I felt like my mind had just spontaneously combusted in my head. The words that his man has been saying are just too much for me to handle. They were entirely unbelievable and unfeasible, or so I had thought all my life.

"I don't want to have a mate." I said my voice blank with no emotion in sight, not even my face bared any to read. "I don't want to know this stuff. I don't want to be a part of this."

I inwardly flinched as Caleb's eyes showed sadness from my statement. Although I felt a tinge of hurt at seeing him so somber I had to do what I needed to find normalcy again.

"Please, can I try and change your mind?" He was practically pleading as if his life depended on it. "I know that humans don't feel it the same way as we do but I'm pretty sure it can grow by getting to know me. If we get closer." His eyes locked pleadingly, hoping it would convince me to change my stance, it did not.

Caleb stood up from the chair walked towards me and I instinctively pressed myself further into the headboard of the bed. He sat quietly at the foot of the bed.

The same growing hurt feeling slowly itched its way more and more into my head leaving me frustrated with my emotions. They weren't all on the same page and it was aggravating. I was in the middle of trying to piece together my broadened new work and how I was now going to move forward with it.

"No." I forced myself to say my stomach grew nauseous as I said it. This impeding judgment was driving me to think that this is something I should accept. No one in their right mind would believe any of what Caleb has just told me and shown me. I really meant it when I said I wished that I didn't know any of this. I wanted to remain in the dark, I was living just fine with the life I was already living and all of its problems.

"What can I do to change your mind?" He asked his voice sounding heartbroken.

"Let me go home. Let me go." I simply said looking up to him. Caleb was studying me over, taking every detail of my face and body.

I found myself getting lost in his blue eyes that shimmered in the little lighting that there was in the room. The rich blue swirled endlessly in with ripples of charcoal. I had never seen something so beautiful and alluring. Something in me was drawing this built-up curiosity inside of me to know more about him. It was a struggle to remind myself of the extent to which I had been through the last couple of days.

"I can't just let you go." He said sliding his hand slowly over my foot that was under the blanket. I pulled it away from him not welcoming his touch.

"Why not? I had a life before all of this. I had a pretty normal ass life too, and one that I would really like to get back to." I spoke up growing anxious and overwhelmed with mixed emotions and contradicting thoughts.

"I can't risk that. You don't understand who you are now." My face must have shown Caleb just how confused I must have looked because he continued to explain. "You are my mate, my other half, but in being my mate that also means that you are the Alpha's mate, making you a Luna." He paused again letting the words linger in the air. "You are the Alpha female of the pack now."

I stood up when a started to become weighed down with the rush of information. I shook my head trying to distance myself from what he was saying. Repeatedly I told myself this man was delusional in every way possible.

Caleb had tried to reach for my hand but I pulled it away from him groaning in annoyance when I felt another tinge of remorse from rejecting his hand. Nothing about this was supposed to be a reality. None of this should make sense, none of it makes sense actually.

"I am not a- a Luna or whatever you are saying I am. I am a 21-year-old college student with a small part-time waitress job to keep her shoebox of an apartment." I exclaimed trying to show him how basic and normal my life was.

My stomach dropped however as I realized that I had an exam coming up this week. I looked at Caleb panicked.

"What day is it?" I asked fearing that I missed my exam. I couldn't afford to fail, this was my once chance at getting into graduate school.

Caleb stiffened bewildered with my sudden change of conversation. He pulled out his cell phone from the pocket of his sweat pants the bright light shined on his face as he read the time and day on his phone.

"Sunday 1:46 A.M. Why?" He tucked his phone back in his pocket the darkness of the room basking us dark blue and purple shadows.

I groaned becoming stressed that I was in the middle of nowhere and I was about to fail my exam. This couldn't really be happening to me, oh but it was. I bit my lip as the panic rose higher and higher making my chest feel tight. The throbbing pain growing again.

"Eve, why did you ask?" Caleb asked again. I must have been so out of it that I hadn't realized he had grabbed my hand. A soothing feeling washed over me. It was small but it helped me focus my breathing, my thoughts continued to race.

Caleb ran his thumb across my knuckles. I gazed down at my hand that he held trying to figure out why I had drawn it away from his grasp. Was I developing Stockholm syndrome?

Snapping out of it, I pulled my hand away rubbing it with my other one where his thumb rubbed.

"Can I please go home? I have classwork and a-a life." My fear of him coming back into my mind as I reminded myself once more what he was. I was slowly coming to terms with the fact that he most likely wasn't going to kill me. I was beginning to think his man was just insane not murderous.

"I need to know where you are." He told me running his hand through tossed hair. Caleb looked as if he were trying to come up with something more to say but his face was hard and frustrated.

I should have just kept my mouth shut. I should have known that he would never let me go. I was now a part of another world and I'm sure they had their own laws about what they can do to their mates, or whatever the hell I was. For all, I know he could just whisk me away and no one would ever see me again and there was no law or rule that says that he can't do that.

"Listen, with being my mate there are things you should know about it. Like the fact that the reason I can't let you out of my sights or with out protections is because being my mate buts a target on your head. Right now I it's more of an issue because I have a rat with in my pack." He paused growling lowly as he mentioned a spy with in his pack. "They have been trying to kill me over the past year and causing issues for me. Now coming across you I'm sure they aren't wasting time now planning to harm you to get to me. Your human too which makes matters worse."

The last sentence he sounded like I was somehow a burden. If I was somehow a burden then why doesn't he just leave me alone. Obviously I'm a nuisance to him so let me go home and he'll never have to see me again problem solved for the both of us.

"Do you really want to go home?" He asked me bring me out of my thoughts. I nodded my head rolling my lips in my mouth timidly. "I'll allow it, but there will be rules you have to follow."

I opened my mouth to talk but I shut them just a soon as I had opened my mouth. Don't push your luck Evelyn, for now just listen to him. Once you see a perfect escape we can take it, for now just play along.

"Do you think you can follow them?" He asked me making me lock my eyes with his.

Why were they so enchanting and why was it so addicting to look into?

"Yes." I answered him pressing my back to the dresser when Caleb stood up from the bed. He didn't move any closer to me reading my tense muscles from his presence. He was over six feet and compared to me mere five foot four frame there was a drastic height difference.

"Okay... rule one, you share your location with me and phone number. Rule number two, you are to tell me where you go and where your at, at all times." Was he serious? Now I have a stalker. "Do you understand?" He was serious.

This can't be happening. I turn twenty one years old and I'm instantly on house arrest by a werewolf.

"Do you understand?" I heard Caleb say louder grabbing my upper arm gently and lifting my face with his finger under my chin. As I looked into those ocean blue eyes I was left with no room for retaliation but it left me captivated enough that I couldn't make an audible reply. I nodded pulling away from him grip feeling nervous with his sudden closeness.

"I need to hear you say it." He demanded allowing me to reseed from him further into the shadows of the room.

Once my back touched the wall did I answer him.

"You won't bother me will you?" I asked feeling more anxious by the second. This man was about to know where I lived and go and who I talked to. He was about to know every detail about my waking life. It was nauseating to think that he would be stepping into my life unwelcome and unwanted.

"I'll call if I'm stopping by to check up on you. It's just to make sure your okay and safe. I promise I won't be a peeping Tom." He joked with a light chuckle. I could only feel more sick to my stomach at the possible thought of him being a peeping Tom.

See my face Caleb stopped his chuckling and awkwardly coughed.

"Okay..." He said still feeling awkward. He walked away from me and towards the door of the bedroom. "It's settled. I'll let you go home but you must follow these rules." He pulled the door open but didn't make a move to leave. He turned back to me and I swallowed hard anticipating something bad. "One last rule Eve this is the most important rule so listen closely. No telling anyone about what we are. Tell your sister this was all just a bad twenty first birthday prank."

I was shocked at how nonchalant Caleb was with all this. If I wasn't for the small amount of tension Caleb got when he spoke to me about a rat I would have been led to believe he wouldn't have cared where I was staying.

"Do we have ourselves a deal?" Caleb asked looking over this shoulder at me.

"Yes." I muttered under my breath. I was sure he heard me and all with his heightened senses. He was half wolf after all I reminded myself entirely amazed at how normal I made that sound to myself.

"Good then get some rest I'll take you home in the morning." He told me walking out of the room giving me a small smile before closing the door to the bed room.

What had just happened? Is he really going to keep his word on letting me go home?

I started to feel a sense of closure at the thought of being able to go home. Yet, just as sudden as I felt content I remembered the fact that I was allowing him to have a front seat in my life. There was no way to sneak help when he'd have my location 24/7.

For now I was going to have to play along.

I stood still for a couple minutes waiting to move until I didn't hear him anymore. I heard him go downstairs moving around but the noise stopped after while.

The clock on the wall now read 2:32 A.M. and my eyes were now heavier than they had been all night. I crawled into the bed and cocooned myself inside seeking comfort in the plush material.

Squeezing my eyes shut I tried not to break again into a million pieces. I knew crying wasn't going to get me any where. If I was going to get out of this situation I'd just have to go with it. A piece of me was eager to see what the future held with this man now in my life. And that part of me scared me as I found myself welcoming the eagerness.

Soon I drifted off both terrified and impatient for tomorrow.
