I woke up to Gabby licking my face. I opened my eyes and grabbed her in my arms before trying to sit up. But I was unsuccessful because strong arms were wrapped around my waist. I turned in his grip and smiled at his peaceful face. Gabby reached her neck up and started licking his face as I giggled. His face scrunched up and he pulled away before his eyes opened. He looked at me and smiled before pulling me to hover over him. Gabby jumped out of my grip and down to the floor as I relaxed and laid my head on his chest. "Good morning, baby." He said, sounding tired. "What time did you get here?" I asked. "Around 3." He said. I looked at the clock on the night stand and saw it was 9 am. "Do you wanna go back to sleep?" I asked, looking into his eyes. "I won't be able to." He said. "What did you wanna talk about?" He asked. I rolled off of him and sat up, crossing my legs. He sat up as well and leaned against the head board. "Did you know that Johnny is a werewolf?" I asked. His eyes widened and I saw panic flash. "I'm not mad. He told me that he was, but I wanted to know if you knew." I said. "Yes, I know." He said. "How many werewolves are in this industry?" I asked. "That I know of?" He asked then looked up in thought. He started to count them on his finger while mumbling to himself. I watched his hands and saw he was already up to 8. "About 9." He said. "Who?" I asked. "Roman, Seth, Dean, Johnny, Peyton, Lexi, AJ, and Dolph." He said. I counted back how many names he said then furrowed my brows. "But that's only 8. You said 9." I said. He stared in my eyes for a moment before he blinked and his flashed gold. My own widened and I didn't move. "Please don't be afraid." He begged, his eyes going back to their green-ish grey color. "I'm not." I said. "Good, cause I would never hurt you. I would never even think about it. And I promise, I was gonna tell you sooner. But I didn't know how you would react and I didn't wanna lose you." He rambled. "Am I your mate?" I asked. "Johnny said that Candice is his mate. Am I yours?" I asked again. "Yes." He said. "That's why I took to you so quickly. Usually, girls don't interest me to the point I want a relationship. Mainly cause I was waiting to meet my mate before I got into something serious. Then you came along and the reason Dean said I liked to meet the newbies is because he makes me. Cause he wanted me to find my mate as soon as possible." He said. "So you met every newbie?" I asked. "Yes. Because I didn't know who it would be. And Dean had suspicions that I liked both genders. I don't and I never did. But he thought I did." He said. "Mainly because I always stayed near Tye down in NXT. But he's my best friend. I don't question why Dean always stays around Seth and Roman because I know they are his best friends. His brothers. Tye is my brother. But he thought I was into him because of how close we actually are." He said. "He's like the brother I never had." He added softly. I grabbed his hands in mine and he looked up at me. "Are you affected by the full moon?" I asked. He nodded and I sighed. "All of us shift every month because of the full moon." He said. "How far do you shift?" I asked. "Full wolf." He said. "How big is your wolf?" I asked. "Pretty big. It's taller than a great Dane. Thicker than a normal wolf. I'd say as a wolf, I'd take up half of this bed or more." He said. "Tonight is a full moon. Do I have to worry about you killing my baby?" I asked as Gabby scratched at the bed. I reached down and picked her up. "No, I know who she is and how much she means to you. And honestly, me and my wolf love her. So no, she is not in any danger." He said. "But you haven't shifted around her. How do you know your wolf loves her?" I asked. "Because my wolf talks to me. Even when I'm not shifted. He talks to me. He tells me how he's feeling and what he wants to do. A lot of the time, he's animalistic and wants to mate and wants to eat. But I bargain with him." He said. "He wants to mate?" I asked. "I'm not forcing you. And I'm not gonna go to another woman. My wolf loves you. Neither of us would ever do that to you." He said. "Your wolf loves me?" I asked. He got quiet for a moment. "Does.. Does that mean you love me?" I asked. He was quiet but he never took his gaze from my eyes. "I've loved you from the moment I laid eyes on you. That's how it works. When we find our mate, it's love at first sight. You don't have to say it back until you're 100% sure and ready. But since I'm telling you this now, might as well tell you everything." He said after a few moments. "So, you love me?" I asked. "Yes." He responded with no hesitation and I could see in his eyes that he was telling the truth. "Truly and genuinely?" I asked, starting to feel overwhelmed with emotion. And I think he could sense it. "100%." He said with worried eyes. And tears started to well up in mine. "Really?" I asked, my voice in a higher pitch as a smile came to my lips. "Of course." He said, wiping the tear as it fell. He pulled me close and held me as I cried from happiness.

Elias' POV

"Truly and genuinely?" She asked me. And I could sense how she was feeling. All I could smell was happy and overwhelmed and love and mate. "100%." I said, looking at her worriedly. I didn't want her to overwhelm herself. And when I saw tears well up in her eyes, I felt my protectiveness kick in. But I sensed that she was immensely happy and that made me feel better. "Really?" Her voice higher in octave and it made me smile. "Of course." I said, wiping a tear as it fell. I pulled her close to me as she started to cry from happiness and held her as close as possible. I just made myself vulnerable to her and I hope she won't take advantage. The last time I was vulnerable with a woman, she broke me. I was 17 at that time. That's why I have a hard time with women. But I don't think she would hurt me intentionally. She's incredibly happy because I told her that I love her. And I know she has a sensitive heart as well. She's been though a lot with relationships. So I really don't think she'd do anything to hurt me. I love this woman in my arms. And I will love her for eternity.
