"Vampires?"

"Yes, real."

"Witches?"

"Yep."

"Ghosts?"

"It depends. Human's, yes. Werewolves no."

"What about Zombies?" Will just laughs. I take that as a no.

"So why are we mates?" I blurt out.

"I do not know why, I just know we are."

"Is it common for a human and a werewolf to be mates?

"Not only is it uncommon it's not possible."

"What do you mean it's not possible? Are we not mates then?"

"We ARE mates." He raises an eyebrow at me.

"That would mean I'm a werewolf" I laugh. "I think I would know if I were a werewolf."

"Not until you turn 18."

"What do you mean?"

"Werewolves are human until they turn 18."

"Will, are you really saying I'm a werewolf?"

"Yes, My Love"

"But…. How?"

"What do you know about your real parents?"

"They died when I was nine, they were drug addicts and always partying. I don't remember much about living with them."

"Do you have any other family?"

"No.. Well I have an aunt. But I haven't heard from her since my parents' funeral. My mom was pregnant once with a boy. He died when I was young."

"I'm sorry, that must have been really hard on your family."

"It was on me and my mom. My dad just complained the baby wasn't his."

"Oh my… I'm so sorry Layla"

"It's not your fault. Plus, it was a long time ago."

"How did he die?"

"I think in his sleep? Or he suffocated on a pillow or something."

"Hmmm.."

"What?"

"It's nothing.." He is holding something back..

"Tell me!"

"Well sometimes if a female werewolf has a baby out of wedlock the father will kill the baby." That is terrible. My dad wouldn't do that, would he?

"So… is there anything I need to do to prepare for my birthday?" I change the subject quickly.

"I will help you when the time comes. You will start feeling your senses heighten soon. But you won't get your wolf or shift until the first full moon."

"Get a wolf?"

"Yes! You aren't a werewolf but you hold a werewolf inside, if that makes sense.. The moon goddess will assign you a wolf. They live in your body and share a consciousness."

"Do you have a wolf?"

"Yes, his name is Samson." I feel my cheeks get hot. I thought Samson was his 's pet name. I laugh.

"What?" He asks.

"So what did you mean earlier when you said I was driving Samson crazy?" This time he's the one who gets red.

"I have a heightened sense of smell so I could smell your arousal." Woah.

"Oh umm. What do I smell like?"

"Your scent in lavender but your arousal is.. I can't explain it. It's more of a feeling."

"My scent?"

"Yes, even wolf pups have a scent, My scent is pine an-"

"OH MY GOD, I SMELLED PINE WHEN YOU HELD ME IN THE CAR!"

"See, you are a wolf." He smiles so big at me. We both start laughing. He is so handsome. His smile is perfect, and his laugh.. Oh his laugh makes me weak. I feel myself getting hot again but not my face this time. His face gets serious. And he groans

"Oh Layla, you drive me mad."

"Oh you? Or Samson?" I smile at him and I swear I hear him purr. I don't know if this is what I want. But I know I have this need to be close to him. I pat the bed and he is beside me in the blink of an eye. He puts his arm under my back and pulls me in close. It feels good to be in his arms. I feel like nothing can hurt me with him by my side.

"Dr. Parker called you Alpha, that means you're the leader.. Right?"

"Yes, you will be my Luna"

"What about Mollie?"

"Mollie is not a wolf."

"So where does she belong in the pack?"

"We will have to ask the Elders."

"Okay." I get quiet..

"What's wrong My Love?"

"Will they make her leave?"

"No, there are plenty of jobs for a human in our pack." That makes me relax. I'm facing Will now. He smells so good, like a fresh pine tree.

"Will?"

"Yes My Love?"

"To be your mate, do I need to be," I pause because I'm not sure if I want to know the answer to my question.

"Do you need to be what?"

"A… virgin?" He just looks at me, his eyes turn black and I get scared."I'm sorry, I just didn't want you to go through all of this for nothi-"

"No, you don't have to be a virgin. Although. I cannot lie, it hurts me that you've shared yourself in that way to someone else. But I can't say I haven't either." I instantly am jealous that he has slept with other girls. He is incredibly handsome. I'm sure he has had no problems getting laid. I don't want to think about this..

"I love you, Layla" he smiles at me. I can't help but smile back. God, his smile. I place my hand on his cheek and he closes his eyes. I look at him closer. He has freckles but they are lightly placed perfectly across his nose. He has tan skin and brown hair that curls in the longer places. I reach up and run my fingers through his hair. It's longer than it looks when I brush out the curls. I wrap a curl around my finger and twirl it around. Pine fills my nose and I don't know why but it instantly turns me on. No one has ever made me feel this way before. I run my hand down his neck and place my palm on his chest. His chest is so broad. I start to rub his chest. He moans.

"Mmm Layla, My Love it feels so good when you touch me" His moan alone is enough to make my s*x warm and and I feel him place his hand under the back of my shirt. His hand is on my naked skin. He starts rubbing my back and kissing my neck.

"Layla, baby you smell incredible." I see his eyes turn black but it doesn't scare me this time.

"Tell Samson I say hello" I whisper in Will's ear and he smiles.

"He wants… he wants me to take you Layla" I gasp.

"Can he see me?"

"Yes, if I let him"

"No. I want to share this with you, Will" Will's eyes turn black again. When they become normal I lean myself into him. I don't have to go far and I feel him pressed up against me. I rub myself against him. He moans again, louder this time. I don't really know what I'm doing. I wrap my leg around him. I want to feel him between my legs.

"f**k mmm Layla" I can feel through his pants that he is huge. "Wait, My Love" I stop and look into his eyes.

"Are you sure you want this?"

"Yes, but I'm not really sure what I'm doing… I haven't had s*x in six years and it was only one time for fourty-five seconds." He smiles.

"That is what you were worried about, your whole s*x experiance was 45 seconds?"

"Well, no… but the other times I wasn't conscious." f**k, f**k, f**k, why did I say that. I swear I have to ruin anything. Will's eyes turn back and he pulls away.

"What do you mean you weren't conscious?"

"Nevermind, it's not importa-"

"Layla, were you hurt?" He looks so angry.

"Yes but I don't remember anything s-"

"Who?" I just close my eyes. I have put this away for so long. I don't want to talk about it. I've been through so much. I nod my head and wait for him to jump out of bed and take off. But he doesn't. He wraps his arms around me and pulls me in close. The moment is gone but it feels so good to be in his arms. I catch a glimpse of the clock. It's 8M and my eyes are getting heavy. I slowly drift off to sleep.
