Shawn:

"You have got to be kidding me.", I groaned and threw the remote aside. There is nothing on tv. How lame. And worst, there is nothing to do on a weekend. How lame am I? Since I had no work today, I'm stuck here...alone. This would be a good time to have a girl around, but sadly the one I want isn't even my girl.

I decided to leave on the ABC's channel and let the movie play, but I was barley paying attention to the movie Jersey Girl.

I pulled my arm behind my head and laid my head down on it as I stared bored-ly at the tv. My thoughts weren't even on the tv, but Makenna and the whole Monday thing. God, she's bin stressing over it so much and call me selfish, but I wish she wouldn't so she could spend time with me. I know, it's messed up of me, but I feel like it's more on her mind then me.

Knock...

I heard a single knock at the door and I raised an eyebrow, but I smelt a wonder sent of green apples fill my nose, which I recognize so easily to belonging to one person.

Still, it made my eyebrows forward together in confused as I got up and walked over to the door.

I turned the knob of the door and opened it. Makenna stood there, looking up at me, "You would never believe what I just learned.",

I leaned against the door frame, "Did you walk here?", I asked. We bin to each house before once and her house of like fifteen minutes away, but it's seven o'clock and it's dark outside. What if some creep could have kidnapped her?

God, look at me. I get so scared of her walking around alone. I hate how protective I can be towards her.

She looked up at me confused, "I have to ask you something...and it might sound crazy.",

This time, I was the one to give her a confused look. "Okay?",

She licked her lips and quickly looked away for a few seconds before looking back at me. "Are...are you a--a werewolf?",

My face dropped as I just stared at her and I leaned up from the frame of the door. Did she just ask me what I think she asked me? Sadly, she did. How could she have wondered that? I don't act weird around her and I kept the secret very well from her. I controled my wolf side from doing anything suspicious. So, why is she asking me this? Great, Travis is going to be pissed at me later.

"W-why--why would you ask that?", I stuttered as I stuffed my hands in my pocket, afraid I'm going to blurt it out any second. I need to control the heavy feeling on me chest and I think you could easily tell I'm lying.

"Oh, God, it's true.", she said, taking a stepping back.

"Wait, Makenna!", I said, grabbing her arm before she could turn and run.

She looked up at me with a scared look, "Please, don't hurt me.", she said, trying to get out of my grip.

"I wont hurt you! I am a wolf, but I'm not dangerous.", I quickly looked her.

"Your not dangerous?", she questioned, but it was coldly. "Shawn, you killed people!", she freaked as tried again to run.

"My kind doesn't kill like in the movies! We have control ourselves and it's not like we block out.", I said. "Makenna, please, just let me explain!", I said, pulling her into my chest so she could stop.

She stopped struggling, but she was shaking in my arms, "H-how is this possible? How can you be a-a-a werewolf?", she asked.

I shrugged, "I don't know, but it run in the Native American spirits. I'll explain more inside.",

She nodded her head, "O-okay.",

I took her hand and walked back into the apartment, closing the door behind us. I led her over to the couch, but when I sat down, she took her hand out of mine and stood in front of me. I sighed and leaned back in the couch, "The Natives had a secret from the explorer from Europe--some people in their tribes were wolves. They don't know how and explain how they become wolves whenever they want, but they believe it was the work of the spirits.",

She crossed her arms over her chest, "But your not Native American.",

"I know.", I said. "When all that shit broke out with the whites and Native and killings happens, the wolves of the Cherokee tribe went nuts and wanted to take revenge, so they went out and kill the whites. But when they were there to kill the people, they were shot by them, but some of the people were bitten or scratched, so it turns out, they also changed into wolves. Werewolves can either be born or changed. It's like the matter of breeding from different races you can say. But I wasn't born one, I was turned into a werewolf...by Travis.",

Makenna arms drop, "Travis is one to?",

I nodded, "Yeah. He was turned by a friend of his.",

She crossed her arms over her chest again and pressed her lips together, "And so is Dylan Blackwood.", she said, not really making it a question.

I looked up at her confused, "How do you know this? How do you know about what I am?", I asked. I was very careful around her. Someone had to tell her.

Makenna opened her mouth, but when she was about to speak, the door opened with someone whistling. "Hey, Shawn, they didn't have-", Travis cut himself off when he saw Makenna. He looked surprised, but also confused. I saw in a plastic bag some Chinese food. "Oh, um, hey Makenna.", he said, sitting the food down on the table.

"You jerk!", she growled as she walked up to him and I quickly snapped up from the couch to stop her cause she sounded so pissed off. "You know all along and you never--hey, Shawn, put me down!", she yelled after slapping him in the face, but I snaked my arms around her waist and lifted her up from the ground a little to pulled her away.

Travis put his hand under his chin, "Okay, that didn't hurt, but it is shocking. And what are you talking about, Makenna?",

"Oh, don't play blonde with me!", she yelled. "Like you didn't know! I can't believe you would keep something like this to yourself! I have the right to know!",

Travis shrugged, "Know what?", he yelled, but it wasn't harsh or cold, but totally confused.

"Stop lying! I know you know Dylan Blackwood is my father!", she yelled back.

From shock, my arms dropped from my wait and Makenna fell on the ground. She made a shriek sound and groaned. Finally realizing what I just did, I grabbed her upper up and pulled her up, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that. Did you just say you know Dylan Blackwood you father?",

She nodded her head, "Yeah.", she turned her head to scowl at Travis. "And you had to keep something like this from me.",

Travis mouth was opened, "Wait, wait, wait! Makenna, he's just playing with your mind. What happen Monday, he was just playing-",

She walked up to stand in front of him like she was going to hover him--if she wasn't five-four. So, she pretty much looked up at my six-two brother, but she didn't look intimidated by they're height difference. "No, Travis, I went home and found my mother sleeping with him! Then they told me he was my father! No more games like you don't know.",

Not only was Travis month hanging open, but mine was also. Whoa! She went home to find her mother sleeping with the Alpha of Indiana? Whoa, that's some crazy shit.

Travis waved his one hand and squeezed his eyes shut as said, "Wait, what? That's impossible. Makenna, believe me, I didn't know this.", he said, sounding so confused.

Makenna stepped back and her face drop, "Wait, you really didn't know?",

He opened his eyes and dropped his hand, "No, of course not. Dylan wouldn't tell me that. That's impossible cause he's a--never mind.", he said.

She crossed her arm over her shoulder, "Oh, I know what he is! I know what all of you are! All three of you--including Hayden--are freaking werewolves!",

Travis stared at her shocking for a few moment, but than he gave a fake laugh, "Makenna, are you okay?", he asked, tapping the side of her head with his index finger. "Did what happen to you today do something with your head. I can understand walking in on your mom doing another guy that isn't your father can screw with your brain, but come on! Werewolves?",

Oh, I didn't not like how he's touching her. Okay, I get he's just trying to convince her, but she already know and I just plan out don't like another guy scent on her and I don't care if it's my brother. I put hand around Makenna upper arm and pulled her in my chest and she let a low squeal out in surprise, "Don't do that, man.", I said, giving him a scowl. "Anyways, she's know. I don't know how, but she does.",

Travis eyes widen, but the dropped at he scowled at me, "What did you do, Shawn? You have been very carefully before-",

"It's wasn't me-",

Makenna pushed herself out of my arm, "It was Dylan who told me.", she said. She looked back and forth at me and Travis as we gave her a shock look. "What?", she shrugged. "I don't know why, but he just came out and said it. And his eyes changed color--yellow.",

She bit down on her lower lips as we just stared at her. Alpha Dylan couldn't be her father! I mean, if he is, why is Makenna human?

Travis hand reached up and grabbed her chin and she winced, "I can see it now.", he said. "Same chin, bottom lip size, eyes, ears, and before you dyed you hair when it was dark brown.",

I let out a low growl at him, "Stop touching her.", I said, smacking his hand away. He rolled his eyes. I grabbed her hand, "You okay?",

She rubbed her chin a little, "Yeah. But damn, Travis, you have a strong grip.",

"I'm the strong wolf.", he said, opening the plastic bag. "Shawn the fast one.". I rolled my eyes and looked down at my mate chin. She wouldn't have a mark there and if she would, I would have to leave a bruise on Travis face for hurting her. "Oh, shit!", Travis yelled.

Makenna and I jumped, "What?", we both said.

"Makenna mother is Alpha Dylan mate! He must of not have mark her and that's why Makenna human!", he said, chucking. "I knew there had to be a reason why Makenna isn't a werewolf, it's because Alpha Dylan never marked Cassie!",

That did make perfect sense kind a. Makenna mom--Cassie must have never let Alpha Dylan mark her and marking a mate important so both can be one. When Cassie got pregnant, it must have been to late to mark her so Makenna could be a full werewolf.

"Wha--what are you guys talking about?", Makenna asked, looking confused. "What are you talking about 'mate' and 'mark'?", she asked.

Travis looked at me, "This is your call, man. You can tell her.", he said, grabbing the bag and walk over to the kitchen.

"Tell me what?", Makenna asked, looking up at me.

I sighed, ready to tell her truth. I can't held it in anymore and I doubt I can stay away from her anymore. She's on my mind twenty-four seven and I think if I don't just tell her now, I'll lose her. I remember Alpha Dylan telling me he lost his mate and I now get what that story meant about getting his mate pregnant and she left him. I don't want that to happen. No, I forbid it to happen. I can't think of life without Makenna. She changed my life. I feel like a better person when i'm around her--she makes me want to do something with my life so I can make her happy in the future. Yeah...I'm whipped...sadly, but loving it.

I took her hand and walked back over to the couch. I sat down and put her on my lap. When she tried to move, I put my hand on her thigh to stop her movement and shook my head. She gave me a confused look, but stayed.

"There's something important when you're a werewolf,", I started. "There's this thing called...mating. It's where a werewolf--female or male--have a bond with a certain human. Your like two halves and we're not sure how to explain, but it's called mated. The one your suppose to spend the rest of your life with and you can't help but fall in love with each other. You're the same with each other.",

"Okay...?", she said, confused still. "And...that's what my mom and Dylan are? They're...mated?",

I nodded my head, "Yeah. But your mom must be to stubborn to let Alpha Dylan--your father, in to love her. He must have never marked while they were together and so they were never one--there halves never join and that must be why your human--you got your genes from you mom.",

"So wait.", she said, straighten up on my lap, "You're saying...if he did, I would be just like you--a werewolf?",

I nodded my head, "Yes. But since your not,", I felt my throat tighten up, a little nervous to tell her actually. I'm not sure how she'll react to it. "Your mine.",

Her mouth opened a little as she stared at me. I bit down on my lower lip, waiting for her reaction. She was pretty much making me anxious as a few seconds passed, making those seconds feel like minutes.

Finally, she spoke, "B-b-but, how?", she asked. "No, no, no.", she said, getting up from my lap before I could stop her.

I grabbed her hand though, "Makenna, wait. I know, this is a lot to take in. It's the work out my people spirit and they choose you for me. We're so much alike--but in different ways but also in the same way.",

She tried pulling her hand out of mine, "But that's the only reason you like me!", she said. "If it wasn't for that, you would have no idea who I am!",

She's kind of right. If it wasn't for those damn sprits, I wouldn't know who she is and if she even alive. She would have been nothing but another girl in the crowd. But she isn't! She's someone I care for. I shook my head, "But that doesn't matter! I do notice you and it's kind of hard not to! Every time your near, I can feel you around me and I want nothing more to hold you and have your skin touching mine.",

She stopped trying to pull her hand away, but I could see she was shaking a little. "You lied to me though, Shawn.",

"I know and I'm sorry. I wanted to tell you the truth every time I saw you, but I couldn't. I wanted us to stay how we are so I'll at least get to be with you. I respected your wished for you, but I can't help but feel that I want more.",

"I don't want to get hurt, though.", she said. "I bin hurt all my life. I got picked on in school, lost my adopted father who I thought was my father all these years, had my mom lie to me my whole life, just found out my real father some werewolf and have bin actually bin there my whole life without me knowing, and the guy I have so much feelings for is here, telling me he wants more. It may not sound hurtful, but it hurts to know you lied. If this 'mating' thing so big, you shouldn't have lied.",

I pulled her body a little down, "I know and I wont lie to you anymore.", I said, putting her back down on my lap. I took a deep breath, "I'll admit, I was scared to have a mate first and I tried my best to ignore you, but you made it so damn difficult. And I had Travis nagging at me all the time about you. Then there Alpha Dylan always bugging me about either being with you or not. God, he's so...weird. Anyways, I tried, but I failed. And then you just had to come to school, dressed like your ready for a photo shoot. You know how hard it's to control a wolf when your still new to it. It's pretty damn hard.",

She arched an eyebrow and gave me a confused look, "What are you ecstatically trying to say, Shawn?",

"I really hate friends with benefits.", I sighed out and chuckled. "I want people around school--I'll also admit mostly other guys--that your mine. I want to show you off and make sure everyone knows I'm the most luckiest guy in school. I want you to sit next to me in school everyday and with me at lunch. I want you to be with me everyday instead of your new friends. I want me to be the only thing in your mind everyday-", I was cut off when she chuckled and put her hand around my mouth.

"Okay, I get it, Shawn.", she said, chuckling. "You want to be with me. But," a sly smirk formed on her lips. She got up and stood in front of me.

"But what?",

"Beg.", she said, putting her hands on her curvy hips and put her weight on one foot.

I forward my eyebrows, "What?",

"You heard me. Since you lied, you have to beg. Just because you want to be with me might not mean I wan to be with you. So, beg. Even, isn't that what good little doggy do?", she giggled.

I heard laugher from behind her and I turned my upper body to the right and saw Travis leaning on the door frame with his arms crossed over his chest, "Yeah, Shawn, beg. But wait, let me get my phone out and video tape it.", he said, reaching behind his pant to his back pocket.

I gave him a fake laugh, "Ha-ha, Travis, your so funny. I'll be doing the same thing to you one day for this.",

He took out his phone and pointed it at us and shrugged, "I don't mind. This will be perfect for to show my future nieces and nephews that there daddy lets mommy make the rules and wears the pants in the relationship.",

I started to get up from the couch to snap the phone out of his heads, but I thought better and not wanting to destroy the house and shift in front of Makenna. She isn't ready to see me like that. So, I took a deep breath to calm myself, "Your annoying, Travis. I would do something, if I wasn't a seconds away from shifting, you asshole.",

He shrugged one side of his shoulder and dropped the phone, "Eh, your no fun.",

I pointed to his bedroom, "Get out of here so I can have a minute alone with Makenna.",

"Who are you to give me orders, little brother?", Travis asked. "But, whatever.", he said, going back into the kitchen and came out a minute later with his Chinese food and a soda and went to his room, shutting the door behind him.

I sighed annoyingly and looked up at Makenna, who had her arm crossed over her chest, waiting for me to beg. I arched an eyebrow again, "Your really going to make me do this?",

She grinned, "Oh yeah.",

I sighed again, readying to humiliate myself. I sat on the edge of the couch and grabbed her by the her belt and pulled her closer to me. I gave her a charming smile, "Makenna, please, please, please, please be my girlfriend. I'm begging you cause I don't feel right unless we're together and I want no one else but you. Please, I'll do anything. I beg you and promise no one going to get in the way of how I feel for you since I can't even look at another girl the same anymore now cause of how I look at you. In my eyes, you're a dazzling Goddess with Angelina Jolie lips, lips I just want to feel on my ever second of the day. So again, I beg you.",

She was giggling the whole time, but she nodded her head, "Okay, I think that'll do. I will be your girlfriend, Shawn-", she didn't even get to finish when I pulled her down on my lap again for the third time and put my hand behind her neck and kissed her. She put her hands on my neck and kissed me back.

~

For the past four and half hours of watching movies and kissing, Makenna fell asleep next to me on the couch. We we're laying down, but she had to lay on her side since I took up most of it. Her head was laying on my chest with one of her small hand laying on my chest and one of her legs laying over mine as she softy breathed in and out.

Even though we we're laying on a small couch, I felt pretty comfortable right now. That was something I haven't felt in such a long time. Having her sleep next to me felt so comfortable and right. I felt like I could sleep on the couch and not feel uneasy the next day.

I wasn't really paying attention to the movie anymore, but looking down at my sleeping Makenna and twirled some of her black hair around my fingers when Travis stepped out of his room. He noticed Makenna asleep, so he quitely walked over to me and held out his phone to me.

I gave him a confused look, but took it anyways and put it next to my ear. "Hello?", I whispered, but loud enough to the person could hear, but not loud enought to wake Makenna up.

"She still over there?", Alpha Dylan asked.

My confused dropped from my face and I ran my free hand down my face, "Yeah, she's asleep.",

"Oh.", he said. "Well, her mom been calling her and she hasn't bin picking up. She wants me to come pick her up.",

I looked down at my mate, who was still sleeping. I didn't want her to leave though, "She can stay over, I have no problem-",

"I don't think that's a good idea right now. I'm sure she told you a whole news and her mom wants her home to talk to in the morning to talk some more. Even, tomorrow I'm going to be spending the day with her-",

"Whoa, do you think that's a good idea? Makenna is very touchy and I don't think that she would want to spend the day with you-"

"Don't tell me how my daughter is!", he whispered, but hissed it so he wouldn't wake Makenna up by his yelling threw the phone. "I know how she is. I known since she was twelve years old. I don't need a pup telling me how he is. I may not be your Alpha right now, but your in my state and you will respect my dissension.",

I was about to come back about how he was still never there for her and he wasn't the one that took care of her when she was sick or went to school stuff but another guy did, but I kept my mouth closed and I don't want to be beaten up later for it. I sighed, "Okay, okay. Fine. How long will you be?",

"Five minutes. I'm half way there already. I know where to go and apartment number.", he said and I heard the call ended.

I pulled the phone away from my head and clicked the end back. I threw the phone on the table and snorted--hoping Makenna wouldn't wake up--and whispered, but hissed it, "He thinks he can just do anything he wants just because he's her dad. Bastard wasn't there for most of her life.",

"He's Alpha, Shawn. He can do whatever he want and he's probably trying to make up for lost time.", Travis said. "You may not believe in it, but Makenna could believe in second chances. I mean, she's giving you a second chance and you were an ass to her in the beginning.",

I scowled at him, "Thanks for having my back.",

He shrugged, "Sorry, but I'm just saying. Makenna needs her father and maybe Alpha Dylan will be here for her. I mean, he went to the diner a lot and he always wanted her to be his waitress. It probably means a lot if he was doing that.",

"He better not hurt her again or I don't even care that's he's Alpha, I will make it come back to him ten times harder.", I said threw my teeth.

Five minutes like he said, I heard a knock on my door. I slowly peeled myself from Makenna and she brought her knees up to her chest, feeling the coldness like I did since we're not close to each other anymore.

I walked over to the door and opened it, "Shh, she's still sleeping.", I said, but said it in a very boring way and with a little attitude just to get on his nerves.

He rolled his eyes, "Have no respect for your elders, huh?", he asked, slipping in into the room on his side and walked into the living room.

I walked behind him, "Nice way to come out to her. Did you think before or after you slept with her mother?", I whispered.

He turned around and scowled at me, "Look, I didn't plan for that to happen. It just happened and parentally, I have no problem with it. She's my mate and I don't regret what happen tonight. I got my mate back and I have my daughter.",

My eyes widen, "Wait, what? You and her mom--together?",

He shrugged and walked backwards, "I have my family--only thing I wanted for years now.", he said and turned back around. He sat down next to Makenna feet and shook Makenna leg, "Makenna, wake up.", he calmly said to her.

She moaned as she woke up and pushed some of her black hair away, "W-what are you doing here, Dylan?", she asked, but it wasn't cold, but her voice was filled with sleepiness.

"I came to take you home. Your mom was worried and wanted me to pick you up.", he said.

She groaned, "I don't want to go. She lied to me and I just want to be with Shawn right now.",

Alpha Dylan sighed, "I know, but your mom and you need to talk. She's sorry and just want you home. Even, you can't be over a guy house all night.",

She groaned and dropped her head with her eyes closed, "You are not my fath-never mind, I forgot.", she said and sighed. "I don't feel like walking though.", she complained. "To tired.".

She put one arm in the air and Alpha Dylan got up to pick her up, but I put a hand on his chest to stop him. I shook my head and he scowled at me, but moved aside. I wrapped the arm the was up around my neck and lifted her up from the coach and held her in bridle possession.

She snuggled her forehead into my neck and I could tell she fell back to sleep moments later as we walked out of the apartment.

"Did you tell her?", Alpha Dylan asked as he walked next to me, but looked straight ahead.

I nodded my head, "Yes. We're together now.",

"Well," he said, clearing his throat. "You don't have my permission.",

I stopped dead in my tracks and stared at him. I almost forgot. If I want to mark Makenna as mine in the future, I need to have the father approve of our relationship. "What?", I asked, forwarding my eyebrows together. "What the Hell, Alpha Dylan? Come on!",

He turned to look at me, "I'm not doing this because you took so long. I'll give you my permission if," he said, stopping.

"If what?",

He looked me dead in the eyes, "If, you join my pack. I need every one of the wolves in Indiana to join together.",

"Why?", I asked, raising my eyebrow. "There's something big happening, isn't there?", I asked. There has to be a reason why he wants to make his pack bigger.

He raised his chin a little, "That's for me to worry, Shawn. I got it all handle. But just say you'll join and you'll have my permission. Even, don't you want to be in the pack your mate father runs? You and Travis will be respected and popular-",

I shook my head, "I don't care for popularity anymore. Even, I'm not going to mark Makenna any time soon, so I don't need your permission right now. Makenna and I want nothing but a normal high school relationship.",

He shook his head in a disappointed way, "Your going to join soon and I'll make sure you do. I have three-fourth of Indiana already join and I can easily have someone talk you into it. I can probably get Makenna to do it.", he said, walking again.
