After spending time talking to Amora I find myself at a loss as to who to meet next. My mind is still reeling on what she said about Dante so I find myself wanting to seek him out. Knowing that Amora is most likely still watching me I look for somebody else that looks welcoming instead. Quin is standing next to a female wolf that has a rather sweet look about her. She has brown hair, green eyes, rather short and seems like she is just easy to talk to. Walking up to them I look at her and introduce myself, "Hi, I am Laina."
"Oh well all know who you are." She says taking my hand. "It is wonderful to finally meet you myself though. My name is Scarlett, and I believe you have already had a run in with my mate, Quin"
"I did not know that you were his mate but it is nice to meet you. We honestly have not really talked besides him apologizing for trying to eat me when I was a bird." I joke.
"Yeah, I heard about that. He has a thing for chasing birds. I do not think he

I cannot believe that I fell asleep! Crap! I planned on going back downstairs when everyone came in. Walking over to the door, I stick my head out of my door to listen and see if there is any noise travelling up from the party possibly still going on. Hearing more voices and laughter I decide to slip on another pair of those comfy black pants and a shirt, then head back downstairs.As I walk down the stairs I notice that I am starting to recognize a few voices. Kevin and Quin seem to be joking around and laughing but I cannot hear Dante. Once I get down the stairs I look around at all of the people gathered in the room. Most seem to be in their early 20's and late teens. Scarlett is with a group of females that are watching a romance movie and doing each other's nails. Dante, Quin and Kevin are all huddled around a dart board invested in what seems to be a heavily competitive game of darts."Hey! Laina! Come over here and join our game!" Dante yells excitedly.

Waking up nice and early I glance outside to check the weather. It is nice and sunny for our run this morning. Excited, I run to the closet to grab some clothes for today. I wonder if I can find something stretchy enough that it will not rip if I shift in it? I do not really feel like getting undressed in front of the alpha when it is time to shift. Might as well just grab out an extra set of clothes for afterwards.Deciding to eat breakfast first, I practically skip down the stairs to find some food. Then I stop. I don't know how to cook. How am I supposed to make anything for breakfast if I cannot cook. "Hey, Laina! Come down here!" I hear from halfway up the stairs.I walk the rest of the way down the stairs and into the kitchen to see my saviour standing in front of me with a feast of food made up. Dante asks, "Are you hungry this morning?" As if on cue my stomach begins to growl so I just chuckle and sit down. Dante starts to dish out some poached eggs

Deciding to shower before we start watching a movie I grab some clothes and head into the bathroom. My head is still filled with the idea that both Dante and his mother could be right and that I am his destined mate. Dante told me once that I was his and his mother had hinted at it but until my birthday tomorrow it is hard to believe. Still, until the mating process has been completed I am nobody's mate anyways.While washing my hair I decide that I would like to get to know Dante a little better in case I am his mate. I mean, we barely know each other and I have heard that once you find your mate you don't spend that much time at first talking, if you know what I mean. If there is any chance that he is, in fact, my mate this would be an ideal time to get to know him as well.After I get dressed, I head downstairs to the smell of fresh pizza with the opening credits of The Lion King playing. Grinning, I look at Dante who is waiting by the food and say, "I didn't

I wake up to this delicious scent. It reminds me of my mother's cinnamon rolls fresh out of the oven. I leave my bedroom and walk downstairs without even looking at my hair or my pajamas. The smell is divine so I follow it in a daze. As I enter the kitchen I see Dante in there and oh my goodness, it is cinnamon rolls! He even made bacon to go with them. Then, just as I get ready to attack the cinnamon goodness, another scent hits me. It went along with the cinnamon rolls so well that at first I did not notice it. It has a slight vanilla and cinnamon swirl smell, kind of similar to a snickerdoodle cookie. As soon as I register this scent, I look up at Dante with my eyes wide. The smell is coming from him! This is absolutely amazing!Not being able to control myself, I leap at him. He catches me, chuckling. "I warned you that you are my mate. I can't believe it took you this long to notice.""Is that why you smell so amazing?" I ask nuzzling into him like I was in my wol

When Amora arrives to the packhouse I have finally built up my nerves enough to not want to bolt from the room. She knocks on my bedroom door and walks in when I call her. "Happy birthday, dear." She says."Thank you. This isn't exactly how I pictured my birthday to go. Hiding in my room, away from my mate." I say rather sadly."That is quite alright. After this you can go and talk to him if you would like. I did not realize with you being so young when your parents died that they had not yet told you about how the mating process works. I have had to give this talk to a few other young ladies in the pack a few times so I should be able to answer any questions you might have." She says nicely."Alright. I just want to know what I have to do." I say nervously."It is so much of a have to as what you are going to want to do later on. Whether you want to now or not, eventually your bond will drive you both crazy until you end up completing the bond. It'll be

After taking a brief nap, I decide it might finally be time to brave the rest of the house. I did not wait impatiently for my birthday just to hide in my room after finally finding my mate after all. Heading to the kitchen I find more cinnamon rolls still on the counter so I grab one and head towards Dante's office. Before I can even knock I hear him yell, "Laina, come on in."I walk in to the sight of him sitting at the desk, sorting through some papers. As I sit down across the desk from him, he looks up. "I am sorry if we scared you. I just did not want you not knowing what you will be getting into. I am in no hurry to complete the ritual though so please, do not worry about it. Everything is up to you. Right now, I am looking for my favorite cookie recipes though. Which kind would you like to make?" He asks.I had forgotten about making cookies but the thought makes me grin back, "Any. I loved cookies. Chocolate chip, peanut butter, monster, and sugar cookies. My f

The afternoon was spent fantastically just telling stories with Dante and getting to know him better but as dinner rolled around I found that I was not quite ready to leave his company. Luckily for me, he had other plans."So, I hope that you are not tired of me yet. I kind of made some dinner plans for us. I thought that you might like going out to eat for your birthday instead of having a big pack dinner." He said."That sounds really nice. Do I need to change or anything before we go?" I ask."No, it is nothing fancy. You look great just as you are anyways." He says helpfully.Blushing, I take his hand to get off of the couch and we head out to dinner. It is such a nice evening that we opt to just walk to the restaurant. Luckily, pack life means not needing vehicles much unless there is an emergency. Dante leads the way and we shortly arrive at a little Italian restaurant that looks nice and cozy. When we walk in they direct us to a table immedia

Waking up after the best night's sleep I can remember, I notice that the bed is empty next to me. Reaching over, I notice a note laying on his pillow. It simply says thank you for the great night's sleep and that he will be back at lunch after a meeting. Stretching, I notice a cart sitting at the end of the bed. Walking over to it, I lift up the metal lid to find an array of chopped fruits, bagels and some bacon. Grabbing a piece of bacon, I walk into my room to get dressed. After I have some proper clothes on, I go back to my breakfast. This is the closest thing to healthy I have eaten since I got here and my stomach begins to growl a happy thank you.Once my food is consumed, I decide to walk to Scarlett's house and see if she is free to hang out for a while. Luckily, Dante has a map by the door of everyone's residences so I have no problems finding out where she lives. It is only about a block away and the walk feels nice. I have not actually done anything alone sinc
