Three months later

It's been three months since that incident with James, I'm 21 now. And its also been three months since I met Brian. He's been so good to me. He takes me out almost everyday, he buys me nice gifts, he tells me everyday how much he cares for me, so on and so on. I could go on and on about how much I care for this man. During those three months it's been some ups and downs. My wolf is hanging from a thin thread because I still haven't marked him yet. She almost did on one of the full moons but my mom and dad stepped in.

So every full moon I lock myself in the dungeon. Brian gets skeptical because I don't contact him at all during full moons. Whenever there's a full moon our senses are heightened. Touch, smell, taste, sight, and sounds are maxed. So that also means the mate bond is strong as well. My parents don't agree with me keeping this secret away from him. But ever since that incident with James, I've been scared to tell him. When he saw my eyes that day he looked terrified. And I don't want to scare my mate away. I just got him and I'm not letting him go not even for a second.

James. The thought of him makes me angry. That incident changed him. He's not talking to me anymore. He occasionally gives me a small smile but that's it. And when he does talk to me it's because of meetings we have. I've tried so many times to fix our relationship because even though he has been hurting me, he's still my best friend. He's the only thing I know. My only friend. He's just too stubborn to break through. He constantly says he can't see the love of his life with someone else. I'm just waiting for the day he finds his mate. So he could get over what he feels like is love for me.

Brian eventually told me about his family. How he was born and raised in California but moved here at the age of 23 when his mom died. He's 24 now. His dad is mentally unstable so that's why he's living with him. His mom. The poor woman died right on his birthday. They were headed to a new years party that day. His mom was unable to drive because she broke her leg a few weeks ago. They were driving on a pretty secluded, dark road. There were barely any lights to help them see, but his mom kept a pretty good eye out. When they made a sharp turn, there was a car headed straight towards them. His mom screamed at his dad to stop but it was too late. It was a head on collision. He heard his sister cry out in pain, and his dad grunting and groaning as they tumbled down the cliff. He heard nothing from his mom.

As everything begin to stop, he was too shocked to do anything. His little sister was crying and his dad was shaking his mom frantically. One thing lead to another and they were at her funeral. She died instantly. Her cast was pushed into her abdomen which caused it to penetrate her heart. His dad blamed himself ever since and became mentally ill. He started to drink himself almost to the brink of death and his sister distanced herself away from their father but she kept herself close to Brian. Three months ago she moved out of their house and with her aunt. She couldn't take their dads constant drinking and pent up anger.

She calls Brian from time to time but she hasn't visited him yet. Brian has been tearing himself up about it ever since she moved out. He keeps telling himself that if he had the strength to send their dad away to get help, like he did a few weeks ago, then she wouldn't had left him. He could've prevented everything she's been through. I comfort him every time she calls him. I don't know how to make his pain go away, all I can do is comfort him. Sometimes that's all anybody can do.

"Baby come here for a second." Brian said from the bathroom. I was currently in his room watching 'The Running Living.' I'm always at his place to get away from drama at home. Mostly to rub his scent on every part of my body. I tossed the blanket off of me and walked into the bathroom. I gasped and blushed at the sight I was seeing. Brian was standing there in nothing but a towel. He hasn't gotten into the shower yet because he was brushing his teeth. I turned around and closed my eyes. "Umm you s-should cover up." I said stammering over my words. I heard him chuckle and come towards me. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me flushed against him.
