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.
