Benjamin finally turned back into his human form making Alec and Sam more at ease. His body had healed a lot but he still had some bruises and his back was getting scars from the whipping lashes. Alec and Sam always checked on his wounds everyday so they knew that they were healing nicely.

After another day went by Benjamin woke up, looking around the room. He wasn't in that much pain as before and he sees Alec asleep next to him. Ben smiled and cuddles up to him hugging him. Alec moves slightly and wakes up looking down at Ben and smiled brightly seeing Ben's eyes opened. "You're awake" he says quietly as looks down at him. Ben nods looking up at him "I'm awake....did it work?" He asked him curiously. Alec nodded sitting up hugging Ben "it did you shifted into your wolf form. You had to rest in that form for five days. Well six days now." He says to him petting his hair as Ben laid his head on his chest. "Long time....well then, how do I change into my wolf form then?" Ben asked him curious about how it worked. "I will teach you when we get home okay, right now you should relax, eat, and shower. Okay?" He rubs his arm gently. "Okay Alec" he says to him and sits up. Alec gets out of bed and wakes up Sam before getting clothes for him and Ben. "Ben's awake Sam" he says as he turns to him as he woke up from the couch.

"Oh hey Ben glad your finally awake." Sam says rubbing his eyes and looking at Ben. "Hey Sam, when did you come?" "The day after he changed you." Benjamin nods in understanding as Alec came over with clothes for the two of him. "Sam can you go out and get some food for Ben while we shower." Alec asks him as he helps Ben out of bed. Sam nodded "yeah sure I'll be right back". He says to him as he puts on his shoes. Alec smiled and brought Ben into the bathroom. He turns on the shower and gets undressed. "I'll help you wash up, okay Luna?" Ben nods smiling, "okay Alec, thank you". Alec smirk and got in the shower with Ben. "You're welcome, let's start washing your body first". Alec says and grabs the soap and starts washing Ben's body. Ben blushes as he got shy, they rarely got naked in-front of each other. "We should be heading home soon. So that way we can have you safe and sound." Alec says as he washed Ben's body. Ben nods as he let's Alec wash his body.

After they both showered and got dressed, Sam came in with some fast food for Ben. "Here Ben I got you a chicken sandwich from McDonald's. Hope you like it, we'll make you something better when we get home." Sam says giving him the food and a bottle of water. Ben takes it and sits down on the bed, smiling softly. "Thank you Sam" he says and starts to eat the food. Alec sat down and watched his mate with a smile on his face. He was so glad that Ben finally got to eat. "Ben, you continue eating, we are going to pack everything up. We're going to go leave back to home after your done". Alec says and Ben nods in response. Sam and Alec start packing, while Ben ate his food. When everything was done the three were ready to go. Sam went down to the front counter and paid, while Alec goes with Ben to get a taxi.

Ben and Alec put the luggage in the taxi, as Sam comes out to join them. "Are you ready honey?" Alec asked wrapping his arm around him. Ben nods "yeah I'm ready" he says softly. Alec smiled and pecks the top of his head, he opens the back door for Ben to get in. Ben gets in as Alec follows and Sam got in the front with the driver. Sam tells the driver that they need to get to Legton. From there they would get another taxi to go to head to their hometown. After an hour or two they got to Legton and Alec instantly became more alert of Amos and Rebecca being around or the rest of the Windpaw pack. Sam gets out and pays the driver before getting their luggage out. Alec keeps Benjamin close and gives him a hat so it would be a little bit harder to see his face. Although he couldn't hide their scents well it would at least help with hiding his visual identification. The three quickly head to a store to hide out at as they wait for their next taxi to arrive. As Ben looked around with Alec in the store Alec put an arm around him protectively. Glancing around sometimes as he felt like there was eyes of them, but his second thoughts were that maybe he was just paranoid. Sam goes over and tells them that the taxi has arrived. The three quickly headed out and got into the taxi and traveled to their own town. What they didn't know is that Legton had a lot of places owned by the Windpaw pack, that included the store they were in. The cashier recognizing them and told Amos.

As they stopped on the road near the forest that they lived in, Sam paid the driver and grabbed their luggage. They wait for the driver to leave before they started walking into the forest on the walking path. As they walk through the forest Sam stops them and Alec pulls Ben close. "What is i-" Ben asked but was cut off by Alec shushing him. Sam turns into his wolf form and growls getting himself ready to fight. Alec pulled Ben back towards a tree to have some sort of protection. Suddenly Sam gets tackled by another wolf as other wolves come out of hiding. "Stay here if something happens run" Alec says before turning into Dan. He runs and helps Sam fight off the other wolves. Benjamin screams as a wolf was coming towards him. He runs out of the way and starts running away from the wolf. Ben would like to change to Luna to run faster but he doesn't know how. He doesn't know what it means or feels like to change on his own will. Alec noticed him being chased and tried to leave to go help him but he was tackled by three of the six wolves that was attacking them.

Benjamin continues to run until he was cut off by another wolf infront of him. He falls down when he was trying to stop himself running at full speed. Ben scrambles to start running away to the left but gets cut off again. Both wolves circles around around him as Ben tries to figure out how to save himself. Amos comes out behind the trees and smirked at Ben. "Well, well, well, Alec hid you well for the past few days." Amos says as he came closer. "He must have turned you didn't he? Your scent is stronger then before......how about we see it?" Amos says and gently petted his head like he was petting a puppy. Ben moved away from him, "what do you mean?" Benjamin asked him confused. "Your wolf, lets see it, see how good you look". He says getting closer to him. "I-I dont know how to" he admits as he backs up trying not to get close to the wolves that was showing their teeth. "Oh poor little mutt, Alec didn't have time to teach you didn't he? Oh well I guess we'll never know what your wolf looks like. Rebecca, Thomas, lets kill him". Amos says moving away from him and turning into his wolf form. Benjamin felt his heart drop but he was instantly running to try and get away. Thomas tackles him and bites his arm as Ben had put his arms up to protect himself. Ben screams in pain and his eyes tears up. His arm started to bleed as Thomas's teeth went in deeper. Suddenly Alec and Sam came over and gets the wolves away from Ben. The two fight them off as Ben sits up holding his arm in pain. Ben looks up and sees all nine wolves fighting Sam and Alec.

Alec and Sam was loosing the fight getting bitten and scratched. Ben was feeling hopeless he didn't know how to turn to help him. He then started to feel angry, he didn't know why but he was angry at Amos and Rebecca. His uncle and his cousin too, he was angry at them as well. Even though one was dead and the other he didn't know where Jared was. But he was angry at them. Then it started to happen, he was turning into Luna. He growls as he turned into his wolf form and he just let his anger do whatever it wanted. Which was tackling Amos off of Alec or Dan. Luna was just doing what ever he wanted to attack Amos. Biting and clawing at Amos as Luna growls and snarls at him. Amos was caught off guard but he was still fighting Luna. Dan saw Luna and ran at full speed at Amos and slams him up against a tree. Luna bites down on Amos's neck and makes him start bleeding. Rebecca noticed and attacked Luna getting him off Amos. But Alec grabs the back of her neck and pulled her off. Sam howled loudly as betas from their pack had came and started helping fight off the Windpaw Wolves.

Amos growled as he communicates to his wolves to back off and to leave. He got up with the rest of his strength and the Windpaw wolves stopped fighting. Rebecca gives the evil eye to Luna and Dan before leaving with the others. Dan comes over to Luna and brushed his face against Luna's, licking his face. Sam turns back into his human form and told the Betas to make sure that the Windpaw pack was actually retreating. Luna and Dan traveled back to the house as Sam went to get their things that was left behind. As Luna and Dan came to view everyone was shocked to see Benjamin in his wolf form. "Alec you changed him?" Alec's mom asked surprised. She didn't think it would happen. Alec changed back to his human form and looked down shyly. "Y-yes mom, he wanted to be changed, he wouldn't be able to heal his injuries quickly as a human." Luna soon changed back to his human form and he holds his arm that was healing a little but was still bleeding. "Come on Ben we need to patch you up, and you need to rest". Alec says wrapping his arm around him and gently holds his other arm with his free hand. Guiding him to Charlie, "Charlie do you mind helping us out". "No problem let's go to my doctor's office", Charlie says with a soft smile. "Alright thank you", Alec says as he goes to lead Ben inside but was stopped for a second by his mom. "Tell me everything after, we need to have some plans in place". His mom says quietly and Alec nodded. He goes with Ben inside to Charlie's office and they both get their wounds treated.

After that Alec takes Ben to their master bedroom and lays him down in bed. "I'm really impressed, you fought really well in your wolf form." Alec says petting his head gently. "I don't even know how I changed. I just felt very angry at them when they were hurting you". Ben says looking up at him. Alec just smiled and looked away from him holding his hand as he slowly frowned. "I'm really sorry, for everything, I was really stupid, I put you through this, and made you change so early. I'm feeling a little selfish Dan really likes Luna in wolf form." He says and kissed Ben's hand. "I'm still mad at you for lying to me." Ben says huffing out annoyed. "But I'm a little glad that I changed. I don't feel scared or anxious like I did before thinking about a day I have to turn." Ben says squeezing his hand gently. Alec smiled and looked over at him. "Thank you for saving me." Ben says to him as he played with Alec's hand and hold his hand again. "No problem, I have to have my mate safe or at least alive". He says to him feeling bad that he really didn't keep him safe. Ben sits up slowly "Alec, I was thinking when we were traveling back here. I thought about it and I want to marry you. So that way you don't have to protect me anymore." Ben says to him holding his hands. "Really? Are you saying this because of the events with Amos before all this happened." Ben shakes his head in response. "Probably not because I probably would still be scared about everything in your world. But now I would have to change cause I'm different now, I can't be scared of it cause now I'm part of it."  Benjamin says and before Alec could say anything Ben pecked his lips shyly. Alec smiled "can I try something, and don't runaway from me". He says and Ben nods, "okay"? Alec smiled mischievously and kissed him on the lips.

"Repeat after me, do you Benjamin Pierce take Alec Jones as your Mate, to take care of him in sickness and in health, to stay loyal and stay by his side till death?" Alec's mom asked Ben. "I do" he says looking towards Alec smiling happily. "Alec Jones do you take Benjamin Pierce as your Mate, to play with him, protect him, and stay by his side till death?" Alec's mom asked her son as he starred at Ben with heart eyes. He didn't respond so Alec's mom cleared her throat. Ben giggles as Alec looked over at his mom in confusion. "Do you take him or not"? She asked annoyed at her son being in his own little world. Even though she was secretly amused that her son was so love struck with his mate. "Oh uh I do", he stutters out as he looks over at Ben. "You may now kiss your mate". She says and Alec smiled kissing Ben deeply not caring about the others that were cheering for the two. Sam was smiling and clapping with the rest of the pack feeling proud that his childhood friend had gotten married. But he knew after the pack's private wedding he would have to inform Alec and Ben of some important news. It couldn't be said whether it was good or bad but Amos had died two days ago. But for right now he wanted them to be happy and not care about anything, cause it was a big occasion for the new married couple.
