*Annabelle's POV*

After a few days of relaxing, we woke up early to catch our flight. Adam was grumbling the entire time, he disliked airplanes. They were too small for anyone above 6ft. It didn't help that our total travel time would be ten hours, since we had to switch planes once.

Cade had been a grumpy mess too. He wanted to shift after ten hours stuck in a plane, but sadly, we still had a four hour car ride till we reached my parents, and then we'd have to meet them.

We had a rental car, we'd be staying in Oregon for a full week, and we didn't want to be an inconvenience to my family.

We would be staying at my parent's house. I had told them about Adam ahead of time so they could prepare the guest room, another thing Adam wasn't a fan of. Sleeping in separate rooms for a full week. We weren't going to tell my family that we were already living together. My mother would have a heart attack.

We had been driving for around 2 hours when Adam caved and Cade took over.

"Let me out of this metal box!" Cade had suddenly yelled.

I glanced at him and almost had a heart attack; he had already shifted partly. His claws were out and fangs were present. I immediately parked the car on the side of the road. Thank the lord it's basically just forest here. 

"You could have just asked." I pointed out as Cade excitedly opened the door.

"I tried! Adam wouldn't listen!" Cade growled as he shifted all the way. Let us pray no one was close enough to see him shift.

"You can mind link me Cade." I chided.

Cade paused as he looked at me with his pretty wolf eyes. He then let out a grunt. 'I forgot.' he confessed softly.

I chuckled, "Don't get lost out there."

Cade jumped back in the car and gave my cheek a lick. I scrunched up my face in disgust. 'I'll stay close to you, mate. Link me if anything is up.' he linked before he jumped out of the car and started to paddle off into the forest.

"I will. Have fun." I mumbled as I was still trying to get his slobber off me.

Cade turned his head and gave me a wolfish grin. 'I love you, mate.' He linked before running off.

'I love you too.'

Thirty minutes later we were back in the car with a very grumpy Adam. He didn't like it when he failed to keep Cade at bay.

We reached my parent's around 10PM. We had gone through the Mc Donald's drive thru to eat dinner. Both Adam and I were exhausted. I had driven most of the way. Adam still wasn't used to driving much. He told me he wanted to drive more though, so he had driven an hour so I could rest.

I smiled as I saw my parent's house. It was a nice two story house and my mother took good care of the front yard and garden. She had flowers for every season, including Fall. Right now, some pretty purple flowers were in bloom.

As soon as Adam and I had rang the doorbell my mother jumped me. "Oh Anna I'm so happy to see you again! It's been too long!" she sobbed in my shoulder as I gave her reassuring back pats.

"I missed you too." I spoke softly as I glanced at my dad, who's eyes were already on Adam.

My mother pulled away from me and shifted her attention to my mate as well, "You must be Adam!"
