Kieran and I sat outside in his very spacious back garden. He had surprised me this morning by asking me to get ready as he had something planned for us, well he planned something for me. I decided to put on a cute summery dress white some white flat shoes. I straightened my hair out then put half of it up into a pony tail. Outside in the garden, a bit further away from the mansion but not too far, there was a white gazebo built up, inside the gazebo there was a table with two chairs and a picnic basket. There was some cute fairy lights up around the inside as well as an iPod in an iPod speaker dock.

"I thought we could spend some time out here today, together and talk about things, start making plans" Kieran said

I stood still, frozen on the spot where I had stopped walking, still amazed that Kieran had all this set up and planned.

"Hello, Earth to Felicity" Kieran said waving his hand in my face

"You planned all this for us ?" I asked tearing my gaze away from the gazebo to look at Kieran.

"I planned this for you, but like I said I thought we could spend some time out here to talk and make plans" Kieran said.

Kieran led me inside the gazebo and pulled my chair out for me. I smiled and thanked him before sitting down. Kieran sat down and poured us both a glass of water.

"You glad you finally spoke to your parents and let them know your safe" Kieran said

"Yeah me too, it was good to see them again and speak to them. I'm glad they were understanding of our plans and gave us their blessing" I smiled

"I've been thinking and only if your okay with it, maybe I could mark you tonight ?" Kieran asked

"I'm okay with that but what about the urm mating part ?" I asked trying not to sound awkward

"We can discuss that when your more comfortable around me and feel ready" Kieran replied

"So are you going to tell me what you spoke to my dad about ?" I asked remembering he hadn't told me

"All in time, I was thinking of throwing a ball here soon, to celebrate us and your upcoming 21st birthday" Kieran answered

"You don't need to go to all that trouble for me" I tried to say no in a polite way

"It's no trouble, I'm guessing you've never had a ball thrown for you or in your name before" Kieran said

"Well no, I've never been one to like being the centre of attention plus I've never been important to anyone except from my parents" I explained

"Well your important to me and as my future Luna, I want to show you off to all my friends and allies. Your important to me" Kieran said

"Who would attend it, the ball or party I mean" I asked nervously

"I have a lot of very close allies in other areas. I would invite my closes friends, Alpha Oliver Barnes and his Luna, Fiona. They were great friends to my parents and were great at helping me" Kieran said but he didn't look me in the eye, instead his eyes were glued to the grass below us.

"Kieran, I don't know what happened to your parents, I'm not prying, I can see how much it still hurts you to talk about them but when you feel ready to tell me, you can. I don't mind waiting and giving you that time and space" I told him as I gently reached for his hand and held it in mine.

Kieran lifted his head and moved his gaze from the grass to meet my eyes.

"Thank you" Kieran said

"So when was the last time a ball or party was thrown here at your pack house / mansion ?" I asked

"A good few years ago now" Kieran answered as he thought about it

"I bet you had a few girls on the dancefloor wanting a dance with you" I joked

"Actually I didn't dance with anyone. I've never danced with another girl before" Kieran admitted

"What ?" I asked in utter shock

"I've never danced with anyone.....ever" Kieran said looking around awkwardly

"Right well let's change that" I said jumping up and walking over to the iPod and picked it up before looking threw the songs.

"What are you doing ?" Kieran asked confused as he walked over to me.

"You'll see" I replied.

I came across the perfect song - Christina Perry A Thousand Years. I selected the song then quickly pulled Kieran over beside me, away from the table and chairs.

"What are you doing ?" Kieran asked confused

"Teaching you to dance and having our first dance" I smiled

I took Kieran's hand in my right one before placing his other hand on my hip and placing my left hand on his shoulder on his left. As the music began to play, we slowly began to move.

"Have you danced before ?" Kieran asked

"No, not really. Only a few small lessons at school" I answered.

We had no problem with the music especially since most of the songs were slow and romantic. Kieran removed his hand from my hip and twirled me before gently pulling me back to him and wrapping his arms around my body,

"Not bad" I smiled

"Just a move I saw in a movie but it was a long time ago" Kieran answered

We spent hours dancing to various songs. If I had to, I would admit it, I was having fun here with him. Kieran seemed to be able to pick this up very quickly and easily. If I hadn't known him, I would have thought he was a professional dancer of some sort. During a twirl, Kieran and I managed to get our feet tangled up and I ended up falling but Kieran caught me before I could even hit the ground. I instantly wrapped my arms around him. Yet again, I found myself staring deeply into Kieran's dark brown eyes.

"Maybe we should take a little break from all this dancing for a bit" Kieran suggested.

I nodded in response. I really wanted to kiss him again, just once to feel his lips on mine. Kieran helped me back to the chair, leaving the music to play on in the background.

"Wow, if I didn't know you, I'd think you were a professional dancer" I joked

"I'm a fast learner" Kieran shrugged

"How is your sister, Sophie getting on ? I've only met her once but she seems nice" I asked

"She's good, she's at school a lot at the moment as she has some exams coming up so she will need to study for them. I know what she said to you" Kieran replied

"She wasn't nasty about anything, she only asked me not to hurt you anymore than you had been" I tried to defend Sophie

"I'm meant to be the protective one, I'm the older brother and future Alpha of this pack" Kieran groaned

"I'm sure you'll get your chance to be that protective big brother one day" I smiled

"Hungry ?" Kieran asked as he opened the picnic basket

"Yes, what have you got in there ?" I asked eager to find out

*******************************************************************

It was now way later on in the evening, Kieran and I hadn't even been disturbed once since we came out here this morning.

"Well we should get ready to head back in soon, maybe we can talk about making plans for our upcoming event" Kieran suggested

"Can we have one more dance under the stars please ?" I asked hoping Kieran would

"Okay but just promise not to fall or break a leg on me" Kieran said as he stood up from his chair

I smiled and stood up before taking Kieran's hand and walking back over to where we were dancing earlier. This time, we ended up dancing along to Savage Garden - Truly Madly Deeply. I stood close to Kieran, my arms wrapped around his neck, Kieran's arms wrapped around my waist and back.

"I'm gutted about Sarah rejecting me the way she did but in a way I'm glad because now I've got you, I didn't even think I'd ever get to be this lucky" Kieran said out of nowhere

"I'm glad I'm here with you too" I admitted to him

Kieran looked down into my arms as we moved slowly to the music.

"Promise to be mine forever. Never leave me" Kieran asked with a pleading voice

I looked into his dark brown eyes again for the second time.

"I promise" I told him honestly

We slowly closed the small space between us and our lips instantly connected. Kieran was a great kisser but he was also very gentle.

"Mark me here" I asked

"Are you sure ?" Kieran asked, I could hear the concern in his tone

"I'm sure" I told him as I moved my hair out the way

Kieran slowly kissed my neck before finding the right spot. Once he found it, he slowly bit into my skin with his canines. I hissed at the discomfort I felt and held on tighter to Kieran until he finished. When he pulled away, he quickly cleaned his mouth to get rid of my blood which was around his lips.

"Are you okay ?" Kieran asked, looking at me with concern

"I'm fine" I struggled to get my words out, the place felt like it was spinning, I felt myself losing my balance before falling. Suddenly everything went black.

The last thing I remember was Kieran's concerned voice calling my name in a panic.
