Chapter 13:

As soon as Sophia woke up she instantly grew a smile. Lying there on her stomach images of last night clouded her mind. Luke and her making love until dawn, the way he touched her, the way she touched him, it was like they were the only two in the world. Luke's touch and the way it made Sophia feel started to make her aroused, just her thinking about it. She wanted Luke too touch her, she wanted too touch him. Still lying on her stomach, Sophia turned her head to look at Luke who was on the other side of her…or at least she thought he was. As soon as Sophia turned her head to look at Luke, she had seen that Luke was not there!

Sophia instantly sat up and brought the sheet up to cover her breasts. Sitting on the bed, Sophia brought her knees up to her chest. Taking in a whiff of air, Sophia easily picked up Luke's scent. Then it dawned on her that Luke was with her all last night so of course his scent would be in her room. Keeping her options open, she thought this was the best time to get the hang and practice with her new keen abilities of her wolven side. Closing her eyes, and clearing her mind, Sophia concentrated on one thing and one thing only Luke. She focused on his face clear down to his feet any and all images to find where he was. Sophia searched the entire house and a good three block radius for Luke without leaving her bed and came up with nothing. Finally after, scanning the entire area for a good fifteen minutes, as each minute passed, Sophia's heart sank deeper and deeper.

"He just left…he left me…he used me and left me." After her last statement, tears came pouring out of Sophia's eyes. Her worst fears had come true Luke had just used her. After crying on her bed until she could not cry anymore, Sophia got up and put on a pair of pajama pants with little green frogs on them and its matching tank top, pulled her hair up with a clip and headed down stairs. Sitting on the couch, Sophia looked around and had thought after thought of what had happened. She saw the way Luke looked at her and what he said and knew that he meant it…but maybe it was something Sophia wanted so bad she was blind to the truth. Presley was right she flipped and the mystery was gone. She was right he just used me. As soon as that last thought came to her mind, and her eyes began to water again, Sophia heard the door handle on the front door turn and saw it open. Luke came walking in with a brown paper bag being carried in one arm while a black duffel bag was being carried on the same shoulder. Making eye contact with Sophia a smile came across Luke's face from ear to ear. As soon as Sophia saw him, Sophia developed a sheepish grin and slowly stood up from the couch using her hands to cover her mouth from showing him her excitement.

"Hey, babe…you gonna help me?"

Sophia quickly ran over to Luke and jumped into his arms while he still had the two bags in his hands. Sophia wrapped her legs around Luke's waist and wrapped her arms around his neck and began kissing him so passionately that Luke began to moan out sounds of approval. After breaking the kiss, Luke pulled back, "well I missed you too". Luke automatically noticed that Sophia's eyes were puffy and that she had been crying. Letting Sophia jump back down so she stood on her own two feet, Luke's hand went beneath her chin and brought it up so she was looking in to her eyes, "hey…was you crying?"

"Yeah…um…it…was nothing." Noticing that Luke was not buying her story, "okay, I woke up this morning and thought you know…that you um…just used me and left me…I though one of my worst fears came true."

Giving her a quick peck on the lips and saw that Sophia was smiling, "I would never leave you. I went to my house to pick up a few things." Sophia grew a smile and raised her eyebrows with a 'what do you think you are doing look'. "I thought since the sheriff was out of town for a couple days, he might want someone to look after his little girl."

Putting her hands on her waist, "well I think he would appreciate anyone looking out for me, I am not sure how ecstatic he would be knowing that…" pointing at him, "you are the one who is watching me."

"Good point."

"What's in the bag?"

"Well I was hungry, so I figured if I was and after the energy burned last night", both smiling, "I knew you would be hungry…" walking past Sophia into the kitchen, "and I don't cook, but I wanted to surprise you, so I went to the diner and picked up some cinnamon rolls and some bacon-bagel sandwiches."

"You didn't have to do that, I would have made us something, and unlike you I can cook."

Placing the brown paper bag on the counter and dropping his duffel bag on the floor next to his feet, Luke grabbed Sophia's hands and lifted her onto the counter and stood in between her legs and began kissing her neck. "Well I didn't want to waste any extra time that we would have for ourselves."

"Ohhhh."

Pulling back to look at Sophia, "I um…last night didn't hurt you or anything…um you are alright aren't you?"

Resting her hands onto his shoulders, "Luke I think after the third time last night, I think I was okay".

Giving her a playful smile, "yeah well, I couldn't help myself, if you want to blame anyone blame yourself".

"Me?"

"Yeah, if you hadn't thrown yourself at me, and look so damn sexy I probably could have resisted".

"I don't remember you putting up too much of a fight". After a long pause, "Luke, last night did something seem different?"

"I told you what was different for me Sophia, I love you."

"No, I mean…last night it seemed like that I don't know…like I could feel everything that you were feeling, I could feeling every part of you body that was tingling, and I could read every thought that you had…does that seem different".

"That is why you need to take Wolf History Sophia."

"What do you mean?"

"It is told that when two become one for the first time, and they feel not only their inner passion and emotions, but see their thoughts as well, and also see their lovers and feel their passion and emotions, then they are…um…you know…mates. Last night I had the same feelings that you had. Only reason I know about it, is because one Sherman discussed this in class and my dad told me about it. He said that he has only experienced it twice. Did you feel a connection like it was only us in the world?"

"Yeah. Wow, pretty, intense. I guess Ruby was right she said um…"

"What?"

"That we were mates. She said everyone has know since we were little but she said that everyone will know positively once they find out that I am the white wolf".

"You okay about that?"

"I am a white wolf…its not like I can change that."

"No…I mean about me and you being mates."

After staring at him and a long pause, "I don't know there is just so much going on…but I do love you Luke".

Looking down at what Sophia had said, Luke was hurt that she did not respond instantly and said "yes, I can't wait to be your mate" but also understood that Sophia had been through so much this past couple week and could see where she was coming from. Luke then quickly raised his head to have his eyes meet Sophia's, "Soph we don't have to rush or decide anything yet, let's just see what two white wolves mean and then we'll go from there".

"You sure?"

"Yeah, as long as I am with you, we will deal with the rest as it comes at us". Leaning down Sophia kissed Luke and was interrupted by her stomach growling. "I told ya, you would be hungry."

Luke and Sophia sat at the kitchen table eating their breakfast, talking and debating about various things from music to movies, occasionally giving each other a kiss when one noticed that the other was losing the argument to soften the mood. However, the phone ringing interrupted the flirtascious breakfast. Getting up Sophia picked it up, "hello?"

"Dad…" quickly looked at Luke. Both smiles that each had worn quickly turned to a straight face of worry. "No I was not feeling as well as I thought I should have listened to you and Sherman…No…yeah…yeah…I'm okay, we have food here, I'll be okay until you get home. What time will you be home tomorrow…4:30…it depends how I feel…did ya…thanks…okay, I love you too, be careful…bye". Sophia turned around to face Luke.

"What's going on?"

Coming back to sit down next to him, "oh the school called his cell phone to let him know that I was not in school, so he covered for me and told them I was sick and would be out today and tomorrow. I told him depends on how I feel if I feel like going".

"Honey, I am sorry. My mom called me told me that the school called her too. I told her that I was going to be staying with you a couple days. I forgot to warn you, we got sidetracked. So you dad will be home at 4-4:30 tomorrow?"

"Yeah, he said it might be longer, he wanted to stop by the sheriffs office, and check in with Mr. Kannin".

"If he is even in. I mean for all we know he's out hunting my sister."

"Luke, I know you don't like him, but he loves Ruby, this entire town has given him the runaround and the third degree. Which leads him to ask more questions. Look at it from his point of view", Luke just looked at her and sighed, "listen Luke…I don't want to talk about Kannin, Ruby, your mom, my dad, school, nothing, I just want to spend this short time that we have and use it wisely". Giving him a sly smile, "what do you say?"

Standing up, Luke walked beside Sophia and reached down and grabbed his hands and helped pull her up, gesturing with one hand towards the stairs, "you have seemed to adjust to your new self haven't ya", shaking his head and smiling, "its always the quiet ones…ladies first." Sophia quickly darted upstairs and followed by Luke straight into Sophia's bedroom.

I know I have focused a lot on Luke/Sophia, but I do plan on incorporating more of the characters seen on the show. They are just the base work that is setting up for my other directions of plots I have planned for the other characters.
