I close my office door for the day and go to Noah's.His door is wide open and I can see him putting all the patient's files up in the filing cabinet and locking it up."Hey Noah are you done for the day?"He stops what he's doing and answers, "Yup. I finished a little earlier today because I have to go get ready for dinner. Rachel invited me over," he explains."Oh she did? Well she invited me too, but I'm not sure that I want to go.""You should. It would be nice to have you there." He rubs the back of his neck. He often does that when he's nervous."If you change your mind. Maybe you can go with me? I don't really like to be a third wheel, so I always turn them down. It's just uncomfortable to me. If we go together we can be each other's company and..." I start to giggle and he stops talking."What? Did I say something funny?" He looks at me with a confused face. He is so adorable. "You're rambling. But I would love to accompany you," I reply. He gives me a huge smile that's show

Elena's POVThroughout the day I engross myself in work trying to forget my interaction with Pierson this morning.He was right. I was angry at myself for reacting the way I did, but I wasn't going to admit that to him.When he touches me I forget about the past. It feels like we're the only ones there in that moment. It feels so right. I used to daydream what it would be like if he had chosen me. Where we would be now and how different our lives could've been.I shake my head clearing my thoughts. I don't want to be thinking about him. I should be thinking about my date with Noah tonight.Just thinking about Noah makes me smile. Maybe something can happen between the two of us. I know I wouldn't mind it. He's the kind of guy every girl dreams about having. When I finish up with work I lock up and head to my room to get dressed for tonight. I look through my closet and decide on a navy blue floral lace dress that has a rounded neckline and three quarter sleeves. I pair it with some

Today the pack has decided to throw Noah a twenty-eighth birthday party. He didn't even want one, but I told him he deserved it and the pack just wanted to show him how much they appreciated him for all the good work he has done around here.I told him I would meet him there, so currently I'm walking to the kitchen towards the big French doors that lead outside to the backyard where the party is being thrown.As soon as I walk out I can hear chatter, laughter, and music. The party is already in full swing.People are scattered around the enormous backyard in groups mingling and drinking while others are at the buffet or dancing to the loud music being played by the dj. Lanterns and fairy lights are placed around the perimeter of the yard illuminating the clear night sky and a huge banner stretched across the entrance way reads "Happy Birthday Noah."My eyes scan the yard looking for the birthday boy himself. It doesn't take long before I'm able to spot him. He must've felt me lookin

"When you walked into class six years ago and we locked eyes I couldn't be happier that you were my mate," Pierson begins.It's so weird to think back to that day. I remember that feeling too. It was the best feeling in the world. It felt so invigorating and like something I have never felt in my life. "I always found you quite interesting. You were so quiet when you lived in the pack house and after your mom died you just disappeared. At school I would steal glances at you and always had this weird fascination to know more about you. To know the mysterious blue eyed girl who sent my heart racing everytime I even thought about her. When you walked into class and I felt the pull I wasn't surprised. It's like I always knew you were supposed to be with me. The universe was just confirming it," he confesses.My chest squeezes tight and I feel dazed. I still have so many questions to be answered, but I know I should let him continue."But then I remembered Rachel..." His eyes stare intens

Pierson's POV I take my dad's advice and head down to Elena's office with twelve long stemmed roses and a box of chocolates.When I arrive outside the door I start to over think my plan. I look at the contents in my hands. Isn't this to Valentinsey?Before I can turn around and back out I hear a small voice behind me, "Pierson?"I turn around and am met with those gorgeous blue eyes."Hey Elena. I was just looking for you."She looks to my hands. "I got these for you," I tell her while handing each item to her.I scratch the back of my neck nervously. She looks a little confused, but I can see her small smile. "Thank you. That was very sweet of you." "You're welcome." She sniffs the roses. "So I was wondering if you wanted to go get something to eat with me?" I ask her.She stops her action and freezes. Now she looks nervous. Her mouth opens once and closes."We can just go as friends if you want. Just a quick bite, that's it. It doesn't have to be a date," I add. She looks at me,
