Rewritten

I'm only going to change a few details.

.

"You live here?" Gabriella was honestly shocked. When he told her that he didn't live with his parents, because he doesn't have any, she assumed that he lived in a little apartment. But apparently he lives with three other werewolves and one vampire…all males.

The house was in the mountains, and it looked kind of like Bastogne. The house was made of wood, two stories

"I want you to stay close to me…You don't have to say anything, just don't do anything stupid." He was actually a little worried. He trusted his friends with his life, but since he ripped her clothes, he gave her his school hoodie, which went down just below her thighs. But he ripped her bra during their…loving in his car. So she was only wearing panties under his hoodie.

Only one of his friends had a mate, so if Gabriella wasn't marked as his, they wouldn't think twice before taking her. He knew they wouldn't do anything intentionally, but sometimes the wolf comes out and they can't control it. So he had to make sure she stayed very, very close to him.

She looked up at him as he stared down at her. He had his hand around her waist and kept her close, but the last thing he said bothered her. "What makes you think I'll do something stupid?"

He leaned down close with a tiny, barely noticeable, grin. "I know you Gabriella. I realize that you're having a bit of a problem coming to terms with this, but I know you better then I know myself."

She bit her lip, and he cocked an eyebrow, prompting her to say, "That was really cheesy." He inwardly rolled his eyes before leaning down half a centimeter to give her a soft kiss. "That wasn't so cheesy." He silently chuckled at her dazed expression before opening the door.

.

Troy's sent and an unfamiliar one filled the noses of three werewolves. They were sitting in their chairs, waiting to see who the unfamiliar one was.

And to be honest, they were really shocked at the beauty of the human girl standing in the doorway. Her hair was long, and her lips were so full and red. But another thing caught their eyes, and noses. Troy's sent was all over her, and his mark was clear for all to see on her neck.

His message was clear. She's mine!

It was silent for a moment, and they knew that Troy was making sure that none of them would make any moves that they would regret. And they didn't blame him. His mate was possibly one of the most beautiful creatures to ever walk the earth.

Troy relaxed after a moment, but kept his senses on alert. "Gabriella, I would like to introduce you to my family." They all took this as their cue to introduce themselves.

The tall dark werewolf with a buzz cut and blank eyes stood up, his muscular frame and handsome features showing. "I am Elijah."

The equally tall vampire with blond clean cut hair and grey eyes took a small step forward, his perfect posture was obvious and when he bowed, Gabriella raised an eyebrow. "I am Austin." His accent told her that he was British.

The werewolf that…Okay, it seemed that they were all really tall and about the same height. So this werewolf stood up, his light brown faux hawk and eyes that seemed to be red made him look mysterious. "I am Nathan."

The last dude, a werewolf, was in the corner, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. His hair was a little like Troy's, only darker, and a little longer. He had sunglasses on and was smoking a cigarette. "I'm Aiden"

It's pretty safe to say that these guys were smoking hot. But Gabriella was confused that she wasn't attracted to them. She knew they were hot, and yet, looking at them didn't make her feel anything. When she looks at Troy, she can feel a surge of electricity go through her, and he's really, really hot. Perhaps the fact that she's his mate had something to do with it. She'd have to ask him about that later.

Troy looked down at her to see what she would do. She extended her hand and started to walk forward. But before her foot even touched the ground, she was pulled back. She looked up at Troy for a split second before looking back at the…boys.

"I'm Gabriella."

They all grinned at her name, except Aiden. "Such a name suits you."

Gabriella cocked her head to the side at Austin's words. "Your name is beautiful. Like you." She turned to glare at Troy.

"I know what he meant, the way he said it was…old." She explained in a hush tone, not even thinking that everyone one in the room has enhanced hearing.

Austin took a step forward. "I was born in 1664, Britain. It takes a while to get accustomed to the new language every generation, but I'm pulling through."

Gabriella's mouth was wide open. Troy knew she had a zillion questions going through her head. None of them on the supernatural though. She turned her head up to Troy with a questioning gaze. He took a breath, before nodding his head. "1921." She opened her mouth, but he already knew her question. "I did fight in the war." He pulled his dog tags out from his pocket, they were around a necklace. She took it from his hand and examined them. He was in World War II, and Vietnam. She found herself liking him more.

She gave it back and he put it on, and she stared at them hanging on his neck for a second before turning her head towards Nathan with a curious look. "1953. I was in Vietnam with Troy." He answered showing her his own dog tag.

"1841. I was on the union side in the civil war." Gabriella could hear a tiny bit of southern accent in Elijah's voice, which was very deep.

She looked at Aiden, who stayed silent. When Troy pulled Gabriella a bit closer to him, Aiden stepped out of the shadow and walked forward. "1922. Troy and I were in the same company." His voice sounded so confident, and husky. Gabriella felt a little uneasy under Aiden's stare. It was like he was examining her. And she didn't like it when people stared at her.

Troy noticed her unease. He leaned his head down and said quietly. "Go upstairs, the last room on the left. Wait for me." She could only nod her head, and he gave her a quick kiss before she walked up the stairs. There were six rooms, and she wanted to see what was in them all, but, curiosity killed the cat, so she just went to Troy's room.

"Wow."

The bed was huge. The dresser was huge. The windows and drapes were huge. Everything was huge, red, and dark blue. She ran to the bathroom and smiled at the big bathtub. She opened the drapes and giggled lightly at the amazing view of the mountains. She ran over to the bed and jump/fell on it, landing with her hair sprawled out and her arms above her head.

A low chuckle made her sit up abruptly. She sighed in relief when she saw that it was Troy. "You like it?"

"It's beautiful."

He smiled as he walked over to the bed. "Good. Cause it's yours…well, ours."

Gabriella's eyes went wide for a moment before becoming curious. "What do you mean?"

He sighed and lay down on the bed with her. "Well. If it were up to me, you wouldn't ever leave this room…However. I know you won't listen to me. But this is your home now."

Gabriella was silent for a moment, before curling up next to Troy and draping her arm across his chest. "I'm not going to stay in the room for the rest of my life…But I do know that I never want to part from you. I think I'm in love with you Troy, but I don't have the advantage of seeing inside you and your memories, so it's gonna take me a little bit to fully trust you and get used to this."

"I know…This is a situation that I hoped would never happen. But I'm glad that you're taking it so well. To be honest, I thought you would have shut me out for a while and refused to speak to me, calling me a liar and a jerk." Troy said with a grin.

Gabriella giggled lightly. "I'm different than most girls."

He kissed her forehead. "I know. And I love it"

She felt herself falling asleep, but she remembered something she wanted to ask. "Troy?" He grunted. "Why wasn't I attracted to them?"

He grinned. "Because you have me." She hit him lightly on the chest. "Okay, okay. Because we're mates you're only attracted to me, emotionally and psychically. I'm the same way. Since I met you, I haven't even been able to look at another female."

Gabriella thought about it for a second before shrugging, content with his answer. "I don't think Aiden likes me."

Troy shook his head. "It's not that he doesn't like you. It's just that…he doesn't like humans."

Gabriella lifted her head. She could tell he was lying. "You're not telling me something."

He looked down at her and smiled. He should have realized that he can't lie to his mate. "It's nothing important." He said to himself a little bit more then to her.

She smiled at him, not wanting to push him further. "Okay." She moved up a little and gave him a tender kiss before moving back and feeling sleep start to overcome her.

Troy shut his eyes tightly and pulled her closer, not wanting to ever let her go. He tried to sleep. But the conversation that happened after he sent Gabriella up was still fresh in his mind.

"That's her." Aiden exclaimed after Gabriella was out of ear shot.

Nathan sighed, sitting back down. "I can't believe it."

"She's a human." Elijah stated.

Aiden sighed in frustration. "That doesn't matter. The fact is, she's Troy's mate."

Troy rolled his eyes, a little disappointed with his pack. "I'm not going to listen to some silly old prophecy."

Aiden looked at him in disbelief. "Wha-…Troy, She could be the key in ending this."

"I'm not going to bring her into this. She could get hurt."

Aiden tightened his fist. "She doesn't have a choice."

Nathan calmed him down before he could do something he'd regret. "We'll still have to find Cass if it's over."

Aiden relaxed a little. "She's your mate Troy, you know what that means."

"Enough…You will mention nothing to her."

Elijah could sense Troy's unease and frustration, and he knew that what he was about to say would not help. "Troy. As soon as they find out, they'll try to take her, you know that."

Troy let out a deep growl. "I won't let that happen." That was when they knew the conversation was over. Troy was the strongest out of all of them, and that growl was a warning.

Aiden sighed. "Sorry…You know, since Cass, I've been a little…on edge."

He didn't want to think about anything. But there was the possibility, and he couldn't ignore that things could get complicate fast.

Right now though, he just wanted to be happy about finally finding his mate.

.

Gabriella groaned at the sound of someone knocking on the door. She felt a loss of warmth, and whimpered. A low chuckle made her pout, and then she felt Troy's familiar lips on hers, giving her a quick peck.

She heard the door open and too male voices talking in hush tones. She could only make out "news", "missing" and "clan". But she was too tired to be curious at the moment.

Troy came back over to the bed and took Gabriella back in his arms. He kissed her forehead as she sighed in content. "I have to go."

She opened one eye and raised an eyebrow. "What time is it?"

Troy lifted his right hand to look at his watch. "7:55."

"Oh my god, school starts in five minutes." She attempted to jump out of the bed. But Troy held on to her tightly.

"You can't leave." When she raised an eyebrow, he continued. "We'll both go to school tomorrow. But I can't today…and I don't want you to step outside this house without me." His voice had this tone. He sounded really concerned, and serious.

Gabriella smiled softly at him. "Okay. But we're going tomorrow." Troy nodded with a little smirk as she laid back down. "So where are you going?"

"Just werewolf stuff, nothing really important…I hope." He got up and went to the dresser to grab some clothes.

Gabriella was going to ask him more. But at the sight of him taking his clothes out of the dresser, she remembered something. "Um, Troy…I don't have any clothes here."

Troy paused for a second. "We'll get your things later. Until then, you can wear my clothes." He walked back over to her with one of his button down shirts. "Go back to sleep."

She smiled up at him and pulled him down for a gentle kiss. She pulled back, but he leaned forward, giving her another, longer, kiss. She giggled lightly before pushing him back. "Don't you need to go?"

Troy nodded and went to the door. He turned back to see her sprawled out on the bed, looking incredibly sexy. He stood there for a moment, just looking at her. But when he heard his name being called, he left.

.

An hour later, Gabriella awoke, feeling almost too comfortable to get up. But the sound of a bird pecking on the window prompted her to get up to go shoo it away.

She stared at the bird for a moment before shooing it with her hands. But that didn't work, so she just left Troy's room.

"Stupid bird." She muttered to herself as she walked down the stairs.

"They say the reason birds' wake us up is to keep us from being taken into our dreams."

Gabriella spun around at the low voice to see Elijah. She put a hand over her heart to calm it down. "You scared me."

He bowed his head a little. "I apologize."

She raised an eyebrow at his manners. "It's okay…I was just looking for the kitchen."

Elijah smiled softly; walking to what Gabriella presumed was the kitchen. "I'm afraid we don't care much for processed foods. But you're welcome to look around." He bowed his head again and left.

Gabriella watched him leave for a second before running to the first cupboard. She opened it, only to find alcohol. She opened the one below it, only to find alcohol. She ran to the cupboards across from her, and opened them…only to find more alcohol.

She huffed and opened the refrigerator, expecting to find alcohol. And she did. But there was also water. With a shrug, she chugged half of the bottle, a little surprised at her thirst. After deciding that she was satisfied with her stomach at the moment, she decided to check those liquor cabinets again.

Most of it was beer and vodka. And the rest was tequila, whisky, and wine. A chuckle escaped her lips. "Boys." She muttered under her breath.

She turned around, and bit back a scream at the sudden figure in front of her. She breathed in relief when she saw that it was Elijah. "I apologize, again."

"It's okay." Gabriella put a hand over her heart to calm it.

She opened her mouth to ask him something, but Elijah cut her off. "I suggest that you stay to Troy's room, until he returns." When she didn't move, he explained a little more. "Someone is here."

She blinked a few times, wondering if she should be concerned since his voice was so calm. But she felt that she could trust Elijah, so she went back up to Troy's room.

She heard a faint crack before closing the door.

.

"They came."

Troy looked at the dead crow on the table and the dead vampire at Elijah's feet, and resisted the urge to break the wall. "Is she safe?"

Elijah could hear the fear and anger in his voice. "I requested that she not leave your room."

Troy nodded and turned to Aiden. "Fix Nathan up and meet me in on the balcony."

Aiden nodded his head. A feeling of relief and happiness overcame him. "Are you going to tell her?"

Troy was silent for a moment before jogging up the stairs. "I have to."

I wasn't that great a writer when I started this story. But I've improved a little bit, so I wanted to fix the story up.
