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.
