Sorry I have not updated in a while, but I just got back from a 60 mile canoe trip with my youth group. I hope you guys understand!

Here's the next chapter!

[WARNING: A steamy scene ahead (it may kind of be long)]

[UNEDITED]

My eyes slowly opened because of the light streaming through the large window. I felt arms tighten around my waist.

I turned around to see a sleeping Parker. His dark hair hung messily in his face and his lips were slightly parted. He looked so peaceful yet still so sexy even when he's asleep. My eyes wandered down to his bare chest.

I reached out and touched his tattoos. I stared at them curiously. Why did he pick a rose? (A/N forgive me if she's asked this question already. I tried looking to see if she has but I couldn't find anything, so I hope it isn't repeating.)

My fingers traced the intricate designs before I heard Parker's voice.

"Do you like what you see?" he asked confidently.

I smiled at him and nodded. "I do."

He smiled back at me. My eyes followed their way back to his tattoo.

"Why do you have a tattoo of a rose?" I asked him curiously.

He was silent for a moment before he responded. "When I was young, my mother told me to give my mate a rose whenever I messed up. It as her favorite flower because it symbolizes love, something so amazing to experience."

His hand reached up and cupped my cheek. "Some of the beautiful things in life are worth having even if it is surrounded by thorns. Love is like a rose, so beautiful but can be painful to touch."

I let his words sink into my head. Before I could say anything, he continued, "I got these tattoos because I wanted to save myself for my mate. It represents the love I want to have for my mate. I got it right after I became Alpha."

I smiled at him and tilted my head up to look at him. He smiled back at me and his fingers started playing with my hair.

I don't know how it happened, but I fell back asleep, my head resting against his chest.

I walked into the small room, knocking on the slightly opened door. Hannah looked over her shoulder at me and grinned. She looked clean and had a pair of new clothes on.

"How are you feeling?" I asked her.

"I'm feeling great. Everyone here is so nice," she responded.

"I was about to head out to Starbucks. You want to come?" I asked. She stared at me with confusion.

"What's Starbucks?"

I frowned. I completely forgot that she was a Rogue for most of her life, so she probably never went there.

"It's a nice place. I'm sure you'll like it."

She nodded her head and got up. We exited the pack house and made our way to Starbucks.

I opened the door and watched as she walked in and grinned as soon as she smelled all of the sweets.

I followed after her as she immediately went to the display case full of all the different desserts and treats.

"See anything you like?" I asked her. She nodded excitedly and picked one out. I handed the lady at the cash register money after ordering my drink.

I led Hannah to a table but stopped when I saw Dakota and Peyton sitting at a booth together. Both of them saw me and waved me over. Hannah and I both walked over to them.

"Hey, Jamie!" Peyton greeted me. A smirk then crawled up her face.

"So, last night..." she began but Dakota cut her off.

"Peyton—"

She ignored him and continued, "He marked you and completed the process, didn't he! How was it?"

I opened my mouth to protest but she grinned. "Don't act like the whole pack didn't hear you guys."

My cheeks reddened and I glanced at Dakota, who shrugged and took a sip of his coffee. "It's true," he said.

I frowned but brushed them both off before turning to Hannah. "Guys, this is Hannah. Hannah this is Peyton and her mate Dakota."

Peyton stuck hr hand out and smiled. "It's nice to meet you, Hannah."

Hannah smiled and shook her hand, "It's nice to meet you, too."

She turned to Dakota and froze. A look passed across her face that matched Dakota's.

A look of shock.

Dakota was first to speak, "Hannah? You're alive?"

She quickly nodded her head. I noticed tears well up in her eyes before Dakota reached out and pulled her into a tight embrace.

"I missed you so much," Hannah whispered. Tears now fell from both of their eyes. "Where have you been? I can't believe you're okay."

I stared at the two and noticed that had almost the same features. Both had the same hair and eye color. They're siblings. I remembered Hannah telling me she didn't know where her brother was.

They pulled away and smiled. Dakota asked, "What happened?"

"I was taken in by a rogue pack and they took care of me. They were such nice people," she told him. I also remembered her saying that all of them but her and Kyle were killed.

They kept talking as I went to go pick up our order. I went back to the table and took a seat next to Peyton, who was smiling at them.

As they kept talking, my thoughts drifted towards what happened yesterday. Why did the Moon Goddess tell Parker and I that our child will be important? And why couldn't she tell us why? Did the Rogue King know why? It that why he wanted me?

Did anyone else know about this?

"Why is he so perfect?" Kennedy commented as we all sat in the theater room.

"I don't know! There is seriously nothing wrong with him. Not a single thing," Riley added.

All of us girls agreed while the guys scoffed. Well, all but Jonas who decided to pitch in. "Isn't he dreamy?" He raised his voice a few octaves higher and added a giggle after it. "He's got nice dark hair and beautiful eyes."

We laughed and instantly agreed. Stiles is definitely perfect. Well, all of the guys in Teen Wolf are.

We were binge watching episodes. We started from the beginning even though we've seen them all. Currently we were on season 4.

Personally, one of my favorites.

"Let's be honest, we all need a little bit of Derek," Peyton commented.

"Hey!" Dakota growled. Peyton smirked at him and rolled her eyes.

"She's not wrong," I said while we watched a shirtless Derek on the screen.

This time Parker growled. He leaned over and whispered in my ear, "You're getting it later."

Desire filled me as I smirked at him, "Whatever you say, but it still doesn't change my opinion."

His grip on my thigh tightened and the smirk on my lips didn't falter as he narrowed his eyes.

I definitely missed this, hanging with my friends. I'm looking forward to spending more time with them.

I felt my hair get pushed away from my neck.

I gave Parker a questioning look as he stared at my neck.

"What?" I whispered to him.

"Your mark..." he responded, tracing his finger along it, sparks igniting from his touch. "It's different, similar to mine."

"What do you mean?" I asked furrowing my eyebrows.

Instead of answering, he stood up and pulled me up with him. Nobody questioned us as we left the room.

Parker pulled me into the nearest bathroom, closing the door behind him.

I moved my hair away from my neck and stared at my mark through the mirror. My mark was somewhat like Parker's. Both of our marks included a crescent moon and initials. Mine, however, was centered inside of a crown.

I gaped at it and trailed my fingers over it.

Parker stood behind me, staring and my reflection.

"Do you think this has something to do with what the Moon Goddess told us about our first born child?" I asked, my cheeks heating up slightly at he thought of us having a child. I couldn't help but feel excited about having one of our own.

I met Parker's eyes through the mirror. He nodded his head. "It probably does."

He reached towards the door knob and locked it. His eyes never left mine. In fact, they darkened with lust.

I didn't realize how close we really were until I noticed him place his hands on either side of me, trapping me against the counter.

He leaned forward so his breath hit the side of my ear. His lips lightly grazed it and I shivered with delight.

My wolf yearned for his and I could feel his yearning for mine. The bond between us was complete and now it was nearly impossible for us to stay away from each other.

His lips found their way behind my ear. I held my breath and gripped the counter.

They moved down the side of my neck slowly. Too slow that had me aching with desire to just switch places with him and make him feel good.

I let out a small breathy moan before biting my lip as Parker took a small bit of skin between his teeth. He smiled against my skin.

"You like that?" He asked huskily.

His hands moved away from the counter and settled on my hips. He pushed himself closer to me as his lips moved down to my mark.

Another sound tumbled passed my lips as a pleasurable sensation filled me when he kissed the mark, which had my back arching into him.

His grip tightened on my hips before he turned me around and lifted me onto the counter. He stood between my legs and I wrapped my legs around his waist.

Even with me sitting on the counter he was still taller. He stared down at me with eyes full of lust, hunger, and love. I felt myself getting lost in his green eyes.

His hands gripped my thighs and pulled me closer to him and my hands reached up and tangled in his hair.

I pushed his head down and pressed my lips to his. He immediately kissed back, our lips moving slowly together.

I'll definitely never get used to the feeling of his lips against mine. So soft and addictive.

One of his hands left my thighs and cupped the side of my neck. He tilted his head and deepened the kiss.

He groaned as I tugged on his hair and he broke away for a moment to stare at me, his lips plump and swollen.

"God I love you so much," he mumbled before kissing me again.

"And I love you," I responded, my lips lightly grazing his as I speak.

He let out another groan as I hooked a finger over his belt and pulled him impossibly closer.

I moved my mouth away from his and moved it down to his neck, now kissing his mark.

He moaned as one of his hands reached for my hair and tangled in it. I could feel him growing underneath me. He wanted me just as much as I wanted him.

I moved my hips against him and a breathy moan left my lips at the pleasure. He growled and pulled my head back to look down at me.

"You're such a fucking tease, you know that?" He growled out.

I grinned at him, "I know."

He sealed his lips over mine once again and soon we were making out again.

My hands explored his body as his explored mine. Soon enough our clothes were discarded onto the floor and my lips explored his exposed skin.

I kissed his tattoos which he seemed too like.

We couldn't get enough of each other. This will be more difficult then I thought. No work will get done or anything if we are constantly going to be wanting to be together.

It seemed like we were only in there for minutes but it was actually hours.

"We should—" I said in between kisses, "Probably head back."

Parker continued down my neck and his hands groped my ass. "I know," he groaned but he didn't stop.

I lifted his face back up and kissed his lips. He immediately responded.

"Then stop kissing me," I mumbled against his lips as he kissed me with great intensity.

He growled in response, "You're kissing me."

I rolled my eyes. That's true but I can't help it. "I can't help it," I snapped.

He chuckled darkly, "Me neither."

When we got back to the theater room, my hair was slightly messy and my clothes were wrinkled, and I'm pretty sure my lips were swollen.

Peyton was the first one to turn to us right when we walked in.

"Where were you guys? You were gone for hours?"

Instead of answering her I asked, "You guys are still in here?"

Peyton narrowed her eyes at me. A small smirk creeping on her face. "Never mind. I already know," she said with a knowing look.

I glanced sideways at Parker, who looked composed as if nothing happened even though his lips were swollen also and his hair was messy from me running my fingers through it. He looked extremely hot.

"Watch it," he said lowly. My cheeks heated up as he could feel the thoughts going through my head.

I took a seat next to Parker, who draped an arm around my shoulder.

Peyton turned back around and propped her legs up on Dakota's lap. He didn't seem to mind. I noticed how every few seconds he would glance at her with a small smile.

If that's not love, then I don't know what is.

I felt Parker take my hand in his and I smiled.

If I'm being honest, I don't regret rejecting Parker. It changed the both of us and now we are closer than ever.

My fear of commitment is now gone and I'm more than willing to make this work.

Parker makes me feel safe and loved. I've never been so happy and it's refreshing.

I tightened my hold on his hand. He glanced down at me and smiled, his whole face lighting up.

I definitely love this Alpha.

That's the last chapter of RTA and next I will be making an epilogue.

It's been roughly two years since I started this book and it's definitely come a long way. I never thought that my book would get millions of reads and it's all thanks to you guys.

I will be making a sequel to this book. It will be somewhat connected to this book and the characters from this book will make an appearance.

I have also been requested to do a side story with Peyton and Dakota. I want to know what are you guys' thought on it.

Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter. Love you guys!
