“That’s completely beside the point, you could of gotten killed. You can’t even heal yourself when there’s a full moon. Only an dumb ass would fight a second ranking Alpha.” His breathing was heavy making his muscles move.

    “Oh so now I’m the dumb ass, well I didn’t take on a who pack of rouges by…my….self” dragging it out and adding more fire to it. A few Alpha’s snickered low and he growled at them.
    “Don’t take it out on them, cause you’re the dumb ass.” folding my arms across my chest.
    “Weather or not I’m the ass or not has nothing to do with you getting hurt.”
    “Big deal, so I have a few scratches.” He ragged at this.
    “Its is a big deal, it’s a big deal to me. I’m suppose to protect you, nothing bad is ever suppose to happen when your around me.” His voice was starting to crack, he wasn’t going to last much longer. I pushed him a little more.

    “So your suppose to protect me, keep me safe never let anything happen to me as long as I live. Is that what your telling me?” Snapping and getting angry with him.
    “Yes that’s exactly what I’m telling you.” Yelling back. I smiled and walked up to him. Wrapping my hand around his neck and pulling his face to mine. Pushing my lips on his as hard as I could. Forcing him to kiss me back, before pushing him away.

    “Good, then you’ll do better next time.” Grinning and walking up stairs.
His baffled look had other laughing quietly and my father and Sam just looked at each other. I heard him growl from the bottom step before he started taking two at a time. I didn’t make it to the top step, he picked me up bride style and walked off down the hall,
    “Matias, what the?”
    “Just stop talking, every time you talk you get me all mixed up.” I smiled but kept quiet. He kicked the door to his room open and walked in, kicking it closed.

Down stairs my father and Sam were having a glass of whisky.

“You know she’s gunna be the death of him.” Sam ginned taking a sip.
“I don’t doubt that for a second. But that‘s his problem now.” Clicking glasses with Sam as they both laughed.

Back in Matias room he had gently put me on the bed and was sitting with his back to me.
    “Are you going to say something?” I raised a finger to me, to be quiet. This was going no where fast. He would look at me ever so many seconds and frown then look away.

~Talk to her, this is weird~ His wolf barked in.
   
~ shut up, I’m thinking.~ grumbling. Oh have mercy, I can’t do this anymore.

“What are you thinking about?” He glared at me.

~She’s not going to lay there forever~ wolf rang again.

“He’s right, I’m gunna take a shower now.” Getting off the bed, Matias shot his head towards me and looked pale.

“What did you say?” getting up.
“I said he’s right” smiling and pulling my top off, making him blush. It wasn’t enough to distract him.
“Who’s he?” Glaring and trying to keep his eyes on my face.

“Your wolf” Dropping the shorts. His face froze, when I stood naked in front of him. He had completely forgotten what I just said. Laughing I walked into the bath room and turned the tub on, all I really wanted to do was soak up some heat.

“My wolf?” I heard from the bedroom, soon he was standing next to me.

“Yea” Smiling. And adding bubbles to my bath, it got all white and fluffy really quit. How I love baths, there like hot springs only with bubbles and no other weird people.
Sticking my foot in the water, it was perfect and I settled in. He stared at me wanting to know more, but couldn’t stop looking at me. Blowing bubbles at him, he frowned.
    “I’m serious Luna” Ignoring the bubbles on his chest. I however wasn’t, it looked even more sexy.
    “I’ll tell you if you get in” Smirking and blowing my at him.
    “I’m not getting in” thinning his eyes out.

    “Aww, your no fun.” pouting and making him feel bad.
    “Luna what about my wolf?” Standing up the bubbles and water slowly dripped down my body. His mouth opening only to close when he realizes what he’s doing.
    “Come hear” Whispering and looking around like someone else was hear. “it’s a secret” he took a step forward, enough for me to grab him and pull him in with me. The water splashed everywhere and he came up soaked.
    “Damn it Luna” Spitting water out. I laughed. The tub was huge so there wasn’t any reason for him not to get in.

    “You wanna know now?” Looking like I hadn’t just dunked him in the water with his pants on.
    “Yes I want to know” Growling. I paused as he wiped his face off. Moving over to his and sitting on his chest.
    “I can hear you.” smiling.
    “Hear me?”
    “Yup, I can hear you and your wolf talking to each other.” He surprised face was just as stunning as everything else about hit.
    “No you can’t” Glaring at me.
    “No? Then say something you and him only know about” Flashing my eyes.
    “Fine”

~Umm what are we suppose to say?~

~I dunno, but there’s no way she can hear us, so just say something stupid~ Matias replies.

“Say something stupid huh?” Grinning and leaning back so the water covers my body.

“Lucky guess” Growling.
“Why don’t you believe me?”
“Because there hasn’t been a mate bond between us, so there’s no way you can hear me. I can’t hear you.” I signed cause he had a point.
“Maybe you don’t want to hear me” Making a sad face, he about jumped.
“Of course I do”

~Hell I wanna do more then hear her, I want to taste her, touch her and every other dirty thing I can think of~ his wolf growled.

“Your wolf has a dirty mind.” plainly
“Yea he does…….wait what?” Pulling me to him.
“I said he has a dirty mind. He said he wanted to taste, touch and everything else that was dirty to me.” Blinking and smiling at him.
He let go and sat back, paler then usual.

~Shit she can hear us~
“Yes I can” tilting my head and giggling, this was fun. Can’t believe I almost died. This would have been a waste.

“How long?” was all he could ask.

“A while, not sure…oh wait no when we were in your place.” nodding like I got it right.

“Which time?”
“The time you two said I looked better in green panties” He turned red.

    “You’ve been ease dropping on my thoughts for that long?”
    “Hey don’t get mad at me, I don’t even know how I did it”
    “You’ve been tormenting me this whole time?”
    “What how do you figure?”
    “Listening to my thoughts and making me go the way you wanted me to.” He was heating the bath up, felt good.

    “Oh give me a break, you had it coming anyways.”
    “What, how the hell did you get that?” Glowing dark gold eyes.
    “You left those chains on me, you smacked my ass when you came to get me at Sam’s place, you toyed with me throughout your stay with me, and you were a totally dick the first month or so. Who rips the door off a fridge, really come on.”  he was stuck, guessing I wouldn’t have anything on him.

    “See this is what I’m talking about, every time you talk. This must how you get inside my head and mess with me.”
“Oh my god, I don’t get anything out of you and your wolf. I’m just that good naturally. No skills needed.” Sticking my hands up and fake looking at my nails.
    “Err your such a….” Cutting him off.
    “What? I’m a what? I know I’ll tell you before your wolf tells you. You can’t get enough of me, your hooked. You love teasing me and making me blush, kissing me makes your blood run wild and hot. You can’t take how I know you better then you know yourself, and worse of all your having a hell of a time figuring out how to get me to be your mate.” leaning on his chest, and looking into his big beautiful eyes. When he didn’t respond I got annoyed, and climbed out. Grabbing a towel and leaving him to think.

I’m not a difficult woman, I don’t ask for much. Shit all I really want is the truth and the brain power not to mess with me. If you have those and your breathing, your golden. I was done, he needed to make up his own mind. I wasn’t going to be playing this game anymore. I was tired and I almost flippin died, if that’s not a damn wake up call I don’t know what is.
I left his room and went to mine, putting on clean clothes. Drying my hair more and pulling it into a pony. Grabbing my wallet and a my keys. Heading down stairs, and running into Sam.
    “Luna?”

    “Hey Sam, I’m going home. Give Matias a ride when you leave would yea.” Going down without letting him answer. He watched me go without a word. My dad was saying good by to a few Alphas when I walked up to him.
    “Hey daddy” Kissing his cheek.
    “Luna, you should be resting.”
    “Nah, I’m going home now.” Hugging him.
    “So soon?”

    “Yea I need to get my shit straight. I love you dad.” Walking out the door. He watched without stopping. My dad is a really good man, he’s not the Monarch for nothing. He’s an even better father, knowing when to be firm and when to just let you do it your way. Trusting my judgment is something I love about him the most. Starting my truck and heading out, I pushed the rear view mirror up. He’s gunna have to work for it. Shaking my head and turning my radio on.

    “Ohhh Bruno mars, locked out of heaven.” Turning the sound all the way.
Tapping the steering wheel and leaving the pack house. Hitting the hwy and heading home.
Matias had gotten out of the tub when he heard the door open and close. Changing into dry clothes and then sitting on his bed, a knock came and he rushed over to open it.
    “Lu…” Stopping when he saw Sam
    “You really are a dumb ass.” Shaking his head and signing.
    “What are you talking about?” Getting annoyed.
    “Luna left” Throwing his thumb behind him.
    “WHAT!” grabbing him.

    “Not this again. I don’t know what you said or didn’t say. But Luna can only handle playing games for so long.” He put him down and Sam brushed his clothes off.
    “I need to get her” Leaving.
    “Never gunna happen.” leaning against the wall.
    “Why?” turning just his head to Sam.
    “Cause that girl is a heck of a driver, well never catch her at this rate. Besides your sports car is still at my house. So yea…” pushing off the wall, and walking past Matias tapping his shoulder.
    “Come on.” they walked down the stairs, but Matias stopped at my bedroom door. Smelling my sent from the room.

    “Come on man.” Yelling from the stairs.
He went with Sam and they said their goodbyes to the Monarch. But before they left the Monarch pulled Matias aside.
    “Sir”
    “Let me give you some advice on woman, son. There’re confusing as hell, hard on your nerve and difficult to please. But if your lucky enough to find one who is so madly in love with you, you should find a way to make her the happiest woman alive. My daughter is all these things, and much more. She can have a temper, but she’s faithful, and she’s been eyeing you ever since you saw her wolf. She trusts you fully, I’d say your even with Sam” Smacking him on the back before walking away.
Sam had his black truck in idol outside waiting for Matias. Once outside they headed back home.

I was a quarter of the way home. When my wolf started talking.

~ Where is mate?~
~There is no mate~
~why?~
~Because he’s hopeless~
~We need are mate, he completes us~
~yea I no, but well find another mate, one who’s not so damn stubborn~ Sighing and turning the radio on trying to forget about what I know I wanted.
It took till I hit a little traffic for me to flip out, like a mad woman.

“That stupid dumb ass, I swear to god he’s thick skulled. HE wants me for his mate, but he can’t say anything to my face. Mate…Mine he says moron. You have to do more then say, act fool ….ACT!” Slamming the steering wheel. I felt a little better, but the poor kid in the car next to me looked like he shit himself. I waved hoping it would make it better, but he cried.

“Great now I terrorize children.” Pulling forward and trying to keep my eyes to myself.


Nine hours later I was home, father had the placed cleaned and you’d never known I ripped a man apart hear. Tossing my keys in the bowl and looking in the fridge, looked like shit. Walked in my bath room, staring in the mirror. That just annoyed me, so I headed to my room. Laying on my bed face up, it took only three seconds.
   
“Nope, can’t do it. Still freaks me out.” Leaving the room and grabbing my keys. Heading back to my truck and leaving, this was just to much. I needed a good stiff drink, heading to the bar. Pulling into what they called “The watering hole” more like shit hole. Half the neon’s were out and more bikers hung around then normal people. Passing a few men holding drinks I entered the smoky, loud bar. I went hear for two reasons, they were cheap and knew how to make my favorite drink.
