I couldn't sleep well that night. My possible death always bombarded my mind. They will kill me and I don't know when. Time is unpredictable. Who knows what happens?

Lawrence let me stay inside our room while he searches for the rogues with his trackers and fighters. I forgot to mention that Leo is actually the Beta of this pack. Well, I never asked though and I knew I had to know who is who around here. Silly me.

I'm the Luna here but my existence will bring forth thousands of casualties. I am a child that was never intended to be raised into this world. My father was a rogue and my mother was not. They both share the same love but in an unforgivable time. Their love is truly dangerous and it took them extreme measures just so I can stay alive.

Depressed, I ran my fingers through my hair. I'm hungry right now. I could use a sandwich at this late hour. It's already nine in the evening and Lawrence promised to be back around nine-thirty. I hope they are doing fine with their search.

I couldn't tell dad about my state right now. He would freak out. And I can't take the risk of going to him knowing that rogues might follow. Lawrence sent bodyguards for dad in secret and since dad is human—he couldn't sense their presences.

Going down, I notice that I am all alone in here but I know there are some wolves guarding around the house. I can sense them outside the walls.

I grab two pieces of bread, one tomato, one lettuce, mayonnaise, and other ingredients. In just five bites, I managed to finish the whole sandwich. I quickly chugged down a glass of water because I feel the lettuce stuck on my throat. I sigh in satisfaction because my craving was satisfied.

I decided to go watch some tv shows while waiting for Lawrence. I turned the television on and it showed 'Asia's Next Top Model' on Star Channel. I always wished to try modeling but I know I can't do it. I'm not that showy but I can be when the situation demands it. What also know of myself is that I don't complain. I don't know why. I just don't complain. I just like taking risks and trying something new.

About 20 minutes later or so, I hear the main door opened. I quickly divert my attention from the show and saw Lawrence entering. My wolf leaped in joy inside. I really missed him since this morning.

He turned to look at me and gave me a warm smile. I stood up from the sofa and went to hug him so tight. I can feel the longing sensation around us. He also missed me that much because I can tell by the mate bond and by how he hugged me so tightly. He rested his face on the crook of my neck and inhaled my scent deeply. How I missed him so bad.

"I missed you." He says and leaves a light kiss on my neck, "I almost died knowing I'm away from you."

"But you've only been gone for hours."

"It felt like years." I feel his fangs slowly tapping on the sensitive spot of my neck.

He carried me bridal style and I just giggled. He softly lays me on the couch as he is on top of me. He caresses my cheek, gives me a soft sigh, and places his face on my neck again. I just caress his head and letting my fingers run through his soft hair.

I felt his fangs again trying to mark my neck softly. I sense a bit of hesitation.

"Do it.." I told him softly, "it's okay.."

"I don't want to hurt you." He mutters while his face is still on my neck.

"I'm yours and you're mine." When I said all those words, I know I really meant it. I'm not afraid if he will hurt me. He will only hurt me if it's all about love—marking, away from me because he needs to, reasons, and many more—things that hurt me but are made out of love at the same time because it is for my own good.

I feel his fangs dug into my neck and I let out a slight wince of pain but I told him to never stop. I want to be marked by him. I want our bond to be stronger.

I accidentally yelp loudly when his fangs dug deeper and my grip on his hair became tighter than usual. He mind-links me that it's almost done and I just replied an okay.

A few seconds later, I feel his fangs withdrawing from my neck slowly. I didn't notice that I have already cried due to the pain. Lawrence wiped these tears away and he kissed my forehead.

"It's done.." I happily smile at him, "I'm all yours.."

"You were always mine—with our without that mark." He kissed the spot where he marked and it sent an unexplainable pleasure through my body.

Oh no, there is another problem.

"What's wrong, Claire?" He notices my face turning white.

"Well since you already marked me.. Will the heat be that intense?" I asked him bluntly. I can't help it. I'm just like that.

He just stared at me in silence.

"I can't mate you at this age. I can wait but you can't."

"And what is that supposed to mean, mister?" I raise my eyebrow

"You already know what. Your heat." He kisses me lightly on the lips.

What if..

"What if I turn sixteen? Can you mate me by then?" I ask him and he just coughed intensely and pulls away from me. I sat up and looked at him with a raised eyebrow again, "what?"

"You.. You sure are something.." His face heated up. Oh, did I ask bluntly again?

"But can you mate me by then?" I ask him again and he just looks at me with a surprised reaction, "it's okay even if I still didn't reach the age of eighteen. I'm a wolf, remember?"

He just chuckles and pushes me lightly on the sofa again but this time he is giving me light kisses over and over again. When I try saying something, he just kisses me.

"Come on, let me say something!" I just pouted and he slowly licks my lips, "what the!"

"I don't care if I have to wait for years so don't push yourself." He rests his face on my chest.

"But I am not." To be frank, my hormones are driving me crazy and I don't know when my heat will come. Maybe it will unexpectedly arrive at my birthday or when I reach the age of sixteen.

My birthday will be in a few weeks by now and I didn't remember because of the chaos we are or were in.

"But I can't wait to actually see little Lawrences and Claires." I can feel Lawrence smirking and I just slapped his shoulder playfully.

"Stupid!" I just laughed and he kissed me again.

"Yeah, ever since I met you." He rests his forehead on mine, "I'll make sure you are always beside me.."

I just engulfed myself with this moment. Both of our eyes are closed and our breathing is steady.

"Promise me.. Don't ever leave me. I'll die.. I can't live without you.."

"I'll never leave you.. I swear.."

"You are my everything.." He opens my eyes and I open mine as well—we are both staring deep into each other.

"And you are my everything." I smile and I notice him kissing me slowly and softly.

Lawrence is everything to me. I really love him. I can't imagine my life without him.

Even if I have to die just for him, I'll gladly do it.

That's how much I love.

That's how much I'd go that far for him.
