A/N: Hello Again Readers. Chapter Four is pretty good and I thought I did a good job writing it. To the right is a picture, as I promised, of Brody. Let me know if you like the way he looks. He's the only one that comes close to what I would want to be a father like figure, minus the blue eyes because Brody's eyes are brown and dark brown hair because his is a dirty blond. Again, if you don't like it, just imagine who you'd picture. Enjoy!

P.S. I will post a picture of Connor on chapter five.

CHAPTER FOUR

Gina was down stairs with Connor and his buddies while I stayed up stairs in my room not wanting to mingle with them. My clock on the night stand read 4:30 and I could already hear Brody openening his room door. His foot steps then walked down the hall and paused at my open door. He was dressed for work; a black fitted shirt with light blue fitted jeans and tennis shoes to go with it. He never shaved his scruff but he looked better that way. He smiled at me, "You okay?" he asked. I nodded and he walked inside to my room, "Gina and the guys down stairs." He said more then asked since he can hear their rowdy noises. I nodded again but then asked, "Did you know why Connor came back to the bar?" Brody hadn't changed his expression, "Yes!"

"So you know I was going to be . . . Mated?"

"Not until I felt him near. I could hear you in the parking lot and I could feel a very strong aura from him. Once I felt it I knew exactly what it was and confirming that he was a werewolf made my confirmation more then a fact."

"Do you know what a mate is?"

"I just know that it's a werewolves way of saying they've found their true love. Maybe if you ask Big Red about it he can fill you in on all the details." he said.

"So does this mean I can come with you to the bar then?" I asked my eyes begging in hopeful regards. At first he looked as if he was going to denie it but then said,

"Alright but we better sneak you out. I already don't like the fact he's under the same roof as you." he was refering to Connor but I don't think he wanted me to hear that part. I didn't ask questions as I jumped out of bed and ran to my closet to grab something to wear.

Brody confirmed his leave with Gina, lying to her that I was already in bed and telling her to stay with the guys and that he could handle the bar by himself. No seemed to suspect anything so I snuck out through my window since it faced the front of the house. I hid low as I fast walked towards Brody's truck. He drove onto the dirted road and towards the bar once I was in the car. We got to the bar in an hour as the sun had set two hours ago. I hopped out as Brody grabbed a few things from the trunk of his car and I walked towards a brown Honda, a car belonging to Arty. He was always the first one here. Even before the bar was open. The windows had been rolled up but I could see him sleeping through his window. I knocked on the window of the driver side as he jumped up and looked at me, noticing it was me, a big smile spread across his face and he opened the door, getting out. His 6'5 height toward over me as he stretched, "Ay you maggots. Takes ya long enough!" He said, his accent never fading.

"Hey Big Red. Do you mind if we talk for a bit before the bar opens." I asked and he gave me a what-did-I-do look but nodded his head. I opened the door to the bar as Arty followed me in. The bar was dark and Brody walked in after me, turning the lights on. I followed Arty down to his spot at the bar and sat next to him.

"Alright kiddo, what can old Arty do for ya?"

"I want to know what a mate is for a werewolf?" I asked and his eyes went wide as if I'd offeneded him, "Now why in this world would you want to go and know that stuff for?"

"Well . . . It's sort of a long story."

"I've got an hour to spare before the bar is open." He said and I grunted but started on the whole meeting the group, in which he was drunk in all of the stories which was the reason he was so oblivious to it.

"And then he said some crazy things like I was his and he knew how my body reacted to him when he was around." I finished. Arty took my words into concideration then sighed, "Well when a werewolf says they found their mate, there is no second guessing fate. But you say this Connor man is an Alpha? That's quite impossible because you'd have to be a strong being in order for an Alpha to be mated with you. Not saying your not. Your probably a strong human but we as creatures, we need strong and when you say Alpha, he's gotta have the strongest being by his side." I let what Arty just say transfer in and then asked,

"So it must be a mistake . . . I'm just a human . . . "

"Well what happened Saturday night that may be something inhuman." Brody joined in as he started to refill the liquor.

"It was just a spasm . . . My eyes must of rolled back and you all mistaken the dark bar for my dark eyes." I defended. Brody raised an eyebrow,

"Baby girl, we all seen what happend, it was no special affects involved. Either your possessed or your not human." I couldn't believe he was saying this. I knew I was human. I was born human and my parents were definetley human.

[Wrong] The voice had said and I paused, my heart pacing now. Brody gave me a confused look, "You okay Eryn?" he asked. I snapped out of my trance and looked at him, "Uh, yeah sorry. Totally spaced it." I said.

"Anyways, I was just telling Arty that you could be a sucubus." Brody jokingly said.

[Wrong] The voice said again and I jumped up, "Do you hear that?" I asked, looking around. What the hell was that voice. Brody and Arty looked around the bar and both shook their heads giving me a curious look,

"No Eryn we didn't hear anything. Are you okay? Should I take you home?" Brody asked as I looked around again and sighed,

"No! I'm fine. Just overwhelemed." Something was really wrong with me. This voice I keep hearing. If I told Brody, he would think I was crazy.

[You might be] The voice said again. This time I screamed,

"Where the hell are you?" Brody and Arty both gave me a quizzical expression and I stared back at them, "You didn't hear that?" I asked again. Brody walked over to me and placed the back of his hand on my forhead, "Eryn, you should probably head home. Take my truck."

"I feel fine. I just . . ." I didn't know what I was doing. Maybe I just needed more rest so I sighed,

"Maybe your right. I guess I should just head home." I surrendered. Brody nodded as I took his keys and walked out of the bar. When I got home Gina had left to the store, leaving me with the guys, who were all crowded in the living room, except Connor.

"Where's your all powerful." I asked, standing in the arch way of the living room. Drayden was busy staring at the TV at a game,

"He went for a run." he answered. The other guys were too glued to the basketball game. I just turned around and walked up to my room. My bedroom door was closed, I didn't remember closing it. Gina probably found out I was missing and closed it. I opened it and found Connor laying in my bed. Great. I threw my uncles keys on my night stand as I shook him, "Hey!" I said. He turned his body in the bed, now facing me, his eyes still closed. His light snores exited his mouth as I grunted but couldn't help staring at him. He even looked good sleeping, how the hell was that possible. All of a sudden his eyes opened and I jumped back off the bed. He started to laugh,

"Enjoy my sexy sleep?" he said, sitting up. I stood up, "You jackass . . . You scared me!" I glared at him. He stood up off the bed,

"Serves you right for creeping on me."

"Creeping on you? Your in my room. Now get out." I said, pointing at the door. He raised an eye brow,

"You know you want to cuddle with me." he said now walking towards me as I took a step back. He stopped and I kept my glare on him,

"Hell no! Get out." I demanded again and he started towards me again as I moved backwards and we did this until my back came up against the wall. He took one more step towards me and stood a foot away,

"Those gray eyes are just calling for me." his lustful voice made me swallow the lump in my throat,

"You better leave before my uncle comes." I threatened.

"Isn't he at the bar working?" he asked, a smile now forming on his lips. Those lips, man how much my body wanted them all over it. What the hell was I saying. He then set his hands on the wall, each one on the side of my head. If I could lean my head further back I would have dented the wall. He leaned his head in towards me, our face just a few inchs away from eachother,

"If it was up to my inner wolf we'd be in that bed but since I'm more of a gentlemen I guess were going to have to wait until your ready."

"Until I'm ready? What does that mean?" he hadn't moved in closer but he was close enough,

"Until I can mark you of course. I'm actually happy the moon picked a very attractive woman." He then started to lean more in and I froze as his lips inched towards mine. I won't lie, I wanted it that bad. His lips against mine. That's all that flashed in my head but my senses kicked in as I quickly pushed him away and he stumbled back, surprised but he chuckled,

"Alright! I get it your just nervous." He joked. I just kept my glare on him,

"You . . . You damn . . . Dog!" I said, not knowing what to say to him. I couldn't call him ugly, that was a lie. I couldn't say he stunk, that was also a lie. And I couldn't say don't ever try to kiss me because I'd hope he would try again. He gasped in sarcasm,

"How dare you . . . Huh! Really? A dog. I'm going to have to show you how to form a come back cause that was really lame." he admitted as he sat back down on my bed. I set my hands on my hips,

"Get the hell out of my room."

"You know this is going to be our room someday, of course until you come back home with me." the confidence in his words erked me.

"The hell I am. I woudn't go with you even if my life depended on it."

"See now your just hurting my feelings. But your a firecracker, I like that in my mate." he winked at me and I huffed,

"I don't even think I'm your mate, unless your really not an Alpha because I'm suppose to be some kind of being of strong nature. As you can see I'm a human." He stood up now and his face went solid,

"That's what I can't figure out. You smell human and you look human enough but your nothing human. I'm the strongest Alpha on earth right now. My pack owns most of the territories in America and a few parts in the Europe area. Every wolf pack knows my pack, unless your a rougue. If the moon has fated you my mate and I assure you, I have no doubt that you are indeed my mate, your nothing close to a human." I could feel the air change around him. He was serious and I dare not say anything. He started towards the door now but stopped not turning to face me,

"All jokes and games aside. If it was up to my wolf, we'd be back at my packs home the day I met you. But I'm giving you time to adjust to the nature of it but if your time expires, I'll force you to come back with me. Believe me, there is nothing your uncle can do to stop me. Even he knows this. I just have a very high level of respect for a vampire who protects his loved ones." with that said, he left my room. I slid down to my knees This was too much for me. There was so many unanswered questions I needed to know and I knew Brody was hiding something from me. What was it?

[Ask and you shall recieve]. The voice had said and I froze. It wasn't anywhere in my room. I looked around to make sure.

[I'm not a figure you can see] she said. Who was she anyways?

[I am you] she answered and I slowly stood up, swallowing the lump in my throat, "Your me?" I asked in my head. Weird I know. I was telepathically communicating with myself. And I thought creatures of the night were weird.

[Surprised?] she, well, I asked I guess. "No, freaked the hell out right now."

[You shouldn't be. I'm you! Your me. Were one. But the wolf was right] she said and I raised an eyebrow, "About what?"

[About you not being human]
