Mary’s pov

Last night had to be one of my top 3 nights ever. After a delicious dinner of the best bacon cheeseburger, fries with gravy, chocolate milkshake and apple crumble dessert, I helped flora (the old lady told me her mother was a lover of flowers hence the name). We cleaned up the diner, she introduced me to the cook (her nephew) Phil, a 48 year old man who came to work at the family run diner straight out of high school and never left. Flora found me some clothes that fit reasonably well and once I was changed she took all my dirty clothes (my whole 3 outfits) and washed them for me while showing me how to operate the machine so I could do it myself next time. She then showed me how to work the dishwasher, and the milkshake machine.

The “dinner crowd” came in ( maybe 10 people, mostly older couples), and I helped flora take orders and deliver orders to the tables. By the end of the night I was tired, but flying high having met so many people, and learned so many new things.

    Damon’s pov“How can no one find her? What did she do vanish off the face of the planet?” I rant loudly while pacing in my office.“Boss, we have so many people out looking, too many really.” Greg grumbles.“It has been 3 months, and no sign of her? And you want me to believe they are really looking?” Zed lets out a loud growl in frustration. “We have scouts posted night and day outside the shelter she was last at in case she comes back, we have young ones pretending to be homeless, searching all the other area shelters. We have all our pack looking out for her even though doing so leaves our boundaries weakened. I am not sure what else you want us to do.” Greg says firmly.I know he is right, well the sane part of my brain knows it, but it doesn’t matter..”you can find her!” I rage and clear the papers off my desk with one arm. Greg shakes his head and walks out knowing there is no reasoning with me right now.“Cousin, your beta is not wrong.” My closest cousin Annabeth says calmly

    Mary’s povIt’s been 6 months since the incident in the alley.As much as it scared me, it also led me here. The last few months have been the best of my life. I really have a home here. The people of this small town have welcomed me with open arms and I have slowly made the bunkhouse my home. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t make a fortune working here, but free room and board, a small salary and I get to keep my tips now that I have gotten good enough to serve tables by myself.Flora and Phil have been so good to me, they never press to much about my past and have taught me how to earn my own way. Tomorrow Phil is taking me into the city with him to get the supplies for the next week. I am excited to take the opportunity to buy some new clothes out of the money I have been saving. I also want to get flora something to say thanks.I follow the last customer of the night to the door, and once they leave I lock the door and turn off the open sign.“Hey kiddo, help me clean up would ya?” P

    Damon’s povI found her. I can’t believe it. Her I was shopping for a birthday gift for my beta and boom there she is. My first instinct is to run up to her, but then I remember she ran away from me last time. I need to come up with a plan so I don’t lose her again. Suddenly she whips her head around and I barely have time to duck behind a display in the store so she doesn’t see me.“Damn it, that was close.” I mumble.I take out my phone and carefully peek back out around to where she stands. I take a picture of her. It’s only a side view from where I stand but better than nothing. I call my beta. “Greg,” I whisper when he answers “ she’s here, I found her. At the mall, get over here right now. We have to see where she goes and we can’t lose her again.” “Boss? Why you whispering? I can hardly hear you.” Greg responds. “Get over her now, I found her.” I say a bit louder. “Okay boss on my way…. Where are you?” Greg says. I can hear the sound of him grabbing his keys as he rushes

    Damon’s povIt has been two months since I found her. I know I need to figure out the best way to approach her. I don’t want to scare her off. “Clearly she hasn’t turned 18 yet or else her wolf would have appeared.” I am speaking more to myself but Greg feels obliged to chime in.“Or boss, maybe she doesn’t have a wolf… maybe she isn’t one of us.” “You think I don’t know my own mate?” I rage. “That’s not what I am saying Dam and you know it. Sometimes the goddess picks others for us… you know, like that guy Stan who was mated to a vampire! A vamp of all things ugh.” Greg shivered in disgust.“That may be so, but she has a wolf, zed could feel it.” I try to calm myself, I need to think.“So what’s the plan then, we can’t sit here forever waiting for her to figure out who and what she is. For all we know that could be months or years from now….. I mean she looks 18 but who knows these days.” Greg is especially whiny today.“Well from watching her we have learned things my friend.” I e

    Mary’s povIt has taken some time for me to breathe again.When we first got back to the diner after the incident at the mall, I was terrified that the man would find me. I constantly felt like someone was watching me, okay I still feel that but, since I haven’t seen anyone, I can only assume it’s in my head. I haven’t gone back to the city since, opting to stay away from anything that would cause me to run into him.I don’t know what is wrong with me, every time I sleep I dream of him… but it is not a nightmare, for some reason I feel drawn to him. Crazy I know, the man is a killer! How could I be drawn to someone like that? Over the last few weeks I have felt weird and that has taken over my attention and distracted me from my worries about the man. It started about two weeks ago, I woke up in the middle of the night because I heard someone in my house. I searched everywhere but couldn’t find anyone or any evidence anyone had been in my house, but I swear there was someone… the n

    Damon walks around to the back of the diner and sees Mary standing there nervously waiting.“Hi.”he says softly, trying to put her at ease.“Hi,” Mary returns “come inside and you can say what you need to say and leave okay?”Damon follows her into the little house out back. Mary closes the door and leans against it. Damon can tell it is taking all of her courage not to bolt through the door. “Okay,” Damon says sitting on a chair at the little kitchens table. “Where to start.”“At the beginning is usually a good place..” Mary blurts. Damon chuckles… she is firey. “Yes the start… okay for starters let me say I would never, ever harm a single hair on your head so you have nothing to fear from me.”“So you just kill and make other people, but it’s okay because you won’t hurt me? Is that really what you want me to believe?” She snorts and shakes her head.“Kind of.. well no…I mean… I was trying to protect you that’s all..” Damon stammered trying to find the right words…. This had been

    Mary brings the two cups of tea to the table and sits down across from Damon. “Okay, I am going to tell you the truth, but I need you to please, please listen to the whole story and try your absolute hardest to keep an open mind.” Damon says looking Mary in the eyes trying to get a read on what she’s thinking.Mary nods her head in agreement. “Okay, go ahead.” “I wasn’t lying when I said I turned into a wolf… I do. It”s not like you think though. My wolf is always wake inside me and sometimes I let him come forth. The night those guys were after you, I honestly just wanted to protect you… I only reacted when they attacked. If they had of just run away I would never have hurt them. There are rules, and wolves are not allowed to attack humans… I could get my pack in massive trouble if I did that.”“Your pack?”Mary interrupted “ so there are more of you?”“Yes my pack, and yes there are many more like me… there are many packs.

    Mary came to and found herself lying on her bed.“Take it slow” Damon said softly “you almost hit your head.” Mary looked at Damon. ‘He looks confused!, what does he have to be confused about?’ She thought.“What? Why do you look confused? Excuse me if I haven’t seen men turn into wolves before, excuse me for not knowing that there are things out there that look human but are actually animals in disguise. How in the heck was I supposed know that?” Mary huffed angrily.Damon tilted his head slightly,” not just wolves you know.” “What? Why do you mean not just wolves? What else is there?” Mary looked at Damon as though he was truly insane.“Well vampires, witches, warlocks and elves… mind you most of them are almost extinct except for those damn vampires… those ones just multiply quicker than we can exterminate them.”Mary laughed and laughed. “Oh and my fairy-godmother is going to swoop in and turn me into a princess to right?” She shook her head… ‘he really must be crazy” she thought

  • Most unlikely mate    First night

    After dinner Damon led Mary out of the dining room. They went down the hall to his office. Once inside Damon shut the door. He walked over to where Mary was standing and took her face in his hands. He tilted her face up and leaned down and kissed her. It was Mary’s first real kiss. It took the breath right out of her. His lips were soft yet firm, and sweet. He slid his tongue into her mouth and she nervously kissed him back. She felt fireworks going off all over her body as he pulled her closer to him. She put her arms around his neck and grabbed a handful of his beautiful hair.‘What am I doing? I barely know him?’ She thought briefly. Her desire to be near him and be touched by him won out over any reservations she had. Damon broke the kiss and began kissing her neck making Mary moan. He gently bit her neck right above her collarbone. “That is where is will mark you” he growled making Mary wet between her legs. She was floored by her body’s reaction to this man. She had never felt

    The dining room was enormous. It was more like a ballroom or large restaurant than a regular dining room. Damon led Mary to the front of the room where there was a long table that overlooked the rest of the room. Damon and Mary sat at the middle of the table. A few minutes later Greg came in and sat beside Damon. Mary watched as people slowed came in and sat down at tables. Some of the faces looked familiar from the meeting a short while ago, some were new faces. People spoke among themselves and some greeted each other upon arrival. This was truly a close knit community and Mary was equally impressed and nervous. How was she going to fit in with people who have known each other their whole lives. Damon silently reached over and held Mary’s hand. Mary laughed to herself remembering that he could feel her nervousness. She looked at him as he spoke to Greg. He was a beautiful man. His strong features, his thick rich perfect hair. Skin looked smooth and soft. She couldn’t believe som

    As they enter the double doors of the hall Damon looks at Mary. “You ready to meet the pack?”“Meet the pack? Now?” Mary asked nervously.“It will be fine, I will be with you the whole time.” Damon took Mary’s hand and led her into a large room full of people.They walked hand in hand up to the front of the room, climbed the few steps to the stage and went to the center of the stage. “Good day, goddess bless you.” Damon said calmly and kindly.“Goddess be with you.” The pack returned in unison.“I want to introduce you to my mate, your future Luna, Mary.” Damon said with pride pulling Mary as close to him as he could. Mary looked around the room. Some people were smiling and Mary could feel their instant acceptance of her…. But there were a few who did not seem at all happy with her presence beside the alpha. A few of them radiated anger and if looks could kill Mary would be dead. Mary swallowed hard and mustered as much courage as she could. •Hi everyone, nice to meet you.” She sa

    Damon leads Mary out the front door and they turn right. They follow a beautifully landscaped pathway which leads them to a street. Mary looks up and down the street and sees beautiful homes all well maintained… “not one is overgrown or run down!” Mary marvels.“We pride ourselves on ensuring our home is welcoming, clean and maintained. Littering is unacceptable and letting your house fall into disrepair is as well. We are a community and if one needs help with upkeep or repair all they have to do is ask, so there is no excuse for letting things go.” Damon says this with such pride and love, Mary can see and feel his love for his community and people. Her respect for him grows more and more.As they walk down the street passing homes, they pass by people that love in the community. Damon introduces them as they go, but Mary knows she will never remember all the names. “Don’t worry little love,” Damon whispers to her “the names will come with time, no one expects you to remember them

    After Mary”s things were all put away she followed Sarah down stairs. The house was so big it was more like a palace. As they walked down the stairs Sarah pointed out where her room was.“If you need me anytime, you just come knock on my door ok? Sarah said kindly.Mary nodded her head happy to have a friend. And she could feel it. Sarah truly wanted to be her friend. Mary felt like she was walking on clouds she was so excited.They continued down to the main floor where Sarah took Mary down a hallway. They passed set of double doors that Sarah explained housed the library. They passed a glass wall where she could clearly see an enormous gym on the other side of the glass. There were lots of people in there so Mary quickly walked by trying not to attract any attention.They then came up to a door near the end of the hall. Sarah knocked on the door and then opened it.“Alpha, we are here.” Sarah said loudly.What does she mean alpha? What the heck is an alpha? Mary thought to herself.

    Greg drove for what felt like hours. Mary stared out the window trying to keep track of exactly what roads they took, just in case.Damon watched Mary spellbound.“You are gonna love the pack.” Greg offered. He smiled in the rear view mirror. Mary looked and briefly smiled back. She didn’t know what to think or say. Her head was spinning and going a million miles at a time. ‘What am I doing? Why am I agreeing to this? Am I crazy? I don’t even know these people…they could be serial killers for all I know, and here I am willingly getting in a car with them, packing up my only home and leaving with them!’Greg finally turns a corner and heads down a long driveway. “We are here.” Damon says calmly. Mary watches as they pull up to the biggest house she has ever seen. As soon as the car stops the door is opened by a young girl. “Welcome home alpha, beta.” The girl says happily. She looks at Mary and smiles. “Hi! My name is Sarah. Welcome to the pack. Can I show you to your room?” Sarah

    “I will come with you, but I have to leave flora and Phil a note at very least. I owe them that much and more for everything they have done for me.” Mary says to Damon.“You write them a note and pack your things. I will call the pack house and have a room made up for you. Greg is waiting in the car I will get him and he can help load your stuff in the trunk.” Damon smiles and puts his hand on Mary’s shoulder.“Pack my stuff? But I can’t just leave for good…this is my home.” Mary feels panic setting in at the thought of abandoning the wonderful people who took her in and treated her so well.“Love, I know you feel like you owe these people, and maybe you do, but I promise you, when you first turn it is going to be painful and you do not want them around for that. You are doing them a favour. Once you adjust, if you want to come back, it will be up to you, but I promise you, I will make sure they have help and won’t hurt for money for all they have done for my mate.”Mary knew he was b
