The picture above is the anime version of Lucas! This picture isn't mine! It was given to me by @phoenix-2! I'm not an anime fan, but this reminded me of Lucas too much. Why? Cuz he fits Lucas's description amazingly, and he's super HOT.

Max's POV-
Bright light. Thats all I could see when I woke up this morning. Groaning in frustration, I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes and sat up in the bed I was in. Wait... how the hell did I get here? Where the fuck am I? I whipped my head from side to side, taking in my surroundings carefully. I took a breath of relief when I realized that I wasn't in a hospital of any kind. I was in a bedroom, with white walls, two large windows that made up one wall. The opposite wall had had two doors, one that led out of the room and the other to most likely to a bathroom or closet. It was a nice room, but unfortunately the bed was right next to the window, that had no curtains, so I was being blinded by sunlight. Nice thing to wake up to in the morning. At least the windows gave a nice view of the forest.
I looked around the room again and saw my staff and duffel bag in a corner. I got out of the bed and went to my bag, opening it and pulling out some clothes. A simple white T-shirt and a pare of grey gym shorts. I walked to one of the doors and see that its a bathroom/closet combo. It had a huge stand-up shower, a giant tub, and a double sink vanity with a white counter top. The walls were painted white too. These wolves sure like white. I decide to take a shower since I haven't had one in days and I probably smelt like the forest. (But not in the good way.) So I went and grabbed a pair of boxers from my bag and sat my clothes on the counter and turned the shower on, with the heat up almost all the way up. After about ten minutes or so I stepped out feeling a shit-load better. I dried myself off and got dressed, then walked back to the room to throw my dirty clothes by my bag. I went to the second door and saw that it led to a hallway.
I stepped out, closed the door and sealed it with a special protection spell, that way no one could go poking around in my things. I wouldn't want any young pups drinking a dangerous potion or playing with my staff and breaking it, or accidentally use magic with it. But they would get away with it, I mean, most pups don't know any better. But still, just to be safe. But I most certainly didn't want anyone messing with my stuff with bad intentions. Let's just say... I would make their lives a living hell. And this protection spell is special, because since my magic put it up, only my magic can lift it.
I made my way down the small hallway until I reached a gigantic living room. Complete with 2 large black sofas, 1 chair, a giant flat screen TV on the wall facing the sofas, a giant window making up one wall that led to a balcony, and a small kitchen with an island off to the side but still in the same room. I didn't take a good look yesterday because I was exhausted and I had to talk to Lucas. But my breath was taken. The space was gorgeous!
Speaking of Lucas, I wondered if he was awake or not. It was still early in the morning, so he was probably still asleep. Deciding not to wake him, I went to the bedroom I woke up in, lifted the protection spell, and poked through my duffel, taking out the rest of the food I had packed in it. There wasn't very much left, but I still took it and threw it in the trash can in the kitchen. It was all probably expired anyway.
Re-sealing the bedroom door, my stomach growled, making me realize how starving I was. So I went to the fridge and looked for anything good to eat. Bacon? Fuck yeah! I hadn't had bacon in weeks, so I decided to make the whole package. I looked around for a frying pan and saw a box of pancake mix. Screw it, I'm making them too. I thought I saw blueberries in the fridge. Blueberry pancakes? Duh! I found a couple of frying pans and turned on the stove (thank the gods that it was gas, electric stoves take too long), and put some of the bacon in one to cook, while I started whipping up the pancake batter, tossing in a few handfuls of blueberries.
As I was wrapping up and turning off the stove, I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around to Lucas standing on the other side of the island, with nothing but sweatpants on, showing off his glorious 6-pack and delectable pecs. I must have been staring for too long, because when I met his illegal beautiful blue eyes, it was his turn to give me the "like what you see?" look.
"Shut up", I muttered, spinning back to the food, blushing hard, now very flustered. He laughed.
"Do you?" he asked, being flirtatious. My face got redder. Damn him! He's too hot! I can't deny it now!
"I made breakfast!" I said, hurriedly changing the subject. He chuckled but didn't ask again. He already knew the answer though.
"It looks and smells great", Lucas said, looking over my shoulder.
"You don't get any", I replied, barely keeping my voice neutral. He smirked and raised a brow.
"Is that so?" he asked, slowly creeping his hand to the bacon. Oh HELL NO!
I lightly smacked his hand away with the spatula. Like a drama queen, Lucas started to act all hurt and heartbroken. And like the evil person I am, I was cackling like the Wicked Witch of the West. Big mistake to let my guard down. Because in 2.5 seconds, Lucas had the spatula out of my hand, had me pinned to the floor holding my hands above my head, and was tickling the shit out of me. I tried to push him off but he was too strong for me, and laughing my ass off uncontrollably didn't help either. I was laughing so hard small sparks were shooting from my hands.
"What about now?" Lucas's husky voice rang in my ear. He stopped tickling me to let me catch my breath. Panting, I internally smirked. This. Is. War.
"Nope", I said, smugly. He grinned playfully.
"Oh really", he asked."Well, you asked for it". Lucas was about to start tickling me again, but I froze him just in time. Luckily, I can use my magic through my eyes. As my eye's irises went from white to blue again, I looked at the position we were in and immediately got flustered. He was right on top of me, his back arched so he wouldn't flatten me, one hand holding my hands above my head, his bare god-like chest inches away from my face, and one of his knees in between my legs. Yeah... not suggestive at all. He realized the position we were in too, even though he was frozen, and his face started to turn light pink. I quickly composed myself before a certain body part on both of our bodies came to life, got my hands free, and crawled out from under him, taking a deep breath before letting out a small giggle.
"Gonna keep it up?" I asked, as if nothing happened."Or are you going to stop and eat breakfast with me?" Lucas let out a small grunt. I laughed.
"That's what I thought", I said while unfreezing him. He caught himself before he hit the floor and jumped to his feet, wearing a fake pout. I grinned and stuck my tongue out at him. I went back to the food and and I'm happy I turned the stove off before Lucas tackled me. Wouldn't want to burn the house down. Or worse, burn the bacon. I split the food onto two plates by putting a mountain of pancakes and a pile of bacon on each one. Dumping a ton of syrup on the pancakes, some dribbled onto the bacon which made me happy. Bacon and maple syrup. *chef's kiss* (Why am I so weird?) I took the plates and sat one in front of Lucas, while I sat sat beside him with the other one. He stabbed a pancake and popped a bite into his mouth. He chewed for 2 seconds before groaning. Him doing that made me want to test his ego more.
"You hate it, don't you?" I asked, sarcasticly pretending to be hurt. Lucas stared at me like I was insane. He swallowed before answering.
"Are you nuts?" Lucas asked, his eyes wide and both eyebrows raised. "These are some of the best pancakes I've ever eaten! Don't you dare say that I don't like them!" All while he's saying this, I'm trying not to laugh. He's just too adorable.
"Can you not tell I'm being sarcastic?" I asked, almost failing to keep a straight face. He opened and closed his mouth a few times before glaring at me. That was it. I busted up laughing at the look he was giving me. He's too damn adorable!
"What the fuck is so funny?" Lucas asked, clearly holding back his laughter. Instead of answering him, I just kept laughing. MAYBE 30 seconds later he was laughing with me. Oh his laugh, it was pure music to my ears. I would give anything to hear his laughter. (Damn that's corny.) Wait... am I falling for him? Am I giving in to the mate bond? I think I am. And I love it! It's crazy, but in the VERY short amount of time I've known Lucas, I feel as if I can be my real self with him. I feel comfortable when I'm around him. I mean, why wouldn't I be? 1. I'm his other half and he's my other half. 2. He's really sweet. 3. He's dramatic but in a good way. 4. He's extremely thoughtful. 5. Have you seen this man? He's so fucking handsome! And his 6-pack, and those pecs! I almost drooled! 5. He made me realize that not all werewolves are savages, like the ones that killed my mother. Oh shit... here come the bad memories. The flashbacks started immediately this time. The part where the wolf bit my mother's neck was the most vivid. It always was. I tried shoving the memories to the back of my head, but with no luck.
I must have had tears in my eyes, or Lucas had sensed my despair and panic through the mate bond, because ever so suddenly, he had me wrapped in his arms, holding me close like last night. I buried my face into his bare chest, letting the tears fall. As all of this is going on, he rubbed my back, and whispered sweet things into my ear. After a few minutes I calmed down and stopped crying.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Lucas asked me, concern laced in his voice. I buried my face into the crook of his neck.
"Maybe later", I responded. "It's too painful right now". He nodded in understanding, still holding me close, kissing me on my forehead. Sparks ran through my body, making me shiver from where his lips touched my skin but I secretly loved it. After a few minutes of much needed peaceful silence, Lucas broke it by whispering-
"Want to go to town with me later?"
