I was frozen. Terrified. I couldn't move. Couldn't speak. This man I fell in love with just changed into a giant ass wolf. He was huge, black with silver streaks throughout, the sun hit him just right it made his fur look almost blue. He started to take a step towards me and instinctively I stepped back. He paused, then knelt down to the ground and laid his head on his paws. I heard him whine and whimper like an over sized puppy dog. I took a deep breath and mustered all the courage I could find and took a step towards him. I slowly walked closer his eyes watching my every move.

"P-Paxton?" I stuttered and he lifted his head. Like he was nodding then lowered it back down on his paws. I continued to walk around him, watching the wind blow through his fur. I reached out and touched it dragging my hand through it. He was so soft it was so strange. Suddenly I couldn't help but laugh. I started laughing so hard I felt like my abs were gonna pop out. He looked over and cocked his head to the side confused. "I just, I don't know if you're gonna get along with my cats!" I felt like a psycho laughing, but I couldn't tell if I was gonna freak out and run away or not. He shook his head and suddenly he started shrinking until a very naked Greyson was standing there.

"Really baby, that's how you respond?" I turned around and felt my face blush. "Sweets why are you turning around? Like you haven't seen this before?"

"Why are you naked?"

"Well clothes don't exactly change with me. Hold on." I heard him walking in the grass and then the backpack unzip. I turned back around and he was pulling a pair of sweats up over his ass. God he had a really nice ass. He turned around and walked towards me. I didn't know how to feel, this just doesn't seem real. My heart was beating a million times a minute. As soon as his hand was in mine everything instantly relaxed. I closed the distance and buried my head into his chest.

"Wow. This is so much. I feel like my mind is going to explode."

"I know baby I'm sorry. I just needed you to know everything. More than likely you would have found out eventually and I just wanted it from me." My heart skipped a beat a little.

"I'm glad you told me but fuck it was a lot."

"Honestly you took it better than I thought you were going to and I thought I broke you when you started laughing." I started laughing again. I probably am semi-insane.

"I don't know I guess maybe it hasn't fully set in, or maybe your just not very scary." I teased.

"Probably that one. " He grabbed my hand and brought it to his lips.

"Oh Saturday, you need to be at my place at 7 for a bonfire. You want to officially meet the family that's your chance." I grinned at him, and he smiled back a semi nervous smile. "What you scared?"

"Maybe a little bit. Im guessing its a party to cover up an interrogation?" I laughed.

"I want to say no but I feel like that would be a lie." I smiled as I closed the distance between us and planted a kiss on his lips.

"Anything for you my love." My heart fluttered a little bit. "Come on baby lets head back." He grabbed the blanket stuffing it back into the bag and tossing the backpack over his shoulder. I looked around again taking in the beauty of everything. We started the journey back and suddenly his story came back into my mind. Now that I know there is at least some truth to it since he changed into a damn wolf. "Penny for your thoughts?" I blinked snapping back out of my head.

"Yeah just thinking about some things you told me. Seems like I'm coming up with more questions than answers."

"Well I would be shocked if you didn't have any." He smiled and held my hand as we walked.

"Does it hurt when you shift?"

"Hurt? No. It's not pleasant but it doesn't hurt. I mean most of the time you go so fast you don't  even feel it."

"So he has a name does that mean he can talk to you?"

"Unfortunately, he's like a little voice constantly in my head. Even though hes always there I can control how much he communicates with me like i can turn it off. He's like a part of me though. Like I get hurt he gets hurt, anything I feel he also feels. Certain emotions are amplified. Especially if they have to do with you. You are our one and only. Our greatest strength and only weakness. You make us better than we ever could imagine." 

"Whoa. Thats intense, and I think possibly the most romantic thing I've ever heard." I giggled shyly. His eyes flickered. "So, when your eyes change from blue to grey?" 

"Thats Pax trying to force himself up. He is a lot though and understands not to try too hard right now. We don't to frighten you ever." That answers a lot of questions.

"So, the sexy growl you make?" I immediately blushed realizing I called it what I thought of it as out loud. "I just said that out loud, didn't I?" I felt my entire face heat up and he grinned. 

"Well yes, that sexy growl is definitely Pax, but I think I would do the same thing." He pulled me closer to him pausing before kissing me. He was seriously addicting. Suddenly a thought occurred to me. I pulled away for a moment. 

"So an I your mate? Like in the story?" My heart rate sped up in my chest as my nerves kicked into hyper drive. 

"Yes, you are my love." I felt anger building up inside me. 

"So I was made for you." I felt like my heart was going to stop. "All this time, the love and connection I was feeling thinking this was different and that maybe you were different was actually some invisible force pushing us to be together. Making sure I ended up here with you in your life. To what? Sit around and have more furry children? Make your life better?" I pushed away from him as his face just went blank. 

"Whoa what the hell just happened?" I turned and quickly started back up the path towards the house. I just wanted to get in my car and leave. Made for someone? No fucking way.  "Olivia wait. What just happened?"  I started quickly walking off towards the house away from him. 

"You. I was literally made for you is what you just said. It means that this, what we feel. Its not real its forced." I felt tears starting to form in my eyes. 

"Liv thats not it at all." 

"Just stop. You said I was your mate; mates were handpicked for everyone by the goddess herself. I felt the pull the first time I met you I thought it was just butterflies or something. You know the first sparks of attraction. Then come to find out it was a real pull because I was chosen for you." I felt so little and worthless. Like everything I have ever done with my entire life was for nothing. Like I was playing some game under the control of outside forces. 

"Olivia please baby that's not what this is at all you have complete control of how you feel. If at any point you don't want to be together, we don't have to be. I'm with you because I love you. I want you. I need you."

"Thats just it though. You didn't need me; Kate was chosen for you as a strong leader. I can't do that. I'm a second-grade teacher who can barely get her kids to stay quiet during reading time. Those are seven-year-olds not full-grown werewolf things!"  I saw the steps leading up to the porch not far ahead. He grabbed my hand, and I pulled away the familiar feeling sparking through the touch. Usually, I found comfort in it. Hell, every part of me was aching to find comfort in his arms but I feel like a fucking puppet. 

"Baby please you have to understand there are rankings in a pack, and yes with how late I found my mate the elders chose one for me if I hadn't found you. She was chosen for me, NOT by me baby. I chose you and I always will. Hell, even if we weren't mates, I probably still would have chosen you." My heart ached at his words, but I just didn't know how to feel. He closed the distance between us I felt myself succumbing to the electricity sparking between us.  

"I just need some time to process things. I feel like a puppet Grey, I hate feeling like I have no control over my life. I can't do that again." A tear escaped my cheek. He caressed my face and lifted it so I would meet his gaze. 

"If you wish my love."
