Shelby sat at the breakfast bar, slowly eating her food. She still hardly ate. Her stomach wouldn't let her. I was gonna tell her today. Today was the day I told her about me being a werewolf.

I was so nervous. How was she going to take it? She's good with the weird and abnormal. Believing in ghosts and all that. I just, if a mate rejects a mate then the rejected mate dies or go rouge. They decay and loose their minds. In either death or letting the rabid wolf out.

I didn't want to do that. I know it would kill me. Shes my other half. The one that completes me. "Angel?"

"Yes?"

"Are you going to school?" I asked.

"Yeah," she shivered. "Kind of have to. Can't miss anymore school."

"Well I'm gonna walk you to and from every class, and its not me it'll be Tay or Johnny. I won't leave you alone okay?"

She smiled as she turned to look at me. "Thank you," she stood and took her hardly touched food and placed it in the microwave. She came up to me and pecked my lips then walked into her room.

Ethan walked out with a towel around his waist, and his hair dripping. "Hey, you're gonna take her to school?"

"Yeah, and we'll be late."

"Why?"

"I'm gonna tell her." I watched as he made his way over to the plate of food he had made before his shower.

"So I need to prepare myself for when she comes home," he stated not asked. He opened the microwave and took out Shelby's plate and sighed. "Is this all she ate?"

"Yeah and I watched her try to. It took her twenty minutes to eat just that. I'm getting scared for her."

"Me too. I might take her to a doctor to help her. She need her meds too," he said heating up his food.

"I just want her healthy. She means the world to me and I can't stop seeing all the bad shit that's happened. She deserves the world and gets hell." He just smiled at me.

"You are the perfect boyfriend and mate, you know that?"

"I can only hope," I heard a door open and she walked out in a red tank top that read "what the hell is a Styles" and a pair of black ripped skinnies. Her midnight hair laid in ringlets and no make up. She looked stunning. Her combat boots clicked on the floor as she walked up to us and her wrists adorn with bands and white wraps. A black beanie on her head. Her soft pink lips hung angel bites and her ears full of piercings. My black jacket around her, hiding the bruises and a choker around her neck. "Wow you took beautiful."

Her cheeks became red and a smile played on her lips. "Thank you."

"Always angel. Ready?"

"As I'll ever be," she said grabbing her bag and headphones.

"Love you Eth," she kissed his cheek. "Be safe at work please."

"Will do Shelby," he said as we walked to my car and got in.

"So we're not going straight home today. I was thinking that we could go to a little surprise I have set up."

"Are you River Michael Hall asking me on a date?"

Shelby

I smiled as he asked me. "Maybe," his cheeks turned a bright red.

"Yes, River yes," I placed a kiss on his lips and sat back in my seat. His hand slipped in mine as we got to the school.
