Avery's POV

Before arriving, I mind liked Jackson to let everyone know about Daisy. That she is a human and for them to act normal, as in no wolf talk. He was eager to know about her, and I told him I would talk to him later. I open the main door and the three of us step inside the packhouse. "Holy s**t! You guys live here?" Daisy exclaimed, clearly astounded by the place. "Yes, we do. It's late, let  me show you to your room. Them, I'll give you a tour tomorrow." She let out an adorable yawn and said, "Yeah, I am pretty exhausted." 

Kevin excused himself and wished us both a goodnight. We start making our way up to the fifth floor and she looks at me confused. "Why does this floor seem to be empty?" I smirk at her and proceed to say that this floor belongs to only me. "Wow!" Was all she managed to reply. I showed her to her room and just as I was to leave, she grabbed my arm. Sparks ignited everywhere on my skin that her hand was touching. 

"Avery, I just want to say thank you. Sorry if I was a b***h earlier." My heart flutters at her words and my wolf is trying to take control. He wants to mate and mark her, but I prevent him from doing so. The last think I need to do is scare the s**t out of her and risk being rejected. 

"You're welcome, Daisy. I'll see you in the morning. We have a lot to talk about." I close her door and head to my room. The room that one day we will share together. It's torture having her so close, yet so far away. 

Daisy's POV

This room is beyond anything I could ever hope for. It's the definition of perfect; it even has a private bathroom! I desperately need a good bath and that's the first thing I do. I turn the warm water on and take out a towel that I found in the bathroom closet. Peeling off my disgusting clothes, I toss them on the floor and emerge into the water. Holy s**t, this feels amazing. I can't remember the last time I bathed and felt so relaxed. It's strange that I feel so comfortable in a total strangers home. There's just something about Avery that pulls me to him like a magnetic force. I wonder what he wants to talk about tomorrow. 

As I pull the plug and watch the water drain, I suddenly realize that I have no clean clothes to wear. I could put my dirty clothes on, but I don't want to ruin his bed sheets and blankets. I pace around the room in just my towel. Well, at least for tonight I can just sleep naked. I'll figure the clothing issue out in the morning. I'm beyond tired and this bed is calling my name. I feel like I'm floating on clouds, I swear. This has got to be the most fluffiest bed in the world. I close my eyes and welcome the darkness.

Avery's POV

I wake up bright and early, excited to spend time with my mate. After showering and getting dressed, I head to her room. I gently knock on her door and hear a soft voice, "Come in." I open the door and freeze at the sight in front of me. She's in bed, but the top half of her is exposed. She's naked. My wolf is prancing around in my head, telling me to f**k her. "Oh, sorry. I'll come back... I don't finish my sentence as she holds her hand up in a stop talking manner. "It's fine. Better you being in here than me wondering in the hall looking for you in just a towel. Do you have clothes I could borrow?"  

I nod my head and walk out before she notices my hard on. I bring her a shirt of mine and sweats to will obviously be too big on her. Better than nothing I suppose. I walk into her room and toss the clothes at her. "I'll wait for you in the hallway."  She flashes me a half smile before I walk out. 

I'm so nervous about having to talk to her about the truth. I don't want to hide it from her and later on down the road have her pissed at me for keeping a secret. If she rejects me, better now than before I fall in love with her. It's still going to hurt like a b***h though. My heart constricts just thinking of being rejected. I just met her and feel such a strong pull to her because of the mate bond. 

"You okay there?" I'm brought out of my thoughts by her sweet voice. She looks so sexy wearing my shirt and having my scent on her. I notice she used a hair tie to keep the sweat from falling down. "Yes, you ready for breakfast?" Her stomach rumbles and we both chuckle at that. "I'll take that as a yes." We walk in silence to the dining area where a bunch of pack members are chatting and eating. They become silent the moment Daisy and I walk in. "Good morning everyone." I clear my throat. "This is Daisy and she will be staying her for awhile. I expect you to treat her with upmost respect as you would each other. Now, finish breakfast and  carry on with your day." They nod their heads and continue with their conversations. Daisy pulls me aside and whispers, "Are these all your friends and family? You guys all live together?" I mean, she's not completely wrong. I do consider them my family and friends, so I nod my head. "Yes. We are all very close to each other." She looks at me and sadness fills her eyes for a quick second. "You are very lucky to have them with you... anyway, food?" She quickly changes the subject and I make a mental note to come back to that topic. 

I lead her to the chair besides mine and one of the omegas bring us both a plate filled with food and glasses of water and orange juice. I want to laugh at how adorable Daisy looks stuffing her mouth with food. Like she hasn't ate in years. s**t. Realization dawned upon me, she probably hasn't eaten in a long time. I need to find out what happened to her.
