ANGEL
I can't believe this is happening. I'm moving in with my mate.
'Finally. We can see our yummy mate every day!' Sadie cooed. I rolled my eyes. I was back at my parents house, currently packing up my things. Xavier was grabbing my clothes from the closet as I packed up my bathroom.
"Are there more boxes? I just filled the last one!" Xavier yelled from the closet.
"No but you can use some bags! They're downstairs in the kitchen!" I yelled back and heard him leave the room. I closed up my box and taped it shut, carrying it out of the room and down the stairs, setting it by the front door. Xavier walked by carrying the bags.
"Just a little left. I'll bag it then we can get going." I nodded and he went up the stairs and back into the room. My mom walked up to me and smiled.
"Are you all ready to go honey?"
"Yeah. Xavier is grabbing the last of it." I smiled at my mom sadly as my eyes started misting.
"Oh honey. It'll be okay. We will see you often I promise." She pulled me into a tight hug.
"I'll miss you guys.." I whispered into her hair.
"We will miss you too honey. Sorry your Father couldn't be here. He had to help with some pack business." I pulled away and smiled.
"That's okay. I'll see him soon either way." She nodded. I looked over to see Xavier walking down the stairs, several boxes in his arms.
"Can you open the door for me so I can put these in the truck?" I nodded, pulled open the door and he walked out.
"I'll see you soon Mom. I love you." I pulled her into another hug. Gripping tightly.
"I love you too honey. Be safe. Call if you need anything." I nodded.
"I will." I bent down and trapped the box at my feet and walked out to the truck, putting it in the back with the rest.
"You ready?" Xavier asked as he pulled open the passenger door for me. I nodded and slid into the seat, closing the door behind me. Xavier ran around and hopped into the driver's seat and turned on the truck. I sat back and closed my eyes as he pulled out of the driveway.
Do you think my father will send someone else to get me?
'I wouldn't doubt it. He's the king of the demon realm. He won't stop till he gets what he wants, even if that means killing everyone we know and love.' Jezebelle ground out.
I won't let him. I will tear his realm to pieces if I have to.
'Good. We got your back. No matter what, we won't let him hurt anyone.' Arella said.
With that, I drifted off to the sound of the truck engine.

"...Babe. We're home." I cracked open my eyes to see the sky had darkened and we were sitting in the driveway of my new home. I opened the door and slid out, stretching my sore limbs.
"Do you wanna get everything inside or wait till later?" Xavier asked, running circles on the small of my back.
"We can wait. I have a bag packed so that I have something to wear for now." He nodded and I grabbed my bag before following him inside the house. As we walked inside, he paused at the stairs.
"Do you want to have your own room? If you do that's fine, I'd understand if you're not comfortable with staying in mine yet." He smiled and I blushed.
"That's alright. I don't mind staying with you." I laughed at his shocked expression. "I have a feeling that you'll help keep the nightmares away."
"Well alright then. Let me show you where our room is." He said with a big grin on his face. He took my hand and led me up the stairs to the end of the hall. He opened the door and we walked inside.
" I've already cleaned out half the closet for your things so when everything is brought in, you'll have a place to put them." I nodded.
"Which one is the bathroom? I'd like to take a shower." His eyes flickered black and back to blue so fast any normal person wouldn't have noticed it. He cleared his throat and pointed to the other side of the room.
"Until we get your stuff, you can use the soaps that are in there already." I nodded and grabbed my bag, walking into the bathroom and closed the door behind me softly. I leaned up against it and took a deep breath.
'Our mate wants us' Sadie growled.
Yea but I'm not ready for that yet.
'We get it. It's just gonna be a little difficult for us.' Arella said with a sigh.
I'm sorry girls.
'All good girl. We will wait as long as we need to.'
Thank you.
With that I pushed myself off the door and turned on the shower, waiting until the room filled with steam before stripping off my clothes and stepping in under the soothing hot water.
XANDER
As she shut the door, I took a deep breath as I sat down on my bed, running my hand through my hair. She's already got a hold of me, way more than I was expecting. I haven't known her for long but I love her already. She's going to be an amazing Luna. When I saw how she protected the pack, I was beaming with pride. I can barely hold Slade back from marking her too early. I heard the shower turn on and I stood up, stretching before walking out of the bedroom.
I walked downstairs and started bringing everything in from the truck and putting it away. As I opened the last box, Angel walked out of the bathroom in a cloud of steam, only covered with a towel. Slade immediately started to push forward, causing me to fight him back.
"Sorry, I forgot to grab some clothes before taking a shower." Angel whispered shyly as she walked past me.
"You're fine. I put away most of your stuff already but you're also welcome to wear one of my shirts if you want." she smiled and nodded before walking into the closet. I took a deep breath.
Slade, you need to calm down. We can't force her.
But she smells so good! She smells like us.
'I know but we need to give her space. I don't want to scare her off.' I sighed out. He whimpered softly and retreated to the back of my mind.
I ran my hand over my face and Angel walked out, wearing one of my shirts. It came down to her knees because of our size difference.
"Better?" I asked, smiling at her softly.
"Yes, very. Thank you." I nodded and grabbed some clothes out of the dresser to change into. I headed into the bathroom to change.
When I was done, I walked out to see Angel sitting on the couch flipping through movies. I smiled seeing her small figure curled up under my shirt.
"Do you have something you would like to watch?" she asked, still looking at the tv.
"You like horror?" I sat down next to her and pulled a blanket over both of us. She snuggled into my side, finding a movie and starting it.
'Hey. Could you bring up some dinner for Angel and I? ' I mindlinked Jack.
Sure boss. No problem.
'Thanks man.'
A minute later there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!" Jack walked in with two plates piled up with food. He set them on the table in front of us.
"Thanks again man." He nodded and walked out, softly closing the door behind him. Angel smiled at me as we dug in, watching the movie as we ate. After we were done eating we sat back and cuddled on the couch. Towards the end of the movie I looked over to see she was sleeping soundly. I smiled and turned off the tv, picked her up carefully so I wouldn't wake her and carried her to the bed. I tucked her in and climbed in next to her, pulling her into my arms. She pressed her face into my chest and I sighed in content.
________________________________________________________________________________
I woke up to Angel cuddling closer to me. I smiled looking at her sleeping face and kissed her forehead. She started to stir, opening her eyes then blinking rapidly to adjust to the bright morning light. She smiled at me sleepily.
"Good morning love."
"Good morning…" she mumbled back groggily.
She pulled back and stretched, the shirt riding up slightly and exposing her thighs. I closed my eyes tightly as Slade began to stir inside me.
"Are you okay?" Angel asked as she put her hand softly on my cheek. I nodded and opened my eyes to see her worried expression.
"Yeah. Slade keeps trying to push forward."my eyes flicked down and her gaze followed mine. She blushed and pulled up the blanket, covering herself.
"Sorry.." she mumbled, burying her face into the bed. I chuckled.
"No need to be sorry. You're new to all of this. I can't expect you to act the same as others. That wouldn't be fair." She peeked at me and smiled. I reluctantly pulled the covers back and stretched, getting up and walking towards the bathroom.
"I'm going to take a quick shower. We can go get some breakfast when I'm done. Sound good?" She nodded and I walked into the bathroom, closing the door behind me.
