Luca's POV

"What?" I had asked through gritted teeth. I held the urge to go and challenge him.

"Alpha Luca, that beautiful woman is mine. I have had my eyes set on her for a while."

I moved closer to him, our noses touching, I roared with anger before whispering harshly,

"Don't tempt me."

I saw his canines grow out.

"I'm not."

"She is my mate, and now my life. Stand down or there will be hell to pay."

He backed away slightly.

"Alpha Luca, either give her to me, or I will start a war, now we wouldn't want to do that, especially with the things going on with the rogues." I scoffed, staring at him dead in the eyes.

"Do it."

I turned my back to him beginning my journey to my mate.

Diana's POV

My head was pounding, giving me a major migraine. I groaned in pure agony. My eyes opened, leaving a burning sensation. I rubbed my eyes, trying to get rid of the irritating feeling.

"Ah." I seethed out.

Once I got my vision back, I looked around. Where am I? I grabbed my head, squinting my eyes.

"You're awake."

A small yelp leaving my lips as I heard a voice right next to me. I scoot farther away from the voice. It was a man, he had chestnut-colored hair, and was very pale. He stared at me in awe, before clearing his throat.

"Good afternoon Luna, Alpha is on his way. I'm Blake, the Beta of your pack. If you need anything please let me know, it would be an honor to help you with anything." I licked my lips, nodding slowly.

"Hello Blake, thank you for the offer." I gave him a scared smile.

I shifted uncomfortably, bringing my legs up to my chest.

"Luna, would you like anything to eat?"

I glanced at him, fiddling with my fingers. I heard him chuckle lightly before standing up.

"I'll take that as a yes."

"My name is Diana by the way, not Luna."

I saw him stop midway before shaking his head and walking away. I heard a door open from behind me, making me jolt in my spot. It was that gorgeous man. There was some sort of relief in his eyes as he came to me smiling big.

"Oh thank God you're okay."

I felt him engulf me in an embrace, sniffing the crook of my neck, he seemed to relax more as his shoulders loosened up. I had become stiff and he noticed. My fear was radiating off of me and he could tell. This was not good. I felt his warm hand lift my chin up slowly allowing us to make eye contact.

"Don't worry love, I won't hurt you. I know you may have many questions, so please feel free to ask away." I decided that this was my chance to actually get some answers.

"What a-are you?" My voice was unsteady and quiet yet loud enough for him to hear. I heard him sigh before answering my question.

"I'm a werewolf. and so is everyone else you have met, except for you."

I stared at him, biting on both my top and bottom lip. I knew he wasn't lying because I have witnessed too much to deny it. I breathed in slowly,

"Why is that...Blake...guy calling me Luna and, and calling you Alpha?" I saw him grin as he held my face in my hands.

"A Luna is a female leader of a pack, and an Alpha is a male leader. A Luna is also the mate of an Alpha. I have one of the biggest packs in the world as I am an Alpha King and you are my Luna Queen which makes us much stronger and more powerful than other Alphas and Lunas."

It took me a moment to process this, I was a Queen? This makes no sense. I was only freaking 18!! How the hell am I supposed to take care of a pack- wait a minute-

"What's a pack and a mate?" My confusion only seemed to grow.

"A pack is a group of werewolves that are run by the Alpha and Luna." I started to understand a tiny bit and my fear for some reason started to fade away. Why was I feeling so safe? So protected?

"You didn't answer my question completely. What's a mate?"

He grabbed me by the waist and pulled me into his lap, as he wrapped his arms around me again. I felt my face burn as I felt embarrassed even though I never wanted to leave his lap. He put his face close to mine, our lips almost brushing. Why was I letting this happen to me? Diana, stop him!

"A mate is a person you are meant to be with for the rest of your life. Most werewolves have them, and I have waited my whole life for you. They are your love and you would die without them. You are mine."

He brushed a strand of hair out of my face giving me a warm smile. That sounded so romantic, but I knew it could never happen. I needed to tell him. I returned a short and sad smile.

"Listen, Alpha King, I'm only 18. I could never be a Queen. It also seems you are a lot older than me and I don't want to trouble you." I saw his mouth open slowly shocked at my response. Alpha King grunted before speaking again.

"It's Luca. You can call me Luca. I'm 23, but you are my mate and I desire to be with you for the rest of my life, only if you would do the honor of accepting me as your mate." I gazed at him in shock. He didn't care? I somewhat felt happy knowing he didn't care.

But I only just met him, how could I accept him all of a sudden? I was nearly scared to death by him and Xavier a few hours ago. But I couldn't just leave him mateless. He said he would die and I do not want that.

"Luca, I would love to accept you as my 'mate', but I know nothing about you and all this information is just so sudden. If we can take things slow, and just wait on certain things, I can maybe accept you." His eyes lit up, as he picked me up off of his lap and spun me around giving me a kiss on the cheek.

"Oh thank you! I promise you won't regret it..." I realized I had never introduced myself to him.

"Diana." I never thought his smile could get any bigger, but it did.

"Am I interrupting something?"

We both snapped our heads towards the other voice that was added. I saw it was Blake with a plate full of salad and a cold glass of water. My stomach rumbles loudly, making me cover my face with my hands.

I heard both of them chuckle, the plate and glass making a clicking sound as it touched the coffee table. I sat back down on the couch, waiting politely until I could eat.

"What are you waiting for Luna? You may eat." I gave Blake a smile before praying over my food.

"Lord, I thank you for this day and food. Please give to those who don't have any. Bless the many people who have helped me and allow me to cherish this food. Amen." I kissed my hands before grabbing the fork slowly taking the first bite of the salad. I felt stares on both sides of me.

My eyes met Luca's as he gave me a look of confusion. I chewed slowly before taking a sip of water. Once I finished eating, I stood up wiping off Xavier's shirt that I was still wearing. I heard Luca growl loudly causing me to flinch.

"Who's shirt are you wearing?" I glanced at him, sensing his anger.

"Luca stop, she's new to this." I heard Blake say, stepping next to me slightly. I met Luca's eyes, giving him a reassuring look.

"It's Xavier's. I'm wearing a swimsuit under it, which has actually been chafing me for a while." Luca came closer to me, his chest meeting my head. He stared down at me.

"Please take it off. It's hurting me to see you in 'his' clothes." He whispered in his raspy and deep voice.

I grabbed the bottoms of the shirt ready to take it off but his hand stopped me. I looked at him confused.

"Not here." He nudged his head towards Blake.

"Follow me." He grabbed my hand in his, giving me butterflies. He started to lead me to the endless stairs. I whimpered in pain taking my injured foot off the ground. His grasp on my hand tightened.

"L-Luca I hurt my foot yesterday falling out of a tree, I don't think I can put any more pressure on it." I was swept off of my feet as Luca carried me. I hid my face, trying to avoid any eye contact.

"Better?" Luca asked.

I nodded looking away. He let out a small laugh shaking his head. He began walking up the never-ending stairs until we reached a room door. It was a nice dark brown color, it looked like a stain on some sort of oak wood. I felt Luca's hand move under my bum.

He tried to grab the door handle a couple of times failing both times. I felt him puff out a gust of air in annoyance. I giggled, closing my eyes. I grabbed the door handle opening it myself.

"You should do that more." I looked at him confused.

"What? Opening door handles?" He laughed, throwing his head back. Luca put me down, I gasped at the sight.

"Welcome to my room, well OUR room."

I smiled at that, turning my head back to him. There was a large King size bed sitting on the right of me, and across from me was a nice patio with a couple of chairs viewing the whole 'pack'.

On the left was a large walk-in closet and next to that was a beautiful bathroom. I heard the door close and Luca jumping on the bed, lying down. I grabbed the bottom of Xavier's shirt taking it off of my body, leaving me in my all-black swimsuit.

I knew Luca was staring at me as I looked down and played with my fingers, crossing my right leg over the other. I heard him hum in delight causing goosebumps to run up my back.

"May I use the shower?" He smiled, winking at me.

"Of course you can, this is now your room, do whatever you'd like."

I put a piece of hair behind my ear before heading towards the large bathroom. It was beautiful, so simple. I quickly closed the door of the bathroom and undressed from my icky swimsuit. I sighed in pure relief feeling as if my body was freed. I stepped into the shower letting the water soothe my back.

The sound of the bathroom door opened, making me squeal.

"Sorry! Sorry! I'm just putting a towel and some clothes for you to wear on top of the toilet." Shoot, how could I forget?

"Thank you." I stuck my head out a tiny bit watching him leave the bathroom. As I finished my shower with all men shampoo and body wash I changed into the clothes Luca had left out for me. It was a large black shirt and his boxer briefs, let me tell you, it was the most comfortable I've felt in my life.

I walked out of the bathroom and saw Luca sitting on the bed, waiting for me. His head shot up when he heard me open the bathroom door. His eyes darkened and filled with, lust? I saw him walk towards me and grabbed me by the waist.

His hands moved closer to my butt and I didn't stop him. Diana, this isn't right but it feels like it is. His hot breath hit my face as he looked into my eyes. He pulled me closer as if that was possible.

"I don't know how I'm gonna be able to take things slow if you are looking like this." I blushed and gulped loudly.

I felt something poke on my legs. Luca let go of me, groaning.

"It's my turn to take a shower and a VERY cold one."

I saw him walk towards the bathroom, shutting the door. I stared at the door wide-eyed. What just happened?

AN: Soooo they finally met! It seems like they have been getting along quite well!! Random question!! How long have you all been into werewolves? I would love to know!! Thanks for reading and Much Love!
