I made a new cover photo, I want you guys to give me your input on it.

My eyes settled onto what looked like the pack house and all of the members' houses surrounding it. There were buildings and shops lining streets. I shifted back and pulled on my clothes before deciding to look around and take in everything around me.

As I walked by members, they were chatting, laughing, and socializing with each other. Everything seemed so...normal. Some people gave me odd looks saying 'Oh, you're new' or 'Who are you?' and stuff like that.

I smiled as I saw pups running around and being scolded by their mothers.

"Watch out!" A feminine voice called out to me. I snapped my head forward just in time to crash into someone. A groan escaped my lips as my head came in contact with the sidewalk. "Shit! I'm so sorry," the person apologized repeatedly as I glanced up to see who this person was. A smile formed on my lips as I recognized the familiar girl with caramel-colored hair.

"Its fine," I assured her as I stood up. Her eyes widened with realization as she recognized.

"Jasmine! Its so good to see you again," the girl greeted me as she pulled me into a hug. When we pulled away, I sent her a smile.

"Good to see you again, Winter." My eyebrows then knitted together in confusion. I didn't think she was a part of the Lunar Shadow Pack, didn't she say she was from the Dawnfall Sky Pack or something like that?

Winter must've heard my thoughts because she smiled sadly, "I found my mate." My eyebrows furrowed. Shouldn't she be happy that she found her mate?

"Who is he?" I asked curiously.

"His name is Zander, he's the Beta. I guess we both got unlucky and got mates from the Lunar Shadow Pack," she answered. I nodded my head understanding why she wasn't too happy. We both are probably being punished for something we did.

"How's it working for you?"

Winter opened her mouth hesitantly. "I don't know," she said honestly, "He's closed off I guess. He doesn't really talk to me. Sometimes he acknowledges me, sometimes he doesn't. I want to get to know him, I mean, he is my mate after all. But whats the point if he won't even let me in?" I just stared at her as her words settled in my head. That is similar to my situation with Parker except I'm also being hard-headed just like him. I have a reason, I want to know his.

"I know what you mean. Its the same for Parker and I, except I'm not making it any easier," I mumbled. Winter nodded her head. I didn't realized we were walking until Winter stopped in front of a cafe. She turned to me, "The food here is amazing, you should try it." She then grabbed my wrist and dragged me inside earning a laugh from me.

I lazily opened the front door to Parker's house, exhausted from taking in everything. Winter dragged me around and took me into many different stores. I needed to sit down.

As soon as I closed the door my back was slammed into it. I gasped as air was knocked out of me. My eyes locked with a pair of angry green ones.

"Where were you?" Parker growled as his large hands pinned my small wrists against the door. I opened my mouth to respond but he continued, "Do you not listen? You're supposed to tell me where you go and you can only go with my permission!"

My mouth fell open as anger overcame me. "You weren't even here! How was I supposed to 'ask for permission' if you weren't here?" I snapped as I tried wiggling out of his grip. His grip tightened causing me to grit my teeth. Parker stayed silent and I knew that he knew I was right. I couldn't help but give him a smug look.

Parker stared at me angrily before he leaned closer towards my ear. I could feel his warm breath hit my skin which caused me to shiver. I so badly wanted to feel his lips on it but I quickly brushed the thoughts away.

"Don't make me lock you in your room so you won't disobey me," he said lowly in my ear. He then pulled away from me and stepped back. He turned to leave but I spoke, "What do you expect me to do? Whats my purpose for being here if I'm not doing anything?" I raised my voice, "Why take me here if I can do much better at my old pack? Why not treat me like a mate instead of stalking me while I'm in the shower? I may act stubborn but I have my reasons."

Parker didn't turn around and kept on walking away. I didn't say anything else, I've done my fair share in this argument and I know that I'm right on this one.

I heard a door slam and I couldn't help but smirk. After having my moment of smugness, I headed to the kitchen. I noticed Logan wasn't in the kitchen. She hasn't been here all day, maybe she has the day off. I pulled out a package of Ramen noodles and heated up water. After the water boiled, I poured the dried noodles into the water and added the chicken seasoning into the water. When it was done I scooped some of it into a bowl. I sat my bowl down on the bar in the kitchen, sat on one of the stools and began eating.

My phone vibrated as it sat next to my bowl. I glanced down at my phone and read the text.

Anthony -6:17
Is Alpha-boy treating you right?

I couldn't help but laugh at him. I let out a sigh as I sent him a reply.

Me -6:18
It could be worse. I miss home.

As soon as my text was sent and showed that it was read, my phone started ringing. I looked at the called ID and chuckled as Anthony's name lit up the screen.

Before I could greet him, Anthony spoke, "Princess, what is that bastard doing to you?" His voice came out like a growl.

"What? No hello?" I chuckled trying to ease his anger down. I don't understand why he's acting so, how should I say it? Protective?

"Jamie," he said lowly in a small warning. I laughed at him, "Ok, chill. You don't need to get your panties in a twist." Anthony let out a long sigh while chuckling at the end.

"I've missed you so much. You have no idea," he said through the line. I smiled at his words. He continued, "And I know you've missed this sexy body of mine." A laugh escaped my mouth. There's the Anthony I know.

"I've missed you, too," I responded.

"Princess, please tell me what you mean by 'it could be worse'," Anthony pleaded. I let out a long sigh, "I guess he-" My voice was cut off when someone called out to me.

"Luna."

I turned my head to the door frame of the kitchen and noticed the Beta leaning against the frame. I furrowed my brows. When did he get here?

"Yes?" I asked, my voice laced with confusion. Zander cleared his throat and stood up straighter.

"Alpha would like to speak with you," he answered. My body stiffened. He wants to speak with me? I don't think I did anything wrong, unless he's angry with me from earlier. "He's in his office." I nodded my head in response and then tuned in back into my phone.

"Sorry, Anthony. I'll call you back." With that being said, I ended the call and stood up from the stool I was sitting on and walked out of the kitchen, not before nodding towards Zander, who followed behind me as I walked towards Parker's office.

Once I reacher towards the giant wooden doors, I hesitantly raised my hand to knock on the door. I gulped as I knocked on the door three times. I waited there a few minutes before I heard a gruff, "Come in."

I slowly opened the door and peaked in. Parker was sitting at his desk looking at papers. "Come sit," he spoke, not looking up from the paper he was...trying to read? I walked in fully and took a seat in the chair that was facing his desk. Zander followed me in but Parker stopped him.

"Alone."He used his Alpha tone with Zander. He bowed his head, "Apologies, Alpha." He then left and shut the door behind him. I turned my attention back to Parker who finally looked up from his papers and leaned back in his chair crossing his arms.

"You called?" I raised my brow at him. He nodded his head, "I did. I would like to discuss the purpose for why I brought you to my pack, as you brought up before." I watched as he leaned forward and rested his elbows on his desk. "Lets make a deal." This caught my attention. I leaned back in my chair, "And what is this deal?" I asked suddenly interested in what he had to say.

"I'll give you permission to get out of the house during the day and visit the pack. You are not allowed to leave pack territories," he delivered, his eyes staring at me waiting for an answer. I narrowed my eyes. What do I have to do in return to be able to have my 'freedom'? It was my turn to lean forward in my chair.

"And what do I have to do in return?" I asked raising an eyebrow. He smirked at me, a sexy smirk that I oh-so-badly wanted to wipe off his face. "You must do as I say," he responded. I rolled my eyes, "Thats nothing new."

His smirk grew wider which caused my brows to furrow. "That's not what I meant." I gave him a confused. His gaze didn't falter.

"I mean that I can touch you whenever I want, however I want. Your purpose is to carry my pups to keep the Alpha blood going," he spoke as his hard eyes stared intently at me. My mouth fell open as all the color drained from my face.

Is he for real? All he wants from me is sex? To please him? Pups? He doesn't want to actually love me. My mate doesn't want anything do with me but to make pups.
