"Alright, let's get you to the bath because you smell." He jokingly states when it gets too quiet. This making me grimace, but smile simultaneously.

But then as he starts to get up he tickles beneath my chin, and I know that he meant it as a cute gesture.

But that's what Jack always did.

I know I know, I shouldn't be thinking about that bastard. But I still haven't told Greyson about what happened that night. Why I ran into the woods.

It pains me to even think about it, to dwell on that part of my life once again. The sad and depressing part.

Only if I could stay living in the moment. But, he has the right to know.

"Wait Grey," faintly I call out grabbing his hand as he was already on his way to draw the bath. Opening my wide doe eyes, I look up to him.

Furrowing his eyebrows he sits back down next to me. I sigh, running my hands over his that I still have clasped. "Look, I never told you why I was in the woods that night."

"I thought you were camping?"

I sit up abruptly even if my head is screaming at me to lay back down. "I was, but there's more to it. Things I should've told you sooner, but I was too scared to say."

"You don't have to if you're not ready," he tells me smiling.

But I have to tell him this. This is the one thing I haven't told him, after everything.

Shaking my head slightly, I frown making his smile turn down into one as well. "The night that I stumbled onto the pack's territory I was camping. It was a trip my best friend Addie-," I cringe slightly at her name. "-had planned. So us and a couple other girls and boys including m-my boyfriend Jack." I choke out. Just saying his name out loud triggers memories. Some good, but all ruined because of that one night.

I take my attention to my lap, fearing tears will come out. Though suddenly Greyson growls lowly. I feel as if it echoes and rattles my bones by how threatening it sounds. But it doesn't frighten me, just makes me question. Why is he growing?

He grabs my shoulders pulling me towards him, wrapping me into a possessive embrace. "Mine," he grounds out.

"Ex-boyfriend," I quickly correct myself. This earns me a smile against my temple, which he now pecks a kiss onto. "The first night we got there-," I continue. "Everyone was drunk besides myself. I've never been much of a drinker, and getting drunk in the woods doesn't sound very appealing to me," I laugh dryly. "But it was chilly and I needed to get a jacket from the tent, so Jack offered to walk with me." Greyson growls at the mention of Jack's name, but he keeps it quiet enough to not interrupt my story.

"When we got into the tent, Jack had different things in mind than getting a jacket. He wanted to have se-sex." I burrow my head deeper into Greyson's chest, finally feeling tears form in my eyes. "I told him to stop because I didn't want him to see my scars, I didn't want pity from him. But that ended up with him yelling in my face and storming out of the tent. So then I just sat in the tent, questioning our relationship. Questioning everything." A tear strolls from my eye, but is quickly absorbed from Greyson's shirt that I'm currently pressed against.

"After many minutes of hiding, I decide to leave the tent to confront Jack. But as I reached the others I found Jack, a-and Addie my so called best friend making out. He even called her babe," I laugh though there is not humor in my voice. "So I feel as if this has been going on for a while. So I ran. I ran as far away from them because I'm a coward, because I couldn't face the two people that meant so much to me, stab me right in the back. And soon enough I was found by your warrior wolves, and taken here. You know the rest of the story," I bitterly say the last part. Though I'm not even mad about it anymore. What happened that night is in the past. But it brought me to Greyson. To Faye, Sebastian, Koda. All of these amazing people.

"This might come off as rude, but I'm glad that dick cheated on you," I stiffen slightly. "But that's only because if he didn't, you never would've ran, and we never would've met." He tells me kissing my hair.

Was the heartbreak worth it in the end? Already I feel Greyson and I's relationship stronger than the one Jack and I shared. I feel more comfortable in my skin, more confident with my past while I'm around Greyson.

So yes, it was worth it.

I look up to Greyson, staring deeply into his oceanic eyes. Marveling at his perfectly tanned skin, his midnight hair that's tousled perfectly on his head. How can one person be so perfect? And how can someone so perfect like that, like someone like me?

"Because you're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen," Greyson's voice suddenly pops into my head. This almost sending me in the air with surprise.

Shit, I don't have any time to process the compliment he told me. I'm more interested in how he can do that.

"You're talking to me?"

He tickles mindless circles onto my back, that I've long forgotten the pain that just radiated through it. "It's our bond, your mark. I told you we'd be able to talk to each other via mind," he tells me as if I forgot. Which I did, but he doesn't know that. "I do now," he smirks.

Damnit. How do I control this mind talking thing? I'm saying all of my thoughts to him. "You need to picture your thoughts and words into two different groups," he tells me smirking down to me. He finds this amusing that I can't control what I'm saying to him, and by the look on his face. I can tell he's hearing what I'm thinking right now.

Greyson suddenly nods, telling me he heard everything once again. "Alright, we're going to do some role playing." Greyson says finally unwrapping his arms around me.

"What? No," I tell him.

Rolling his eyes he stares down to me, "Come on. This will help you get the hang of it." He flashes his million dollar smile, only making my lips twitch up into a smile.

I mean if this could help me- "Good! Let's get started," damnit he heard that too.

"Alright so what we're going to do is that you're going to introduce yourself to me as if we just met. I'm going to tell you something out loud, but then tell you something different in your head. But after we do that, we're going to do the same thing. Except you're going to do it." He finishes.

Not going to lie this makes my head spin, so many steps, so little brain room.

I nod my head, as if understanding. "Alright then, let's start." He smiles as if he's happy about doing this. Though I feel as if this is stupid, "It's not stupid. It'll help, now shake my hand as if you don't know me." He states smiling at me.

Greyson sticks out his hand, offering it to shake. Rolling my eyes I take his hand even if I feel like this won't help anything.

Gripping onto his calloused, yet soft hands I give it a shake. He gives me a small smile, "I'm Greyson, it's very nice to meet you."

I couldn't help but burst out laughing. This is so ridiculous, but I quickly sobered up because I knew he was only trying to help. "Nice to meet you too. I'm Willa," I suppress the laughter that's building up in my gut.

Slyly Greyson eyes the rest of my body. He takes his time, not caring if I'm shivering under his eyes. "I like your outfit," he says letting go of my hand.

I cover up my smile that's forming on my lips because I'm wearing the same tank top and shorts I was wearing yesterday. I mean I still have no clothes here, I'm just wearing all of Faye's clothes.

Greyson smiles and bows his head hiding it from me. Surely he can hear everything I just thought, almost breaking his character. When he looks up the smile is gone, and he's biting his lip instead.

I'd like to be biting that lip, a voice speaks up inside my head.

This I know Greyson could hear as I practically yelled inside my head. He growls lowly as his eyes darken with lust.

Quickly he takes his lip out from between his teeth, only making me yearn for him to do it again.

I'm becoming obsessive, I need to stop.

Greyson closes his eyes for a second, opening them back up returning them back to their oceanic blue. Only if I knew what he was thinking like he did for me. "Like I was saying," he clears his throat continuing. "I like your outfit," he flutters his eyes down quickly before reconnecting back with my eyes. "But I think it would look better on the floor," his voice echoes through my mind.

I suddenly choke on air with his words, as blush violently creeps up my neck. He can't just suddenly say that and expect me to not react.

He smirks coyly, eyeing me as I choke.

I suddenly feel self conscious in this outfit. Like I've over worn it. To be fair it does have blood stains on it, and it probably reeks of sweat. And I'm just casually sitting in it while Greyson checks me out. "I-uh imgoingtogotakeabath," I rush out sprinting to the bathroom.

"Willa wait!" Greyson chuckles right as I'm about to close the door. I stop it so I can only see him through one eye in the crack in the door. "You look beautiful, and you smell nice. Still like your scent that I'm obsessed with." I blush again, glad that he probably can't see it because of the door hiding my face. "Just please come back out here, it'll help I promise. You can try next," he smiles. That damned smile that I'd do anything for.

I huff out a breath opening the door, sliding out from it. I pad over to Greyson, not daring to look up to him. I'd probably blush like an idiot if I did.

But as I walk past him my wrist is quickly caught spinning me around. I'm shocked when soft lips meet mine, in a short kiss. As he pulls away from me, I'm left wanting more but I need to play it off.

Brushing off my dazed state, I peer up to him looking through my eyelashes. "I know you can do this. It's like a phone line inside your head. Pick which phone to speak through during the right times," he pecks my lips once again. Nodding slightly I sit across from him on the bed.

Alright Willa, you can do this.

Greyson smiles offering his hand to me once again. I sigh taking it, "Hi. I'm Willa," I tell him shaking it slightly.

Greyson's expecting me to say something out loud and say something else inside his mind. But what I'm going to do is say something out loud and keep my thoughts to myself. "I'm Greyson," he smiles widely.

"It's nice to meet you," I continue dropping his hand. Now this is the part where he's expecting me to say something inside of his head. But I'm not going to give him the satisfaction. Nope, my stubborn self won't let him. I shamelessly rake my eyes across his still shirtless torso. I linger at his 'x' shaped scar on his collarbone making him shiver under my gaze.

I smirk, feeling power to do whatever the hell I want.

You know what? It's time to get revenge.

You know that time when I tried to control myself as he was basically violating my neck on the dining room table? When he made me get all worked up only to step away and smirk when Koda found us? Well it was time to get him back.

Subtly I lick my lips, intentionally scooting closer to him. This is going to be fun, I tell myself. Trying with all my might not to let him hear it. And when I make eye contact with his eyes once again, I can tell he hasn't.

I smirk, scooting closer to him. Our legs touch as we both sit with our legs crossed.

Reaching my hand out I place my hand on his chest. This having an immediate reaction from him. He flutters his eyes closed dropping his head back. Next I snake my fingers down his bare torso, feeling his abs, feeling his muscles ripple under my touch. I stop my fingers at the hem of his pants, flicking them slightly earning a growl from Grey as his eyes shoot back open to study me.

He studies my calm face as I then place both of my hands on his torso, he blinks slowly at me as I run my fingers back up his chest.

"What are you thinking about?" He shakily asks me, and I know his skin is just crawling since he can't hear a single thought going through my head.

"You'll just have to wait and see," I tell him through my mind. Trying the trick he said to try before. And just like he said, I felt like I was picking up a phone line inside my head.

He growls impatiently, and I respond by pushing him harshly down to the bed. The force of my push shakes the bed slightly as I climb onto him, sitting on his stomach.

I lean down slowly, pecking a kiss onto his neck making him sigh. Then I place one on his chest, his jaw, then back to his neck. Just anywhere other than his lips.

I smirk as I nibble onto the skin of his neck, he growls impatiently for the second time. Done with all of the teasing that I've been doing. But little does he know, the teasing is all I'm going to do.

Greyson moves his hands slowly as they were coming up to direct my head down to his lips, but I quickly take my lips from his neck. Next I hope off of him and into the bathroom.

I stand in the doorway, leaning against the doorframe smirking smugly to a very dazed Greyson. He flips on the bed to where he lays on his stomach, so he can look at me.

"Paybacks a bitch," I say with a smirk. Glad I finally mastered mind linking, but also glad I finally got him back.

He pants slightly, as a small smile creeps onto his lips. "You're such a little tease," he laughs getting up from the bed. "Come here so I can get the kiss that should've happened," he storms over.

I yelp closing the door in his face, making sure to lock it. "I'm taking a bath!" I yell through the door hearing Grey growl at the other end.

"You better watch your back when you come out!" He jokingly states storming out of the room, probably to calm himself down. I laugh to myself before drawing the water.
