I stared at him. "Are you OK?" He asked again. His face was so close that i could feel his peppermint breath hitting my face. I nodded and stood up, still wobbly from his stare. My grandmother rushed over. " Oh so you met Ruben?" I looked at her and nodded in disagreement. "I guess..." Ruben smiled. " Ruben, meet my eldest granddaughter, Rosalie. Your bride." "What?!" I said loudly causing the others to stare. My grandmother suggested that we talk in private away from prying eyes, so she led us to the kitchen. I sat on the counter and put my head in my lap. " Rose i know this is alot to take in but we need to unite our packs and you being the oldest and my granddaughter its your job." I glared at my grandmother like she had lost her mind.

He held on for a second and then let go. Rolling over on my stomach i stood turning back into a human. "What was that for?" I screamed. The wolf transformed. Ruben stood up and wiped his forehead " Your were moving to0 fast i was afraid you didn't see the trap set there." I turned and looked up the pathway. there, covered in a mass of red and brown eaves was a silver metal trap. I cringed at the site, "thanks" i said in a shy whisper. "No problem, mate." he shook the grass out of his Long black hair. " do you really want me to be your mate? i asked. my face was burning as his beautiful eyes locked on me. "of course, for the sake of my pack." He grabbed my hand " you will be perfect." he smiled and pulled me along. i followed him back to the house. He held my hand gently but all of the sudden it got tighter. I could sense a wolf nearby but could not see it. Could it be....
