ArcherWeeks pass, but something is so off with Riley. I don’t know what it is. Throughout the summer we got really close, and I thought we were on the brink of turning into a real relationship. Things were easy with her, it’s like spending time with my best friend. We haven’t gone too far yet, but honestly, that’s because we keep getting interrupted.Every single time we almost get intimate something happens.Maybe it’s fate that it hasn’t happened yet. Maybe we’re not supposed to until after she knows that we’re mates.I’ve been hesitant to tell her, I know she still has some trauma from Zane, and I need to prove to her that I’m not going anywhere, no matter what.She knows that life in a pack isn’t guaranteed safety so I don’t think that it would be the rogue attack that’s bothering her so much, but maybe I’m wrong. She is a human; she doesn’t fully understand these things.Homecoming is today. Riley already said yes to being my date and so far, we’ve got a pretty good group going.

ArcherWhen I got into the back of the limo with Riley, I’m excited for the opportunity to spend some time alone with her. Lately, we’ve been spending a lot of time with our friends and don’t get me wrong, I enjoy doing that. But… I miss having alone time with her. Lately, it feels like we’re more like friends than we are a couple.It’s like we took one step forward then two steps back. I need to get us back on track. Lately, Brandon and Caleb are on my case because they think that I should tell her that we’re mates. They think she’ll view it as a betrayal if I don’t. Honestly, I’m scared of what her reaction will be. I’m not sure if she’s fully over Zane and I don’t want to overwhelm her.I put my arm around her and I smile as I turn to say something to her, but I find her head turned as she looks out the window. Her eyebrows are furrowed and she frowns softly and it makes me wonder if I’ve done something to upset her or if this is all because of Breanne spilling a drink all over her
