Rome's POV.

" Hello, I'm Rome. " I say.

I stick my hand out for her to shake, which she does in a daze. " Hi, I'm Devyn. " she says.

" That's a very pretty and unique name. I don't think I've ever met someone with that name before. " I admit.

She then offers me a smile. " Yeah, it was my great grandmothers name. My mom picked it out for me. " she says.

" I'm glad she did. It's very nice to meet you. " I say.

" Nice to meet you too." She says as she looks down at my still extended hand.

Her face flushed red and she quickly reached over and shakes my hand. Tingles spread over our skin and I hear the gasp that comes from her. ' She's sensing the mate bond too. You must tell her. ' says my wolf.

' I will when the time is right and there's not so many people around. ' I say back.

We break apart and she stares at her hand in wonder. " Did you feel that too?" She asks.

I nod my head. " You know what caused that, don't you?" She asks. I nod my head yet again.

" Yes, I can't tell you here, but I will give you an answer soon. " I say.

" I feel...." Before she could finished, an older man barges through and practically shoved me to the side.

I stumble a few steps and look back with an angry look. She now had her hands on her hips and was glaring rudely at the man. " Dad, that was uncalled for. Apologize to him. " she said.

" No time for that. Something came up and we need to go. Now!" He ordered.

" Hey, you can't just..." I started when she looked at me.

" It's ok Rome. I'll hopefully see you around. Come on dad. Let's go. " she says.

I watch in disappointment as they leave. Adrian walks up next to me. " Follow them. Make sure she gets home safe. I'll let your mother know what's going on. " he says.

" Thanks man. " I say before running into the woods and shifting. I then run through the woods after the truck that carried my mate away from me.

Devyn's POV.

I'm practically fuming as we drive home. I have my arms crossed and am looking anywhere but my dad. I can't believe he would be so rude to the host of the party.

What he did was so uncalled for. " Are you going to stay mad at me all night?!" Asked my dad in an annoyed voice.

" Why shouldn't I? You tactically body slammed the son of the people who were hosting the party and we left without a single goodbye to anyone. It was very rude of you to do. " I say.

" You better watch that tone young lady. " he said.

I can feel my anger spiking. " Or what? I'm a fully grown woman. I should be able to have a grown up conversation with you. " I say.

" Fine then. I get what I did was rude, but I didn't like the looks of that guy you were talking to. " he says.

" Well there are many other ways to go about it than body slamming him. " I say.

" I did what I thought was right. " he said.

" When is that ever right dad? What would you do if someone did that to you?" I ask.

He doesn't answer me. I sigh in annoyance. " We weren't even there an hour. " I say.

" We didn't have to be. " he says.

" It's rude to leave right away dad. " I say. Here he goes being possessive again.

" I felt you weren't safe. So I needed to get you out of there. You can't talk with guys like that. " he says.

" I can handle myself. He wasn't even doing anything aside from a friendly conversation. You're being possessive again. " I say.

" No I'm not. I just wanted you safe.  I love you. " he says.

" Well you have a funny way of showing it. Stop the truck. " I say.

He looked startled. " W-what?" He asks.

" I said stop the car. I'm staying with Claudia tonight while you learn some manners. Now stop the car!!" I order.

He growls in annoyance, but does as I ask and stops the car. I step out and look at him before I close the door.

" You don't even have anything for this sleepover." He says.

" I'll survive. " I say slamming the door.

He reluctantly drives off and I am left in the middle of the street by myself. I take out my phone and call Claudia.

" What's up girl? You left in a rush. Is everything ok?" She asks.

" No, not really. Can I stay with you tonight? My dad is being possessive. " I say.

" Of course you can. Send me your location and I'll come pick you up. " she says.

" Will do. Thanks. " I say.

We hang up and I send her my location. I stand there waiting for a while before I feel like someone was watching me. I look around and reach into my pocket slowly. I carry a pocket knife in case I need protection.

I train with knives so if I need to fight, I can. " What are you doing out here alone?" Asks a voice.

I flip around and go to slash at the voice with my knife. A hand grabs my wrist and tingles spread through my skin. Just like they did when I shook hands with Rome a while back. Does that mean...?

"Rome?" I ask.

" Yeah, it's me. " he says.

That's when I look at his face and pull my hand back. I put my knife back up. " What are you doing here all alone at night?" He asks.

" I could ask you the same thing. " I say

" I went for a walk to clear my head. I don't have the best temper and your dad really ticked me off when he body slammed me. " he admits.

" Yeah, I'm really sorry about that. He can be possessive at times and it causes him to lose all sense of manners. " I say.

" Are you waiting for anyone?" He asks.

" I called my friend Claudia. She should be here soon to pick me up for the night. " I say.

" Would it be ok if I waited with you?" He asks.

" Sure. We can finish our conversation now. " I say.

" I'd like that. " he says with a smile and with that, the two of us take a seat on the curb and start back up our conversation.
