When I woke up, I remembered that I was in Leo's bed. I turned on my side to look and saw that Leo wasn't in it, and I could see him on the couch. I felt myself sigh relieved, but then I started to remember more from last night. My face turned scarlet when I came to the thought of him seeing me and touching me when I was naked. I hid under the sheets as I gripped my face in horror as my hands started to tremble.

I was thankful that he didn't do anything to me, but the idea alone that I was in that state and I was too vulnerable to do anything. I felt like I am going to die from embarrassment and shame as great as this that it seemed to be a solution to gain any honor or pride I had left. I grabbed the pillow and started to hug it as I wondered how my family was doing. I hope that Mom and Dad are feeling better and I wonder how Summer must be feeling. I felt myself slowly starting to cry once I remembered how much I miss them. I hope that one day Leo will let me see them and make shore Summer is alright.

I stood out of bed and quietly walked into the bathroom to start brushing my hair, and as I moved it I saw in the mirror the mark on my neck. It was a small total eclipse tattoo with parts stretching out kinda like the one Leo has. His was above his heart and stretched outwards.

It looked nice but I felt a little self conscious at the thought of someone looking at it. In the Black Sun pack there are strict rules; ones I try to follow to the key. One of the rules is that the women isn't supposed to speak unless spoken too, but I think that was why I was bracing myself when I asked Leo why he wouldn't let me go. That's one of the things I broke and is why it surprised me that he didn't even yell at me. I don't sit down only if I'm waiting for him to come back. Another rule they have is that the man is the one to lead the women, so I have to walk behind him at all times. This doesn't bother me because he's the one I'm okay leading me since I don't know where to go or what to do in my new pack. One rule I herd of was the one that the woman couldn't sit by themselves, and had to either sit on the mates lap or kneel beside the mate.

I found that that was what separated Leo, Liz, and Jay. They didn't seem too strict about it. I wondered why that was but then I finished and walked back into the bedroom. I walked over to the couch wondering if he was still asleep, because I usually sleep in more than most people. I noticed he was still asleep and he let me have the blanket too as his arm had the pillow clenched. His hair looked messy and his face surprisingly looked relaxed and almost....cute, but I wasn't shore how that worked. But I knew well enough that one of the rules to follow is the idea of sleeping in separate beds. It's because of the belief of separating making children and not. I didn't have a problem with it, but the idea of being with someone and making the idea of being with your mate makes sharing a bed seem more like an insinuation that seemed wrong. Surprisingly enough not many kids are born here and they usually were all males. It was surprising that he hadn't gotten a second smaller bed for me. I'd think he'd do that as one of the ways to prepare for having me live with him. 

I started to pull myself away from looking at him which was way longer than it should have been. Then I felt hesitant to try and wake him, but I didn't want to leave the room or make him mad. But just as I was going to walk away I herd him move making me freeze nervously feeling conflicted whether or not to turn my head around. But then I herd him say almost sleepily
