"Tristan dear, could you grab the flour for us?"

"Sure thing." I reach over to the cupboard and grab yet another bag of flour and Hand it to Mary, who is making cookies with some of the cooks here at the pack house. And I am in here too; honestly, I don't know how I even got in here, I think I was getting food while Hunter was at training and Mary needed some help before people got here to help her out.

Of course I did help and then people started coming and Mary made it really easy for me to introduce myself to them, most older lady's, in their younger years, and a lot are moms. Some guys and a few teenagers, who I've talked to a tad bit.

Some are older some are younger, but somehow I got an apron wrapped around me and I was given food to mix, so I just went with it. It definitely has kept my mind off of everything for the past few hours. I haven't seen Sarah much this week wither, but apparently she has been in a load of training too.

Things have gotten better with all the medication and help people have been living me, I've finally started taking to people who aren't hunter a little over a week ago and people have been really me to me about everything.

Everyone knows about me and my past now too.

And I have been having those weird muscle things, where I can't move or breathe, at least once a day. Which people say is good because I am closer to shifting, but it doesn't feel good to me at all. It almost always happens at night and I just have to focus on Hunter, but it's a little hard when you're in a constant pain and fear because of it.

But I can really only focus on Hunter to help me because He's is one of the only things that calms me. But with that being said a few of those werewolf senses have kinda appear in me too, which has kinda scared all of us.

I have this smell thing with Hunter, where I can smell him from at least a half a mile away, and my eyes switched colors for a few seconds when me and Hunter were making out again in one of the back halls. I left some major canine prints on hunter too somehow, we don't quite know how that happened yet, but we are keeping that one to ourselves.

Things have been pretty okay with what we just went through, what I just went through. I think this is the fastest I've recovered from something that big. I mean, things get pretty rough with the nightmares and small breakdowns everyday but we work through them and Everything gets better.

The medication that doctor gave me has defiantly helped calm all my flashbacks and nightmares down too, which has honestly helped Hunter more too, he doesn't worry about it too much anymore and it is easier for him to help me too if everything isn't as bad.

I smile over to Mary who asks another person a question, who asks me a question.

"Um, sorry, What was the question?" I ask turning around.

"I asked how things are with you and Hunter. No one has really seen much of either of you ever sense you've joined the pack."

"Oh yeah. Things are really good." I say smiling at the woman. She nods and Mary starts talking to me about this weeks schedule, because sometimes Hunter gets into the bedroom and just passes out. He's been pushing it really lately, with training and guard shifts, and hour long meetings and taking care of me; even though I am fully healed and fine and don't need to be cared for that much.

The only place I have bandages on me are my wrists, where I had silver one me. It's the one place that wont heal right, the burns are gone but my skin is darker around my wrists and the doctor says it's because silver is fatal it takes a really long time for those burns to go away. I mean, it doesn't hurt anymore, it just bugs me that they are there.

"Hunter is going to have a meeting everyday this week, and he might be gone this weekend too, if Dean has to leave to meet with other Alphas. And of course he has training this week but He's trying to get out of it. You also have your first appointment with Doctor Martin on Tuesday, if you are still up for it." Mary says to me, giving me another bowl.

I sigh and think of every possibility for that appointment. I'm starting therapy because everyone thinks I should, so I said I would give it a shot and I have an appointment every Tuesday.

I can bring someone with me if I want to but I think I need to do this alone. It's just another step for me healing myself and I need that, I can't always relay on people to catch me every time I screw up.

"Yeah, I'm still going to go. Um, if Hunter is at training, could you take me on Tuesday? and stay?" I ask looking over at Mary, who is literally glowing With pride and love.

"Of course I will take you!" She hugs me tightly and I hug her back and she starts crying into my shirt.

"Oh Mary don't cry! Please don't cry."

"I'm sorry. I just...I am so proud of you for taking this s-step and I can't believe you trust me that much to take you and I...I've just seen so much growth with you ever sense you've come here!" She says still gripping my shirt tightly. She lets go and looks above me as Everyone looks down at their work again. I turn around and see Dean and Hunter walking into the kitchen, shirtless and all sweaty, yet Hunter has athletic sleeves on his arms covering his scars. Dean grabs a water bottle and walks over to Mary while Hunter hugs me from behind.

"Hunter, your all sweaty." I say as he kisses my cheek. Yeah, everyone now knows me and Hunter are mates, and everyone has been great with Hunter being bi-sexual.

He was just super scared people were going to hate him because of it and that they wouldn't want him as an alpha, but it turns out there are quite a few people here who are homosexual too. So at least we aren't the only ones in the pack that we know of now. Mary accidentally said something and next thing we know people are just all over us.

"And?" he asks as he rests his chin on me.

"And I don't need to smell like a wet dog." I say back at him.

"I am a wet dog." He says resting his head on my shoulder again. I continue to roll out cookie dough as he watches me for a few second before kissing my cheek again and again until I turn my head to look at him.

"What?" I laugh out after he kisses me on the lips this time.

"I'm going for a run later, Grey wants you to come. You don't have to." I smile and nod as he sighs with content. I really like going on walks with Hunter and Grey in the woods. We've been out only twice but I refuse to ride on Hunter again, it just isn't my thing .

Out of no where Hunter turns his head to his dad. "Mom, Dad, go get a room! No one wants to see that!" I turn my head and Mary is already tossed over Deans shoulder as he walks to the door and waves bye to everyone as Mary laughs and The people in here just smile and go about their business.

"They aren't...you know." I ask staring at the door.

"Ohhhhh they are." Hunter says in the exact same tone as me. I turn my head and look at Hunter, who shakes his head and tries to get the image out of his head of his parents doing it. I mean, Go Mary and Dean!

"My turn." Hunter says dragging me by the arm out of the Kitchen and into a hallway. Pressing me up the wall as soon as we are out of eye sight from people Hunter kisses me on the lips, biting my bottom lip while his hands rest on my hips and mine are in his hair and on his neck.

Pulling away after a minute make out I look up at him with my eyebrows raised. "What was that for?" I ask with a small smile. "Not like I minded but still..."

"Just missed you."

"Hunter, you woke me up today but kissing me, then before you left, and before you went to training. And before we went to bed last night, do I need to continue?"

"Yeah, but now we actually have things to do, and I miss you." He whines out, looking down at my neck, which has a few left over hickeys from a few other nights. I told him he has to control himself and he's been okay with that, I mean, now I can't take my shirt off because he's just moved to my chest to place his hickeys on me, but at least I can hide those ones.

"Your fine." I say as I play with hair in the back of his head.

"I am not. I don't think you quite under stand Trist."

"Oh really?" I ask playfully, which was a mistake in a way, because hunters hands moved to my neck and up my shirt slightly. His right hand moves up my neck lightly, barley gripping me like he's afraid to hurt me; and I understand why, but his other hand lightly caresses my lower stomach/ abs and v-line, making me suck in my breath as his hands feel like feathers on me. as he pushes me up against the wall he nods into my neck and bites my skin making me gasp and squirm under him.

"H-H-Hunter...." I almost moan out at him as he assaults my neck again. His hand hooks onto the waistband of my jeans and the other still holds my neck in place. "Hunter."

He comes up and looks at me getting close to my face before talking. "Like I said, I don't think you understand." He says right before kissing me again.

"Okay....Your rig-.....right, I don't understand." I say in between kisses making Hunter smile. Yeah, some could say we've gotten pretty bold in the affection department....like....really bold. I don't know what's come over us.

"Didn't you want to go out?" I ask.

"Yeah, but I think I'm good right here."

"Well I think me getting out of the house with you and Grey would be good."

"You just want Grey around." Hunter says jokingly at me. I hit his chest and he lets out a chuckle, "I'm kidding Trist. Go change."

I look down and close my mouth. "Can you come with?" I ask almost in a whisper. Hunter kisses my head and takes me up the back stairs to his room. He lays on the bed as I go to the closet to change into a hoodie that Mary bought me, she took my measurements and went shopping for me because her and Dean didn't want me In town.

I hear the door open and I run to look at who came in, I see hunter get up from the bed and I poke my head out to see another guy, about our age standing there talking to Hunter. I watch them as they talk and I examen the guy in front of hunter.

He's as tall as hunter and has white dyed hair, a sharp jaw line and from what I can tell, his fit, like Hunter. A frown covers my face and I back into the closet, not making a sound. I watch as hunters face goes red and he looks at he closet then back to the guy. The guy punches his arm playfully making hunter go dark pink and bite his lip. I'm hoping he doesn't see me right now.

And then Hunter come sin to get me, smiling at me as he grabs my hand.

"W-Who is that?" I ask in a whisper.

"That was Dusty. He's a friends that got back from Wisconsin today."

"Oh."

"Don't worry. He just came up to say hi, he wanted to meet you too."

"O-oh." Hunter takes my hand pushes me out of the closet and into the bedroom. I'm face to face with Dusty now and Hunter steps to my side and wraps an arm around my waist pulling me closer to him.

"Okay, Dusty, Tristan."

"Hey. I'm Dustin."

"T-Tristan?" This is weird. For me at least. I don't usually meet my boyfriends friends...oh wait...thats never happened.

"So your stuck with this son of a gun huh?" Dustin says with a smile on his face. I smile and look up at Hunter and shrug.

"It's not too bad." I say as Hunter rolls his eyes at us and Dustin laughs.

"Well I'm glad. I finally get to meet the kid Hunter's been talking about."

"Kid? I am like, five months younger than you!" I say looking at Hunter.

"Still makes you one. And you act like it sometimes babe." I roll me eyes as The two laugh and a blush grows on my face.

"Your two are cute. I'm glad you finally got your shit together Hunt."

"Yeah, we know." Me and Hunter say at the exact same time. We look at each other and laugh as Dustin looks at us funny.

"Okay then. well I really just came up to say hi and meet you Tristan. I actually have a mate to get back to. "

"Tell Rickie I say hi, I think he just flew back in today too."

"Yeah. Well It was nice meeting you Tristan. I'll see you later man. And Hey, we should all hang out sometime." Me and HUnter nod as He walks to the door and leaves us in the room that we are suppose to leave too.

"So kid huh?"

"Yep."

"We need to fix that." I say looking at him. He rolls his eyes and drags me to the door as I laugh at his actions. "Okay okay." I say giving up and running with him down the stairs. I can tell him and grey are a bit eager to get out and shift.

As soon as we are out the door and a few minutes into the woods Hunter runs a few feet away and shifts in a quick minute, then comes back to fetch me. I smile as Him or Grey come up to me and rubs their body on me like a cat will do when they want something.

His wolf is naturally bigger seeing as he is an Alpha wolf, and he's at almost above my waist level on all fours. The anatomy gets a bit weird but moral of the story is he is long and is my height.

He's big.

I run a hand through his black fur and smile as he licks my face. We start walking deeper into the woods in silence. I keep my hands in my pockets as Hunter walks next to me, just trotting along. I smile at him as he stays so close to me that his fur touches my me.

He gets really protective and I love that he is that way. We see a few other wolves from the pack in the woods, either just having fun, training, or wolves on watch. Me and Hunter go far enough into the woods that we reach his tent that he has.

He licks my hand and I pet him on the head as he purrs and runs a head of me to the tent and sits down as I run to catch up to him. I pet him again and sit outside of the tent, seeing as he isn't aloud inside when he's a wolf. I look as his eyes as he lays down next to me and lays his head on my lap. Dark grey.

"Hey Grey." I say as I pet his head. He rolls over so his stomach is side up and I can scratch under his chin. I smile as he sits there and purrs away as I pet him and talk. It's nothing much but I love this; Just watching the sunset and having Hunter be a goofy wolf, well Grey right now, and he isn't as goofy as Hunter, but still.

Grey runs around and chases rabbits or squirrels as I sit in the sun. He slides around of the dirt and jumps over logs as he chases his latest prey, the small bunny.

I laugh as he runs head first into a log and stumbles back. I guess he was that focused on the bunny. He never hurts them around me, because last time he did that I cried. I know, surprising, no..

He walks over to me and stands above me as I giggle at him and move hair out of my face. He pushes me down on the ground back first and I try to stop my giggles as he stands over me and narrows his eyes at me.

"S-sorry." I say still laughing at the images of Grey running into a log. He moves his head down and licks my neck, which now has a bite mark and a few hickeys from Hunter. Again. I sit up and pet him as He sits down, still towering over me. I smile up at him and he rolls his eyes at me.

"We should get going soon." I says as the sun starts to set faster, we aren't suppose to be out past dark and I don't feel safe anyways when it's dark. He pouts and licks my face before laying his head on my shoulder. "You know you can stay with me tonight if you want, I-I think I'll be okay with it. And Hunter should be fine, right?" Grey's tail wags on the dirt floor of the forest as I rub behind his ears. I guess grey is staying tonight, and let's just hope I don't have a nightmare again. I just don't know how Grey will react.

I stand up and brush the dirt off my butt as I start to walk and Grey walks by my side, his paws step heavily on the ground and he's looking around the woods as we walk. "Something wrong?" I ask, looking around getting worried that someone is here with us.

Grey shakes his body and pushes me forward with his head, making me walk faster. I get worried and pick my pace up a bit, the sun is still out and Grey is here with me, nothing can happen.

Nothing can happen.

Nothing can happen. Or at least that's what I tell myself.

Soon enough we get back to the house and I hurry inside with Grey, shutting the door behind me quickly and I let out a sigh of relief. Grey licks my hand and Nudges me to the stairs by head butting me in the butt. I walk up the stairs and grey runs up on the carpet, getting to the top before me, sitting impatiently.

i roll my eyes and he walks to the door and looks at it, then me, then at the door again. Opening it and letting Grey in first, I follow of course and close the door for the night. I walk to the bathroom and take off my hoodie as Grey shifts and gets clothes.

His heavy footstep echo behind me and stop when he is right behind me. I look at him through the mirror as I lean over the sink and we lock eyes for what seems like forever. Not saying anything as he gets closer and closer to me. He Hugs me from behind and rests his head next to my ear on my shoulder. I lean back into him and watch him in the mirror still.

"I missed you."

"I missed you too Grey." I say rubbing his arm. he kisses my neck lightly and picks me up from behind. "GREY!" i yell as he tosses my small body over him and brings us out of the bathroom and into the bedroom again, to the bed and he tosses me back onto the fluffy sheets making me laugh as I land softly onto the bed.

He smiles and I see his dark Grey eyes lighten a bit as he towers over me. He lays down and gently pulls me over on top of him. "you know I should go to bed. right?" I ask Him as I flip myself to look at him.

"Yeah, I figured. Get some sleep Tristan."

"Thanks." I say as he moves us over under the sheets and so he is spooning me, cuddling into my neck. "Night Grey."

"Good night Tristan."
