I'm so glad this bet was over now.
""˜Ya me too!' My wolf chimed in.
I lean away and look into his amazing eyes.
Right now there are pitch black, and I know why.
Hehe (: ""so, when are we going on that shopping trip?"" I asked curious with a hint of amusement.
""I don't know.
Tomorrow maybe?"" Axel says.
""That can work!"" ""Anything for my little kitten.
"" He says smirking.
""I'm not your little kitten.
"" ""Yes you are.
You are my little kitten, and mine only.
No one else's.
I don't like sharing what is mine.
"" ""Yes Axel.
I am only yours.
"" With that, we started to kiss again.
Man, it feels so good to kiss him.
I thought to myself.
I could get used to this.
"
"Chapter 7: Having fun
Ever since Axel kissed me, he's been a lot more protective.
It can be cute when he gets jealous, but it can be kind of bad actually.
We left for our shopping trip with Jordan today around 12 and we arrived at the mall an hour later.
Even if a guy walked passed me without looking (which a lot of them did not do) he pulled me closer and let out a low gr owl.
It was cute at first, but after awhile I'm just like come on.
""Axel, it's fine.
They are just walking to t he other parts of the store.
"" I said laughing.
""I know, but they are males.
They can't control themselves around beautiful girls like you.
"" He replied kind of on the edge.
""You think I'm beautiful?"" ""Of course.
"" He said kissing the top of my head.
We made our way throughout the ENTIRE mall.
Jordan brought Spencer with so she made him carry her bags, while I made Axel carry mine.
Jordan and I were walking to Victoria Secret when the boys found themselves a bench.
""Wimps"" I whispered to Jordan.
""What was that?"" Axel asked getting up.
Damn stupid werewolf hearing.
""Nothing babe!"" I said dragging Jordan into Victoria Secret.
We walked into the store and of course, Jordan goes straight to the bras.
We were in there for about 30 minutes, when we walked back outside and saw our mates talking to 2 other girls.
Jordan cleared her throat and Axel and Spencer looked up at us and smiled.
Their smiles soon disappeared when they saw the look on our faces.
Jordan and I looked at each other, grabbed our bags, and walked away.
I know it might seem extreme, but if you see some other girl's hand out YOUR mate's muscular, awesome, sexy""¦.
ugh! Stop it Skylar! Anyway, her freaking hand on his arm, it just set something off and I didn't like it.
Jordan and I were walking away and ignoring them calling our names.
I let out a gasp when I felt someone's warm, strong arms wrap around my waist.
And Jordan did the same thing.
I was pulled back into a hard chest and felt sparks go through my entire body.
My wolf was happy that we were in the this position, and so was I but I wasn't really happy with him.
""Skylar, please let me talk.
"" Axel pleads.
""Who the hell was that.
She can't touch you, only I can!"" I snapped.
""You know, you look pretty sexy when you're jealous.
"" He said smirking.
I blushed then looked down.
""Just tell me who that freaking girl was.
"" ""She was my one of my best friends from when I was little.
She told me how she found her mate.
"" He said smirking.
""Oh""¦um I gotta go.
Come on Jordan!"" I looked over to see that Spencer and Jordan walked off to some place to talk I guess.
""Oh no you don't.
"" He said wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me back into his chest again.
My body stiffens and he notices it because he starts to laugh.
""You're gonna get it when we get back to the house.
Just to let you know.
"" ""Hey guys! Ready to leave?"" Oh great, you have perfect timing Spencer.
""Ya.
You ready Skylar?"" Axel says.
I have a feeling that that question has a double meaning.
I just nod my head and try to get out of his grasp.
He just laughs and holds onto me tighter.
I sigh and give up knowing I won't be able to get out of it.
We arrived back at my house and watch a movie.
Of course the guys thinking they are being funny, pick out Paranormal Activity 4.
Jordan and I didn't have a say because we were getting drinks and snacks.
I brought the snacks while Jordan got the drinks and set this down on my coffee table.
I cuddled up next to Axel and he put his arm around my waist protectively.
About half way during the movie I let out a scream and that causes Jordan to scream.
Popcorn is everywhere.
And when I mean everywhere, I mean EVERYWHERE.
The boys start laughing at us.
""Hey sweetie, it's okay.
It's just a movie.
"" Axels says soothingly in my ear.
""I know.
But it's just""¦scary.
"" I told him back.
""It's okay, I'm right here.
No one is going to hurt you.
"" He kisses my head and we finish the movie.
After the movie is done, Spencer and Jordan head to the guest room.
I don't even want to know what is going on, I think to myself.
""Come on Skylar.
Lets got to bed.
"" Axel says picking me up bridal style.
""You know I can walk, right?"" ""Ya, but I like it when you are in my arms.
"" Ugh, I hate it when he makes me blush.
We get up to my room and get ready for bed.
When we get settled on the bed he starts tickling me nonstop.
About 10 minutes later, he stops so I can catch my breath.
We start kissing but he pulls back and looks in my eyes.
His eyes show lust and nervousness.
But I don't know why he would be nervous.
""You okay Axel?"" ""Ya.
But I was wondering.
Can I mark you Skylar?"" I was shocked.
He is such a gentlemen for asking he girl first before doing something.
""Y-yes.
"" I said blushing.
He started to trail kisses down my jawline to my neck.
He found the spot where he was going to mark me and I tried not to let out a moan.
He started to nibble on it and I couldn't hold it in anymore.
I let out a moan and he started to smirk on my skin before he sunk his teeth into the spot where my neck and shoulder meet.
I screamed a little in pain, but it was soon replaced by a moan of pleasure.
He pulled his teeth out and licked the mark.
It made me shiver in pleasure.
""There, now every male wolf knows that you are mine and mine only.
"" He growled softly.
I just blushed and giggled.
He smiled and kissed my forehead.
""II love you Skylar.
"" I turned to look at him and said, ""I love you too Axel.
"" ""Goodnight kitten.
"" That was the last thing I heard before I fell asleep in my sexy mate'a arms.
"
"Chapter 8: Meeting the other mates and parents
Axel'a POV
I woke up and started to stretch.
I put my arm back over Skylar's wais
t to pull her closer only to find that her side of the bed is empty.
I shot out of bed and I was panicking.
I looked in our bathroom and closet and couldn't find her anywhere.
""˜Skylar! Where are you?!' I mid-linked her.
""˜Dude, relax.
I'm down here cooking bacon for all of us.
' She replied laughing.
She's cooking for us? That's when the smell of bacon hit me.
I walked down the stairs to see everyone.
The guys are sitting down while the girls are cooking.
I sat down next Carter and I spotted 2 other girls I did not know.
""Hey Carter, who are those 2 girls.
I haven't seem them around before.
"" I ask him.
""Oh, the one by the fridge is my mate, Taylor.
And the one by the stove is Austin's mate, Katie.
"" He replied with a smile.
""Cool.
Gracias.
"" The girls came back with the food and set it on the kitchen island.
""Oh you're awake.
"" Skylar said laughing.
""Didn't mean to make you freak out.
"" Sticking her tongue out at me.
""˜I'd put that tongue back in your mouth if I were you kitten.
Or else.
' I mid-linked her smirking.
Her eyes got big and her tongue went back in her mouth instantly.
Skylar spoke up.
""Oh, and Axel this is Taylor and Katie.
Carter and Taylor are mates and Austin and Katie are mates.
"" ""It's nice to meet you guys.
"" I said sticking my hand out and we shook hands.
""You too.
"" Both of them said smiling.
Since it's Sunday, we all thought we could go ice skating at the mall.
After eating our food, we decided to go get ready then leave to go ice skate.
I made Skylar sit on my lap because I love having in my arms.
It felt so right.
We were putting our dishes away when 2 figures came through the front door.
Looking at them, I could tell that they were Skylar's parents.
Carter and the twins look a lot like their father, while Skylar looked like her mother.
""Hey mom, hey dad.
"" Skylar said running up to them to give them a hug.
""Hello dear.
"" Her mom replied.
""Hey baby girl.
"" Her dad said.
""I'm not a baby you know.
"" ""You will always be my baby.
"" He replied smiling and kissing the top of her head.
""˜Actually, she's our baby.
' My wolf said.
I mentally rolled my eyes at him.
""Uh Skylar.
Who is this?"" He asked pointing to me.
""Hello sir.
My name is Axel, alpha of the Red Moon Pack.
And your daughter is my mate.
"" I said proudly.
(It was okay to be on his land, because my dad and him had a treaty.
So we were allies.
)""Please to meet you son.
My name is Greg, and I am the alpha of the Blue Creek Pack.
Well, not for long.
Anyway, this is my mate Sophia.
"" ""Nice to me you.
"" I said shaking her hand.
""Wait, what do you mean dad?"" Carter stood up walking over to us.
""Well, I decided that I need to step down, and let you become alpha of this great pack.
"" ""A-are you serious? Y-you mean it?"" ""Of course Carter.
You have showed me that you can become a wonderful leader.
So, surprise!"" Greg said laughing.
""This is wonderful! Skylar and Taylor are going to become Luna's! And Carter is going to be the alpha!"" Her mother said squealing with joy.
We all laughed at her comment.
""Dad, all of us are going to go ice skating.
"" Skylar said.
""Okay, you kids have fun.
We are going to set up for the ceremony.
It's going to be tomorrow at 5:30.
"" ""Okay.
Bye, love you guys.
"" And we set off to the mall.
Skylar's POVWe just arrived at the mall and we got our skates and put them on.
Us girls got out here first, and the guys are walking slowly out to the rink.
Surprise, surprise.
""You baby's coming?"" Taylor said mockingly.
""Ya ya.
We are coming.
Jeez.
"" Carter replied.
We just laughed at them then continued to skate.
Since the mall is big, it has 3 levels.
The skating rink is on the first level, so if you look up, you can see the other 2 levels.
I felt someone watching me, so I looked up.
Oh crap""¦I saw a blonde haired boy with a smirk plastered on his face watching me as I'm skating.
""Hey babe, what are you looking at?"" I jump when Axel comes up behind me.
I look up and notice he isn't there anymore.
""Skylar, are you okay?"" ""Uh ya.
I'm fine, come on let's continue to skate.
"" I said while grabbing his hand.
""Are you sure.
Don't lie to me.
"" ""Ya I'm fine.
"" ""Don't lie to me kitten.
"" ""I said I'm fine okay!"" I snapped.
He looked at me with a shocked expression.
""Axel I'm really sorry.
II didn't mean to snap.
"" ""It's okay sweetheart.
Just tell me what scared you.
"" ""Not here.
I will tell you when we get home.
Okay?"" ""Okay.
I love you babe.
"" He said kissing the top of my head.
""Love you too.
"" And we continued to skate.
I just don't get how he found me.
I haven't seen him for 5 years.
And all of the sudden he just randomly shows up.
What the hell is going on""¦"
"Chapter 9: Blonde haired boy returns
We finally arrived home from the rink.
I was mostly quiet during the car ride because I was thinking really hard.
I was debating if I should tell Axel or not.
I mean, I want to tell him because he's my mate, but I don't want him getting mixed in with my problem.
I was thinking so hard that I didn't realize we arrived back at my house.
""You coming Skylar?"" Austin asked.
""Huh? Oh ya.
Uh, I'm coming.
"" I said while running past them and locking myself in my room.
I slid underneath the covers and tried to forget about him.
My phone buzzed and that snapped me out of my thoughts.
From: UnknownYou looked really cute today skating with that guy.
Is he your mate or something?From: SkylarYes he is my mate, what's it to you? And how did you find me?!From: UnknownHe won't be for long.
I'm your mate! We decided this when we were younger, that I was gonna be your mate and no one else's Sky! And I have also been watching you for awhile (;From: SkylarWe were younger then.
It was like 5 years ago.
Let it go! And stay away from me, my mate, and my friends and family Tyler!From: UnknownI don't want your friends and family.
I just want Axel out of the way so we can finally be together.
Then, you can be Luna of my pack.
We will rule together.
From: SkylarYou leave him alone!! He didn't do anything! And why would I be Luna of your pack when I'm already Luna of my pack.
So with that being said, you can just LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE AND EVERYONE ELSE!!From: UnknownWHAT!? How are you already a Luna?! I thought Axel's dad was sti
ll the alpha!From: SkylarNope.
Axel has been the alpha for quite some time.
If you were smart, which you aren't.
You would have known that.
From: UnknownWhatever.
If you want him to stay alive, tell him to stay out of my way.
I'm getting you no matter what.
Whether you like it or not! So, until then princess.
(;No""¦.
he can't hurt Axel.
If I would have just stayed with him, he wouldn't be in danger.
I better explain who Tyler is to you guys.
He was my boyfriend, keyword: WAS.
We dated for a year, and he was an only child.
So that met he would be alpha of his dad's pack when he got old enough.
He told me he loved me, and I said it back.
I don't really know what I felt, but I did like him a lot.
He told me that when he got older and he was the alpha, that he would want me to be with him all the way, to be his Luna.
I agreed because I thought it was cool, but I also thought that it wasn't going to happen, so why not right? I told Jordan about it and asked for her opinion.
Little did I know, that he and one of his friends were listening through the door of Jordan's room.
His friend, Cody, was Jordan's cousin.
They weren't in the same pack because Jordan was in my pack.
Anyway, I was talking to Jordan and I told her that I didn't want to be Luna with him.
I thought we were going to fast.
I heard a growl and Jordan's door got busted down.
Saying that Tyler was angry was an understatement.
He was enraged.
Tyler told Cody to get Jordan out of the room.
So when Cody forced Jordan out of the room, he stalked his way over to me.
He beat me, and yelled at me telling me how I was disrespectful to him, and how I was stupid for deciding against being with him in the future.
I dated him for about 2 years and he would always beat me until I said yes.
I never did though, and I kept thinking I was stupid for it.
But I didn't want an abusive mate.
Every time we went out for a date, he would always bring me up to his room and would ask me questions about why I said no.
And if I said something he didn't like (which was every answer I gave) he would hit or kick me.
I never told anyone because he said he would kill me.
But we both had alpha blood so I could maybe take him, but he was older and stronger.
I finally broke up with him the day my pack moved, and I never saw him since.
And now 5 years later, he found me.
