I wake up to Chloe shoving my shoulder.

"What?" I say annoyed she woke me up.

"Your phone won't stop buzzing. Turn it off!" She says, in an annoyed and groggy voice.

She turns her back to me, and I reach over to the bedside table and grab my phone. I look to see a bunch of texts and calls from Xavier, Christine, and even Lucy and Blake.

I go through Christines messages first, only being three of them. One asking where I was, next asking if I'm okay, and the last telling me Xavier is having a nervous breakdown.

I immediately call Xavier without looking at his texts. He answers after the first ring.

"Amelia, where the fuck are you?" He says in a panicked voice, and sounds as though he is out of breath.

"I'm at Amandas. Some stuff went down last night so we stayed here. I was going to tell you about it this morning." I quickly look at the time on my phone and see it's only 9 am.

"Babe, we got a picture sent to my house this morning of you sleeping in your room and a note talking about how you've been kidnapped and shit like that." He says quickly.

"What the fuck? He took a picture of me?" I ask aloud.

"Who is he?" Xavier asks, saying angry now instead of panicked.

"One of the rouges were in my room last night, that's why we had to leave my house. The police already know and checked out the house." I quickly explain.

"Did he hurt you? I swear to god!" Xavier shouts, and I pull the phone from my ear.

"I'm fine! He didn't even come near me! He was just laughing at me, sitting by my window." I explain to try and calm Xavier down.

"Amelia I need to see you right now. Please tell me Amanda's address." He pleads, and sounds like he's going to cry now.

"Okay, okay. I'll text you her address." I do just that, and I can hear Xavier over the phone starting his car.

Was he in his car this entire time? To answer my questions I ask him that.

"Yeah. Babe I'm at your house right now. When you didn't answer anyone, I came over to find your house empty so I had everyone try to call you." He explains.

"When you went to my window, did you catch the scent of the rogue?" I ask him.

"Nothing distinctive, it must be because of the time difference and the fact the cop and your dad were by it too." He tells me.

"Just text me when you get here and I'll meet you outside." I tell him.

"I will, I love you."

"Love you too." I hang up, and then decide to call Christine.

"Amelia! Blake told me what happened with the picture. Are you okay?" She asks, sounding panicked too.

"Yeah I'm fine, I'm at Amandas right now with everyone. Xavier is also on his way over."

"What happened last night?" She asks.

"I had this horrible nightmare where I was stabbed by the one rogue I saw the first day we all hung out at my house a few months ago. Then when I woke up, there was the guy, sitting on my window bench and laughing at me. I screamed and when my dad and Chloe made it to my room, he was gone when I looked back. Then my dad discovered that our alarm system wasn't set and we called the cops but he was long gone by then. So now we are at Amandas." I explain to her.

She stays silent for a few seconds, "Amelia, promise me you won't sleep alone anymore. Blake told me that everyone is freaking out and already setting up a patrol to be around your house 24/7."

"What?"

"Yeah. When the future Luna is in danger everyone, and I mean everyone, makes it their mission to keep her safe."

"Xavier didn't say anything like that on the phone."

"He probably wanted to explain it all in person once he knew you were safe."

I get a text from Xavier saying that he's here. "I talk to your later Christine, Xavier just got here."

"Okay, if anything happens and you can always call me. Bye"

"I know. Bye." I then hang up and text Xavier to meet me in the lobby of the apartment building.

I grab Amandas keys and take the elevator down and the minute I walk out, I am engulfed in his arms. He lets me go, walks me back into the elevator, and I push for Amandas floor.

Seconds after pushing the button, he gives me the most passionate kiss ever. It's as though all his anxiety and worries are being put into this one kiss. I break away to catch my breath.

"Babe, you are not sleeping alone ever again." With the way he's looking at me, I know he's dead serious.

We reach Amanda's floor, and as I lead the way I mention what Christine told me about the patrol.

"Oh yes. We are going to have our warrior wolves follow you and your family everywhere and some stationed at your house." He says nonchalantly.

"Why?" I ask, opening the door to Amanda's apartment.

"Well because you're their future Luna and we need to make sure nothing ever happens to you or your family." He says, following me to the couch.

"I don't want to become a burden though."

"You will never be a burden to this pack. Trust me."

"So with this 'never sleeping alone' thing. I'm guessing you'll be sleeping over a lot now?" I try to clarify for myself.

"Of course. If this was my choice you would never leave my house, but I can't kidnap you because of your dad." I laugh, thinking he's joking, but he doesn't laugh with me.

"You would actually not allow me to leave your house?" I ask, shocked.

"You wouldn't leave my room. I can't have you hurt babe, it would kill me." He says, still serious.

I never imagined what someone would go through if their mate died. I note to myself to ask Lucy about that later.

"Since the rogue was in your room, my parents want you to come over so they can see themselves that you are alright." He explains.

"Why?" If his parents know I'm safe, I don't see why they have to see me for themselves.

"Once anything happens to the Luna that could possibly hurt her, the pack is anxious to see her safe for themselves." He explains, holding me against his chest.

He takes a swift smell of my hair, and I would creep out if I didn't know that it is his way to calm himself down.

"Okay. Let me get ready and tell my dad." I say.

I quickly walk to Amanda's room, knocking before entering, and walking over to my dad's sleeping figure. I slightly shake him awake, his eyes holding confusion to see me standing next to him this early in the morning.

"Dad, Xavier is here and was wondering if we could go to his house to hang out?"

"Um.. okay. I'll text you when Chloe and I go back home. Be home by 9 tonight."

"Thank you!" I say, leaving quietly and I can hear him snoring again already.

I jog to the guest room and grab my overnight bag, quickly changing into a light blue knit sweater and black jeans. I brush my hair and teeth and do my morning routine quickly.

I slip on my shoes, grab my phone and wallet then leave the room without waking Chloe and go to the living room where Xavier is, occupied by his phone. The moment I walk in though, he looks up and smiles to me.

He stands up and grabs my hand as we leave Amandas aparment, the door locking behind us. We walk quietly to Xaviers Jeep, and the ride to his house is only about 20 minutes.

Xavier plays Mac Demarco, and it reminds me back to when we were going to the beach, before everything started. I wish we could go back to that easy, warm, and beautiful day.

We pull up to Xavier's house, him coming aorund to open the door for me. We walk into his house through the open garage door. Once inside I am bombarded by five different people hugging me.

I stand frozen, as Xavier tells everyone to get off of me and let me breath. I give him a thankful glance.

They all let go, and I finally see who has hugged me. Lucy, Christine, and all three of the boys moms.

"I'm okay guys, I promise." I say, cutting them off before they could get out any questions.

Xavier leads us to the living room. In there are Xaviers parents, Blake and his dad, and Grayson and his dad. They all seem to become visibly relieved when they see me, but do not bombard me with hugs as the moms had.

"Amelia, you couldn't understand the terror we all felt when we saw that photo of you." Xaviers dad, Andrew, explains.

I wanted to make a joke to maybe calm the tense air, but decided against it. I don;t think they would appreciate that very much.

"Once we see and know our Luna could be in danger, we all get into a state of worry and protection." Blakes dad, Luke, continues.

"It was very scary, but he didn't try to hurt me. I think he was just trying to scare all of us, and we can't let the rogues have that power." I try to let them see how I see the situation.

"We won't let this slide though." Xaviers mom, Dana says sternly.

"We won't." Xavier says with the same stern tone, enterwining our hands.

"I just want to make sure my family stays safe." I would rather be the target than dad or Chloe. Or worse, mom.

"Of course. The Lunas family safety is as important to us as hers is." Andrew tells me.

"And I want survalence on Christine."

"What?" Christine says, confused.

"I agree!" Blake says from beside Christine.

"That's not necessary." She trys to argue.

"Yes it is." Blake and I say in unison.

She just rolls her eyes, but doesn't fight it anymore.

"Alright, now that all this is happening, we need to make a plan if another threat occurs." Graysons dad, Noah, tells us.

We all agree with him, and spend the next two hours talking about what happened, and how we could possible stop from that one rogue getting Chrisitne or myself again.

After our meeting, Xavier and I spent the rest of the day in his room. We got on the topic of talking about our lives when we were younger.

"You were shorter than Lucy?" I laugh, as Xavier tells me Lucy use to bully him because she was taller than him until 7th grade.

"Hey! At least I didn't have a bowl cut." He laughs, probably picturing the photo I had shown him of my bowl cut.

"It was all my mom could do and I was in kindergarden! Fashion didn't matter then." I say to save younger me.

"Our children are not allowed to have bowl cuts." He continues to chuckle as he tells me that.

"Oh I agree. Don't you worry." I giggle with him.

"I can't wait for what our children will look like." He sighs.

"Well hopefully like you."

"No, I want at least one to be a carbon copy of you."

"And why is that?"

"Becuase you are the most beautiful women, and our child would be very lucky to be half as beautiful as you are." He looks at me with so much love in his eyes.

"I really love you Xavier, I don't know how I go so lucky."

"I know, I mean I am pretty amazing!" I slap his chest, and cuddle into him turning my attention to the movie.

"Don't worry babe. I'm definitely more lucky to have you as a mate." He kisses the top of my head before tighening his hold on me.

After hours of just talking and watching more movies, 8:30 comes around and Xavier drives me home.

"I'll be back in 30 minutes. Don't unlock your window until I call you." He says sternly.

"Yes sir." I joke, but he just shakes his head.

I walk into my house, and see dad and Amanda in the living room. I walk and say goodnight to them before walking to Chloes room.

She was just working on homework with Aidan and we say goodnight then I go to my room. But not before Aidan makes sure that I'm okay, and I explain the meeting from earlier to them.

I change into pajamas and do my night routine. Xavier calls me, and I open my window for him. He easily climbs in, and we settle into my bed together, but not before he ensures the window is locked.

"Are you little warrior wolves out there yet?"

"They've been there since this morning."

"What? I haven't even seen them." I looked earlier for them, but it looked as though no one was there.

Xavier chuckles, "I think it's time for you to get some sleep."

I agree and snuggle up to Xavier, quickly falling into a dreamless sleep.

~~~

So another update! I don't much to say besides I hope everyone and their family are safe.
