Derek's POV

I stared down at the beautiful woman in my arms and I knew I was in love, but I also know I came too close to losing her today. What would I do if I never saw her beautiful blue eyes? Heard her laugh or saw the sunlight dance on her hair. She was my mate. I didn't want to turn into my father who went crazy after my mom died. Chloe keep the monster in me at bay. Except today when she brought it out because the wolf just could not take her fear. She was almost taken from me. They were going to ruin my reputation with The Pack. They were going to take my mate and do unspeakable things to her!

I took a deep breath and looked down at my life. I am so proud of her for being so strong today. I was like a small excited small child because she accepted me, and she felt safe enough to fall asleep in my arms. Deep inside she knew I would always protect her. That is why I had to let her go.

Tonight was the perfect example of how I was a monster and I could hurt her. I put her in too much danger tonight. My sweet mate belongs to be happy and normal in the human world not a part of the ugly truth that is mine.

I pulled Chloe closer into my body. I stood to my feet trying not to shake her too much. I walked back to the house I took a moment to listen where everyone was. Dad was in his office working. Tori was at a sleep over with Liz and Simon was up in his room. I walked up the stairs and into my bedroom. I set Chloe on my bed and slipped off her shoes. I set them by the bed in case she woke up looking for them. I pulled a blanked over her shoulder and left the love of my life alone to sleep.

I walked back down stairs, I needed to tell dad my plans.

I listened by the door to make sure he was still up, and I knocked on the door.

"Come in." He said.

Chloe's PROV

My dream started to slowly slip away. I dreamed of an amazing night with Derek where he told me that he cared for me and that he was a majestic mystical creature of the night and that he would always protect me. He said he loved me more than anything in his world. It was the best dream I had ever had, but I knew it could never be true- well I thought that at least.

I kicked the comforter off my body and swung my legs over the edge of my bed. I shifted until me too short legs hit the floor, only I didn't hit my soft rug as usual. My eyes snapped open. I stared down at my tiny feet with red nail polish but it wasn't my bedroom floor. My floor had a gold rug to match my room, this floor was dark hardwood floors. I was not in my room. I did not know where the hell I was! I looked frantically around trying to figure out where I was and how I got there. The walls were a dark grey there was a solid black desk with heavy books piled high. The bed was huge with dark navy sheets and a grey comforter. It was a very plain room not a lot of décor or any proof of life, all this was no help as of too there I was and whose bed I just spent the night in. I looked through the desk hoping to find some personal information, with no luck I walked over to the window. The beautiful forest of my dreams stared back at me, so last night did happen. I rushed down the stairs to find Derek.

When I walked down stairs I followed a noise to the kitchen. Gathered around the kitchen was Simon, Tori, and a strange man. The man was older, probably in his mid-forties, his once black hair was peppered.

"Hey Chloe!" Simon said.

"Good Morning Si! Where is Derek?" I asked rubbing sleep from my eyes.

"Um, about that Chloe we need to talk." The stranger said. Now looking at his face he looked exactly like Simon would in a few years. He had the same warm and friendly features that made you trust him. I took a seat beside Simon and Mr. Bea set a plate of eggs and bacon in front of me. I thanked him and began eating.

"So Derek came to me last night and he told me that you now know what we are." Mr. Bea said. I nodded my head. "You know you can't tell anyone right?" He asked slowly.

"Oh! Of course I would never tell. I know better than that. I would never do anything to hurt you or your family." I said proud that I was still able to keep calm.

"I appreciate that, but Chloe, there is something I must tell you." He said, but as he said it his voice got low and his eyes sad.

"What is it?" I asked skeptically.

"It's Derek." He said simply.

"What about Derek? Is he okay? Where is he?" I could feel myself becoming hysteric. What is the men from last night came back to get him? What is he was hurt or- or in pain? What was I going to do? I have to same him, he's my mate. I must protect my mate!

"Chloe, calm down, it will all be okay" Simon put his arms around me. I relaxed into him accepting his calm words.

"Chloe, I need you to be patient and listen to everything I have to say before you make any rash decisions." I nodded my head in answer.

"Derek came to me in my study last night. He told me about the other werewolves and how brave you were. He is so very proud of you for handling everything like you did."

My eyes started to water. Simon held me closer and Tori grabbed my hand.

"Derek told me that he has discovered that you are his mate. He was broken over the fact that he put you into danger last night, because he loves you so much. He has decided to leave, so that he may protect you from danger. He has gone to the Pack early this year, so that he may learn to protect you and control his wolf. He says that he is so sorry for losing control and his wolf coming through and scaring you. He loves you very much and he will contact you in a week or so. He has asked that you stay with us for protection and to live your life as normal until he returns."

"Will you stay? I will protect you as if you were my little sister." Simon said pulling me in tighter.

"I will make sure you look presentable in the morning, and then no one messes with you because you will look so hot." Tori stated with a smirk. I couldn't help but smile at these two. They were already accepting me into their family, but they hardly knew me.

"Okay, I'll stay." I said.

"Great, follow me and I'll get you some clean clothes." Mr. Bea said.

I followed him into a bedroom where he handed me clothes that were close to my size.

"There you're all set! Is there anything you need?" He asked.

"Yeah, one thing"

"What do you need?"
"What do you want me to call you?" I asked.

"Dad, Call me dad." He said.

"Okay…. Thanks, Dad."
