HAZELAs the sun pours into the bedroom, I lie on our bed thinking. Ramon's hand is sprawled out over my back and my leg is hanging over his hip. The sound of his steady breathing lets me know that he has yet to wake up.A week from now, I won't just be his. Instead, I'll be the Pack's. The Pack members will depend on me like I'm their mother- and they are my children. More of my time will be taken from Ramon, and replaced with duties.I will be the Luna...his Luna. I'll be expected to do things I've never even been able to do in a group project. Lead. The thought alone terrifies me, because I am no leader. I'm a follower.Ramon buries his head into my neck and inhales deeply. "Good morning, beautiful." He murmurs. I shut my eyes and can't help but smile at what he has said.His hand trails down and gently plays with the hem of my panty line. "Your family talks a lot." He mumbles into my skin. "I'm sure they won't be awake for another hour or two." He presses a kiss against my cheek

HAZELMy heart stops in my chest the moment I wake up to a heavy body landing on top of mine. A quick memory of being taken flickers into my mind, but it quickly fades at the familiar sound of my best friend's voice."Hazeeeeeeel!" She exclaims loudly. I tiredly move and exhale softly. Trying my best to push her off of me, I fail."Get your fat ass off my chest, Bertha," I wheeze, and I hear the laugh that reminds me of wheezy from Dragon Tales. She climbs off my body and sits cross-legged on the bed, waiting for me to get up."Goodness," I rub my head tiredly, "what time is it?" I groan. I was up most of the night wide awake. My stomach aches, and my body feels raw because someone decided that last night would be a good night to get all of his anger and stress out."It's one in the afternoon," she winks. Tiredly I wipe the sleep from my eyes and inhale deeply. My best friend eyes me up and down and I know she knows what Ramon and I did hours ago. Yet, she doesn't mention it."What's

HAZELI wake up to the gentle sound of the water beating against the shower floor. My hand mindlessly stretches and I feel that Ramon is missing from his side of the messy bed. The spot where he had fallen asleep is still warm, and so are the memories of only hours before.Sitting up in the large bed, I glance out the sliding glass doors and take in the view. The room overlooks the ocean, and the waves crashing is enough to put even an insomniac to sleep. A tired smile grows on my lips, because everything is so beautiful.I have spent two years with Ramon, and it's been the best years of my life. He is the one. The moon goddess did me right on him. I'm so grateful to have a man like him in my life.'Come shower with me, stinky.' Ramon calls for me through the mind link we share. I roll my eyes and let a smile grow on my face. Although he can't see it, I'm sure he knows that he put one there.I don't argue against the idea, although I do relax in the sunrise for a while longer. Ramon t

RAMONAnger, worry and confusion....every single emotion in between consumes me. My body goes numb from the words Philip Amos had just spoken on the phone.My eyes fall to Bertha's, sitting across from me and giving me a just-as-worried look. It falls quiet. Too quiet."Sir-" Philip says through the phone, trying his best to regain my attention. Bertha and I make silent eye contact, and she takes that moment to leave without another word.I'm frozen in my place. Unable to make a sound. I must have heard him wrong. There's no way this could have happened. Not to Hazel. She doesn't deserve something like this.Why is the moon goddess so cruel? Why can't she give us a break? I clench my jaw and squeeze the phone tighter in my grasp."Don't." I snap into the microphone. "We will be there in a few hours, Philip. Thank you." My voice is harsh, as I try to collect my thoughts.Instead of ending the phone call like any normal man, my anger gets the best of me and the phone turns into parts in

HAZELI stand where he was initially standing and breathe deeply. The woods remind me of the day I was with Trevor, the day I met Ramon. It's borders are marked with his scent and patrolled by many faithful Pack members. Beyond that is a dangerous place and that's exactly where Ramon was looking. I hope that what ever he was thinking about, he doesn't decide to go towards the hidden dangers."Baby," Ramon calls from the doorway, tearing me from my train of thought. I turn to face him and hum in response. His breath taking body is exposed, only covered by a pair of boxers. The tattoo on his chest rises and falls with every deep breath he takes.He nods his head, signaling for me to come inside. Without a word, I step inside and he locks the door behind me. Quietly, he moves the curtains to hide the sun for tomorrow morning and disappears into the bathroom."Come here, I've missed cuddling with you." I say when he comes back from the bathroom. He gives me a playful smile, his lack of sl
