" What happened?" I see Ace clutching his arm and blood is pouring out from it. I call for the pack doctor as I put pressure on it. Grace is crying still and I want to help her but I can't leave Ace in this condition.
" I'm sorry about your vase" he says as he sits down waiting for the doctor.
" will someone explain what the fuck is going on?" I stand there completely clueless.
" I can't believe you did this ace ! I can't believe you !" Grace cried as she tries to lunge for him but Lucas has now interfered and took her out of the room.
" are you okay?" I ask Ace as the pack doctor comes in and begins to stitch him up.
" I'll be fine" he smiles at me but it doesn't quite reach his eyes. I frown. What the hell is happening?
" I may have or not have broken up grace and her boyfriend of 4 years" he mutters and puts his head down.
" why would you do that?" He had to of had a good reason right?
" I found out he was a traitor , going back and telling our rival pack secrets so I cut him off from all of our pack and the lands" he says as he runs his hand through his hair frustrated.
" seems a little over board to cut your brother over that , especially with my favorite vase" I say frowning down at the broken glass being sweet up by one of the lady's of the house.
" I am so sorry Rose" he starts to say it again when I cut him off.
" don't be , it's just material things" I place my hand on his head and mess his hair up a little as I giggles. He rolls his eyes.
" really?" He snorts
" really" I stick my tongue out at him. The doctor finishes him up and as I go to get up he pulls me back down onto the couch.
" Rosalie will you go on a date with me? A proper date?" I can feel my smile stretching across my face as he waits for my reply.
" of course"

We sit along the river with a basket of food beside us. It's beautiful here , there's a little river with trees surrounding us and flowers everywhere.
" what's your favorite color?" He says as he pulls out some wine , pouring it in a glass for me and pulls out a beer for him.
" purple" he nods at me.
" I could've guessed that"
" hmm what's yours?"
" green" he says and his cheeks get a slight blush to them. I grin.
" why are you blushing hmm?" I like him in the side.
" I'm not" He says poking his chest out acting manly.
" you so we're!"
" alright fine. Maybe I'll tell you one day" he laughs and kisses me on the cheek.
" Rosalie , I know I seem like a softie and everything but I just want to warn you , out in the real world when it isn't just us I can be kind of intimidating. I have a business to run and a pack and I have to do things sometimes that may seem scary to you" his eyes become slightly worried and sad.
" what do you mean"
" Rosalie I - I'm a gang leader" I look up at him. I've heard of some wolves being leaders like this. It's how their pack gets a reputation for themselves. Not a very good one , but a rep none the less.
" have you every thought about quitting?" I ask in a small voice.
" it isn't that easy. But I promise I'll never let you get hurt" he said and puts his arm around me.
" is that why you were so mad about graces boyfriend?"
" yes , but also because I trusted him and he was like family to us"
I nod and I can tell he's still pissed off.
" I know we don't know each other to well yet , but I hope you know I'd give my life for you , you're the most amazing girl I've ever met and I want to know so much more about you."
" that's ... intense" I say awkwardly. He chuckles at me and ruffles my hair.
" I'll prove I can be the man you've always dreamed of" he trails off and I can tell he gets deep in thought.
" rose?"
" yeah?"
" would you ever tell me about your dad?" He knows it's a touchy subject for me but for us to be in a healthy relationship he should know and he has the right to know.
" yeah , I will."
" and about the whole rider thing?"
" yeah that too" as he brings it up memories begin to flood back of the man that saved me from my father. He's so far gone now. I'm still terrified that Ace will turn out the same.
"Hey" he grabs my hand intertwining ours together " it's okay you don't have to tell me until you're ready I won't push you." I nod my head at him biting my lip. Would it just be better to get it all out now?
" I-I can tell you now if you'd like?"
" are you sure?"
" I can do this" I'm not sure if I was trying to assure me or him at this point. I started off by telling him about my mother dying , moving to my father becoming aggressive and then full blown abusive. I told him of the wolves in the woods and how close rider and I became before I even knew he was a person. I told him about the cafe and how I loved working there. I poured my heart out to him about my past and he sat intently listening to me. He would run circles in my hands or my legs comfortingly as I was talking. I felt tears rise but I pushed them down continuing on the last details of rider becoming more effecting by Gen R and me breaking my bond with him and then my time in the cell. I thought I pushed the tears back but as I finish Ace pulls me in his lap like a child and cradles me.
" it's okay" He shushes me.
" I'm scared you'll turn too" I whisper
" I promise , I will never turn into a rouge Rosalie and if I so much as ever touch you in a harmful way you have permission to kill me" he looks at me seriously and I can't believe he said that.
" Ace I can't"
" I would want you to" he nods his head , his mind was made up.
" I won't do that to you. Now you tell me something about you?" He sighs and looks down at me kissing my nose.
" my dad died when I was pretty young. He was a hard ass. He always wanted me to study , get good grades , he wanted me to be what he was. A great leader. I think I turned out well. We had a pack invasion and at the time we weren't a strong enough pack to handle something that big. They killed him , making me the alpha at a very young age. My mom stood by me the whole way" he smiles at the memory of her.
" she stays at my pack house guarded by men mostly , because she knows it makes me feel better" he bites his lip and I can't help but to want to bite it for him.
" I'm sorry about your dad" he sadly smiles at me
" everything happens for a reason don't ya think? I built my pack up , we have a reputation now. It may not have been the best way to do it but we are here" He looks proud of his pack and himself.
" you are quite remarkable" I smile and hop up holding my hand out.
" come on wolf boy , we have packs to run" he gets up slinging his arm around my should as we talk and laugh on the way back to the pack house.
" I don't wanna leave" he whines and all but throws a tantrum. I roll my eyes.
" I will be just a text or call away"
" face time?"
" sure that too"
" I'll be back soon Rosalie I'm going to miss you" he pulls me close to him and I have to peel him off of me. I giggle as I push him out and shut the door.
" good bye lover boy"
