"Ok what's your favorite animal?" He asks. We've been playing 2" questions for at least a half hour.

"I love cats" I say smiling.

He smiles back at me.

"What's your wolfs name?" I ask.
"River" he says.

"What's yours?" He looks me in the eyes and I look away. "Angelica" I tell him.

He nods once. "Why does your wolf seem nicer than you?" I blurt out then slap my hands over my mouth. "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean that" I stutter. He raises his hand up to silence me.

I look down. "My wolf is very controlling and possessive over you, he can't help it. It's like when your not near me he loses control" he says.

I nod. He was so nice in wolf form that day in the field. Why can't he always be like that.

I wanted to show her I can be gentle and caring.

"What about that one" my beta James says pointing to the black kitten. I sigh, she didn't tell me what kind of cat was her favorite. So here we are in the pet shop in town.

There's got to be at least 50 cats in here. A couple puppies on the other side of the store.

"Oh what about that one" James asks pointing to a cat. "He reminds me of Garfield"

I chuckle an look at the clock. It was now 5pm. We came here after I got all the pack business done and I was hoping this wouldn't take that long. I wanted to get home to my beautiful mate. "Go find 5 kittens I'll get the other 5" I tell him. "10 kittens?!" He asks shocked. I nod once. Maybe having 10 little kittens will give my mate company when I'm gone for pack work.

I hear a cute high pitch meow and look to the left. A small white kitten with ice blue eyes stares back at me. The tips of her ears are black and she has a black little spot on her right paw. I smile and pick her up gently. 3 kittens in one hand and two in the other I smile. My hands look giant, considering they can fit 3 kittens in them. I find James and we walk up to the counter.

The lady chuckles and asks "is that all?"

"Yes" I smile.

-we must look really manly- river smirks.

I laugh and have to agree, looking over I see James kissing each of the kittens heads. For being 20 James is really immature, he has brown hair and blue eyes.

"Wait we have to put a bow on them" James says pulling out black, red and white ribbons. I raise an eyebrow. "What they were having a 3 for 5$ sale" he defends.

He makes little bow headbands for all the kittens and I write with sharpie on the cardboard box.

'Dear little mate:
From the moment I met you and on, your always this adorable. I love you more than you can imagine, and with time I hope you love me too. I hope these 10 kittens will be more than enough company for when I'm not there with you. They should keep your hands full'

Smiling I put the sharpie back on the tail gate and tell James to bring the box in in a minute.

It was 7 pm. He never had to work this late. But I figured I could make him dinner for when he came home.

But I can't cook if my life depended on it so I ended up throwing away burned noodles and sauce that just didn't look like... Sauce.

I groan in aggravation as I tried to scrub the burned sauce off the stove and throw the sponge down on the counter.

"Darlin" Chauncey's voice calls. "oh, hi" I smile trying my best to lean on the counter covering the mess. He raises a brow. "What're you doin" he asks.

I look down embarrassed. Well I can't hide it forever. "I figured since you were working late, I- I wanted to make you dinner" I slowly side step to reveal my mess.

He takes a deep breath and I took that as my sign that he wasn't happy. Of course he wouldn't be. There was sauce splattered on the wall, the stove was a mess, the kitchen had smoke lingering in the air and smelled of blackened noodles.

Let's just say the bread resembled more of a rock than something you could eat.

I'm a failure. "I'm sorry" I apologize quickly. He walks to me and I flinch as he try's to caress my cheek. "I'm not upset, I was surprised you wanted to cook dinner or me" he smiles and kisses my forehead. "I have something for you" he smiles widely.
He whistles and a man I've never seen before steps in, holding a box that looks unsteady and sets it on the table Infront of me. I lift the top and gasp. "Oh my gosh" I squeal then blush. Inside the box was 10 little kittens. All of the had bows on their heads. I read the box, tears come to my eyes.

The man leaves smiling and Chauncey watches me. "I do love you...." I trail off.

"But what, whatever it is I can fix it" he promises. "I'm just scared sometimes" I reply quietly. I set the box of kittens on the floor and sit Infront of it. I rest my chin on the edge of the box and smile sadly at all the little kittens meowing.

Chauncey sits behind me and pulls me to his chest.

"I'm sorry kitten" he kisses my cheek.

"No I'm sorry" I start. "I want to love you, but I don't want everything to happen again" I tell him.

"It won't I promise" he hugs me.

"Now how about I make us dinner while you play with the kittens" he smirks.

I blush and pick up a kitten with a red bow on her head. She was white and had black tips on her ears.

"I'll call you Leila" I smile an kiss her forehead, feeling Chauncey's eyes on me.
