Emelia POV
I'm so happy the weekend is finally here. We are almost done with the painting of the walls. All that is left is the rooms. Ann and I are already at the apartment. We have been busy from 6am this morning. Yesterday was so fun. I don't know how we have gotten this far since we had about 3 paint wars. Hopefully, we are done by Sunday. Monday the semester starts then we will be really busy."What time does lover boy arrive" Ann decided that will be Keegan's new nickname. Why I don't really now. I don't think he is in love with me. It is still early days. I check my watch to see what time it is and I see it's already 8:30."Keegan will be here at 9am. And please don't call him that once he is here. He said that he will bring a friend along to help us move the furniture. Maybe one of us should do a breakfast run. Neither of us has had any food this morning.""Good call I will go and pick up breakfast. I will get something for lunch too. I know the boys will be hungry. We can discuss what's for dinner a bit later."Ann leaves and I walk towards my room to start packing away my clothes. I'm glad the university administration did not have any problem with us moving. She said that they need more rooms.Once I finished packing away the clothes, I hear a knock on the door. I see its Keegan and one of the guys that work with us at the restaurant."Hey, Em I hope we are not too early. I don't know if you remember Mason.""Hey, Mason. Come on in you guys. Ann just went for a breakfast run.""Hey Em. It's nice to see you again" Mason answers with a British accent."What do you need us to do?" Keegan asks."First we need to finish painting the rooms, and then we can move the furniture.""Let's get on it. Lead the way."I take them into the bathroom, so we can finish there first. Mason and Keegan start painting the bathroom while I go to unpack the kitchen. Ann and I decided that if we missed anything we will go buy it in the coming week. I hear the keys in the door and see Ann coming into the kitchen."Are they not here?" Ann asked with a confused face."They are busy painting the bathroom. I decided to start unpacking here otherwise the bathroom will be packed. Keegan brought his friend Mason. I think you remember Mason he is the one with the British accent. He was with us when we went to a club with all my colleagues.""Yes, I remember the hottie with a British accent."I just shake my head and take four plates out of the cupboard. I dish up breakfast."Hey, guy's breakfast is served," I yell and a few seconds later Keegan and Mason make their way into the kitchen laughing. Keegan takes a plate and I hand one too Mason. Keegan takes my hand, and we all sit in the kitchen-island."I have a confession to make. The reason I brought Mason is that he likes Ann." He whispers into my ear. I look over to Ann and Mason. Mason looks really shy and I have never seen him shy in the short time I have seen him. In our line of work, you cannot be shy."To be honest I think Ann likes Mason too. She called him the hottie with the British accent. I think they need to figure things out for themselves. I don't want us to meddle.""I think you are right.""So are you done with the bathroom?""Yes, we are."We stand up and Keegan helps me wash and put away the dishes."Now that we have food in our stomach, it's time to tackle the bedrooms. Keegan, you can help me in my room and mason you can help Ann in her room. Let's go, guys, we only have the weekend to finish this."I pull Keegan towards my room and I start painting. Keegan looks at me like I grew a second head."What happened to not meddling Emelia?""Don't look at me like that I did not meddle! I just gave them the chance to be alone together or do you want to help Ann in her room?""You have a point I would much rather be here with you."We both burst out laughing. We continue painting my room. I haven't had this much fun in a long time. We have been laughing and just talking for such a long time until I hear Ann yelling that it is lunch. Keegan and I walk hand in hand to the kitchen."Are you guys dating now? Why haven't I been informed? Em, I'm your best friend. You are supposed to tell me things like that." I look at her confused as hell, and she points to our hands. I pull my hand away from Keegan's."We haven't spoken about it yet. I didn't even realize we were holding hands it came naturally.""Will you be my girlfriend Em?""Look Keegan I like you. I really do. It's just too early to start thinking about dating. We don't know each other well enough. I mean we met like a week ago. Let's just see where this goes before we speak about dating."Have you ever seen a person's heartbreak? Well at that moment I saw Keegan's heartbreak. The light in his eyes just dimmed."I guess you're right, but can I ask you again in a couple of months." The hopeful look in his eyes made my heartache."Sure Keegan ask me again in a couple of months." The light in his eyes is back.We finished our lunch and went back to work. Things between me and Keegan are really awkward. I wish we can go back to how they were. I can hear Ann and Mason laughing in her room and I can't help but smile. They will look so cute together.We have been busy the whole day, and we are finally done. Everything is in their place which means I can sleep late tomorrow. The four of us decided we are going to order pizza and just watch a movie for the rest of the night.Half an hour later the pizza arrives. We have been arguing about which movie to watch and me and Ann just let the boys pick an action movie since we wouldn't be done with the apartment without them, and they decided they want to watch the new fast and furious movie.I must have fallen asleep because I feel myself being lifted into the air. I opened my eyes a small bit and see its Keegan carrying me. He places me on the bed and whispers in my ear."I really like you Em. I hope you will give me a chance."He leaves and I'm awake. I don't think I was meant to hear that. I lay awake all night and finally falls asleep thanks to exhaustion.Emelia POVMonday morning and the weekend is over. Luckily we can both focus on the start of the semester. I haven't spoken to Keegan since Saturday and maybe that is for the best. I need to get my head wrapped around the fact that it's only been a week, and he already asked me out.Currently, I'm waiting in the car on Ann. She is going to make us late on the first day. I hate being late. I love learning while Ann would probably party her life away. That's how it's always been. Ann trying to bring me out of my shell and me, trying to get Ann to be more serious."Don't tell me you're still thinking about lover boy. You know what you did what's the best for both of you. It is way too early to think of dating if you only know each other for a week. Go on a few more dates and then decide if you
Emelia POVIt's the weekend already. This week went by better than expected. After the miss hap with my parents, I must say the rest of my problems seem so small. Keegan and I decided on an early dinner and a movie so now I'm just trying to do my assignments before we go. Things have also been going better with Keegan. He has opened more up to me and for that I'm grateful."Em, how far are you?""I still have two assignments to finish. Why?" I look up from my computer to see Ann standing in my doorway. We decided that no matter what the time of night we need to just sit together and talk about our day so we don't lose sight of our friendship.
Emelia POVI wake up before Ann this morning and that is so unlike Ann. It's already 9 am. I go into the kitchen to make us some coffee. I knocked on Ann's door but nobody answers. I walk in and see her bed looks like nobody has slept in it last night. I go into my room and search for my phone and that's when I hear Ann trying to sneak in. I go stand in the hall and burst out laughing. Ann looks up."Jeez Em you scared the hell out of me. I thought you will still be asleep. Ok, I hoped you will be asleep." She starts laughing too."Well guess you are doing the walk of shame this morning since you are still in yesterday's clothes."

My father is the Alpha and told me I need to find my mate by the end of the year otherwise the Alpha title goes to my younger brother Sam Taylor who has already found his mate. In human years I'm 25 in werewolf years I'm 200 years old so I have been searching for my mate for centuries.

Emelia POVIt's been a month since we have moved to Pennsylvania and I have had the time of my life. Keegan and I have been moving forward in our relationship. We decided about two days ago that we are going to try the whole relationship thing and so far it's been great. Keegan sends me a morning text and a goodnight text. He is so sweet. I feel like I'm falling just deeper and deeper in love with him. He is everything I hoped for in a guy.Tonight is the announcement of who is becoming the next manager. Uncle Rave asked us about a week ago to write on a piece of paper who we would think is the best for the position and I nominated Amber. I know she has worked the hardest this last month. She deserves the position. I also asked unc
Emelia POVIt's our fall break. Ann and I decided to stay in Pennsylvania since it will horrible to drive home for one or 2days. Luckily I'm off today and we are invited to a party at one of Keegan's friends' apartments. Today is also the anniversary of Keegan's parents' death. I wanted to stay in but Keegan wanted to go, so I agreed and asked Ann to go with me. We started to get ready for the party. Ann picked out a red skin-tight dress for me with red high heels while she dressed in a black dress. I decided to do a dark smokey eye. We both curled our hair and went to wait for the boys.Ann rode with Mason in his car while I rode with Keegan
Emelia PovIt's been a month since that horrible day. I still get nightmares almost every night. I went to the police the next morning but told me they couldn't do anything about it. I shouldn't have taken a bath because I washed away all the evidence. I feel so stupid. I haven't spoken to Keegan this month. I tried to stay away from him on campus. I also don't work at the restaurant anymore. I went to speak to Uncle Rave about the whole incident and he understood why I couldn't work there anymore.The last week I have been sick. I have been throwing up continuously. I figured that it's because I haven't eaten too much since the incident. Ann is really worried about me so she made me an appointment at a Doctor. We are currently sit
Derric POVI stood up this morning and decided I'm going to ask out Emelia. We have seen each other every day for the past month in the library. I also haven't seen that human with her for the past month so I am assuming that they broke up. I only have two months left before I have to take over my pack. I see her and her friend leaving. I know it's creepy to follow her but it's the only way Luca stays calm. I follow them and see that they are stopping at a doctor's office. I don't know who is sick and that makes me worry. What if Emelia gets sick? There is no way I will be able to keep Luca away from Emelia then. He will want to look after her.
