I'm finally free I graduated from highschool. Not top of my class but I passed.

     It was four years ago when Allen stayed with me and then stole my cheetah. He still has it too. I walk in my front door after going for a run as a wolf, a familiar scent hits my nose. Pine jumps for joy.

     That's Allen and Rupert!!!!! THEY'RE HERE RYDIA!!!

     I force us both to stay calm and walk slowly into the kitchen. We are right he's sitting at the table talking to my father. My father is a wolf too. He's Alpha in the house but I am stronger than most so he allows me to have my own pack and run it alone. I can tell their conversation is serious so I stay as quiet as possible.

     However my father sees me,"Ah Rydia my darling how was your run?"

     "Just fine father."

     Alpha myself or not I do not look my dad in the eyes. He found out about me the day after Allen had snuck into my room so I changed him into a wolf. He took to it quite naturally.

     "Allen here has come to discuss some important business."

     Allen doesn't move,"What is it?"

     "Sit my daughter, sit."

     I sit as instructed in the seat by Allen. Our circular table was a good place to have whatever meeting this was. I look at the other two alpha wolves at the table. The air around Allen isn't tense but hopeful and excited. I resist the urge to smile.

     "As you know daughter we are all alphas here." I nod and he continues.

     "Because you have Allen you do not have a mate in your pack and I allow you to date him. Well it has come to my attention and Allen's that even though you are marked other weres still try to approach you. Allen is angry no doubt but not at you."

     He finally speaks,"They are animals sir. Pardon the pun."

     My father puts up his hand to dismiss him,"Yes yes. Anyway Rydia, you're friends and packmates were married off when they turned 18 you and Allen are both 20. School for both of you ended about a year ago. I believe that you are perfectly capable of running an entire pack on your own but...Allen you take it from here."

     Allen clears his throat and speaks,"I came here for your father's help.I have an important question to ask you.

     Allen takes my hand and helps me out of my chair, kneels down in front of me and pulls something out of his pocket,"Rydia, my beautiful mate, my love, my better half, holder of my heart, will you marry me?"

     I smile, tearing up and nod my head. He takes my hand and slips the ring on my finger. He stands up and holds me close to him.

     "I love you Rydia Kasumi."

     "I love you too Allen..."

     "what's wrong?"

     "what is your last name?"

     My father interupts, "He disowned his family because they never accepted him. His father was a vampire and his mother was a werewolf. He has asked that we just accept him and allow him to use our last name instead of you having his."

     I smile and feel him hug me tighter,"One more thing Rydia, we kinda figured you'd say yes we've been planning the wedding for awhile."

     "Father!!!"

     They both chuckle,"Father does this mean we are combining packs?"

      "That, my beloved daughter, is a yes but do not fear his pack is very small and we have no quarrel with them because there is not hate between your packs."

     I look up to see Allen grinning,"we have a lot to plan before your big day kids. And you can do it together as a team now."

     My father meant something by that I could tell.

     "what do you mean father?"

     "As of today, Allen is living with us."
