Theo let go of a hefty sigh as soon as they crossed onto his territory. He finally had Candy safe and sound, "It's been a long day," Theo wrapped an arm around Candy's shoulders, "straight to bed for us." Candy replied with a loud yawn and Theo just chuckled.
They walked in a comfortable silence to Theo's home. They had stopped at a human village on the way, visiting a small restaurant to get dinner, so they could go straight to bed. "Yes, Alpha," she giggled at him and he gently nudged her side.
"I thought I said no statuses?" Theo chuckled as he opened the door.
"You say a lot of things, to a lot of people," Candy winked as she stepped into the house, "What happened here?" She gasped as she looked at the chaotic arrangement of furniture. Chairs on their sides; the table in two pieces.
"Nothing..." Theo trailed off as he casually led them upstairs. They stopped in front of Candy's room and Theo pulled Candy towards him – pecking her on the lips, "Good night," he started to release her but noticed the bruising on her forehead. How could I have missed all this? He thought as he saw the various wounds. "Who did this?"
"My father," she bit her lip.
"I'm sorry," He looked at her with such pain Candy couldn't understand, "I wasn't there to protect you."
"It's okay,"
"No, it's not. I said you were safe from him here!"
"But I wasn't here, though, was I? So you are not to blame," she smiled and pecked him before entering her room, "Good night."
"Good night," He smiled as she closed the door. Candy instantly got ready for bed and flopped onto the cosy mattress, tucking herself under the duvet. Sleep consumed her instantly.
Candy looked around her. She was in a room of mirrors, but there were no reflections. However, there was someone looking back at her in one mirror. Her? No, not her, but her twin sister. "It would have been nice to know you," Candy smiled at her and she returned it. However, it was short-lived as the mirror cracked – her sister disappearing also. It was a sharp reminder that her sister was gone... dead.
Candy was about to turn around, but the mirror in front of her shattered and a dark abyss laid on the other side. Before she could blink, a figure... her father, emerged from the abyss, "Thought you could escape me?" he sneered out a nasty chuckled. "Well, you thought wrong!"
Within an instant his rotting hand was around her neck, squeezing the life out of her body. Candy was screaming, but she couldn't hear herself, only the evil shouts of her father. "Candy!" She felt as if there were no more air in her lungs, "Candy!" Her body felt heavy – like she was turning to sand at the sight of her father's eyes.
"Candy!" She felt someone shake her shoulders, "Are you okay? I heard you screaming, so I came in... and now you're crying." Candy hadn't noticed the tears streaming down her face, and she hadn't noticed he was only in his boxers.
"I-It was my f-father," she sobbed and Theo wrapped his strong arms around her.
"Shh... it's okay, you're safe now," he held her until she stopped crying. "Better?"
"Better," she smiled at him.
They looked at each other intensely for goodness knew how long. Theo's eyes flickered down to her lips. Before they flickered back to her eyes, Candy connected their lips. They fought for dominance with their tongues, but Candy was no match for Theo. Soon Candy was beneath Theo as they continued to kiss. Their bodies were tangled together as the kiss became both hungry and rough. Candy was all too aware of the growing tent in Theo's boxers as he grinded himself on her leg. Candy could also feel herself getting heated.
When they finally pulled apart, Theo rolled onto his side and brought the covers over them, "Go back to sleep, I got you."

Candy cracked her eyes open to be met with Theo's sleeping face, inches away from hers. She studied his sleeping face. So, beautiful... so, at peace. She smiled at her thoughts, before untangling herself and heading to get ready. Once she had changed into something that was finally her own clothes, Candy headed to make breakfast while Theo slept. Just as Candy had finished making the second omelette, Theo came down washed and dressed. Candy placed his omelette in front of him and sat down to eat hers.
"D-Do you remember that dream we had?" Theo broke the silence as they ate their omelettes. Up until then, it had been a comfortable silence.
"Um... yeah," Candy instantly knew which dream he was on about.
"Well... you never finished your answer..." he trailed off sheepishly, but his eyes held determination.
Candy thought back to what he had asked her. 'Would you ever choose me, instead of being with your mate?' She didn't know how to answer him, "I-I don't know." She looked back at him.
"Candy, please. I just want to know."
"I don't know. Just drop it, Theo, please," she pleaded. She honestly didn't know what she'd do. She already felt like she had cheated on her mate.
"No, I can't! Candy, I love you," he confessed, "I'm in love with you," He's in love with me? How am I supposed to reply to that?
"Theodore, you're being unfair," tears started to form in her eyes as she looked away, "you know I have a mate."
After a moment or two of silence, Candy looked back up. Theo's eyes were clouded over. He was linking someone. Before she knew it, his eyes were back to normal, "we're under attack, I have to go," he said weakly as he stood up. He looked at Candy for a moment, with sad eyes, before kissing her hair, "stay here and stay safe." With that, he sprinted out the house.
Candy instantly went to the window in the living room. She looked out the window, only being met with the small forest that surrounded Theo's house. She focused her eyes and her sight expanded, further that what the average werewolf could see. She watched as a pack of big wolves raid their pack. She saw the she-wolves and pups being lead somewhere, probably the safe house. Oh my goddess, this is all my fault! I need to go help them!
Just as Candy ran to open the front door; it burst open. Luke, the Beta, came in and walked straight to Candy, "Hey, you okay?" he asked.
"Yeah, but why are you here? Shouldn't you be helping?" She asked as he took a hold of her hand and started leading her out of the house.
"Alpha sent me to escort you to the safe house," he said as they ran through the pack. However, Candy saw the other pack members... heading somewhere else.
"Where are they going? Where are we going?" Candy asked as they continued to run in the opposite direction of the other pack member.
"I'm taking you to the safe house, but it's a special one. It was built for the Alpha and Luna. It hides scents, even strong ones with power, so they are untraceable. Only a select few know about... that way, if a pack member is caught, he can't lead the enemy to the Alpha." Luke finished off as they stopped in front of a massive tree. He knocked three times on the trunk then a door appeared. Luke gently pushed Candy through the door, "everything you will need is down there. I have to go now." With that, Luke closed the door and a locking sound rang around her.
Candy turned around and was instantly met with a set of descending stairs. She heads down them and was met with a metal door. Pushing it open, she was brought to a well-lit room. There was a TV in the centre of the furthest wall, a couch and long desk that lined the wall. Closing and locking the heavy door behind her, Candy scanned the content of the room and found a letter on the desk. Picking it up, she saw that it was from Theo. It read: 'Stay safe, Candy, and stay in this safe house. No one can track you here as knows one knows about it. Please, stay put. I could never forgive myself if anything happened to you.'
Sitting on the couch, Candy turned on the TV. She then realised it was monitoring the whole pack, Candy could see everything that was going on outside. Before she could look at the footage outside the safe house, the metal door was ripped off its hinges. Her head whipped around and see stared at the tall dark figure looming in the doorway.
