Connor's POV.

I have a huge event planned for tonight. Getting the pack to distract Amber with a show of affection, which they were more than happy to do, was part one of my plan.

What Amber doesn't know is last week I remembered our engagement. Since then I've paired up with everyone once Amber has gone to bed with Rebecca and planned things through.

I went out to the human town on " Business for the pack. " when in reality I went shopping at a jewelry store for a proper engagement ring. My father gave me the money for it. He said not to worry about paying him back.

I will one day but today I'll just thank him for it immensely. I've picked out a beautiful yet simple engagement ring for Amber. I plan on making this engagement one she will ever forget. That way it will hopefully erase the trauma that came with our original engagement.

Amber deserves the world. When we were about to settle down to cuddle as we had planned, Tasha called Amber over mind link with an emergency that needed her attention.

We had a fight staged between two shop owners and Amber has gone to settle it. Clayton soon showed up and started to take everything I've packed and he and my father went to set it up while I went to see Rebecca off as she left with Pamela and Sasha for the night.

She still talks through her mind link and powers but she's slowly begun to speak actual words now. Mainly when she's overwhelmed, to tired or just far to excited. Amber and I love it.

Once I wave bye to her and they leave in their car. I rush back inside and upstairs to get ready. Tasha will be leading her to where I am so I've got to look my best. I dressed in a nice suit. It used to belong to my father when he was my age and it fits perfectly.

I looked at myself in the mirror and took a deep breath before taking one last look at the ring inside it's box. This has to be perfect. Amber deserves it.

I slip the box into my pocket and leave to wait for Amber. Once I'm there I thank my father and Clayton for all their help and they hug me before they leave.

I've decided that the engagement will be in one of my favorite spots in the pack. We have one special tree deep in the forest that my mother brought back from her only trip to Japan many many years ago. It a cherry blossom tree. She made sure it grew and it's flourished on its own. There were pretty vines crawling up it and mixed some green in with the pink.

Some of the pack members used to use this place as a memorial for my mother after she passed. I haven't been here since I was arrested. I only just remembered it even existed thanks to Rebecca and her powers.

What the pack doesn't know though is that she was actually buried right beside her tree. My father told me this a few days ago and we both shed some tears for mom. The gravestone in the packs graveyard is just for show for those who want to pay her respects. My father may have been a bit out of his mind then but he still did good by my mom and I'll always thank him for that.

There was a nice blanket sat on the ground in front of the tree with a picnic basket in the middle. There was a small radio and jars around with recently caught fireflies. Plus some candles to lighten the place and give it a more romantic like atmosphere.

It didn't take more then twenty minutes before Amber showed up. I could barely keep my jaw from dropping when I saw her. She was wearing a gorgeous calf length red dress with short sleeves. A nice pearl necklace and red lipstick to match. Her eye shadow was a nice Smokey gray and she had on some eye liner that made her hazel eyes pop. She was wearing a pair of black flip flops. She looked amazing.

Tasha smiled and waved goodbye before rushing off and disappearing back the way she came. What really stick out was Amber's hair. She had it cut since I saw her last. It was now just an inch past her chin and was obviously let to air dry because the wavy curls in her brown hair were incredible. She had one side clipped back with a small black hair clip.

She smiled at me. " So, what do you think?" She asked.

I grinned. " You are and always will be the most stunning woman in the world Amber. I think you looked absolutely incredible. I love what you did to your hair. " I said.

She blushed a little at my compliments. " You don't look too bad yourself. " she said with a small smile.

She then looked around. " What is this place? It's beautiful. " she said.

" This is where my mother was buried. She planted this tree with her own two hands and tended to it year after year as it grew. I wanted you to see it and in a way, properly meet her. " I said.

Amber looked touched. " She had good taste. This tree looks so stunning. " she said.

" That it does. I've noticed one thing that has changed since I was here last. " I said.

Amber inches closer until she was by my side. " What would that be?" She asked.

" This tree isn't even in season anymore, yet it blooms all year round. If I'm correct I believe my mothers powers are keeping the tree healthy and blooming since she can't use them anymore. " I said.

" Is that even possible?" Asked Amber.

" I'm not a hundred percent positive on this so don't quote me. " that got a small giggle from her. " I believe that power needed somewhere to go. So it must have gone to the trees core. I'll do some research on this and see if I'm right but I'd like to think that my mother still lives inside of this tree. In a way a part of her is still around. " I said.

" That's very sweet Connor. I like it. " said Amber.

I walked over to the music and pressed play. A nice song used for slow dancing came on and I walked over to Amber and did a small bow and held my hand out to her.

" Would you do me the honor of dancing with me?" I asked.

She grinned. " I would be delighted. " she took my hand and with that I led her to our makeshift dance floor and this began a night we would never forget.
