I would like to thank my wonderful beta reader SilverWindAurora.
What the hell happened and where the hell am I? Last thing I remember is talking to this guy outside the store. As if my life wasn't hard enough being the adopted daughter of Stefan Uccello. Now I have people I don't know talking about me like I'm not here. "Is she going to make it?" said an unknown female "Yeah the change is already starting. Her wounds are starting to heal." replied a male voice "Who is she?" came another male voice "I don't know. We will have to wait until she wakes up to ask her." said the first male I tried to open my eyes but all they did was twitch at first so I tried again. This time they opened. "Your awake." said the first male, coming to stand by my bedside. He was dark haired with rich chocolate brown eyes, he had a tan and was muscular. Not a sore sight to see either. "Where am I?" I asked "Your safe" said the other male. He was tall and built like a Chippendales dancer, he had light blue eyes and ash brown hair. He wasn't actually handsome but he wasn't ugly either. "That's not what I asked " I was starting to get annoyed. "I'm Adam Hauptman. I'm the local alpha of the Columbia Basin Pack and this is my mate Mercy, you are in the safe room in my home." "Why am I here and not in a hospital?" I asked confused, "Were is my father?" "You were attacked by a rogue. Hospitals aren't really equipped to deal with new werewolves." said the blue eyed male "And who are you?" I asked a little taken aback by all that was happening. "I'm sorry my name is Samuel Cornick." He said with a genuine smile. "Can you tell us your name? Then we can find your father" asked Adam. "My name is Ellie Uccello." I said "My father is Stefan." "Stefan as in the vampire Stefan?" Said Mercy, she was shorter than me about 5'6" and definitely Native American but not full blooded, her features were too Anglo for her darker coloring. "That would be the one I would be referring to." I said, they all looked surprised, interested to say the least. "I didn't know he even had a daughter and I have known him for years" said Mercy. " He kept me very well hidden" I said "I would say he did." Said Adam "How long have I been here?" I asked getting worried. "A couple of days." said Sam "My dad is probably freaking out by now." I said sitting up "Easy your not fully healed yet." said Sam as he adjusted the pillows "I'm alright." I said smiling "I'll go in the other room and call your dad." said Mercy "We caught the rogue that attacked you." said Adam "He should be here as soon as the sun goes down." said Mercy coming back into the room "Does Marsilia know about you?" Asked Adam "Yeah and she was not happy about it. Remember when my dad tried to leave the seethe and Marsilia took his menagerie?" Adam gave a curt nod. "Well she thought I was part of his menagerie, and when she realized that I had never been feed from, she freaked out. She tried to make him drink from me and when he wouldn't, she locked us in a room together and starved him. After a few days she decided to make him think that she had killed his people. She kept telling him that if he got hungry enough he would feed but he never did. She finally realized that he would die before he fed from me, so she took me and put me with the rest of his managerie. She kept us until he agreed to come back to her seethe. You never saw me because he didn't want you to. He thought it would keep me safe, a lot of good that did." I said shaking my head in disbelief at all that has happened. "I thought I'd seen you somewhere before. It was in his memories." said Mercy coming to realization. "We have somethings to do and Sam has to go to work." Adam spoke up "Ok " I said, still worried about my father and what was going to happen to me. "We are going to leave someone with you, just in case you need anything." Said Adam noticing my mood. Someone walked in the door, I tried my best to peek around Adam to see who it was. And thats when I saw him, I knew exactly who it was. But I didn't let Adam know, even though I wasn't too happy about it. "And who is this?" I asked "This is Ben Shaw, he will get you anything you need." Said Adam with more of a commanding manner to Ben. To most women Ben wasn't bad looking, to me he was gorgeous. He had pale almost white blonde hair, blue-green eyes, and the british accent was absolutely awesome. He was taller than Adam and me by a few inches anyway. "Yeah I bet he will." I said laughing. He just glared at me. "I will let you two get to know each other." said Adam leaving the room and shutting the door. Ben's pov Why did it have to be her? The one woman I ever let myself have feelings for and I walked away from. She's perfect five foot nine, 125, blonde hair, almost silver eyes and the daughter of a vampire. Now I can't even look her in the eye, I know she hates me. She has every right to after all, I just left one day and stopped talking to her. Now I have to be stuck in a room alone with her for who knows how long.
