Frank’s POVWhen I drop Patty off at her door, I want to follow her in.“Hey, does the meeting with your mom need to be private?” I ask.Patty smiles, “No, want to meet back in the hall in 20 minutes?”I pull her to me, “we could shower together and go down on each other.”Patty’s eyes go wide, then her expression changes. I feel her heart, her pain through the very weak bond. “I’m not ready,” she whispers.I run my hand through her hair, “I know. I had a whole year of Susan cheating to get over it. I really just thought it was going to be my life forever. I never would have rejected her, until I saw the pain on your face. You never deserved that. I would be so proud to call you mine. But, I know you waited a long-time, knowing Alex was supposed to be yours. He knew for two years. Patty, I want to be here as you heal. I hope that even after the three days you will stay with me. We can heal each other.”Patty lets a tear fall and I wipe it away. “Thank you, Frank.”“I’ll always be here

Patty’s POVWhy am I waking up on Frank’s chest, again? After we watched Lethal Weapon 4, we watched the Die Hard movies. I fell asleep during Live Free. But here I am, in my bed, sleeping on top of Frank.“You wouldn’t let me leave. When I tried, you whimpered in your sleep?” A husky morning voice said.“Sorry,” I put my chin on his chest and look at him.“I'll be your pillow for life, if you let me,” Frank smiles at me, while he plays with my hair.“If I chose a mate, I never get my healing power, and without it, I can’t make the world a better place.”“You don’t need your powers to make the world better, you do that by existing. You are not just a special wolf; you are a special person. I was so jealous of Alex, he got you. He got the bravest, sweetest, strongest, most intelligent she-wolf the goddess ever created. Part of me is so happy he doesn’t have you anymore. He never deserved you, not on his best day.”I can’t help but crawl over him to get those lips. I swear, his kisses a

Patty’s POVI don’t wake up to the sun. Instead, I wake up to kisses.I moan, which seems to encourage the lips to continue.“Give me a hickie, and I’ll kill you,” I say.“But, I’m your mate, and you are mine. All mine forever,” I look up and see Alex’s face. His right hand is deformed from where I crushed it.“How did you get in here?” I ask, trying to move away from him.“I just came for what’s mine,” Alex pins me against a wall, as I catch sight of my bed. Frank is laying in a pool of blood. “I removed you from him, before killing him. Couldn’t have my mate covered in blood. Not until I’ve had my way with you.”“Stop,” I yell, and I try to get away.“Nothing can stop me. I’ll take you, then I’ll kill you,” Alex hisses and tries to stab me with a needle.Wait, I don’t feel any pain. He has me pinned, but no pain. This isn’t real. It’s a nightmare. Wake up, wake up, wake up!“Baby, baby, you are okay,” Frank’s voice is breaking through. “PattyCake, wake up it’s okay.”When I finally

Patty’s POV When Alex was banished from Lunar Road his mother was sad, but completely understood. I still don’t understand what Frank was trying to prove grabbing my face. He can’t be my second chance. I mean I enjoy him, his company, oh and his kiss. My wolf is still not ready to accept a mate. She loved Alex so much. We can’t feel or sense any mates. I feel empty without the ability I have prized since I was a small child. Marie has orbed us home and the first people I see are my sister Kate and her human mate Tammy. “You look great to have been through a rejection. You think if I reject Kate the two of you could help together?” Tammy jokes. She is a laugh through it type person. And honestly to live with Kate, she doesn’t have a choice but to be that way. “Ignore her ass,” Kate says hugging me. “What does ice cream and sappy movies not sound good to you?” I laugh. “Honestly, I’m glad Frank and I had each other. We got through the worse of it.” “And you are sure you didn’t

Patty’s POV“Goodnight, Frank,” I shyly smile.“Goodnight, baby,” he smiles back, and we hang up.“Patrica Wallace why didn’t you tell him you love him too?” Renee is grinning as she scolds me.I pull my knees to my chest as she sits on my bed.“I’m not ready yet,” I say blushing.Renee shakes her head. “You are so stubborn!”I lay back down and fall to sleep with my sister next to me.The morning brings training with Edward, Steven, Kass, and the Advanced Lycan Warriors.“Patty, let’s see what ya got,” Kass says, motioning me over to a large male. “This is Jern; Jern, Patty Wallace. Stances.”Jern smirks at me. “Loser buys dinner?”“Winner gets to pick the place?” I add.“It’s a date.”We fight and he can’t keep up. He’s slow and depends too much on his strength. I get my legs wrapped around his torso and arms around his neck.“Mercy,” he chokes out, as I tighten my grip.“I like steak,” I smile at him.“I’ll pick you up at 7.” He says, taking my hand and kissing it. It felt gross. I
