His Second Chance

Chapter Three (Skylar's P.O.V.)

I woke up in a nervous sweat. I had forgot about Caroline! She asked me to meet her at eleven o'clock, but I had completely forgot. I got up. It was only five in the morning. No one else would be up yet. I got dressed and went outside. The fresh air was what I had needed. I went for a walk outside the pack house. I found the area that Ashton had took me to last night. It was more beautiful in the morning. I sat by the water and stared. The morning sun was just barely visible on the horizon. I sat there as memories of last night played in my head. The dinner. The kiss. Finding out that my family wasn't dead. Wait a second! I thought, shooting up. "My family!" I yelled as I sprinted back towards the pack house. Last night I didn't hear their screams, or sense them to be near, why not? I had ever since I had been here. I ran into the living room. I could hear people busily working away in the kitchen. I looked at the clock, It was already 6:32! How long have I been down by the water? I thought. It hadn't seemed like that long. I looked over to my left to see Ashton coming down the stairs. His hair was a mess, I laughed in my head.

"Well hello there!" He said, clearly surprised to see me up.

"Hi," I said coming back from my thoughts. "I didn't mean to wake you up." I said. He clearly just got up, considering his hair was a mess. He looked shocked.

"You didn't wake me." He said in a reassuring tone. I nodded, but I was unsure if he was truthful or not."The noises of the oh so wonderful kitchen. Speaking of the kitchen, let's go get breakfast before we have none." I giggled. I was excited to eat, I was starving. He grabbed my hand and started to walk towards the dining room. When we got inside, my mouth watered from seeing all the delicious foods there were in store for us.

"Good morning you two!" Said a lady who seemed to be a chef.

"I have a surprise for you Hazel," Ashton whispered in my ear. I nodded, then went to sit down to eat.

"I thought we established that my name is Skylar, not Hazel." I said as I sat down. Another chef rang a bell and slowly, pack members started coming into the room.

"And I thought we established my nickname for you is Hazel as well." I blushed. And then rolled my eyes. We ate and chatted with the rest of the pack. I felt a bit uncomfortable, but I still enjoyed talking to the children. I love kids! They are just so fun to be around. After breakfast, Ashton came up to me. "Can we talk outside please?" He asked. I nodded, and followed him out the back the back door.

"So about that surprise," he started, scratching the back of his neck nervously, "I want to take you to see it later, but I can't tell you what it is yet." he finished. My eyes widened, I could tell. I was excited to see what my surprise might be. The last of his surprises was incredible; I can't wait for this one!

"I'll pick you up at 11:30 from your room. I would love to spend time with you right now, but I have things to do." he said, kissing my cheek before he went inside to do who knows what.

I went up to my room. I opened my door and stepped inside. My head felt hot, I went into the bathroom to see myself literally smiling from ear to ear. It was 7:02 now, I had about four hours and twenty eight minutes until he came into my room. Willow whined. "That's too long!" She cried. I laughed. I went over to the window and looked outside. It was towards the end of summer, and little pups were running around and having a good time. Tonight was a full moon. Willow was excited today. I figured she wanted to talk to me. "I have an idea!" She said, bouncing around in my head.

"What is it?" I said aloud.

"You know, tonight's my favorite day of the month! Let's do something fun!" She was excited for whatever she wanted to do. I knew that I couldn't let her get too excited about it, or she could take control. And trust me, having your wolf be in control on a full moon can be dangerous.
