Chapter Fifteen: Hosted

Diana's POV

I waited for his reply.

"We have many," Luca grunted. I pulled away from everyone and led them to the kitchen, Luca followed closely behind.

"Please, sit." Daniel took a seat first, hiding his face in his hands. Jade took a seat next to him, rubbing his back.

"You're pregnant," Luca said from behind me. I gave him a confused look, he glanced at Jade and came closer to me, resting a hand on my bum. Jade looked at me and then gazed at Luca.

"H-how did you know?" I turned my head to him. He looked down at me knowing that I didn't want him to tell them yet.

"Luca, why don't you help me make some sandwiches and give some water?" I nudged my head toward the fridge. I grabbed his hand and pulled him to it before quietly whispering.

"Thank you. Once they feel better, I'll send them on their way." I kissed his cheek. His stiff shoulders relaxed a little.

"You don't want to go with them?" I gave him a weird look, shaking my head. Was he jealous?

"Awe, is my Alpha King jealous?" I said through giggles. He rolled his eyes which were darkening. Jay was coming out. I sighed closing the fridge and opened my arms.

"Come." he obliged without a second thought, holding my waist and putting his head in the crook of my neck where he marked me.

"I won't leave either of you, do you understand?" He licked my mark and grazed his canines on them, sending waves of pleasure through me. I moaned quietly and closed my eyes.

"N-not here." I whimpered. He pulled away and I saw it was still Jay. I looked behind him to see my group staring at me with wide eyes. I felt my face warm up as I blushed a deep red. I opened the fridge again, grabbing the turkey and ham out of it. I then started to walk to the pantry grabbing the rest of the stuff and laid it out nicely on the dining table. I put some utensils and plates on one side before clapping my hands.

"Dig in. Luca, can you grab some glasses and a pitcher please?" I heard Jay growl under his breath, turning his head to me. His eyes were still black and his canines still showing. I ran to him, turning him around before anyone could see. I put my hand on my hips, putting most of my weight on one leg.

"Jay, bring Luca back," I whispered

"No." I furrowed my eyebrows.

"Jay..." I said sternly, He closed his eyes bringing back Luca's emeralds beauties. Luca started walking closer to the rest of us. I heard loud clicking as they all backed up with fear.

"Diana, what's going on?" Daniel asked.

"I'll explain everything soon, please just eat. You must be very hungry." I said in a comforting voice. They all hesitated until Aiden grabbed two pieces of bread and started making a sandwich quietly. I felt Luca's chest touch my back as he came close to me.

"Luca, can you grab the water now?" He stayed with me for a couple of seconds.

"Of course." He said walking away from me, leaving a cold breeze to touch my back that was once warm. I took a seat on a couple of the empty chairs that were left. There was an awkward silence, the only sound of Luca filling the pitcher with water and everyone chewing food. I decided to break the silence.

"Who did this to you?"

Lena was the first one to reply.

"It wasn't someone, it was something." I gulped, praying it wasn't the rogues.

"It was these, these wolves they smelled horrible. We were trying to find you once we heard you scream." Damn it.

Blake came in with Monica holding his waist, interrupting the conversation. I cleared my throat putting my attention back to my group. Blake took a seat next to me and Monica took a seat on his lap.

Luca came back, putting the pitcher in front of me along with a few glasses. I stood up and let Luca sit down, I sat down on his lap, moving backward so his chest touches my back. He caressed my thigh, making circles with his thumb.

"Continue," Daniel replied this time.

"It's a long story." I glanced behind me to check on Luca. I then looked at Blake and Monica who nodded towards me.

"We've got time," Luca answered.

*****Flashback*****

Lena's POV

We all ran back to the campsite back to Diana.

"DIANA!" Hayden yelled worried. I looked around for my best friend hoping she would appear out of the woods telling us this was just a prank. This wasn't actually happening,

"Aiden, You and Lena head towards the car. Maybe that's where she ran off too, Alex stays with Jade, keep an eye on her. Daniel and I will go deeper into the woods, trying to find her, if we aren't back by sunset, everyone head to the car and drive around trying to find her." We all nodded and split up. I tried to stay calm as we started to walk to the car.

"I'm scared," Aiden said quietly coming closer to me. I breathed out shakily,

"Me too." The way she screamed, it was no way she was messing with us, she never screamed and this was a first. We made it to the car and the sight made me yelp. It was shattered and broken, bloodstains were all over it, a growl was heard from behind the car, my breath hitched as I moved closer to Aiden, our arms now touching. A foul smell filled my nose, making me cover my nose with my hand. I looked up to see Aiden doing to same.

A loud bang was echoed throughout the whole forest. My head jolted to see a wolf, a very sick looking wolf growling at us. Its eyes were yellow and blood dripping down its snout. We both screamed running back to the camp, the horrid wolf chasing us the whole way there. A wolf jumped in front of us causing us to scream again.

"Shit!" Aiden yelled, putting an arm in front of me trying to give me some sort of protection.

"That's push-ups," I said breathlessly. He gave me a fearful look.

"Not the time." A few more wolves surrounded us, I saw Hayden slowly walk out of the bushes behind the wolves with Daniel. He had a stick in his hands ready to swing at the wolves. They put fingers to their lips as a way to tell us to be quiet. I nodded and patted Aiden's shoulder just so he could see them too.

"RUN!" Daniel yelled as the wolves turned their attention to them. They ran the opposite way from us all the wolves following them. Aiden grabbed my hand pulling me with him as we ran back to the camp. Once we made it back we saw Jade and Alex sitting near the fireplace having a normal conversation. They saw us and stood up quickly.

"Did you find her?" Jade asked. I saw Aiden grabbing Hayden's backpack, looking through it. He took out all of his clothes and packed a few water bottles and some granola bars.

"Lena, grab a small blanket and a flashlight." He ignored Jade. I went to our tent and grabbed Diana's light blanket that Aiden bought for her from Cancun. I went through her backpack and found a small flashlight. Walking back out, Aiden was sitting on the ground waiting for me.

"What is going on? Where's Hayden and Daniel?" Jade asked, worry in her voice.

"We need to go." Was all Aiden said he threw the backpack at me and wrapped his arm around Jade's shoulder.

"You are my priority right now, Hayden would kick my ass if anything happened to any of you, especially Jade." He started walking into the woods and Jade followed quietly along with Alex and me.

*****

"You couldn't bother telling us before we left!?!" Aiden yelled at Jade. I stood in front of her, giving him a look of anger.

"Aiden, listen to yourself! I know you are stressed and scared, but so are we! She's pregnant and she tried her hardest to keep that stress away from you." He sighed harshly, pulling on his hair. I put the backpack down on the ground and took out a granola bar, handing it to Jade. It's been three days since we got split up.

"We need to find Hayden quick. Whatever these wolves are, they are smarter than we think." Aiden nodded.

"Jade, get on my back, I don't want you to tire yourself out anymore." She slowly climbed onto his back.

"We need to rest before the sun goes down, it's not safe to continue," Alex added, I totally agreed with him. We started walking, never looking back.

*****End of Flashback*****

Diana's POV

"We found Hayden and Daniel a week later. They were attacked by the same wolves and they tried eating him." Lena whispered. It was silent, the sound of a pin could have been heard if dropped.

"It seemed like they succeeded," I mumbled.

"What have you been doing, you seem to be having the time of your life. Forget about us?" My eyes widened as Daniel questioned me angrily.

"No, no Luca saved me... all I have been thinking about was you guys." Daniel scoffed.

"Who are you guys anyway?" Jade asked politely. Luca answered first,

"None of your business." I clicked my tongue, rubbing Luca's hand.

"Luca," I said disappointed.

"This is my...boyfriend Luca Mason-"

"Call me Alpha." He cut me off. I scooted closer to him and played with his hair to calm him down.

"That is Blake and Monica." I pointed to them before grasping Luca's hand.

"How old are you Luca?" Aiden asked.

"23." Jade covered her mouth in shock while the rest of them stared at me.

"Diana, that is sick," Daniel said. Luca growled. Why did Daniel have a stick up his ass all of a sudden?

"Daniel's right! You can't just boyfriend up some random stranger you find in the woods!" Alex shrieked.

"What is wrong with you all? I was generous enough- WE were generous enough to take you in and help you, continue this attitude and you guys will be gone tomorrow morning." I said angrily.

They gave me a sad look. The door flung open again showing a pack doctor with blood covering his body. He bowed towards Luca and me.

"Alpha, Luna, we finished. He will live but he has to wait at least a week until he can move around. He needs plenty of rest." I answered immediately.

"Take him to the nearest guest room, he will rest until he gets better." He bowed once again leaving me to explain everything to the group.

"They are werewolves, I am the mate of Luca, who is the Alpha King and Alpha of the Woods Pack. Those two are my Betas, second in command if something happens to us they will take charge. I am the Luna of this pack." They stared at me blankly before bursting out laughing.

Luca's grip tightened on me as he tried hard not to rip someone's head off.

"You guys can laugh all you want, but it's real." Lena gave me a look and continued to laugh.

"Diana honey, this is all just a fantasy, you need to snap out of it and come with us." I shook my head standing up.

"I might be living in a fantasy but I found love here, something I thought you all would have understood. I guess not." I walked out of the kitchen without another word, heading up to my room.

Luca's POV

I watched her walk out of the kitchen. My eyes turned black and my canines came out once again, I clawed at the table, leaving scratch marks. I let out an angered roar causing them all to shiver with fear. Good.

"How dare you come into my territory and disrespect my mate. She has done nothing but help you!" The pregnant woman pointed at me.

"Your eyes and teeth what's wrong with them?" I smirked at her and replied while licking my lips.

"Werewolves ARE real."
