"Thank you" I mouth to him. We both turn to Luna and thank her for her kindness. "Ansel, can i have a moment alone with Luna, please?" I ask. He nods and enters the room, closing the door, leaving us in the hallway alone. "I know you won't talk specifics now... all things considered, but can i bring Ansel tonight? Or does it need to be just me?" I ask her, looking around as if someone may overhear, eventhough I know no one could be up here.
She smiles and says "You may bring him, IF you think you can trust him, he is your Amore, so there should be no secrets between you. However... Since you are not marked yet, either of you could still reject the other and break the amore link. Just... Keep that in mind. I will bring up your dinner, and enough groceries for the next few days, in about an hour.
"Thank you for everything Luna, see you in a little while."Luna walks away as I enter the code, and open the door.
I walk in, looking for Ansel. The liv
Ansel takes a deep breath before he answers "Well, my pack was very different when I was young, we mostly kept to ourselves. My grandfather HATED witches, so it was against pack law to work with one, they were not allowed on pack lands, if caught they were put to death. Other than that, we were very much like you, or at least, like what I have seen of your pack so far. We have a large mansion that was built in the 1950's where the ranked members live and work. We house the newly paired in what humans would call a guest house. It is basically 9 one bedroom apartments, once the newness wears off, we move them to either the pack house, or one of the 3 apartment buildings on pack lands. We also own 2 other apartment buildings which we rent out to humans as a source of pack income..." He stops taking when he hears the front door open. He is on his feet, growling, and out the door so fast i don't have time to warn him that it is just the Luna with our food.I can hear them ch
"Okay" I start "Here is the plan... We only have another 2 days worth of research here anyway, after that there is nothing else we can do here but wait for Ri'elle to return anyways... So, we can go to your pack then. I will go with you, and we should bring Micheal and Peter too, since we aren't sure what we are walking into... We can say that my father is over protective and sent me with a guard, I can go to your Alpha and ask permission to check their libraries... How much information we give, and t whom can be up to you, since you know them, and I don't... Either way, we can see what the climate is like in you pack... If it is not safe, or if your father has named someonbe else with Alpha blood as the alpha then we leave. If you go rogue before you mark me, then you would automaticaly become a part of this pack... Of course if it IS safe then we stay. And if we have to fight for the safety of your pack then we will do what needs done... Deal?""Wait... You mean, you are ac
Ansel sets up the TV, logging into netflix, then he turns to me and asks "What would you like to watch?" I take a moment to think about it anf then I say "Can we watch Supernatural? I don't know if you like that kind of thing but it's my favorite, and i could really use something comforting." He chuckles and tells me that he has never seen supernatural. "But i would be glad to watch it with you. Lets start it at the begining, that way we can watch the whole thing together... I want to share everything that you love, just as I want to share everything that I love with you... And in that way, we can be closer together..."He sounds so wise when he says things like this.I smile at him, and pat the seat on the couch next to me.Ansel joins me on the couch, and we watch the first few episodes of supernatural. I can tell that he fell in love with the show right away.While we watch I pull my feet up onto the couch and lean into Ansel's side.&
My stomach tightens with guilt at the look in his eyes. I want to tell him that i am sorry, but I don't get the chance. Suddenly his mouth is on mine, fierly hot and dominating. This is the first time that he has initiated physical contact, and the first time that he seems to be trying to show his dominance. As a future Alpha, I was expecting him to show this dominance at some point, but this is not exactly what i had in mind.I can feel the tears streaming down his face as he kisses me.I made him cry, the though alone is breaking my heart, and making me feel about 2 inches tall.I turn my head out of the kiss and say "Let me go." I a weak voice. He obeys, like I knew he would. He releases my hands, rises to his feet, and moves away from me, looking broken.I stand to my feet, and approach him slowly. "Please don't move." I whisper. I reach up and gently wipe his tears away with my thumbs. I take a step closer and lay my head against hi
"I understand... And that decides it for me. After we talk to Luna tonight we are leaving. First thing tomorrow morning we can talk to the guys, ask them to come with us. We can probably leave tomorrow afternoon... I would rather travel by night, we can sleep during the day. I think that would put us outside your pack territory the middle of the second night... Now, don't take this the wrong way, but i think we whould stay outside the pack, and watch for a day. I want to be sure what we are walking into, we should approach in daylight, IF it is safe." I say to him.He nods, thinking, then he breaks into a huge smile, turns me around and kisses me full on the mouth. "You make me so happy. I was not sure how serious you were about coming with me, I hated the thought of leaving you, but I also feel like I MUST go to my pack. I am so glad you want to stay with me my Inamorata." He says, while holding me.'Of course, unless you give me good reason, I intend to stay with you
I already know about the gifts. So i skip ahead, looking for something I don't know yet. I see a pasage about hunters and now I am interested...Hunters: Hearing and sight 2 times that of an average human. Their smell is about that of an average human. While any human could have a grudge against supernatural creatures, and start hunting them. However those 'hunters' would just be average humans. True hunters are born of a specific bloodline.The origins of the hunters is not proven, but the story goes that the first werewolf to be mated to a human was an Alpha. His pack refused to acknowledge her as their Luna, instead they killed her. When the Alpha found her body he went into a rage. He took their 5 sons and went to a powerful witch. This witch granted them the power to track werewolves. All hunters now have the ability to track werewolves, they can track the aura or a werewolf, and sense that a werewolf has passed an area as long as a week later.
We return to our room, and the moment that the door shuts, and I lock it, Ansel's whole body relaxes. Like all the tension drains from him. I hadn't noticed how stressed and tense he was. But he is very relaxed here, where we are alone, with a locked door between us and our enemies.I slip off my shoes, and walk up to nuzzle my face into Ansels face. I place my hands on his hips as he wraps his arm around me, pulling me tight against him. When his grip loosens I let out a low growl, he chuckles and replaces his hold around me."I feel like everyone knows something we don't... Either they are hiding something, or.. I don't know, I just don't like this." I say into hi chest."I know love, I feel the same way. People are hiding things, and I don't know why. They aren't my people so I don't know how they normally act... But I do hope that if they are hiding things from us... I just hope its not something that will harm you." Ansel says.He l
I lead them into the dining area off the kitchen, and we all sit down around the table."You both know about the curse that was put on me, separating me from my wolf..." I say, jumping straight into it.They both nod their heads, and I continue. "Well, Me and Ansel had decided to look through the library here to try and find out as much as we could about the curse, or curses in general. And then we planned to go to Ansel's pack and look through the library there but... Well, Ansel had been away at college, and boarding school before that. so he has been away from his pack for a long time, and in that time he has been hearing an awful lot of rumors from pack members gone rogue.." I pause, glancing over at Ansel, who nods for me to go ahead. "These rumors do not paint a pretty picture of the kinds of changes that have been happening. My plan IS to still go to his pack... But, I was hoping the two of you would come with me." I say. Pausing again for a reaction
