Indianna looked out of the window as Greyson's car drove deeper and deeper into the woods. Dark figures whizzed in between the trees with incredible speed and Indianna gasped.
"Don't worry," Greyson said, not taking his eyes of the road. "They're just pack members."
"They're wolves?" She whispered.
"Yes."
"They're huge!"
"They're border patrols, they can't exactly be tiny, what use will they be defending the pack from rogues?"
Indianna shrugged her shoulders. "How big are you when you're a wolf?"
"Big."
"Thanks, Greyson, that helps," Indianna said sarcastically.
"I'll show you later," he said and the trees soon thinned out to reveal Greyson's large house.
"Do all of the pack live here?" Indianna wondered.
"Not everyone. Most families stay in town, it's mostly teenagers who stay here. However, everyone comes to the pack house even if they don't live here, it's a communal area."
Indianna nodded and Greyson parked the car. "What about my things?"
"Someone will bring them over later," Greyson shrugged and opened the car door. He climbed out and walked round to Indianna's door, holding it open for her. "Come on, sugar, we haven't got all day," he chuckled and Indianna made sure to slowly exit the car. Greyson sighed and shook his head, shutting the door once Indianna was out of the car. "We need to go see Doc."
Indianna paused and raised her eyebrow. "Need? Are you sure?"
"Positive."
"I don't think we do—"
"Shut up, sugar, and let's go."
"You go, I'll just chill here." Indianna took a step backwards and Greyson chuckled, grabbing her wrist and pulling her into his chest.
"No needles," he said into her ear. "I promise."
"I don't want to go," she said.
"You have to."
"Make me."
"Think about what you just said, Indie," Greyson whispered, sliding his hands down to her ass. He lowered his head and grazed Indianna's lip with his teeth. The tingles shot through her like electricity and she bit her lip, looking up into Greyson's dark eyes.
"No needles and no weird werewolf crap," Indianna warned, gulping as she moved Greyson's hands away from her ass.
"Please elaborate on what you mean by 'werewolf crap,' sugar," Greyson said and Indianna glared at him, walking past him and into the house. She knew the way to the infirmary by now and didn't need Greyson to lead the way.
"Indianna," Doc greeted. "Lovely to see you. How are you feeling?"
"Fine."
"The second stage has started," Greyson said, walking in behind Indianna and leaning against the door. "I think. Her senses are developing."
"What has happened?" Doc asked.
"Increased strength and speed."
Indianna looked between the two of them as they spoke and suddenly she saw a blur flying towards her. Her hand shot out immediately and caught the object before it hit her in the face. "What the hell!" She exclaimed, looking at the cricket ball in her hand and then to Greyson who was smirking slightly. "That could have hit me in the face! Do you know how heavy these are!" She threw the ball back with incredible speed and strength, but Greyson caught it easily.
"See," Greyson said, putting the ball on the side and looking at Doc.
"I see," he nodded. "Oh and please refrain from smashing up my infirmary."
"Doc, your equipment is freaking expensive. I won't smash it, unless you do something that doesn't help my mate," Greyson said and shrugged.
Doc wasn't affected by the comment. He gestured for Indianna to sit on the bed and she did so cautiously. Doc carried out routine checks while Indianna squirmed uncomfortably.
She had a feeling she would never get used to Doctors.
"Well," Doc said, gaining the attention of Greyson who had grown bored and resulted to scanning the glass cabinets that were full of different types of medicines, "there's not much I can do for Indianna."
"Huh?" Indianna said.
"You are perfectly fine, minus the fact that you are experiencing heightened senses."
"Oh."
"Great," Greyson nodded.
"All you can do is keep an eye on her around the humans until she learns to control her developing senses," Doc said and turned to Indianna. "You'll find it hard at first to control, especially speed and strength, but with time you'll learn."
Indianna nodded and pushed herself off of the bed. "Thanks. Can I go?"
"Yes, whenever you're ready," Doc nodded.
"Cheers, Doc," Greyson said and opened the infirmary door for Indianna. He placed his hand on the small of her back as they walked out and she shivered at the tingles. "I have to go to a meeting soon, but I won't be long," he informed Indianna as they made their way through the pack house that was starting to get busy.
"Okay," Indianna nodded. She edged closer to Greyson when she felt many curious eyes on her and he wrapped an arm round her waist, holding her into his chest. The sparks and tingles soothed her growing nerves and Greyson smirked.
"Shy?" He teased and Indianna elbowed him.
"Shut up," she muttered. 'There's a lot of people, I don't like it.'
Greyson's gaze snapped to Indianna. "I wasn't in your head."
Indianna frowned at Greyson and nodded slowly. "What are you talking about?"
'You just spoke in my head, sugar,' Greyson said as they made their way up a large set of stairs.
"I didn't," Indianna frowned.
"Yes you did, and I wasn't in your head to begin with. You said 'there's a lot of people, I don't like it'," Greyson said.
"I said that out loud," Indianna said. "Not in my head."
"You said it through mind link, sugar," Greyson said. "It must be your senses developing. You're slowly beginning to turn into a werewolf and once you're a werewolf you'll be able to speak to me in my head whenever you want. I bet that's what happened when you saw through my eyes earlier—you couldn't control it."
Indianna frowned and looked at Greyson. "You don't want me learning how to block you, so I won't. Can you teach me how to get into your head? I don't like how it's one sided."
"You aren't going to be able to fully do it until you've shifted, but I'm pretty sure you'll be able to half do it," Greyson said, stopping outside of a door. "I'll teach you when we get time." He opened the door and Indianna recognised the interior as his room.
"I'm not sharing this room with you, am I?" She asked hurriedly as she walked in, not wanting to share a bed with Greyson.
"Could you sound more eager?" Greyson said sarcastically and rolled his eyes. "Kirstie is sorting out one of the guest rooms for you, it's across the hall but not ready just yet."
Indianna nodded and sat down on Greyson's bed. She looked down at her hands and fiddled with the rings on her fingers.
"Hey." Greyson's hands covered hers and she looked up into his dark eyes. 'Don't be scared, sugar.'
"I'm not scared—"
"Don't lie."
"…I'm terrified," Indianna admitted and subconsciously she linked her fingers with Greyson's. "Rogue... Killed my father and now he's stalking me."
"He isn't going to hurt you, I won't let him," Greyson said through gritted teeth. "Sugar, you're my mate and part of this pack. You're the Luna, you have the protection of every member of my pack. Our pack." Indianna took a deep breath and nodded. "Indie," Greyson whispered, placing his fingers under chin and tilting her head so she was looking at him.
She forced a smile and nodded again. "I trust you," she said softly.
The corners of Greyson's mouth twitched and he quickly pecked Indianna on the lips. "I have to go to a meeting. Will you be alright here by yourself?"
Indianna nodded. "I'll be fine. Go."
"I won't be long," Greyson said, standing up and walking out of the room.
Indianna sighed and looked around Greyson's room. Her eyes landed on a picture on his desk and she walked over to it, picking up the wooden frame. It was obviously taken years ago as Greyson looked much younger. It was of him, Kirstie and two people that Indianna guessed were his parents. He wasn't smiling, he had his usual smirk on his face and his father had his hand on his shoulders.
"He was 11." Indianna gasped in surprise and span round to see Kal standing in the doorway. "Sorry," he said with a grin. "Greyson and Ace are in a meeting with some other pack members so I thought I'd come and tell you about the pack."
"Um... Okay?"
"You're the Luna," Kal said, "I'm the Delta, you're going to see a lot of me, Indianna," he laughed. "I wonder how long it's going to take me to crack open that shell of yours. Greyson done it and he's a miserable git."
Indianna smiled slightly and sat back down on Greyson's bed. Suddenly, she could smell him everywhere. His scent was intoxicating. It created butterflies in her stomach and sparks danced around her body. She took a deep breath and was snapped back to reality by Kal's voice.
"You look like you're going to have an orgasm," he said bluntly and Indianna's eyes widened.
"W-What!"
