"Try this one," Sarah said as she threw a dress towards me.

"How long is this gonna take?" I whined.

"Just do it!"

I huffed and walked into the bathroom to change into my dress for the tenth time. Today is the ceremony where I will be introduced to the pack as Hunter's mate. Lillian has been setting this up all week, which I'm grateful for so she's a bit more, excited than the rest of us.

Amy is now six weeks into her pregnancy and is doing pretty well so far, despite all the puking. So far, she has gone into the 'I-need-ice-cream-now' mode. Sam, however, is being very, and I mean very overprotective. He wouldn't let Amy climb the stairs, saying that she could 'damage the baby'.

So far this whole week, I've gotten closer to Sam, Sarah and Hunter. Although I miss Dylan, every time I tried to talk to him, he was always either with Sarah, John or Sam. And whenever he would try to talk to me, I would be with either Sarah, Sam or Hunter.

Sarah and I would usually jog around the pack together in the afternoon. We invite Lisa and Amy but Sam isn't allowing Amy and Lisa are just too lazy. After our jog around the pack, we would usually race back home in our wolf forms.

Sam has been trying to catch me up on the marvel cinematics every night. We would watch one movie every night or Hunter would come and carry me out of the room. Tonight, we're watching Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

As for Hunter and I, well it's been a week since we've marked each other and we've gotten closer together. We usually spend an hour cuddling and just talking to each other and I love it.

Speaking of us marking each other, it was pretty hectic when the girls found out.

"Emma, wake up!"

A familiar voice said as they shook my shoulders, causing me to groan and turn over. I ignored the voice, hoping it would go away and snuggled back into my bed.

The voice let out a tired sigh and got off me, making me smile in my sleep.

"Time for Plan B" The voice muttered and before I knew it, I was drenched in water.

I opened my eyes and sat up straight on my bed, glaring at Sarah who was staring at my neck.

"I can see why you and Dylan are mates," I grumbled, remembering my birthday.

"What are you staring at?" I asked confused when she wouldn't talk.

"You got your mark!" Sarah squealed causing, what sounded like an earthquake to rumble throughout the house. Suddenly, the door was kicked opened and before I knew it, I was tackled back into my previous position by Lisa and Amy, who were squealing in my ear.

"Why are you taking so long?" Sarah's voice rang, interrupting me from my thoughts. I let out a sigh and open the bathroom door, to be judged.

"That's it!"

"That's the one!"

"Perfect!"

"Gorgeous!"

"Can I borrow that?"

"Mom, I don't think it would fit you."

"Are you calling me fat?"

"Finally!" I said as I collapsed on my bed. However, I was pulled back up by Sarah and Lisa, who had looks of determination in their eyes.

"No, it's time for us to do your makeup."

"Hey, what do we get to do?" Amy questioned.

"Her hair."

"Now let's get on it."

-----

"Where is she?" Hunter asked impatiently.

The whole day he's been kept from seeing his mate by helping his mother with the ceremony, and now, he's home to be told that his mate needs five more minutes to look pretty.

He didn't care if she came out in rags, he'd love her the same anyway.

"Just shut up and wait, she's coming," Sarah said as she ran down the stairs. She then cleared her throat before imitating a deep voice and saying,

"Introducing the one, the only, Emma Lee Jones."

That was when Emma walked down that staircase in a dress that made Hunter want to take her right there.

She wore a cherry blossom dress, as her favourite flowers were cherry blossoms. The dress was sleeveless and was up to knee length, angering Hunter a bit. Though she was his mate and he knew his pack wouldn't be dumb enough to hit on her. If not, then he would have to teach them the hard way.

She stood in front of Hunter, nervous about how he would react.

There were no words to describe her beauty, so I thought best if I showed her

Hunter made her way towards his mate and pulled her in for a deep kiss, causing the rest of the girls to squeal.

Seconds later, Hunter pulled away and stared down at his mate.

"You look---

"I know, I know," Sarah said, interrupting Hunter.

"I did the make-up."

I rolled my eyes as Sarah began to boast towards the girls. I looked up to Hunter who was glaring at his sister.

He then noticed I was staring at him, and squeezed my hand causing me to smile.

"Come on guys, let's go. The party has already started."

Sarah, Amy and Lisa pushed through us, heading towards the front door. I stumbled a bit before catching onto Hunter's shirt.

Hunter then grabbed onto my hand, intertwined them before pulling me towards the front door. We walked out and headed straight towards the packs center. As Hunter lead the way, I stared at our intertwined hands and smiled, causing my nerves to ease up a bit.

I guess my nervousness was quite visible as Hunter squeezed my hand reassuringly.

"You ready?"

"Ready as I'll ever be."

I gave him a small smile and pecked his cheek. He shook his head before pulling me closer towards him and leaning in for a kiss.

"There you are!"

Hunter groaned as Lillian made her way towards us, bouncing up and down with excitement.

"I want to introduce to you."

Before I knew it, I was pulled away from Hunter's side and being dragged by Lillian. She finally stopped in front of a group of beautiful ladies, who all looked to be in their mid-forties.

"Ladies, this is my son's mate, Emma."

All the ladies gasped before bombarding me with questions, making it hard for me to keep up.

"Our future Luna!"

"She's so pretty!"

"How did you guys meet?"

"Did you guys mark each other yet?"

"Did you guys mate?"

"Well--

"Emma, there you are!"

Dylan pushed through the crowds of ladies and ended up in front of me.

"We need to talk!"

I turned to Lillian, who got the message and nodded her head. I nodded and we both walked away from the ladies and ended up sitting on a bench at the edge of the party.

"Things have been different since--

"There you guys are!" Amy said as she walked towards us.

"It's time to introduce you."

Amy grabbed both of our wrists and dragged us towards the platform where Hunter was standing. She then pushed us onto the platform, making me stumble a bit. Hunter then walked towards us in silence, grabbed my wrist and raised it in the air.

"May I present, my mate, your Beta's sister and this pack's future luna, Emma Lee Jones

The crowd of pack members gasped in shocked before letting out cheers and yells of excitement, making me blush and look down. Hunter then let go of my wrist and walked towards Dylan, raised his hand in the air.

"And my sister, Sarah's mate, Dylan Grace Johnson."

The crowd yelled out cheers of excitement as we got off the platform. We were surrounded by all the pack members who were all yelling out at the same time, it was hard to make out what they said.

"We finally have a luna!"

"This is so cool!"

"I can't believe she's Sam's sister!"

"I didn't know Sam had a sister!"

"They look alike."

"What, no they don't!"

"Are you dumb?!"

"I can't believe Sarah found her mate!"

"And a hot one too!"

"How did they meet?"

"Our future luna is so pretty!"

At the last comment, Hunter put his hand around my waist and growled lowly.

Suddenly, a pack warrior made his way in front of the pack members, all sweaty as if he's been running.

Hunter quickly dismissed the pack members so that only Hunter and I were there.

"Alpha, there is a rouge--

"What?!" Hunter growled, pulling me close to his chest.

"He's already been captured." The warrior said quickly.

"Though, it's weird as he's a kid, about twelve years old. He keeps insisting to meet you."

Hunter's arm left my waist and he let out a deep sigh.

"Emma, stay here while I go deal with this."

"What? No, I wanna come."

"Why in the world would you want to leave the party to see a kid rouge?"

"Because I was a rouge," I said with a sigh, "And I'm scared he became a rouge the same way I did."

"Emma--

"Come on Hunter, I won't do anything. I just wanna see the kid."

"Alpha," The warrior interrupted, "I don't mean to interrupt but the doctor had just given the kid an injection to calm him down as he's freaking out."

Hunter let out a deep sigh and ran his fingers through his hair before glancing back at my puppy dog eyes.

"Alright--

"Thank you!" I squealed.

"But no leaving my side, alright?"

I nodded quickly and pecked his cheek. He let out a chuckle and kissed my forehead before turning back to the warrior, who looked utterly shocked. Hunter nodded to the guard as he regained his composure before leading the way.

We followed behind him as he led us towards a small cabin, which had nothing other than a door inside. The warrior took out a pair of keys and unlocked the door before stepping out of the way, letting us through.

Hunter intertwined our hands and squeezed them tightly before leading the way through the dark, creepy room which leads downstairs.

Thanks to Hunter's alpha blood and me being a white wolf, we were able to see clearly in the dark.

At the end of the staircase, there were cells across from one another, thankfully all empty. Well, all except one.

In the first cell there laid a young boy, no older than twelve curled up in a ball, leaning against the wall.

I couldn't quite get a look on his face as his head was buried in between his legs though I could tell he had light brown hair, which was covered in dust.

"There he is." The warrior said.

The boy looked up from his legs, letting us see his face and I gasp in shock.

"Liam!"
