When I got off the stage I was on cloud nine. I couldn't erase the huge smile on my face. I was finally one of them.Maybe this was what winning an Oscar felt like. Nah this was probably better and as I remembered the vows I swore I had no regrets. I would protect and love my pack as fiercely as possible. They were my family now.

I brought my hand up slowly to my neck. There was no scar or anything. It wasn't even sore anymore. One day he would mark me and I couldn't wait. Micha and I were getting better and I was seeing a side of him I'd never seen before.

I looked around for Sara but I couldn't find her so I just opted to get to my room. No one was staying behind anyway,everyone was getting ready for the ball. Another one of my worse ideas. Oh well.

As I made it to the door Aiden came to walk beside me.

"So how do you feel?" He asked me with a huge grin on his face.

It was contagious.

"I feel.....great. Honestly."

"Awesome. So Micha told me about the motive of this ball we're having."

I groaned.

"And you're here to tell me how horrible my idea is."

"Actually no. I mean it is a pretty awful idea but if anyone can pull it off,it's you. "

"Awww Thanks Aiden. So what did you want to talk about?"

I tripped on nothing but luckily Aiden saved me before I could plummet to my death.

"Well tonight you'll have to prove that you are who you say you are so have you found out how to work your shifting yet,because if you haven't this will be a disaster. "

He was right. How the hell was I supposed to figure out to shift in just a couple of hours. Especially with such an insufferable beast.

"Well no I haven't...but it's not from lack of trying. It's just that she says I haven't accepted her fully yet and I have no idea what the hell she's talking about because I am sure I did."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes!"

"Well obviously if she says you haven't then there's something you're doing wrong."

I sighed heavily. Maybe this idea was worse than I thought. What if they did want me to prove it? What would I do then?

"Look Kat. Maybe the problem is that you haven't accepted yourself." He said in a matter-of-fact tone.

I turned to look him.

"What?"

"You are her and she is you after all....what I'm trying to say is we all grow up believing,anticipating that we will shift into wolves one day and Im pretty sure this how is was for you. So when you didn't shift when you were supposed to,I bet you were devastated."

I looked away. I didn't like to think about those days anymore. How people made fun of me because I had no inner wolf.

"Then years later you do shift and instead of a wolf you get a huge hybrid who is supposed to be a queen,I mean it's a lot for anyone to take in...... Maybe you haven't accepted the fact that this is you. The old you doesn't exist anymore. Let the old,weak,submissive Kat go and be the person you were always meant to be. "

I had tears in my eyes.

"Hey.....we all believe in you." He said gently.

He gave me a huge hug before he left me alone.

I walked the rest of the way to my room and collapsed on the bed. My head hurt. This new link was fucking difficult to handle.

I sighed and looked up at the ceiling. Was Aiden right?

No way.

Well....

Maybe.....

Okay fine,he was.

I needed to get my shit together. He was right, I was not the same old Kat and I should stop acting like her,thinking like her. I had no reason to feel sorry for myself. I had a mate, great friends and a pack. No more self pity.

Before I could form another thought I felt my skin start to tingle.

What...

The....

Fuck....

Micha's pov

I watched as she walked into the house with Aiden.

She looked radiant....elated.

That made me feel strange. I felt....proud of myself. Like I'd conquered the world just by putting that smile on her face.

I grunted as I ran my hand over my tired face. Now the world would know she was my mate,my weakness. I'd made few friends over the years and many enemies,mostly my own fault I must admit. If I had known that someone as damaged I was could have a mate I would go back and make sure I did things the right way,but it was too late for that now,all I could do was protect her.

Why couldn't she see that I was bad for her?

Gahd.

I barely even know how to act around her. How do you act around a teenager who has grown up wishing for the other half of her soul only to find it in ashes.

I looked around at my pack as they retreated to their various homes to get ready.

Tonight was going to be something else. I chuckled at Kat's wierd ideas.

My smile vanished quickly.Tonight was going to be difficult for her.

I had to be there for her,she'll need my support. I'll protect her, I'll guide her,hell at this point I'll do anything for her.

Kat......

What are you doing to me?
