Chapter 21             Oh my goodness I'm so excited. I did not sleep nearly enough last night. I may need a cup of coffee and I don’t even like coffee. I hope the adrenaline will keep me going. The last thing I need is to fall asleep on the first day of school.            Over the weekend we had a small party for mine and Jacobs sixteen birthdays. Jacob and I got new cars for our birthday.  Mom and dad asked us if we wanted a huge party or our own cars. Of course we choose cars. I chose a new 2020 Jeep Gladiator in candy apple red. Jacob chose a 2020 Dodge Ram 1500 quad cab. Angel and her mom joined us for ice cream. After dinner I made arrangements with Angel to pick her up for school. Mom thought it was a waste for Jacob and me to take two different cars to school so we decided to take turns.     &nb

Chapter 23   Bobby spun me around so fast I became dizzy. My knees gave out on me and I was about to fall to the ground. But Bobby had his muscular arms around my waist hold me up. He took the weight off my legs so I could get them back under me. What was he thinking? What would happen if Robert saw this boy holding me? As quickly as I could I regained my composure and stood on my own feet with my own power. ‘Bobby what are you doing, I don’t know you, and I already told you I'm waiting for my mate.’ I told him in his mind, all the while not being able to take my eyes off his. “Penny, don’t you feel that? Don’t you feel what we have? Why were you avoiding looking at me in class?” He said out loud but quietly so only I could hear him. ‘For your information I was not looking at any of the boys. And I have no idea what you are talking about, feel what?’ I said back to him. “Well I do forgive you, you are new and I know you are still

Chapter 25   After art class with Mrs. Ruiz as our teacher I was ready for the day to end. I was so tired of Angels new attitude, and most of all I was tired of talking it was making my head hurt. I never had to have so many conversations my brain was not used to this. I have never used my link so much in one day with so many people. I found out later in art class Mrs. Ruiz didn’t bother waking Cody for sleeping in class. Turns out she is a member of our pack, and she knew Cody. Not sure how she knows him, but I think she his aunt or something. After art class was lunch, and I was starving. Mom had put money on mine and Jacobs’s accounts, so we can buy lunch each day. Lunch time was the first time I got to see Jacob since this morning. I didn’t even see him in the halls between classes. I stood in line with Bobby behind me holding me. He had his arm wrapped around my waist. Kind of protective like. Rubbing small circles with his thumb on the smal

Chapter 27             Bobby sat outside my bedroom door for over half an hour before he started to talk to me. He wanted me to open the door. But I lay on my bed in wolf form, I had no intension of changing back yet because my wolf was helping me cope and this form kept everyone out of my head without me trying.“Penny I don’t understand why you ran from me, can you please change back and talk with me?” Bobby kept talking to me.“Penny do you remember the night we met?” He paused and I shook my head yes even though he could not see me.“I remember like it was yesterday. When you just so gently touched me my skin sparked and was set on fire. It was a good fire; I felt warm and safe and loved. In that moment I knew you we were mates.” He stopped taking a few breaths.“I could remember your smell, your eyes everything about you I loved

Chapter 29             Bobby and I followed my father down the stairs to the living room. We held each other’s hands the entire way. It was nearly the evening by now and if I had to guess it was probably six in the evening. When we reached the living room the giant grandfather clock chimed six times making my guess correct. I was momentarily impressed with my guessing capabilities. Dad sat us down on the same couch as earlier.            Mom looked more refreshed then last time we talk, she must have calmed down considerably during the time I was freaking out. I think my parents knew why I was upset and knew it would all end well. They must want me and Bobby to be together, but it bothers me when dad calls him Robert. I was brought out of my thoughts when dad started to talk.“Ok, well we all know that there are people who are
