I wake to my phone ringing. I look at the time to see it is 7 AM. I groan and grab my phone, I look at the screen and scrunch my eyebrows.

I hesitate before answering and I put the phone to my ear. "Hello?" I ask tiredly, seeing as I just woke up.

Silence...

"Hello?" I say into the phone again but this time more alert.

Silence...

"Look I don't have time for this. Speak now or piss off." I say angrily into the phone. There is still nothing, as I go to hanging up the phone, a dark chuckle sounds through the phone. I instantly am on high alert.

"Who the hell is this?" I growl into the phone. All I heard was another chuckle.

"Always the impatient one you are. Lets not forget easily angered.

" A guy's voice said. I stood up and did a quick scan of the room I was staying in because of instinct.

"As I already asked, who the hell are you?

I don't see it quite fair as you know who I am and I don't know you.

" I said icily. The guy laughed, "Life isn't fair, or have you not figured that out yet?

" I growled into the phone, "Who the fuck are you?

! How do you know who I am?!" I yell at the man.

"All in good time, Luna, all in good time.

I must go now but we will speak soon." he said and before I could reply the line had gone dead.

I stare at my phone for a few minutes and then was pulled from my trace by a knock on the door.

I shook my head and tossed my phone back on the bed then walked to the door and opened it.

"What is it Cam?" I asked my younger brother.

He narrowed his eyes at me, "Who were you talking to?

" he asked suspiciously. My mind immediately went to the phone call I had just received, "I wasn't talking to anyone Cameron.

I talk to myself a lot, you remember how I always did that when we were little.

" I lie to him. Cam looks at me for a second before nodding, "Okay.

So you coming down for breakfast?" he asked me.

I open my mouth to speak but was cut off by the sound of my stomach growling, "I guess that answers the question." I tell him. Cameron chuckles, "Yes it does." I roll my eyes, "Shut up. Anyways I'll be there in a few." I say, he nods and walks away towards the kitchen.

I close the door and walk to the bathroom. I step in and quickly undress and get in the shower. I wash my hair and body and get out. I dry myself and think of an outfit to wear.

I look through my suitcase and choose a white bandeau, a navy blue tank top, light blue faded jeans with rips at the knee and lower thigh, and some white flats.

I straighten my hair and do a waterfall braid. I slip on a silver necklace with a silver wolf howling up and a pair of silver earrings. I put on mascara, eyeliner, navy blue eyeshadow, and some clear lipgloss . I nod at my reflect before grabbing my phone and shoving it in my back pocket.

I open the door and make my way to the kitchen by memory. I walk in and see my brothers, Evan, Sean, some of the guys Cameron hangs out with, and the kitchen staff which included Brooke.

Everyone looked up when I enter, most of them having surprised looks on their faces to which I just rolled my eyes at them.

I looked over at Brooke and smiled softly.

Brooke smiled back brightly at me, "Nice to see you again Jade.

" She says. I smile and nod, "Ditto. I haven't seen you since you told me where to find Ryder's office, how fun that was. " I say and laugh softly at the memory.

Brooke only smiled, "Yes indeed it was." I nod and sit down beside Jason who was now eating some pancakes, "Hello brother." I say. "Hello sister." he says back. I chuckle and lean back in my chair. "Here you are Luna." A gentle voice spoke.

I look in front of me to see a middle aged woman setting a plate of food down in front of me.

"I could have done that Miss. And please, call me Jade.

" I say kindly, leaving out that I did not really enjoy the fact at being called Luna.

She smiled at me, "Nonsense! It's my pleasure, also my job, so sit there and enjoy.

..Jade." she said and added my name at the end.

I gave her a thankful smile, "Thank you. " I say and then start to eat.

Everyone continues to eat and chat to each other while I sit and observe them.

..sounds weird, trust me I know, but it's a habit.

"So when do you have planned on explaining things to us?

" A voice says out of the blue next to me.

I turn to look at Jason who is already looking at me with Cameron following his actions.

"Jeez. Can't even let a girl finish her breakfast. That's just wrong bro, that's just wrong.

" I tease and place my hand over my heart.

They both roll their eyes and I sigh, "Soon okay?

I will explain everything soon but not now.

Respect that I will tell you when I'm ready, okay?

" I tell them and look straight into their eyes.

They glance at each other before they both nod at me.

I nod and give them a small smile in return.

I breathe in deeply but immediately freeze...Old Spice. That's the first thing that popped into my head. Great, a visit from the Alpha King himself.

I sighed and stood up and walked to the sink. I placed my dishes in and started to wash them.

I stiffened. You could feel the tension as soon as he walked into the room. "Alpha." the room chorused and I knew they had bowed. I finished my dishes and walked back over to my seat next to Jason. Jason gave me a concerned look but I waved my hand dismissively.

I pulled my phone my pocket and the phone call came to mind.

I pulled my eyebrows together as I looked at my call log.

..it shows that I never got the call. That could only mean someone had deleted it from the log.

My eyes widened in realization, someone had come into the room when I was showering and had deleted.

I snapped my eyes up and looked around the room quickly.

Jason had noticed the change in my expression.

"What's up Jade?" he asked. I looked at him, "Nothing, just tired is all." I lie. He looks unconvinced but he nods and drops it. I look at the phone again and fear as well as anger pops back up. I stand up and start walking out of the kitchen when someone decides to make their presence known.

"Oh look who decided to show her face again. The slut that ran off." Said the screechy voice I had grown to hate with a passion. A vicious growl left my lips as I turned to glare at the Queen Bitch herself. Stacy and her little posse.

"You want to repeat that?" I spit out. Stacy rolled her eyes, "Are you deaf? A deaf slut, that's a new one." she laughs out like it was the funniest thing in the world and her posse laughs with her. I chuckle darkly.

Next thing that everyone knows I have her up against a wall by the throat. "Damn this seems familiar. Don't you think so Stacy?" I say with fake sweetness and sarcasm dripping from my voice. She claws at my hand but I just tighten my hold.

"I spared your worthless ass once, but this time no one will or can stop me from snapping your neck.

I will do it and walk away with no guilt or regret.

I warned you before and I'll warn you again.

Stay the fuck away from me. You got what you wanted so unless you want to have an early funeral then I suggest you piss off.

Is that understood?" I growl out, every word laced with venom.

She nodded as best she could with my grip around her neck. I smile, "Good." I let go and she drops to the ground gasping. I shake my head with disgust and look up, I see Ryder staring at me. I roll my eyes and look away.

I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket so I take it out, a text. I look down at who sent it and I freeze.

I click on the unread message.

I stare at the screen in shock and then the anger sets in at full force.

It was the man, the phone call, this was the man.

He had come into the room deleted the call and had been there when Cameron had came.

I growl loudly at the thought of this person anywhere near my baby brother, near any of my family at that.

I spin on my heels and in a matter of seconds I am inside the guest room that I had been staying in last night. I scan the room and find nothing. I sniff and pick up an unfamiliar scent, it's faint but it's there. Not a rouge but someone that belonged to a pack.

"Jade?" A familiar voice asked. I turned to see Ryder, Jason, Cameron, Evan, and Sean standing behind me.

I looked at Ryder, "What?" I asked him, my mind still reeling at what was happening.

"What's wrong?" he asked me, I could hear the worry in his voice which made my wolf swoon, some help she is right now.

I look into his eyes for a moment before looking at my brothers, "Nothing. Just paranoid is all." I say and shake my head. Jason narrows his eyes, "You're lying Snow. You've been lying since earlier this morning but I let it go. Now I know something is going on so explain. Now." he says.

I look at Jason and then Cameron. I glance at Evan and Sean. My eyes finally land on Ryder who is already looking at me. I sigh. I look at my phone before I start talking.

I look up and look into their eyes, "Well boys, it seems if I have a problem." I say. "What kind of problem?" I look at Cameron and give a small smile.

"A Stalker Problem. Mr. T to be exact."
