I felt completely confused as Ashton stood in front of me arms behind his back as Luke was packing a suitcase. Did I do something wrong? I felt a deja vu. My heart was beating quickly as I saw him place clothes after clothes in the suitcase. Is he leaving me here? Why is he leaving? Where is he going? Why is he leaving me here alone? I started to feel dizzy and without a breath. Does he hate me? Is he abandoning me?
I walked to him and grabbed a hold of his sleeve as I had to look up at him with big eyes. He looks at me and he just looks at me shocked. I could see how worried he was. Just being so close to him made me feel so relaxed and calmed. But I must look like a child in front of him. I was shaking so hard and I didn't even notice I was shaking so hard. I should learn how to control my emotions by now. But this world. What he told me. I still can't believe it. But I don't want to be left alone in a place I don't even now. Scarlet was with some boy named Jey. Seems like those two are deeply into each other.
Is Jey like Luke? If this is all real. Is Jey a werewolf too? Is Scarlet a werewolf? What werewolves call a rogue? I am overthinking again. I need to learn to trust this man. He has saved me more than once already and here I am doubting everything again. I need to learn my place in the end. I swallowed a lump as I just couldn't look away from him. I felt the sudden spark just like the first time we met. An amazing sensation. The way he cups my hand in his own made my stomach flip in excitement.
I don't want to be left alone. He placed his hand on his head as he literally lands on his knees. Wrapping his arm around my waist and laying his head on my stomach. I flinched a bit as I didn't know what to do. I don't know how to react to this. This man is showing me so much love and I just feel fear still. I don't know how to respond to all this affection yet. I let my hand slip away from his head as I just looked at the roof. I didn't know how to react with him. Should I accept all this? Should I allow myself to be tricked? Should I try this romance? Should I accept this man's emotions? What should I do?
"Everything will be alright..." I tensed up at his gentle voice
I spoke as I shut my eyes "I-I... I just don't want to be alone..."
He holds me tighter to him and I felt so much affection and the amazing sensation I just didn't want to let him go "I don't want you to come with me..."
That tore my heart and I flinched almost taking a step back but he holds me tight to him and I respond "Why? Please don't leave me!"
I looked at him and I just didn't understand why I am acting like this I now I am stubborn but not this stubborn "I can't bring you with me!"
"He is correct Luna... You'll get hurt..." Ashton tried to interject
Luna? I haven't reached that part of the book yet so it must be a title "I am not staying here! Want me to learn about this world of yours! I am going with you!"
Luke finally stands up and holds my face and stares deep into my eyes "I can't allow you to come to a location where there are so much testosterone covered men and be the only human there..."
"What's wrong being human?" I snapped at him annoyed
If this world is real I need to know more about it one way or another "Because human mates are rare between wolves... It's barely seen... We are beings who can literally fight the military and not die so easily"
"So what?!" I snapped at him as I crossed my arms so I continued talking "You want me? Want me to know the truth? take me with you... I will follow you! If you try locking me in here I will never forgive you!"
For some odd reason that made him freeze up and look at me with big puppy eyes. It made me cringe a little as I've never seen a man do this before. I glanced at Ashton who had his hand in his face. Sighing out in annoyance. Is this the first time Luke does this? A grown man. Using puppy dog eyes on a woman. Because of just a simple sentence. I still stayed mad. This is something I have to learn the hard way. Will I be terrified? Yes. Will my actions speak over my emotions? Yes also. Will Scarlet be left behind? Also yes. Will a be in danger? There is a huge possibility. If this world he talks about is real as he says. Will the other Alpha's be tall and strong like him? If so I now I will feel small and pathetic.
I bite my bottom lip and just looked at him again I need to be stubborn if I need to be strong in life I must walk over the egg shells and just hope for the best. Mentally I can already hear my mothers yelling for being a stubborn and curious girl. I feel like for me to recover for what my mother did will take such a long time. But I need to take a step forward. Even if it hurts deep in my heart. I want to take a step forward and just start it off gently. I have to be strong. What if Luke and I start a family. Have children. I felt my cheeks heat up and I just couldn't understand this feelings already.
How many children would he want? If we do have sex and I get pregnant. Will I be like a normal human and give birth to one baby or twins. Or will I be like a wolf and give birth to up to five babies. Man that area of my body will be in so much pain if I give birth to more than 2 babies. 'WHAT AM I THINKING!?' I shook my head and needed to stay on topic. Luke and the werewolf world. I need to get back into the topic. A lot of things need to be shown for me to fully believe the are other beings.
"I am not changing my mind! I want to see everything... I will accept the consequences later but for now! I need to now with my own eyes your world" I tell him sternly
He sighs out and just scratches his eyes while waving his hand at Ashton "Tell Sarah to pack the clothing she bought for my mate into a suitcase... Be sure you have your own suitcase ready Ashton... Just in case..."
"Are you sure Alpha? You know it is a Alpha meeting... Mates will be placed in one place and Beta's to guard them..." Ashton tells him with a tilted head
"Yeah am sure..." Luke says as he looks at me with worried eyes
I wanted to comfort him but I just didn't have the guts to do it yet. I don't know how to handle a man in love with me and furthermore a man who will stay with me for the rest of my mortal life. Will he live longer than me? Will he age just like me? Do specific werewolves have powers just like in the wolf stories I read? I know fantasy and real life if different. But if this world is real as he says it is. Then there may be more. Right?
"You make sure to follow Ashton's instructions... Be careful with the other females... Until now you are the only human... So follow Ashton to the beat..." Luke quickly tells me
I looked at him with big eyes "What do you mean the only human? You said it rare for a human mate... I'd expect one or two there right?"
Now I am panicking a bit "Yes a rare moment... A 1 in a million chance type of rare moment..."
Now I just made myself look like a fool and so I speak "Where are we going anyways?"
"Well it is a two hour flight and you will need something nice just in case... We'll be at one of the Hotel's in Florida..." he answers gently
"Florida!?" I felt a little shocked
"Yes... Our King lives in an area were it has all four seasons but there are moments where the winter season extends his welcome... So once a year he rents out the whole hotel location by the beach and just makes the reunions there for just one day and he'll take his chance and stay for maybe two weeks just to get a tan..." Luke explains gently
Seems like I will need sun block. Florida heat is no joke.
