Hanging out with the strange trio was different for me. We talked a lot about boys. They thought about any question to ask about the boys. When I say anything I mean anything.

We have been hanging out for four days and they met Casey and instently bonded.

"Hey." Jagger says as he steps in my room.

"Hey." I whisper and he sits down beside me.

"Do you think we can pull it off?" He asks and I lay down.

"Depends on how far we take it." I say and he lays down too.

"How far are we taking it?" He ask and I sigh.

"All the way?" I say and he looks at me.

"Do you want to? Erin that means pups and marriage." He says and I shrug.

"It could work." I say and he laughs emotionless.

"Could? Erin do you want it to work?" He asks.

"Yes." I say. I do but I don't. Some part of me really does think Cooper has changed for me.

"Really?" He asks and I smile.

"I do have feelings for you." I say and he looks down.

"What if I find her?" He asks.

"I don't know." I say and he sighs. I lean over and kiss him.

I stare at my mom with dead eyes. I raise an eyebrow and sigh."Mom it's a wedding and a mating thing not that important." I say and she looks at me like I just stabbed her.

"Not important! My only daughter and my new Alpha/Luna is getting married! It's a big deal." She shouts.

"Mom please." I say and she glares at me.

"Erin you are having the dress,the cake,the ceremony,and anything else I want you to have!" She says and Lucy laughs.

"I'm out of here." I say and start to walk out.

"We need dress day!" Mom screams. I see Stark and he smiles.

"Having fun?" He asks.

"No. How have you been?" I ask and he sighs.

"We being neglected isn't fun." He says and I tilt my head to the side.

"Who is neglecting you?" I ask and he looks at me like really?.

"You Erin. You're neglecting me." He says and my mouth opens and then closes.

"Ohhhh!" I say and feel bad."I'm sorry I forgot." I say and he shrugs.

"Been busy." He says and I hug him.

"I'm sorry." I say and he sighs.

"Erin I'm fine but this isn't going away." He says and points to the mark.

"I don't know why." I say and he moves away from me.

"It's fine." He says and walks away.

I walk outside and my stomach is hurting. I see Jagger and realize I need to act like I would if Cooper were here. I run and jump on his back.

"Hey beautiful." He says and I see twelve through eighteen year-olds doing push ups.

"I missed you." I say and kiss his cheek.

"Missed you too babe." He says.

"My mom is bugging the crap outta me and your mom is just laughing." I say and hear a few kids chuckle.

"Laughing? What is she doing?" He asks.

"She says I have to have a dress and I have to do this and that." I say and he adjusts my weight.

"Oh no she can't be telling the truth," he says sarcasticly.

"Alpha?" A twelve year-old girl asks.

"What?" Jagger and I ask together.

"Hun you're not an Alpha yet." I say and Jagger huff.

"Why do I have to be nineteen and you had to be eighteen?" He asks anf I laugh.

"I'm a special case." I say.

"I've known that for years." He says and I look at the kid.

"What?" I ask.

"I was talking to Jagger. Can I go to the restroom?" She asks.

"Why?" Jagger asks and she shifts uncomfortablly.

"Go." I say and she runs off.

"She is a half wolf she need the training." He says.

"And she has periods." I whisper and he makes a face.

"Got it." He says and I laugh.

"The many reasons why I love you Jag." I say and he freezes.

"What?" He asks.

"Jagger you heard me." I say.

"What do you mean?" He asks.

"I love you." I whisper and kiss his cheek.

"I love you too." He says and sets me down and kisses me.

"Awwwe!" A few girls shout and the boys grumble.

"Oh shut up you lugs." Jagger tells the boys.

"It's not that great." A fourteen year-old says.

"Not that great? Wait until you meet yours." Jagger says and pecks my lips.

"Sure." He says and keeps doing push ups.

"I'm going to take a shower." I say and kiss his cheek.

"See ya later." He shouts. I run to my room and hop in the shower. I can live with this. I do love Jagger. How much? I don't know.
