Anna woke up in a pool of sweat. She throw her blanket off of her. She sat up, vision blurry. She close her eyes, and relax for a minute. I feel horrible. Anna got up, and grab a pair of pants, and a shirt from her dresser. She walk into the hallway, and into the bathroom. She undress, and went into the shower. She was hot, so she turn the nozzle to make the water freezing. Ah, that feels good. She wash up, and put on her clothes. She walk downstairs smelling bacon. That smells good. She walk into the kitchen seeing Lucas, and her mother laughing. Her eyes narrowed at them. Her mother look up at her smiling.

"Hello dear, foods on the stove" Her mother pointed toward the direction of the food. She move toward the cabinet to grab a plate listening onto their conversation.

"So Lucas are you planning on enrolling to school?" Her mother ask him. Please say no. Anna thought. She did not want to be in the house with Lucas let alone go to school with him. What would she tell her friends? Hello everyone this is Lucas, my so call mate, soul mate, whatever you want to call it. Sure that would do. She wish he would go back to wherever he was from. She sat down at the table with her food.

"Well, I was actually thinking about that?" Lucas grinned at Anna. She sign with a snort. Her mom kept going on.

"So, Anna are you ready for the fair today?" Oh crap, I forgot about that. Anna nodded.

"Ya, I forgot about that." She lower her eyes, and bit her lip. The talent show, why did I ever sign up for that. There is no way in hell I'm dancing in front of Lucas.

"Lucas, Anna sign up for the talent show with her friends. Want to come watch her?" No, I hate you. Why would you ask him that? Ok, think Anna. You can get out of this. Well, maybe he'll say no. Act normal.

"Well, I would love that" Dang it, ok think. Got it, I'm sick. Anna started to play cough.

"Mom, actually I'm feeling a little under the weather. I woke up sweaty, and my throat is sore." Lucas tilted his head towards Anna, and lay his hand on top of hers.

"All signs of the change Anna, it would be better for you to move around." Anna jaw drop, and stare at him. She wanted to kill him. Yes, a slow death would do. She gasp, and shook her head no.

"Umm… I… I think I should stay home." Lucas shook his head.

"Anna, you should go. Anyway, I would love to see your act. It would please me." Please you, what the hell? I am pleasing no one. She look at Lucas in astonishment.

"Yes, honey you should go. It will be fun." Anna could tell she was not going to win this battle. So, she gave sharp nod. Somehow she will find a way out of this. She finish the last bet of her breakfast, and stand up walking to the sink to wash her dish off. She put her dish in the dishwasher, turn around towards her mother.

"Well, mom I'm going to get dress." Her mother nodded, and keeping all her attention to Lucas. My mom loves him. Anna shook her head, and headed upstairs to change into her outfit. She grab the bag out of her closet, and unzip it. It was a school girls costume. Alice, and Becka wanted to do that song by Brittany Spears' Crazy, so they all will be dress like school girls in pony tails. Anna put on her costume, and fix her hair into bouncy ponytails. She look at the mirror, and started to laugh. I look crazy, why did I agree to this. She look at the clock, 9:30. The show started at 10:30, so she grab her phone, and purse. She walk out of the room, and pause right where she stood. Lucas was standing in front of her. He look good, and smell wonderful. He was wearing a tan shirt that show his muscles, and black pants. He did that wonderful kill me now smile. Anna gasp "Wow" She said, with realizing she did. He giggle.

"Wow yourself, is this your costume?" He look her up and down. Anna folded her arms around her waist, feeling embarrassed.

"Yah" She whisper.

"Wow, ever man's dream come true." He circle her checking out her outfit.

"What do you mean?" She ask turning herself toward him, she was not going to give him the benefit of checking out her body.

"Well, seeing a beautiful woman dressing up like a innocent school girl." He winked at her. "It is quite…" He seem to struggle with the right word. "Amusing" He finally blurted out. Anna felt outrage. What a pervert, selfish bastard. She narrow her eyes at him in furry pressing her lips in a strong line. She step closer to him. She look him up and down, and slip him across the face.

"ouch" He yell, covering the red cheek with his hand.

"What was that for?" He demanded. She tilted her head.

"For being a pervert" She started to walk away, and stop before the stairs.

"And because I felt like it." Lucas look at her, She is a firecracker, I have my work cut of for me. Anna was confused, she would swear she hear his voice him her head. He could of not said that, his lips were not moving. I'm going crazy. She walk down the stair, and hear her phone beep. She grab it out of her purse, and saw a text message was waiting for her.

Sup babe, I'm waiting for you at the fair. Anna laugh, and quickly text back. Sure daddy, Your little school girl is on her way. Anna was going to be with Jeremy, his safe. Jeremy's always been there for her, and she knew him like the back of her hand. He was sweet, and cute in his own way. Lucas is sweet too! Anna thought, she shook her head. His a pervert, why would he be sweet. He just wanted to be with her because of what her father was. Because she is a so call princess. He just wants to be with me to be a king, and kings marries princesses, but not me. No, nana, he will not have me. I'm Jeremy's. So ha. Anna told herself, and to clarify her conclusion his words repeat in her head. You are to be my queen one day. You are a princess, and I'm a prince. When we marry you well become my queen. That jerk, she knew it. She grab her keys, and yell

"I'm leaving, see you there Mom"

"Ok honey" Anna storm to her car, and turn the ignition. She pull out, and drove to the fair.

She arrived at the fair, and call Jeremy to see where he was. He picked up on the first ring.

"Anna?"

"Ya, where are you at?"

"Well, keep walking straight ahead." Anna did what she was told.

"I don't see you Jeremy." Her eyes searching, but not coming up with anything.

"Anna look behind you" She did, and he stood right there. He was looking very cute. He laugh.

"What are you wearing?"

"You don't like it?"

"Well, of course. I just don't like the way guys are looking at you." He wrap his arm around her.

"It's my costume for the talent show, and we have to find the stage soon, it's start in…" She look down at her phone.

"Crap ten minutes."

"It's ok babe. We will make it in time, I already found it." Anna felt relief, and cradled even closer to Jeremy. He lead her towards her friends.

"Hey girls, you look good?" Alice laugh,

"Well, you scare us Anna. We thought you would not show up."

"Sorry Alice. So what's going on so far?" Becka pointed towards Brittany.

"That wanna be is trying to steal are act." Brittany was dress up like a slut, well she was a slut. The most popular girl in school. Blonde hair, skinny, and perfect all around. She was a cheerleader, and would always try to insult me. Always saying little nothings, Anna's a freak, Oh my God what is she wearing. Anna roll her eyes. She look through the crowed seeing her mother. Lucas was no were no be found. Good, maybe I scared him off. She thought. She look towards Jeremy, and then Lucas came out of nowhere in front of her.

"Hello Anajolie"

"I thought you would chicken out, after the slapping" She winkled her nose.

"Funny, but that weak slap would not keep me from seeing this." He assure her. Jeremy turn around after talking with Alice.

"So babe you ready? They will call you guys up.." His sentence die off, and smile at Lucas. "Um… Hi, I did not see ya there, My names Jeremy." Lucas looked him up and down, and lift a brow. He look at Anna.

"This is way" Anna was not sure what the hell he was talking about. She was just going to ask him. When the announcers call her group.

"Everyone welcome the crazy buzz killas" She walk up with her friends. She did her little number on stage. She caught a couple of glimpse's at Lucas, he was starring at her, and his mood did not look present. Was he jealous? No, he can't be. She thought while she was dancing. Their show ended, and she walk towards Jeremy, he gave her a kiss, and hug her. He whisper "You where great" Anna could sense that Lucas was looking at them, but wash the feeling away.

"Thanks" She mummer at Jeremy. Anna and everyone stay to see who won the talent contest. Unfortually, The Crazy Buzz Killas did not win. Anna did not care, she had fun. She walk down by the rides with Jeremy.

"So Anna, I want to ask you something?" Anna tilted her head towards him in curiosity.

"Ya?" She asked.

"Well, I'm a little confuse. I must say, are we back together? Like a couple again? I have to ask because if we are I don't want to mess it up this time." Jeremy's words repeated in her head. I don't want to mess it up again? Did he think we broke up last time because of him? Anna stop, and face him directly.

"It was never your fault we broke up Jeremy" She spit out.

"I know, but in some ways I feel it was. I guess I have always care about you, and felt like I'm always pushing you." Anna shook her head.

"No, you have never push me to do anything. I'm sorry Jeremy, it's all me. I'm the problem. I guess I'm scare of commitment or something. Well, to answer your questions I would not say together yet. I want to be with you, but I want to go slow. You know one step at a time." Jeremy nodded.

"Ok, slow. I can do that." Jeremy reach up and touch her check. Caressing slowly, his hand sliding down. He lead in towards her, and touch his lips with hers. Kissing her slowly, but nice. Safe, and nice. Anna thought. Her thoughts going a minute an hour. Why is Lucas kiss more passionate? What the hell? I can't be thinking of him when I'm kissing Jeremy. She clear her thoughts, and paid more attention to Jeremy. He release her with the cutest smile lingering on his lips. Anna look over his shoulder, not thinking why. She saw the most crazy think. Emotions swam through her taking over her body. She just stood there watching. Lucas was with Brittany making out. She was all laughing while he kiss her meaningless, saying sweet nothing in her ear. The sight of that made her sick. What was wrong with her? She did not care who he dig his tough into. Her body seem to be right in front of them before she even realize she was walking towards them. Why did she walk over here? Who knows? It was like her body acted on instinct. I'm going to beat the hell out of the slut, he is mine. Suddenly taken back by her thought. He isn't mine. She was just about to walk away, when Lucas look up. He lifted his glaze in shock.

"Um… Hello Anajolie, did you need something?" She shook her head. She blurted the first thing that came in mind.

"Um..Um…" She hesitated "I was just looking for the… um… bathroom" She nodded. Brittany shook her head.

"Sorry freak, but this is a make out session not a peep show. I know you don't get none, but you don't have to ruin it for me." Anna was pissed, her body was shaking with anger. Screw this. Before she knew it she had a good chuck of that dumb blonde hair in her hand. Brittany holding her head screaming. That did not keep Anna from jumping forward towards her. She was not going to show any kindness. She knock Brittany on her back, Anna pin her down with her legs. She punch her in the face.

"Get off of me you Bitch!" Brittany yelled. Anna's instincts take over her. Someone grab her from behind, and pull her out of Brittany. She kick, and throw punches everywhere. Her aim was for whoever pull her out of her prey.

"Anna, stop" She heard someone say, but was to deep in her concentration of Brittany to figure who it was. She gave Brittany a dirty look, before some felt her over their shoulder. She kept punching the person who was holding her, she could hear Brittany screaming at her.

"I'm going to kill her….My hair…Lucas…Lucas…" She yelled.

"Lucas" Anna whisper. Could he be the one holding her? She hope he was, she wanted to hurt him. Hurt him badly at that. Cheating son of a…Her thought was cut off.

"Anna, what go into you?" It was Lucas. Hearing his voice sent her into a frenzy. She kick, punch, scratch, anything to hurt him. She throw of full blown kick, and felt his hand grab her leg in full air. She grabbed her, and throw her on the ground. He's body on top of her in a instinct. He was fast, and very strong. He pin her down with his body.

"Vicious little thing you are." He said, golden eyes holding her captive. She jiggle her body, trying to break his hold.

"Get off of me!" She yell at him. Still moving to break his hold.

"You know if I was you, I would stop moving" He press his body closer to her. Her eyes widen at the hard pokey feeling she felt on her leg.

"Oh my God" She said. He had a bonnier.

"Well, I'm not God, but I'm the next best thing" He giggle at his remark. Anna stood still not moving a inch. "Well, if you clam down I'll take you home" She nodded.

"If you try to hit me, I'll pin you down again. I won't be nice this time through." He stood up, and grab her hand swinging her up quickly. She jerk her hand back. Anna look around seeing she was in the parking lot.

"How did we get here?" She ask.

"Well, I brought you of course." Lucas walk in front of her, by a black BMW. He open the passenger side door for her. She shook her head no.

"I have my own car, thank you." Lucas look at Anna.

"Get in, or I will have to force you." Anna look to the side, she could just ran to her car.

"Do not think about it Anajolie. I can catch you" She narrow her glaze at him. Could he read her mind. He started to take steps toward you. He's serious. Anna throw her arms in the air.

"Fine" she scold him, and walk to the car, and shut the door. Lucas came in the drivers sit, and started the car. Anna plan to not say a word to him, but that did not happen.

"How can you afford a car like this?" She ask out of curiosity. Lucas pull out, and drove out of the parking lot.

"Well, I am a prince. I can afford anything I want." Perfect answer. She thought.

"Anna, what happen?" She look out of the window, noticing it started to rain.

"I don't know, I was mad. Brittany had it coming" Lucas laugh.

"Why are you laughing at me?" He moved his head side to side.

"I was not laughing at you sweetheart, I was laughing at the situation." He let out a sign.

"Anna, your instinct took control over you. If I did not stop you…" He shook his head, Anna now was worry.

"What would I have done?"

"Probably, tear Brittany's throat out."

"What? I would not of done that."

"Well, Anna you were protecting. Your thoughts were scramble. What I got out of it was no good. You target your prey, and went for it. Animal Instinct. Protecting, and procession. I'm your mate, and you were mad at seeing me with Brittany. I'm sorry Anna, but you were all over that human." Anna could not believe what she was hearing.

"I do not want you as a mate."

"Why do you fight it? The human is safe for you. That's why you stray to him. Anna we are meant to be together. Your scared, and I can sense it. Your scared of what you feel for me. You should not be scared. What you can have with me will be real. You can not have that with a human. You are a werewolf, a shifter, a protector."

"What do you mean protector?"

"Well, werewolf's are the protector for the living, away from vampires, demons. That sort of thing." Anna was shock. Vampires, demons.

"Are you saying demons, vampires are real" Lucas nodded his head.

"Explain werewolf, I need to know" Lucas hesitated for a moment but kept going.

"We are a race. Have a king, and queen who rule." He pointed towards me and him.

"A strong army, we have been at war with Vampires for many decades. They are enemies. We can switch into wolf form anytime we want after the first time. Men go through their first time by themselves, it makes us stronger. Woman have to have their mate with them. Something brings the male to his mate before she has her transformation. He helps her through it, without her mate she would die."

"Wait die?"

"Yes, Anna without a mate, the transformation is to strong. The male ease some pain from the woman with a kiss."

"Ok, so doing the transformation you kiss me?" She asked

"Yes, it is like a mark that your mine. After the transformation you will feel…um… urges, and then when that happens you will eventually bare my mark."

"Ok mark, urges?" She ask carefully. Lucas was quiet for a couple of minutes. Anna could tell his was uncomfortable with the subject.

"Lucas" She urge him to tell her.

"The kiss is like marriage, and then after you change back you will feel sexual, and want your mate. Then when it happens… ahh." he turn the car off. Anna could not believe they were home already.

"ok"

"Maybe you should talk to your mother" definitely uncomfortable. Anna thought it was a little cute that Lucas felt that way.

"Lucas sexual and what"

"The male marks you with his teeth." Anna gasp. No way. His crazy if he thinks he's going to bite me.

"Why?" Anna could not help but ask.

"Well, to claim you, and mix the scent of your mate with you. When someone walks by you they will know your taken."

"Oh my gosh, bitten where?" Lucas tilted his head.

"Usally, the neck, or somewhere by that"

"You sure we are not vampires" Lucas gave her a hard glaze.

"No Anna, we are not." He sounded a little annoyed, so she decided to leave it alone. She open the door, and started to walk towards the house. She known that Lucas was behind her. She could smell him. His scent was wonderful, like a spicy, flower, organic smell. She couldn't explain it. The smell of him made her want to jump on him. She stop and turn around. Lucas eyes were on her.

"Your beautiful" He said to her. Anna was surprise from his comment.

"Um.. Thanks Lucas." She lifted her hand, and place it over his chest. He felt good, right. She move closer to him, with thinking. She sat her head on his chest, feeling his hands come around her. Holding her, she fit perfectly in his arms. Like she was meant for him. Maybe being with Lucas is a good idea. She stood there with him, breathing in his wonder scent. Feeling comfort in his arms. Lucas stroke her hair, and she nozzle even closer to him.

"I think you should go sleep Anna" He suggested to her. Anna was tired, and nodded her head. She felt too weak to move through. Lucas seem to notice it, and grab behind her legs. Sweeping her off her feet. She wrap her arms around his neck, holding for support. She close her eyes, and let him carry her.

Anna open her eyes, blurry vision came. She had a scary feeling. She sat up, and saw a dark figure standing by her closet. The figure walk over toward her. She close her eyes, and reopen them. He was gone. She walk over, and turn her light on. She was scare. She look at the clock. It was two in the morning. She try to lay on her bed, and fall asleep with her light on. The feeling did not feel right with her. She got up, and open her door. She look at the guest bedroom, and walk towards it. She look down and saw she did not have her pajamas on. She went back in her room, and change in her red hot pajamas. She went back in the hall way, and knock on Lucas door. She open it slowly. Lucas sat up a little.

"Anna" He said sluggish. "What's wrong?" He asked her. She walk towards him.

"I'm scared, can I sleep with you tonight?" She asked. Lucas lifted the blanket inviting her in. She laid down on the bed, cuddling against him. Lucas wrap his arm around her waist, and pull her closer to him.

"What's wrong sweetheart?" He whisper in her ear.

"I don't know, I just have a bad feeling." Lucas kiss her on her head, through her hair.

"I'll keep you safe." He promised. She felt right with him, felt safe. In a way she felt a little wrong being in Lucas's arms, when she still felt something for Jeremy. She shake off the thought, she was scared, and Lucas would let no arm come to her. She close her eyes, and blank out her mind of thoughts . She fell asleep in his arms.
