"Here you can have my last one," Archer says while sliding the mild sauce packet to me. He gets up to go get more. He brought me to Taco Bell for a date, I guess that's what it is.

I go to open the packet but stop with a small laugh. I set it aside knowing he probably didn't know what it said. I'm going to keep it anyways. "What are you smiling about?" He asks as he sits back down. He puts a mound of mild sauce packets between our food.

"Nothing," I mutter grinning. He just rolls his eyes before going back to his mountain of food. I thought I ate a lot, but man he eats more then Victor, Shell, and I combined. He got five soft tacos, a steak quesadilla, and two five layered burritos. Thats not including what I got either.

He's a growing Alpha. So shush! My wolf says. Now she talks again. What about when I was needing her opinion on this courtship huh?

"How do you keep in shape with eating that much?" I ask him. He has a long line of mild sauce rolling down his face when he looks up at me. He quickly wipes his face off.

"My wolf prevents me from getting fat. He can do this thing were it fills him up. I think he does it to be able to taste real food but I'm not complaining," he explains while giving me a smile.

A very beautiful wolf, mine says. I really need to give her a name. Typically someone else names our wolves, our alpha. Well, he just knows their names.

"Archer?"

"Hmm?"

"What's his name?" I ask. It's a good way to lead to find my wolfs name. Find out his first.

"My wolf?"

"Um, yeah," I mutter playing with a wrapper nervously. Archer has a smile on his face that seems to never fade.

"You won't believe me."

"Please tell me," I plead. He smiles bigger before looking down.

"Bo. His name is Bo."

"Bo? Archer and Bo?"

Archer just nods his head in a sheepish mannor. "It suits him," I add giving him a smile.

"Are you sucking up to my wolf?"

"No! I'm not doing that. I didn't even mean to say that in the first place," I laugh. He smiles but soon the smile breaks out into a grin.

"Era," he says looking me in the eyes. Almost instantly does my wolf perk up.

"What?"

"That's your wolfs name. Era," he smirks this time. He most likely can see the joy of my wolf finally being able to take full pride. I look down as I tear up my wrapper.

"I was wondering when you would ask me," he says turning his head sideways a bit. I look back up in time to see him shove a whole taco in his mouth.

"So attractive, Archer," I tease. He mufles through his mouth full before swallowing.

"You know it," he finally says with a wink. I stick my tongue out at him.

After we finish eating we walk through the woods on our way back. Good choice , human. Era says with a soft hum. Archer suddenly puts his hands over my eyes.

"Archer!" I shreik while trying to pull his hands away. I hear him laugh as he leads me forward.

"I have a surprise for you," he whispers. The smell of smoke and fills my nostrils, almost blocking my sense of smell.

"Is it death?"

"Yes, it's death. However did you guess my wicked gift?" He asks. His breath sends chills down my back. Every little breath he breathes feels like ice. Era is insanely aware of his wolf Bo as well.
