Kieran pulled away after a few minutes. He looked shocked and gave me an apologetic look.

"Felicity, I am so sorry, I didn't mean to do that" Kieran began as he put his left hand on the back of his head.

"Kieran, it's fine, look I didn't push you away, I could have if I didn't want you to kiss me" I tried to point out hoping he wouldn't blame himself for this too much.

"True but I only asked you a few days ago to be my mate and Luna, I don't want you to feel like I'm putting you under any kind of pressure for an answer or to say yes" Kieran explained

"I don't feel under any pressure" I tried so hard to reason with him

"We should get back to the pack house" Kieran said as he turned and began the way back to the pack house.

We made it back just in time before it began to pour down with rain. The rest of the journey back was quiet, Kieran barely spoke to me. I felt like he was blaming himself for something that wasn't his fault. It was like I had said to him, if I didn't want him to kiss me, I would have asked him to stop or pushed him away.

"If you want to go back down to your room in the infirmary, I'll get someone to let Dr Wilson know we're back" Kieran said avoiding to even make eye contact with me

"Aren't you going to come down and sit with me ?" I asked trying not to let him hear the disappointment in my voice

"I have a few things to sort out up here" Kieran replied again not even looking my way

I didn't say anything else and just made my way back to the infirmary. I couldn't help the stinging sensation I felt going threw me. Kieran blamed himself for our kiss but I knew deep down I secretly liked it. I haven't told Kieran that part yet, honestly I don't think I could. I got back down to the infirmary after a long, slow walk down. I sat on the bed letting out a long sigh I didn't even know I needed to let out.

"That was quite the sigh" a female voice said from the door way, startling me from my deep thoughts.

I snapped my head from looking at the floor to over by the doorway. There stood a teenage girl about 16 or 17, she had a slim build, about 5 foot 1, long ash blonde hair and dark brown eyes. Her eyes were identical to Kieran's was she related to him ? I began to wonder.

"I'm Sophie, Kieran's little sister" She said introducing herself as she walked into the room.

"Oh right, I'm Felicity" I said introducing myself, I wasn't sure what else I could say about who I was.

"Yes, I already know, Kieran has told everyone here about you" Sophie answered as she sat down on my bed

"You mean about back at my old pack ?" I asked unsure

Sophie nodded in response. I stayed quiet not sure what to say or how to respond. If all this pack knew and my pack knew then surely others will have heard about it too.

"I also know about what Kieran has offered you, about joining and becoming his mate" Sophie said out of the blue.

"He told you ?" I asked shocked

"No not exactly, he was in his office with a few of his friends, also pack members when I was walking by and just happened to have a little listen in" Sophie said with a mischievous smile on her face

"Oh" was all that came to mind for me to say

"Look both you and Kieran have been hurt badly by your true mates. Please if you don't want to accept his offer, don't drag it out on him but if you do accept his offer, please look after him, you both could be very happy, Kieran will be very protective of you though" Sophie added

I already knew he could be protective, I've felt safe and protected here in my short time already.

I nodded in response to here. I've been awake for a little time and already a few pack members have given me things to consider and think about.

"Sophie, I hope you are not upsetting my patient" Dr Wilson's voice said as he now entered the room.

"No, I was just introducing myself to Felicity and getting to know her" Sophie smiles as she got up to leave.

I sat on the bed but kept moving into different sitting positions. It felt like I had been here forever but really it had only been a few hours. I was giving up any hope I had of Kieran coming down. I was about to get up and change for bed when Kieran appeared by the doorway.

"Oh I thought you were asleep" Kieran said as he finally made eye contact with me for the first time.

"Sorry to keep disappointing you" I said in a harsh tone which I didn't mean

"You don't keep disappointing me" Kieran said, now blocking my way

"Then why has it taken you this long to come down here, look at me and even speak to me ?" I asked now in a demanding tone

"Look, I was mad at myself for what happened out there" Kieran began

"I already said, if I didn't want you to kiss me then I would have asked you to stop or I would have pushed you away" I pointed out again

"Look at it from my point, I only just dropped that offer on you then the first time we are alone I kiss you" Kieran began

"Kieran, I like being here, I feel safe, not just in this room but here with the pack and you, especially with you, after my nightmare when you stayed with me and cuddled me, I felt safe and protected. I've never had someone show me so much affection as what you have" I began to explain to him.

Kieran moved out of my way slightly so he wasn't blocking my way. I moved and sat back down on the bed and patted the empty space for Kieran to sit next to me.

"I get what your saying Felicity, I do really, but see it from my point, after I make you an offer like that, I'm kissing you, I guess in a way, I just felt lonely and having you here, that has given me something to focus on, when I was with you, I didn't feel so lonely" Kieran explained.

"Do you want to forget that the kiss happened ?" I asked Kieran, scared of his answer

"I don't know, I'm not sure, do you want to forget it ?" He replied then asking me my own question back

"No, and to be honest with you, I don't think I can, I've been thinking about it non stop since we got back, even after I met your younger sister, Sophie" I explained

"Sophie was down here ?" Kieran asked shocked

"Yeah she wanted to meet me and introduce herself" I replied

"Look Felicity, it's getting late, you still need rest" Kieran began

"Will you stay with me please ?" I asked hopeful that he would

"Are you sure it's what you want ?" Kieran asked

I told Kieran it was what I wanted and he agreed to stay with me. I was grateful he agreed and got changed for bed. Once I was changed into some comfy pyjamas, I climbed into bed and got comfortable before Kieran climbed in next to me. I immediately cuddled right into him. I don't know why but it just felt so natural to do that. Kieran played with my hair and rubbed my head in a soothing way to help me get off into a peaceful sleep.

"I do have some good news, Dr Wilson said you can leave here tomorrow, he will keep an eye on you and check on you but you can move upstairs" Kieran told me.

"Would you mind if I stayed with you ?" I asked with my eyes closed, I was so close to falling asleep.

"Of course you can" Kieran answered.

I felt happy and eventually drifted off into a peaceful sleep.

The next morning when I woke up, Kieran was still laying next to me, asleep. I took this as my chance to admire some of his features. His messy short brown hair, his facial features and structures, he was lightly snoring. I smiled to myself.

"It's rude to stare you know" Kieran said, his eyes still closed.

"I wasn't staring, I was admiring" I replied trying to defend my previous actions

A smile appeared on Kieran's lips before he opened his eyes. Once his eyes were open, his found mine.

"As much as I enjoy waking up like this, I can't wait to wake up in my own bed where its much more comfortable with more room" Kieran said

"Sorry, I shouldn't have asked you to stay with me" I began but Kieran stopped me

"It's okay, I don't mind but remember, today you can move upstairs, yes you can still stay with me if that is what you want" Kieran told me

"Thank you, I just hope I'm not asking too much or putting you out" I said

Kieran assured me that it wasn't a problem for him to share with me. He helped me upstairs and showed me to his room. I was glad when we reached the top floor, I lost count how many flights of stairs we climbed up.

The day flew in very quickly. I tried looking for Rebecca or Sophie but Rebecca was at college and Sophie was at school. I decided to explore the house a little more. I stopped when I entered a door and walked into a very large room. The room suddenly became my new favourite place in this whole house or mansion. The room was a library and packed with all different kinds of books. I loved reading. I looked around a few shelves before I found a book. I took it off the shelf then went over to the white sofa in the middle of the room. It was a soft cotton like material on the sofa. There was also a thick grey blanket on the sofa, as well as some soft cushions. I got myself cosy then began to read.

I had been in this room for hours, unable to put my book down. I had forgotten I hadn't told Kieran where I was but he had to speak with some of his pack members and sort out a few things. I was dragged away from my book when I heard loud voices from outside the door and people running about. I got up from the sofa and made my to the door. I saw a few pack members stop and look at me, giving me looks of relief.

"There you are, Alpha Kieran has been looking at you, you've been gone for several hours" A male pack member, Alex, I think he was Kieran's beta said.

"Sorry, where is Kieran ?" I asked

"He's on his way here now" another male pack member said.

Once Kieran arrived, the others left.

"There you are, you gave me such a fright, I thought you'd left, gotten lost or worse" Kieran said as he reached me, pulling me into his chest and wrapping his arms around me.

"I'm so sorry, I was exploring the house and then I found your library, I seen a book I really wanted to read and I just got engrossed in the book and lost track of time. I love books and reading" I explained

"It's okay, at least I know your safe and your still here" Kieran said in a more relaxed voice.

I put the book back then joined Kieran back upstairs. It was about 19:00 now and everyone had already pretty much had their dinner earlier. Kieran and I sat in the kitchen. Kieran sat at the top of the table, I sat next to him after he insisted I was close to him.

We were now back up in Kieran's room, I had just changed for bed. I couldn't wait to test his bed out to see if it really was as comfortable as it looks. Just as I was about to walk over to the bed, I bumped into Kieran. We both laughed it off.

"I'm so sorry" I said trying not to laugh too much.

"I'm sorry too" Kieran said

Kieran held me in his arms, close to him. We both looked into each other's eyes. I swear I could just stare into his eyes forever and get lost in them. We both leaned into each other again. Our lips connected again. This time it was more full on. Full of something but I'm not sure what.

"Felicity" Kieran breathed out

"I'll do it" I answered him

"Sorry ?" Kieran asked confused

"I'll do it, I'll be your mate" I said letting the words fall from my mouth
