Evangeline's POV

I never thought there would come a day when I would see my body crystal clear. Not a single scar or bruise.

My body, the body that was treated badly for the past ten years, cut, burned, hit and other things you would never imagine had no traces of anything. I felt like I was just born.

I gasped at the sight in front of me. I didn't know what to feel. Happy? Confused? In shock? It was unbelievable.

I can't say of course that I hate it, on the contrary I'm a bit relieved cause if I was really Logan's mate like he claims, I wouldn't want him to have to live with an ugly, scarred mate such as myself.

Thinking again, my face is still the same. I'm still ugly. I don't know why Logan didn't reject me till now, if I really was his mate.

I was cut short from my thoughts when I heard Logan talk. "How did this happen?" He asked Alexis, confusion lacing his words.

Alexis smiled at him and said, "The cure was in the shower gel. I added a mixture of my magical herbs. These herbs are known for their beneficial uses to the skin. I added a few things though." She said, furrowing her eyebrows at the last part before continuing. "Anyways, after finishing the mixture I tested for its efficiency and safety then gave it to you to add it to her water." She finished, her face breaking into a grin, obviously proud of herself that her potion worked.

"Eva, baby, how are you feeling?" I heard Logan ask from beside me. I turned to look at him, his beautiful grey eyes holding so much love and care, again, something I never experienced before.

Part of me thought that if Logan was m mate he was supposed to love me for who I am and not for how I looked, but the other part didn't want to place such thing over his shoulder.

I nodded my head his way then averted my gaze back at my body. Another wave of embarrassment filled my body when my attention was caught again that I was practically naked in front of Logan. I reached for the comforter to try and cover myself up.

Logan must've noticed my discomfort as he helped me pull the comforter and cover my whole body, keeping only my head displayed. My face was probably a dark shade of red by now. I didn't dare look at him from the embarrassment.

"Uhmm...I think I should go now. C-can I go alpha?" I heard Alexis ask hesitantly.

"Logan." Logan corrected her, giving her a small smile. She smiled back at him and nodded.

"Uhmm...can I?" She asked again to which Logan just nodded his head at her.

"Yeah, you can go."

Alexis made her way to the door but turned around to face us again before she leaves. "Before I forget, the stuff I brought....shall I bring them to you or...."

"Oh! Yeah....get them." Logan said. Alexis nodded and made her way out of the room, shutting the door behind her.

I felt Logan turn his body, his eyes averted to my own. I didn't get the chance to really concentrate into his eyes before. Last time it was dark and I was frightened out of my mind.

His greyish-greenish orbs looked back at me. I realised there were specks of golden in them. I didn't realise I was staring into his eyes until my body was shook and my name was being called.

"Eva!" I heard Logan call again. His voice sounded worried. I quickly snapped out of my daze and averted my eyes from him, my face, yet again, turning red.

"Eva, are you okay? Are you not feeling well?" Logan asked from beside me.

I nodded my head. "Y-yeah."

I heard him sight in relief. "Thank god. I thought something happened to you. You kind of just floated away." Now it was my turn to sight in relief. Thank god he didn't realise that I was actually staring at him..more like checking his eyes out. I smiled inwards sheepishly at myself. His eyes really were mesmerising, how can someone just not stare?

"Wait here. I'll go get you something to wear from my closet." His voice snapped me out of my thoughts, and my gaze was averted back to his, a smiled displayed across his face.

He got up and made his way to the third door, which I correctly assumed that it was a walk-in closet. He disappeared for a couple of minutes before he came back with what looked like a pair of sweatpants and a jumper.

He came over to my side of the bed smiling widely, and extended his free hand for me to take. I slowly placed my hand in his which made his smile widen even more, if that was possible.

He helped me to my feet. I held tighter onto my towel so it won't drop and reveal my naked body.

A knock from the door made both our heads snap to it. Uncontrollably, my body tensed, causing Logan to embrace me tightly and run his fingers through my hair soothingly.

I, on the other hand, relaxed my body and stuffed my face into his shirt, my hands clutching onto it.

"Come in." I heard Logan say. My back was towards the door so I didn't see who came in.

"Logan, these are the things I bought. I'll just place them here." I heard a fimiliar voice say.

"Okay Alexis. Thank you." Logan replied, confirming my doubts about who it was. I heard the door shut. Logan pulled away slightly, probably to look at me. He flashed me one of his smiles.

"I'll go get them." He said and pulled away completely, making his way to the shopping bags Alexis just brought. In a matter of seconds he was in front of me again, the bags in his hands.

We made our way to the bathroom. Logan left, closing the door behind him. I quickly locked the door after him. I checked the shopping bags and found that they all contained lingerie, a lot if I may say.

Taking my time to choose which one I would wear, since there were a lot to choose from. I finally chose a simple one with matching underwear, tossing aside the lacy and inappropriate ones.

I then put on the clothes Logan gave me and looked at myself in the mirror.

Deciding that my hair was by far the worst mess of hay, I started brushing it, untangling the knots. Since I didn't have any hair bands, I kept it loose.

Looking again, I realised that my hair actually seemed more alive than it did a few weeks ago. It was no more a pale shade of black, instead, it actually had a small shine to it. My face too, lost its paleness, not completely, but still better than before. My cheeks even had a tint of pink to them. And finally, the eyes staring right back at me, weren't dead like they were used to be. Their blue was more prominent and glowy.

A smile crossed my face. Maybe this was it. Maybe that was my ray of hope in life. Being her with Logan after so many years of torture might really be the rain to my drought.

I was brought back to reality when Logan's voice came from behind the door, followed by a knock. "Eva, you okay in there baby?"

Another smile stretched across my face. Even thought I'm not sure whether I really am his mate or not, I still could feel a strong force pulling me to him. I feel protected and happy in his presence. Just seeing him or hearing his voice made chills run down my spine and the butterflies in my stomach would start world war 3.

I composed myself before answering. "Y-yeah. I'm fine. I'll be out in a minute." I replied.

"Okay."

I did one last double look at myself in the mirror, took a deep breath and headed for the door. If I really want another chance in life and be happy, I have to get rid of my past fears and strive for what's ahead of me. Being Logan's mate meant that I'll be the future Luna of this pack, and a Luna must be strong and dependent. I'll have a whole pack to look after.

I opened the bathroom door to reveal Logan standing next to it with all his glory. His arms were crossed against his chest, making his muscles even more prominent.

His head snapped towards me, a smile filling his face. I couldn't help but give a small smile back. He took my hand and went to the bed were he helped me go on before covering me with the comforter once again.

"Hey, baby girl, I have to go see how things are going so far with the rouge." He said hesitantly.

"Are you going to be okay alone?" He continued. I hesitated a little before nodding my head at him. Yeah, I guess I'll be fine. No one ever tried to harm me ever since I came here, and hopefully no one would. Plus, he has alpha duties. I won't be a good Luna and mate to if I kept him from that.

I saw Logan lean in, making our faces closer ever second. What is he going to do? What is he going to do? I had my doubts but I didn't want to confirm them in my head.

He was leaning in more until our face were about one cm apart. He was going to kiss me. The thought made my heart beat faster inside my chest. I was never kissed before.

Logan seemed to hesitate for a moment before he raised his head a bit, sighted, then instead of kissing my lips, he kissed my forehead. Looks like he changed his mind, and I'm not going to wonder why. Who would want to kiss me? I felt something tug at my heart. As much as I knew I wasn't ready for any intimate contact with anyone, I still didn't like the idea of Logan not wanting to touch me in such a way.

I was, yet again, snapped out of my thoughts when I felt Logan get out of bed. He made his way to the door before turning his head and flashing me one amazing smile of his that made my heart melt.

"I won't take long. I'll come back as soon as I can, okay? Don't miss me too much." He said, winking at the last part. My face turned red again and I buried it into the comforter. I heard him chuckle, then the sound of the door closing filled the room, and finally, silence took over.

I sighted. What was I supposed to do now? I thought of cleaning the room, but it was already clean. Well, thinking again, there really wasn't much for me to do anyways. I'm afraid if I touched any of Logan's things, he would get mad and punish me. Even thought he said that he would never hurt me, I still had my doubts. Ten years of torture were a long time.

Before I could decide on what to do a know on the door made me snap my head towards it. Did Logan forget something? No, no, even if he did, why would he knock.

I didn't get the chance to reply before the door creaked open and an unfamiliar head popped in. It was a woman. When our gazes met she smiled sweetly at me, like a mother smiling at her daughter. Even thought I never experienced such a thing, I still saw how the mothers in my old pack looked down at their children and i couldn't help but long for it.

"Hey." She said softly as she opened the door wider, allowing the rest of her body to come to view. She was beautiful with a tall figure and beautifully tanned skin. I felt my heart beats quicker their pace. I know I said that I had to be stronger and throw away my past fears but I still can't help but feel a bit nervous in the presence of new people. I took a deep bath to calm down my nerves.

No. I can do this. I can definitely do this.

"Can I...uhmm....come in?" I heard her ask. I looked up at her and mustered up the best smile I had before nodding. She grinned widely at me as she mad her way across the room, to the bed. She sat on Logan's side, next to me, all the while not losing eyes contact.

"Hi, I'm Logan's mom, Claire." She said softly, her smile never fading.

I looked at the green eyed woman in front of me. So that's Logan's mother. Noticing the resemblance, I saw that both of them had the same shade of brown hair. However, they weren't so similar in the eye section.

"I don't know why Logan has been locking you up in here since you came. I really wanted to see you, so knowing that he left was my only chance." She said, grinning sheepishly.

I tilted my head at her in confusion. "L-locked me up?" I asked. What did she mean? I was the one that couldn't muster up the courage to go out and meet everyone.

"Yeah. He said something like he doesn't want you to meet anyone right now and stuff. I know he's very protective of you but in my opinion that's too much." She stated. Now I was more confused. Why would he put the blame of me not wanting to meet anyone yet on him. Now, it seemed like he was the one keeping the future Luna from meeting her pack. They might think wrongly of him.

"N-no." I started, wanting to clear up the misunderstanding. "I-I wasn't locked up. He-"

"I know. I know. He's just doesn't want to overwhelm you since you just came. Plus, you're old pack wa-" She cut me off only to be stopped mid sentence by herself. I knew what she wanted to say and I was grateful she didn't. I really don't want to think about my old pack right now.

She smiled at me again. "Uhmm....Eva, Alexis and Chloe really wanted to see you too. Can they..uhmm...come?" Claire asked. I furrowed my eyebrows. Was I ready? Did I want to? I never had friends before, or anyone for that matter and I can't just assume that they are bad people before getting to know them better. Alexis's countable visits made me less nervous around her, but who the hell was Chloe?

It's okay. I can do this. I chanted the phrase in my mind as I took a deep breath and nodding.

Claire remained silent for a moment, looking into space, before she smile back at me again. I scrunched up my face in confusion.

"Mind link." She pointed at he head when she realised what I was about to ask.

"Oh." Was all I could say. I wanted to try mind linking someone too.

Seconds later, the door opened again and in came a pair of heads, both grinning my way. Alexis, whom I already know sat on the other corner of Logan's side, opposite to Claire.

"Hi." She said waving her hand at me. I waved back as I gave her a small smile. I now, had my knees pulled up to my chest, just to feel more at ease.

"Hi." Another voice called, whom I assumed to be Chloe's. She sat on the edge, in the middle between Alexis and Claire. I waved back at her too.

"Hi." I replied.

"Okay Eva, this is Alexis, our pack's witch." Claire said, pointing to Alexis. "And this is Chloe, the beta's mate." She pointed to Chloe, who, along with the other two was smiling sweetly at me. Warmth spread through my body at their sight.

"So Eva, uhmm....how old are you?" I heard Alexis ask.

"Uhmm..Twenty."

"Oh my god. Just like me." Chloe's high pitched voice startled us, especially me. She composed herself, her cheeks turning a little pink. "Sorry." She muttered. I smiled at her. She had so much energy. Something I definitely needed.

"It's okay." I said softly, my voice barely a whisper. She seemed to have heard that as she looked up at me and grinned.

"Okay so when exactly is your birthday?" Chloe asked. "I want to know how many months apart are we."

"First of January." I replied.

"First of January?" All three chorused. I nodded my head.

"Wow. That's a really cool date." Alexis said before a gasp escape her lips. "I should've known!" All head were looking at her now.

"You're a Gumiho. Of course you'd be born on the first of Jan. They all do." She explained.

"You know, it's still hard to believe that a real Gumiho is actually our pack's Luna. I mean, how more awesome can this get?" Chloe beamed with enthusiasm. "I want to brag about it so badly."

"No Chloe. You know you can't do that. It might put Eva in danger. She hasn't even fully transformed yet." Claire scolded.

"I know. I know." Chloe sighted in defeat but soon enough, her eyes glowed as she asked. "Eva, can you show us your tails? What powers do you have? Can you teleport? Move things with your mind? Can you control any of the elements? Maybe all of the elements?" Her questions just never stopped coming and to tell you the truth, it was intimidating and uncomfortable.

"Chloe." Claire warned. Chloe stopped talking and murmured an apology as her head hung low in embarrassment. "Sorry, I, I'm just so happy to meet you." She said, her voice barely audible.

I gave her a small smile, even though I knew she can't see me.

"Uhmm....I don't know if I have any powers but,...uhmm...I can show you my tails." I more asked than said.

I looked at Alexis and Claire and they both had anticipated and eager looks in their eyes. Chloe raised her head and she too, had the same look.

I directed my gaze to Alexis. "Uhmm....You only taught me how to make them disappear. Can you teach me how to make them show up?" I asked her.

"It's easy. Just close your eyes and imagine them appearing. Same as when you make them disappear." She explained.

I took a deep breath, closed my eyes, and started imagining them appear. I could feel a tingly sensation spread through my back and short gasps filled the room.

I shortly, opened my eyes to be met with three faces, all looking at me in awe. I knew that I succeed in making my three tail appear as I felt them move behind. I was getting more accustomed to control them.

"They're beautiful." I heard Claire whisper. I realised that all three couldn't utter a coherent word. I smiled at them. I never got the chance to impress someone before, this was new and I loved every bit of it.

They all snapped out of their daze and their eyes met mine. They all grinned widely at me.

"This is the coolest thing I've ever seen." Chloe said happily.

"I second that." Alexis said.

"Me too." Now it was Claire.

"Eva. I've been wanting to ask you." I heard Alexis say, making our heads snap her way. "Don't you remember meeting Logan before?" I furrowed my eyebrows at her. So Logan didn't lie. We really did meet before.

They must've realised my confusion. "It's okay if you don't remember sweetie. I'm sure you will some day. Claire said soothingly. I kind of felt guilty. I didn't like that I couldn't remember my meeting with Logan while everyone else did.

"Uhmm..can you...uhmm...tell me more about it?" I directed my question to Claire knowing that she knew better than the rest of us.

I didn't get to hear her reply before sudden pain coursed in my body making it arch painfully and a high pitched scream filled the room, knowing too well that it was me.
