn't working tonight. My parents had the same realization at the same time as me and we all shifted into our wolf forms. Since they didn't come in human bodies, we have to fight them as wolves. Unfortunately, we were outnumbered. My parents were slashed by many of them, same as me, but they must have overlooked me and left me to die. Then they set our home on fire. I could only watch weakly as the fire spread.

I jolted out of my reverie to find a palm on my face, I didn't realize I had started crying and Melinda was wiping my tears.

She took me into her arms and allowed me to process my feelings. When I had collected myself, she disengaged from me and held my face in her palms.

 "I'm really sorry about your family. But, my family is now your family too. We'll make sure you lack nothing. I know we can't replace your parents but we'll try our best to do as much as they would have done". I nodded because I didn't trust myself to speak without sobbing. She hugged me one more time and then they left.

The doctor came back in to run more tests. And then I slept.

                      A WEEK LATER

I was discharged in the morning from the hospital and the doctor placed me on house rest even though I assured him I was fine several times. I was told not to train or do anything rigorous for at least two weeks. My inner wolf, Bessie, whined at that. She hates not being able to run and train, but, a doctor's order is a doctor's order.

 We're pulling up at the gate of my aunt's home now, and I must admit, it's quite beautiful. I'll try as much as possible to enjoy my time here. I'm not planning on staying forever. Once I turn 21 in 4 months, I plan on leaving, maybe to the human world, I don't know yet. A lot could happen in 4 months.

"Welcome home, honey" My aunt smiled at me as she looked at me taking in my surroundings. " Please do make yourself as comfortable as you need, the kids will join you soon but let me first show you to your room" The kids are her children. Four of them. Two of them are adopted, but the way she talks about all of her kids, you'd think she birthed them herself. I guess I'm part of the kids now.

I was shown to a room with pale cream walls. It was furnished just enough.

"I don't know your taste but I'll just let you do the rest of the decorating yourself. You can tell any of the help to assist you with it or you can come to me and I'll do what I can for you. Is that ok?" 

"Yes, Aunt. Thank you. I'll do that" I was grateful that at least, it looks like I might be in good hands.

 "The kids will be back soon and lunch will be ready in a while, so freshen up and I'll call you to come" She walked out the door and shut it behind her.  

I sat down on the bed and then fell on my back looking up at the ceiling. It has one of those murals that looks like you're looking somewhere else instead of the roof. After a moment of lying down like that, I stood up and went to the bathroom connected to the room to bath.

Within thirty minutes, I heard my aunt call up to me. "Food is ready, Rose"

 "Coming" I answered back. I'm sure she can hear me even though my voice is low as we wolves have an excellent hearing within a certain radius. I was well rested already so I just headed out to where I heard the sound of her voice come from.

I seem to be the last person to arrive. Around the table sat my aunt, her husband, and four kids. I guess it's just the immediate family here unlike with my parents, where almost all the high-ranking pack members are with us.

 "Come sit" A young girl who looks to be no more than 15 patted the empty seat next to her, between her and her brother. She seems to be the youngest. I sat down and was immediately bombarded with questions from the girl. She seems to be talkative of the family.

 "Are you ok?" " Do you need anything?" "Is the chair comfortable enough?" "Are you —"  She was interrupted by one of her brothers

"She's spent less than a day here and you're already going to send her packing with your questions. Back down, Jo" He then turned to me. " Sorry about that. I think she's just really excited to have a new sister being the only girl around"

 I smiled to show that I wasn't offended. " It's fine. I don't mind it" Jo beamed beside me.

My aunt spoke up. " Let me introduce you to everybody. You've met my husband, Jack. These are my kids. Beside you on your left there is Josephine, Jo, as we call her, my youngest, she's 15 and will annoy you to bits with her talks. On your right is her immediate older brother Jaden, 17. Directly across from you is John, 19. And beside him is my eldest, James, your age, only older than you by a few months". Wow, what's with all the J initials? Almost as if he read my mind, Jack spoke up " We wanted some form of orderliness"

 "Don't worry, you'll get used to it soon. Or we could wear name tags till you figure it out" The one across from me, John, joked. I relaxed a bit, they seem to like me. That's good. I wouldn't want to live somewhere where I'm not wanted.

As the food greatly diminished, I've heard stories about all of their childhoods, including the adoption of James and Jo. All of them except James were open to conversation. He was more of the sullen type. Barely talks and all that.

"Don't mind James, that's just how he is, nothing personal to you" Either my aunt and her husband read minds or they must be extremely observant. The person in question just looked up at me and slightly smiled. Not a smile technically, more of a grimace to show his family that he acknowledges that I'm here.

"So, Rose, are you excited?" I could tell that Jo has been waiting for a long time to ask me a question, one which I'm confused about.

"Excited about?" 

"Your mate bonding of course. Since you're younger than James by just a few months, and he's just had his, yours must be coming soon" Oh, I have forgotten about that. Once I'm 21, I'll be "assigned" a mate. I just hope I get a good one and not one of those idiots.

"Oh, I haven't quite thought about that yet" I answered Jo.

"What?! But it's like, the rest of your life. Whomever you're bonded with will be your partner forever" she looked like I have said something terrible.

"Yeah, I know. I'll give it more thought from now on". That seemed to appease her.

"So, since James has obviously had his, where is she? His mate?" I whispered my question to the girl beside me.

"Oh, he has. It's one of the reasons he's like this. His mate doesn't like him. Though she hasn't outright rejected him, this has made him extremely sad". The subject seems to be a touchy one.

"What will happen if she rejects him?" I had to ask.

"Well, I don't know exactly, but I've heard a bit from my parents and also from reading up on stuff like that. Apparently, you'll be in a great deal of pain for a long time and eventually die" Yikes. I hope my mate is someone who'd like me. I can't imagine that happening to me.

Since we were all done, I excused myself and went back to my room. I lay down and thought. My birthday is in 4 months, so that should give me enough time to get used to the idea that this is my life now. I really hope my mate will be someone cool that I can have my own family with.

With that last thought, I drifted off to dreamland.

Chapter 2
Living with this family for the past four months is one of the best things that has happened to me in a long while. It's been really fun and I've eased into their lifestyle and adapted to it.It was finally the day of my 21st birthday. Which also means the day I get to know my mate."Happy birthday" I knew Jo would be the first to wake me. She walked in holding a big cake followed closely by the rest of her siblings and Miranda, James's mate. She finally agreed to be with him after finding out what a great guy he is. Not without help from Jo and I by the way. It was just so heartbreaking to see James walk around like a depressed character from The Addams Family. They're the perfect couple now. I wish for that, other than the heartbreak part.I sat up on the bed as I was bombarded with gifts. They really spoil me rotten in this house."Guys, you didn't have to" Lies, they absolutely have to. I adore gifts."Nothing is too much for our big sister," John said as she handed me his gift. K

"You really should go with me," Jo tried to cajole me into going to the mall with her. Not like I wouldn't, but I'm extremely tired from the early morning and sometimes midnight runs that Bessie sometimes subjects us to despite knowing full well that I need my sleep too.“I'm sorry Jo, it's not like I don't want to, I'm just really tired right now." I tried to go back to sleep but she wouldn't have it. She pulled me back up from the bed."You can't sleep away your whole day," She whined."Actually, I can. Why don't you get Aunt Mel to go with you? Or one of the boys" I'm sure someone will be willing to go with her. "One of the boys?" She scoffed. "Yeah, right. Like they'd be caught dead going into a mall. And mom's busy, I already asked her. You're the only other female in this house. I'll need bits of advice when shopping.""Only other female? Wow, I didn't know Miranda is now trans. I must go see him, I'm sure he'll be heartbroken to learn that you've given away his secret of being

Chapter 4
Nate must have been in great pain too because the next day, we got a message which stated that we should meet. Though I was in pain too, we had not had the time to extend an invitation for us to meet. We headed for the Jones's home the next morning, the earlier we can get this over with, the better. As we drove over, I kept trying to communicate with Bessie, only to receive silence back, sometimes, I thought I could hear her whine but I knew it was false, she has gone completely silent on me. "Soon, Bessie. I promise I'll fix this. I'm sorry". This has become my mantra since yesterday. I am in pains but according to the elders, she is in worse pain.I must have been lost in thought because the next thing I remember is my aunt ushering me down from the car. I looked around and it occurred to me that during my time of begging and apologizing to Bessie, we had arrived at Nate's house. Scratch that, this is not a house, it is a bloody mansion. Trying my hardest not to gawk at the extreme

I looked at my aunt. It wasn't something I had not expected. The council had suggested it and I'm sure we would have suggested it if they hadn't mentioned it first. It just means that I will actually have to live with him. Although, this will actually help me with my plans. I straightened up in my seat and made to speak when my aunt beat me to it."We agree to your terms. But we have a few conditions of our own before they do" We had discussed this on her way here rather, my aunt and uncle had. I zoned out most of the conversation to speak with Bessie. I only heard snatches of the conversation so I have to listen extremely carefully now.Kenneth motioned for my aunt to continue speaking. My aunt looked at my uncle who nodded at her before she continued. " Most of our conditions are basic ground rules. One, nothing, and absolutely nothing must happen to Rose thr

Looking at myself in the mirror in this ridiculously beautiful bridal gown is making me nauseous. It's not like I don't like the gown, I love it, but the idea of wearing such a beautiful creation for something that's not even real is making me annoyed. We've been shopping for six hours already, and we've gotten every other thing with the gown as the last stop. After trying on four previous gowns, we finally found "the one". I don't even know why we bothered with it, but knowing Nate's family, they'd plan something fancy, so the jeans and top are definitely out of the equation. After so much squealing and sniffing, we paid for the gown and we went back home. I guess I am a little excited about getting married even if it's someone I do not love.  We got home to meet the full house. During the time of our shopping, the Joneses sent

Chapter 7
I was jarred out of my sleep by an alarm I am pretty certain I didn't set, must be the work of Jo or my aunt. I looked at the time, 4 am. Ok, I'm definitely going to kill Jo. My suspicions were confirmed when she peeped sheepishly from my door before barreling in. How anyone could have so much energy at the ungodly hour is something I cannot comprehend. "Is there any reason why I should be awake by this inhumane hour?" I asked, clearly annoyed. It's not like I was looking forward to this day, but getting woken up is adding to my long list of reasons to be grumpy for the rest of the day. "First off, you're not human so this isn't inhumane" I made her say something when she stopped me, and before you say it's a metaphor or whatever, I know. Secondly, it's your wedding day, and

Chapter 8
I woke up extremely rested. The sun was already filtering through the windows when I finally stood up from the bed. I went to shower and get dressed and went down for breakfast.  Harriet already prepared breakfast when I got to the dining room and the table was loaded with several dishes. My mouth was already watering as I set to go to the table. I almost didn't see Nate until I bumped into him where he was seated. "I know you don't get to eat good food frequently but you didn't have to show your gluttony by nearly killing me to get to the food" He smirked as he righted himself. I'm going to strangle this guy. But not now, I'm not going to let anyone, however annoying they may be, get in the way of my good mood this morning and stop me from eating that delicious-looking

Chapter 9
Glancing at the clock, I saw that it was still late afternoon. Harriet has left a note saying that she was out grocery shopping and will be back in time to serve dinner and that she's left me some food from lunch if I want it.  I wasn't hungry, so I just took water from the freezer and headed to the movie room. Might as well do something to pass the time. To get to the movie room from the kitchen, I'd have to pass by Nate's office. He must still be there because I heard faint sounds coming from the room. He must be on a call. I quietly left but turned back when I smelled something different. There's someone else in there. I opened the door and saw Nate locked in what looked like the middle of sex with another woman. I looked at her and recognized who she was. She was the same person he had his hands around when I first saw him a

Chapter 10
I heard the knock and checked my phone. A few minutes to 7 am. I must have fallen asleep after I came back up yesterday. Then I heard the knock again. I picked up my robe and opened the door. "Good morning. I left you to sleep as long as I could, but Mr Jones insisted I wake you up to start preparing, stating that he had told you to wake up early enough previously". Jerry said, standing outside the door with a bag of supplies. "Good morning to you too, Jerry. Please come in." I made way for Jerry to pass into the room. I knew Nate was in the house. I could smell his presence. "He also told me to tell you that you'll be leaving by 10 am, which gives us about 3 hours to get you ready," He said as he started to set up whatever he needed.
