Brain POV It's the day we get to leave this place. It wasn't all bad, but I'm glad it's over, and I won't have to leave home for this long ever again, I hope. I finished my packing and checked on my room, mate Travis he had made a good suggestion. He has to pass through Tennessee anyway on his way back to Kentucky, so he suggested swinging by and visiting before he headed home it sounded perfect to me, so i agreed. We headed out the door, and I told him I'd have to stop and buy gifts on the way home. I decided on gift bags so I didn't have to wrap them.He was following me in his car and we were leaving town when I saw a sign for shops and decided I my as well go take a look. In the first store, I found a gift for my mom and sister. Nothing fancy, really just some scarfs for my mom she loves scarves, and for Bri, I found a nice bracelet and watch set that I think she'd like. As I was leaving, I saw this necklace and ear ring set that was so beautiful it had blue gems, and they were ro
Annalise POV I am not sure how all of this could have happened. This is why we thank the moon goddess so much. Just the idea that you could find the one person you're meant to be with is crazy enough. Then you add that somehow someone's twin finds, there perfect match, and in my case, she found me and brought me back to a real life. I don't know what Brian would have done if hed found me in a tent in the woods homeless on a beach.What if I wasn't attractive like that or he found me dirty and smelly so he left me there alone. I don't know about anything else, but I'm glad he found me now and not before. I know he still knows about everything, but knowing and seeing are two different things in my book. We are all following the Alpha and Luna somewhere, although I was so lost in thought that I wasn't sure where we were going. I'm only this calm because he's holding my hand as we walk. The sparks and tingles danced along my hand. Brian POV I'm secretly freaking out a little, not becaus
Brian POV When she runs from the room, it tears me up inside. I know it sounds weird. I only know what my family had said about her, but that's so much more than enough. She's sweet and caring she's hard working and always wants to do her best. I heard how well she does in her workouts and training. This is so much more than most people know about their mates when they meet them. I also know she's resilient and strong. She may be the most amazing person, and she was meant for me, but here I've messed it up before it could even start. Bri is staring daggers at me, and I can't help but look down in shame. I breathe deep a few times, and I look back up, and I say to my sister, " You were right. I regret it all, and it only took one look from her to hate myself. This hurts knowing I've caused her to feel bad, and I'm going to do anything to make it better. I should have just been nice because she was your friend and you cared about her but I was too worried about what she could do to you
Annalise POV I know this may sound mean, although I hope it doesn't because everyone has been so amazing and done so much for me. Then I saw this gift and I almost can't breathe it's beautiful and I just can't wait to wear it. I want to put it on now, and I'm just in jeans. I want to wear it constantly, I smile thinking about this gift about what it means that he got me something. That's just it though did he do it because he wanted to or because he felt forced. I wonder if it was like me. I saw it and thought yeah I need to buy that for him." How did we both know something the other would like, though? He's staring at me like he is looking at the sun or an idol like he only sees me and no one else. I am about to say something when he opens his mouth and says " I'd understand if you'd rather say no I don't deserve you in anyway right now but I was hoping you'd let me take you on a date. Don't let the fact I've asked you in front of our parents sway you they would understand if you sa
Annalise POV The day was nice and normal. We all hung out, and then Travis left. I noticed Bri was not that sad, and she seemed preoccupied, which confused me a little. Then Brian said he needed to get some stuff together for our date. So I decided to take a swim and then wash up before the date. I haven't picked an outfit yet, but I know I'm wearing the jewelry he bought me. So something blue I know that much, at least. I link Bri and ask,' Can you help me pick an outfit for tonight?' she says ' yea I'll swing by before the date' feeling better knowing she will be helping me. I go for a nice long swim. It feels good to exercise and stretch my muscles. I need to do more workouts while I'm on this break. I sigh and get out of the pool, and I head to my room it's almost six, and I want to hurry and wash up. I go probably way over board, but it's been so long since I've been on a date, and this one may be the most important one I've ever been on. I want it to be perfect, and if I don't d
Annalise POV The next week Flys by in the best way every day I wake up to Brain at my door. He asks me to go out and we go everywhere. The movies on Tuesday,a play on Wednesday, a late night carriage ride on Thursday, and then Friday, he took me to a skating rink, and he taught me how to skate it was so much fun. With each date lasting longer than the last till Saturday when we didn't even sleep. We went to a club to dance and it was amazing. We danced till we almost dropped then we danced some more. After the club we went to eat at a cafe and we talked about nothing really and it was perfect. We went on a long walk, and then we wound up going to a place that does bike rentals, and we peddled all around town. It was amazing by the time we looked at our clocks again it was almost lunchtime, and we laughed bc we left the house last night at six thirty, so we have been gone over twelve hours. We decided just to stay out, and we just went around looking at the sights until it was time fo
Brian POV I woke up with her in my arms again, and I've never been happier than I had the past few days. Her heat should be ending soon, and I'm just hoping she wants to move into my room permanently. She can redecorate it and everything. I just want her with me always. Today, however, if she's up to it, I'd like to let Knight meet her wolf. He won't stop asking, and I know they've talked, but they haven't had any physical meeting, and that's not fair to them since their mates, too. I'd also really love to see her wolf. My sister says she's beautiful, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited to meet her. Her arms pull me closer, I look down and smile as she leans in and kisses me.I can't believe how lucky I am as I hold her tight and ask, " How are you feeling today?" She sighs and says," Umm, hungry but ok, other than that. " I nuzzle her neck and kiss my mark, which makes her moan." And your heat, do you think it's over? any pain? you're not hot right now, are you?" she seems to
Brians POV The wolf's weres playing probably about to go for round three when we all heard noises coming from the trees behind us. Loud growling came from around us in every direction, and the smell of rot or trash hit my nose. Rogues are gross they smell awful. The scent is hard to place, but it's bad, and while some rogues are fine, most can't be trusted. Then there is the fact they are surrounding us and growling. I am not sure if we can handle them all alone. There are eight already, and I think I hear more in the trees. I quickly link the guards and warriors as they are on the way a nude man walks out of the trees. He looks around and says " I'd like to request a meeting with the Alpha of this pack and since I seem to have him and his mate I'm assuming surrounded or maybe even at my mercy I'd assume your ok with it?" I growl loudly, making it clear I'm not in the mood he continues." Oh, of course, you can't talk to me. I'll just do the talking then if that's ok?" He laughs and st
