So much hard planning and work went in to this, Im so upset that I cant have all my friends and family be here to see me marry my best friend and soulmate. *takes deep breath* but God knows what my plan is and i have to trust him in this right, let it fall into his hands.

CHAPTER 13

**Also remember its still super late, just a little after midnight and bella is heading up to try and sleep some more.**

Bella p.o.v

I walked off the elevator slowly. The shock of Sam's anger and strength was so overwhelming. Ya I put two and two together that everyone here was most likely supernatural beings. You'd have to be a cosmic dumb ass to not notice the way everyone here acted, oh and lets not forget the fucking werewolf war that happened right in their damn front yard! Silent tears started blubbering out of my eyes. I couldn't stop them from running down my face. the anger, frustration and worry making them fall fast and hard. I think I was finally having a nervous breakdown. Maybe this was just my subconscious finally coping fully, like….my brain is totally coming to terms that this is really my life for the forever future. Well, better late than never right. But i knew what would help me- I just wanted to be near Lucas, he always calmed me down.

The early morning colors of dawn poked through the windows of my room as I open my door and walk over to the king sized bed, I noticed theirs a little lump in the middle of the bed underneath the duvet. I calmly walk over and slightly pull the cover up enough to reveal a little iron man clad toosh poking up in the air. Lucas always slept like this, his feet and knees tucked under him and completely encased under the blankets. The boy loved to snuggle and be toasty warm. I pulled the blankets back a little more and slowly crawl to the middle, scoop him up in my arms, being careful to not wake him and I lay us both up higher to the headboard.

I kiss LuLu's head and close my eyes, welcoming sleep. All was going to be okay as long as Lucas was safe and happy then nothing else mattered to me.

But what the hell was everyone talking about with them calling me Luna, everyone bending over backwards for me, no one stopping Sam from trying to kill Jake, and then Paul calling me Sams mate. With those thoughts weighing heavy on my mind I start to fall asleep.

Lucas stirred a little in his sleep, but it was still way to early for him to be getting up. I reach over gently and stroke his eyebrows softly helping him to settle back down. Mom used to do that to both myself and Lucas when ever we were sick or distressed. It was so soothing, we both loved it. It always worked, Luke went straight back to sleep as did I.

**THE NEXT MORNING**

"But I cant leave my big sister, Bella needs me." Lucas' anxious voice starts to wake me up, he was trying to stay quite I could tell by the way he tried to whisper. By the closeness of the whispers it was clear they were somewhere inside the room. My guess is Sam had brought Luke over to the couch to talk.

"I know buddy, but look how tired she is. Lets leave her to sleep. You go shopping with Uncle Paul and buy all kinds of cool toys and stuff for your new room, I promise to stay here and look after her Bud." Sam says. His whisper much better then Lucas's, but I'm still able to hear them.

"Anything I want? And you promise to use your wolfy to protect her encase bad guys show back up, okay.?"

"I promise." Sam chuckles.

I honestly don't know why I stayed under the covers and pretend to be sleeping. But I did. Maybe it was because I wanted to see how Sam acts with Lucas, maybe I just wanted to see if Sam said anything significant to LuLu or maybe I just was enjoying the peace I felt knowing my family was safe. So I continued to hide under the massive mountain of covers- That is until the door clicked silently and I hear the fast thudding of Lucas' little feet running down the hallway.

"I know you're awake, Bella." His whispers. Sam's husky voice was close, like right next to my ear. Damn, how did he know? I take a deep breath and slowly push the blankets back, slowly sitting up in bed. Sams tortured sounding groan brings my attention up to meet his hungry eyes. He gives a pointed look down to my body then back up to my face. I frown and look down. My eyes widen and I gasp, my hand fumbles to fix my spaghetti straps on my nightie, somehow the top had twisted around, one of my tits was sticking out of the arm hole. I blush hard and hear him clear his throat. Normally I wouldn't have really minded- I mean shit the first time we had met I was practically naked and was grinding on him- So why was i being all bashful now!

I finally get the courage to look up at him through the curtain of my messy morning hair. He wasn't even looking at me he was staring down at the ground like it was the most interesting thing in the world. His brows were pinched and I could see the tips of his ears starting to turn bright red. Weird thing was, I found it completely adorable, also I thought I'd be scared to be around him, after how he acted last-er-early this morning, but sitting here watching him avoid my eyes at all cost and turn red was too cute.

"Can we talk now, Kitten.?" He mumbles while awkwardly scratching behind his neck. what happened to the big confident- leather jacket wearing- sexy smelling- lopsided smirking Samuel I was so familiar with. You could feel the tension in the air. it sizzled and choked around us. He seemed so different from the way he acted last night. The Sam from last night was angry, possessive and out for blood. Now he seemed...contrite and ashamed. I was getting emotional whiplash from his bipolar tendencies.

"Depends Sam. Are you going to stare at the floor the entire time?" I respond, fighting back a smirk that was playing on my lips.

"I-i'm afraid to see tears in your eyes again because your afraid of me. Please don't fear me, I would never hurt you. Or Lucas for that matter." My smirk instantly vanished. I try to swallow the emotional lump in my throat. There was so much vulnerability in his voice, it quivered and broke with unshed tears.

Wait...What? Is he talking about what happened last night? I mean, Yeah I was freaked out and Yeah I was scared Sam was going to kill Jake and Okay yes, for like 2 minutes I contemplated if Sam would ever turn that furry and strength on me and Lucas but once I had finally laid down and relaxed I knew deep down Sam -And anyone else that lived here- would never hurt us.

Though ever since I met Sam he has always walked, talked and acted with strong confidence. The guy who never showed any kind of weakness and yet here he is afraid to even look at me because he is scared he'll see fear on my face; It brought out strong feelings from with in me. My instincts were urging me to go to him, wrap my arms around him, hold him tightly and tell him everything was fine. I seriously don't get my emotions and thoughts about this man. I hate him for kidnapping me but I want to show him compassion and care. What the fuck is going on!

"Please look at me so we can talk. I really need answers Sam. My brain is so confused about all this. I hate you for kidnapping me and taking me and my brother away from everything we know. And still I care about you AND everyone else around here! I feel safe when your with me," Ending my rant in a whisper, pausing to take a breath then start back up on my rant.

"I get warm fuzzy feelings when ever I see you or your people with my little brother...I mean I fucking trust you all SAM!. I'm convinced I'v got Stockholm Syndrome. Cant you understand where I'm coming from here!?" I rush out.

He finally looks up to meet my gaze and my breath hitches in my throat. His eyes held so many raw emotion, It made them look like warm pots of swirling dark chocolate. His -oh so suckable- bottom lip trapped between his sharp teeth. As bad as it sounds, all I could think about was what his lips would feel like against my own; kissing them, licking them, nibbling on them, and sucking on them, feeling them around my hard nipples. Sam approaching the bed broke me from my little fantasy. He was kneeling down on the ground to my right side by the bed resting his forearms close to my leg and reach out to take my right hand.

"I promised you answers and you will get them. Where do you want me to start, Kitten?" He whispers as he tucked a strip of hair behind my ear.

"Why did you kidnap me?" I blurt out, taking a breath. A genuine smile crosses his face. The kind of smile that can make a girl go weak in the knees. Thank goodness I was sitting in the bed.

"The simple answer Kitten is, because you're mine." I narrow my eyes, cross my arms and huff in annoyance. Dose he think this is funny? If he isn't going to give me serious answers then I'm not going to show anymore of my nice side. I brush past him and go to the bedroom door to throw him out.

"No, No, No. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Don't throw me out, please." His hand shoots out and grabs my wrist with a gentle but firm tug, I fall back into his arms precariously balanced over his legs. He had moved from the floor to sit on the edge at the end of the bed. Sams fast reflexes had left me breathless and a little surprised.

"When I say your mine, I mean that you're the other half to my soul. My one true love. My Luna...My Mate." Having a feeling this was going to be a serious conversation, i wanted to make sure I wasn't distracted by the pleasant tingles his touch gave me so I wiggle out of his grasp and sit next to him on the bed. I turn to face him; placing one leg folded under me and the other bent at the knee to rest my chin on it, wrapping my arms tightly so my bent knee was tucked close to my body and waited quietly for him to continue. Sam takes a deep breath then runs his fingers through his hair. I noticed his hand shook a little, I'm guessing from nerves.

"I'm a werewolf Bella, also called a Shifter, I am the Alpha and Leader of the PacificNorthWest, we are the largest pack in America and with every wolf they are blessed by the spirits and moon goddess. We are given a mate. In other parts of the nations they are called Imprints. Mates are people that will complete the Wolf. This person helps balance their inner wolf. Their our Mate and you are MINE. I knew you were my mate the minute I smelt you as I walked inside the club, then I saw you dancing on that fucking stage and when our eyes met it all cemented for me. Bella You are my Luna, mate, and imprint. We are meant for each other, literally born to be together, made specifically to be what the other is lacking and what the other would ever want."

I notice his hands start to shake even harder. I wasn't sure if it was from stress, anger or nerves. It takes him a few minutes to continue and I just sit quietly, unsure of what to say or do.

"Im sorry about the way we first met and how I acted that night. Its just, watching those other men looking at you, touching and thinking about what is mine...them getting turned on by your dancing My wolf was screaming at me to do something as soon as possible… I needed to get you out of there. Bring you back home, here with me before HE did something we'd regret later on. I had no idea about Lucas being your baby brother. I had assumed Lucas wad a boyfriend, And that only made me feel even more possessive over you and I am so sorry about that."

Honestly, this was all so much to take it. My eyes glaze over and I stare off into space, my brain doing its best trying to comprehend everything Sam's telling me. He said everything with such sincerity that I couldn't not help but to believe it all. Wow. werewolf's? Soul mates? Forever together? A prince charming that sweeps me off my feet and whisk's me away from my misery into a life of laugh and luxury. This doesn't happen in the real world. It has to be a sick joke to mess with my head. But somehow I knew deep down at the core of my marrow that this was all truth he spoke.

"Bella, I know this is a lot, but please give me a chance. Don't push me away, I know I messed there at the beginning, but in my mind I didn't have any other options. Please believe me." He finishes. Sam's head slowly raises to up into my eyes, his own swirling with tears and raw emotion. It broke my heart to see him like this. Even so I still had some things to say to him and I needed time to further process everything.

I still myself, taking a deep breath through my nose letting the air to expand my chest and with a slow exhale I open my eyes ready to talk.

"Thank you for apologizing. That dose mean something to me. But this is all happening so fast. Id like some time to think about all this." I say as I stand up, making my way to the bedroom door and this time, Sam doesn't stop me but follows me to it, I open the door pausing in the entryway to look up at him. He stare down at me with sad eyes. I could see a sliver of hope shining through but it was darkened by his sadness of losing me. So I gave him a small encouraging smile -hoping he wasn't to devastated- I tilt my head indicating I'd like him to give me some space for the time being to thinking and figure out what my next move was.

"Lucas should be home in a few house with Paul. They didn't go that far just a few towns over to the closest Mall, so the wont be gone long. I'm going to do somethings around the pack till they get back but if you need me, ask anyone and they will call for me ill be here in minutes."

I just nod and keep my face blank. He walks out and I slowly close the door behind him. Not bothering with locking the door. I slouch on the door, thumping my head hard against the cherry wood and sliding down to the floor lifelessly, hands falling limp at my sides.

Holy fucking shit! Im mated to a Werewolf...not just any Werewolf but the Alpha of the largest Pack in America. What am I sopossed to do with all this information!?
