Xavier stood behind me. "Can I speak to you?" His deep voice sent shivers down my spine. Goddess what is this man doing to me? Xavier was staring at me. Oh shit I'm also staring aren't I?

'Yes. Yes you are staring at him.' Milo said a little more happy then he should be. 

I quickly averted my gaze and nodded. "Great. Follow me." He started to walk, with me right behind him. We stepped out of the room and into the hallway leading to the kitchen and living room. He leaned against the wall and kept staring. I averted my gaze from the ground and back to his eyes and was quickly lost into a trance. His eyes didn't have much emotion, well on the outside. He defiantly had them but they were heavily guarded and very well hidden.

"You do know it is pretty rude to stare at people?" I said while he just shrugged. 

"Well I can stare at anything I want especially if they are mine." He started to walk closer. The closer he got the more my heart sped up but I kept my place and didn't break eye contact.

"Hey Xavi- Oh god! REALLY!" My eyes went to the sound of someone yelling. There next to the open door was a tall built man staring at my mate with his mouth open a little. He looked over at me and smiled. Smiled? "Ahh and you're the unlucky person to mate to this... retard." He came over to me and gave me a hug which I awkwardly returned. I heard Xavier growl a little. The guy let go. "Xavier don't you dare growl at me. All I am doing is being a good beta and greeting your mate." He turned back to face me. "My name is Finn and I'm beta of this bitches pack. It's nice to meet you." He held out his hand which I shook. 

"It's nice to meet you to, I guess?" Finn laughed a bit. 

"Ok so here's the deal Xavier. We are leaving tomorrow around 7 with or without him." Finn had turned back around and was now talking face to face with Xavier.

"We can go with plan B." Xavier said with little to no emotion. Whats plan B?

"Alright." Finn turned around. "Well see you tomorrow at 7."

"I am not going with you!" I almost yelled. "And anyway i'm leaving tomorrow to fly back to New York." 

"Oh, we will see about that." And literally that was all Xavier said before walking out followed by Finn. 

.....

Later that night my family and I were back in the house the Peter gave to us. Me, Axel and Ellie all shared one room while our parents go the other. There was a twin bed on the right and a bunk bed to the left of the room. There was also a walk in closet that led to the bathroom. On the other wall there were to dressers, one had a TV on top, and in the corner was a small desk. I was currently sitting on the top bunk reading. While the other two were playing Mario kart on the TV.

"Colton, come join us." Axel whined, 

"No Axel. My book is a lot more interesting then that." I said pointing to the the paused game. 

"Whatever Colton." He rolled his eyes and they continued playing. 

"Colton! Come here please." I heard papa yell moments later. I walked down the stairs and saw them both by the door. "Come on. Were going out." He threw me my jacket.

"What about Ellie and Axel?" I questioned as I put my jacket on. 

"We just want to talk to you for a little bit." Dad said. I nodded my head. We walked out the door into the barley lit road. The sky had already become dark blue and the stars could easily be seen. We walked for a little bit before we started to talk. "Colton, do you remember what pack you were from before we found you?" I thought back past the horrible memory's from the kidnapping and past the couple years I don't remember. The first couple of memory's I had weren't the best but I did remember.

"Umm I think it was the Moon Shadow. But I could be wrong." Both my dads gave each other nervous glances. "Why are you asking me this?" 

"Do you remember your parents?" 

"Yes I do. Guys whats going on?" Neither of them said nothing but kept walking until we made it to a medium sized building. The building was made out of stone. There was a wooden door and a couple of tall windows in the front. We walked in and on each wall there were about a hundred names. "What is this..." I walked over to one of the walls and one name I recognized. "Bailey Carter. Wait I new her." I turned to face my fathers. "What is this place?"

"Son this is a memorial for the Moon Shadow pack." Dad said. I looked up at the top of each wall and saw they were labeled. I walked over to the Alpha section. And there written on the wall was the names of his mother, father, sister and... my name?

"Why is my name here?" I asked them. Tears were already running down my cheeks as all the memory's I tried to hide, came flushing back. I could now hear every scream, every call for help, every howl and every sinister laugh coming from the vampires. I could smell all the blood to. The blood of children, mothers, and fathers. I could also see the eyes of every person me and sister walked by. the people who put their trust in the warriors and my parents to protect them. Way to many innocent people died that day. Way to many. I felt arms go around me. I opened my eyes and saw my Papa hugging me. I looked behind him and saw many pack members looking at me, concern and sadness filled them. I then realized I was screaming, and crying. I hugged my Papa back and cried into his chest. "I'm sorry. I'm so so so sorry." i repeated for the hundredth time. 

My crying had calmed down a lot more and now I was sitting on the ground huddled against Papa. He had his arm around my shoulders. Everyone else had left. Dad left so he could explain the situation to everyone and tell them I was indeed the next Alpha of the Moon Shadow pack.

"Why are you sorry?"

"Because I could have done something, anything." I said between sobs.

"Colton you couldn't have done anything. You were three years old."

"Still. That doesn't matter. I could-"

"Colton listen to me. You were three years old. A three year old cannot protect hundreds of people against vampires. It's just not possible." I sighed but nodded my head. I may have not fully agreed with him but all I knew was that I was getting way to tired to keep my eyes open. Soon I fell asleep laying against papa.

......

I woke up the next morning in the top bunk. I got up and walked into the bathroom. I had to take a second glance at the person in the mirror. My white hair was going in all directions, my two different colored eyes had huge eye bags under them and my cheeks were stained with old tears from last night. I was also in the clothes from yesterday. I took off all my clothes and waited for the water to get warm. Once warm I stepped in.

 Of all the things I should be thinking about like my real parents or even my old pack, Xavier was the only thing on my mind. Then yesterdays conversation came back. He was going to bring me to the UK. Maybe if I stay home all day he might forget about me, then I could go home. I mean papa and Dad probably will let me stay here all day considering yesterdays... events. I got out and threw on a new pair of gray sweatpants and a tight black shirt. I walked downstairs and into the kitchen. The smell of bacon filled the room. 

What surprised me most was to see Axel cooking. Axel must have known I was there because as soon as I entered the room he faced me. "Hey you are not supposed to be here. Go back up stairs and into bed and I will bring you your breakfast." Axel ordered. 

"Bu-"

"No buts. Upstairs. Now." I listened to him this time and walked back up the stairs and back into bed. I grabbed one of my books from under my pillow and read until Axel came up. "Here you go." Axel gave me a tray filled with food. Pancakes, bacon, eggs and some fruit. He jumped up on the bed, sitting next to me. "How you feeling Colton?" I shrugged my shoulders as I was not in the mood to talk right now. "Don't wanna talk?" I nodded. "OK. I understand. Papa and Dad both allowed you to stay home from all activity's. Lucky you." He was about to get up when I placed my hand on his shoulder.

"Did Ellie find her mate?"

"Ya she did. His name is Cameron. He's actually from a pack in California. Why do you ask?" He gave me a confused glance. I took my hand from his shoulders and buried my head into both of them.

"Axel I found my mate." I bluntly stated.

"Oh my god Colton. That's amazing! Who is it?"I sighed.

"Its Xavier. And I have like a terrible feeling that I won't be going home to California." His mouth opened making an o. 

"Well I don't know how to help you. But Xavier? He's your mate?" He paused for a moment. "Dude if you guys get married you'll be Luna to one of the bravest and fearful packs to ever exist. How freaking cool is that!" I laughed a bit. Of course he would think of this as a good things.

"Axel you do see me right. I am a kinda tiny person especially compared to Xavier. How do you think I will fit in?" Axel just shook his head in response.

"OK. First off. One of the things that makes this pack fierce is that they are incredibly good fighters and you will defiantly fit in. I mean have you seem yourself fight. You're better than everyone in our pack and that is saying something. Another thing that makes that pack fierce is Xavier. He's scary. Like wicked scary and you just happen to be his mate. So if anything I know you will be accepted because you are going to change scary Xavier to a more caring one. Stop thinking of all the bad things that could happen and think of the good. Now I gotta go meet up with pops or he will have a fit." I smiled at him. How the hell did Axel of all people make me feel better.

"When will you be home?" Axel looked at his watch.

"It's like 10 so probably not till 1. I'll bring you lunch then. OK bye Colton. Love ya." I waved at him as he walked out of the bedroom door.
