Diana's POV

"That was the dumbest thing I have done in my life, even for you."

"Quiet down Matt! You're gonna wake her up."

I peeled my eyes slowly, making contact with two baby blue irises staring at me blankly. I screamed, causing Xavier to back up and Matt to run out of the room. Wait a minute, Xavier?

"What the hell am I doing here?" I asked in all seriousness, backing away from my kidnappers.

"Diana, please let me explain."

I shook my head before letting out a loud scoff.

"Explain what? That you kidnapped me?"

He raised his hands, waving them as a way to calm me down.

"Diana, the very first time I met you, I instantly fell for you. The way you laugh or even the way your beauty shines in the sun. You are meant for me and I want to be with you."

My eyebrows raised in shock, mouth gaped.

"No, it can't happen. I'm mated with Luca."

I shook my head, thinking about Luca.

"There is no such thing as mates Diana, he's lying to you."

I shook my head again in denial, crossing my arms and legs.

"You're wrong."

He laughed, holding my hands in his while I gulped.

Xavier moved closer to me, bringing his lips closer to mine. I sucked in a breath trying to move back.

"I'm sorry Xavier, but I like Luca."

His lips touched the tip of my nose, lingering the kiss longer than expected.

"Soon you will love me, that's a promise."

The hairs on the back of my neck rose to cause me to shiver. He stood up from the bed, making his way to the door.

"Don't make promises you can't keep."

I slapped my mouth shut, watching him stop walking. He turned his head to me, showing me his face.

"I never do."

With that, the door slammed shut making me shake. I pulled my knees up to my chest, hiding my face. Was this all a lie?

Was there no such thing as mates? My thoughts consumed me before I heard the door open again.

"Hey, sweetheart."

It was Matt.

"What the hell do you want?"

I saw something in his hands. It was a plate with pizza on it. My stomach rumbled loudly, making my face flush. I gave Matt a sheepish smile, rolling my eyes.

"Sorry," I mumbled.

"Don't worry about it." The bed sunk next to me, indicating that he took a seat next to me. He handed me the plate before laying down, getting comfortable.

I looked down at the pizza cautiously before bringing it to my lips and taking a bite. In the corner of my eye, I saw Matt watching my every move. There was an awkward silence between us.

"Why did you leave?" Matt asked, hurt in his voice.

I swallowed my pizza hard, putting the leftover on the plate.

"I was scared," I replied bluntly.

He scoffed and sat up, getting closer to me.

"It seems like you're not scared anymore. It kind of sucks you chose Alpha Luca over Alpha Xavier, he's cruel and ruthless."

I gave him a quick glance before looking down at my pizza.

"First of all, Luca is my mate, and he is not cruel. He is very sweet and took well care of me."

I saw Matt let out a cold-hearted laugh, making me shift in my spot.

"H-He's your mate? I'm so s-sorry for you!"

So mates are real. Xavier is just a god damn liar. I glared at Matt, who was still trying to catch his breath.

Anger bubbled inside of me for some reason as he made fun of Luca, making me want to hurt him and make him feel some sort of pain.

"You don't know the things he's done. He is a dangerous wolf, Diana, and soon he will turn his back against you. Alpha Luca will play with you until he is done with you, he will KILL you, Diana."

I shivered at his warning. There is no way Luca would do that to me. I know him enough to know that he would prevent anything bad from happening to me.

"You're wrong. Xavier is wrong. Luca will never do that to me, in fact, he is on his way right now. I have a feeling you have angered him and now you will pay the price."

Matt stayed quiet for a couple of minutes before replying again.

"Just you wait, once you understand that Alpha Luca is a murderer you will run back to Xavier. If I were you I would make the right decision right now."

My Luca is not a murderer, right? He did kill those rogues, but they were bad.

Right? What if he really is just a killer who is tricking me, playing with my heart until he gets tired of me.

Xavier did take care of me since the very first time I met him in the woods.

I squeezed my eyes shut, rubbing my temples with stress. Matt got off of the bed and made his way to the door also.

"You are a great person Diana and you deserve the best. We need you, Luna."

He closed the door behind him, leaving me alone in my thoughts.

I stood up from the bed quickly, running to the bathroom inside of the room, slamming the door. I checked myself out in the mirror.

The only thing I wore was Luca's black shirt and his boxer briefs. My hands grasped the hem of the shirt, bringing it to my nose, taking a whiff of his scent.

My knees felt weak and my heart started to sting. Something wet fell onto the shirt, making it damp.

I wiped my burning cheeks and sat down on the tiled floor. Why am I missing him so much? It's literally only been less than a week and I'm already in love with him.

Hold on Diana. You LOVE him. I let out a choked laugh, shaking my head. I'm going crazy, there is no way you can fall in love with someone that fast, especially if that person is me.

My thoughts started to wander to Xavier. I liked him. His heart was pure and he was very kind.

Definitely, someone, I would take home to visit my parents, or even bring to my youth group. I know Hayden would take a liking to him, but he would have so much more in common with Luca.

If mates really do exist, Luca was made for me. I sighed dreamily just thinking about him, letting some more tears flow down my smooth skin.

A knock was heard on the bathroom door, making me stand quickly and wipe my face from snot and tears.

"Diana, are you okay?"

It was Xavier. I sniffled quietly, before breathing in deeply.

"Come in."

Xavier peeked his head in, he sensed my pain. He wrapped his arms around me, without thinking, I wrapped my arms around his torso. I buried my head in his chest, staying quiet.

"Hey, you're okay."

His large hand ran up and down my back, calming me down. It worked. I finally pulled away and made my way to the bed.

My back felt the cold mattress before I stared blankly at the wall. I needed to be alone, I need to just think.

"Diana?"

I ignored his presence, bringing my legs up to my chest, curling up in a ball. I heard him breathe out loudly before lying in the bed with me.

He went to wrap his arms around me but I grabbed the pillow my head was on, putting it in between us. Xavier sighed, giving up.

"I'm sorry. I know what I did was wrong, kidnapping you. But you wouldn't have come if I had asked you."

He was right, I would have stayed with Luca.

"Please, just say something. Anything."

I turned my body so I could face him.

"What do you want me to say? That I like you? That I should just forget Luca and be with you?"

My answer shut him up, but I wasn't finished.

"I had a good life. Every Sunday I would go to church, and I loved it as I met my youth group, they are very special to me, I would die for each and every one of them. Then this one day we decided, why not go and travel out of the state, so we can camp and spend more time together."

"I finally started to feel like I fit in, though I doubted myself here and there. All of a sudden, I was thrown into this life by God, and I have no freaking idea why."

"I met WEREWOLVES! I met a sweet guy, that guy was you. As soon as I met you, I knew we would get along. I wasn't scared of anything, not from demons, ghosts, death. But once I met you guys, I felt fear I have never felt before, I feel so vulnerable."

"Diana-" Xavier started,

"No, let me finish. Once I saw you turn from a wolf into well, you, I thought I was going crazy. But then, I smelt something amazing. I saw Luca, and my fear just grew, until he came up to me."

"All my fear washed away, and I felt protected and safe with him. Once I got to know him, I started to like him more by the second, I felt loved."

"I don't know why God chose me, but I have this thing in my gut telling me that Luca is mine, that he is my love. My heart tells me the same thing. But when I see you, my mind tells me something different."

"It's like you are the one who is playing games with me. Now I'm kidnapped by you, and you messed up big time. This has ruined all of your chances of ever getting to know me, we may not have been able to be together, but I still wanted to be friends with you."

"Diana, I'm so sorry."

I saw his eyes fill with guilt. I felt little sympathy.

"No, you aren't sorry. I know Luca is coming for me, and I will wait until he does."

I turned so my back was facing him.

"How could you like him? I was there for you first, and I've had my eye on you for a while." I answered back swiftly.

"How can you like me?"

I closed my eyes, snuggling into Luca's shirt I was wearing. It calmed me down making me fall into a dreamless sleep trying to imagine myself in his arms.

*****

Something pulled me closer to them, squeezing my waist. I slowly opened my eyes, letting out a small yawn. A warm breath was felt on my head, making me freeze before taking a look.

It was Xavier, he looked so peaceful, so innocent. I tried to get out of his grasp but he only tightened his grip. I huffed out in annoyance.

"Xavier," I said with irritation in my voice.

He moved a little, pulling me closer and snuggled into my hair. There was a knock on the door and soon Matt entered.

He saw us in the bed together and had a small smile. He leaned against the door frame, licking his lips.

"Mornin' sweetheart." He said, chuckling.

"Get. Him. Off. Me." I said through gritted teeth, a deadly look on my face.

He laughed, shaking his head.

"Nah, he looks peaceful."

"Matt I swear to God,"

"Woah, chill."

Cold air rushed onto my back, as Xavier let go and sat up on the bed. He rubbed his eyes and stretched his arms, showing his muscles more defined than ever.

"What the f*ck is going on?" Xavier asked both of us.

"Good job, you pissed him off," Matt said, slowly backing up.

I rolled my eyes, sitting up also.

I got off of the bed and made my way to the bathroom, feeling two pairs of eyes, watching my every move. I closed the door behind me and did my business.

I saw some Listerine on the counter. Well, I guess this is my last resort.

No toothbrush, I used the burning liquid, trying to make my mouth as clean as possible then washing my face and seeing my reflection in the mirror.

I don't know what to do anymore, I'm confused and just lost. I'm completely stuck. Luca, please find me.
