After what happened in the training area, I was pissed. I had half a mind to go find Sasha and rip her leg off which was what I was trying to do when Tyler pulled me off of her. Exactly what the hell is that woman trying to pull?

I have no idea, but at least Tyler wasn't happy about it. Danger thought.

Yeah I know but I really didn't like the way that Sasha was glaring at him, I thought, I swear if she keeps going after Tyler, I won't stop at biting her and I could care less if someone's trying to pull me off of her. I'll break her leg next time!

I was snapped out of my thoughts by a knock on my bedroom door.

"Hey there," said Tyler. "How are you feeling?"

"I'm pissed, I think next time Sasha looks at you the way she did at the training area I'll break her leg!" I declared.

He smirked. "Hmm, jealousy is an interesting thing amongst werewolves."

"I guess so," I said. "What's up?"

"I came here to see how you were doing after what happened at the training area, but your declaration of wanting to break Sasha's leg pretty much gives me my answer to that question," Tyler said.

"No kidding," I said. I went over and sat down on the bed. Tyler sat down on the bed beside me.

"Oh and in case you're wondering after you're done editing Lauren's 'book' you're not leaving this place," Tyler said.

I tilted my head. "Huh? What do you mean?"

"Well you're my mate and it's tradition for an Alpha's mate to live with him," Tyler explained. "And you're also my Luna and you'll officially get the position when I mark you."

"Ah, mark me?" I repeated. "What does that mean?"

"When we soul bonded and got that pentagram mark on our foreheads it's kind of like that, but a little different," Tyler said. "It involves me biting you right by your neck."

"Huh?" I said.

He pulled me into his arms and made me sit on his lap. "I'm going to hold myself back from marking you because I don't think it's time. Unless…"

"Unless what?" I said.

"You agree to me doing it now and I won't have to worry about that part for your Luna Ceremony," Tyler said.

"What's the Luna Ceremony?" I asked.

"It gives you some authority within the pack. Not total authority so basically you'll be helping me lead the pack," Tyler said.

I thought about it and it didn't take me long to make a decision because I knew I loved Tyler and I had a feeling that once I was marked that I would be with Tyler forever. I would do anything to help him just like he would do anything to help me. Even though we've only been together for a few weeks now I know I love Tyler and I know he loves me.

"Alright, do it," I said. "Mark me."

"Are you sure about that?" Tyler said after he nibbled on my ear.

I smiled and nodded. "I'm sure, I know we haven't been together very long but it's clear to me that I love you."

Tyler purred and nibbled on my ear again. "Say that last part again please."

"I love you," I said.

"I love you too," Tyler said. "And no matter what happens you're mine."

He grabbed my waist and held me in place as he bit me on my neck. I let out a small yelp and the pain left as quickly as it came. He licked the wound clean and let out a contented sigh, "This way everyone will know you're mine. There is one more thing, you should mark me next."

I nodded. "Alright then."

Tyler let go of me and turned around to face him. He tilted his head to give me access to his neck and I bit him. I grinned when I felt him get a hardon and I was getting ready to unzip his pants when I heard Theo say, "It's about fucking time you marked her! We have a Luna! We have a Luna! We have a Luna!"

"Damn it Theo!" Tyler growled.

Theo ran out of the room chanting, "We have a Luna!"

Tyler gently pushed me off his lap and sighed, "Sorry I need to go deal with Theo. He can be an impulsive idiot sometimes."

I snorted. "It's okay, he's just excited that's all."

He reached over and kissed me. "Don't worry I'll be back and we can pick up on where we left off."

When he left I felt my face turn red. Danger chuckled, Aww it so cute to see you happy for a change. Who knew that all you needed to do was get laid and that would tame you.

Ah… I thought. Danger wouldn't stop laughing at me and I rolled my eyes.

"Aww love is such a sweet thing, isn't it?" I heard a voice say. At first I thought it was Danger trying to talk to me through a mirror again.

But when Danger said it wasn't her I called out, "Who's there?"

"Come look at this spirit in the mirror! Bark! Bark!" The voice replied in a sing-song tone.

My eyes went wide in horror because I had a hunch of what was happening. When I was younger and after I casted my first spell I had to do a ritual that would bind me to my Ouija board. This ritual involved summoning spirits from the Dead Realm and I was required to summon as many spirits as I could. The spirits that were summoned would become my guardians and they were supposed to help me channel my magic and keep it under control just like my shadow does.

I wound up breaking a record by summoning a total of seventy-one spirits from the Dead Realm. However, breaking this record was a dangerous record to break. The spirits made my life hell and sometimes I didn't know what was real and what wasn't. So I started fighting back. I started with not showing up to the Black Lotto Ceremony especially when I figured out what it was about.

"Come look at this spirit in the mirror! Bark! Bark!" The voice sang again. "Come on Mary! Don't you wanna know who I am?"

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

I gulped and went to the bathroom mirror and my eyes went wide in horror when I saw whose reflection was in the mirror. It was Charlie, one of the first spirits that I summoned. Not to mention she was the most evil she tried to possess my body, why I have no idea. Every time I would ask her about it she brushed it off.

Charlie gave me a sinister smile. "Hi there! Did you miss me?"

I shook my head. "That answer to that question would be a hell No!"

She pouted, "Aww come on! I wasn't that bad was I?"

I nodded. "Yes, yes you were! You tried to take over my body and I'm not about to let you do that again! And if you break free of that prison I will send you back to Hell where you came from!"

"Oh really? I'd like to see you try!" Charlie taunted, "By the way, that gate that's in front of the prison is starting to break and soon my dear… Very soon… It'll break completely and I'll be free! And the first thing I'm going to do with my freedom is make your life a living hell again!"

"Thanks for letting me know about the gate Charlie!" I snapped.

"You're welcome and-" Charlie started.

At this point my anger hit the roof. Charlie paused and gave me a sinister smile again. "Am I-"

I didn't let her finish the rest of her sentence when I punched the mirror and it shattered into pieces. I heard Danger growling inside my head as I backed up against a nearby wall and slid down it. I curled up into a ball and couldn't stop shaking. What am I going to do? I finally get some happiness in my life and then this happens?

I don't know but you need to take a couple of deep breaths and we'll figure something out. You could start by telling Tyler about this. I'm pretty sure he'll do everything in his power to help us! Danger thought.

I nodded and decided that was exactly what I was going to do. That's because I had to do something about this before things got out of hand.

After I marked Mary and Theo walked in on us, I had to chase him down the hallway as he chanted, "We have a Luna!"

"Damn it Theo!" I shouted, "Get back here!"

I finally managed to tackle him when we got outside the house and covered his mouth with my hand. "Theo, shut. Up! I'll make the announcement about it tomorrow but for now, chill out!"

He nodded. "Okay fine, I'll keep quiet about it."

"Good," I said. Before I could say anything else, Justin came running up to us with a panicked look. I frowned. "What's wrong?"

"Something happened to Mary and I'm not sure what's wrong," Justin said. "She keeps asking for you and she doesn't seem like she's in her right mind right now."

"Shit!" I said, "I'm coming."

When I got back to the guest house I was shocked by what I saw. The mirror in the bathroom was shattered and Mary was sitting curled up in a ball rocking back and forth saying, "She's coming, she's coming!"

I picked her up and sat down on the bed holding her on my lap in my arms. I checked her out to see if she had any glass shards stuck in her but she seemed fine physically.

"I have no idea how she got out but she's coming!" Mary exclaimed.

"Okay, who's coming?" I asked, "What's going on? What's wrong?"

Um, Tyler, I don't think Mary can clearly explain what's going on at the moment. She's scared right now and every time she gets scared of something she doesn't make any sense. Danger through the mindlink.

What do you mean? I replied.

It's a long story and I think Mary needs your help with this, she's just too afraid to ask, Danger thought.

Danger proceeded to explain about a ritual that Mary went through after she saved all of those people from a burning school bus. In doing that action it was considered her casting her first spell. This ritual would bind her to her Ouija Board that would help cast spells involving dark magic. Apparently she managed to summon seventy-one spirits and broke a record for the most spirits summoned. According to Danger, Mary saw one of the spirits she summoned named Charlie in the bathroom mirror. She got angry and punched the mirror because of that.

I couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

I think right now Mary doesn't want pity because that's why she's afraid to ask for help on things, Danger thought, She thinks it makes her look weak if she asks for help.

I looked down at Mary and put a hand underneath her chin to make her look at me. "Listen Mary, you're not weak if you ask for help. Heck, I'm an Alpha and I even know when to ask for help. I'm your mate, let me help you."

Mary nodded and then squeaked. "Okay."

Seeing Mary vulnerable like this and not tough as nails all the time made my heart melt. She just looked so innocent and cute. She put her head on my chest and I sat there holding her.

I had an idea on how to help her but I was going to need the Elders help to do so.

***

After I made sure Mary was asleep I contacted the Elders via mindlink and asked them to come to my office. I explained to them what happened and their jaws dropped.

"Tsk, tsk," the leader of the Elderly men said, "Poor girl, she's been through nothing but hell and back. We might be able to help her but it's a bit of a stretch and I'm not sure if it'll work."

"What do you have in mind?" I asked.

"Well," the Elderly man said, "It would involve her breaking down the gate to whatever prison she has set up to keep the spirits at bay. She'll have to send each individual spirit back to Hell through the Ouija Board and once that's done burn the board."

I scratched the back of my neck trying to figure out if that would be a good idea or not. "I don't know. I think I'll run this by her and see if she wants to do it."

The Elderly man nodded. "Well of course we don't want her to do it against her will or it won't work."

"Alright then," I said.

The Elderly man looked at the clock and then back at me. "We'd better get going, we have a Forced Acceptance Ceremony to get to."

I chuckled, "Yeah, have fun with that."

Other two Elderly men snickered and when their leader got up and left they followed suit. Once they were gone I headed back over to the guest house to check on Mary.

{Mary}

The next time I woke up I looked around to see that I wasn't in my room at the guest house. The room was huge, big enough to be a small apartment minus a kitchen and a living room. I looked over at the door when I heard it opening to reveal Tyler's mother. "Oh, Mrs. Amoria, how are you?"

"I'm fine dear child," She said. "Never mind about me, how are you feeling? You've been out for three days!"

I panicked. "Three days!"

Mrs. Amoria shushed me. "Calm down little one. It's normal for that to happen after an Alpha marks his mate. Good thing Tyler was knocked for only a day after you marked him. Thank goodness you two passed out on the bed!

"I also heard that you're dealing with one of your spirits who returned to you after you locked them away?"

I nodded. "It's complicated but my wolf Danger explained it to Tyler already since I wasn't in my right mind when it happened."

She tilted her head. "Your wolf's name is Danger?"

I nodded again.

"Huh, that's an interesting name for a wolf!" Mrs. Amoria said, "Normally most wolf names are human names for the most part. But then again you are rather strange and I mean that in a good way considering you're also a Celestial."

"Yeah, everything's been so weird, new and confusing lately. I take that back about the only thing that hasn't been confusing is how I feel about Tyler," I said.

She smiled. "Ah yes my dear! Love is such a wonderful thing isn't it my dear? It drives you crazy one moment and then the next moment you're in total bliss."

I looked to see Tyler standing in the doorway after he cleared his throat to get our attention. "Well it's about time you woke up, Trinity!"

I tilted my head. "Trinity? Last time I checked my name was Mary."

"Your birth name was Mary," said Tyler. "But your birth name has been archived. Every time that happens to a Celestial they have to go by the name that they've been given. So now your name is Trinity!"

"Trinity huh?" Mrs.. Amoria said, "I don't know about you but I like that name! It's the perfect name for our future Luna because I have yet to transfer my authority over you!"

At that moment for whatever reason I got a small splitting headache. I looked around to see a white light and in front of me stood a copy of myself. My copy smiled at me. "Hello there Mary! Or now I have to say it's Trinity!"

"Okay…" I said. I had no idea what to say or even think at the moment.

My copy reached out her hand to me. "Come on, shake my hand and seal the deal."

I did as I was told and bright light disappeared along with my copy and the surroundings of Tyler's bedroom came back into focus.

Tyler frowned. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, looks like I just sealed the deal," I said. "My name is now Trinity."
