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
Annalise POV Today was an amazing day, so much fun and bonding time for our wolves. Then the rogue thing was a little scary at first, but now I've learned a few things I didn't know . The first and most important thing is that pack members in our pack are just vanishing. I had no idea, and if I had, I would have wanted involved in everything being done for them. The other lesson I learned was that you can't always believe what you read because people play up the bad, and it is misleading. I had learned a lot about rogues in my lessons it was always they can't be trusted, and they don't care about anyone but their self. These rogues came on to a pack land in what could have been considered an attack to find help for their friends, basically their rogue pack members. To me, that proves that maybe some are like that but not all rogues, and that's a good thing to realize or understand. I can't wait for tomorrow's meeting and to learn more and get involved. I'm also just floating because s
Brians POV The meeting seemed to be pretty much over when Tom suddenly said, " Would you really let rogues join your pack? not that im saying i dont believe you, but not many packs would allow that." I look at my dad, who is obviously trying not to laugh, and I look at my sweet mate Anna and I Link her and ask." Do you want to tell them, or should i?" She laughs as she couldn't hold it in and she smiles and says out loud "sorry Brian said something funny" then she links me and says " I want you to tell it that way I can hear your version and especially right now since you have to tell the truth." I smile because little does she know that I really don't think I could lie to her or that I'd ever want to.I clear my throat and say, " Ok guys, sorry I had to get permission to share this story because it's not really mine. Back last January, I was at an Alpha training academy or camp, and my sister told me she had found a woman to be exact a rogue living in a tent in the woods. I wasn't ni
Annalise POV I was rushing to get ready to leave with Brian when I came out to Bri upset. I have absolutely no idea why she's here and looking so mad, and I look at Brian for any kind of answers. He just stands there laughing, and I say, " What did you do?" He laughs harder and Bri says " it's not what he did its what you did" Now im completely lost and I say as much " I'm not sure what's wrong right now" Brian absolutely loses it laughing so hard he can't breathe as he falls on the bed. I'm still confused but now getting upset, too, because no one is telling me anything. Bri rolls her eyes and says, " So I hear you're going shopping with Brian?" Then suddenly, everything falls into place, and Brian is still laughing. I shake my head and say, " Did he tell you everything he said to get me to go without arguing?" Bri sighs and says," No, but I've said stuff before, and you always complain about it. Why does he get no complaints?" I ecplain what he said to me and she says " fine but th
