Chapter Three

We make our way downstairs where Ryan stood at the bottom of the stairs talking to some guy, he sensed I was there and looked up at me his mouth hanging open. I smile knowing our plan was working as Gabbie leads me outside to where the party was.

"Step one is complete," she says when we're fully outside hearing the very loud music with a bunch of people dancing, I didn't know I knew this many people.

"Make your mate see how beautiful you look," she says smiling taking a drink off the table handing it to me. 

"What's the second step?" I ask as a few of our friends walk over wishing me a happy birthday,  she shakes her head. 

"You'll just have to wait and see," she says before she turns to talk to one of our friends off to the side.

I look to the back door to see Ryan standing there looking at me with his hands in his pockets, he didn't look that happy, Gabbie looks over pulling me aside so I'm forced to look away from Ryan.

"You'll ruin the plan! just keep up you don't care about him act it'll work, but we need a guy to flirt with you," she says looking around the huge crowd of people, but I had a bad feeling growing.

"We shouldn't be doing this, it's upsetting mate," Sky says wanting me to leave, I actually wanted to listen to her. 

"Gabbie isn't gonna drop this, don't worry nothing will happen I won't let it," I say back to her but a guy trying to grab my made me rethink what I just said " actually maybe you're right we need to leave," I say to sky totally taking back what I just said.

"Gabbie I don't want to find a guy to flirt with me, "I say as she starts guiding me through the crowd? my wolf still wasn't happy telling me to leave.

"You don't find them they find you" she smiles as we stop near a group of guys who immediately started to stare at us.

"Go to mate!" Sky shouts but Gabbie had a tight grip on my hand so I couldn't.

"See it's working" she smirks making me just stare at her totally shocked, she's never acted like this before. 

We chat for a second as a guy passes me a drink, I was so stupid to take it from him but at the time I wasn't thinking. 

After about an hour I felt so sick and dizzy I was just falling around, I've drunk before but I've never felt like this,  the guy from before just kept giving me more and more drinks which just made me feel even worse. I slowly walk over to the edge of the party my mind just everywhere  

"I'm taking us to mate right now," Sky says as I nearly fall to the floor, my body starts doing its own weird thing taking me over to the house I look up and see Ryan, my body walking straight over to him. 

"Mates gonna look after you now," Sky says nicely before leaving going to the back of my mind.

"I feel ill," I say falling but he catches me before I hit the floor, once he touches me a million sparks flew all over my body making me feel the safest I've felt all night.

"Has someone given something to you?" Ryan asks holding me up, he was the only thing stopping me from hitting the hard floor.

"Gabbie took me to flirt with some guys, I didn't want to," I say holding tightly onto his t-shirt looking around at everyone else partying.

"It's okay let's get you some water," he says wrapping his arm around mine to lead me slowly into the kitchen. 

He sits me at the counter grabbing a glass from the cupboard filling it with water, my head was still spinning at this moment so he brought the glass to my lips helping me drink. 

"Thank you," I say laying my head on his shoulder as he takes a seat beside me "We're mates Ryan," I say randomly looking at the wall.

"I know we are," he says wrapping his arm around me making me feel safe once again.

"I'm happy Ryan, I'm just shocked and scared," I say just saying what was on my mind whatever I had stopped me from having a filter.

"You don't have to be scared, I promise I'll look after you, we'll take one step at a time," he says making me smile as I start drifting to sleep.

"I'm probably not gonna remember this conversation" I laugh feeling myself falling to sleep. 

"You won't but I will" he smiles that's the last thing I heard him say before I drifted to sleep, safely in my mate's arms.

~The next morning~

I wake up with an extreme headache making me sit up holding it in pain, I was sitting in my bed Gabbie laying next to me with her mouth wide open. I look over at the bedside table to see a note with pills and water beside it, I pick the note up to see it was from Ryan. 

"I figured you'd have a headache from how much you drunk last night, so I brought these up when I woke up

Ryan"

I smile a little placing the note in the draw taking the pills before jumping into the shower I didn't smell the best, I decide to wear a pair of dark ripped shorts with just a plain white t-shirt tucking that into the shorts. I put the bracelet that Gabbie got me on before making my way downstairs to grab something to eat, the pills that Ryan got for me had actually helped, my head wasn't hurting as much anymore.

I walk into the kitchen to see my mum and Ryan in there talking, I send them a little smile before taking a seat at the counter.

"How are you honey?" My mum asks as she sipped her tea smiling over at me.

"I'm fine," I say not looking up at any of them as the phone rang my father shouting he'd answer it.

"Got any plans for today?" My mum asks me again trying to make conversation with me, she probably knew the way I was acting was because of the stuff I found out yesterday about being adopted and how they all knew Ryan and I were mates but never told me.

"Gabbie wants to do something when she finally wakes up," I say as my father walks in quickly grabbing things from the cupboards.

"What are you doing?" Ryan asks but he doesn't answer and  just walks out my mum follows suit as they both leave the house leaving Ryan and me in the kitchen.

"How's your head?" He asks making me look up at him with a smile.

"It's alright thanks to whatever pills you gave me" I smile as he passes me a bottle of water.

"They always work for me so I figured they would for you, I actually got you something for your birthday but I didn't have the chance to give it you, wait here I'll just get it," he says before he gets up running upstairs leaving me alone in the kitchen where out the window I could see all the mess from the party.

Within a few minutes, he walks back into the kitchen holding a little box in his hands. 

"It's not much," he says passing it to me, I slowly open it to see it was a necklace in the shape of the moon it was so nice.

"It's a special kind of necklace it's what a male wolf gives to their mate to show other wolves that you're theirs before they mark each other, I know you're gonna want to take things slow so this is here so we can take as much time as you want, but others will still know that you're mine" he smiles taking it from me while moving to stand behind me to help me put the necklace on.

"It's beautiful thank you" I smile turning around to look at him once it was on, I turn the necklace to the other side to see both of our names engraved in the back with the infinity symbol in between.

"The only person that can take it off is me, try taking it off" he smiles, I try but it won't budge it felt like it was glued on.

"Only your mate can take it off" he smiles making me smile at how happy he was.

"Thank you," I say wrapping my arms around his neck as he wraps his around me.

I hear someone walking downstairs making us all apart, Gabbie walks in looking between us.

"Let's go out to eat," she says before she turns and walks out

I smile to Ryan before following her out the smile not leaving my face.
