The only one.

You!

*edited

It's Fay. "Fay?"

"Shorty?"

"Where have you been? I missed you."

"Well I never did get to finish talking to you but I found my mate and moved here with him. I never got to say goodbye."

*flashback* "So if you find your mate you'll let me know, right?"

"I promise shorty that if I find my mate I'll look around for you to make sure I get a goodbye."

I give her a nice hand shake before she quickly leaves and gets back to meeting everyone. I didn't see her the rest of the night or the next day. Then I heard the talk of her finding her mate and leaving. I was sad that I didn't get a goodbye but just forgot about it and continued to finish up with cleaning." *end of flashback*

"I know, I didn't see you the rest of the night or the next day and I overheard that you had already left with your mate."

Then as we are talking a man walks through the back door.

"Hey Fay."

"Shorty this is my mate."

"So, you're the short one she talked about."

"Yeah I was saved from a rogue and brought here. My mate is talking with his dad right now."

"You have a mate now shorty?"

"I just met him today."

"I didn't think runts had mate's."

"I'm just glad I have one."

Jasper walks into the kitchen looking a little tense and stressed.

"Alpha you okay?"

"Fine, Hazel would you take a walk with me?"

"Sure."

"Shorty, is he your mate?"

"Shorty?"

"Yeah he is. Fay calls me shorty because she used to be in my pack and she would never be mean to me."

"Good."

He takes my head and we slowly start walking on a path through the forest.

"So, what's on your mind."

"My dad is a little stubborn when it comes to his pack and making sure when he passes the official alpha title to me that in strong enough and he doesn't think you're a strong enough mate."

"What are you going to do?"

"I'm not going to reject you. I'm going to try and prove that you can be strong and I wanted to ask you of you want me to train you?"

"Absolutely, that would be awesome and I would be able to get stronger and prove that I'm not just a small and weak runt."

"Then we'll start tomorrow."

"Sounds great."

"Let's head back, I have some things to attend to."

We walk back to the pack house and he leaves me with my friend Fay and her mate So that I have someone to talk too. Me and her talk for about an hour or so and what happened after she left and what's been going on with me. I could tell her mate wanted some time with her so I told her I would just hang out here so they could go do what they wanted. As I was sitting there, Jaspers dad came up to me.

"Listen here runt, I don't want my son to have a weak and pathetic girl like you as his mate, so you better stay away from him or you'll pay the price. Got it?"

"You want me to reject my mate? Would you have rejected you're of she was a runt?"

"I'm not saying reject him just say away from him and if my mate was a runt then it must have been a mistake."

He just turns and walks off like nothing happened. A few minutes later Jasper finally comes back and notices my mood shift.

"What happened while I was gone?"

"Your dad and I just had a lovely conversation about me staying away from you or there being consequences."

"Don't listen to him. He is just hard headed and stubborn."

He helps me stand and starts walking me through the pack house.

"Would you like your own room or would you like to sleep in my room?"

"I would like to stay with you just because I feel safe near you."

"Fine by me."

He walks me to his room and I noticed that it has one bed, a couch, a rocking chair, his dresser, a nice sized closet, and some nice decoration around on his walls. It also has a bathroom attached and there is a lock in case I need privacy.

"Do you want the bed, couch, chair, or floor, because I can sleep anywhere."

"The couch because it's small and reminds me of many of my nights."

"Alrighty."

He hands me a pillow and two blankets in case I get cold, which I doubt because I'm used to not having much to cover me at night. I lay the pillow down and one blanket and lay on one while covering up with the other. Jasper laid on the bed spread where he took up the whole bed. Where I only took up half the couch, not really used to the space that I have too stretch yet. It's about 5:00 a.m. when I hear shouts from somewhere in the house.

"If your hiding her, I'll tear this place apart."

I slowly get up and make my way towards the telling to see what's going on.

"We know she is alive and we want to know where she is!"

Then I hear my mate yell back, "You treated her like dirt! No wonder she ran away."

"It doesn't concern you! So just hand her over."

I poke my head around the corner, "What the heck is going on here!"

"There you are! We have been looking everywhere for you."

"You found me so leave. I'm not going back to the place you call a pack!"

"You should be grateful we even helped you to live or else you wouldn't even be here right now!"

"That doesn't make up for all the times I've been hit or mistreated!"

"To bad, you have to come back!"

"Not since I found my mate!"

"I knew letting you out was a bad idea. You may have gotten out this time but I will be back for you!"

Jasper is really ticked off and yells at him one more time. "Get off my land, before I declare war on your pack!"

"I'm going, I'm going!"

With that everything is quite again so me and Jasper have a chat.
