Chapter 8

I lift my hand and turn his head to face me. " Why would they hate you, and what don't they believe you about?" I ask.

He sighs and backs up away from me. My hand drops to my side as I watch him back up.

" Take a good look at me. Tell me what you notice," he says.

I'm still very confused, but I do as he says. I look away from his face and down his body, I can see every muscle, his tan skin.

I then noticed something different about his pants. I squint to see them better. They look like... I gasp. They look like pants to a prison uniform.

First a prison break at Alpha Conan's pack, then he shows up. Then he did not want to talk about where we were, and he wanted to stay moving. It all makes sense now.

" Your — you're a prisoner from Alpha Conan's pack," I said, shocked. I am shocked by this new information, but he doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would do something to get arrested.

He nods and takes a hesitant step towards me, looking as if he was afraid I'd run from him. " Please don't be scared of me. "

" Now why on earth would I be scared of you?" I say.

He looks surprised by what I said. " Your not scared of me?" he says.

" Of course not. By the looks of you, you look like the type of person who would rather protect people and keep them safe rather than do something that would get you arrested," I say.

He lets out a small laugh of relief. " Oh my gosh, you have no idea how happy that makes me. I didn't do what they said I did. I was framed for it and put in that prison without getting to explain what really happened. "

" I believe you," I say, smiling.

He then rushes forwards, and I let out a yelp of surprise as he captures me in a huge hug, spinning me around in a circle before placing me back on the ground.

" You're the best, you know that," he says.

" Well, of course, I knew that," I say.

He grins. " Is there any other question you want to ask me?"

" What did Alpha Conan arrest you for?" I ask. " And how come when I'm around your sense of power?"

" Those questions I can't quite answer just yet, but like I said, I will tell you over time. I promise. " he says.

I nodded, he said he would tell me over time and I believe him, I trust him.

I know I may seem crazy for trusting someone I barely know who just so happens to be an escaped prisoner, but I couldn't care less about what other people think.

I believe him and that's all that matters.

Now I asked my main questions. Now time for some of the basic questions.

We sit down on the grass. " What's your favorite color?" I ask.

" Grey. It just seems like a cool color and my wolf just so happens to be that color. So I'm happy about that. What about you?" he says.

" Blue," I say right back.

" Like my eyes."

" Yes, like your eyes," I said, grinning.

"OK, next question," he says, grinning as well.

" Have you ever had a girlfriend before?" I ask.

" No I haven't. My mother told me when I was young that mates were made to be your soul mate, that no one would ever be better or even compare to what your mate would be like. I wanted a girlfriend in my young teen years, but I didn't ask anyone out, and I turned down those who asked me out. I thought my mom used to be wrong, but now that I'm older and I've met you. I realize that she was right all along," he says. I can't help but to smile sweetly at him.

" My mother told me the same thing, so I've never ever been on a reflation ship for that reason," I say.

" Then let me do this the simple way. Amber, I know we just met, and you have no reason to trust me, yet you do, and ever since we met I haven't been able to keep my mind off of you or my thoughts away from you and myself from dreaming about you when I sleep. Amber," Will you be my girlfriend?"

The way he said it sounded close to how someone would propose to another. I thought it was cute though, and I knew my answer before he even finished talking.

" Yes Conner, I will." I say.

A huge grin spreads across his face and I can't help but giggle at it.

We sit back and talk for a while, staring at the night sky. We ask each other questions about us, you know basic stuff.

Soon my watch goes off, letting me know that my dad will be getting up and leaving in two hours. I tell Connor, and he takes me all the way back to my backyard in wolf form.

I thanked him and kissed him on the top of his wolf head. " Bye Connor. I'll come back to see you tomorrow night at the same time," I say.

He does a very soft yelp, knowing that my family was sleeping, but I know that help meant yes.

I then smiled at him and took off into my house, and up the stairs. I then looked out the window just as his wolf took one last look at me through the window before he took off into the woods.

I quickly changed into my pajamas and hopped into bed. I slept for a few hours, but it was worth staying up late. I got to learn more about my mate.

But I'm dying to know what he was arrested for and why I sense power when I'm around him. Looks like I'll just have to find out in time like he said, and I can't wait for that.

After that last thought, I drifted off into a deep sleep for the hours I was able to get with nothing but a smile on my face.
