I wake up, I’ve been caught and put in a cage, again. This time, however, the cage is kind of…comfortable. I know I’m an animal, but I’m still human. Next to me is a cup of water, and a blanket folded up. I look up and see two guards.

“The alpha will return shortly; until then we have no choice but to keep you in here. ” Guard Number 1 says.

“If you need anything else, there will be someone guarding the door upstairs. Just shout and he will help you out,” Guard Number 2 says, as he unlocks the cage and hands me a plate of food. He walks away, but I notice that he hasn’t locked the cage.

“Hey!” I shout, making both of them stop dead in their tracks.

“You need anything?”

“No, why didn’t you lock the cage? I could escape any minute, you know?”

They look at each and just smile. “Why would we do that? You’re not a threat.”

Hearing those words made my wolf purr with happiness. It feels weird to me that people are so nice. I’m so used to everyone being mean to me. On the other hand, I also found it suspicious, because what if they saw me in my wolf form? What if they’re being nice just to kill me?

“I’m Kayden,” Guard Number 1 says.

“And I’m Donovan,” says Guard Number 2.

Regardless of me not trusting them completely, I still shake their hands.

“And you are?” Kayden asks me.

“I’m Mia.”

“Well…it’s nice to meet you, Mia.”

They flash me a smile as they both leave. I exit the cage, and I take a look around.
The fact that I’m the only one here makes it feel so creepy. I can’t help but wonder what happened to the prisoner’s that were here before me.

I hear heavy footsteps coming down the stairs, and I smell a very strong smell. Soon, a tall man steps in front of my cage, and his whole aura screams ‘alpha’. I don’t look him in the eye, since that was the rule when meeting any alpha: never look them in the eye unless they give you permission. I hear the cage open and he steps inside.

“You know you can look at me, right? I won’t hurt you.”

I slowly lift my head, and look up at him. As soon as I look into his eyes, he utters the word ‘mate’. He growls as he pulls me into his arms and holds me tight. He sniffs my head, taking in my scent and making my wolf purr with joy.

“Mine.”

So far I’ve been rejected by everyone, but him.

“My name is Darian, and I’m the alpha of Darkwood pack. ”

Darkwood pack?! Whoa! Darkwood pack is known to be the most dangerous pack. I have always heard stories about how ruthless their alpha is. People always said that the alpha kills anyone who trespassers. The way he speaks to me though, he sounds…..sweet.

“My name is Mia.”

“It’s nice to meet you, mate.” He places his hands on my cheeks.

“Let’s go meet the rest of the pack, shall we?”

Darion must have mindlinked his entire pack, because the lounge is full. I mean every single member is here.

“Can I have everyone’s attention?” Everybody stops what they are doing and all eyes are on us.

“I want you to meet my mate, Mia, your Luna.”

Everyone starts cheering as people come up to me and introduce themselves. “Hi, I’m Robyn, I’m Kayden’s mate.”

“And I’m Chelsey, Donovan’s mate. It’s nice to meet you.”

They tell me about how weird it feels to see their alpha with a woman. Turns out, Darian has never been romantically involved with a female before. I actually find it cute that he saved himself for his mate, despite it taking so long.

“Welcome to Darkmoon Pack, my love,” Darian whispers in my ear.

This is when I know my life here will be everything I have ever wanted. These are the people that the moon goddess told me about, I can feel it.

Tell us: What is your opinion about Mia’s new pack? How do you think Darian will treat her?
