Austin

       Today the Dark Night Pack is coming. Chris called to ask me if they could stay at my pack because there were some rogues around their territory. That is Juli's mate's pack so of course, I would have said Yes because I can't sit back and let them die. I'm sitting watching TV and I started to smell the most wonderful sweet scent. It smelled so good like coconuts and mint. The scent was making my wolf jump around inside of me. I couldn't tell where the smell was coming from but within minutes the smell was very close by. 'This smell is my mate, it has to be Carson.' I thought. That is the only reason I would be smelling it. (Knock knock) I heard a knock at my door that snapped me back Into reality. 'That must be Chris and the Dark Night Pack.' I said to myself. I walked over to the door and the scent got stronger. I opened the door to see that it was Chris standing there. "Where are the others from your pack?" I asked as I was calming down my wolf. "They are getting the bags. They will be here in a minute." he said with a smile. "Okay, well come on in." I said smiling and opening the door wider. The smell got really strong and I felt like I was going to pass out. The scent was so wonderful it was putting me into a dreamworld-like state as my wolf was trying to come back out. He wanted out badly. I walked with Chris into the living room I had to hold onto the wall. After about 5 minutes I heard the rest of his pack come in. I looked up to see 2 boys with 3 pups (baby's) with them. "Ah, this is Jacob my beta with his twins and Shane my brother with his son." Chris said, putting down a bag. Chris had told me over the phone about Jacob's and Abigail's twins, a boy named Jeremiah, and a girl named Lily. The other one was a boy named Atticus and he belonged to Shane and his mate. Atticus's eyes were the same color as my gray with a little gold and he had brown hair but Shane's eyes weren't the same color as Atticus's. I guess the baby looked like his mom. I kept looking at Atticus. It felt like there was a connection between the baby and me, almost like a father and son. I had to shake that feeling off. "Where are your mates?" I asked. "Oh, they went to the mall to get some stuff for the pups (baby's), they will be here later." Shane said as he put Atticus down. "Okay." I said. Then I noticed that I couldn't smell the scent anymore. I felt a bit sad but I didn't know why. I sat down to watch the pup's (baby's) play on the floor. I was confused.

Carson

       Today is the day that we go to Austin's pack. I was so nervous. I felt like my heart was in my stomach. What if he knows that my mark wasn't real? I have to get Austin to believe that I have a mate and I'm marked to get my plan to work.

"Are you ready?" I heard Chris ask me. "Yeah." I said with worry in my voice. We were 2 miles away when I started to smell the scent of vanilla and coffee. It was so strong and it smelled so good, I could never get tired of this smell. I know that scent anywhere It was Austin's my mates. So I knew we were getting close, even my wolf did. The smell was driving my wolf and me both crazy. That scent is going to kill me. I thought to myself. If his smell was already doing this to me, how am I going to act in front of him? I know if I can smell him then he can smell me. I was just hoping that he is stupid not to know the scent of his mate. When we got to Austin's house I asked Chris to go knock on the door and if he asked about the rest of us just tell him that we are getting the bags out of the car. I don't even dare to have the courage to face him right now. I'm still so nervous and I had to get my wolf under control. If I couldn't control her my plan wouldn't work. We got the bags out of the car and I asked Abigail to go shopping with me. I needed more time, I needed to control my urges. So we went shopping, leaving the kids with the boys. 2 and half hours later. As we were getting close to Austin's house again. I could smell him again and my body was on high alert. When we got to the house we took out the bags and walked up to the door. I took in a deep breath and knocked on the door. We can do this, Just go with the plan. I told myself and my wolf. After a minute the door opened and there stood Austin. His eyes went wide seeing me, he looked shocked and happy at the same time. I put on a blank face.
