*Italics is Matt's thoughts.

My name is Matt. I am a 17 year old teenager and always will be. I was lying in an alley dying of thirst when Luke found me. He took me to his home and fed me. After my hunger was sated and I had some rest, Luke introduced me to my new "family". I was sitting on a couch and in walked two more guys. Luke said their names were Brad and Jake. Luke had created Brad and he found Jake the same way he found me. Luke is about 6'5" with blond, cropped hair and blue eyes and had the build of a bodybuilder. Brad is 6'3" and has brown hair past his ear lobes with hazel eyes and equally built as Luke. Jake is around 6'2" and has black hair to his shoulders and the most beautiful green eyes; however, Jake looked leaner than the other two but he's just as strong as Luke and Brad. Me? Well, I am 5'11" with dirty blonde hair with violet eyes. I have a swimmers build because I was on the swim team in my high school before I was changed into a vampire. Oh! And I'm gay. I

told them about my sexual preferences and they were fine with it, but they didn't say if they were gay or not.

Luke said he was 22 when he was turned and that he turned Brad when he was 21. Jake says he is 19, so that makes me the baby of our "family" in age and looks. From the start they were all like my older brothers, always looking out for me and being snoopy and mean at times, but I knew they all loved me.

It has only been about a year since I have been turned. Luke has been teaching me about the vampire ways of life and has been helping me with feeding and such. They are still over protective of me but are starting to let me go and come as I please. Which is a good thing. Right?

I rolled out of my king sized bed and walked over to the dresser.

"Great another day," I mumbled to myself as I pulled out a pair of shorts.

"Matt! I have your food when you want it," Luke said as he knocked on my door.

"You can bring it in,"

Luke open the door and pushed a young blond boy on the floor at my feet.

"Please...let me go," The boy was crying. He looked to be about 15 or 16.

I kneeled down next to him.

"What's your name?" I asked the young boy.

"Matt don't play with your food," Luke snapped.

"Please don't hurt me, I never did anything," The boy said as he got up, but Luke pushed him back down.

"I am so sorry," I embraced the boy in my arms and put my mouth next to his neck.

"Oh my god! Please don't! No! Who the hell are you guys!?" He said trying to push me away but I was to powerful for him.

I sunk my fangs into his neck and let the rich, warm blood fill my mouth. In a few minutes the boy's body was drained and I stood up looking at Luke.

"Why do you still bring me food? All you guys go out and hunt but you never let me," I said looking sadly at the dead body on the floor.

"Tomorrow you're going hunting with us. I only want to make sure your ready and that you can handle yourself," He smiled and put his hand on my shoulder. "Was he good?"

"Yeah," I smiled, wiping some stray blood from the corner of my mouth.

"That's good. Now I am going to the club. If you go anywhere you tell one of your brothers. You got that?" He said looking at me sternly.

"Yes ma'am!" I say. I smile letting him know that it was a joke since he started to frown.

"Good boy. I love ya. Stop bye tonight, ok." Luke said smiling.

"Yeah I will be there," I smiled as Luke gave me a hug and left my room leaving with the dead boy on his shoulders.

Ok, now I am sure I need to explain some things. See we are a very very rich coven because when Luke's dad died, he left him millions of dollars (before he was turned). With that money, Luke started up a night club and is often busy getting things ready for when they open at night. Yes, we're fine in sunlight but it makes us tired faster. Also, Luke always brings me my food then dumps the leftovers on his way to the club.

I walked downstairs to the main living room where Brad and Jake were playing on the Xbox 360. They both turned around and smiled at me.

"Hey guys," I mumbled.

"Hey sleepyhead, you wanna play?" Brad said holding out a controller.

"No thanks,"

"Well come over here and hang out," Brad said.

I walked over to my brothers and sat on the floor next to Jake's legs. He smiled and wrapped his legs around my chest squeezing the air out of me. He leaned down and hugged me then loosened his grip on my chest. I leaned back and rested my head between his legs.

"How are you today?" Jake asked as he started racing Brad in the game again.

"Good," I smiled at him. God, I love the combination of his black hair and green eyes. His hair made his eyes stand out! I always thought I was weird looking with purple eyes. Everybody always stared at me, or rather, my eyes. It made me feel uncomfortable.

"That's good. You're up late so you missed me kick Brad's ass on this game!" He laughed.

"The only reason you 'kicked my ass' was because you cheated!" Brad yelled. Brad hated to lose and often he lost to Jake when they played video games, but Brad always won in a bare fist fight.

I sat there quietly as my brothers argued and played there video games for the next two hours. I got bored, so I got up and figured I would go read or watch tv in another room. I sat down in front of the tv and started watching some nature show about predator and prey. It was pretty good. I channel surfed 'til I noticed the sun was going down. I figured I better get going to the club to see Luke. I quickly put on a green v-neck shirt, black skinny jeans with my gray peacoat, and my black Converse. I sprayed some cologne Jake bought me for my "welcoming" gift on my neck and I walked back downstairs where Brad and Jake were sitting on the sofa talking.

"Hey, I am going to go to the club," I told them.

"You want a ride?" Brad asked.

"No, I think I am going to walk."

"No your not." Brad said.

"Umm, yes I am," I told him.

"First of all it's almost dark and second your in a big city dumb ass, I don't want your ass getting kicked and then Luke bitching me out for it!" Brad said standing up.

"Fine! I'll take my car!" I told him. Luke bought me a car about a week or so after I came into his coven and it was a brand new Mini Cooper. He thought since I was the baby, I should have a small car. I gave him a good punch in the stomach but told him that I loved it.

"Ok. Be safe," Brad said, sitting back down.

"I will be down there later buddy," Jake said.

"Ok, bye," I walked to the garage just to make it look like I was going to take my car. I slammed the car door for good measure.

I opened the garage door and walked outside. When you're a vampire your cooped up a lot, so I love to walk and smell the breeze filled with all the different scents of the city. Flowers, cookies, fish, and garbage. I put my iPod Touch earphones in and I was listing to "Animal" by Neon Trees. I was about five or six blocks from the club when someone came up and put me in a choke hold. They were strong too! I was a vampire so I should have been able to get away from any human, but this person, (this thing!) I couldn't pull away from. It's not like they were going to kill me by putting me in a choke hold, I don't need to breath. I like to act normal and then beat their ass. They ripped my earphones out of my ears with there other hand.

"You fight me and I will only make your life worse!" said a deep voice.

"What do you want!?" I yelled.

"Shut up, you filthy blood sucker!" He said. How did he know what I was?

I was scared now. He cuffed my hands behind my back and I tried breaking them. That plan didn't work out quite so well. I heard a car door open and the guy pushed me in roughly. My head slammed against the seat and there was a ringing sound in my ears. He slammed the door and walked around the car.

I sat up and looked in the front seat where there was another guy in the passenger seat. The driver's door opened and the guy who choked me got in and started the car while locking the doors.

"Please, what do you want? I can pay you I just don't have the money on me now," I said. I am sure Luke would pay to get me back... at least, I hope he would.

"We don't want your fucking money!" The guy in the driver seat said.

"What do we want with a vamp anyways?" The guy in the passenger seat said.

"Shut up." The driver yelled at the passenger.

"Sorry," The guy mumbled.

We drove for awhile longer. I was getting more scared. The driver took my iPod but he didn't take my phone in the other pocket. Maybe I can call Luke and he could help me.

The car stopped and the guys in the front got out. The driver pulled me out of the back seat and was holding on to my neck and shoved me towards what looked like a small mansion. The other guy opened the door for the driver as we walked in. We walked into a living room type area where he threw me on the ground with force. I looked up from the ground and sitting all around me was a group of about 8 guys. I backed up into the wall, my hands still behind my back, and bared my fangs.

"Who the fuck brought the 'lil vamp!" One guy said, getting up out of a chair.

"I did! He was walking on the street and I thought we could fuck him up a bit and make sure he knows who is on top of the food chain," The driver said as he kicked me.

I grunted from the pain. He grabbed my neck and pulled me closer to the guys. They all looked like they were muscle models in a bodybuilder magazine.

"God, why didn't you chain him up back!? Now its going to make a mess," One guy said as he stood up and looked me over.

He kicked me hard in the side. I screamed in pain. "Stupid fucking blood sucker!" he said as he walked around me.

Another guy came up and he punched me in the face, then punched me in the stomach. I screamed in pain again and curled into a ball. The guy kicked me hard in the back. I looked up and he walked back to his chair. Another guy got up, ready to inflict his pain on me. I couldn't take anymore. I got to my feet and ran into another room which looked like a library. I used all my strength and somehow broke the handcuffs. I pulled my phone out and hit Luke's speed dial. The phone started ringing as all the guys walked in the room.

"PUT THAT PHONE DOWN!" One yelled.

"Daddy cant help you now!" Another said.

Luke answered his phone. "Hello..."

"Luke help me!" I yelling into the phone.

"Matt! What's the ma-" one of the guys grabbed my phone and snapped it in half.

"Please...please I didn't do anythi-" I said crying.

"Shut up!" the guy punched me in the face and I blacked out.

I woke up and someone had there arms around me.

"Is he up?" Someone asked.

I turned around and saw it was the guy who punched me in the face last night holding me.

"Oh my god! Let me go!" I yelled as I tried to get out of his arms.

"Stop! Please stop! I am sorry about last night." He said holding me tighter.

"LET ME GO!" I yelled trying harder to get out of his arms.

He let go of me. I slumped onto the floor. I curled in a ball waiting for him to hit me. I started crying. Through my tears, I noticed there were two other guys in the room watching tv. They looked down at me with sad faces.

The guy who was holding me got down on the floor with me and gently pulled me into his chest. I noticed we both weren't shirts and he was really hairy. But not in a bad way. It felt good against my smooth body.

Matt! What the hell!? He just beat you up last night and now your thinking about him sexually!

"I am sorry little one, we should have never have done that to you," he said.

"Please just let me go home." I said crying.

"Will you let me explain first?" he looked at me.

"It' not like I have a choice, your the one holding me to your chest," I said, while rubbing my nose.

"We are werewolves an-" He said smiling at me.

I pulled away from him.

"What the fuck!" Luke never told me about werewolves before!

"You are still young, and I am sure you would have learned about us sooner or later. I see your master has not told you of us," He said looking at me studying my face.

"Why are you not beating me up right now like you did last night?" I said, my eyes misting with tears.

"Last night was the full moon... and we kind of lose control when it's a full moon. I'm sorry," He said looking like he was about to cry. I noticed his eyes were the deepest brown, almost black, and I kinda got lost in them. Bedroom eyes... Shut up, Matt!

"So you guys were, like, wolves last night or something?" I asked, shaking my head.

"No ,little one, we can change into wolves whenever we want. When it's a full moon, we lose control and get very aggressive." He said.

"Oh, ok. Can I go now please?" I looked at him.

"I suppose so, I don't know how to explain this to your coven." He looked worried and... sad? Is he sad about me leaving or telling Luke and the others about what happened?

"Just let me go, please," He squeezed me to him for a couple of seconds and released me. Weird.

"There's a phone in the kitchen," He said pointing to a door way.

I walked into the kitchen and froze. There were two more guys sitting at the table eating cereal. They smiled at me and said that they were sorry about what happened last night. I nodded and walked to the phone and called Luke's number.

There was no answer, so I called Jake's.

"Hello!" Said Jake. He sounded like he was anxious.

"Jake, it's me!" I said.

"MATT! Where are you? What happened!? Luke never came home last night. He said he had to find you and that's it,"

"I don't really know, some werewolf's house, I guess," I told him.

"WHAT THE FUCK! WHY WHOULD YOU EVER GO HOME WITH A WOLF, WORST OF ALL, LAST NIGHT WAS THE FULL MOON!" he screamed.

"I didn't go because I wanted to! They took me so quit yelling at me!" I yelled into the phone. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the two guys eating cereal, cringe.

"Ask one of the guys who the alpha is, I'll know where you are then," Jake said.

I turned and looked at the two guys eating. They were looking at me too.

"Um, who is the Alpha?" I said, looking confused.

"Brian," They both said at the same time.

"They said Brian," I told Jake.

"Ok, I am leaving now and I will be there soon," He hung up.

I walked back into the living room and saw the guy that was holding me, lying on a couch reading. He got up and set his book down. I really noticed him this time. He was massive! Taller than Luke, maybe 6'6 or 7" with dark, chocolate brown hair. He had hugh pecs and a six pack you could grate cheese on! He had on dorm shorts, but I could tell his legs were probably just as muscular as his upper half. He had brown hair down his legs and a thick treasure trail that went down to what looked like a big bulge. I didn't notice that he was talking to me until he snapped his fingers.

"Someone getting you then?" he asked.

"Uh, yeah one of my brothers," I told him.

"Ok. I am really sorry man... by the way I am Brain." He smiled and held out his hand.

"Matt." I said shaking his hand.

He grabbed my hand and hugged me. My face went right between his hairy pecs. It hurt because my face was bruised and I was really sore, but I wasn't complaining.

"Matt, I speak for all of us when I say that I'm really sorry about last night," He said looking at me.

The door bell rang.

Brain wrapped his arm around my waist and walked me to the door. His closeness made me feel weird. This guy was just punching me last night! Why is his arm around my waist and helping me to the door?

Jake was standing there with fury in his green eyes.

"BRIAN! Get your hands off him now!" Jake said, anger dripping from his words.

Brian let go of me.

"Jake, you know we can't help it," He said.

I was so confused. How did these two know each other?

Jake pulled me out of the entry way and next to him. Then the next thing I knew, Jake punched Brain in the gut. Jake grabbed me, tight holding me against him as we walked to his jeep.

"JAKE come on! We are all sorry!" Brain shouted from the door, grimacing in pain.

"Get in," Jake said ignoring Brian.

Jake started the jeep and pulled out of the drive way. We drove in excruciating silence. We pulled in the garage of our house and Jake turned to me.

"Take off your shirt." He said calmly.

"Why do yo-" I asked.

"Don't question me! Take it off!"

I pulled my shirt off and looked down at my chest. It was dotted with blue and black bruises. I looked up at Jake confused. He looked shocked.

He grabbed my shoulder and looked at my back. There on my left shoulder blade was what looked like a tattoo of a paw print. Jake looked worried and furious. He tried rubbing it, but it didn't disappear and it hurt really bad.

"Those sons of bitches! I am going to fucking strangle each and every one of those flea bitten dogs!" He yelled as he turned and opened his door.

"What is that!" I asked worried. What is this tattoo thing? Is this supposed to be a reminder of what they did to me?

"They marked you!" He said getting angry.

"What does that mean?" I said starting to get more worried.

"It means that you're somebody's mate and they think you belong to them!" He said. WHAT!? No, no,no,no,no!!! I just got beat up by them and now I belong to one of them!

I started crying. Jake was mad at me.

We walked in the house to find Luke standing in the doorway of the living room. I pushed past him and ran to my room. I closed the door and and lied on my bed, sobs wracking my body.

I guess I must have fallen asleep because when I woke up it was dark outside. I walked down stairs and wandered into the kitchen, and there sitting at the table was Luke and Brain.

"Oh...hey Matt," Luke said.

This is weird. Why isn't Luke at the club and why is hehere?

"Why are you not at the club?" I asked.

"I needed to talk to Brain. I will be down there soon, but for now your brothers are down there watching over the workers and all that," Luke said.

"Ok?" I said confused.

"Why don't you sit down Matt," Luke said.

I sat down sitting beside Luke.

"I have something for you," Brain said. He grabbed a wrapped present off the floor and handed it to me.

On the top it said "Sorry". I opened it and it was a new phone. It was just like my old one too! Touch screen and everything. He must've bought me another one! Yay!

"Oh, thanks!" I said smiling at him.

"I am sorry for breaking your other one." He said looking sad.

"Oh, it's ok." I told him.

"NO IT'S NOT! You did not only manage to break his phone, which I could have easily replaced, you have bruised him all over!" Luke said, raising his voice at Brain.

"I said I was sorry! You know I can't help it!" Brain said.

"Whatever!" Luke said.

"Stop! If Brain says sorry and he could not have helped it, it's fine, I guess," I told them both.

"You going to tell him or should I?" Brian asked.

"I will because he is MINE!" Luke said.

"No! He's ONE OF OUR'S!" Brain said.

"No, he is not! You are going to remove it." Luke said, his jaw clenching and his hands balled up in fists.

"No I am not." Brain said.

"Why not!"

"Because I'm the one that wants to mate him!" Brain said, looking Luke straight in the eye.

What!?

That's all I remember before I fell off the chair and the last thing I saw was Brian's dark, brown eyes.

Beautiful, bedroom eyes. So beautiful....
