Parker's POV: (his version/recap of what happened)

    She was absolutely perfect. I had first seen her in the cafeteria, laughing and cutting it up with her friends with her long, dark hair and grey-blue eyes; that did something to me. When I first saw her, it was like a lightning bolt to my heart. It felt like my lungs constricted and I was barely breathing.
    
     I was told by my dad, Alpha Kade, that we had gotten the alliance of a werewolf who was a trained assassin and could help us in the war; he said her name was Burgundy Harlow. During dinner, my dad had pointed her out and my wolf started to shake. It took everything I had to stay in my human form. My dad asked why my eyes were glowing, and I told him I had found my mate. Then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw her get up from her seat. I had quickly left out the back door and went around to the front so that I could talk to her.
    
     When I caught her by the waist, my wolf immediately took over. Like a barbarian, I flipped her over my shoulder and ran. Once I had gained semi-control of my wolf, I ran into an alley and set her down. Her gray-blue eyes pierced the darkness and I breathed in her scent, raspberry and champagne. Then, without realizing what I was doing, I kissed her.
    
     I didn't regret spending my first kiss like that.

Burgundy POV:  
    
     It was kind of awkward with him basically tugging me along the sidewalk. "Yo, you do realize that your freaking legs are longer than mine? I have to take four steps to your one." He laughed, then said, "Oh, is that a problem? I don't have an issue with what I did before." and in a blink of an eye before I could digest his words, he bent over and his thick arms circled around my legs and I fell with a thunk over his shoulder. "The hell, Parker!" I fumed. "Could you refrain from acting like a barbarian in my presence, please and thank you!" I said maybe just a tad sarcastically. "Uh, nope. I'm good, really." I heard him say. "For the love of God." I muttered under my breath.

    When we arrived at my dorm (sidenote: how the hell did he know what dorm I was in?), he set me down and we walked up the stairs to my room. I unlocked the door and thank God that Nellie and Maxine weren't here yet. I sat down on my bed and he sat next to me and then stared at me for a really long time before scratching the back of his neck.
    
"Well," he began, "I know a lot about you, Burgundy." The way he said my name made my stomach twist. "What do you know about me, exactly?" I asked. I prayed to any deity out there that he didn't know about me being an assassin. That's kind of a bad way to start a relationship. And a relationship was kind of inevitable, since we were mates.
   
 "I know a bunch about your background. My dad is one of the head alphas that made the decision to hire you and he made sure that I knew who you were." fuckfuckfuckfuck. He did know. For some reason, this made me extremely sad. I don't know why the heck my wolf didn't want him to know that I was virtually ass squared.

    I winced. "Ummm...so you know why I was hired?" I asked. He raised an eyebrow. "Yes, I know that you will kill for the good of the war. I'm not a little kid, Darling. I can handle the truth." I heard all he said, but the pet name was killing me. "Darling?' I asked with a laugh. He blushed again! Which was kind of refreshing since all the guys I've been with were waayy past the blushing stage. "You are my darling," he said, smiling, "or, at least, you will be soon." He finished his sentence with a wink and another blush.     

     "You blush more than a woman visiting the gynecologist for the first time!" I exclaimed. He busted out laughing at that. "Sorry! It's not like you're the first girl I have ever tried to impress before!" What the actual fuck was going on with my wolf? She was squirming and begging to get out. I'm sure my eyes were glowing at this point.
