Tatum-After we arrived at the packhouse, Brook went straight up to her room without a word. I wanted to stop her, but with everything she has been through, I figured she needed some time to herself. Going into my office, it didn’t take long for Eric to barge in.“What happened?”“She had a run-in with her old pack.” I answered while deleting all the files I had on my computer, related to the contract between Brook and me.“You can’t just tell me that and not explain what the hell happened.”I didn’t feel like it was my place to tell him what happened, though I suppose I did owe him some explanation.“When I found her, she had already wiped out twelve wolves or so. I think you would have been proud of her. She has come a long way since when she arrived. Honestly, I couldn’t remember a time even I had been impressed. I took out the Alpha Mathew, though he was no longer the Alph

Tatum- The fact she was even giving me a chance to prove myself was more than I could ask for. I didn’t blame her for being cautious to begin anything with me. The more I thought about it, the more I knew that if I would have let things go on anymore with the way I acted, I would have lost her for good. I am just sorry it has taken me so long to see just what I had right in front of me all this time. Since she arrived I have had a soft spot for her, but I thought it had just been because of what she went through. Thinking back it was just her. It was her strength and resolve to keep fighting no matter how hard she was knocked down. Nothing that has been thrown at her has kept her from trudging forward. If I was being honest with myself, it was probably during the Luna Ceremony that I realized just how special she was. Who was I kidding? It was even before then. I would always love Leslie, but what if felt for Brook was very much real. I knew it wasn’t

Brooklyn-The idea of learning more about my father was tempting, though at this point I wasn’t sure if I was ready to learn. I had thought maybe I was, but thinking about it now, I wasn’t. I felt like I needed to figure out who I was first.If my father was really this Legendary Crescent Wolf, he was well known and feared. Right now I didn’t think I was able to even live up to the name. Besides, if he hadn’t actually known my father personally, how much of the information he had was accurate?He had been a young boy and that had been years ago. What information he did have could be limited and misconstrued. Shaking my head, I decided right now wasn’t the time. He may not even have much information to give me, at least anything I was interested in knowing.Sure, it would be nice hearing about him, but I was more interested in who he was as a person and less about his legacy.“That is okay, the offer is available

Brooklyn-For the past twenty minutes, since I told Belle about my plan, she has been silent. I couldn’t read her expression. I didn’t know if she liked it or not. My nervousness increased with each passing moment, as I waited for her to say something.At this point, I would even be okay if she said she didn’t like it. Anything was better than the silence. Eric had told me I was ready to bring it to her, but now I wondered if I should have taken another day or so to go over everything with a fine comb.All the excitement I had, of showing her my plan was greatly decreasing. It wasn’t so much I was worried if she didn’t like it or not. I didn’t mind tweaking things if necessary. The not knowing was troublesome though. I have spent a lot of time on this and I wanted it to be perfect.More than anything I wanted it to get approved. Even if it took me longer. My concern was her saying it was an absolute no. She had encourag

Tatum-I was a nervous wreck. I was waiting for Brook to finish getting ready for our date and all I could do was pace back and forth in the living room. It wasn’t like she was taking a long time, I have only been waiting thirty minutes since she got out of the shower. It was just that I knew that this date was going to determine just how hard it was going to be to win her heart.All day I have been going back and forth in my head just how much I needed to reveal to her. There were some things I didn’t think she needed to know, but how was I to know what I needed to tell her and what I didn’t? If I revealed too much, I could scare her off. If I didn’t reveal enough I was just going to keep her at a distance.It didn’t help that I received some news from a contact of mine that said he came across a group of hunters that fit the description I gave him. Right now I had him trailing them to find out more information. He didn’t hav
