Annalee’s P.O.VForgiving Zeke for the outburst was the easiest decision of my life, he cared about me and he made me feel safe, that one moment of weakness and poor decision making wasn’t going to change that. His behaviour wasn’t okay, but he knew that. Spending the day after the party training, talking to Hunter, playing video games and gossiping with Evelyn was one of the best days I could remember, and I wasn't as bad at the video games as Zeke made me out to be.Monday came and trying to pay attention in class was difficult, this afternoon I would be going to Evelyn’s store, she was going to show me around and train me. At the packhouse I wasn’t allowed to even talk about magic, they were all convinced I would try to kill them or something stupid. But Evelyn and Walter embraced that side of me they wanted me to learn more and grow into both halves of myself. They weren’t making me choose because they knew that being a wolf and

Zeke’s P.O.VWhen she fell in my arms after her wolf came, I didn’t want to let her go, ever, she belonged there, in that moment I knew she belonged to me. I know we don’t know who our mates are till we turn eighteen but something inside of me knew it was her so did my wolf.Walking into school we went to our locker getting everything we needed for class.

With that thought I wanted to test the theory I had of her belonging to me. Admittedly pull

Annalee's P.O.V I felt free, running through the trees with the moon shining guiding my path, all the pain all the hurt from the past vanished. None of it mattered in this moment, I was not the unwanted child, I was powerful, strong and wild running with the dirt under my paws, and Zeke running behind me. I was safe. When he caught up to me, he pounced, crashing into me playfully and rolling on top of me. My wolf licked his check, he growled approvingly while I nuzzled into his soft under fur. Taking advantage of his distraction I pushed myself up and flipped him so I had him pinned under me. He was bigger than me and more skilled at being in his wolf form but somehow, I managed to best him in the struggle for dominance. He however did not seem surprised, or upset I sensed nothing but pride radiating from him. Licking him affectionately I took off through the trees again. We ran for hours, till our bodies could not push on. Finally we collapsed together in a heap and snuggle
