We reached our goal!!! OMG!!! I'm gonna cry, this is amazing! I honestly can't believe it.

Well it's looks like all you lovely people get a...drum roll please...DOUBLE UPDATE!!!

So here is Chapter 12.

Love you all and happy reading!!!

Unedited...at the moment.

--------

"Come on, just a little further!" Mason says while dragging me into the backyard.

"You said we were taking a tour of the house not the yard." I honestly don't mind being outside. In fact I love it but its been a long couple days and I just wanna lay down.

"Ok. Here we are!" He says excitedly.

I look around and I must say I'm pretty DISAPPOINTED! There is nothing out here but a deck and some big willow trees.

I mean yeah, the backyard is huge but there is nothing really special about it.

"Ok. It's cool." I lamely state.

I look over to Mason to see he is strangely...amused by my reaction.

"Follow me." He takes my hand again and starts walking towards the trees.

"Mason where are-" He cuts me off by shushing me.

Ahhhh hell nah!

"Mason Riddle don't-" He cuts me off. Again with the cutting me off and shushing.

"Just please shut up and follow me." He orders impatiently.

"Ok. Sorry." I reply a bit shaken up. He's never used that tone with me. He's always playful or romantic, but never demanding?

"I'm sorry. Its just I've been waiting to show you this ever since I found out we were mates and I can't wait any longer." He apologizes and pulls me through the trees and into a clearing full of flowers.

"Mason, wh-what is this place?" I stutter at its beauty.

There are flowers everywhere. Purple, pink, blue, and white. This place is absolutely gorgeous and it's hidden away behind the trees.

"I used to come here all the time before I moved in with my uncle. I came here to think or to get away from everything." Mason says sheepishly.

Mason moved in with his uncle Jack when he was eight. His uncle was apart of my dad's pack so we ended up going to school together. He told me his parents wanted him to have better schooling, but we all know now it was really because of the rogue attacks.

"You're the only other person who knows about this place. I've never showed anyone else." He says and turns me to face him.

I secretly love how he has never showed this place to another girl or anyone for that matter. It makes me feel...special.

"Paisley I know we never really got along as kids but that doesn't matter. We're grown up now and we're mates" He says and takes ahold of my hands and intertwines our fingers. "I couldn't picture my life without you. Please just give me a chance to prove I can be a good mate before you reject me." He begs and looks at me with those puppy dog eyes.

"Mason, who ever said anything about rejecting you?" I reassure him.

Instead of answering he closes the gap between us and kisses me gently. I expected him to do that so I immediately kiss back.

I missed his kiss so much! It feels like coming home after being gone for a year. It send tingles up and down my body and I can't help but moan into it.

I can feel Mason smirk against my lips. He knows what he does to me and by the way he is holding me against him, I can tell what I do to him.

He picks me up and places me down on the soft grass. Instead if placing all his weight on me, he uses one hand to hold himself up and the other to caresses my cheek.

Our kiss intensifies and he swipes his tongue against my bottom lip, asking for entry.

I open my mouth and he wastes no time. Our tongues move in sync and I find myself shivering. We break apart for air and he starts placing kisses on my jaw then my neck. Making his way down at a very slow and tortuous pace.

He places open mouth kisses on my neck and once he finds the spot where my mark should be, I lose it.

A mark is where your mate bites you claiming you as his own. My cousin told me it hurts like a bitch but the pleasure you feel afterwards is amazing.

Mason continues to kiss that spot and I feel like I'm melting underneath him.

He continues lower and starts to kiss my collar bone but I stop him.

"I..um think we should head back. I have to check on Jamie." I mutter.

He hesitates at first but gets up and pulls me with him. He kisses me again but this time it's slow and lingering.

He's trying to kill us isn't he?

My wolf asks.

He takes my hand and we start making our way back to his house.

"I'm not gonna force you into letting me mark you. Im ready when you're ready baby." He says sweetly and I surprise both of us and kiss his cheek.

"Thanks." I mumble through my now blushing cheeks.

We reach the door and are about to open it when a hand on my back stops me. I look over expecting to see my dad or Max but instead I see some random guy I don't know.

He still has his hand on me which Mason doesn't take to kindly to.

"Get your hands off my mate or I'll kill you." He snaps. By the way he's breathing hard I know he's serious.

"Sorry Alpha Mason. I just couldn't help myself. She's so pretty." The slime ball says and gives me the most hideous smile I have ever seen in my life. Like, no joke!

"Don't tempt me Jason. I'm not above killing you in front of her. Last warning! Paws off!" Mason growls.

The guy whose name I learned to be Jason takes his hands off of me and raises them in submission.

"Touch her again and you're dead. She's MINE!!!" Mason roars causing his Beta Dawson to come outside and try to break this up.

While Mason was threatening this dudes life, he managed to pull me back behind him protectively. I know I need. To calm him down by the way his eyes are turning black and I can tell his wolf is trying to come out.

I place my hand on his shoulder and he visibly relaxes.

He turns around and drags me in the house at lightning speed.

"Are you ok?" He questions. I find it adorable how he asks if I'm ok when he's the one who about committed murder.

"I'm fine. Are you ok?" I ask and wrap my arms around his neck.

"Yeah babe, I'm fine." He reassures me and snakes his arms around my waist.

I decide its time to lighten the mood. "Babe? That's a shame. I was really getting use to kitten." I say with a slight smirk.

"Really?" He purrs and kisses my jaw up to my mouth.

He places several pecks on my lips and then he kisses me so passionately I don't even realize his hands are going up my shirt, and to be honest, I don't really care. The feelings this boy gives me will be the death of me.

"Am I interrupting something?"

Mason shows us such a sweet side in this chapter but he also shows his possessive side again, which I promise there will be more of. Just a lot more intense.
