When the movie was finished I realized that she had fallen asleep. I was in two minds about what to do. Diana had put clean linen on the guest room bed but I couldn’t bring myself to take her there. I picked her up and walked up the stairs to my room and placed her on the bed and covered her with the duvet. She sighed in contentment and wrapped the duvet around her tighter.I stood under the water of the shower as the steam rose and tried to reign in my hormones. I had a plan. I was going to climb into bed next to her and see what her reaction would be like the next morning when she woke up. I wasn’t going to touch her, but I also couldn’t not be there next to her.“I hope you don’t mind,” she said as I walked out of the bathroom in pajama bottoms while pulling a T-shirt over my head.She was sitting upright in my bed, her clothes on the wingback chair and wearing one of my T-shirts. I could see it was big on her but I smiled and liked that she felt comfortable enough to open my cupbo

Ilana left late on Sunday afternoon, saying goodbye a few times before she actually climbed into her car and drove away. I knew it would take her almost an hour and I waited before sending her a text. The weekend had been perfect and Caleb had stayed away, only sending me texts to ask if I’d eaten.During the day we were both busy and I had another appointment with Ronald about our contract in a few days. I planned on surprising Ilana at work and waiting for her to finish her shift. It was official, I was in love. I was in so deep that it should’ve scared me but it didn’t. I wanted it all with her.I missed her in my house and in my bed and it wasn’t just the sex. I missed her presence. Diana had only looked at me oddly when I told her not to wash the pillowcases. Ilana’s scent helped me fall asleep at night.I didn’t see her again as she told me that her finals were coming up and she needed to study. I respected that and gave her the space she needed. Being a student and working wasn

Two weeks went by agonizingly slow. Ilana was still ignoring me and I just couldn’t get past that. She read my texts but didn’t reply. She rejected every phone call and the times that I went to her house, she hadn’t been there. I left groceries by her front door every few days and the next morning when I woke up for my jog, the groceries were on my porch.‘Stop sulking,’ I said to Gray as he let out another howl filled with misery. I felt his pain and loneliness. I missed her too, but other than physically kidnapping her, there was nothing I could do. He was ignoring me again, filtering through every now and then just to howl before shutting me out again. We were both depressed and sad. I had no appetite and I struggled to sleep. I didn’t drown my sorrows in scotch like I normally would because the pack still needed an Alpha. I was constantly thinking of how I could get her to listen to me.Winter had really settled in and it had been snowing the whole day. Temperatures were falling

Gray pushed through more and more to talk to Ilana and I loved the fact that we had no more secrets between us. She’d been living with me for a month and she and Diana got along really well. I knew it was only a matter of time before I had to tell my family about her and officially introduce her to the pack.“Hello,” I answered my phone as I sat behind my desk in my office.“I might have mentioned you have a girlfriend to Kai,” Levi said.“Might have?” I asked.“Okay, I told him about Ilana,” he said.“That’s just great, Levi,” I said and I knew he was somewhat smiling.“No time like the present,” he said and ended the phone call.It was nearing dinner time and I left my office and found Ilana and Diana in the kitchen as they laughed about something while preparing dinner. I loved how comfortable Ilana was, how she got along with everyone she met. “We can talk after dinner,” she said and I smiled.She had this way of knowing what I was thinking and oddly enough she could hear Gray wh

That night, we lay in bed, getting our breathing under control. Her head was on my chest and her hand was dangerously low on my hip. She had her last exam the next day but I could tell that she wasn’t nervous or worried about it. She was prepared.“What’s bothering you?” I asked her. I was so in tune with her emotions that we sometimes didn’t need to speak at all.“I don’t want anybody to get hurt,” she said softly.“They’re itching for a good fight. We’ve had peace for a long time,” I said with a smile.“Don’t joke about it, Christian. I feel like a burden.” She shifted her head to look at me and I cupped her cheek.“You could never be a burden. I’d go to the ends of the earth for you. I love you completely.”“I love you too,” she said and kissed me softly.A few days later I arranged to have a pack meeting. People were whispering but nobody asked me outright who Ilana was. It was time to put the rumors to rest and introduce her to them all. I knew what I wanted and that was a life w
