Sometime in the middle of the night, the boys came back and Reed carried a sleeping Kelly back to their room and Wyatt slipped into bed next to me. I managed to stay up till 11pm and we ate our food and drank the soda as we watched ’50 First Dates’. It felt good to just be a teenage girl again and not have the weight of the world on your shoulders. Wyatt was running his fingers through my hair as I pretended to still be asleep. “I know you are awake princess.” Wyatt purred in my ear “I don’t want to be though!” I said as I snuggled in a little closer to his chest. I heard his chuckle from his chest. “Everyone is here and ready to see you. Breakfast is on the table and people are waiting. I let you sleep as long as I possibly could” “Everyone?” “Yup, Everyone from our pack, my parents, Brooke, Zach, Justin, Maverick, everyone.” “Did you guys get the video done?” I asked as I untangled myself from him. I watched him watch me stretch so I

Wyatt advanced toward me slowly as his eyes ranked up and down my body. I kept looking at his face as I started walking backwards till my back hit the wall. I don’t know why but I suddenly got really insecure. My body is not like what it used to be. It was covered in scars and yellow bruises that were almost faded. My skin was no longer flawless. The stitches had come out this morning finally and all that was left was an angry red line. Wyatt put both hands on the wall, adjacent to my head. He lowered himself so his eyes were level with mine. I kept my body flushed against the wall and my chin held high. “You forgot to close the door. I feel how insecure you feel about yourself. Let me show you how I feel about our body.” Wyatt whispered as he moved to my ear. Slowly, he traced his tongue around my ear lob and behind it to my neck. He let his lips barely touch my skin, leaving goosebumps in their wake. He made his way to my mark and kissed it causing sparks to shoot through

The kitchen was busting at the seems as everyone was trying to get some food and find a place to sit. Most had moved to the actual dinning room but some are still lingering at the counter tops. The staff had prepared almost everything you could think of; cold cut sandwiches, pastas, hamburgers, quesadillas, and a variety of salads. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised as the war will start tomorrow and there a lot of guest for the day. “Mom and everyone are outside on the patio eating, lets grab something and head out there?” Wyatt said almost yelling at me so I could hear him. I just nodded yes as I made my way to the food. Looking around, I settled for a basic cold cut turkey on wheat with lettuce, mayo and green peppers with barbeque chips. Wyatt chose a hamburger that was loaded so high, I doubt he will get it all in his mouth with one bite. He also had chips to go with it. We made our way to the patio and sure enough, everyone was out there. Wyatt’s parents, Brooke,

“I, Kelly Evens, denounce my ties to Alpha Paul and to the Smoky Wolf pack” Kelly brought her hand up and inhaled sharply as she gabs her heart. Alpha Paul also winced but kept his composure. “I Reed Weston, of the Dark River pack, accept you, Kelly Evens as a member of our pack, my mate, and my Luna” “I, Kelly Evens, accept you Reed Weston of the Dark River pack as your mate and as your Luna” “Take the knife and cut your psalms and let your blood drip into this challis” Alpha Paul said as he grabbed an antique ceremonial challis and held it under their hands that were clasp together. Reed took the knife first and sliced his hand, letting a few drips of blood all into the cup. Alpha Paul handed him a grab of fabric that he fastened around his hand. Kelly then took the same knife and cut her hand. She winced a little but otherwise didn’t make a sound. She also let a few drops of blood fall but Reed took the fabric and fastened it for her. “As you guys

A silent yet adrenaline filled hush fell on the cabin of the plane as it slowly made its’ stop. The lights went out and everyone was waiting for the command to proceed. Reed stood up and started to exit the plan with Wyatt and myself behind him. Watching myself walk from my mind is crazy. I felt like I needed popcorn as the anticipation was overwhelming. For no reason other than it felt right, everyone was crouched down as they exited in a hurry and ran to the near by forest for cover. Reed gave the nod and everyone began to strip down and change into their wolves. It will be a much easier track if everyone was in their wolf forms and that was, if an attack is to happen, we would be prepared. Raven went behind a tree and stripped down. I could feel the warm breeze hit my skin still but yet it didn’t feel like it. I saw the air around me shiver like steam coming from a warm bath as Raven crouched down. A hot white pain erupted from the core of me but was gone a few seconds la
