We make our way out of the restaurant after an hour of sitting and talking, the two people say they need to get going but they were very reluctant in doing so. 

"If you don't mind me asking, what are your names?" I ask that's something I should have asked through dinner but it never got brought up in conversation. 

"I'm Lukas and this is my wife Melissa" Lukas smiles as Melissa opens up her arms I think for a hug, okay weird.  

I smile and walk over accepting the hug, I thought it would feel weird to hug a woman that I've only met twice but in a weird way it didn't. It felt like we already had a bond I don't know where that bond came from but I pull away smiling, Lukas does the same thing as Melissa hugs Ryan, again with him it felt like I had this bond with him from somewhere. 

"It's been lovely talking with you again" I smile as we pull away Ryan interlocking our fingers again. 

"It has indeed, we should definitely do it again soon" Melissa smiles holding onto Lukas. 

"Definitely, but we should get going our mothers probably wondering where we are" Ryan smiles walking us back slowly as Lukas and Melissa stood still in place. 

"Goodbye Ryan and Ya-Savannah" Lukas smiles nearly calling me a different name, I didn't think much of it before we turn and start walking away towards our home.   

Once we were far enough away Ryan seems to stop tensing and speaks.

"I can't believe we got the chance to sit and have lunch with them," he says shocked but happy, I give him a confused look which he catches onto. 

"What do you mean?" I ask confused they seem like normal people, maybe posh but still normal.  

"Savannah don't you know who they are?" He asks I try to think but I always drew a blank I had no idea who they were 

"They're the werewolf King and Queen," he says like I was dumb for not knowing, which I probably was, why the heck did they want to have lunch with us?

Before I could respond our house came into view our mother just standing outside looking like she was waiting for us with her hands on her hips. 

"What took you two so long?" She asks a hint of annoyance in her voice. 

"You told us to stay out the house for a few hours," Ryan says, she quickly nods rubbing her hands on the apron she was wearing kind of nervously. 

"Just go upstairs and pack we're leaving tonight," she says turning to walk into the house but stops when I speak.  

"But I thought we were leaving on Monday," I say, that's what she even told us before she started cleaning.  

"Change of plan" is all she says walking in leaving the door open Ryan and I just stare at each other shocked. 

"We have a weird mother," we both say in unison with a smile. 

I start packing my things as my bedroom door knocked, I walk over opening it to see Gabbie standing there, I leave the door open but walk over to continue packing.  

"Do you need any help?" She asks, I could hear her slowly making her way into the room but I had my back to her.  

"I can manage" is all I say continuing to fold my clothes placing them into my bags neatly, she doesn't talk for a while.  

"Savannah I'm sorry, I didn't mean what I said," she says walking over to stand next to me but I still don't look up keeping my eyes on the clothes I was folding.  

"Then why say it?" I ask zipping up my bags after packing them until they were basically full,  I need options, I don't know what the weathers gonna be like. 

"I don't know why I said it, I was in the heat of the moment, I guess I was jealous that you've found your mate and I'm still looking for mine," she says sitting on my bed placing her hands in her lap. 

"I've found out that the person I thought was my brother is really my mate, there's not much to be jealous about," I say moving my bag so it was by the door, I still refuse to look at her. 

"I know that now, I'm so sorry Savannah," she says which finally makes me look over at her, she's starting to make me feel bad. 

"Come here," I say opening my arms, she immediately gets up and runs into my arms beat hugging me.

"I'm sorry Savannah," she says crying holding onto me tightly. 

"I know I'm sorry too, "I say hugging back as she continued to cry. 

Once we pull away she holds something up, I soon realise it was the bracelet she got me that I threw in her face, I smile taking it from her saying thanks. 

"My dad was able to fix it" she smiles I put it on as my mum shouts up the stairs rather loudly. 

"We're leaving!" She shouts, I pick my bags out walking out my room Gabbie following behind. 

Once I get out Ryan takes them off me putting it in the back I give Gabbie a final wave before I get in the back of the car with Ryan, my mum locks the front door running over to the car climbing in, she's really in a rush to leave.  

"Let's go," my dad says as he starts the car driving us away.

After a few hours of being in the car we finally arrive at the house we always stay in, every year we go away for a week and stay here. It's gonna be the first time in years that Ryan's gonna be with us and not just as my brother, but also my mate. 

We pull up all climbing out Ryan and I go to the boot to get our stuff out while mum and dad unlock the door, I try to pick my bag up but Ryan does before I could. 

"I'll carry it for you come on," he says walking towards the house making me smile and follow him in. 

He carried them all the way up to my bedroom for me, putting my bag on my bed turning around to face me. 

"You haven't really changed anything in here," he says looking around my room? I actually haven't thinking about it.  

"Well I'm only here for one week for an entire year, so there's not much point, I've changed a few things but not much thanks by the way for carrying my bags up" I smile as he picks his bag up which he placed on the floor. 

"I haven't seen my room in years," he says walking out, I follow behind his room was only next door. 

"Mum always locks it so no one can go in," I say as he unlocks his bedroom door carrying his own bag in smiling as he does. 

"Just how I left it" he smiles looking around, I haven't been in here since he left it did all look the same. 

"It's nice for you to come with us again" I smile he turns the smile still on his face as my mum pops her head in the door.  

"Getting settled in" she smiles walking into the room looking between us, which  was my cue to leave.  

"I better get going and sort my room out, I'll see you guys in a bit" I smile walking out Ryan's room and towards my own but Ryan stops me just as I got to my door. 

"Mum and dad said they're just gonna get takeaway but I don't feel like that tonight, so I was wondering after we unpack we could go get something," he asks smiling, I know this was his way to ask me to dinner with him, which made me feel weird thinking about that. 

"Yeah sure" I smile, he nods happily before walking back into his bedroom, I shake my head walking into my own bedroom smiling before I start unpacking my things. 

I was getting ready to go out with Ryan? I didn't want to dress up if he wasn't gonna, I look through my clothes and see something that was dressy but not too dressy. It was a flowing red dress that stopped just above my knee it was perfect. After around half an hour I make my way downstairs to see Ryan standing by the door, he wore black skinny jeans with a white dress shirt tucked in, my father walks over to him passing something but I couldn't see what it was. Ryan finally looks up and notices me walking down the stairs his mouth just hangs open. 

"I'd close that mouth you don't wanna catch flies" I smile making him shut his mouth instantly, as my mother walks out the kitchen. 

"Aww look at you two, wait here I need to grab my camera," she says running towards the kitchen as I make it fully down the stairs to stand next to Ryan. 

"I'll finally a nice photo of you Ryan as you didn't go to prom," she says turning it on but Ryan just sighs placing his hand around my shoulders for the photo.  

"It was a few days after I found out Savannah was my mate, I couldn't take her with me so I didn't want to go with some other person that wasn't her," he says looking down at me smiling as a flash of a camera filled the room.  

"What that moment was too cute not to take a photo, now smile," my mum says before taking a load of pictures.  

We managed to leave the house away from our mother holding a camera as Ryan drives us somewhere, I actually didn't know where the heck we were even going at this point but I thought it was nice that he was surprising me. 

"This next part you need to put this on," he says pulling a blindfold out of his pocket handing it to me. 

"You just carry a blindfold around with you" I smile making him laugh a little as I take the blindfold out his hand.  

"You never know when you might need one, now put it on we're nearly there" he smiles making me put the blindfold on covering my eyes. 

We drive for a few more minutes until he stops the car climbing out having to help me as well I couldn't see anything, he walks behind me making sure I don't walk into anything or trip over. He makes us stop letting go of me but told me not to take the blindfold off yet, so I was standing somewhere just wearing a blindfold. 

"Take it off now," he says after a few more minutes of me just standing in the middle of nowhere. 

I slowly take the blindfold off to see a beautiful forest themed picnic right in the middle of the woods. 

"I remembered you love nature so I set this up" he smiles as I take slow steps closer to the amazing place, it was so thoughtful of him. 

"This is incredible thank you" I smile as he takes my hand sitting me down on a picnic blanket next to him. 

"I got your favourite foods too," he says pulling all the snacks I love out a cute little picnic basket, I love all the little details.  

"How long did this take you?" I smile looking around this looks perfect it must have taken him ages. 

"Not long actually mum and dad helped, mum cooked the food while dad and I set all this up" he smiles, I'm gonna have to thank them when we get back, wait did I spent that long getting ready what the heck? 

But in a few hours, I'd soon realise that seeing them again wouldn't be that easy.

The picnic was amazing, we really got to catch up apparently he'd done a heck of a lot when he was travelling.  

"So you're telling me the guy just smashed a shop window and walked away like it was nothing," I say shocked, he was telling this story about a guy he came across on his travels, a very drunk guy.  

"Yeah just randomly, but I have to admit it was quite funny" he laughs remembering what happened making me smile "I never forgot you, you know every day I was wondering what you were doing" he smiles but I look to the floor, I guess since I found out about us being mates I was worried if he just forgot about me and went with other people, I know he isn't like that but when you find out your mate has been travelling around the world, I guess you don't know what to think. 

"Don't worry I never had any girlfriends or anything like that when I was away, the only person I thought of like I said was you and only you" he says like he knew what I was thinking making me smile, he takes my hand but his phone ringing spoils the moment. 

"Hello, wait slow down," he says I still didn't know who he was talking to but from the sounds of it the person wasn't happy, he puts the phone on speaker putting it between us.

"You and Savannah need to leave right now, don't bother coming back to this house at all quickly go back home but don't stay long," my father says really fast on the other end making me panic looking up at Ryan as he continues "pack some of your things and leave don't come back ever it isn't safe, whatever you do don't try to look for your mother and me, make sure you look after Savannah don't let any harm come to her or you," he says but he has to stop as we hear our mothers shouts in the background. 

"They're here we need to try and get away, give the phone to me," she says my father must have passed her the phone cause her voice was louder than our fathers panicking one in the background "you two need to look after each other now, just remember that we love you," she says as a huge crash could be heard with even more shouting but the phone goes dead. 

We don't speak and just sit in silence for a few seconds before Ryan springs in action, he stands up quickly picking some of our stuff up taking my hand making me stand. 

"We need to leave," he says making us run out of the woods and towards our car where he rushes me to get in. 

"Are we gonna go back to help them?" I ask as I put my seatbelt on but he just shakes his head. 

"No you heard what they said it's not safe for us," he says but I speak up before he could finish. 

"They're our- I mean your parents Ryan, we can't just leave them," I say but he just shakes his head taking the other turning away from where they were. 

"You're my mate, I'm gonna protect you over anyone that includes my parents, you're my main priority Savannah, they even told me that," he says grabbing my hand in his but I just sigh and look down, it feels so wrong we shouldn't be leaving them we should go back and help them like they've been doing for us our whole lives. I felt like I had too since they adopted me, if they didn't I could have been put with some really mean people and might have never met Ryan.  

"Nope that's wrong, he's our mate we would have found him no matter what," my wolf says in my head, wow I haven't heard from her in awhile. 

"I forgot about you," I say making her speak up kind of annoyed. 

"I'm always here Savannah just at the back of your mind, waiting for a time when I'm needed," she says making me smile, it's weird I only got her a few days ago and I feel like she's always been a part of me. 

"And you were needed now?" I ask, it's weird I feel like I'm talking to myself but I'm not at the same time. 

"Definitely! You were doubting if we'd ever find mate that was the perfect time for me to speak up, and yes I've always been a part of you ever since you were born, so even though I only was able to talk to you a few days ago I've with you since day one" she says making me smile but a question came to mind. 

"If you've been with me ever since the beginning, does that mean you know who my birth parents are?" I say but she seems to start disconnecting with me, I try to fight her to stay connected but it wasn't working. 

"That's correct, but I think it's your job to find out who they are," she says before she fully leaves making me snap back to reality being back in the car with Ryan. 

"Talking with your wolf" he says looking over at me but I just nod smiling "mine started to get annoying after a while, he kept telling me to tell you how you were my mate but I couldn't do that, even though I wanted too" he smiles making me smile with him. 

I stare out the window for awhile my wolf said she knows who my birth parents are, I wish I could remember them but I was obviously much too young to remember anything like that, as much as I've tried to these last couple of days. I must have only been a newborn when I was given up for adoption? that's what age you normally are. 

"You just turned a year old when you were taken from your parents," my wolfs says speaking up again but the way she says taken made me question everything even more, before I could ask her she blocked me out. 

"Get some rest," Ryan says snapping me out my thoughts once again but I shake my head "you've had a busy day? I'll keep driving, again your my main priority Savannah you're the only person I care about now," he says while reaching in the back pulling a soft throw blanket from the backseat.  

I decide to listen to him as I was actually getting tried, I wrap the blanket around me slowly drifting to sleep with Ryan's hand in mine.
