Graysons PoV

"No," she spoke causing the heavy feeling in my heart to drag me down further. "I can't go through that shit again."

"W-What?," I asked, wanting her to confirm what I was hearing. To say I was shaky would be an understatement. I have no idea if she could tell but I was fucking terrified.

"I can't come back with you," she told me. "I don't believe you've changed and to be honest, I don't want to risk myself in trying to find out."

Hearing those words come out of her mouth made me feel hopeless and trapped like her coming back with me is impossible. "Alana, I don't give a fuck, you're coming with me," I said firmly without thinking, fear of losing her once again overtook my senses.

She let out a sigh and shook her head. "It's better if we just end this now, for good."

"I swear to god, if those words come out of your fucking mouth-."

"-You'll what?," Alana asked, cutting me off causing me to stop talking and realise what I just said. "Kill me? Kidnap me?"

"Just-," I took a deep breath, attempting to to pull myself from my panicked state. "You're coming back with me." She began to shake her head again only for me to let out a low growl, trying to hint that my wolf was getting close to the surface. My eyes kept flickering from brown to yellow as I fought for control. "I'm asking you much nicer than my wolf will if he comes out. You were away for five fucking years and that fucked him up."

"And who's fault was that?," she snapped, making me inwardly flinch from the harshness of her words. "Don't blame me for your mistakes."

"Alana!," I said sharply, getting angry as my voice rose in anger from feeling frustrated with the fight with my wolf and the fight with my mate. "You're coming with me or I will fucking mark you right now!"

"Hey! That's too-," Ace began to say. I turned around and glared at him.

"Both of you just get the fuck out," Alana told them and without another word, they both left, no doubt listening on the other side of the door.

"You do that and I promise you that you'll have lost me forever," she threatened me. I clenched my fists by my sides as I calmed down realising what I had spat out in the midst of my anger. "I wanna speak to your wolf."

"Are you su-," I began to ask causing her to roll her eyes.

"Drop the act and get your wolf out."

"Anything he does is not on me," I warned her. She nodded her head.

Alana's PoV

"Anything he does is not on me," Grayson warned me causing me to nod my head and wave him off. I waited as he closed his eyes and let his wolf take over.

Grayson seems remorseful like he wants change. I understand where he's coming from because if I had a past like his I'd try and figure out where to start with making a change and maybe he's trying to start with me and our relationship.

Seconds later, yellow eyes were staring back at me instead of his brown ones. Just as he opened his mouth to speak, I shut him down.

"I'm not letting her talk to you so don't even bring it up," I spoke, already denying his request that he was bound to make. He hurt my wolf and now I'm not giving him another chance to do it again. Whether it was Grayson or his wolf, it doesn't make a difference to me.

"But she's okay though?," he asked concerned. I rolled my eyes, pushing down the urge to say something sarcastic back.

"You aren't here to talk about her, Ice." He didn't say a word as he waited for me to continue. "I'm not coming back. And you need to understand that and leave."

"You will come back. You're my mate and we can't stay without each other for much longer."

"We could if I just accept the rejection." He winced in pain like I just struck him at the word 'rejection'. "Why are you acting like that hurt you? You aren't the one that was rejected."

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry for all the pain we've cause you and Dawn and I wish we could undo it because Gray didn't understand what he was doing. He didn't give a shit then but now we're both slowly changing and he's began to realise and appreciate those around him. We both know where you stand in our life and that's before everything including the pack."

"If he really has change, he wouldn't have just threatened to mark me without my consent," I spat out.

"I admit, I got angry and that was from me mostly. He was getting frustrated. He didn't mean it and he wouldn't have done it."

I let out a deep sigh. "This is why I can't come back with you. You got angry for one second and you decided to threaten me. What's gonna happen when you get angry and the anger doesn't fade?"

"If you're implying that we might hurt you physically, we wouldn't."

"Oh so, hurting me mentally is fine?" He let out a sigh and ran a hand through his hair. "You know what Ice, just go home please. Just leave me alone."

"I can't do that because you're gonna leave again and it'll take me years to find you. So just come back with me. See for yourself that we've changed and that we're changing. We're doing the work and now we just need you back. I'm so fucking sorry for threatening you. And I promise it won't happen again. I'll make sure it doesn't happen again."

"I can't, Ice," I told him firmly, making my mind up for what I was about to do next. "I, Alana Reid-."

"-Don't do it," he interrupted me.

"-accept-." Before I could move, Ice was in front of me and slammed his lips against mine, in an attempt to stop me speaking.

He was successful.

My eyes widened as tingles erupted through my body, starting from my lips. I could feel my wolfs happiness radiating from her as she danced around happily in my head.

At least he kissed me and didn't mark me like he threatened to.

His arms wrapped around my waist as he pulled me closer to him. Without even thinking, my lips moved in sync with his as a feeling euphoria took over my senses.

This moment, well not exactly this moment with these circumstances, was something I've always wanted. I've wanted to have this moment with my mate from the moment I found out about mates. This is a moment I've only ever been able to dream about since I was a child. I've only been longing for a moment like this since I met him. I've wanted to be held like this by him.

Running out of air, our lips separated and Ices yellow eyes were no longer there as I was met with Graysons brown ones. "Well at least you didn't mark me to shut me up," I chuckled dryly.

Grayson rolled his eyes. "So will you come back with me?," he asked, his minty breath fanning my face from how close he was. It was only now that I noticed his arms were still wrapped around me as the distance between us wasn't very spacious.

My breath hitched in my throat as my eyes turned glassy, hinting that I was talking to my wolf. "Please. Please. Please," she begged me.

"It was nice but it might've only been a one time thing," I tried to tell her. That kiss pushed her over onto the other side.

"We won't know unless we give him another chance. Please. He's our mate. And if he fucks up one more time, we'll leave."

"I really hate you sometimes," I sighed out. I could hear her chuckling before I closed the link. She's so happy and I don't want to do anything that'll not make her happy because her being happy is a rare thing nowadays.

I glanced back up at Graysons expecting face. "If you fuck up one more time, I will accept the rejection and leave. That's the only condition I have."

"So does that mean you'll come back?"

"Only if you'll agree to the condition." He nodded his head.

"I'm glad you're coming back," he spoke as he leaned down and kissed my forehead before enveloping me in a hug.

I really hope I don't regret this.

-

"We're really sorry," Ace and Xavier spoke in unison. I shrugged my shoulders, still not believing that the two boys I trusted with my life did this behind my back.

"Bye. We'll talk soon," I said before I slammed the car door shut with me inside.

I doubt we'll talk soon.

Grayson and the two boys exchanged some words before shaking hands. I rolled my eyes, he was probably thanking them for snitching on me. Grayson got in the drivers seat as he looked over at me. I never would've imagined this scene in my head.

"Have they gone?," I asked, referring to Noah and the others that came with him. He nodded his head as he started up the engine and sped away and out of the pack grounds.

Sensing the awkwardness within the deafening silence, he spoke, "We can't stay like this the whole drive home. It's seven hours." I shrugged my shoulders.

"I don't care."

"Did I mention how much I missed your voice?," he told me. I looked at him before letting out a chuckle knowing that we barely even spoke before before narrowing my eyes at him.

"Shut up."

-

"Are you seriously gonna stay locked up in here?," Grayson asked as he leaned against the doorway of my new bedroom. For some reason, he didn't put me in the room I stayed in last time when I was here.

"Well, Grayson, what else do you want me to do?," I sighed out, getting annoyed for no reason at all. Maybe my heat is coming.

"Gray," he spoke firmly.

"What?," I said, looking up at him confused from the half empty bags in front of me. I was currently in the middle of unpacking and he is wasting my time.

"Gray. Call me Gray."

"Okay, Gray."

He cleared his throat. "Come downstairs. They're here." Before I could ask who, he turned and left causing me to get up and follow behind him.

We arrived here a couple of hours ago and I was already greeted by most people here. They recognise me as their Luna even though it's not official yet. I'm guessing they know about me being a white wolf aswell.

I slowly made my way downstairs to see Zane, Isla, Olivia and Noah sat laughing and taking amongst each other. "Hey guys," I spoke loudly as Gray planted himself on the couch.

"Oh my god! I missed you!," Isla yelled as she threw herself on me.

"Careful," Zane winced out quietly causing her to turn and glare at him.

"I'm not hurting the pup!," she hissed out. "If you're so damn concerned, you might aswell carry it yourself."

I bit my lip trying to hold in my laughter as Zane sulked off towards Gray, muttering something about how her hormones are much worse than before.

"I missed you too!," I squealed as I wrapped my arms around her, pulling her in for a hug.

"Luna," Noah spoke with a smile before Olivia wrapped her arms around me.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you I was leaving," I apologised suddenly realising she might've been a little pissed off with that fact.

"It's fine," she said, shrugging it off, creating a bad feeling to build up in my belly.

I gave her a tight-lipped smile as I pulled away feeling uncomfortable for no reason.

After we all caught up, Isla decided to go. She wanted to put Toby (her son) to bed. Soon after that, Olivia and Noah decided to go too, much to my relief. For some reason, Olivia was acting weird all night and that bad feeling didn't go until she left.

I let out a sigh as I stood up to pick up all the empty beer bottles and pizza boxes. I glared at a drunk Grayson. "Are you drunk?," I asked him sternly even though I already knew the answer. Damn, he must've drank a lot of alcohol to even get slightly drunk. Thankfully, he wasn't completely drunk.

"Maybe," he shrugged, slurring the word slightly. Forgetting about the mess I need to pick up, I sat next to Grayson and grabbed the tv remote before turning it on and putting a movie on. I grabbed a drink before I got comfortable. "What is this shit?," Grayson asked half way into the movie.

"Twilight," I shrugged.

"Shit film."

"Like your face," I snapped back, getting annoyed with that fact that he would remind me that it's a 'shit film' every two fucking seconds. Now, I really wish he was completely wasted because maybe then, he would've been knocked out by now. "I'm kidding," I said when I noticed the glare he was giving me.

"But it's not a shit film," I lied. "Twilight is an okay film to watch like I wouldn't even say it's amazing minus the fact that they got some of the minor facts about werewolves wrong like imprinting on kids. I'll admit that, that part is a bit too much."

"Fucking disgusting," he mumbled. "Look at that blood sucker. What the fuck is she doing with him? She needs to be with that other guy. The werewolf one. What's his name?"

"Jacob," I answered. "Now shush, the good part's coming."

"There's no good parts," he groaned. "I feel like I'm being tortured." I lightly hit him causing him to be quiet as my favourite part of the show came on. Rosalie, a vampire, had an outburst about Bella and Edwards relationship. To be honest, I hate her, I hate Edward and I hate Bella. I only put this on to annoy him and it worked.

Fifteen minutes later, loud snores made me jump from my spot. I snapped my head towards Gray to see he was fast asleep and the snores were coming from him. I never knew he snores. His legs were sprawled out in front of him as his head leaned back giving a clear view of his Adam's apple. I snapped my gaze from him and changed the movie, putting on a movie that I wanted to watch. The Notebook. I quickly got popcorn and got settled in my seat before playing it.

To me, this a perfect end to a long day and it's a picture perfect scene in my head.
