Prologue

How could I ever return to the life I had been living before. I looked at everything and everyone that walked by me on the crowded street. Looking up at the tall buildings, I was mesmerized. I had never stepped foot into the large cities that seemed to be everywhere. I had spent my life, all twenty years of it, in the forest. With my pack. I stopped walking as I felt a light touch on my mind as someone tried reading my thoughts. I looked around, panicked.

If they had found me I was definitely dead. My eyes scanned everyone, but no one seemed to be staring directly at me. I turned on my heel and kept walking down the sidewalk. My heart was racing in my chest. When I rounded the corner I leaned up against the wall and tried to catch my breath. I mentally slapped myself, 'How are you going to function in the city if your panicking every two minutes?' My wolf screamed at me. I looked around again, ignoring my wolf as she paced back and forth inside of me. 'We should have stayed in the woods.' She said as she faded into the darkness.

Closing my eyes and taking a deep breath I started walking again. I would get away from them. They would never find me, especially in such a large city. I stumbled as my eyesight became blurry and someone bumped into me making me fall into an alley. I tried getting to my feet but I couldn't seem to get my legs to work, 'Come on Megara, you have to get up' my wolf whined as I looked in front of me and there stood a man. With a sinister grin he lifted me into his arms and walked half way down the alley before opening a door and throwing me in. I flailed in the air before I landed on the concrete floor. With a groan I looked up and saw the door closing, "No I didn't escape my pack just to be caught by you." I yelled and stood.

I wasn't quick enough and the door slammed closed. I took a deep breath and tried to stay calm. I was in total darkness, without a clue as to where I was exactly when I heard something growling low in its throat. I looked around even though I couldn't see anything. When out of nowhere two red orbs appeared. I screamed at the top of my lungs and ran towards where the door was. I didn't reach it on my own. The owner of those red eyes slammed me into it making the door rattle. I couldn't find enough courage inside of me to shift into my wolf as I was dragged away from the door by my shoulder. I could feel blood running down my shoulder as it growled and chomped down harder. I screamed again at the pain. I was loosing consciousness fast when the door was blown of its hinges. I closed my eyes, I was getting weaker I could feel it as I passed out from loosing too much blood.

Chapter 1

There was one thing I knew when I opened my eyes and that was that I was laying in an extremely large bed. 'How did I get here?' Nothing was familiar. My eyes shifted around the opulent room when the door suddenly burst open. I jumped and scooted towards the farthest corner of the bed away from the door.

A man stood there framed in the doorway. When he stepped into the room I gasped. He had dark hair with electric blue highlights, his skin was a light tan. What held my gaze though was his eyes. So gold and impossible for a human to posses.

"What's your name?" He asked me as he came closer towards the bed his voice making sparks of electricity race through my body, so sinful it was, a whisper in the ear wasn't as seductive as his voice. I couldn't help but stare at him.

"My name is Megara." I said hesitantly trying not to show him how much his voice had affected me, because I would be lying if I didn't admit to myself than he had made me feel... Loved? 'Snap out of it Meg, he's nothing.' My wolf growled but I could tell that she wanted him like I wanted him.

He continued staring at me, before he sighed almost reverently, "Megara." Making me frown. Was he some kind of pervert?

"What's yours?" I asked him shifting on the bed as he continued to stare at me as if I were the most beautiful thing he had ever seen.

"Liam." He replied his eyes never leaving mines as he stepped closer.

"How did I get here?" I asked him, watching him with an eagle eye as he took another step forward.

"We brought you here." He said with a slight shrug.

"We?" I said concerned because there were more people here than just him, but who was I kidding like I would have been able to take down Liam. He was way bigger than I was and I'd bet my life on the fact that he was all muscle.

"My pack." He replied finally looking away for the first time since he'd walked into the room, "You'll meet them soon."

"Why did you bring me here?" I asked him as he sat at the edge of the bed making me nervous.

"To keep you safe and alive." Liam said without looking at me.

I remembered my shoulder and looked at it. It was wrapped in gauze with blood already beginning to seep through, "Thank you." I whispered looking away from my shoulder and looking down at my hands.

"Anytime." He said as three men appeared in the doorway, "Megara, this is my pack, Gabriel, Grant and Skye.

"Hi." I said shyly as I stared at all of them. They were all sinfully gorgeous.

"Hey." The one that had been introduced as Skye said.

I nearly drooled, his voice was sinfully soft, 'Nothing compared to Liams sex infused voice' I thought to myself 'Liams voice was, unlike anything, seductive.' Skyes eyes were an electric blue that shone with sincere happiness as he looked me over. His hair a golden brown looked so soft. 'I would love to feel his hair.' As soon as the thought was uttered in my mind he stepped forward and sat on the bed inclining his head towards me.

I couldn't help the tremor in my hand as I touched his hair. His muscles rippled as he leaned closer, "Skye is extremely taken with you." Liam said to me as he watched Skye continue to lean into my hand.

Grant stared at me with his lavender eyes, his hair the same golden brown as Skyes, "Hi." He said his voice just as sinful as Skyes. I stared at them all and noticed that they all carried the same tattoo on their arms. My birthmark was the shape of the All Seeing Eye and there on their arms was an All Seeing Eye, plainly tattooed on their arm and they all seemed extremely proud of them. I looked over at Gabriel and saw the adoration on his face as he stared at me with his turquoise eyes that shone in the dimly lit room. His hair a deep mahogany.

"How did you find me?" I asked Liam curiously. The last thing I remembered was getting attacked and the door swinging wide open. Then nothing. My mind was a complete blank.

"Skye found you on his way home." Liam said to me as they all continued to stare at me. It was kind of unnerving having all those eyes on you at once.

"Oh." I said softly still caressing Skyes hair, for some reason I couldn't seem to help my self. I loved the feel of its silkiness. Liam stared at me like I had come out of one of his wet dreams, "So where exactly am I?"

"Still in the city." Grant said vaguely enough that I frowned and stopped touching Skye.

"Hmm." I hummed and shifted on the bed again before standing up and walking over to a window. I pulled back the curtains and there below me was Times Square. I'd walked by there minutes before being attacked. I was completely and utterly shocked.

"Megara, what pack do you belong to?" Liam asked me and I looked over at him. The fear that they were somehow part of them made me freeze in panic. Liam took a step towards me and I scrambled back hitting the glass, 'Nice job Megara, you cornered yourself.'

"Why do you want to know?" I asked them as I pressed back against the window frame, "What pack do you belong to?" I asked back. I wasn't going to say anything more until they told me what pack they belonged too. If there was some chance that they did belong to my pack then I wouldn't hesitate to jump out of the window.

I watched Liam as he glanced at the rest of the guys before sighing, "We're part of the Shadow Pack." He said hesitantly making me look away in relief. They didn't belong to my pack.

"I'm a member of the Night Stalkers." I said so low that I wondered if they even heard me when none of them said anything.

"You're the rogue?" Liam asked me in a shocked tone making me smile.

"Is that what they're calling me?" I said a bit amused, most wolves who saw me wouldn't think I'd be much of a threat to be even considered a rogue. Why would they? I wasn't that impressive. At least that's my thought. Most would say I rivaled the fairy princess's in story books. My eyes a bright, almost blinding at times, turquoise with lines of silver and flecks of gold. I had cut my dark hair every chance I had gotten but before I'd left the pack it had been nearly to my knees, now it barely reached mid-back. My alabaster skin glowed at night. It had made me self conscious when I was younger.

"Well, yeah. They're asking around for a 'young rogue' who went 'missing' about four days ago." Gabriel said as he walked closer his eyes falling to my birthmark. I stared into his eyes and watched as shock replaced the adoration. He reached out so suddenly for my arm that I screamed. He ignored my scream and hauled me forward making Liam growl, "Liam, did you see this?"

Liam walked forward and grabbed a hold of Gabriel, pushing him away from me. I looked up at him with wide eyes. I could feel tears pricking the backs of my eyes as I held them in. I really needed to relax, "Can I see?" He asked me softly. I blinked up at him uncertainly.

Slowly I nodded and watched as he leaned forward and looked at my birthmark before his eyes lifted up in shock and he stared at me, "What?" I said, frowning at him and looking at the rest of the guys as Gabriel whispered to them.

"Megara, how did you get this?" He asked me as he traced my birthmark slowly making my eyes close as a spark of electricity flowed through me making me shudder.

I swallowed before I opened my eyes and stared into Liam's golden eyes, "I was born with it."

"Megara, we're the guards of the All Seeing Eye. She's a very special woman. She sees all and knows all." Liam whispered still tracing my birthmark. I couldn't look away from him as his eyes shifted to his hand, "You're her."

I jerked back and into the window again making it rattle this time with the force of my weight, "What?" I nearly yelled at the top of my lungs.

Gabriel nodded, "We swore our allegiance to her a long time ago. The first thing she ever told us was to always be prepared for her death for we would always out live her. That we would always fail in keeping her safe until she was reborn into the body of a woman named Megara." He said the last hesitantly probably thinking I would freak out and he was right. The first thing I did was shove Liam back with more strength than I thought I had. He went flying back into Gabriel and Grant.

Without even thinking I took off at a dead run towards the door only to have Skye grab hold of my hand. 'How could I have forgotten about him?' "We know it's a lot to take in Megara but it's the truth. You know it's the truth. The dreams..." He said and trailed away when he saw the shocked look on my face.

"H-how did you know about the dreams?" I asked him. I couldn't help the panic that continued to course through me. No one knew of the dreams I'd had over the last couple of years. They had haunted me when I was awake. Making the abuse ten times worse for me.

"Haunting memories aren't they?" Liam said softly as he walked over and pulled me away from Skye, 'Don't touch her.' I jerked back as those words drifted into my head. I knew they belonged to Liam but I shouldn't have been able to hear them. They hadn't been directed to me but to Skye.

"Memories?" I whispered in disbelief. Those dreams couldn't be memories. There was too...too much blood for it to be real.

"Yes of our past battles." Grant said softly looking over at me with a soft smile on his face as if reminiscing, "The things we did in those days." He sighed wistfully. I was horrified, how could he even think of those moments?

"Shut up Grant." Liam growled at him as he looked down at me, seeing the horrified expression on my face, "Are you okay?" He whispered stroking a finger down my cheek.

I nodded even though I really wasn't all that okay. I cringed, had they been lying when they told me that Skye had found me? Now that I really looked at him he didn't look big enough to be the one who saved me, but Liam, he was big enough. Deep inside I could feel it. It had been Liam who saved me, I looked up into his eyes and whispered, "You saved me not Skye." I said and without letting him try to deny it I asked, "How did you find me?"

He looked at me with a sheepish grin on his face, "I followed you. I lost you when you stumbled into the alley. That's the only reason you got caught by the Cleaner."

"Cleaner?" I asked not really wanting to know but needing to know what exactly he was.

"Yea, he thinks it's fun to feed the rabid wolves he keeps with younger wolves." Grant said with a disgusted look on his face, "We killed him while Liam got you of the room."

I sighed as I looked them over again, "What do I do with you guys?" I asked them. They were all staring at me as if I was the answer to their prayers. Liam though stared at me like I was his, "And why do you stare at me like that?" I asked him as his golden eyes continued to stare into mines.

Liam actually blushed before looking away, "We need to take you to the temple." He said not even bothering to answer my last question.

I frowned at him. I had really wanted an answer, "Ok... So do you guys know why he stares at me like that?" I asked looking over at Grant, Skye and Gabriel.

Skye smiled and opened his mouth to answer me when suddenly Liam was in front of him, "Don't you dare tell her why." He growled in Skyes face.

Skye continued smiling as he leaned to the side and looked at me, "He's your mate." As soon as the words were out of his mouth he was shoved backwards. He hit the wall and landed on the floor. Where he'd hit the wall was a huge indentation of his body.

I barely glanced at Skye though. All I could do was stare at Liam. 'He's our mate Megara.' My wolf said. I backed away as Liam turned to stare at me. His eyes molten with lust.

I was not about to have a mating ritual in a room full of guys. I didn't want to have a mating ritual at all for that matter. I turned and ran down the long hallway. There were doors everywhere. I didn't make it very far into the hallway when I glanced behind me and there stood Liam. My eyes widened and I opened the door to my right, running in, I closed the door and locked it. 'That's not going to stop him Megara.' My wolf whispered as the door started to buckle.

I started to panic. I didn't want to mate. Not with anyone. 'Stop punishing yourself. Someone wants to love you. Why can't you just accept it?' My wolf growled making me freeze in the middle of the room, 'She was right. I was punishing myself.' Suddenly the door burst open and Liam walked in slamming the door closed behind him.

Chapter 2

I stared into Liams eyes and took a deep breath as I took a step back. Liam just stood there staring at me. Before I knew it he was standing in front of me. I nearly screamed but something made me stop and watch what he would do. He leaned closer and traced a fingertip down my cheek. I shuddered at the sensations he caused. I could literally see the electricity as he laid a hand on my waist before he trailed his hand up my body as he pulled me closer. I looked up at him as his lips lowered to mine.

I drowned in his kiss. Wrapping my arms around him I couldn't help the moan that slipped out as our lips parted. He lifted me into his arms, my hands slipped up to his shoulders as he carried me to the bed. I bounced once before he was there holding me down as his lips crashed into mine making me moan and arch towards him. His hands roamed my body and as they dipped and curved my eyes opened and I caught our shadows moving at a much more different pace than us. My shadow was completely wrapped around his and when her hand scratched down his shoulder four long red welts appeared on his shoulder and he groaned softly before burying his face in my neck and licking there.

I turned my head to the side as his lips trailed down my neck and across my shoulder. I could barely breathe as one of my legs moved and wrapped around his waist pulling him closer. Liam growled as he grabbed the hem of my t-shirt and pulled it up and over my head. He looked down at me before cupping my breasts in his hands before leaning down and tracing the lace edge of my bra. I moaned and pulled him closer. He chuckled against me before his lips trailed down my stomach and unbuttoned my jeans. Sliding them off he trailed his hand up my thigh.

I reached for him and cupped his face in my hands as I pulled him back up to my lips. I don't know what came over me but one second our lips were meshed together in a soul searching kiss the next I was nuzzling his shoulder before I opened my mouth and bit him. He growled low in his throat as he held me to him. I released him with a moan as he sank his own teeth into my shoulder. The next thing I knew I was lying underneath Liams naked body on top of my own.

"You're mine, Megara." He whispered against my lips as he sank into me. I moaned as I arched into him. In that moment I knew nothing in the world would ever compare to Liam.

*****

I jerked awake as I felt someones arm wrapped around my waist. When I looked over I sighed in relief. It was only Liam. For a moment I had thought I was back in the confines of the pack leaders tent. Lying back down next to Liam I tried to relax. 'He will never force you to do anything.' My wolf whispered sleepily. I took a deep breath and turned in Liams arms so I was facing him. I smiled to myself as I stroked a hand down his cheek. Whoever would of thought I would be lying in the arms of my mate? Certainly not me.

Liams eyes opened and he stared at me for a long minute before he smiled and leaned forward. Pressing a kiss to my lips I sighed and wrapped my arms around him, "Hey." He whispered as he pushed my hair out of my face.

"Hey." I whispered back a bit more nervous with him awake than I was when he was asleep. I could feel myself blush as I ducked my head and tried to slip out of the bed to go to the bathroom

Liam grabbed my hand before I could stand, "You're not going anywhere." He said with a grin and pulled me closer to the bed.

I sighed and looked over at him, "Unless you want me to pee all over the bed I suggest you let go." I said and laughed when he let go of my arm. I leaned over and gave him a kiss as I grabbed the blankets and whipped them off of him. I wrapped them around myself, walked out of the room and started down the hall opening all the doors until I found the bathroom.

A couple minutes later I walked out of the bathroom and found Skye standing there, "Sorry, I didn't know you were waiting to use the bathroom."

Skye laughed, "Just wanted to know if you were hungry." He said and leaned against the wall.

"Yeah I am." I said hesitantly making him frown at me.

"Megara, why is it that my pack hasn't met you? I mean our packs do lots of things together and we've never seen you." He said looking down at me with a frown.

My eyes widened and I looked away, "It's embarrassing." I whispered and to me a real shame in what kind of parents I had. They didn't even try to protect me. I could tell Skye was still looking at me waiting for me to answer, "I don't think it's something I should tell you." I finally said and started down the hall towards the room I had shared with Liam.

He stared at me as I walked in and closed the door, "So...that question Skye asked you." He started making me stare at him.

I narrowed my eyes at him, "You were listening?"

Liam shrugged, "It happens. Anyways will you tell me?" He asked as he stood from the bed and walked over to me.

I looked away, nervous. I was my packs dirty secret. Would Liam see me any differently if I told him the truth? I looked up into his eyes before saying, "When I was twelve my parents brought me to our Alphas tent and left me there. It was only later that I learned that he had chosen me out of every girl in the pack to be his...his 'companion'. I wasn't allowed to leave his tent for any reason." I whispered and closed my eyes not wanting to see the disgust on his face as I told him the rest, "He raped me. Almost every day for eight years. He took everything I wanted to give to my mate."

"That's why you ran." Liam said as he cupped my chin in his hand and lifted my face to his. When he saw that my eyes were closed his grip tightened a bit, "Open your eyes." He growled and when they fluttered open he closed the distance between us and kissed me.

I pulled back as tears gathered in my eyes, "He even stole my first kiss from me." I whispered as a tear ran down my cheek as he pulled me into his arms and hugged me close I began to sob against his chest. Tears ran down my face and onto his chest before he pulled me up into his arms and cradled me close. I wrapped my arms around his neck and sobbed into his shoulder. One of his arms was under my knees and the other wrapped my around my shoulders as he turned his face into my hair and sighed softly.

He pulled back, my feet slid to the floor as he cupped my cheek in his hand and looked down at me, "You're never going back there." He whispered softly as he slid his right hand into my hair and softly wiped my tears with the thumb of his left hand.

"You're not disgusted by me?" I asked him softly and watched as his eyes lit up with anger.

"Never." He growled and pulled me close again just as someone knocked on the door.

"Hey Megara you said you were hungry, we have breakfast ready." Skye said through the closed door before I heard him walk away.

Liam smiled down at me before letting me go and putting some clothes on. He walked into the closet and came back with jeans, a turquoise v-neck and underwear, "Here get dressed." He said and waited until I was dressed before leading me out of the room, down the hall and into the large kitchen.

Skye and Gabriel smiled over at me from where they sat at the kitchen table. Grant was at the stove making something to eat, "Did she tell you?" Skye asked Liam as he sat down and pulled me into his lap. I blushed and looked away from them. I stared out the window watching the crowds of people.

Liam nodded, "Yeah. We'll leave for the temple after we finish eating." He said as he stroked my hair out of my face and pushed a plate full of food towards me.

I smiled at him and began to eat my food with my fingers, Skye smiled and pushed a silver thing towards me, I ignored it as I listened to them talk to each other about complete nonsense. When I finished I pushed the plate away and went to stand only to have Liam wrap an arm around me. I looked over at him and he was smiling over at me, "What?" I whispered as he leaned forward and pressed his lips to mine.

Liam pulled back and shook his head before he nuzzled my neck, "You guys go pack up." He said to Grant, Skye and Gabriel.

"Everything's already in the car." Grant said and laughed when Liam jerked away.

"I guess we should get going." He said and waited until I stood before he grabbed my hand and led us through the apartment and out into a spacious hallway towards a bank of elevators. Liam hit the down button. While we waited Skye and Gabriel started a bit of a shoving match. Liam just shook his head and held me close to his side.

I sighed softly as the elevator doors opened. We stepped in and Grant pressed the parking level button. We rode down in silence. When the doors opened it showed the garage. We stepped off and Liam grabbed hold of my hand and led me towards a car. He opened the passenger door and helped me in. I sat down in the most comfiest seats in the world. Grant, Skye and Gabriel got in while Liam sat in the drivers seat and smiled over at me, "What kind of car is this?" I asked him as slid a fingertip across the soft red leather of the seat.

"Its a BMW X5." Liam said as he started the car and pulled out of the parking spot and heading out onto the street.

"Is that a good thing?" I asked and frowned when Grant and Skye laughed, "I'll take that for a yes." I said as I looked out the window at all the people in amazement. So many people and Liam had still managed to find me, "How long were you guys following me?"

"Not long, about a day or so." Grant said as he settled back in his seat.

I continued looking out the window as my eyes widened. They'd begun following me the moment I had stepped foot into the city, "You should relax Megara, we won't be there for awhile." Liam said as he squeezed my hand. I smiled over at him and settled into the seat.

I felt so safe with Liam it almost scared me. I half expected that he was just playing with me and he was going to hand me over to my pack at any moment. I relaxed completely as I noticed that we were heading out of the city. Liam let go of my hand for a second to turn on the radio before reaching over again and placing his hand on my thigh. I glanced at him from underneath my eye lashes and smiled when I saw him looking back at me before he turned his gaze back to the road.

Music poured out of the speakers as I pressed a button on the door and the window rolled down. I jerked towards Liam who only chuckled as I leaned towards the open window as wind poured in the car. I laid my head on the window, closed my eyes and fell asleep.

Chapter 3

I yawned and opened my eyes when the car stopped. I looked around and Liam was smiling over at me, "We're here." he said and got out of the car and walked up a short flight of steps to a porch. I climbed out of the car and walked up the flight of steps to where Liam stood. Grant, Gabriel and Skye unloaded the trunk and began to bring things inside as soon as Liam opened the front door and led me inside. We walked into a spacious living room with a set of stairs the led to a loft. There was a small hallway that led to a nice sized kitchen. Liam grabbed my hand and led me up the stairs, "This will be our room." He said opening a door and letting me walk in first.

My eyes widened, there was a large four poster bed. A large bay window with a cushy seat. I turned and looked at Liam before I went on the tip of my toes so I could wrap my arms around his neck and pull him close. I breathed in his scent. He smelled just like the ocean. He lifted me into his arms and groaned when I wrapped my legs around his waist, "I love you Liam. You make me feel like nothing in the world can touch me or hurt me." I whispered in his ear before I nipped at his jaw.

Liam cupped my cheek in the palm of his hand, "I love you and I promise no one is going to touch or hurt you." He said softly before he leaned forward and pressed a kiss to my lips just as the door to the bedroom opened.

"Hey Liam we have a problem." Gabriel said with a worried look on his face.

"What's going on?" He asked as he set me down on the floor and held me close to his side.

I looked at Gabriel and just knew, "They're here." I whispered and literally melted into Liam.

Gabriel nodded, "The Alpha is here. He's waiting in the living room for you Liam."

Liam nodded and began walking out of the room holding my hand and making sure I stayed behind him, "He can't have you." Liam growled softly to me as we walked down the stairs and into the living room.

In the middle of the room stood my worst nightmare. His dark blonde hair and blue eyes swept over me and he grinned a wicked grin, "She's mine Liam." He growled and took a step towards me.

I held tight to Liam and took a step back so I stood behind him, "She's mine. Not yours." Liam growled back, "She wears my scent, not yours." Liam said as I placed my palms on his back and rested my forehead on his back.

"That whore would carry anyone's scent." he said with a smirk.

Liam growled at that, "She is my mate. She now carries my scent. You should take it as the warning it is and leave her alone."

"Liam," I whispered softly and he turned and looked at me, "He's not worth the trouble." I said when he stared into my eyes. I looked at my warden, the man that had kept me prisoner for eight years, "I'm not going anywhere with you. I'm staying here with my mate." I literally growled at him, "If you need anymore proof that I'm not yours nor was I ever yours," I trailed off as I pulled Liam close and kissed him with all the love and passion I felt for him. Something I had never done with my alpha. Everything we'd ever done had been forced but not with Liam. I had given of myself like he had given of himself and I knew deep inside he would never have to force me to do anything.

Liam pulled back from our kiss and smirked at the man who had tortured me, "Leave. Now." Liam said as he picked me up in his arms and walked out of the room. Seconds later the front door slammed closed.

"He's not going to give up." Skye said from where he sat at the bottom of the stairs.

Liam nodded, "I know. He seems pretty determined to have you, Megara." He said as he looked down at me as I frowned.

He might seem determined to have me but it wasn't because he wanted me to warm his bed at night. He had wanted me to be his alpha female. I could feel it radiating off of him when he'd stared at me, "I made my choice and he made his." I said as I set my feet on the ground and walked over to the fridge. Opening the fridge I looked inside, "Can someone cook? I don't exactly know how." I said as I looked over my shoulder to look at Skye, who stood and began digging in the fridge while I sat down in a stool and watched him.

I didn't feel as weird as I had in the city. All the openness and glass in the house made it seem like the woods came inside. I glanced at Liam, who had walked over and sat down next to me, I couldn't help but stare at him. He was so much more than I had expected in a mate. I had resigned myself to being the mate of one of the alphas friends. I thanked the gods in the heavens that that hadn't happened. Liam smiled when he caught me looking at him.

"Whenever you're ready I'll have Grant get the high priestess." Liam said softly as he stared at me.

"You can have her come whenever you want." I replied as I placed my elbows on the island in front of me and rested my head on my hands.

Liam nodded as Grant and Gabriel walked into the kitchen, "Food!" they exclaimed together as Skye put a plate of eggs on the island and turned back to the stove.

"Grant, I need you to go pick up the high priestess." Liam said as he stood and grabbed plates and forks from a cabinet.

Grant shrugged, "Ok. So how do you like it here Megara?" He asked me as Liam served me a plate of eggs and handed me a fork.

I stared at the fork then looked over at Grant who had a bit of a smile on his face as he saw the confusion in mine, "It's beautiful." I said and looked back at the fork.

Liam smiled over at me before walking over and helping me use the fork, "You hold it like this." He said and showed me how to hold it.

I frowned down at the fork as the eggs kept falling off. After about the fifth try I was about to give up when the eggs finally stayed on the fork, "I did it." I exclaimed and ate the eggs.

Liam just smiled and shook his head as he made himself a plate and sat down next to me. After we'd finished breakfast Grant left while Skye, Gabriel, Liam and I sat in the living room watching tv. While Liam and I were watching tv Gabriel and Skye were fooling around, "Who's the high priestess?" I asked Liam when the tv show we were watching went to commercial.

"She's not as important as you." Liam said pulling me close into his side.

I sighed and cuddled close. I must've fallen asleep because when I opened my eyes Skye and Gabriel were gone and Grant was walking into the house. Behind him stood a young woman about my age. Her curly hair reached her shoulders and was a rich brown. Her chocolate brown eyes had specks of silver and gold. My eyes traveled over her and there on her arm, just like Liam, Gabriel, Skye and Grant, she had an all seeing eye, "Hello." she said as she walked further into the living room.

I sat up and looked at Liam before looking back at her, "Hello." I replied and saw her smile at me.

"My name is Nicola." She said with a half smile as she sat in a love seat close to the door as if knowing that I wasn't comfortable with her being close to me.

"This is Megara." Liam said as he stroked a hand down my hair and tucked it behind my ear.

"She's beautiful Liam. Nothing less than what you deserve." She said to Liam.

Liam nodded and looked over at Grant, "Did you have any trouble?" He asked him and watched as Grant shook his head.

"Not at all and that was a surprise." Grant said with a shake of his head, "We were expecting someone from the night stalkers to at least follow us, but they didn't even do that." He said sounding dismayed.

I smiled at his tone. He really seems sad and down about it, "Were you expecting to come back with a story of your heroics?" I asked him sarcastically.

He shrugged and replied, "You used to enjoy my battle stories." He said and smiled back at me.

"That was the old me. If I even smell blood," I shuddered at the thought. It was a surprise I woke from my nightmares and didn't head straight for the bathroom.

Grant shrugged, "I guess people can change." He said with a grin on his face as Nicola leaned forward in her seat and burst out laughing.

I frowned at them and looked at Liam who had a smile on his face, "Have I met you before?" I asked Nicola wanting to know more about myself and my past lives.

She shook her head, "You always died the day before we were supposed to meet." She said with a sad look on her face, "This is the first time we've ever met and no offense but it's exciting for me to meet the host of the All Seeing Eye." She said with a grin making me smile at her for being honest with me.

"No offense taken," I whispered as Liam wrapped an arm around me.

"The other priestesses will be here soon to meet you Megara. I hope Liam explained to you that you're special." Nicola said as she looked over at Liam with a hopeful look on her face.

"All he mentioned to me was exactly that, that I was special." I said to Nicola who frowned at Liam.

"In all of her other lives you told them within ten minutes of them meeting you, but not her?" Nicola exclaimed as she stood and began to pace the room.

"She's my mate Nicola." Liam said with a growl making me frown over at him.

"That has nothing to do with it." She yelled at Liam making me look over at her and growl, "If you don't tell her, I will." She said pointing a finger at Liam.

Liam growled softly but looked away from Nicola and looked over at me, "Megara, when I first met you, your name was Ai. You lived in Japan with your father. You had visions and he knew when to protect his castle. One night a demon came and spread rumors through the town. Rumors that went along the lines that you had to be sacrificed to stop the demons from attacking." Liam sighed before continuing, "That's when I met you in the forest running away from your own townspeople, before I could do anything they shot you with an arrow, you tumbled into my arms. Once the villagers saw that you would be dead by nightfall they left. That's when you began to whisper to me. About who you were. I mentioned to you how she told me your name but she also said that....that you would die trying to save everyone." He finished and stood off the couch and went back up stairs.

I heard the door slam far away from me. I could almost see the forest that Liam had been talking about. I could almost smell the air and feel the cold ground, but the pain was unbearable and every breath was like lava. I blinked and the sensations disappeared as if they had never been. I knew deep inside that I had said more to Liam in those moments in the forest as I lay dying. He wouldn't have just sworn his allegiance to anybody. Would he?

'Of course not.' I heard my wolf whisper and I couldn't help but believe her, 'He loved us, even then.' My eyes traveled to the stairs and then back over to Nicola who stood near the window, she smiled encouragingly at me. That's all I needed. I raced up the stairs and opened the door to the bedroom I shared with Liam.

Chapter 4

He looked over when he heard me come in, his eyes flashed with love and sadness before he looked away from me. I walked over to him and wrapped my arms around his waist, "I love you." I whispered into his back and felt him stiffen before turning abruptly in my arms and pulling me close.

"I love you." He whispered into my hair making tears gather in my eyes. I never thought I would hear those words from him. No one had ever loved me, not even my parents, "I'll only ever love you." He said before he leaned down and pressed a kiss to my lips.

I moaned into his mouth making him growl and pull me up into his arms. He groaned when I wrapped my legs around his waist, making me smile against his lips. I couldn't help the moan that burst from my lips as his lips trailed down my neck. I could feel him smile against my neck before he trailed his lips further down. I tilted my head as he licked at a spot between my neck and shoulder and moaned again when he opened his mouth and sucked. I knew that spot he was sucking at was regarded as a submissive act in wolf culture, on my part anyways, and I couldn't help but moan when I felt his teeth graze my skin.

I could feel him moving and then I felt the silk sheets against my back. He growled and bit me. I moaned and writhed against him as pleasure coarse through me. When he pulled away I whimpered with the loss of his body heat. I looked down and there were his teeth marks, forever on my skin. I looked up at him and he leaned forward and captured my lips in his mouth. Our lips parted on a gasp as I felt him beginning to strip me of my clothes.

I whimpered softly as he trailed his lips over every inch of skin he uncovered, "Gods, you're so beautiful." He growled against my stomach and began trailing his lips lower. When he reached the V of my legs he growled and buried his face against me. Licking and touching making me groan and writhe against his fingers and mouth. When the pleasure was too much he slipped his fingers into me and growled, "Come for me."

I screamed out my pleasure. He looked at me with a satisfied grin on his face as he shifted in between my legs. That's when I noticed he wasn't wearing anything anymore. He lifted one of my legs onto his waist and I took the chance and flipped us over so I was on top. He looked up at me with a surprised look on his face. I smiled before leaning forward and trailing my lips downs his neck. I settled myself between his legs and grabbed hold of his cock making him groan. When I took him deep into my mouth he arched his back and moaned again before he looked down at me. His eyes glowed with his wolf making me moan against him.

"Stop." Liam growled before he pulled me up his body and flipped me onto my back. He bent down and pressed a kiss to my lips before he trailed them to my neck where he had bitten me and swept his tongue across his bite mark making me shudder before he parted my legs with his own and sank into me, "You're mine Megara." He growled in my ear as he began to thrust into me. I arched my back and couldn't help the scream that tore out of me when I came. Liam groaned and thrust harder and faster. My legs wrapped around his waist and I whimpered as I offered him my neck.

I was gasping for air as Liam pounded into me, "Bite me." I whispered softly on a gasp as I felt my own eyes beginning to glow. I was loosing control of my wolf something that had never happened.

"My pleasure." Liam growled making me moan again as he swept his tongue across my bite mark before biting me again in the same exact spot. I moaned and writhed against him as I came again. Liam groaned as he began to cum inside of me. I closed my eyes and sighed when Liam leaned down and pressed a kiss to my lips, "Mine." He whispered softly as he nuzzled my neck before shifting off of me.

I looked over at him before I caressed a hand from his chest to his shoulder. I leaned towards him and rested my head on his chest, "Yours." I whispered softly as he wrapped an arm around me, pulling the blankets up with the other. I snuggled closer to Liam and closed my eyes falling asleep as I felt him shifting so my leg rested around his waist while his leg was between my own.

I opened my eyes when the sun began to pour into the room. I automatically tensed before I relaxed into Liams arms. 'I'm safe.' I think to myself as I look at Liam over my shoulder. His golden eyes open and staring at me. He smiled as he trailed a hand from my thigh up my body until he cupped my cheek in his hand. He leaned forward and pressed a soft kiss to my lips before standing up and stretching.

"Come on." He said as he offered me a hand which I eagerly took. He grabbed a blanket and wrapped it around me, "I don't need my pack looking at my mate." He growled making me blush before he led us to the bathroom. He closed and locked the door behind him as I walked over to the sink and grabbed one the two toothbrushes that was there. This at least I knew how to do.

I brushed my teeth and waited for Liam to brush his own before he walked out and let me use the bathroom. I finished and turned on the shower before getting in. I heard Liam walk in and two minutes later he was right behind me in the shower, "The water's not too hot for you, is it?" I asked him as I turned to look at him.

He growled and pulled me close, "Not at all." He said and nuzzled my neck before pulling back. I looked down at my mating mark and smiled when he traced a fingertip on it. His teeth marks were clearly visible and every time his finger traced it an unexpected lance of pleasure would shoot through me.

"Liam," I whispered looking into his golden eyes that were staring at my mark. I looked down and saw the sparks of electricity as he trailed his fingertips over my skin. Everywhere he touched electricity seemed to follow. I looked back up into his golden eyes and smiled at his lust filled gaze, "Stop staring at me like that." I whispered to him as he bent towards me and captured my lips in a kiss.

******

Grant looked over at me as I walked downstairs, "Nice after glow." He said with a smirk making me blush as I walked over to the refrigerator and grabbed a water bottle which I threw towards the stairs when I heard Liam walking down. I heard the bottle smack into his hand as he caught it and I looked at him over my shoulder.

"Thanks." He said with a smile as he uncapped it and took a long swig out of it before looking at Grant, "Quit teasing my mate." He growled at him before sitting down at the kitchen table across from him.

"The other priestesses are here. They're very anxious to meet Megara." Grant commented as he looked over at me.

I was still rummaging through the refrigerator and saw the look of worry cross Grant and Liam's face, "Where are they?" I asked just as two women walked into the kitchen with Nicola.

"Megara, finally Liam has let you go." She said with a bright smile, "This is my sister, Maggie and my cousin Amara." She said with a grin.

I looked at Maggie she looked like an exact copy of Nicola, "Are you guys twins?" I asked them and watched as they nodded.

"Most people don't really notice." Maggie said with an amazed look on her face.

"Maybe that's because Nicola uses glamour to make it seem like her eyes glow." I commented and watched Maggie frown at me.

"People don't notice that either." She said as her frown disappeared to be replaced with a smile.

I glanced at Amara, she had short blonde hair and big blue eyes. She was staring over at Grant with a half-smile on her face. I smiled because she looked completely infatuated with him and he didn't seem to notice. I let the refrigerator door close before I walked over to him. I hit him over the head to see her reaction and she literally growled at me while Grant just looked over at me, "Hi." I said to her as I took the seat next to Grant. Yeah I was egging her on, but really he was her mate and he was completely clueless.

"Hi." Amara said reluctantly after she scanned my body and noticed my bite mark.

She thought it was Grant's when in actuality it belonged to Liam. I looked at him sitting across from me. I reached out and grabbed his water bottle and drank from it before setting it aside and grabbing hold of Liams hand. I don't know why but I liked watching the electricity that could actually be seen in trails along our skin whenever we touched. Amara glanced at our hands and I could literally see her face glow a bit before she controlled herself.

Liam looked at me before glancing at the women, "So they only sent three?"

"No, we're all here but it's best if she only meets us first." Nicola and Maggie said in unison just how twins would speak.

Liam nodded and looked back at me with a half-smile, "They're going to train you." He said making me frown.

"I don't need training. No offense." I said looking over at them as they sat in random places around the kitchen.

"None taken." Amara said with a smile.

"I already know how to fight." I said looking back at Liam who frowned, "I was forced to do everything, literally, I had no control over my actions even though I could see, hear and feel everything. I knew how to fight and he knew I would unless he used his powers on me. He even told me that the only way his power wouldn't work on me was if I was mated, which he threatened if I ever did become he would kill whoever it was." I said a bit distant.

I could literally see that night. That first night, it had been pouring rain all day and he had beaten me so many times. The rain soaked through my dress, what little of it I'd had left, mud covered everything else along with blood, "You will only ever listen to me." He'd yelled in my face before he punched me full in the face making me fall back into the mud.

I jerked back into my seat before I stood and walked to the windows. Dark clouds began to cover the sky before it began to pour. I wrapped my arms around my waist and shivered. I felt Liam standing behind me before his arms wrapped around my waist and he laid his forehead on the top of my head. I reached up to tuck a piece of my hair behind my ear and that's when I felt the tears on my face. I hadn't even realized I'd been crying. When I looked outside I saw that the rain had stopped and the sun was beginning to come out again.

Liam sighed softly making me close my eyes as I relaxed into his arms. I heard crackles and pops and realized that with Liam holding me so close that the electricity was arching off of us and hitting the window making tiny holes in the glass but not shattering it. I took a deep breath and turned in Liam's arms. I looked up into his eyes and before I could speak I felt a sharp, unbearable pain hit me. I heard glass shattering and shouts as Liam picked me up in his arms and carried me up the stairs. I couldn't keep my eyes open. I must've said it out loud because Liam looked down at me, "You won't die, not again. You won't leave me ever again."

I shuddered in Liams arms before he laid me down on our bed. I closed my eyes and when I opened them again Liam was standing over me covered in blood, "Liam." I whispered as blood ran out of the corner of my mouth. The taste of it, the smell, made me nauseous and I leaned over the bed to throw up. All that came out was blood.

"Megara, I'm not going to let you die." He whispered before he closed his eyes, when he opened them again they glowed an eerie turquoise. His incisors grew and gold saliva poured out of his mouth before he leaned down and bit me where his mark was. I stiffened as I started to feel like I was on fire. It spread down my neck, before it reached my fingertips I was screaming. I arched up off the bed making Liam release me. I screamed again shattering the windows as I started to rapidly shift into my wolf.

"Megara please just try to relax." Liam whispered softly to me. Suddenly my scream changed into a howl. I watched as Liam backed away and stripped his clothes. I wasn't even fazed by his naked body as I growled at him. I watched him through narrowed eyes. His eyes were still a glowing turquoise as he shifted into a massive black wolf. I was still growling as I lowered onto my belly on the bed as he walked forward.

I growled low in my throat as he sat on the bed and looked down at me, 'Are you submitting to me?' He asked me on a growl, as if the very thought of me doing that made him angry.

'Never,' I replied with a growl of my own.

'Then sit up.' He whispered softly and watched me as I sat up and looked him in the eyes.

We stared at each other even when the door was swung open, "Liam." A mans voice said making us both look at him.

Liam shifted into his human form and looked at the man, "Dad?" He said as he continued to stare at the man with his turquoise eyes.

I growled at the man as I stood from the bed and stalked towards him before I felt Liams hands on my fur. I looked over at him and sighed softly, "Shift." He whispered and I felt my body begin to tingle. I shifted into my human form and looked at the man. He looked exactly like Liam except for the eyes. While Liams were a golden color, his had silver flecked all throughout them, "Dad what are you doing here?" He asked him and walked towards him.

I growled at Liams dad when he looked at me wide eyed, "Your mothers downstairs." He said and turned on his heel and walked out of the room.

I looked at Liam and he shrugged grabbing my hand he started to lead me out of the room, "That's my dad Lucas." He said leading me down the stairs.

I scoffed, "Like I couldn't tell." Liam chuckled and pulled me close.

We walked into the kitchen, there was blood everywhere and the windows were completely gone. Standing near the kitchen table was Lucas with a woman, who I assumed was Liam's mother, she was only a couple of inches taller than me and her long dark hair trailed down her back. Her eyes were silver and swirled a bit eerily. I let Liam go in front of me something about his mom made me a bit self conscious. It was like her eyes stared straight into me, read every little thought in my mind and then dove further into me to look at my soul. It was unnerving.

"Mom," Liam said as he walked over to her and pulled her into a hug. I stayed at the base of the stairs, if anything happened I could be up them and into the bedroom, "This is Megara." He said turning towards me and offering a hand to me.

No way to escape now. I walked towards Liams outstretched hand and when his fingers and mine intertwined I felt safer, less jittery, "Hello." His mom said looking at me with a smile on her face.

I smiled back and watched as she took a step towards me, "Hi." I said and shrunk into Liams side when she took another step towards me.

Liams mom laughed softly, "Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you." She said and looked over at her husband before looking back at me, "I could never hurt you." She whispered with a smile, "I'm Lily by the way. Seeing as my son is so rude." She said with a glare at Liam.

Liam looked away from his mother, "Sorry."

She turned away from him, ignoring his apology, "This is my husband Lucas." She said as she sat at the kitchen table.

I looked at the man and smiled when he stood behind Lily's chair and placed a hand on her shoulder, she reached up with her own and their fingers intertwined. Then I saw their fingertips and smiled. Then their names rang some little bell in my mind and I looked at them more closely. It couldn't be them. King and Queen of the Fairy Fields of the West were sitting, well one was sitting, at the kitchen table and Liam had said mom and dad. So that meant... Liam was a prince? I looked over at him my eyes wide and all he did was smile.

"Why are you here?" Liam asked them as I sat at the table in front of Lily.

"Your mother was worried." Lucas said with a half smile making Lily scoff.

"I was not, you were." She said looking up at Lucas with wide eyes.

"Well I didn't want him to know that." Lucas said with a shrug.

Lily rolled her eyes, "Men," She said to me making me smile a bit.

"I wouldn't know." I said and lowered my eyes when Lucas looked over at me.

I could feel Lucas staring at me, "You look familiar." He said making look up at him.

"Did you ever meet the Alpha of the Night Stalkers?" Liam asked Lucas curiously.

"Once, about six years ago. There was an Alpha meeting and... That's where I know you from." He said looking over at me with sad eyes, "You weren't allowed to leave the tent. He said you were his mate but the way you acted." Lucas shook his head, "I knew something was wrong. That night I sent some of my pack to get you so we could speak but he had already left, taking you with him."

I frowned at him, "Why would you want to speak with me?" Another Alpha only ever spoke to me about me pleasing him as I was forced to please my own Alpha. The most disgusting part was that I couldn't even respond to that let alone defend myself from their treatment.

Lucas frowned, "I wanted to know why you never spoke among other things." He said and looked over at Lily, "Lily has been searching every Night Stalker pack for you."

I frowned over at Lily, "I'm nothing special." I whispered making Liam growl and jerk me around in my chair.

"Don't ever say that." He growled in my face making me growl back.

"How did we meet so long ago if you were only born twenty years ago?" I asked him looking him dead in his eyes and watched him look away.

"I'm not from this time and neither is Skye, Grant or Gabriel. We went back in time to save Ai, when that didn't work we searched out every incarnation of her until we learned about you. My history says that you die from the attack we saved you from." He said looking over at his parents, "I'm sorry but I needed to find her."

Lily smiled, "We know. Even know you only speak of a girl named Megara and you're only three in the time we came from." She said softly, "Would you like to meet him?" She asked me with a smile and I couldn't refuse her.

"Of course." I said and stood from the chair when Liam moved away.

"Liam, can you come in here I want you to meet someone." She said and I heard little feet on the hardwood floor before a little boy walked in. His hair was a bit long, but it still was Liam except a miniature version of him.

"Hi." I said when he stopped and stared at me.

He stared at me for so long before saying anything that I thought maybe I'd done something wrong but then his face lit up like it was Christmas and he ran into my arms, "Megara." He said sounding much like Liam that first day I had met him. It made tears come to my eyes, "I love you Megara." He whispered to me and I pulled him away to see that he had a smile on his face as wicked as any I had seen on Liam's face.

"Liam." I whispered feeling so much love for this little kid, I looked over at my

Liam and smiled at him before looking back at the one in my arms. I leaned towards him and whispered, "July 10, 1999. Midnight at the base of the St. Mary Mountains in Montana." I knew he would remember and save me. He had too.

Chapter 5

The room started to shake slightly and then I wasn't standing in the kitchen with 3 year old Liam in my arms but instead I was standing in between my parents. I looked down at myself and almost shrieked in despair. I was wearing a yellow dress with white daisies on them. My parents were talking but I already knew what they were speaking about. I was to go with them to the Alpha's tent. They were supposed to 'talk.'

I half listened to what they were saying as they started walking in front of me. My mom motioned for me to follow her and I did. I walked a couple of feet behind them when I heard someone say, "Psst." I looked around and there was only trees everywhere, "Over here." I heard someone whisper again. I looked around again and that's when I saw the golden eyes of Liam. I sighed in relief and began to slow my steps. My parents were only three feet away when I turned and ran towards Liam. I leaped into his arms and wrapped my legs around his waist.

When I pulled away I looked at him. He was only about twelve or thirteen but he was still Liam. I sighed in his arms and he pulled me close, "I will only ever love you." He whispered in my ear before he pulled back a bit and pressed a kiss to my cheek making me blush, "Come on. My mom and dad are here." He said and pulled me deeper into the trees.

I smiled and followed after him. I could deny him nothing and I knew deep inside he couldn't deny me anything either, "Megara." Lily said as she stepped from behind a tree with four large wolves with her. They were all much larger than all the wolves in my pack and they made Lily seem dainty and small standing next to them, "Lucas and I are going to go talk to your Alpha while Liam takes you to the house." She said and started walking towards the Alpha's tent that could be seen through the trees in the distance.

Liam looked at me and even now he was much taller and larger than I was, "Sorry I took so long." He said and started leading me through the trees and before I knew it we were on a road.

"You came just at the right time." I said as he held onto my hand.

"You know that our future has changed now." He whispered as we headed towards a limo.

I nodded and gave our hands a little swing, "I still remember though and trust me I will never forget it." I whispered looking up at him.

Liam smiled and opened the door to the limo, "This time we don't have to wait that long maybe until you're sixteen or something." He said making me laugh as a slight blush went up his cheeks.

I got into the limo and waited until Liam had closed the door before sliding closer to him and laying my head on his shoulder, "Four more years." I whispered before looking at him. Before I could chicken out, even though I remembered everything from before. This body still hadn't had it's first kiss or it's first anything for that matter and I wanted my first kiss to be with Liam. I wanted him to be my first everything. When I leaned into him, he stiffened a bit.

He looked into my eyes and I gave him a smile before I pressed my lips to his. He sighed and wrapped his arms around me and kissed me back before he pulled back, "Your first kiss." He whispered before he leaned in and gave me a peck on the lips, "Mine too." He said and leaned forward to nuzzle my neck, "I will mark you the only way I can right now." He said and leaned forward and sucked on my neck before he nibbled softly. I had stiffened in his arms a bit but relaxed. This was Liam, my mate.

We were still wrapped around each other when the door opened again. I heard someone clear their throat and we broke apart like the pre-teens we were. I looked over at Lucas and Liam and smiled at them before shifting to the side and resting my head back on Liam's shoulder, "Megara, you're going to be staying with us." Lucas said and closed the door after Lily. As soon as the door was closed the limo started moving away from my past and moving towards my future.

"Liam will swear his allegiance to you when he turns thirteen." Lily said as she settled into the seat next to Lucas.

I looked up at Liam and smiled, "You should relax, it'll be awhile before we get there." He whispered to me before pressing a kiss to my forehead.

I must've fallen asleep because when I opened my eyes the limo was starting to turn into a driveway lined by a large brick wall. When the limo came to a stop the door was opened and there stood Skye, Grant and Gabriel with large smiles on their faces, "Megara!" Skye said excitedly as I got out of the limo.

"Skye." I said with a smile and gave him a hug and kiss on his cheek.

"How does it feel not to have those memories from before?" Grant asked me with a slight smile. He had to be about fourteen.

"How old are you guys?" I asked them curiously as Liam grabbed my hand and started leading me into the large stone castle.

"I'm fifteen," Grant said with a shrug, "Yeah I know I'm short. Skye's only twelve, Gabriel is fourteen and Liam is twelve he'll be thirteen in a couple of days."

I smiled over at Liam as we started up a large spiral staircase, "Then you'll be all mine." I whispered to him making him blush. I was completely fascinated by it. Older Liam hadn't blushed as much as this Liam.

"I'm going to start calling Liam tomato." Skye said on a laugh as he saw Liam's face.

"Shut up." Liam said with a large grin on his face and shoved Skye who slipped in the landing and fell to his ass.

"Thanks a lot Liam." He said with a frown on his face, "I think I sat in pee." When he stood there was a big wet spot on his ass making everyone laugh. Grant and Gabriel pointed at his butt and collapsed onto the floor laughing. Skye frowned and made a disgusted face, "That's just gross." He said making an eww face before taking off down a hallway that I guessed led to his room.

Liam shook his head and grabbed my hand, "Your room is this way." He said and led me down the opposite hall and towards a door at the end of the it. He opened the door and gestured for me to walk in ahead of him.

Liam smiled and gestured up the stairs and that went up in a spiral and I headed up them, excited to see my room. When we reached the top there was another door before he opened it he looked over at me before covering my eyes with his hand and opening the door. We took a couple of steps into the room before he took his hand off my eyes. I know my eyes widened in surprise, the room was in a circle like I was inside a tower. I walked over to the nearest window and looked out. I was in a tower. I looked back at the room and saw a large four poster bed, with wispy curtains all in white. There was a phone on a turquoise nightstand. On the ceiling in the middle of the room there was a huge crystal chandelier. A dresser with a large golden mirror was in a corner and on the other side of the room were three doors. What did I need three doors for?

I walked over to one of the doors and opened it, a walk-in closet. I opened the door next to that one and it was just a large ass bathroom. I frowned, so what's the third door for? I opened it and walked into another room set up almost like mine but more boyish, "Liam is this your room?" I asked him looking back at him and when he nodded I couldn't help the smile that lit up my face, "You won't be using your bed. Our future may not have happened but I would feel weird sleeping alone." I said walking back over to him, "It's weird knowing exactly what your going to look like in eight years."

"I know how you feel," He whispered before brushing my hair off of my face, "Are you going to cut your hair?"

I looked up at him and shook my head, "No way." I said and flicked my hair behind my back and leaned into him, "I'm hungry." I said and rubbed my forehead on his chest before he stepped back and looked into my eyes and frowned.

"Megara are you okay?" He asked me as he brushed a hand against my forehead.

"Yeah just hungry." I said with a smile. Liam cocked his head to the side before smiling and taking my hand in his.

"I'll show you the way to the kitchens." He said and started back down the stairs. When we reached the main floor there was a little girl standing there. She couldn't have been any more than six and she was looking at me with such big eyes. Why did her eyes remind me of Nicola, "Nicola come on we're going to go eat something." He said to her confirming what I'd been thinking.

That little girl was really Nicola, I looked over my shoulder at her and smiled. Her eyes widened before she smiled back at me and gave a little wave as she followed after us. When we walked into the kitchen Skye was digging through the refrigerator, Grant was sitting at the table shuffling a deck of cards while Gabriel sat in front of him watching his hands. Grant looked over at me and Liam and smiled, "Your mom baked some cookies but I don't know if we should we eat them. She threw one at your dad and I swear it thunked."

Liam laughed, "I think we'll stay away from those." He said as I walked over to the refrigerator.

I peered inside over Skye's shoulder, "Pass me the lemonade." I said patting him on his shoulder. He looked at me with a smile before handing me the lemonade. I rolled my eyes and started looking through the cabinets for a glass while Liam watched me as he leaned against the doorway, "So what do you do around here for fun?" I asked them as I poured myself some lemonade and sat at the table next to Grant.

Grant smiled at me, "We could go to the beach." He said before looking over at Liam, "That's if your mom lets us go."

Liam shrugged, "It's only down the road. She won't say no." He said as Lily walked in and nudged him out of the doorway.

"You guys need to get out of the house." She said as she stared at us. Skye looked like he was going to die of boredom and Gabriel was staring off into space. Liam was staring at me, much like he had been doing since I first met him, "Let's pack up some stuff and lets get out of here." Lily said with a smile as she picked up Nicola in her arms and walked out of the room.

Liam smiled at me as Skye, Grant and Gabriel erupted into cheers, "Beach house." Liam explained when they had run out of the room.

"I've never been to the beach." I said and smiled when Liam motioned for me to follow him out of the room.

"Mom will want us packed in ten minutes." Liam said as he rushed up the stairs in front of me.

I took a deep breath at the top of the stairs and looked over at Liam as he started down the hall, "You're fast." I said when I caught up to him in front of my bedroom door. He merely smiled and opened the door to my room.

"The clothes you'll need is in the dresser. I'll be right back." He said and walked into his room.

I looked around the room before walking into the closet. In the corner of the closet there was a suitcase. I dragged it out and started to throw clothes inside of it. When Liam walked back in I was trying, very unsuccessfully, to close the suitcase. He started to laugh and I looked over at him before sticking my tongue out at him and, finally, closed the suitcase, "I'm ready." I said and watched as he grabbed my suitcase and started out the door.

"Come on," He said with a grin and I followed him down the stairs, "Mom is already honking the horn." He said shaking his head.

When we walked outside I saw Lily sitting inside a jeep with Lucas sitting next to her, in the backseat sat Nicola. In another jeep there was a man with a woman and Grant was in the backseat having a shoving match with Gabriel. Skye was just starting to get in the car Lily was going to drive when Liam walked over and helped me in. I looked at Skye and smiled before scooting over so Liam could sit next to me.

Liam smiled at me and I leaned my head on his shoulder, this summer was going to be great.

Chapter 6

5 Years Later

"Come on Liam, we're going to be late." I said to him as he took his time in the bathroom. Today is my seventeenth birthday and Lily along with Lucas and the rest of the family was throwing a ball. More like a coming out party for her and Liam was being difficult.

"They can wait." He said as he walked into the room wearing a tux. He looked almost like the Liam I remembered from our lost future. He walked over to me and pulled me into his arms, "You look beautiful." He said to me as he stared at the dress I wore. It was a gold colored ball gown.

"Your mom isn't going to wait much longer." I whispered to him looking up into his golden eyes.

Liam smiled before pressing a kiss to my lips, "I wanted to ask you something before we went downstairs." He said over his shoulder as he went over to the night stand and dug inside before walking back over to me.

I smiled at him and then began to panic a bit when he went down on one knee and grabbed hold of my left hand. He looked up at me with a soft smile, "Megara, I was born loving you and I will die loving you. Will you marry me and make me the happiest man on Earth." He said to me. I looked into his eyes and saw how sincere he was.

My eyes filled with tears and I nodded, "Of course." I whispered and watched as he slipped a large solitaire diamond onto my ring finger.

"Now you'll always be mine." He said as he pulled me into his arms.

As his lips lowered to mines I whispered, "I was always yours." Liam growled softly before pressing his lips to mine.

"Come on you two, everybody is waiting." Skye said as he walked into the room. I smiled at him before grabbing hold of Liams hand and leading him out the door with Skye right behind us.

Lily was waiting at the bottom of the stairs with Lucas, she smiled up at Liam and me as we made our way down the stairs, "You look beautiful Megara." She said making me smile at her. When I stood in front of her she smiled and looked over at her aunt as she walked over and handed her a crown similar to the one Lucas was now placing on Liam's head, "This is yours." She said and slipped the crown on my head.

Liam looked over at me and winked making me blush, "Stop." I whispered to him as he grabbed my left hand and kissed the top of it.

"Now my lady as my betrothed I must say that I will be touching you every chance I get." He said with another wink. I rolled my eyes at him as Lily and Lucas led us into the large ballroom, "Mom and dad said for us to sit here." He said and gestured for me to sit in the throne next to his.

I took a deep breath as I looked over at him before sitting down on the throne. My feet dangled a bit. I looked over at Lily and noticed that her feet didn't touch the ground either, "It's weird sitting up here," I whispered to Liam who merely smiled and reached for my hand.

"I know, the first time I sat up here I felt like every eye was on me." He said and laughed as my eyes widened and I looked around. Sure enough I felt like everybody was staring at me, "It's okay. It'll be over in a couple minutes." He said and looked over at Lily who merely smiled and tilted her head towards the door, "Come on." He said and stood and led me back out of the ballroom.

"Where are we going?" I asked him as he led me upstairs to where our old bedrooms were.

"It's a surprise." He said with a grin and opened the door that led to the spiral staircase except now instead of it being a small room with only stairs it had a fireplace with a couch set in front of it. Off to the right there was a set a stairs, Liam motioned me over and we began walking up the stairs, at the landing he picked me up in his arms bridal style and walked into my old bedroom. Except now it seemed larger. I looked into Liams eyes and smiled.

"So was this your surprise?" I whispered as I gave him a soft kiss. Liam nodded shyly before laying me down on the large bed that now dominated the room, "I love you Liam." I whispered to him as I watched his eyes dilate and begin to glow as he started to loose control of his wolf.

Lately he'd been running away from me whenever he began loosing control. When he tried to get up off the bed I growled at him and pulled him closer, "You're not going anywhere." I growled. I looked into his eyes as they glowed even more in the slight darkness. He smiled at me and I saw his incisors, "I want to be yours Liam and only yours." I whispered to him.

Liam growled and pinned me to the bed, "Are you sure?" He growled at me. I looked up at him and nodded even though I knew it wasn't really a question. I tilted my head and exposed my neck to him. That was all the encouragement he needed. Liam leaned over me and bit me. When his teeth pierced my skin my own burst out of my gums and I bit him on his shoulder. He groaned and I heard fabric ripping. I looked up at Liam and saw that he was naked and then I felt a cold breeze and looked down at myself for a quick second.

I moaned when he leaned down and swiped his tongue over the mate mark. He grinned a wolfish grin at me before he shifted his weight and took one of my nipples into his mouth and sucked. I arched into his mouth unable to do much more. When I looked over at our shadows on the wall I could clearly see us moving at a much rapid pace, "You're mine." He growled in my ear as he slipped inside of me.

I gasped at the brief flash of pain that radiated through me. Liam looked down at me before sinking further inside of me. This time I gasped at the pleasure and pulled him closer as I wrapped my legs around his waist, "I was always yours Liam." I whispered in his ear. Liam growled before biting me again before he looked over at the wall were our shadows were moving at a near inhuman speed. I groaned as I felt a hand trail up my thigh but Liam hadn't moved.

Liam arched his back and let out a howl as four red streaks appeared on his shoulder. I moaned and writhed underneath him the pleasure to intense for me to form a thought in my head that made any sense. He leaned down and kissed me as I orgasmed just from his touch. Liam shuddered before he collapsed on top of me with a sigh.

Chapter 7

When I opened my eyes the next morning the sun was streaming in through the open curtains that fluttered in the wind. I felt Liam tug me closer to him and I smiled to myself before looking over my shoulder at him. I looked at my hand and saw on my fingertips the same markings Lily and Lucas had on theirs. I looked at Liam's fingertips and saw his matched my own. I couldn't help the smile that formed on my lips. I loved Liam with all of my heart, soul and mind.

I felt safe in his arms. Even after five years of sleeping next to him I still wasn't used to the fact that he was still there whenever I opened my eyes. I cuddled closer to him and pressed a kiss to his bare chest and heard him groan, "I need sleep." He said opening one eye to look down at me.

I giggled before resting my chin on his chest, "I love you." I sighed softly to him and watched his eyes widen with pleasure as they always did whenever I told him.

"I love you too." He replied with a sigh as he stroked a hand up and down my arm.

"The lovebirds." Skye said in an annoying voice as he walked into the room and nonchalantly sat down at the end of the bed.

"Damn it Skye. What the fuck." Liam said pushing his cousin off the bed.

I couldn't help the laugh that bubbled out as Skye peered up at us from the floor with a fake hurt look on his face, "Your mom sent me up here. Did you really think I would walk up all those stairs if it wasn't important?" He said standing up from the floor and brushed his clothes off.

I frowned at him as I took in the suit he had on, "Why are you dressed like a penguin?"

"Like I said it's important." He said and walked back out not even cracking a smile like he usual would have.

Liam rolled his eyes before he got up and walked to the closet, "Come on." He said with a smile holding out a hand for me.

I smiled and walked over to him but instead of taking his hand I launched myself into his arms and held on as he chuckled before walking into the closet.

*****

An hour later we walked downstairs, "Liam your mom is becoming a total bridezilla and she's not even the one getting married." Grant said as he walked by the stairs on his way to the kitchen.

I frowned before looking up at Liam, "I really don't want anything big and extravagant." I said to him as I followed behind Grant and into the kitchen. I froze in the doorway as I saw Lily sitting at the table with tons of books in front of her, her planner and a phone while her assistant sat in front of her with a cup of coffee with a worried look on her face. I turned and pushed Liam out of the kitchen and pulled him into the front yard, "Let's go to Vegas." I said looking into his golden eyes and watched with a bit of annoyance as amusement filled them.

"You serious?" He asked me cocking his head to the side and staring down at me.

I look over my shoulder at the open front door where Lily's voice traveled out before looking back at Liam, "Absolutely." I said with a nod and yelped in surprise as he picked me up in his arms and swung me around in a circle.

"What's going on?" Gabriel asked as he came out the front door and stared at us like we'd gone crazy.

"Get the car, Skye and Grant." Liam said looking over at Gabriel before swinging me in a circle again.

I laughed and wrapped my arms around him, "Get Nicola too." I said when Liam had finally set me on my feet.

"Okay..." Gabriel said with a frown before turning on his heel and walking inside. A couple minutes later we heard the car pull up in the drive way, "Come on slowpokes." Gabriel said honking the horn.

I laughed and took off towards the car with Liam right behind me, "Hey." I said breathlessly as I got in the passengers seat and Liam took the drivers seat as Gabriel moved into the back.

"Hey." Nicola said with a smile before asking, "Where are we going?"

I looked at Liam and saw the grin plastered on his face, "We're doing something spontaneous." He said and laughed.

Grant frowned, "Whatever, here's your cell." He said handing Liam his phone which he automatically opened and dialed a number, "Hi I need six tickets to Las Vegas." He said making Nicola, Grant, Gabriel and Skye's mouths drop open. We listened as he rattled off his credit card number before hanging up, "They'll be at the counter." He said before looking in the rear view mirror, "You can close your mouths now."

"Why are we going to Vegas?" Grant asked looking between Liam and me.

I looked at them and smiled, "Why do you think?"

Nicola shrugged, "Are you guys getting married?" She asked with a smile as she looked into my face before nodding in understanding, "It's something you would do." She said looking at me with a knowing look on her face.

"Wait. Seriously?" Skye asked with a large grin on his face and when I nodded he cheered, "Yes!"

I laughed at his excitement and honestly I was excited my self. Lily and Lucas couldn't stop us from doing this.
 

 

Epilogue

24 Hours Later

I woke up in the Honeymoon Suite of the Luxor. I looked over my shoulder and stared into Liam's golden eyes, "Hello Mrs. Bodreaux." He whispered in my ear making me giggle.

"We're really married." I squealed rolling on top of him with a large smile on my face.

Liam laughed and wrapped his arms around me, "Now you really can't get rid of me." He said jokingly.

"Like I would want to." I replied and kissed him as the door to the room burst open and Skye walked in.

"You know this is becoming a habit." He said as he sat at the end of the bed, "Megara there's a chick in the other room."

I cocked my head to the side and frowned before I got up and wrapped a sheet around me. I walked into the room and squealed with excitement, "Hammie." I said and ran into my best friends arms.

Her long dark hair cascaded around her and her green eyes lit with happiness, "Eggie." She said calling me by my nick-name, "I'm moving back in with my parents." She whispered softly making me frown.

I had a bad feeling about it, "Are you sure you want to do this?" I asked her softly. I was being selfish I didn't want her to go but I had feeling deep inside that she had to go. She would be back. I looked over when Skye walked in. I noticed she looked over at him before looking away when he paid her no mind.

"I should go." She said softly and gave me a hug before leaving out the door.

"What's wrong?" Skye asked me and I shook my head.

"Nothing." I replied as I closed my eyes and saw Skye and Dawn walking hand in hand in the gardens of the castle. Seven years, I had seven years to get her back and I would if it was the last thing I did. She would suffer I could feel that maybe Skye could help her. Putting that to the back of my mind I turned and walked back into the bedroom and into my husbands waiting arms.

6 Months Later

I looked into the mirror and saw someone I barely recognized. I had on a large white wedding dress that had a plunging back. My veil covered my face and trailed onto the floor behind me. On my head a sparkling crown of diamonds and sapphires. I had read in the books of the small library that a woman marrying a prince never wore a crown before saying 'I do' but Lily had walked in and placed it on my head. My glass slippers sparkled as I turned towards the door and saw Lucas, "Are you ready?" He asked me as he offered a hand.

I took a deep breath and walked over to him, my dress making swishing noises, "As ready as I'll ever be." I said and placed my hand in his.

When Liam and I, with everyone else, had gotten back from Vegas Lily had told us that we would still have to be married in an over the top wedding. Yes we were married but we had to go through it all again with a lot more people. I took a deep breath as we walked towards the ballroom doors. Slowly the doors opened everyone stood as the wedding march began to play. I closed my eyes for a brief second and when I opened them I saw Liam waiting for me at the end of the isle.

He was dressed in full regalia. He had a sword at his side, he stared at me with love in his eyes. I couldn't help the smile that came to my face. When I reached Liam I let go of Lucas's hand so fast and placed it in Liams that Lucas chuckled before taking his seat. I didn't hear the priest say the words that would bind us together again all I remember saying was, "I do." Before Liam pulled me into his arms and kissed me. I wrapped my arms around him. I never wanted to let go, "I love you." I whispered against his lips before he pulled me close again. Yeah I was definitely never letting him go and I knew he was never going to let me go.
