"Yes, My Keya tastes like the sweetest mangoes you'll ever eat." "Whoa! Cool!" Shawn says. "Yeah it's exciting right? Don't worry lil man one day you'll have your own sweetness too!" He grins really wide hearing that and I ruffle his hair. "How old are you?" "I'm 8!" He says proudly, I tell him, "Well you have about 8 more years before you can find her, tito. Remember to always treat her like a princess, k?" He nods earnestly, Javier asks curiously, "So you've never been to any Pack functions or anything?" I look at him completely confused, "What's a pack?" He's totally stunned,

"A Pack is a group of werewolves. We're basically are like a family that protects and cares for each other. And we have a hierarchy, ranked members based on your blood and strength. So Alpha CJ is our current leader because he is the strongest and has Alpha blood. His father, Alpha Alonzo, was the previous Alpha. And then there are the Betas like me who are second in command. There are many of us Betas throughout the territory because we own so much land. Many smaller Packs wanted to join us so they'd be better protected from Rogues and other species trying to wipe them out! There are also Gammas or third in command and Deltas or forth in command. The lowest ranked members are our Omegas. They aren't as strong as the rest of us, but they're still treated with respect. We all are deadly loyal to our Alpha though, he's word is law!" He explained, it kinda reminds me of the ranking system in the Marines.. hold on, "Did you say Alpha CJ? A friend gave me his card today. So I could contact him directly."

"Oh that's great! Well, hey are y'all doing anything later on this evening? I'd love to invite you over to see how our Pack operates. Since it seems that you've never been around other wolves before." He asks, I tell him, "Hold that thought." He nods; I really need to wake her up now because I want her to make her own decision. So taking his advice I blow on her gently.. Her eyes squint then open slowly ..

(While I was passed out.)

I was sitting in the grass of that forest where I had first met Ja'el. She was sitting there also, looking regal and majestic. There's a cool breeze blowing. It was making her gorgeous fur ripple. The sunshine gleaming on her whitish silver fur creating a cascading mirage of holographic pinks, reds, yellows and orange. I smile seeing how beautiful she is and can't believe that I will turn into her one day. But when I met her eyes my smile fades. I frown my head tilting to the side. "What's wrong?" She looks sad and mad; her eyes are the opposite of mine. Dark navy blue outlined with brown. She began talking to me telepathically again, but her emotions show on her face.

"You were going to say, 'YES!' weren't you?" I can feel her emotions through her words like they were my own, it's really weird. "I don't know what I was gonna say honestly.." I didn't, all I know is that this relationship is moving so fast. "He needs to wait until we know for sure. Look my Mother the Moon Goddess has given all of her children a life soulmate. She created a perfect individual for each of us. They are called a soulmate because they are the other half of our soul. We are totally incomplete without them. We belong to them as they belong to us!" She says and I feel her sincerity. "I understand that totally Ja'el, but.. I can't imagine myself without Manny now. He has woven himself into me. I am His and he's Mine. I don't wanna be away from him but I'm not ready to marry him either." "Oh thanks be to the Goddess above!" She fell down in the grass all dramatically with the back of her large paw on her forehead lol, drama queen.

She sat up, crossing her paws in front of her saying, "Just promise me you'll wait until our birthday please?!" "I'll wait and when our birthday comes, whether or not he is our Mate; I'll tell him, Yes!" She gasps, "Rukeya seriously?!" "Yes seriously!" She huffed, "Even after all I just told you about Mates?" I rolled my eyes, "Yes, Ja'el, I'm starting to believe that he is our Mate. Why would Kane lie about something so important?" She growls exasperated rolling her eyes, "You're right it wouldn't make sense for him to lie! Well for both our sake, I pray that he is our Mate." I sigh, "Me too, I would hate that he bought me all this stuff and has my name tattooed on him and I belong to someone else. That's really trifling. But what's got me worried is this info I'm gonna hear from my family about me not being 100% Human!" She puts her head down in between her paws, sort of cupping her face. Her breathing moving the grass back and forth.

"Yeah, I'm interested in that too! I mean, I knew we were special because my Mother told me so. But I never knew we were part Angel! That's incredible!" I laid down on my back, looking into the sky through the canopy of palm trees. "I wanna know which of my ancestors had sex with an Angel and what the hell that felt like!" I giggled, daydreaming about it. I felt someone blow on me.. WTH! "It's Manny, we'll talk later." I felt her smile as I opened my eyes to see my Papi. "Papi?" He grins, "Hey Princess, you good?"

I nod smiling; he looks so damn handsome! "I'm sorry I overwhelmed you and you don't have to make a decision right away, k?" He was cupping my face. I grab his hand and kiss his palm. His chest rumbles. I'm loving that sound more and more. "Ask me again on my birthday and my answer will be, Yes!" I whisper to him. His eyebrows rose and his eyes turned a dazzling diamond blue. Panting, he says, "Really no take backs?!" I giggled, "No take backs, I Am Yours, Papi!" He places the ring on my finger and holds me up and kissed me for a long ass time..
