I couldn't believe it. The minute his hand touched mine, I knew he was the one for me. It was like there was nothing positive in my life until his hand touched mine.

My spirit wolf, North now belonged to him. Is this what it felt like to love and be loved? I know this sounds very Disney but I am in love with Weston. It was like he was hypnotizing me and I would do anything for him.

A charismatic smile fell on his lips, " Adrianna, may I have the honor of sitting next to you at dinner tonight? I would love to get to know you more."

I was about to say something when a harsh voice suddenly said, " She's sitting with me tonight. You can sit next to Titus." I turned around and suddenly Vince was behind me. All I wanted to do right now was to make him angry because that seems to be all he wants to do to me.

I turned back to Weston and said, " He's just kidding, I would be glad to sit next to you at dinner." Vince tried to grab my arm to turn me around but I elbowed him in the gut which made him bend over in pain.

I took Weston's arm and we all went into the dining room to eat. Vince had his chef prepare the whole pack their favorite food: steak. They all started to dig in and Weston started asking questions about me. Me? I know I'm nothing special but here is someone who is actually interested in my life.

I learned a lot about him too. He and his were very close, especially after his mother died when he was 2. He lost his father though a year ago and that hit him hard. When he first became beta, he bought his father a house. He was so sweet and he was everything I wanted in a guy: sweet, smart, caring, and very good-looking. It was almost too good to be true.

I looked at the head of the table and there was Vince, his nostrils flared and his eyes a deep red which meant he was angry. Why is he being such a baby? He should be happy. Now that I have my true soulmate, he can marry my sister now and they can have annoying little pups together. Despite my confusion though, I looked over at him and gave him a smirk which only made him angrier.

Vince motioned for his butler to come forward and he whispered something in his ear. Within seconds, the butler came over to me and took my half-finished plate of steak away. " Wha-?" I said confused.

" You'll have to excuse Miss. Addykins, " Vince said, knowing that I hated that stupid nickname, " She looks unwell and she is very stubborn and won't admit it." He then looked at me with his red eyes, " She's going to head to her room now and I'll check on her later."

I shot a glare at him and his stare remained. I got up then, " Good evening gentlemen." I then went up to my room where I knew I would be in trouble.

My maids (the ladies who helped dressed me earlier) were instructed to not bring dinner or dessert up to me tonight. He told them that in order for me to get something to eat, I had to apologize to him for my behavior at dinner. I would rather starve than say I'm sorry to that barbarian.

After everyone was done with their dinner, I heard the loud stomp of what I thought was Vince come up the stairs. I put on my robe and went to open the door but instead of Vince at the door, it was Weston. However, being him was Vince which made me frown. " To what do I owe this pleasure, gentlemen?" I said half-sarcastically.

" Adrianna, I would like to apologize for my behavior at dinner. I did not realize that you had a prior commitment to Vince at dinner. I hope you can forgive him, " You have no need to apologize. Some people just do not have any manners." I looked over at Vince who was still fuming.

Weston bowed to me and kissed my hand which made me smile. He then turned around and left to join the rest of the pack.

Vince then stood by the doorway and I decided I was going to ignore him which only made him angrier. " Adrianna, I am sorry." He suddenly said which made me turn around, " It was wrong for me to lose my temper at dinner. However, you were being unreasonable."

My teeth gritted, " What did you just say to me?" He knew I was pissed off now which only made his smirk grow, " You heard me, I think you are being unreasonable. If you really thought sitting with Weston at dinner would make me angry or jealous, you are wrong. It takes a lot to make me angry, not to mention that I am in love with Carla and nothing can change that. Especially not my "soul mate" flirting with my pack."

I smirked back at him, knowing that he was lying. I could feel his heartbeat quicken as he said those words which meant he was lying. So I decided to test him.

" That's good then because you see Weston invited me to go out to dinner with him sometime. I was thinking of saying yes but I thought you were jealous so I guess now that I know you're not, I'll call him tomorrow and say yes."

He gulped but then his stare got harsh again, " Why do you think I would care? Please, if you can find someone who can even stand to be in the same room with you, good on you." I knew he was lying then too.

" Fine and maybe I'll let him kiss me too. I mean, after all, he is my true soulmate," His wolf was jealous, I could feel it but that just made me feel more accomplished. Before he could retaliate, I could see his wolf was angry so he left in a hurry to run off all the jealous energy.

My wolf was angry too so I went outside and decided to run too. While out there, I caught Vince out there. He was screaming and his face was covered in tears. My emotions softened.

He was sitting on a large stone by a lake with his hands covering his face. I walked over to him and reluctantly, I put my arm around his shoulder. I could tell he wanted to move away from me but I wouldn't let him.

" Hey, I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have provoked you back there. With everything that's going on right now, it makes me so angry and for some reason, I lashed out at you. I think that with everything that's happening, you and I have to stick together. We can't just be angry at each other all the time. It's exhausting. I don't think we should be lovers because you love Carla and I love Weston. However, I do think we have a chance at being friends if we put all our problems aside."

He looked up at me and a wage of relief washed over his face, " I'm sorry too. My wolf got jealous and I let that cloud my judgment. Despite what Carla or your father think, you deserve to be happy Adrianna. So you should go call Weston and tell him that you want to go out with him. I'll pay for everything and you two go have a nice time."

I gave him a friendly kiss on the cheek, " Thank you, I really hope we can be friends. You're really nice actually when you're not trying to get on my nerves. You hiring the maids to make me look nice was the nicest thing anyone has done for me in a while."

Okay, so it would be a while before he and I would be friends. He'll do things that will make me angry and I will still do things that will make him angry but we'll work on that. However, it does feel nicer knowing that I have someone to call my friend. It wad a feeling I haven't been used to since Aeden died.
