Chapter 3
Spare woke up feeling like she was still dreaming, the bed was so warm and soft, there was a lingering
scent that drove her crazy, as she was rubbing her face all over the pillow. She woke with a start, not
knowing where she was till Artemiszily informed her that they spent the night in their mates bed.
She quickly got out of the bed and looked around the room. It was huge, there weren’t a lot of
decorations , there was a couch on one side with a reallyrge TV. When she turned to look at the rest
of the room, she saw him asleep on a cot. He didn’t look veryfortable.
She silently made her way over to him. The nket was down around his hips as he was snoring
softly. She took him in, no one should look this good, his broad shoulders and dark hair covering his
well muscled chest, she followed that hair to where it disappeared under the nket. Artemis was
panting so hard that Spare started breathing harder too. His scent was so strong right here,she couldn’t
control her hands, she managed to stop herself before she actually touched him.
She turned and found another door, upon opening it she found to her joy a bathroom. She had to pee
so bad her eyeballs were floating.
When she went into the bathroom, Duncan opened his eyes. He pretended to be asleep to see what
she would do, He could still smell her arousal in the air. Running his hand through his hair in
frustration, mind linking his wolf, Apollo this is going to be the toughest thing we have ever done.
He got up and put on some casual clothes and waited for her to get done in the bathroom. He looked
in the drawer where he put her clothes, he was going to burn these as soon as possible. They were
too big and saggy looking. He picked up her shoes they had a hole in the bottom of them , that she put
a piece of duct tape over.
He took the envelope with her money out of the safe and put it on the side table, the rest he packed
up, including her shoe’s and tossed them down theundry chute, mind linking his Beta to collect them
and destroy them.
She wasn’t going to be happy but there was no way his Luna was going to wear those clothes ever
again. He stood up and went to sit on his cot, just as she wasing out of the bathroom.
They looked at each other for a little while, Spare blushed and finally looked away. She sat down on
the bed defeated.
Duncan saw this and cringed, as he went and sat down on the bed beside her. ” I have ordered
breakfast for us both to eat in here, I hope that we can talk about everything.”
She was grateful for that, she really didn’t feel like meeting new pack members just yet. Just then a
knock came at the door, Duncan opened it and two girls came in giggling, as they sat down two trays
loaded with food and drinks.
They left as quickly as they came, for which Spare was happy about, she didn’t need anyone giving
her looks. She hated to be in the spotlight. It made her feel vulnerable. She sat down at the table
looking at all the food, it smelled like heaven. She wasted no time, grabbing her fork she dug into the
food with gusto.
Duncan watched her eat, at least she has an appetite. Unless she is so starving that she can’t help
herself. Either way she was going to get all the food and snacks that he could give her.
“So little wolf, tell me about that really weird looking teddy bear, what is his story?.”
” His name is Max, I made him when I was six years old. I wasn’t allowed any toys of my own, My
sister though would throw huge tantrums and destroy her stuffed animals. So one day I started to
collect parts out of the garbage and made max.”
“Did you do anything with your family?”
“No, I had to stay out of sight, I wasn’t even allowed to use the front door.”
Duncan was getting more and more pissed as this conversation was progressing. Taking a deep breath
to calm himself and his wolf down.
“How about food, if you were not allowed to be around them how did you eat.?”
“When I was little I waited for everyone to go to bed, then I would sneak down and steal some food. If
they noticed things were missing they never said, though I was punished really bad when I got caught
on one of my runs, out of my room.”
Ok, he was going to have stop asking those questions or he was going to be punching out the walls.
“I know that I messed up your ns to get out of there and go to college. However let me say this first,
You can go to any college you wish and study whatever you like. You won’t be paying for it either, nor
are you going to be paying for anything. I’m going to spoil you rotten.”
She got up and grabbed the envelope with her money inside, she handed it to him. “Here take this to
help pay for my things, it isn’t a lot really but it’s something. I can also work cleaning or cooking, to
earn the rest of it.”
Duncan put his hand over her’s, “No, my little wolf that is your money and you will do with it as you
please. There will be no paying me back or working it off. You are my Mate and no one is going to hurt
you ever again, you will want for nothing.”
She just stared at him, with her mouth open in shock.
“You can’t be my mate, iming a mate is a bad thing in our pack, well not everytime but usually more
so than not.”
“What do you mean by iming a Mate is a bad thing?”
“Well I only hear gossip here and there but thest two girls that found their mates were rejected and
disappeared the next day. Everyone said it was because of the pain of the rejection, that they will
girls.”
Duncan sat there in silence stunned, what the hell was going on in that pack, could they all be slime
balls. Were the males rejecting their mates to make money?.
“Spare I want you to know that that is not normal behavior for mates, a mate is your other half. To be
cherished and loved forever. It’s a gift from the moon goddess.”
“One more thing, I want you to choose another name besides Spare, I will not have that insult pped
in your face everytime someone speaks your name.”
“I don’t know a name to choose to be honest.”
“It wille to you don’t worry, you have lots of time. My sister Marnie will be here soon, she has new
clothes for you and all kinds of things I’m sure, she loves shopping. Perhaps you two cane up with
a name. Just for today and tomorrow too, I want you to just rx and pamper yourself. When Marnie
gets here do whatever girls do, when they are together.”
“Umm, Duncan. I didn’t have any friends. My only friend is my wolf Artemis.”
At the mention of her wolf, Apollo perked up and started to tell Duncan what questions to ask them.
“What does your wolf look like?. Can you shift?.”
“Ok, but turn around. I have never been naked in front of anyone before.”
Duncan turned around, after a little bit he heard a small woof behind him. He turned back around to
see the most beautiful wolf he had ever seen. She was snowy white with little ck tips on her paws.
She had even darker eyes than Spare did.
Apollo was dancing around in his head excited. Artemis just sat and stared at him like she was sizing
him up. Duncan quickly got undressed and changed into Apollo. Reminding him to go very slow. Apollo
was huge next to her, he was a golden wolf with glowing amber eyes. Apollo got down into aying
position so as not to intimidate Artemis.
Artemis gave out an excited little bark and went to Apollo rubbing herself all over him, Apolloid there
smugly. Duncan felt his joy and was happy for him. Apollo spoke to Duncan, “You will have yours soon
too, we just have to gain her trust, she has been through too much. She needs time to heal.”
Artemis then grabbed Spare’s shirt and walked to the bathroom. Spare came out shortly afterward,
Apollo was still there waiting for her. She reached out a hand to scratch him behind his ear. Apollo
looked like an idiot with his tongue hanging off to his side.
“You’re very handsome Apollo, thank you.”
With that Duncan stood before her once again, naked. She quickly turned her head but not before she
got a little peek at him and blushed. Duncan was happy almost giddy, she is ours Apollo. Nothing will
take her from us. Not even her.
