I was walking to my last class of the day, when I spotted Dylan across the hallway. I made my way over to him, pushing past the crowd. When i was standing next to him I nudged him to catch his attention. He looked down and smiled, but his smile faded into a look of concern, when  he noticed how worn down I looked. 

" What's wrong?" He asked. 

" I know those girls had got the wrong message about last night, but I can't help thinking that they were kind of right. I mean am I a tramp. I really only stated talking to Brison yesterday," I said. 

" Aww, honey. You're not a tramp. They are, but you and Brison are different. You're mates. That's an unbreakable bond that has a huge hold over both of you lives. You can't help it, but those girls just throw their leg over anything with a pulse," He said trying to comfort me. 

" Are we not moving to fast?" 

" No of course not. The only reason other people would say you are moving to fast, is because you may not a met the right person, but not only have you met the right person, you have found the only person. You can't go wrong when you find your mate. You and Brison are more safe then some people who have been married for years. And that's not anyone's fault. Don't beat yourself up over it," He told me with such sympathy I could not believe it was the same person people could not take seriously. 

" Thanks," I said, smiling at him. 

He smiled back. He really is shaping out to be a great friend. 

" So have you found you're mate?" I asked. 

" No. My position in the pack means I usually don't have one," He said, 

" What's your position?"

" I'm Beta. So I'm like second in charge. Because I have to have complete devotion to the Alpha, more so then anyone else in the pack, so the devotion of a mate may weaken that loyalty, so I'm kind of like a human, where I can have strong feelings for any one," He told me. 

I let it all register so I could fully understand and then one word jumped out at me. 

" You're the beta?" I asked in astonishment. 

" Yup, Just like my father and his father before that. I come from a long line of beta's. You're born into you station in the pack and there is no real changing it. But no one would ever want to. You have a very strong bond with your pack and other werewolves. We are divided into different packs, but we're all one race," He said. 

" Do all other races have mates as well?" I asked. 

" No. Only werewolves and then you have the exception of the beta. Oh and of course the vampire king and queen. They are the only other couple beside the werewolves to have a mate, but they call it soul mate. They're bond is stronger then ours as it is so unusual," He told me. 

" Have you ever met them?"

" Only a few times. In fact we were with them yesterday. Did Brison tell you about our little run in with the demons yesterday?" He asked.

" He did. I didn't know vampires were there though," I answered.

" They're not just any vampires. They're Red and Arrow, King and Queen of all the vampires and the most powerful creature to have lived, but given they're pretty chill folks. They are the only other two creatures to have found their mate," He said.

We walked beside each other chatting for an other few minutes, then I came to the door of my last class. I stopped to say goodbye when Megan walked up from the other direction, waving at us.

" This is my class. I'll see you later," I said.

" Hay Elli," said Megan as she walked in, in front of me.

At that moment I caught Dylan checking her out with a big grin nodding his head. I smiled and gave a small laugh at his open behavior.

" Go to class Dylan," I teased and walked into class.

*****************************************************************************

" SHOTGUN!" Shouted Megan as she ran across the yard like a five year old from her heavy school bag, with the books nearly bulging out of it.

" I can't believe I never noticed how cute she is before," Said Dylan as he pulled down his sunglasses to get a better view of her as she ran to the car.

" And that ass-"

" DYLAN!" I scolded surprised as I slapped his arm.

" What! I'm just stating the truth," He said.

We followed behind her.

" So tell me Elli, Dose she like musicals?" He asked.

" What. Where did that come from," I asked.

Sighing from aggravation he looked away not wanting to answer.

" Could you just answer the question?" He asked.

" Yeah. After soccer they're like her life. She really like Annie, hairspray, grease and the west side story," I told him with a tint of suspicion in my voice.  

" Perfect," He said grinning and showing off those perfect pearly whites.

" What are you going to do?" I asked.

" You'll see," He said.

We stopped talking as we got close to the car. Megan was waiting in the passenger side for us. He slipped into the drivers seat next to her and I got in the back. He started up the car and pulled out of the parking space and left the car park. He reached across to the glove box and pulled out the aux cord. He took out his phone and plugged it in and scrolled down his music.

" Please don't turn I really like you again?" I begged.

Ignoring me he turned to Megan.

" You be sandy," He said looking at her.

We both looked at him in confusion.

" I be what?" She asked.

Just at that a familiar beat erupted into the car and the confused look on her face turned to one of thrill. I never get any of the words right so I can never sing along with her to her favorite songs from musicals. The strum of a guitar, the  follow up of a piano and the soft music from a tambourine combined to give that relaxed flow to her all time favorite song.

" Summer lovin, had me a blast-" He sang.

I was amazed at how good he was, given his awful singing from earlier.

" Summer lovin, happened so fast," she joined in.

They sang together for the whole song, with lots of passion and air punching. I could not help smiling. That had to be the most adorable thing I had ever seen. Don't get me wrong I love Brison and I could never say anything wrong about him and he did made me feel like a million bucks, but what Dylan just was one of the most romantic and sweetest things ever done. My face nearly hurt from smiling. He was going to make one hell of a boyfriend if she says yes.

***************************************************************************

I looked across the dark parking lot light with street lights. I could see Brison, Dylan and the rest of his pack. Tonight They were coming to asses me and I would met them after for the first time. They all gave a friendly wave. I was waiting on Megan when the other schools bus pulled up. They were our ultimate rivals. I gritted my teeth trying not to look at them. They all got off the bus and their cheer captain, Ericka Holligan,  made her way over to me, with an attitude in her walk that screamed tramp. 

" You've gained weight," She said with spite. 

" How's your cousin?" I asked, referring to the time she slept with her cousin before she knew who he was. 

She huffed from embarrassment. 

" We're going to kick your ass," She said coming up into my face. 

It was then Megan ran up to us and shoved her away. She stood in front of me, with her hand on her chest keeping her from coming any closer. 

" Back off Holligan. Go get changed before you find an other cousin to sleep with," She said and spinning on her heel she marched off embarrassed. She spun back around and glared at us. 

" It was just one time," She screamed. 

" I'm sure he prays to GOD thanking him that it was only one time as well. Come on Ellie," She said putting her hand on her back and directed for us to leave. I could not help but think how very similar that insult that was to what Dylan said earlier. We walked into the changing rooms and got ready. Once we were all dressed we made our way out into the tunnel. I checked my shoe laces one last time, just to be safe, I did not want anything going wrong. I stood back up and tightened my hair in my pony tale. I walked over to Megan who was in front of her team as she was captain and got ready to run out with her. My stomach twisted with excitement and nerve. I looked to Megan who looked more then determined. As we were playing our rival school, tension was high and Megan hates their captain. We all do, she is a bitch, but Megan and her are rivals. She turned to me and I already knew what she was going to say.

" Alright. Lets do it and get it over with," She said bracing herself, waiting for our superstitious ritual, before every game she has. Everyone stopped like they do every time. They all find it lucky too. Begin captain of the cheerleaders, I run out with all the teams, but I only do this with her. Why? I do not really know why we kept it but, we did it at our very first game together and we won with a record breaking score for our school, so she said it was only smart we keep doing it. It dose not work for every game, but none the less, both of us feel better if we do it. I put both of my pom poms into my left hand and slapped her across the face and got ready for mine and then it came with a familiar smack with rang throughout the tunnel and like always all the other girls cheered, getting ready. We both looked back at them. The mascot walked out of the dressing rooms and up beside me. There were cheer leaders both sides of them team. I could see two cheerleaders stood just outside the tunnel holding up our banner which we run through out onto the field. It was late so I could see the lights. They began to play music. This time it was party rock anthem. We usually pick songs that get the crowd excited. We waited until the beat was about to start running so me and Megan ran through the banner at the right moment. We burst though it and the crowd went crazy. Every one was standing and cheering. The team kept running to the middle of the field but the cheerleaders made their way in front of the crowd. I walked down along the line of my cheerleaders until I reached the middle. I bet you are wondering about our face slapping tradition, well before our first game, we were both so nervous, that we smacked each other to calm each other down. At first everyone though it was strange, but when it started to bring us luck, they all jumped on the band wagon and it has since been something that gets everyone excited, because....school spirit, that's why. 

The other team ran out onto the field and we all stood for the national anthem. After the national anthem both teams ran back to the benches to go back over their game plan one last time. It is now that the cheerleaders start to get the crowd excited. Our school is famous for our cheer team as we do things a little differently, we sing popular song from the charts as our chants and do some hip hop. Because of this we usually get a few extra minutes before the game to give a good performance. The cameras from the local news station were all set up and we were about to start. I picked up my microphone and we moved back out further onto the field for more room. I looked up into the crowd to see Brison, Dylan, Mavric and other people from Brisons pack. I was meeting them tonight for the first time so I was determined to do extra well. I wove to the crowd along with my team. I turned to face my team and the crowd fell silent as they knew we were about to begin. I directed for them to get into place and turned back to the crowd. 

" LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, ARE YOU READY TO SEE NORTH HIGHS GIRLS KICK SOME ASS?" I asked and they cheered. 

" ARE YOU READY TO SEE THEM RULE THE WORLD?"

" LETS HEAR IT TEAM. WHO RUN THE WORLD?"

" GIRLS," They answered back. 

" I SAID, WHO RUN THE WORLD?" 

" GIRLS," They shouted and the music started. I dropped my micro phone and began to dance with my team. We danced until the after the first chorus and the dance ended with me doing back flips down along the team and finishing in the splits with an other girl doing the same to me in the other direction. They crowd stood and clapped and cheered. I looked up to see Brison smiling brightly and the rest of the pack, I had not really met yet looking very impresses. I felt smug with myself that it had gone so well. We bowed to the crowd as the teams ran out onto the field and Megan made her way into the middle for the coin toss. The game started with her taking the ball and scoring. We all stood and screamed in amazement. That was fast. The game ended quickly with us winning 4-1. My team and I ran out onto the field next to the soccer team and waving to the crowd we ran back into the tunnel like after every game. We got our bags and made our way back out into the parking lot. Once we got out, Dylan was waiting for Megan. He was going to distract her while I met the pack. He slipped his arm around her waist and led her away to his car. He was going to be giving her a ride home. I was staying at Brisons house tonight. I walked over next to Brison and caught hold of his hand. He looked down and smiled. Taking me into his arms his kissed me. My melted into his arms. He pulled away and turned to look at his pack. 

" Guys, This is Ellianna. You're luna," He said. 

" You're what," I asked quietly. 

Leaning down to my ear, he whispered. 

" The Alpha's mate is called a luna," He said. 

" Oh-wait, you're the Alpha-" 

" You did an excellent job this evening," Said one of the people from the crowd around me. 

" Thank you. Did you all have a nice time?" I asked. 

They all nodded and answered yes. 

" Enjoy the game?" 

I was answered the same way. 

" So what do you think of the whole-" Said a man, leaning in close as not to be heard. 

" Werewolf thing?" He finished. 

" Well, I'm a little amazed to think that you're real, but I love Brison, so it doesn't matter," I said gazing up into his beautiful blue eyes and I could see how he was touched by me saying that. 

" Are you going to come to our next pack meeting?" Asked some one. 

" I'd love to," I answered. 

" Well it's getting late so we're going to head on home. Selena and Mavric, You're patrolling Hanagans valley and Rosie and Stella, you're patrolling dead mans rock," He said and they all left, getting into expensive looking cars and drove off. 

He took my hand and led me over to his car. He opened my door and I got in. He closed it and went and got into the drivers side. Once he started up the car he turned on the heating as it was a little cold. I relaxed into the warm leather seats. We drove down the long dark lonely road, with the woods to our right. Despite the fact that so far we were the only car on this road, I felt strangely safe. It must have been because I was with Brison. I was looking out the window and Brison turned on the radio. Thank fully, it was not a musical number or I really like you. It was haunted by Beyonce, the 50 shades of grey remix. For some reason, it made my heart beat a little faster. With out any warning, a hand was placed gently on my thigh. I gasped from surprise. I looked over to him, He was leaning back in his seat, with one hand sitting on the wheel. He looked to chill. His hand began to go further and with out really meaning to, I parted my legs. He slipped his hand down and I could feel him through my under wear. I could not breathe. A small moan escaped my lips. 

" Brison," I moaned. 

Just then We pulled up to his house, he turned into the garage and he stopped the car. He got out calmly and very causally walked around and opened my door. I unfastened my belt. He held out his hand and helped me get out of the car. Once I was standing next to him He pulled me closer by slipping his arm around my waist. We walked up to the house and in. He closed the door behind us and once it was closed, he spun around and pinned me up against it, as he kissed me. 

" You looks so hot in that little uniform," He said. 

" Are your parents home?" I asked out of breath. 

Grinning as he looked at my lips, he answered. 

" Nope. It's just you and me,"
