*Kelly's POV*"Are you sure this is okay? I know it’s kind of basic for a first date. We can always reschedule and I promise it’ll be better. More romantic” I spoke as we entered the ice rink.“Stop worrying. This is perfect. The romance comes from who you're with, not what your doing” she spoke, grabbing my hand.She looked so beautiful and I wanted nothing more than to pull her into my arms for another one of our mind blowing kisses.Whether it was because it’s been a while since we saw or it was just an effect she had on me. All I know is I didn’t want to release her lips from mine until I was on my last piece of air.We headed over to the counter and grabbed some skates.Sitting on one of the benches, I helped her lace them up before doing my own.She seemed pretty eager to get onto the ice as I watched her eyes follow some of the people out there already.“Have you ever done this before?” I asked standing up.“Once. There was a lake near my house and one time when it froze over,

“You need to calm down Anita. You're scaring some of the pack members and they look up to you for guidance. Plus the blood covering you isn’t really reassuring” my father said as I paced back and forth in the pack hospital.“I can’t worry about that right now. My mate is hurt and there is nothing I can do. I thought they were after me but, they wanted him” I let out.“Someone must have figured out he was your mate which meant they must have been tailing you for a while. They killed the two guards watching you which was what allowed the rogue to even get that close” Henry spoke.“Right now I don’t care much about the rogue. I just want to know if Kelly is okay. I told him to leave so he wouldn’t get hurt, but instead he stayed” I sighed, taking a seat.“He may be human, but that doesn’t mean he can’t feel the mate bond. Probably not as strong as you do but, he’ll still feel protective and he’s a man. It isn’t your fault, Anita” my father told me.“It is my fault. His life was normal be

*Anita's POV*“Then let me figure it out. Explain it to me. I don’t want to do something without knowing everything first. Let me into your world” he said.“No. You need to leave” I sighed, walking over to the window behind my desk.I stared out at some of my pack members as I rubbed my chest trying to ease the pain.“Anita, I’m not leaving until you talk to me ” he said determined.“I wanted to talk yesterday but, you didn’t seem happy with the idea” I mumbled.“I’m sorry but, it was all surprising. I didn’t understand what was happening” Kelly told me.“And you think now you’ll understand? You are a human. My world is totally different from yours so, you couldn’t possibly understand, okay?" I said, sounding dejected. "The sad part is that before yesterday I had hoped you would. Then I thought about it and things could never work out” I sighed.“Anita just give me a second chance, please” he breathed coming over and touching my arms.The familiar sparks danced across my skin from his

“Are you okay?” Kelly asked as we entered the pack house.“I’m fine. Now please stop asking me that” I spoke, flashing him a smile.“I just want to make sure. You looked a little on edge with Rose” he said.At the sound of her name, I felt a growl at the back of my throat.“I’m sorry if I scared you. My emotions are kind of all over the place with the mate bond. They won’t settle until we’ve sealed the bond” I told him as we headed upstairs.“Sealed the bond? What does that mean?” he asked confused.I led him into the guest bedroom I had on my floor. It was usually used for my parents when they stayed over.“As werewolves, we must claim our mates and mark them. This happens when we have sex for the first time. But since I’m an Alpha, there is supposed to be a big ceremony first where I introduce you to the pack as my mate. Then we consumate, like a marriage” I explained.“Oh” he mumbled as his skin flushed red and he blushed. It was really cute.“Are you okay? The ceremony won’t happe

I was dreading going to see my parents.Since everything with Anita, I haven’t really talked to them lately especially, my mom.I knew that I couldn’t go on like that which is why I had to come see them in person.Just to prove that I was ok.Taking a deep breath I got out of my car and headed to the door.I knocked before entering and stood there waiting.“Kelly, thank God! We were so worried about you! Where have you been?” my mom asked pulling me into her arms.“It has only been four days and I was busy with a work thing” I lied stepping into the house.“Don’t lie to me. I asked your father and he said you haven’t been over to the company” she stated crossing her arms.“Fine. I took some time off. I needed to deal with some things” I sighed.“Are you in trouble Kelly?” she asked.“No, I’m not” I groaned.“Then why have you been avoiding your family?” she asked.“Cause everytime I come over here your trying to set me up with someone.No matter how many times I tell you that I am fin
