" I love you..." I mumble as I snuggle my head into Noah's neck, inhaling his heavenly scent. Noah obviously laughed in his mind, his body moving closer to my own as we basked in the sunlight.

   " I love you too James..." He replies as a gentle breeze blows by us, making the flowers in the field sway.

   We ran for miles on end, our wolves enjoying both the freedom and bonding. It was probably around noon when we decided to take a break. Noah had pointed out a meadow off in the distance and suggested we'd go there. And now we lay in the field, snuggled up against each other.

   " Do you come here often?" I ask, laying my head on top of his own.

   " Sometimes...." Noah answers," I come here to think when I'm troubled."

   " Well..." My nose touches Noah's," Are you troubled?"

   He shakes his head," No...but if I ever was, you'd know where to find me." Noah rubs his head affectionately against my own," You know when I think about it, you're actually one of the few people who know of this place."

   A wolfie smile appears on my face," I'm glad I am one of the few." I say, nipping at Noah's ears lovingly. He yelps, but stays placed at my side. We lay like this for a while till a sudden thought comes a to my mind," Hey Noah?"

   " Yes?"

   I shift my body a bit," The day I brought you to the infirmary, the nurse had said something about that happening before," I feel his wolf's body stiffen," what happened?"

   " It was nothing..."

   " Noah...I know you're lying." I state," Something must have happened if the nurse asked you it happened again."

   Noah lets out a breath, moving away from me. He sat down with his back to me. Before I could whine, Noah hunches over, his bones dislocating and reshaping back to his human form. Noah shivers once back to his human form, his arms wrapping around himself," C-Can you promise me something..?" He asks, turning his head to his side to look at me. My wolf sits up at nods," If I tell you what happened, promise me you won't...k-kill Ben."

   " Depends."

   " James..." Noah whines.

   " Alright alright..." I say, moving a bit closer to Noah's bare body,"...but no promises..."

   " Good enough..." Noah sighs. He stays silent for a moment, obviously feeling unsure about continuing. I nudge his back with my wet cold nose, giving him comfort and saying to go on," Okay okay...it's just difficult to talk about it..."

   " I know, take your time." Noah turns his head again and smiles weakly at me.

   He turns back and lets out a shaky sigh before lifting his right wrist into my view, revealing several long, and deep looking cuts across his wrist; I had seen these before, on our date. And I had wanted to ask about it but it was obvious he didn't want to talk about his past,"H-He gave me these..." I hear Noah say, his voice barely audible.

   " Explain." I state, my tone going from concerned to serious.

   " B-Ben and his friends ambushed me one day...after p.e." Noah begins," They did what they normally did, punch, kick, name call...b-but Ben took it too far...."

    His body began to shake," H-He ordered his friends to leave...a-and pulled put a blade from his pocket..." Tears began to stream his face," H-He told me to end my life...b-because I was useless, a mutt, a faggot, and a...w-waste of space..." 

   I had to suppress a growl from escaping me; how can someone be so cruel to someone like Noah? He never did anything wrong and yet he is treated badly by Ben," H-He left the blade there and walked away...a-and his words were in a l-loop in my mind, and I-I actually believed him..." He silently cried, wrapping his arms back around himself," I-I was at a low point in my life, a-and I regretted doing it after the first few cuts..."

   I felt a whine escape me as my ears flattened against my head," I'm sorry love..." I say, nudging my nose against Noah's bare back.

   He stayed silent, quickly sobbing to himself," I-I am an omega..." I hear him whisper, making my ears perk up slightly.

   " So?"

   " I-I am weak James...a u-useless mutt..." Noah sobbed, his body shaking like a leaf in the wind," I-I didn't want you to know...I-I thought you'd think of me differently..."

   I get up and walk to the front of Noah, sitting down before him. I hunch over and shift back into my human form, looking into Noah's eyes with a serious expression. Noah whimpers and drops his gaze from mine," Noah. Look at me." I demand, but he just shakes his head and remained staring at the grass, tears continuing to fall down his face. I reach out and lifted Noah's chin so he may meet my gaze. His cheeks were stained with his own tears as his lip quivered," I would never look at you differently. I love you for you, and that will never change." My hand traces down Noah's face, looking at him with loving eyes.

   " James..." I remove my hand from his face and picked up his right arm, turning it over to reveal his cuts. I lift his wrist to my mouth and placed a kiss on the scar. I continue to place a kiss on every scar I see on his arm; this is probably why he never wears tank-tops or short-sleeves.

   I move my head up to stare into Noah's beautiful blue orbs, my head slowly leaning in until my lips brush against his. I cup his face with my hands and repeatedly kiss Noah until finally pulling away," I love you..." I subconsciously say, placing a small kiss on Noah's forehead.

   He smiles at me, a small sniffle coming from him," I love you too James..." Noah leans over and kisses me, only for a small moment before pulling away with a love-struck look in his eyes. He then looks up at the sky," Maybe we should head back. It would be best for me to check in with my parents before they send a search party out for me." I chuckle and nod my head in agreement.

   We both shift back into our wolves a begin to walk in the direction of Noah's house," Noah?"

   He turns his head towards me, having to kinda look up due to our size difference," Yes?"

   " Noah... I was wondering...." I begin, my gaze avoiding Noah's," Maybe next Saturday...you could, possibly...meet...my...dad...?"

   Noah stops in his tracks," Are you...serious?"

   I immediately start to panic," You don't have to if you don't want to! We can wait till you're-"

   " I'm ready."

   " I understand you're not ready, so we can do it some other time-"

   " James. I said I am ready to...m-meet your pack." He looks down nervously, his feet kicking around in the dirt," I can't avoid this forever...a-and we did have our first date, so..."

   " We'll just be meeting my father, we can meet the pack later if you're up to it." He nods, but his gaze remains on the ground.

   " But is your father, you know...okay with...." He gestures between the two of us with his head,"..us..?"

   I nod my head," Yes. He has actually been dying to meet you ever since I told him."

    " R-Really..?" I nod my head, but even in his wolf form, I could tell he was blushing," I'm glad. But I hope I don't make a bad first impression on him."

   " He will love you." I say, walking over and rubbing myself affectionately against Noah's smaller body," How could he not? You're an angel."

   " You're just saying that..." Noah mumbled, a wolfie smile on his face. I nip at his ears, causing him to yip. Noah jumps in front of me, his tail wagging excitedly," Race you back..!" He barks before running in the direction of his house.

   " No fair! You started before me!" I shout, but Noah continues to run," oh...its on." I bolt off after Noah, thanking The Moon Goddess for giving me such an amazing mate.
