Zander mark me." when she uttered those words, a blissful feelings erupted through me.

Finally, she will be mine.

I've waited this moment for so long since I found her. The very first day, my eyes landed on her.

Now, looking at her unconscious body lying on my bed. When she fainted, I was so worried and brought her to my bedroom. Did I hurt her so much? But my Mom was there and she told me that she will be okay, as she was strong and will be wake up soon.

"Love, please come back to me." I murmured to her, it has been quite a long time since she fainted and I can't help but worry too much. My wolf wants to come out but I shut him off. Soon I felt her eyes moving, and open. She looked to me and I smiled at her.

"Hey, hows your feeling." I said while bringing her some glass of water, I know she's thirsty. She quickly grabbed the glass and drink.

"I am ok, what happened!" She looked to me and explain to her that she fainted after I marked her. Her cheeks blushed which amused me. She looked down to hide her blushing.

"Hey dont feel shy. I liked it when you blushed." I said before kissing her hand. She then try to move from my bed to sit, and I helped her bacause I know she still weak.

"Where am I? It is not my room Zander."

"Well, I brought you here." I brushed my hair at the back of my head. I dont know if she will be happy that I brought her in my room. But I saw that she's ok with it.

"Hey, would you like me to get you something to eat?" She looked at me before asking how many hours had passed before she woke up.

"8 hours Love, and you must eat to have your energy back." Her eyes widen and then nod at me. I smiled at her and then went outside to get her food.

I opened the door and saw that she came out from my bathroom, I then placed the tray on my table and asked her to sit.

"Love, I just want to ask you ifyouliketostayinroomfromnowon." I said while she looked amused.

"Zander, I didnt catch that, please say it slowly." I looked at her again.

"I just want to ask if you like to stay in my room from now on." Finally, I feel so nervous, I dont want her to think I'm so fast but since I marked her, the bond became so strong and I cannot let her be away from me. I'm waiting for her reply, and pray that she wont rejected me.

"Ok."

"What?" I repeat, I cannot believed so I repeat.

"I said, Ok, I am ok to move here and be with you." She smiled at me and then start to eat her food, while leaving my face odumbfounded.

Yes! Zack howl and jumping non stop inside my head.

"Oh my goddess, You make me so happy." She looked at me again before say something.

"Zander, We're mates, and soon I have to be with you, it is our destiny to be together so why not now, right."

"I know but I dont want to rush you." I said , she then moved her hand on mine and looked straight into my eyes.

"No you didnt. I want you to know that me and Althea both agree with this."

"Thank you Love, really you're amazing." After she's done with her food, I quickly asked her to take some rest again and at the same time I asked someone to shift all her things to my room.

"Boss are you sure about this?"

"Yes, I'm sure, just dont hurt her, and make it soon." He said to the person on the other line. After few minutes of giving instructions he cut the line and walked back at the pack house.

After all my things shifted to Zander's room, I asked him if it is okay to run.

"Ava, you know it is not safe." He said, I narrowed my eyes on him.

"Why wouldn't be safe? Our pack is secured, and I wont be long, just I need to give Althea a run." He is having a battle witn his self, he cannot come to me because he has some important meeting with the council and his father. He asked me to come to the meeting but I rejected as I need to run. I explained to him that I have his mark and my necklace will warn me if danger will come. Finally, he approved. I quickly kissed him and ran onto woods.

' it was long time since we have a run Althea.' My wolf agreed and we quickly shifted to my white wolf.

I ran so fast and I feel so ecstatic. It seems my abilities become strong after Zander marked me. After I'm satisfied, I shifted to my human form. I wear my clothes on and that's when I saw a gazelle quietly drinking on the lake.

I've decided that I will go for a hunt.

I, then concentrate to hide myself, it didnt felt my presence and continue to drink when I finally jumped on it. My movement was fast like a wind. I snapped its neck and its life left its body.

Althea will enjoy her meal I thought to myself, when suddenly I heard a cry.

"Althea did you hear that, I think someone's crying." She agreed and soon we quickly ran and followed the sound. Soon I've realized that the sound coming outside the territory, but still I ran towards it.

"Hey, why you're crying?" She looked at me and realized that she was a young she wolf, around five. She has red eyes from crying.

"My payents left me here, they said they will come back but I've waited here for so long." She said in child tone while sobbing. I felt pity and walked towards her. All of the sudden, Nathalie came rushing to me.

"Luna, what are you doing here? You went outside the border." She said, I knew that but I have to help this child.

"I know, but I heard her crying and she was alone here. I cannot leave her like this. She was just a child." I told her, she's about to approach me when suddenly my necklace glows. The heat gushing through from it send shivers to my spine. Danger is coming, I thought. I looked around and suddenly 6 massive men appeared in front of us. Not only that they aren't looked like rouges.

What are they?

"Luna, stay at my back." Nathalie quickly said and moved me from her behind. I quickly hold her arm and asked her to take care the child.

"No, hold her and let me deal with them. Who are you and why you're here?" I looked to one of them and saw that he staring intenly at me. He just ignored my question. Suddenly 3 men attacked us, I quickly kicked one of them in his neck, cracked will be heard and then I punched the other guy on his face, both fell on the ground, while nathalie shifted to her wolf and attacked. The other two men attacked me again, while the other jumped to Nathalie.

I'm furious, My movement became invisible to naked eye. So fast that they not felt my presence as I snapped their necks, how dare them to attack me! I looked around and saw that Nathalie killed also the other guy, but my eyes got widen when 8 More men emerged from the trees.

Nathalie was panting and looked exhausted and I am still good, but what I didnt expected was that, the 8 men attacked Nathalie. My Luna instinct rushed through me and quickly I jumped in front of her, shielding her from them.

I then felt a power radiating from me. There's a hot tinggling sensations on my fingers, which I lifted when I was infront of them. When I opened my eyes, We are surrounded by a white crystal like that illuminates. Althea said it is my barrier.

My eyes widen because I didnt see now the 8 men. It was like they turned to ashes. My eyes moved to Nathalie whose eyes looked like a saucer. Suddenly the barrier's gone.

"Luna, how did you do that, the barrier, and when they touched it, they turned them to ashes." She's trembling, she can't believe for what she just saw. That I have a power and now I know how to use that power.

"Nathalie, swear to me you wont tell to anyone what you had witnessed." I command her. She nod to me and I told her to move, soon my mate and his warriors are in my view.

Narrowing his eyes and waiting for my explanation. He looked around and saw 6 dead body. The other 8 were nowhere to find as I turned them to ashes.

"What the hell happened here. Nathalie care to explain? You supposed to call back up!" He's fuming, I can see some smoke erupted on his ears and nose. She is about to answer when I intervened.

"It was all my fault Alpha! I went outside the border because I heard this child crying." I quickly lifted the child to my arms.

"And you know that it's not safe and yet you still go?" He snorted while looking at me.

"And what do you want me to do leave this child there alone?" I replied and started to walk.

"And where do you think you're going Luna?" Zander retorted, I glared at him.

"Don't shout Alpha!, I'm hearing you, and never use that tone on me! Talk to me when you're calm down, now, me and Nathalie and this child will take our leave, Goodbye!" I turned my back from them and asked nathalie to walk with me. She got some deep wounds that needs to clean up.

Soon I heard footsteps from my behind.

It was Zander.

He still looked furious, but I dont care as I am angry also. He shouldn't talked to us like that, until he heard everything!

When we reached the pack house, I asked someone to give me the first aid kit. I put down the child on the chair.

"Luna, you dont have to this, it was nothing." Nathalie said, I ignored her, but in reality I used my power to heal her. She will not noticed it I think.

"Nah, it is okay, you came to me and it was my fault. If something happened to you, I won't forgive myself." She looked at me, I know she has questions.

Soon she decided to go ahead to have some rest.

"Thank you again Luna." I nod at her and soon left us. I then looked at the child who's sitting in the chair.

"Hey, what's your name?" Her eyes are colored green, like my mate, and thinking about him now makes me angry again.

"My name is Ruri, Yuna." She chirped, I smiled and quickly lifted her and we both went to the kitchen to give her some food and water.

"Ruri, eat and drink, and later I will send you to your room ok?" She looked happy and gladly eat and drink what I gave to her. She was so small and thin.

"How old are you Ruri?" She tilted her head to me.

"I turned 6 last week Yuna." She continued eating while suddenly I sensed that my mate is coming. I looked up and saw his guilty face.

"Ava, I'm sorry it is just that I'm so worried, I felt your emotions when I was in the meeting and rush to the borders as soon as I felt that. Seeing men, like 6 fucking men dead, makes my blood boils."

"Language Zander, we have kid here!" I pointed to Ruri while glaring at him. He looked tensed and quickly say sorry.

"Please forgive me Love." He gave me a puppy dog eyes. But I am still pissed.

"Yuna, pwease forgive Awfa, sowy it is because of me." Ruri said while looking down on her lap.

"Hey, dont blamed yourself, sssshh, looked at me, it is was not your fault ok? Dont think we're blaming you." I looked at Zander and motioned him to talk.

"Yes, dont blame your self, It is just alpha always get angry when mate is stubborn."

"I am not stubborn, take that back!"

"Ok, I take it back, just please forgive me." Begging me.

"I am still angry, but I understand where it's coming, I am sorry also." he kissed me then and I slightly pushed him.

"Hey, I told you we have kid here." He just shrugged it and smiled, I then asked him let ruri stay with us, I mean in a room until we found her parents.

"We can give her your old room Love."

"Really?" I looked at him. "Yes, I cannot say no to you." He said giving me peck on my cheek. I carried Ruri and we walked towards my old room, as I know that she was tired and need to sleep.
