When I woke up later the sun was shining in the window. Stretching, I reached out to the other side of the bed but found only an empty space. Before I could call for Adam I heard noises in the kitchen. Grinning, I got up, grabbing Adams t-shirt off the floor and pulling it on. I walked through the apartment to the small kitchen off the living room only to see Adam standing in front of the stove cooking French toast, God it smells delicious. Seeing someone that big in a kitchen that small was a funny sight and I let out a little giggle. I stood watching Adams jean clad butt as he wandered around the kitchen oblivious to my attentions.
"Two pieces okay?"
Okay maybe not so oblivious.
"Yes, please."
Adam set a plate down in front of me as we both sat down at the table. I was starving after the marathon of sex earlier and dug in immediately. As I was eating I looked up to see Adam watching me.
"Keep staring like that and you might give a girl the wrong idea" I said teasingly.
Adams face turned red "Jamie we need to talk, there's some really important things you need to know now that... well now that I bit you."
I pushed my plate away, finished. "I'm all ears."
Adam cleared his throat "Well, you've been bitten and now you're going to become a werewolf. Your first turn will be at the full moon in three weeks. Now the symbol on your shoulder sets you apart. Any werewolf, born or bitten, has a crescent moon mark except for me. I was born with a full moon mark and nobody really knows why. Legend says that there was one before me that had the mark and he was the most powerful Alpha the Were world has ever seen. Because of this they have been grooming me since birth to take over my father's pack..."
My mind was running a mile a minute.
"I'm still confused though, why did you bite me and why do I have this mysterious mark too?"
"Well there's usually only two reasons a werewolf turns a human, the first being a rogue werewolf will often attack humans and accidentally turn them in the process and the second being werewolves who have found human mates."
This was just confusing me more "What do you mean by mating and are we mated now...?"
"Well the wolf inside me is almost like a separate part of me, he thinks differently than the human side of me, running purely on instinct. Supposedly our wolves are supposed to be able to recognise someone who will be the perfect match for them based on their scent alone. Now these days most people just do it the old fashioned way and date one another to make sure their human sides get along and usually that means the wolves will too. As for whether we are mated now, I don't think so. I'm not really sure what my wolf was thinking when it bit you... I'm mated to Luna..."
"Wait... YOU'RE MARRIED?!?!?!?!?!"

Standing outside of Jamie's apartment building I could see they were up and moving again. About time... It was disgusting, sitting out here, listening to him ruin her perfect body. Her body needs to be perfect for the ceremony to work. I've waited 15 years to see my Lilly again, I can't wait any longer. I walked away from the building for the time being. There are some things I need before I can bring Jamie to me so that we can perform the ceremony. As I was walking I remembered the day I stumbled upon Jamie. It was pure luck that I happened to be walking by the university campus only to see her standing in front of one of the buildings talking to some classmates. She was wearing a black dress that offset the color of her hair, making it look like fire hanging down her back. That was what caught my attention at first, so close to my Lilly's... but it was her face that kept my attention. Other than her bright green eyes she could have passed for Lilly's twin... I was enthralled. I had been searching for years to find the perfect host and now I finally had.
After picking up the things I needed to ease Jamie's transition I headed back to my house. Once I entered my small home, I went straight to the bedroom. Moving the rug back with practiced ease, to open up the trap door that led down to a large windowless room. In the center stood a table propped up vertically and in front of it, on her pedestal, were Lilly's remains. Finally everything was ready for Jamie and all I had left to do was devise a plan to bring her to me while avoiding that stupid mutt.
