I've been living with the panther's for a whole month. They have accepted me and I help protect her cubs when she hunts, and sometimes I hunt while she watches them. There are 2 cubs that I've learned is named Nova and Shadow.

Shadow is a boy and Nova is the girl. I named the mother Cara since she lost her name when she went solo since it was only her; there was no need for names.

Right now it was my turn to hunt. I stayed in my semi Panther form, because of the sight, hearing and camouflage, and it hides my scent, because every night, Luke would wander the forest and look for me.

Cara understands me hiding from my mate. She suspects that I've done something and he'll harm me, but in my case, I have no idea, but my instincts say that he can't be trusted.

I notice a buck in the opening, with a female and a baby... Dammit... I don't have the heart to break up a family. The male buck senses danger and nudges the female into safety, but before she can move a black dragon pounces on the male and scratches the female's side pretty deep, but she continues to run away with her baby.

I watch in horror as my mate mutilates the dear and look back at the bushes where I notice Harry's blue dragon form exit looking scared. What happened to Luke?

I ignore the soulless creature I use to call my mate, and run after the mother and baby. I find the mother on the flood in her blood and the baby cuddled o her side. I shift back into my human form and bust out in tears, causing the baby to startle and move closer to its dead mother. Why would Luke do that?!

I move closer to the baby and start to stroke it, causing it to look up at me with sadness in its eyes. I know its pain... I went through the same thing at a very young age...

The baby stands on its wobbly legs and cuddles into my crying side. I hear scrunching leaves, but I ignore it and close the mother dear's eyes with my shaking hands.

I'm calling the baby Bambi. I see a shadow loom over me and quickly turn around, turning semi dragon and hissing at the owner of the shadow, but clear as day, there stood Luke with a shocked and hopeful face as I glare at him.

He notices my glare and frowns before noticing the mother dear and me protecting the baby, causing everything to come crashing down in his eyes and making him collapse on the floor crying.

"Raise him..." I say, causing Luke to look up at me with broken eyes, "W-What...?" he asks through a mouth full of drool and puffy red eyes.

I sigh, "Raise the baby dear as an apology for murdering its parents," I tell him with a racing heart. "I need you Mia!" he cries out falling onto the floor in pain.

I frown and bite my bottom lip, turning back into my human form. I wrap my arms around his shaking form and shush him like a mother would, "I can't come back to you when you're this- this- Monster... Prove to me that you're not a monster and raise the dear and maybe... I'll come back," I tell him defeated, causing him to look up at me hopefully.

"I-I love you..." he says and pushes his forehead against my own, I try giving him a chased kiss, but he pulls me closer and heats up the kiss drastically. Our dragon's take over and I notice the baby moving back to its dead mother as Luke's dragon starts the mating process with my own dragon.

About an hour later, the mating process is complete and our dragons give us our bodies back, causing me to cough badly and semi shift into my dragon so I could heal properly. I just lost my virginity... in a forest... Where my dragon took over and I can't remember anything but the pain...

I hear Luke groan and hiss as I look at him who's in a fetus position. If you meet your mate you're dragons will take over and mate if you don't in e few months; another reason why I stayed away... I was afraid of this happening.

I crawl over to Luke and kiss his cheek before turning into my dragon, grabbing the mother dear's carcass, making the baby run over to Luke and me to fly off towards the nearest river where I clean my naked body after turning back to my human form.

I shift into my semi panther self and carry the carcass back to the mother panther's den. She notices my struggle and takes the carcass from me so I could climb the tree.

I enter it and she notices my cent has changed, so she moves closer to me in comfort as she rips the dear apart and feeds her young, and herself.

I on the other hand am not hungry. I just try and fall asleep...

____________________________________

I wake up to a vibration on the tree stump and notice that I never closed the bloody hole. I look over at a concerned Lexi who's in her semi dragon form.

I painfully get up and move in front of the hole to protect the mother and cubs, Lexi notices and her eyes widen, "No, don't move. I kind of smelt you're scent mixed with Luke's when he came back holding a baby dear," she says confused at the last part.

"Don't worry; it happened to me too about a week ago. My dragon took over and now Calum is in the hospital because my dragon scratched him pretty badly," she says clearly upset.

I came to clean wounds that might have happened, and tell you that Nyx is pregnant, but other than that!" she says, causing my eyes to widen, "Again?" I asked shocked. Nyx got pregnant by her eX, but had a miscarriage, there's no telling if this one might come out dead or alive.

"Yeah... and Ashton's the daddy, so..." Lexi says clearly not amused. "I just hope I'm not pregnant, because I don't think my dragon reminded Calum to wear a fucking Condom," she says as she starts to wipe my scars.

"Please don't tell Luke where I am," I beg her, causing her to frown. "Mia... Without you he became heartless... he's never at school and he's losing his good grades... He needs you... at least for a month or so, then you can come back to your... uh... Family," she says, making me sigh in defeat.

The cubs are ready to learn hunting by their mother so maybe a month or so, they'll be good hunters. So I nod and get out, but before I do, I rip the bark above the tree so it covers the whole with only a bit of space for the mother and cubs to exit.

I kiss Cara on her forehead as well as the cubs, making them curious, making strange gurgling roars growls. I smile and nod at the mother, making her nod back.

I jump off the tree, only to fall on my side because of my weak legs. Lexi I quick by my side, but black spots are covering the corners of my eyes as I shift to my human form.

"Mia, you've been through a lot of pain, it's taking over your senses and causing your body to shut down. I'm going to carry you home okay?" she tells me, making me nod and her to lift me off the floor, before everything goes black.

Lexi's POV

I carry Mia out of the forest and towards her house as quick as possible, using my dragon sight to see, since it's midnight.

I open the door quickly with much effort and kick it open the rest of the way only to have the baby dear cower in the corner while Luke is lying on the floor. I'm not sure if he's dead or sleeping, but it's quickly resolved when his eyes shoot open and he turns to me quickly, but I'm already halfway up the stairs.

Yes Luke has made his place in the Hood residence and took over Mia's room because he's crazy and obsessed.

We told the school that Mia was visiting relatives in America, but we all know that they died, but the school doesn't know that.

When I place her on her bed, Luke pushes me out of the way, "Where did you find her?!" he asks shocked, relieved ad worried at the same time, as well as excited.

"In the forest... Where else...?" I ask sarcastically and get the emergency kit and quickly clean her wounds while Luke caresses her hand and cheek carefully. He places her hand underneath his mouth and places a pained kiss upon it.

When I finished up her wounds, I pressed a spot on her collarbone and pushed it counter-clockwise causing scales to appear and her to semi shift so she could heal quicker. Calum taught me a bunch of tricks while he was at the hospital... for reasons... MOVING ON!

"I'll just... Leave. Enjoy you're uh... weird freaky molesting... of her... hand... BYE!" I say quickly and exit the room. I feel so sorry for her...
