Story: Fated for Her
Everyone was introduced to me. Zayn’s four aunts hugged me so tightly that I almost couldn’t breathe, and his five uncles were nice enough to shake my hand. Except for one of his aunts and uncles who I heard hasn’t found a partner, all of them had kids. There were about eighty people sitting at ten different tables in their backyard. Some of the younger kids were running around in their bathing suits and jumping into the pool.
I had never been in the water before. Marlene bought me a few bathing suits, but I never thought I would need them. Zayn smiled at all of his family and held my hand the whole time we were together.
People kept asking me about my age, my grades, how many kids I wanted, and my family. I told them the truth about my parents’ deaths, but I didn’t tell them about the whole uncle thing. It looked like everyone in his family was sad because of what I said. I told them I wasn’t sad because I was lucky to find another family. They all smiled at this and went back to talking and joking around.
Marlene and all of her sisters and sisters-in-law made so much food that there was steak, baked potatoes, and cherry cobbler. I was shocked by how much gourmet food was spread out on the counters.
Zayn told me during dinner that Theo was his beta and Dorian was his delta. Theo was still the same, making fun of Zayn and being sarcastic, but Dorian was quieter. He would laugh but never really tell any jokes, and he never looked me in the eye. It was strange, but I didn’t think much of it. I was new, and everyone has a different personality and way of thinking.
We said goodbye and hugged everyone after dinner. I was happy to be with them because I felt like I belonged and knew I wasn’t alone anymore.
We went up the stairs and into our room. I went into the bathroom without saying anything, took off my makeup, washed my face and brushed my teeth. Zayn came in and put his hands around my waist while I was putting the brush in its cup holder. When I saw our reflection in the mirror, I couldn’t help but blush. It was kind of funny. It was amazing how different our heights were.
I hugged my giant back after he turned around in his arms. Zayn picked me up and gave me a hug.
He whispered in my ear, “Hey Sienna, we need to talk.” I nodded my head. A lot of girls would be worried if their boyfriend said, “We need to talk,” but I wasn’t. I knew Zayn was my friend, and he couldn’t leave me without hurting.
Afterward, Zayn put me down gently. He took my hairbrush off the counter and led me to the bed. I sat on the end with my legs hanging off the side, and Zayn sat behind me and started to gently brush through all my knots.
“So, I just wanted to talk to you about the Luna position you’re going to have as my mate,” he said.
“Okay, what am I going to do?” I asked, a little worried about what he would say.
“Well, you’ll meet the whole pack and be like a mother to them. You know, help out when you can, and you might even have to help with the pack paperwork. My mum will probably have you cook too,” he said, sounding worried about how I would respond. I thought it sounded pretty good overall. I liked being around kids and helping them out. I also loved cooking, and I was always good at school, so I wasn’t too worried about the paperwork.
“Okay, sounds good. I can’t wait to meet the rest of the pack,” I said with confidence.
Zayn took a long breath. I didn’t even know he was holding it in. I turned around on the bed so that I was facing him and put both of my hands up to his face. His eyes lit up with love and concern at this. I smiled and gave him a quick kiss on the lips. Even though it was quick, I could still feel the electricity go through my body.
I leaned back, jumped off the bed and ran to the closet to get some pyjamas. I chose a pair of plain black pyjama shorts that felt like silk and went to Zayn’s side of the closet. I found what I was looking for after looking around and took one of his Nike shirts. It was grey and had a logo in white on it. It was too big for me; it landed in the middle of my thigh. I went into the bedroom and saw Zayn lying on the bed in just his boxers. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the Greek god in front of me with his abs on full display. He was mine and no one else’s. Zayn saw me staring at him right away.
“Do you like what you see, Angel?” he asked with a smirk.
“Yes. Do you like what you see?” I said, putting one hand on my hip and the other on my head in a pose.
Zayn laughed so hard that he couldn’t breathe. I stayed in the pose until he was done, still waiting for him to answer. After he was done, he shook his head and said yes four times. At that point, I stopped, jumped on the bed, and snuggled into his chest, enjoying the moment and hoping it would last.

Theo’s mind connected with mine just as Sienna was falling asleep.
“Theirs a pup at the border. He came from a neighbouring pack and is hurt!” Theo said in a panic.
“I said, “We’re coming.”
“Sienna. Wake up. You need to be a Luna now.” Sienna got up right away and looked at me, hearing the worry in my voice.
“What’s wrong?” she asked as she got out of bed.
“I’ll tell you on the way,” I said as we walked to the closet to get my clothes. “Put on some jeans and a T-shirt.”
Zayn’s point of view
We quickly got dressed and began our walk to the pack hospital. Sienna finally got to see some of the pack houses, and she was amazed. Our pack houses weren’t small; everyone had a pretty big house, and we all lived in a gated community so that people from outside couldn’t get in. There was a big entrance that connected the community to the forest, but it was all private property.
As soon as we got to the hospital, we ran to the child’s room. There was a three-year-old girl in the hospital bed. She was lying in bed with a broken right arm and a bruised face. Her hair was blonde and her skin was pale. She must have been the alpha’s daughter because I could feel the power coming off of her.
She slowly opened her eyes and squinted as she got used to the light. Her eyes were blue, like my Lunas, but they were a little brighter. When she saw Sienna next to me, she weakly smiled.
Sienna slowly walked over to her and pulled a chair up next to her bed.
“Hello there, sugar. I’m Sienna,” she said in a sweet voice as she introduced herself to the child. The girl laughed at Sienna.
“I’m Liana and I’m three years old. How old are you?” she asked with interest.
“Where did you come from?” Sienna asked. Liana’s face turned into a frown, and tears almost fell from her sweet face. “I’m 16 and going to be 17 in a little over a week.”
“I’m from the Emberfang pack. M-my Mommy and Daddy died,” she said through tears. Sienna picked the girl up off the bed and held her in her arms. Whispering sweet things in her ear. This hushed Liana’s crying into soft sniffing.
“Her father is Alpha Vaughn and her mother is Luna Arabella. They were both 21 or are now,” I said in a voice loud enough for Sienna to hear.
I had never been in the water before. Marlene bought me a few bathing suits, but I never thought I would need them. Zayn smiled at all of his family and held my hand the whole time we were together.
