Finishing the last bite, and brushing my hands off. I started with some stretches. Today was going to be more about working on balance, instead of power. As much as I hate to say it yoga and pilates is the best. I had just gotten done doing everything from the swan dive to roll ups. Thank god this ground was soft, standing up I spread my feet apart and stuck my arms straight out. Leaves started to rustle and I stopped. Walking across my meadow was a tall handsome man, his eyes the same as Matias’s. Build was similar as well, he held himself with power and intensity.
    It was his smell that took me off guard. It was a mixture of rogue and Matias.

That the hell is going on.


   
    “Who are you?” I snapped holding my ground. I have every right to bark at him, I am the Alpha’s mate.
    “Well now, I’m hurt. Dear Matias hasn’t told you about me” He had this overwhelming sad look on his face, yet it was evil.
    “State your business here” Growling. He was standing a few feet from me.
    “I’m hear to see you dear Luna” Grinning, his hands at his side. He was calm, but I could smell the dried blood on him.

    “What for?” Relaxing just a little bit.
    “Oh I’m hurt dear Luna, did Matias not ask your hand in marriage?” Smiling as he took another step to me. My ring caught the light and shimmered.
    “Aww how stunning” Taking my hand and looking it over. His touch was something I didn’t want, but I wouldn’t start the fight first.
    “Is there something you want?….” Waiting for a name.
    “Stefan, is my name. And yes I would like what is rightfully mine.” Flashing his eyes.
Something’s off hear….why can’t I…..my brain took over and I flashed back to Matias and I talking on the phone.


“Do you have any siblings?”
“Yes” He growled.


Holy shit!

    “Your Matias’s brother” Almost at a yell. He clapped his hands slowly.
    “Very good, your going to make a fine Luna” His evil smirk sent my body into over drive.
    “I’ll ask you again, what do you want?” Sliding my foot away to get a better stance.
    “I already answered that question. But I suppose you want more detail…yes?”
    “Don’t mock me” Growling and letting my wolf take a better look at him. He took a step back.   
    “Calm yourself dear Luna, I have no intention of attacking….yet” I growled louder, threats do not go un punished by me.

    “What are you talking about?”
    “I have a parting gift for my dear brother. Do tell him I said hello…along with all my friends” Walking backwards. The smell of Rogues was everywhere. Things moved threw the trees and flashed back and forth all around me.

Son of a bitch, how’d they get in here…..wolfs bane…fuck.

The hairs on the back of my neck stood up, my wolf wanted blood.

~Kill them….kill all of them~ she hissed looking around with me.
~Enough, we need to warn Matias~
~We need to kill them, there bodies need to bleed out~ growling.
~Stop it, you will get your chance. Don’t go blood thirsty on me yet.~ Closing her off and seeing they all were gone.

I made it to the house in no time, my legs felt like they were on fire, as I bust threw the back door into the kitchen. A group was eating a laughing. The twins, Jeff, Davis and Tony were all talking when I came in looks sweaty and pale.
    “Good work out?” Jeff asked
    “WHERE IS MATIAS?” Growling. They took a step back. I didn’t care how it sounded, he kept this from me.

    “Office” Tony said pointing. I took off running and took the steps four at a time. Banging his door open, he had half a sandwich in his mouth.
    “Luna what gives?” Putting the food down. I slammed the door down.
    “DAMN YOU!” Growling at him.
    “Luna?” He stood up.
    “Why? Why didn’t you tell me you had a brother named Stefan?” His eyes grew four sizes bigger and he made his way to me. Grabbing my shoulders and holding me up.
    “Who…who told you?”
    “No one, he came to see me” shaking. I felt his hands grip me tighter.
    “Where? When?”

    “Today in the meadow. He had a fleet of rogues, a fucking fleet.” I could hardly stand at this point.
    “Did he touch you? Are you hurt” Looking me over.
    “No, he just looked at the ring” He nodded and pulled me into a hug.
    “Forgive me”
    “I will when you tell me what the hell is going on?” His heavy sigh, told me he would tell me but it wasn’t going to be a happy story. Grabbing a chair he had me sit in it. Then he moved himself to the long sofa, leaning his head back against the top.
    “Where do you want me to start?”
    “The beginning” as my shaking slowed down.

It took a good three minutes for him to compose himself, and get everything in his head straight. Then like he felt ready, he leaned forward and rubbed both his hands threw his hair.

    “We were young, really young. It was my little sister Linda, and my brother Stefan. I was the oldest, our father was the Alpha of are pack. Linda was five years old, and looked like are mom. Stunning black hair with blue eyes. Stefan was thirteen and off at boarding school.” sighing he had me completely into what he was saying, this was the first time he had opened up about his family.
    “Are father was extremely busy, do to the Monarch coming to town. It was my father’s point of pride to insure the safety of the Monarch. He had every wolf on guard, including me. We were attacked some point in the early morning, father stayed next to the Monarch protecting him. I was suppose to stay with our sister, but my father was getting attacked by every angle." He took a deep breath before going on.

  "I thought she was safe where she was, I wanted to fight along side my father. To prove I was good enough to lead like him. I never thought more Rogues would be coming, Linda's screams could be heard over all the growls and snarling. It was then that I had helped saved the Monarchs life, only to lose my sisters." His face went stone white, giving me a chill that I didn't like. Moving to his side taking a hand, I tried to comfort him as best I could.

" Once all was cleared and my sister was laid to rest" His voice cracked, breaking my heart further.

"The Monarch thanked my father and our pack, he was even so touched with ablility to fight he offered me a gift. It was one thing in which I wanted. Truth be told I didn't want anything but my sister, but that wasn't possible...so I did the next best thing." A heavy hand rubbed his face as a deep breath passed light pink lips.

"What did you ask for?" I was on the edge of my damn seat."I asked to be trained by the Monarch's special forces, that way this would never happen again"

Matias went on to tell me about how he was accepted into the Monarch's training program, and his father was left to continue holding the Alpha's position. He explained that the tasts he was given were brutal to the point of almost punishment, and in someway he new he deserved them. Expressing the dangers he faced while trying to keep a clear head had proved to be his more greater challenge, but he was more interested in the West side court yard. To which he wasn't suppose to go. Being a young man and still very much interested in the things he wasn't suppose to know or have, Matias was giving a day of rest- he took such a day to climb a large over hanging tree on the West side.

"It wasn't like I wanted to get into trouble, but curiously got the better of me." He said looking me in the eyes.

The detail he was speaking of made my mouth go dry, it was as if he was the only other soul in the world. Speaking of the gardens and the small looking girl who was training with an over sized teen.

"He was harsh with her, pushing her body and wolf to a breaking point. When she cried I nearly lept from my hiding spot to comforter her. I haven't a clue to who she was, or why she was kept in the West side Court. But that man made me angry, and I wanted nothing more then to punch his face in" Matias hissed, his eyes turning slightly blacker. Every tiny detail about the girl and the teen man brought another painful realization to me.....I was that girl.

"She spoke to me once, I'd slipped a bit and she guarded herself well. Holding her ground and even a small snarl passed her lips. It was so mesmerizing I couldn't do anything but stair."

"Matias....I need to tell you something" His face turned, taking in mine.

"What is it?" A little worry flash threw his eyes, but I brushed it off.

"That girl.....was me" If I had to describe the look on his face, it would be one of shook and admiration. It took almost no time at all for his lips to push over mine, engulfing me in the sweet bliss of his everything.

"That was you? And.....who was that man?" His voice hissed at the man. Chuckling my hand touched his cheek, further calming him and wolf down.

“I’m a killer fighter Matias. The trainer you saw was a younger Shooter. My father had ordered he teach and protect me.”  Matias looked sick, for some reason.

    “You mean to tell me, that trainer you were fighting with was Shooter?”
    “Yes, although back then he went by his real name. Shane” Matias nodded and I took a deep breath.
    “Okay, so your brother Stefan is pissed, cause you got the Alpha spot. And because he thinks you’re the reason your sister is gone. Now what I need to know is, what are we going to do?” I was calm, maybe to calm.
    “I’m not sure, Stefan is a twisted man. He could be planning anything. I just know he wants you and the Alpha title. From now on you will have a guard with you, no matter what”
    “Matias, please don’t. I don’t need..”

    “This isn’t up for discussion Luna. I need to know your safe, and not off getting into trouble” He was giving me no room for argument. Sighing, I nodded.
    “Thank you” Rubbing his hands threw his hair.
    “So what now? We just sit around and wait?”
    “No, I have a meeting with your father, in two days. I will bring it up with him as well.”
    “Wait your leaving?”
    “Yes, I just got off the phone with him.” He watched me.
    “Oh, How long?” I didn’t want him to go.
    “A few days, nothing long” 

This explains the guard, he would of watched me himself if he didn’t have to leave. Feeling a little tired and nauseas, I got up. Everything started spinning, and I blinked a few times.
    “I’m going to lay down” I say trying to hid my worry.
    “Are you alright?”

    “Yes, just tired. Been a long day” Smiling and heading for the door.
    “Okay, let me know if you need anything” Getting to his feet, and planting a kiss on my lips, before I walked out. With the door closed, another wave of sickness filled my body. My head was pounding and my blood felt like it was on fire. Instead of heading to my room, I went to the doc. Knocking on her door, I heard the soft voice answer me.
    “Come in”  I pushed the door open.
    “Oh Hello Luna” She said smiling.

    “Hi, Doc…” Looking around the room for her brother Hunter.
    “Something the matter?” She asked turning her chair around.
    “Umm, is Hunter in hear?”
    “No, he went downstairs for some food” I nodded and took a seat on the bed.
    “Can you do me a favor?”
    “Sure” She looked a little worried.
    “Take some blood for testing” sticking my arm out for her to take a needle to it.
    “Is something wrong?” She asked while putting on a pair of gloves.
    “Umm, I don’t think so. But I have a suspicion”  Unwrapping a new needle she pushed the tip into my arm. The blood trickled into the tub and she pulled it back out. Covering the hole and making he hold it, till it healed.

    “What am I looking for?” She asked, holding just the tube.
    “Ummm,” I bit my lip. She nodded.
    “Say no more” Placing the tube in a cylinder and pushing a few buttons. It spun around and made a weird sound. Before the blood disappeared and a machine started printing some info out. Walking over and pulling the paper off, she looked it over. Her smile was huge.
    “Here you go” Handing me the paper. I looked it over.
    “Ohh boy” I said getting up and pushing the paper threw a shredder.
    “Or girl” She laughed.
    “Please don’t say anything about this” Turning to her.
    “Are you sure?”

“Yes, I have enough problems right now, and I don’t need Matias further up my ass.” She nodded with a chuckle.
    “Yes, I can see that. As you Wish Luna. Your secret is safe with me.”
    “Umm How long?” I asked looking at a picture of the Ocean.
    “Umm maybe 3 months” she replied, leaning on her desk.        “Really, huh”
    “Yes its common, you’ve gotten away without any sighs, and so far no normal issues. Your lucky. Well do another check in a few days.” I nodded before leaving her office.

I found myself in are bedroom, looking at my stomach in every direction possible. Nothing, not a damn thing….where the hell was it? Lowering my shirt, I sighed… this is what I get for having such killer sex. As much as I wanted to tell Matias, cause he’d be thrilled. I new he would bubble wrap me, and I would have no freedom. He was worried enough, with his brother in town and wanting me and the Alpha title, this would just send him over the edge. I wasn’t going to tell anyone, not even Sam.
