still Alec's P.O.V._

  "And why the hell didn't you tell me you had so much talent?!",I was practically yelling at Annalie.She just rolled her eyes and shook her head at me.

    "Gee I don't know,it must have slipped my mind.You know in our first and only ever conversation so far that lasted all of ten minutes.",she replied sarcastically as I walked her to her truck after school."I mean you didn't exactly mention to me that you play the piano."

   I sucked in a breath,ready to fight back and with a sigh,gave up,"Tuoche."I never gave up that easily.Of course not everyone was my frickin mate.I still couldn't get over that.Oh crap i'm turning into her bitch.And there's just not a better word for it.I laughed at myself.

   There was just no hope for me was there.We walked a little way trying to think of something to talk about.It was very hard for me to concentrate on that though.Especially with the breeze whipping her hair around and her sent blasting my nose.....She looked at me and blushed,a pretty rosy color,then looked away.I shook my head to try and clear it.I had to be careful.If I let my mind wander to long like that it was likely my wolf would try to over come me.

"*ahem* So how was your first day here?",I asked awkwardly.

"Well I have to admit it was a lot better than I thought it would be.Not to mention very unexpected.....",she said sheepishly.

   "Yea I know exactly what you mean....",I said.She stopped and looked at me incredulously.I gave her a knowing look,I knew that she knew what I was.It took her a minute or so to realize that I knew what she was.When she finally did figure it out those chocolate eyes of hers got big and her mouth went into an "O" shape.

"O-o-oh..b-b-but.."She stuttered.Then snapping her jaw shut looked at me with a hopeless Are-we-effing-crazy look.By now we were to her truck.

     "Yea I know it's crazy,but I don't care...You and I,we're mates.And,if I can remember correctly,its a really,really bad idea to keep mates apart.",I couldn't believe I actually told her.I mean I had no clue how she would take it.when I looked at her though it wasn't what I expected.I had expected anger,hatred,complete acceptance,though that was one of the last things I thought would happen.Instead I got...confused.Yup complete and utter confusion.Which just made me confused.

"Mates?",she blinked with a distant look in her eye.

I refrained from rolling my eyes,which wasn't as hard as you might think."Yea.Mates.You know what mates are."

"I've heard of them,"she snapped giving me a death glare,"Most people just thinks its myths.And even so we don't really know a lot about them.So don't you Dare get an attitude with me."

My eyebrows shot up.I laughed and held her close."Of course.I'm sorry."At first she was stiff in my arms.Did she not trust me?But after a few seconds she relaxed and put her arms around me.

   "Your forgiven.",she giggled gently.Everything about that moment felt so right.I hadn't felt so sure about something in a long time....Until she pulled away."Well I should get going.I've got a lot to take care of at home."

"*sigh* oh.",I replied gloomily.

At this she laughed,"Don't look so sad.I'm not leaving forever."

I nodded."Ok.Goodbye Annalie.",I said.

     She smiled at me,pulled me into a hug,then hopped into her truck and pulled out of the parking lot.I took a deep breath in and let it all out in a rush.I'm not completely sure how long I stood there absorbed in my thoughts,but after awhile a bright green KIA soul pulled up in front of me.Of course my cousin had to honk her horn at me like seven-teen times to first pull me out of my thoughts and then make me realize that I am the one being honked at.

"And just what are you smiling about?",said Kayley eying me suspiciously.I raised my eyebrow at her.She frowned at me,"And don't you DARE raise your eyebrow at ME,hotshot."

I couldn't help but laugh at her.'Hotshot' has been her nickname for me...probably since we first learned to talk." *Mud-pie* ",I coughed.

She glared at me as best she could without taking her eyes off the road."Don't you dare bring that up."I just smiled at her.

        Let me explain about Kayley.She's my cousin.She has werewolf blood,but her wolf is silent.Which means she dosen't change.This happens sometimes.We call the ones that are like this the Blessed.A long time ago a lot of them felt they were unneeded.So they decided to become less helpless to the pack.They started training so the could be in pack battles if they have to and then they took over the job of recording and maintaining our history.Eventually there were enough of them that they gave themselves a name, the Silent watchers.
