Seth's POV

Sadie was in the shower while I decided to take a moment and change clothes. The clothes I had on earlier had dirt and grime on them after having to deal with Ian and is fucking posse.

Ian is the top warrior of my Class A regime. My Beta, Marco, is in charge of the warriors in my absence and he was doing a piss-poor job keeping Ian and his friends in line. Calling his future Luna a liar was grounds for punishment.

To feel his cries as I gripped his neck and my claws piercing his skin was beyond satisfying. His friends watched as their leader withered in pain while they were being chained with silver.

I took my time, scraping every surface of his skin with my claws. Sometimes taking a silver knife and cutting the webbing between his fingers. Oftentimes I would just take his blood and shove it in his mouth so he could taste his own blood.

It has been awhile since I've made one of my own piss themselves just hearing the sound of my voice. It felt good to be in power, to be this strong and hold others at my mercy. It's what got me here today, the fearless and merciless warrior I was.

Besides the fact that I could be merciless among those who are guilty, I was the protector. I protected my pack, those who I care about most. I'm loyal to all those who are loyal to me and to the pack and kingdom. You would think some wolves would learn their lesson, but obviously that is not the case.

I spent hours torturing the poor soul as his friends watched helplessly. I lost track of time and I was about to start on the others when Marco mind-linked me.

Stopping abruptly, I had no choice to stop my fun. My heart ached realizing I haven't been with my Love for a long while.

"Today is your lucky day, mother fuckers. My mate is waiting for me. I hope this is a lesson to you to stay away from your Luna, next time I won't be so lenient. Release them."

Marco stood still for a moment, realizing I wasn't going to finish torturing the rest like I normally did. She's already started to change me, and Marco is seeing it first hand. His smirk of the realization of this was a clear indication.

Sadie was precious as she sat in the oversized rocking chair waiting for me. She was trying too hard to stay mad. I could feel her inner battle she was having. To stay mad or run and jump into my arms were her strong desires at this moment. I was lucky that she finally calmed down but her tears tore me to pieces.

My Luna shouldn't cry over me. I can never let her cry over something as silly as this. I've been so used to being alone I had almost forgotten my mate is now by my side. She's already softened my heart and anything she wishes is my command. I'll give her the moon if she asks for it.

Her kisses shattered a window within my heart. She was a fresh spring breeze blowing to put out my angry storm. The gentle rain she let in to put out my fire was mind altering. Her soft moans and mewls of pleasure captivated me, knowing I gave her pleasure and will be the only one to give it to her.

My wolf was howling, clawing and begging me to take her then. The animal in me wanted me to mark her, to make sure she would always be mine but my precious Love was so innocent and still sick. I didn't want to put any pain or cause any stress on her, I had already done too much.

After her shower and she dressed we headed down stairs and we waited in the dining room. Usually the Alpha of the pack sits at the head of the table with his Luna on the right. Since I am the higher ranking Alpha being part of the Royal Warriors, I was to sit at the head while Sadie sat to my right.

Sadie was looking around nervously in her black skinny jeans and white, lace halter top. She looked so pure, innocent and scared. It only made me chuckle. To know that she will be marked by me soon gave me butterflies.

I took my hand and pulled the back of my hand to her lips. She sighed in content and gave me a small smile. Only the Pineville and the Royal warriors were in attendance since most of the wolves here preferred their own homes to eat or at the diner.

Before the food was served, I stood up and announced for attention.

"Before we get started, I'd like for you all to officially meet my mate, Sadie. If any harm comes to her there will be dire consequences." I looked evilly at them.

I quickly mind-linked the table.

My dear Sadie did not need to hear such words. She just smiled back at me and stared at me in awe. She did have a slight frown when I threatened them about having consequences. If she only knew what I said in the link. Quickly gazing across the table I saw many with sullen faces and many heads nodding in agreement.

The food was brought out and it was one of Sadie's recipes that the diner just recently acquired that everyone loved. It was a chicken, sourcream and cracker crumble loaded with certain spices that once hit the tongue you couldn't help but moan. The table was a mess as Sadie sat back laughing at all the men lusting over the food.

With a mouth full of food, Marco looked at Sadie. "Sadie, this is amazing, how many more recipes do you have hidden in your secret cookbook?" Marco quickly stuffed his face again.

This was Sadie's recipe?

"Oh, many years of trial and error." She laughed. "I'm glad everyone likes it!" She beamed at me while she wiggled in her seat in satisfaction.

"Mate, you made this?" I asked and she nodded.

"Not this batch, I just gave the recipe to whoever was cooking tonight. They had it at the diner and wanted everyone at the pack house to try it." Sadie moved some chicken around with her fork.

"Is there something bothering you, Love?" I asked hesitantly.

"Um, when is it OK to go back to the diner? Rebecca said people are missing me." She pleaded with me. She knows I don't want her to go back, she's mine now, she doesn't have to work.

"You can't, at least not now. We are waiting for The Ministry to come, remember?" I said in a flat tone.

"But I'm bored! I can't sit idle all the time! I'm made to help people and you were gone all day!" she complained.

"I won't be, not anymore. You are number one, no matter what." I gave her a quick kiss on the nose and she blushed at the endearment as everyone watched our conversation.

"Stop, everyone is watching. Make them stop!" She laughed. I glared at everyone and they went back to eating their third and fourth helpings.

"Can I at least cook here? Or make food for Rebecca to take to the dinner? The little ones like my cowboy cookies." She gave a pout and some of the mated warriors looked at her and chuckled while stuffing their idiotic faces.

"Fine, some. Only when I'm working in the office. I want to spend more time with you, Love." I'm a selfish bastered, now that I realized I messed up I'm not leaving her alone. Once The Ministry of Health and Spirt give her a clean bill of health I will start working the idea into her about marking her so we can go home.

The realm of Bergarian could be a dangerous place for humans. Humans are weak and unable to fight off most supernatural beings there. The current King and Queen have been been reigning for over a thousand years. When they came to rule, they made sure every human that lived there was casted out. Humans couldn't protect themselves and ended up slaves to supernaturals as well as blood bags to vampires.

Once Sadie is marked, she will have the ability to change into a werewolf. The normal bite to be mated goes into the muscle, however since she has the DNA ability to change to a werewolf, I will have to bite her into the bone.

I will have to contact the Elders and physicians for the best way to handle this situation. Seeing your mate in pain can change a wolf. Not being able to console, help or relieve any of that pain will hurt me as well as my wolf.

All of this is futile until The Ministry arrives. I need to know she is healthy and free of any curses. I'm hoping she has none and it was just her body reacting to so many changes in her life.

Watching her eat dinner and seeing the little mannerisms she has is breathtaking. I never thought I would have seen the day looking at my mate. Her soft brunette hair with kisses from the sun shine brightly around her face. Her nose likes to scrunch together when she finds something distasteful. The hazel eyes she has likes to flutter when she first looks at me. Her body wants me, I can feel it. Her mind is hesitant because she is so new to having someone care for her.

With the vampire on the loose wanting to take her as a mate sets Caspian on edge. The need to mate her and protect her is strong. She still isn't aware of a Vampire trying to come for her. I'll keep it that way once The Ministry has a look through her mind.

I'm glad she's been distracted and no longer asked about the roses anymore. Rebecca and Lela have done well to keep her busy.

Once everyone had their fill we went upstairs and got ready for bed. It had been a long day for me, and Sadie being angry and her ordeal with the bleeding eyes and headache seemed to make her tired. I would like to think I made her tired from making her come earlier but I guess I'll go with the former.

Sadie had on a pale yellow nightgown that reached mid-way on her thighs. The neckline was low and I could see her perky breasts beneath the thin material. She gave me a little smirk before climbing into the bed. That little minx.

"You know," she said in a sing-song-voice, "I wouldn't normally just climb into bed with some guy. But since you are my mate, I'll let it slide."

I hummed, "that's great to know, Love. I'd have to go rip someone to pieces if I knew that ever happened." Sadie giggled as she cuddled her head into my shoulder.

Like two pieces to a puzzle, our legs intertwined with one another, our arms wrapped around each other's torsos. This was the contentment I was looking for. All those years of searching were worth finding her. She calms my beast, she makes me whole.

I look down and kiss her little freckled nose and she sighs. "Good night, Seth."

"Goodnight Sadie Love."
