You had your love story until your mate dies. What happens when fate gives you a second chance at love?
Cassie is a 20 year old werewolf who has loved and lost. Her mate was killed when she was 18. Despite her terrible tragedy she vowed to continue...
Goddess why is my life like a soap opera I question internally.
"I said I'd think about it. Which is exactly what I am doing." I dryly reply.
"Well what is there to think about? He's your mate how could you not say yes!" Bella stated as she help up another dress for me.
Before arriving at the hospital for work, Chris had asked me if I would relocate to his territory come Monday when him, Mark and Bella are heading back.
My heart was beating a mile a minutes when he asked. I was so shocked all I could say was I would think about it before booking it into the hospital.
I has been a few hours, work was well work, I then met up with the girls so we could get our hair nails and makeup done for the ball.
It was now 5pm, only two hours until the ball.
The ball that I was attending with my mate.
The mate that wanted me to relocate 9 hours away from my home with him.
A decision that I still did not have an answer too.
I let out a long frustrated sigh falling back onto the couch in Jade's walk-in-closet.
"Okay stop thinking and start picking" Sara huffs as she grabs my hands and pulls me up into a seated position.
I looked around and saw Jade holding up a dark green evening dress.
It had long lace sleeves that were off the shoulder. The dress looked as if it were skin tight but had a mermaid style train flowing about a foot long.
She walks, well waddles, over to me holding up the dress "Here go try this on."
I open up my mouth to protest but before I can get a word out she shes
"and don't argue, I may be pregnant but I will still fight you!" she snarls jokingly.
I huff taking the dress and stump over to the bathroom.
I stripped out of my lounge wear and slid on the beautiful dress. Even though I couldn't zip it all the way because my arms don't move that way, I stared at myself in the mirror.
My light brown hair curled and done-up in a waterfall braid with a side part showing off a silver-gray flower hair pin.
My makeup was a light smokey eye and ruby red lipstick. For my nails they painted them as a classic french manicure and pedicure.
After looking myself over and feeling rather content I walked back out to the walk-in-closet and everyone gasped.
"Does it look bad?" I asked nervously.

"Goddess no you look stunning, geez you look better than me and that is not far because the ball is for me!" Bella hit me in the arm, joking of course.
"Yea Chris is not gonna know what hit him, in fact he might just kidnap you and take you back to Maine no matter what you say." Sara chimes in.
"Who is kidnapping my daughter and taking her to Maine? Could it be her mate, Alpha Chris? Her second chance mate who she didn't inform me about? Who I had to learn about from her father?"
My mother marches in anger lacing her words. Then she walks over to me, tears in her eyes, squiches me into a hug.
"Oh my beautiful baby! You look stunning, just stunning." She pulls away "I mean you all look beautiful don't get me wrong you all look gorgeous. Oh my gosh you all grow up so fast."
My mom starts to cry. Jade and Sara walk over to comfort her while Bella starts to cry trying not to mess up her makeup in the process.
"I am going to miss you guys so much! What if Mark's pack doesn't like me? What if I hate being there? What if I never get to see you guys again?" Bella babbles sniffling her nose.
I walk over to her and realize that I have made a decision on whether or not to move to Maine.
As I pull Bella into a bone crushing hug I whisper "You wont be alone because I will be there."
She pulls away and screams "Really! You are gonna say yes and come to Maine?!?" Bella re-pulls me into a hug.
I chuckle at my best friend's excitement.
"Yes I'll come, I'll give it three months and if all goes well I'll stay, if not I'll come back home." I explain my plan.
"So its official you are moving to Maine?" Sara asks.
"Yea" I nod "I guess I will tell him tonight at the ball."
After the initial shock of my decision to leave we got back to getting ready for the ball.
Bella had paired my green dress with silver gladiator sandals, silver dangling earrings, a simple silver necklace and the tennis bracelet Kyle gave me.
Jade was in a pale pink floor length dress with gold accessories and a gold chain belt under her chest defining her prominent pregnant belly.
Sara wore a yellow dress that was longer in the back than the front. The color complemented her dark brown complexion.
Lastly the belle of the ball, Bella, dawned a red ball gown which ensured that all eyes would be on her tonight. She was sure to be the most beautiful women in the room.

By time we were finally ready to go it was 6:45.
This meant that it was time find our respective dates and head over to where the ball was to take place.
It was no big shock that I found Chris talking with Mark. Once Mark saw Bella behind me he left to gush over how beautiful his mate looked.
This left me alone with Chris.
Now let me tell you how sexy he looked. This man knows how to work a suit.
He had on a midnight black suit, a white button up shirt and a silver tie with a stripped design.
"You look..wow..I mean goddess how did I get so lucky." Chris explained.
"You don't look so bad yourself" I chuckled.
I then walked over to him, placed my hands on his shoulder stood up on my tippy toes an whispered in his ear
"I hope there is room for one more in the car Monday" and then kiss his cheek.
