Masks Unveiled

Early Morning Noises

*Rain's POV

I wake up and feel something on my chest and when I look down, I am glad that it wasn't a dream, my mate is back. I smile and kiss her head before moving her, so I didn't wake her and walked down stairs to make some coffee. I was making some egg whites, and toast when I felt arms wrap around my waist. When i turn my head, I notice my mate still half asleep, "I was gonna wake you up and bring you breakfast in bed precious," I say, and she smiles and shakes her head. "I smelled the coffee so I woke up, plus I can't sleep when you're not there," she says as she kisses my cheek and walks over to sit down.

"What is for breakfast?" she asks, and I say, "egg whites and toast," and she smiles and nods her head. I finish making breakfast and bring her food, "this looks delicious princess thank," she says as she pulls me close and kisses me. "Thank you precious, I'm glad you like it," I say, and she looks at me like she wants to ask me something, "what is it you want to ask me precious?" I ask her and she looks at me with a small tint of blush on her face, "nothing important but I remember something," she says. I nod my head as I wait for her to continue, "I promised my mother that when I find my mate I would marry that girl," she says, and I look away blushing.

I couldn't tell who was more flustered, me or her, "a-are you asking me to marry you Jun?" I ask and Juneau doesn't answer, "I like the traditions princess, I would ask your father before I asked you. Plus, I don't even know what kind of ring you want," she babbles on, and I can't help but smile. "Precious, if you want to ask. I don't mind telling you," I say, and she nods her head. "I always like the idea of a country wedding, but in the winter. Like a winter wonderland theme. I am not very traditional when it comes to dresses, so mine wouldn't be completely white. I would have blue in it," I say, and she smiles at me.

"That sounds like a very nice dress," she says and when she goes to say her phone rings. She looks at her phone and picks it up. "Hey Danny, what's up," she says, and I see her laugh. She nods her head and makes comments. She hangs up and walks back over to me. "Everything ok baby?" I ask and she nods her head, "yeah, Danny is one of the guys on the volleyball team I play on. He said we have a game coming up soon and we have practice tomorrow," she says.

"Well, then I guess I got to soak up as much of you as I can," I say with a smirk. She smiles and rolls her eyes, "so sleeping right?" she says and laughs. I hit her arm and run, "oh it's on princess," is what I hear as I run away. Even though I got a head start I'm short and she is tall. She is practically all legs, so she caught me quickly. "No fair," I say as she throws me over her shoulder. She laughs and throws me onto the bed, hovering over me, "well not my fault you are short and can't run fast now, is it?" she says with her southern drawl. One thing I learned from Josh is to mock her when she says things, "not my fault you can't run fast now is it?" I say with a fake accent. She looks at me and rolls her eyes, "you princess, have been hanging with Josh way to much," she says and I reply without even thinking, "well you have been with that Winter bitch so I had no option," I say and then I put my hand over my mouth.

I can see her eyes look down and I feel so bad, "baby I didn't mean it to come out like that," I say but she shakes her head. I feel something wet hit my shoulder... she is crying. "I-it's my fault. It's always my fault. I let everyone I love down, including you princess. I don't deserve you," she says, and I grab her face, forcing her to look at me. "Precious, you are not at fault. You are being used by someone you trusted and that is not on you. You will never fail me. I love you Juneau Woods, always and forever," I say, and I pull her into a kiss. She instantly kisses back and deepens it. I pull away and look her in the eyes, and before she could even speak, I flip us over so now I'm on top of her. I make her sit up and a I pull her shirt off. "You still reek of that wolf. I'm getting that stench off you now," I say, and she growls lowly. She sits up and starts unbuttoning her shirt I am still wearing.
