“So, what are we all going to watch?“ I ask as Jacob, Phil, Charlotte, Melissa, Tania, Boyd, Tessa, Violet and myself sat in the theatre room at the pack house.

“Twister," yelled Melissa

“Cats and Dogs," said Violet

“Terminator,” Boyd responded

“How about we all choose a movie together" I suggested.

“I suggest we all watch Jurassic Park," suggested Jacob. Why would he suggest we watch that? He knew that was mine and also his favourite movie I thought to myself. “As Phoebe hasn’t been around for a month, I think it’s fair we watch her most favourite movie of all time. What do you say Doll?" he added.

“Well, I can’t say no to Jurassic Park, but I would also like to watch Twister” I add.

“We will watch them both" replied Phil.

We all got comfortable. Some of us were on reclining chairs, some on the sofa. Melissa and Boyd were on a bean bag on the floor. Tania was cuddled up to me on a love seat and Jacob and Tessa were also sprawled out on a couch. Was he giving her feet a massage? We decided to watch Twister first. Half way through I needed to use the bathroom. Before l knew it my wolf had taken me to the first floor. His scent hit my nostrils, I Inhaled deeply until it filled my senses. Ella whimpered that she wanted her mate.

Quickly entering the bathroom closest to our mates office I done what I had to do and as I was washing my hands, I heard the door open. Turning my head to see who it was i discovered it was Luna Ava Black, Damon’s mum.

“Phoebe, my dear child. How are you doing?" She greets me with a smile on her face. Coming over she quickly envelops me in a motherly hug. I burst into tears everything I had bottled up the last month just came pouring out in a jumbled rush. Crying into her chest, I blurted out. “I can smell him on you. OH GOD. I want him so much, I miss him, I can’t sleep, can’t eat, I feel like I’m suffocating, I’m hurting so bad. I’m continually fighting Ella as she wants to take over and go sink her teeth in his neck. We belong together. I don’t think I can go on much longer the mate pull is so strong; I have to reject him. I’m losing my mind. It should be me carrying his pup” hot salty tears are flowing down my face my chest hurts with the pain I have been suffering. Continuing on “I just don’t think I could bare it, if I had to watch her become his mate, his Luna, the mother of his child. If she was to end up carrying the pup full term” my crying is now out of control as my body shook with each sob I took, as I clung on to her. Ella curled into a tight ball as she too whimpered.

“Shh there now.” Luna Black responded as she gently rubbed soothing circles on my back “Phoebe everything is going to work out trust me. What you're going through so is my son he just hurled his desk into the wall it almost came crashing through to Jason’s office, where I was at the time. Look at me” she asked. I lifted my tear stained face up to hers. “I don’t think everything is as it seems. I don’t trust Sally, I’ve even caught another scent on her, one not from our pack. I think there is more going on, then what you, and I, even Damon is aware of.” she confessed looking me directly in the eyes. “Please don’t reject my son he loves you; he always has.” She pleaded, desperation in her voice.

“He wanted me to stay away from him because he is scared, he would claim me. I’ve tried, but what about my position in the pack? am I meant to give that up as well?” I asked her.

“For you to stay away is wrong and I clearly don’t have all the answers, but from now on do what your heart tells you to do” she replied.

“Phoebe, where are you?” I hear Tania over the mind link. “I’m in the ladies room with Luna Black.” I answered back. “Ok don’t forget the movie. Grab us some snacks on your way back.” she added while shutting off the link.

“Is everything alright? “Luna Black asked. “Yeah, they are just wanting some snacks” I replied. “Ok I will help you get some.” she replies, as she wipes the tears from my face.

After Luna Black helped me re-apply some makeup on my face so I would look decent again, we walked out of the ladies and made our way back downstairs into the kitchen. We both grabbed an arm load each of popcorn, chips, chocolate and sodas. Making our way back to the theatre room and dumping our goodies on an empty chair she turned to me, “Anytime you need to talk Phoebe come find me it's bad harbouring all those negative thoughts and feelings inside." she then turned and left so we could get back to the movie.

After Twister had finished, which ended with tears down my face as the couple got back together, Jacob put Jurassic Park on.

The movie wasn’t the same without Damon here with me he always used to try to scare me at least once, or roar in my ear. so I thought I would just rest my eyes for a little bit.

I didn’t feel strong arms lift me up several hours later. I also didn’t remember snuggling more into a hard chest. Most importantly I didn’t hear “I’ve got you; I will always have you.” As gentle lips brushed against my forehead.

I follow from a distance hoping I don’t step on a twig. She stops when she comes to a clearing. I hide myself behind a bush and I watch as a male figure approaches.

I watch as he lovingly sweeps her into his arms giving her a long and passionate kiss.

“How are you my love” he asks her.

“How do you think I am” she angrily hisses back. “I’m locked up like a damn prisoner, I have no friends, I can’t get him to mark me because he refuses to spend more time than necessary with me, and then I’m at risk of losing your pup because I have to let someone other than you mark me.”

“It hurts me as well, my love but it will all be worth it in the end.”

He again brings her close to his body. But I don’t see what else happens as I quietly walk away, not believing what I just heard.
