Mia's POV

I start walking out of the house and Frankie grabs my arm before I can go any further.

"Woah, Woah where are you going?" He whispers harshly.

"I am going to check up on the Wolf."

He scoffs then pulls me back and slightly pokes my shoulder.

"I don't think that is a good idea..." Frankie says with a small huff.

My eyes linger toward the front door and I see a tiny bit of the moonlight peeking through the bottom. I start to walk to it again and ignore Frankie's pleading.

There was something about that wolf that made me feel like I had to check upon him. I admit when I say that I am terrified of the poor thing, but he didn't hurt me. He made me feel this
connection where I felt...I don't know...safe?

Funny right? I felt afraid yet so safe with this wolf.

"Fine. Fine. I'll take you!" Frankie gives in.

I smirk at my accomplishment and continue to walk toward the door. Before I was able to open it, I saw Aunt Diana walk down the grand stairs and stop me from going any further.

"Mia? Frankie? What are you doing up? You both should be sleeping!"

My eyes rolled to the back of my head in annoyance and I tried to come up with an excuse why I was still awake at this time.

"Oh, I was uh-"

"She had a bad dream and I came to check up on her. I decided that a nice walk around the pack might tire her out." Frankie cuts me off.

He gives me a small wink and smiles like a dork at Aunt Diana who just raises an eyebrow.

"Alright...don't you think it's quite late to be going around the pack?"

"Don't worry Luna Queen, I will make sure to keep her safe."

"Can I please Aunt Diana? I am never going to be here again..."

She gives me a look of guilt and gulps on her spit. She lets out a deep sigh and nods toward the door before pointing at Frankie.

"Fine. But you better bring her back in 20 minutes you hear me? If Luca finds out about this, all three of us are dead. I will be waiting here on the couch until you come back. Understood?"

I nod quickly and grab a hold of Frankie's hand pulling him out of the house with me. He trips over his feet but quickly catches himself as we continue our journey to the cells. I stop a few feet away from the house so Aunt Diana can't see us anymore.

"Okay, you lead the way!" I say.

Frankie scoffs and takes the lead while I follow like a lost puppy to see the poor wolf. It takes a few minutes but we make it there in no time. I take another step forward and gasp at the horrid sight in front of me. It literally looked like a haunted house and I was not living for it.

"You okay?" Frankie asked.

I give him a fake smile and nod away. I pull on Frankie's bicep and wait until he decides to go inside. We soon make it to the front entrance and I am having a minor freak out.

"Are you sure you want to do this? I am warning you, there are some things in there that can be quite scarring..." He warns.

"Yes. I want to do this,"

He opens the large metal doors which creak at the sudden interaction. I cringe at the horrible noise and continue to hold onto Frankie as we walk into the cells. There was a dark stairway that led downstairs right into the cells itself.

"Where does this lead too? Hell?"

Frankie snorts and walks in first and I follow him closely so I don't get left behind. The sight I saw was horrid, everything about it made my stomach churn more than it should have. Frankie looks at the place with amazement and his mouth is gaped open with awe.

"Woah," He whispers.

I stop walking for a moment and grip onto the sleeves of Brady's yellow sweatshirt that I was still wearing. For some reason, it brought a sense of comfort to me as we walked into the creepy and I don't know...hellish...place?

"Why are you so amazed? Haven't you ever been to this place?" I question.

I can see him shaking his head from the moonlight which highlighted his jawline and cheekbones. I got really scared knowing we both have never been in this place, I assumed he would have but I guess not.

"I've only heard things about this place, and like rumors," He pulls me toward an empty cell where the bars are broken, "I heard that Alpha King actually sliced some werewolf's tongue in this cell."

I shudder at the thought of Uncle Luca doing something like that. My eyes wander around the entire place until they land to the wolf that I was hoping to meet this entire time.

"Frankie, look!"

My feet lead me to his cell and without hesitation, I kneel down to get a better look at his injured body. He had a rough line around his neck which seemed to look like it was bruising more than it should have.

"Mia!"

Frankie kneels down next to me and clicks his tongue in disappointment, I roll my eyes and put all my attention to the sleeping wolf. His breaths were so heavy when he inhaled, his eyes were moving under his eyelids.

I make kissing noises to try and waking the wolf up but nothing seems to happen. I look around the cells to see if I could find something to poke him with, Frankie noticed.

"Oh no, no. I agreed to bring you here, but I didn't agree to have you mess around with this wolf. It's a rogue, it's dangerous!"

He was right...but I couldn't leave until the wolf knew I was here too.

I continue to make kissing noises and start talking to him so he can hear me.

"Hey baby, Hi...Can you wake up for me please?"

The wolf moved his head a tiny bit and shrugged off my noises but I still continue.

"Hello? Psst. Wake up!" I say a little louder.

His eyes opened and I smile at my success, so did Frankie when he noticed me talking in such a sweet manner. Frankie slowly grabs a hold of my hand and pulls me closer to himself just in case the wolf tried anything.

The wolf stood up quickly and sprinted to the cell bars where we sat, he was immediately tugged back by the chain around his back leg. I frown and begin to put my arm out into the cell but Frankie quickly pulls it back and keeps a grip on my wrist.

"What in the heck are you doing?!? Do you want to lose an arm?" He said with such anger.

The wolf growls and prepares to attack Frankie for some reason. I raise a finger to my lips and try to quiet him down so we don't get caught. I turn my head to Frankie.

"Dude, calm down. Trust me on this one!" I say.

Frankie slowly lets go of my wrist and I start to put my arm back in between the bars which the wolf seems to be surprised about. He starts to walk to my hand then laid his head in the palm of my hand. I could hear the wolf purr in content as I scratch the bottom of his jaw.

My other arm goes into the cell as well and I try to grab a hold of the chain so I can let him free. Frankie stays quiet and watches my every move with such intensity.

"Good boy," I whisper.

Frankie slowly smiles which causes me to smile also. As soon as I got a hold of the chain I retracted my hand from the burning sensation it brought to me.

"Ow!" I hiss out.

The wolf back away and sits down assuming that he had something to do with my pain. I stare down at my hand to see a large burn mark in the middle of my palm. Frankie grabs a hold of my hand to see what happened.

"Are you okay? Here let me see what happened."

Frankie grazes his fingers over the wound and I stare at him to actually capture his beauty. He was quite attractive in my opinion. His eyes were like caramel while his light brown hair was like a cloud you could lay on. His eyes meet mine and I feel my breath hitch.

"You're beautiful," He whispered.

I blushed a deep red which I am pretty sure matched my hair at this point. The feeling of goosebumps starting to arise on my skin.

"W-what?" I asked.

I needed to make sure I heard him correctly.

"I said, it's a burn. What did you touch?" Frankie repeats himself.

Well then, I guess I am just going crazy. How could I catch feelings for him?

"I-I uh touched the chain," I whisper.

Frankie's eyes widen and he stands up without another word. The wolf gets up also and watches everything we are doing.

"We need to go, like now."

Frankie pulls me up and we rush out the cells without another word, I heard the wolf whimpering and howling for us to come back. It broke my heart to leave him in that terrible place but there was nothing else I could do.

"Frankie, what is going on?" I asked with such confusion.

He ignored me and dragged me back to the house. When we make it back, he slams the door shut behind him and takes me into the living room where Aunt Diana was reading a book while waiting for us.

"Luna Queen," Frankie says seriously.

Aunt Diana looks up and immediately has a worried look on her face when she sees me hold onto my hand tightly.

"Oh my! What happened? Are you all alright? Frankie. What the hell happened?" Aunt Diana rants.

She grabs my hand and looks at the burn mark on my palm. I gulp loudly and watch as Frankie rats us out. We are so dead.

"Okay, please don't freak out. Mia and I went to the cells to go check out the wolf that you both captured, the brownish one you know? Mia was curious and she convinced me to take her there-"

"You both went to the CELLS!?!?" Aunt Diana started yelling.

"Yes, but listen, Mia was talking to the wolf and he woke up but was like super calm and then she put her arm in the cell and touched the wolf-"

"YOU LET HER TOUCH THE WOLF? FRANKIE YOU ARE DEAD!" Aunt Diana was pissed.

He winces but keeps talking,

"As she was touching the wolf she touched the chain and burned herself on the wolfsbane! What does that mean Luna Queen?"

Aunt Diana covers her mouth and lets go of my hand in shock. She looks at the stairs and yells for Uncle Luca to come downstairs.

"Luca!"

"LUCA!" she screams louder.

He bolts down the stairs and hugs Aunt Diana while checking if she was alright. He checks her face and arms to see if there were any injuries.

How cute.

"Darling, are you alright? Are you hurt? What's wrong?"

She points to me and begins to tear up while shaking her head in a harsh motion.

"Luca, she's not human. She's not human," She cries out.

Uncle Luca glares at me and embraces Aunt Diana to help comfort her. I stare at the whole scene and watch another man and woman rush down the stairs.

"Hey, Mom...Dad..." Frankie says while scratching the back of his neck.

"What's going on?"

"Is everything okay?"

Uncle Luca lets out an angry growl and stares right at me with such fury.

"Speak."

I let out a nervous laugh and chuckle. I am so dead.
