Isabella's P.O.V

*Four days later*

A couple days have passed since we came back to the house. It was strangely nostalgic and strange. Our mates really had made the effort to change. They have been at the house from morning to night, being with us and making sure we forgive them. Alex is the one who made the most progress. He is not a lot more gentle and considerate. That is a definitely a good change. Though a warrior came and I was reminded hat these men are dangerous people. I am pretty sure this hardened warrior peed his pants just by looking at Carson. He yelled at him and snapped the warrior's neck. I have observed similar scenes with all the other Alphas. I mean I have been sneaking out ad watching their meetings. In my defense, I need to be sure we can trust them before telling them our secret

Anyway today was the day we had our second dates. Out of consideration for their behavior, I've allowed the Alphas to take my pack anywhere they want without my supervision with the knowledge that if something happened I would kill them. Carson was keeping our date a surprised. The only hit was to dress athletically. I wondered what it will be.

DING! DONG!

This means Carson is here. I was so excited and I rush to the door. I calm myself and open it. Carson looks at me and smirks,

"Follow me!" He heads into the forest and I follow. It was just him and me. Elina and Alex are taking a hike; Sam and Aiden are cooking; Emma and Christopher are watching movies in the basement; Emilia and Jason are swimming; Miya and Daniel are walking in the forest. I walked with Carson for only five minutes before we reached a decked-out clearing. It was clearly meant for training and fighting exercices, something I loved to do. I grinned at Carson and he said,

"So I made the right choice for our date." I answer,

"Yes."

"Warm up and do some practices after, okay?" I do not answer and he turns away from me to prepare. Instead, I lunge at him, pinning him to the ground. He complains,

"That's cheating!"

"No it's not."

"Yes, it is."

"It's not because we have no rules yet."

"Oh yeah, so I can do this." He flips me so that he is pinning me to the ground. In this position, he smirks and says,

"I like this position better." Being the mature person that I am, I stick my tongue out at him. I squirm under his grip, getting out easily.

"Well, if you want it, you have to earn it." That dirty comment makes his eyes turn black with lust. Opps! I might have gotten more than what I have bargained for. We fight a little before Carson pins me down again. Okay, I admit it maybe I didn't fight him as hard as I could have. When he had me where he wanted, he stated,

"See I earned it." I smile innocently,

"Really?"

"Yes. I am taking my prize." He leans in and kisses me. I immediately kiss him bak and deepen the kiss. Eventually, I break it off and sigh contently. What a perfect afternoon for such a perfect date?

Elina's P.O.V

Alex and I are out on a hike and we are lost. It is really funny because right now my mate is being stubborn and pig-headed, refusing to admit it. I decide to tease him a bit,

"Do you know where we are?" He answers,

"Of course."

"So where are we?"

"In a forest."

"I know that, but where in the forest?" He does not answer and I know he is mad at me. I need to change the subject and the first thing that crosses my mind is Izzy, not the best subject

"What do you think about Izzy?"

"I hate her, but I know that if I cannot protect you-" His eyes flash dangerously at the fact he might not be able to protect me. "Izzy would do it until her last breath. For that, I will be eternally grateful. Hell, I know that as long as Izzy is still living, you won't die." That is an unexpected answer for me. It is really sweet and say as much,

"That is so sweet."

"Well, it's honest. Izzy fights like the devil himself." I laugh at his statement and kiss him. He is surprised at first because I have not let him kiss me ever since his forced marking, but he deepens the kiss. I wrap my legs around him and he pushes me against a tree. It started to get heated until I broke it off. Alex gets the message and lets me down. I kiss him again but softly this time. It was going to be a good afternoon.

Sam's P.O.V

I always loved cooking because my grandmother taught it to me. I wanted to show that to Aiden, but right now he is pissing me off. I know that sometimes he is a conceited jerk, but mansplaining cooking to me, seriously! He was saying,

"That's not how you do it. You have to do it this way." I have to get him back for it. I take a handful of flour and sneak up behind before speaking,

"Hey," Aiden turns around and I throw the flour in his face. At first, his eyes go black with rage, but go back to their normal color quickly. He complains,

"That's not nice." Aiden takes the entire bag of flour and walks over to me. I couldn't escape because he was blocking the only escape route! He poured the entire bag over my head. 

"That's a waste of perfectly good flour," I tell him. 

"Should have thought of that before throwing flour at me." As Aiden is talking, I search with my hands behind my back for something to throw at him. I feel something sticky.

"Well..." I picked up the sticky thing and put it on his face. It was lasagna. I start laughing uncontrollably at his expression. Suddenly however, he smiles,

"Since we are both already dirty." He leans in and kisses me. I kiss him back, not caring that he was putting lasagna on my face. It was a fun 'cooking' session.

Emma's P.O.V

I was snuggling up with Christopher while watching Bridget Jones's Baby. It was really funny and I was not really watching it anyway. I was staring at my mate. I am so lucky to have him. He terrifies me sometimes, but he is my soulmate, my other half. After a while, he notices me staring at him and says,

"Like what you see?" I blush a bright crimson color and answer,

"N-no, I mean yes but-" He smirks at me.

"Nervous much." I groan in frustration. Why can't I speak in front of him? I glare at Christopher. He complains,

"C'mon, don't be mad!" I continue to glare at him. "I'll make it up to you." He leans over and kisses me. I was in pure bliss.

Emilia's P.O.V.

I decided to bring Jason swimming. I loved to do it, and Carson told me that he and Izzy were going to use the training area. I led Jason to a waterfall. It was beautiful. Jason was in front of me, admiring it when I got an idea. I snuck up behind him and pushed. He fell into the water and I laughed, waiting for him to come back up. But he didn't. I waited and waited until I heard someone behind me. I turned around and saw it was Jason. Fake pouting, he said,

"Why did you push me, Emilia?" I giggle,

"It was too tempting."

"Well, in that case, this is too tempting too." He came close to me suddenly and kissed me. I kissed him back immediately. Then, Jason whispered in my ear,

"Surprise," as he pushed me into the water. I was pissed and wanted revenge even though that was pretty smart. I held my breath and swam into a hidden cove. Outside, I could hear Jason,

"Emilia! Stop scaring me! Where are you?" I felt a little guilty, so I went underwater and swam out. Under water, I saw his legs and pulled him under. When he both resurfaced, he scolds me,

"I was really worried. Don't do that again." I smile innocently at him,

"Sorry, Jason! In return though-" I smirk at him. "you get a prize." I lean to kiss him this time and Jason responds. This was a great official second date.

Miya's P.O.V.

Daniel and I were going through the forest and I was telling him about it. Coming from the Forest Growler pack and being the pack doctor, I loved nature. I am pretty sure however that Daniel was not listening to a word that I was saying. I didn't mind it though. Even so I decided to tease him for it. I said,

"Are you even listening?" Daniel blinks several times before regaining his composure. I had caught him staring at me. He answered,

"Of course, Miya!"

"What did I say?"

"That the flowers are pretty?" I glare at him a little,

"Not at all, Daniel!" He defends himself,

"It's not my fault that I get distracted by beautiful women!" I get a little mad at the implication of his statement. He was my mate!

"So, all beautiful women distract you!" He stutters,

"T-that's n-not what I-I meant!"

"But it's what you said!"

"Baby, c'mon, you know that I only love you!" My breath hitches, he said he loved me! I do not know what to answer, so I turn away. Daniel comes behind me and turns me around. I was about to say something when he kissed me. All protestations that I had vanished into the wind. He was a great kisser. Eventually, we break it off and he said,

"Do you forgive me?" I respond,

"I was never mad at you." At that answer, Daniel kisses me again.

Isabella's P.O.V.

I smiled when all of my pack mind-linked me unintentionally about their kiss. They were so happy, they were sending out their happiness through the link. I didn't though because I have more control. It was a good second date for everyone.
