Today is Stella's and Skye's graduation ceremony and we were getting ready, because after the graduation there will be a small dance that will be held in the school's gym. So, I'm in my room, dressing up for her. For my beautiful mate. I talked with Cody and he informed me that he was done dressing up. Am I too slow? or he's just too fast?

' Our werewolf mate... Did you expect it to happen? That she'd shift like that?' Peter suddenly asked while I fixing my stupid black tie. I don't wear ties... it was hard.

' No, never. I didn't smell her wolf, the abuse must have been too tough that it made her hide away from us. But I'm glad that she shifted. Aren't you? ' I replied in an angry tone because of her bastard brother. Raymond will pay for everything he had done to Stella, the next time I see him, he'll be dead.

' Yeah, anyway... You suck at tying ties.' he commented and I swear, I heard his grin in his tone. I just rolled my eyes with a small huff.

' No shit. ' I said then blocked him out. I got out of my room, I rubbed my black suit and headed to Stella's room. I knocked on the door and waited.

I so was eager to see her. Seconds later, I heard the softest voice that said 'come in' soon after, I did.

I enter the room to see a beautiful angel standing before my eyes. Mine. I blinked twice to make sure that she was there. That I was not dreaming of this wonderful creature.

" Hey " She greeted in a low tone that pulled me in to her effortlessly. She was absolutely stunning and gorgeous. She was my perfect girl.

I studied her outfit closely then growled uncontrollably. She wore a V neck crimson short dress that reached above her knees. It had sleeves that reached down her elbows, that dress was revealing, which showed a bit of her cleavage. She was too beautiful for the world. I didn't mind seeing her like that at all. I just didn't want any other guys to see her like this.

Before I could comment, she beat me to it. " I know that the dress it too revealing, it wasn't my choice I swear. It was Skye's, she begged me to wear it. I'm so sorry. " She reasoned and I couldn't help but to kiss her light pink lips. It was a sweet fast kiss that made me crave for more.

I looked into her dazzling eyes and smiled. " I know, but can't you wear something on it? Like a jacket maybe? " I asked in hopes she'd say yes.

I hugged her like she was a teddy bear that was so fluffy and warm and was about to run away. " Julian, I can't breath. " she breathed out then gently slapped my back. I let go of her almost instantly.

With worry eyes I apologized." Sorry "

" It's okay, and yes I do have a jacket that can match up with my dress, just a second. " she cleared and went to her wardrobe.

I walked to her bed and sat on it. She came back a minute later with a black suede jacket that matched her black high heels. That's more like it.

' I agree ' Peter said.

" How is it? " She asked while standing in front of me.

I nodded, feeling content. " I love it, you look beautiful. " I replied then pulled her to bed with me then she was laying on top of me.

My sudden action caused he cheeks to turn red and I couldn't help but to laugh. " When we should be there? " I asked then kissed her cheek.

She looked at the watch that was on the wall. " Um-ah in about 30 minutes or so. Why you ask? " she replied with arched eyebrows that made her look extra cute.

I smirked. " Enough time for me to cuddle. " I pointed out and flipped us over so I was laying on top of her, but not laying my full weight on her small body.

' Yeah, she'd die.' Peter pointed out sarcastically but I ignored him to enjoy the moment with Dianna - Stella's wolf.

" Why is your tie like this? " Stella asked with a giggle.

" Oh yeah, I forgot about it. Could you fix it for me when I finish cuddling with you? " I asked.

" Sure, and Julian..." she trailed off and I nodded.

" Yeah, love? "

" Thank you " she said out of the blue.

It took me off guard so I raised my eyebrows, confused. " For what? " I asked.

" For being here, with me. For accepting me. For loving me. Thank you. " she explained and I felt like the happiest man alive. I picked her lips slowly, which lasted for a long time then had to part our lips from each other to catch our breaths.

" You're welcome love, and thank you for accepting me and loving me. " I replied and nuzzled my nose in her neck, I inhaled her scent. It was so good that I wanted to make her mine, fully mine. Yet I couldn't push my boundaries. I had to wait for her.

Whenever she's ready.

She wrapped her arms around my neck and inhaled softly. It was soothing to hear her relief.

" Julian... We should go " she said after I last kissed her lips.

I sighed. " Yeah, but I'd rather stay here, with you. " I replied like a four years old who doesn't want to get out of bed.

" Me too, but I kinda have to go." she said then looked at my tie. " But we need to fix that tie of yours first. " She laughed and I nodded, then we got out of the bed. She did what I requested perfectly.

Afterwards, I received a message from Cody letting us know that they were waiting for us to come and pick them up.

" Shall we go my lady? " I pulled my hand and linked it with hers.

" We shall. " she replied and we headed out of the door.
