Sorry for the lateness!


Chapter 10

I bit my lip nervously. The only thing keeping me calm was the arm that Auden had wrapped comfortably around my waist while I was sitting in his lap. How would you feel if you had to tell the most important people on your life that you were moving in with your werewolf boyfriend, who by the way, you had just met? Auden and I agreed that I would tell them I was moving in with him and he would handle everything else.

Tess and Jasper were sitting on the couch cuddled together. Tyler and Ryan were also sitting on the same couch, with Ryan being the closet to us in the biggest arm chair. Zeke and Lucy were on the love seat while Davie and Saul were standing directly on the sides of the chair. I sighed, filled with worry. I gazed down at Auden who kissed my neck softly smiling warmly. Okay Gabi, you can do this.

"There are two things we need to tell you," I said, my voice surprisingly strong and authoritative.

"Please don't tell me your pregnant!" Jasper half shouted and we all laughed breaking the tension. Well all of us except for Ryan who looked angry. I blushed lightly and Auden gave me a small squeeze.

"Gabi and I haven't taken that step yet," Auden said and I could tell my brothers were impressed. "And we won't until she's ready." I smiled down at him lovingly.

"Okay then what is it?" Ryan asked impatiently.

"I'm moving in with Auden."

"WHAT?!" Tyler and Ryan shouted, jumping to their feet and I flinched away. Suddenly Davie and Saul were standing in front of me protectively and Auden's grip tightened.

"You both need to calm down," Davie said sternly, making them sit down. I glanced at Jasper and he was staring off in deep thought while Tess gave me a huge smile along with a thumbs up. At least someone was taking it well.

"You just met him!" Tyler said angrily.

"I know bu-"

"You're not going to." Ryan interrupted and I stared at him with disbelieve. My best friend is trying to...tell me what to do? I love Ryan to death but he will not tell me what to do. No one tells me what to do.

"It's already set and I'm moving in with him. There's nothing that any of you can say or do to change that," I said stubbornly.

"How can you possibly move in with someone you just met?!" Ryan shouted but this time I didn't flinch. He was pissing me off and I could feel Auden shaking beside me.

"Maybe if you hadn't been moping around and took the time to get to know him you wouldn't be so mad about it. I know Tess told you how important he is to me so whats the issue Ryan?"

"The issue is that you don't even know him that well! I mean you just met him and he got you fucking kidnapped!"

"Yes, he did get me kidnapped. But he apologized, it's over and done with. Now let me remind you, where did you go when you didn't know where I was?" I asked and the room was silent. "You came to him! And guess who saved me Ryan? Who found me? Who realized I was missing first? Who walked me through the front door Ryan? Auden did. And I love him for it."

"How could you possibly love hi-"

"Leave it Ryan," Jasper said before looking me directly in the eyes. "You're her best friend and he makes her happy so we just need to let her be." My anger instantly faded away as I saw the truth and sincerity. Jasper and I have always been close. Closer than Tyler and I so I knew he would understand.

Tyler's angry stare softened at what Jasper said and he looked at me. "I don't really like it but if Gabi's happy then I can't object." He shook his head before turning to look at Auden. "But let me tell you this, if you EVER hurt our sister, I will personally rip out your eyes and shove them down your throat so you can watch me rip out your internal organs." Jeez wiz. I mean I love my brother but did he have to be so graphic. To my surprise, Auden smiled.

"I guess we won't have to worry about that then, since I'd kill myself before I could if I ever hurt her," he smiled at me and my stomach erupted with butterflies. I can't stand it when he says stuff like that, it makes me all giddy like a silly school girl.

"Welcome to the family!" Tess said excitedly and my smiled widened. It fell quickly when I saw Ryan's hostile expression. What was his problem?

"Whatever," he muttered and my heart shattered. Why couldn't he just be happy for me? Auden treated me so well and I haven't smiled this much for a long time. I loved him. I thought best friends were supposed to be accepting. He didn't even try to get to know Auden. I held back the tears that were ready to spring from my eyes. Auden's hands came to my face and he gave me a sweet kiss as if to tell me everything would be okay. I looked into his blue eyes and I knew there was nothing but truth so I nodded.

"What else do you have to tell us?" Jasper asked and I looked back down at Auden and then back at my family.

"This is the other secret that I told you that I would share it with you but not without your sisters confirmation," Auden started and took a deep breath. "My family and I along with everyone in this house..we aren't normal."

"What do you mean?" Tyler asked scrunching his eyebrows and I grabbed Auden's hand, rubbing my thumb over his knuckles. He relaxed visibly and sent me a grateful look.

"I mean we're really different."

"How different?" Jasper asked.

"Like different DNA," Auden said calmly gauging their responses. They seemed a tad confused.

"I don't understand..." Tess trailed off looking at me and I gave her a small smile.

"Why don't you show them," Auden suggested and Davie gave a firm nod before taking his shirt off and his shorts, leaving him in his boxers. I watched them give him a weird look. But in the blink of an eye he was

"WHAT THE FUCK?!" Tyler shouted and Tess screamed bloody murder. Tyler jumping up and scooted as far away from Davie as possible. Tess was on Jasper's lap with her eyes covered and he was clutching her. Ryan's jaw was on the floor and he pushed up against Tyler away from Davie. The fear on the their faces should've worried me but I couldn't help it. I laughed. Davie snapped his head towards me and gave me a wolfish grin before coming over and licking my face. I giggled. "GABRIELLA GET AWAY FEOM THAT BEAST BEFORE IT EATS YOU!" Tyler shouted and we all laughed at him. He looked at us shocked. "DON'T JUST STAND THERE PEOPLE! MY SISTER'S ABOUT TO GET MAULED BY A RABID WOLF!" they laughed some more and I finally decided to reassure them.

"Tyler its okay, he's not going to hurt me," I explained while petting Davie's. He leaned into my touch.

"It's a fucking wolf Gabi!" Jasper said.

"Yes it is a wolf and it's also Davie and Davie would never hurt me," I smiled at Davie. "Isn't that right boy?" I said playfully and Auden rumbled with laughter along with his parents and Saul.

"D-Davie's a w-wolf?" Tess asked hesitantly and Auden nodded. "Y-Your're a wolf t-too?" Auden nodded.

"Yeah we're all werewolves," he shrugged nonchalantly. "We were born that way. This is one of the pack houses and I'm the alpha." David changed back and slipped his shorts backs on. They were just staring at him and he smiled his million dollar smile.

"Cool right?" he said enthusiastically. God I love Davie.

"Explain..." Jasper said motioning to a grinning Davie while keeping his arm safely around Tess. Auden went on to tell the long story about werewolf evolution and told them all about the pack, with help from his parents, Saul and Davie. They asked occasional questions but they weren't as freaked out when the whole conversation was over.

"Gabi are you a werewolf or something?" Ryan spoke for the first time and I laughed.

"No, I'm human," I said, "why?"

"Your dating a human, isn't that against one of your laws or something?" Ryan asked and I shook my head.

"Auden is my mate so it's allowed," I said and they gave me questioning looks and I sighed.

"What the hells a mate?" Ryan asked.

Auden looked me in the eyes, "In the werewolf world, you're made but not alone. You are made with and for one person only and that's a mate. They are your other half and your everything. You are meant to be together and no one could possibly compare. Ever. When you find them, you can't even look or see anyone else because they're all you think about. You suddenly don't need air to breathe, you just need to know that they're there. When you look at them you want to be a better person, someone they can be proud of. You want to be a better you. It could take all your life to find your mate but I was blessed and ended up hiring mine." His explanation came to an end, but I didn't notice much. I was too busy staring into his eyes. I could easily see the love and it made my heart swell. I knew he was talking more to me then he was to them because he went into such detail and his eyes never left mine. He belonged to me. This amazing man was all mine and I was his.

"So it's like a married couple?" Jasper asked and Auden shook his head, breaking eye contact.

"No, it's a thousand times more intense than that. You are literally made for one other. Our hands were made to hold one another's, our bodies were made to be intertwined and our souls are bonded to each other's. In the human world, half of all marriages end in the divorce, in my world its only .7%. Basically if Gabi wasn't here I wouldn't be here either."

"That's crazy," Tyler muttered. "Are you mates?" He asked Zeke and Lucy and they nodded.

"So what you feel for my sister is real?" Jasper asked.

"Yeah, it would hurt him more to hurt her than it would actually hurt her," Davie said and I laughed lightly. "It's almost physically impossible because he would feel it some too."

"What?"

"Since I'm an Alpha and we're mates, that makes Gabi Alpha female and we're going to be linked together in the tightest bond known to my people. We can feel each other feelings and if I hurt her, I'll feel it too." Auden hadn't told me about the intense bond, not that I was mad or anything but...wow.

"Okay so you guys are going to be together forever?" Tess said and we nodded looking at each other.

"WEDDING!" She shouted, jumping up and clapping.

"Yes, we will be getting married eventually," Auden smiled up at me. "But not until Gabi's ready."

"You're going to get married?" Ryan practically chocked out and I nodded silently. "Are you kidding me?" His tone quickly changed to pure rage. "He's got you so brainwashed it's scary!"

"Brainwashed?" I said, appalled at his behavior. "What are you talking about?!" I stood up shouting at him. Ryan and I never fought and he just seemed to want to cause problems. I'm not asking him to accept everything right now all I want is for him to be happy for me. Is that too much to ask? It shattered my heart again.

"Not only have you just met him but he got you kidnapped and beaten up and to top it all off, he's a goddamn werewolf!" He laughed bitterly. "You really know how to pick 'em." He said shaking his head and there my heart went once again. Completely obliterated.

"Yeah I picked you as a best friend didn't I?" I said quietly but I knew he heard me by the crestfallen look on his face. And a part of me felt guilty but the other part was way to hurt to even care. I looked into Ryan's pain filled eyes and shook my head before walking out of the room, leaving the conversation behind completely. I sat on the end of my bed crying silently. Why was Ryan so against me and Auden?! It was like he didn't even want me to be happy. Best friends want their best friends to be happy right? I wanted Ryan to be happy and I told him hundreds of times that the girl he ended up with would be lucky. Shoot all I would ever want was for him to be happy. So why was my happiness a problem? I understand where he's coming from a little with all of our years of friendship and our past together but this is where I feel I belong.

I stripped down to my bra and underwear and slipped in the silk robe Auden had given me. I tied it loosely before walking over to the small french double doors leading to a small balcony. I looked out at the beautiful large backyard. There was a huge pool accompanied with a jacuzzis and lots of chairs. The yard was dark but the grass was perfectly cut and vibrant green. Where the yard ends, it turns into semi-dense woods. The trees were tall and thick looking lively. I sighed as my mind trailed off to Ryan again. Could it be possible that I lost a friend? I was so into my thoughts that I didn't notice that Auden had come into the room. He wrapped his arms around me from behind.

"You okay?" He asked softly and I shrugged.

"Not really."

"Wanna talk about it?"

I sighed, "I just wanted him to be happy for me ya know? I didn't expect him to be just be okay with everything. Shoot I didn't even expect him to accept everything all at once but I at least wanted him to be somewhat happy. Plus who wants to fight with their best friend?" Auden's arms tightened and he kissed my neck a couple of times before starting to suck it. I bit back a moan.

"Don't worry about Ryan baby, if he loves you like I know he does then he'll get over it and be happy for you."

"So you don't think I'll loose him as a friend?"

"Not at all, stop stressing over nothing. He'll come around," he said pressing open mouth kisses to my neck pulling me closer.

"Your sure?"

"Yes, now hush and let me take care of you princess," he said huskily untying my robe. His hands brushed over my skin lightly, setting it on fire. I leaned my head back on his shoulder and closed my eyes. His fingers made small circles on my exposed hip bones before dipping dangerously into my panties. His lips continued sucking on my soft spot while his fingers made teasing circles. One of his hands continued the small circles and he other one brushed my sensitive spot on the outside of my panties. I gasped as tingles erupted throughout my body in waves. He nibbled on my earlobe gently while his hand was brushing against me softly. I moaned at the double sensation. He suddenly pulled away and I whimpered at the loss.

"Tell me what you want me to do princess," he whispered in my ear while running his hands up and down my sides. One dipped down again barely touching me but my knees went weak. He knew exactly what I wanted by the way he was teasing me.

"Huh?"

"Whatever you want," he said huskily making me shiver.

"Whatever I want?"

"Yes," his hand glides down between my legs making me whimper again.

"Auden." I bite down hard on my lip when his fingers graze over the thin material of my panties again.

"Princess," he kissed my soft spot.

"Please..." I beg wiggling my hips towards his hand a little.

"Please what?" He teased, pushing his body harder against mine. "I can't do anything if you don't tell me what you want." I turned around and crashed my lips to his for a moment and he smirked. "You won't get your way doing that," he informed me before shoving his tongue passed my lips. His hand still between my legs, his tongue wrestled with mine and his perfect body pressed against mine; all I knew was if he didn't touch me soon, I might lose it.

"No.." I whimpered against his lips when he went to remove his hand. "Please Auden." He pulled back from our kiss and my whole body missed his warmth, his blue eyes piercing mine. "Please touch me," I begged quietly and his eyes darkened as a possessive growl left his lips. His hands move to my butt squeezing it before lifting me up. I wrapped my legs around his waist while he took me to the bed. He stood in between my legs as they hung off the bed and I laid back. He pulled off my robe completely revealing my plain purple bra and panty set. He quickly removed it, leaving me naked, and appraised my body like he always did when we were intimate. When he was finished, he licked his lips, the action making me blush.

His skin feels like fire under my cold hands, the way his hot tongue flicks where the base of my neck and shoulder meet made me tingle all over. And his hips were slowly rocking against mine, his hardness evident in his jeans, making me want to remove the clothing that separated us.

"Auden," I groaned while wrapping my legs around his waist forcing his want against mine. My nails dug deep into his shoulder as he worked his magic on my neck. My god, he had a gifted mouth. "Please," I moaned when his hand slipped between my thighs.

"Gabi," he groaned when I bit down on to his neck, his pulse throbbed under my tongue. I felt him graze me once again and I wiggled my hips closer instinctually, fighting off another moan as I shuddered.

"Uhh..." My body arched into him when he slowly, almost painfully slow, slides one of his fingers into me. He started pumping it in and out of me and trailed a line of kisses down my neck, between my breasts, licking my nipples teasingly. My breathing became heavy as he ran his tongue down my stomach, over my navel toward my wanting core, his hand moving rhythmically between my legs. Without breaking the rhythm he adds another finger making me arch and moan. When he reaches his destination, he does one slow lick, running his hot tongue over me, around his fingers, continuing their pleasure.

My eyes slam shut and I throw my head back onto the plush pillows as he lifts one of my legs over to rest on his shoulder, opening me just a little bit more.

"Auden.." I grip my fingers though his dark hair, sucking in a breath when he inserts a third finger, his mouth sucking hard as I wrestled for control over my body. Tingles were all over like the small sheen of sweat covering my body. I moaned continuously, explicit sounnds pouring out of my mouth like vomit. Unstoppable. Normally I would've been embarrassed but I was too euphoric to even care. "Oh god," I feel my muscles clutch around him, my hips buck and my body arches pushing his fingers deeper in me. Panting hard, I feel the waves of pleasure wash over me repeatedly. It was like hurricane Katrina..on my body. My heart races in my chest and I lose all energy. His mouth made it's way slowly back up my body reaching my ear.

"I love you." He pressed his lips to mine gently.

"I love you too," I whispered sliding my leg up and tangled around his.

"Gabi," he groaned into my shoulder as I slid my hand down his body. His shirt had magically disappeared and I loved his body, it was just pure perfection. I had never touched him and I really wanted to. Badly. "No," he protested weakly as I slipped my hand down the front of his jeans defiantly. I can feel his hardness through his boxers and my mind raced, and I gripped him, "Fuck!" He groaned loudly making me smirk. My heart begins to race but this time with nerves when I slowly stoke him, realizing quickly how big he was. There was no way he'd fit inside of me. Though I've been with guys before, only a few but none were like this. Even my first time didn't hurt that bad because not even Ryan is this big and he is quite blessed. But Auden... Good god he was huge.

"Gabi," he thrust against my hand, his breath racing fast against my neck as I stoke him back and forth, slowly gripping and releasing. His hand grabbed my chin and catching my mouth as my hand sped up. He nipped my lip and I opened welcoming his warm tongue. He coaxed me encouragingly as my speed increased. His groans became a mantra as I latched onto his neck sucking at it until I found his soft spot. I smirked again when he let out a loud growl when I nibbled it. I worked him into a frenzy, my mouth sealed over his neck. He spilled into my hand as his abs tightened and he released. His orgasm rocked his body as he shook above me and let out a loud moan. His body then collapsed on top of mine. Yes he was heavy and a bit sweaty but I loved the feeling of our skin pressed together. I wrapped my arms around him and kissed the top of his head.

"That was amazing," he said softly, breath brushing against my collar bone.

"Oh yeah?" I asked slyly.

"Yeah," he rested his chin on my chest looking up at me. He smiled brightly. "Thank you princess," I pressed a light kiss to his lips.

"Anything for you Auden."

The next morning Auden woke me up and gave me breakfast in bed before Tess came storming in the room, shouting about us going shopping.

"No Tess I don't want to go!" I said as she dragged me out of bed. Auden laughed hysterically at me and I scowled. "You're just going to let her take me?"

"Yeah," he stood up and pulled me to him. "You deserve it baby." He gave me a sweet kiss. "Plus while your gone, me and a couple of guys are going to get your things."

"From my apartment?" I asked and he nodded. "Umm-"

"Nope you have no say, it's already been decided so you go out and enjoy yourself today," he gave me another peck and left the room. Ugh!

"Come on Gabi get in the shower, I have an outfit for you," Tess shoved me in the bathroom and I groaned. Here we go again. I showered quickly and got out to a shouting Tess. She was complaining about my nail beds and my eyebrows and how they needed a good waxing. She asked about my other wax too but I refused to answer. She sighed and left me to get dressed. But not without telling me to straighten my hair. I sighed, pulling on the stupid white lace thong and bra set that Tess laid out. I didn't have any other clothes here so I didn't have a choice. I walked into the bathroom and turned the straightener on before putting on my light make up.

I stopped to look at myself. There were hickeys on the inside of my thighs and I blushed. Auden and I had a couple rounds after the first and it seemed he couldn't get enough. But he never pressured me to take it any further. Which I was happy about, though I was really starting to question my values because of the seriousness of our relationship. I know I'm going to have to do it anyway, not to mention the full moon's in a couple of weeks. And on top of that, last night I wanted more. I didn't just want to stop at giving him pleasure with my hands. I wanted him completely. All of him. I wanted to feel him inside me and I held back a bit last night despite the need I felt to feel him.

I finished my make up and straightened my hair quickly. It didn't take too long since Tess blow dried my hair. I put on the outfit Tess set out for me and I actually approved. Well kind of. The shirt was pale pink with a tad of lace. It was tight, complimenting my figure except for the front, it was a little too low for my liking. As always. She paired it with a pair of tighter than necessary low cut jeans. The heels were the same color pink and were rather high. It was topped off with some matching earrings, a bracelet, sunglasses and a purse.

I gave myself a once over in the mirror and left the room. No body was in the house because of the nice weather so I walked out to the deck. As I assumed, everyone was outside. I looked around until I spotted Auden talking to my brothers, Tess, Saul, Davie and Drake. I ignored the painful pang in my chest when I didn't see Ryan. Sighing loudly, I walked over to the bunch pretending I didn't hear some of the wolf whistles.

"You are not wearing that!" Tyler said and I rolled my eyes. "I mean it Gabi!" Auden put an arm around my waist as a growl left his lips. The cat calls silenced immediately and I kissed his cheek.

"Relax," I said putting a hand on his vibrating chest. He snapped his head down to me and his face softened, his hand rising to caress my cheek.

"It's hard to when they are hitting on my mate," I kissed his lips to silence him before he went on a rant about how much he wanted to rip their heads off.

"No worries Auden, you know I'm yours," I said quietly and he nodded.

"You guys are so adorable!" Tess said clasping her hands together with a huge smile. She was also in a pair of nice jeans, a semi-dressy shirt and pumps.

"What are y'all so dressed up for?" Tyler asked glancing from me to Tess who have him an are you stupid stare.

"We're going shopping!" she said and I groaned again making all the boys laugh.


Lol what do you think of their reactions to them being werewolves? And Ryan's reaction to Gabi moving on?
