Kieran stood there, in front of me. The shock of what I had previously said was written all over his face. The only comforting thing was that he still had his arms wrapped around me. 

"Felicity, you need time to consider my offer, don't just rush to answer me or feel pressured" Kieran said looking deeply into my eyes. 

"I'm not rushing my decision or feeling pressured. I'm sick and tired of feeling broken, upset, hurt plus other horrible emotions when I think of Jamie. When I'm with you I feel.... I don't know" I paused for a moment to think.

"Different" I finally said

"A good different or a bad different?" Kieran asked curiously

"Good, I mean I don't feel like I'm in any kind of danger here. Technically I was a rogue when you found me, yet you still brought me here knowing I wasn't a threat to you or your pack" I explained. 

I looked at Kieran and saw a faint smile appear on his soft pink lips. 

"What? Did I say something funny?" I asked him confused

"Well, you are correct, about being a rogue I mean, you did secretly leave your pack, which was understandable given the circumstances, but you were also right about what you said about not being a threat" Kieran said.

"Look, it's late just now let's get some sleep and we will talk about this properly tomorrow" Kieran added.

Normally I would protest and put up a fight, but I was tired, and Kieran was right, it was getting late. I nodded and got into Kieran's bed. It was so much more comfortable than the bed down in the infirmary. I got comfy and lay on my side facing towards Kieran. 

"Comfy and cosy enough there?" Kieran asked with a smile

"Hmm this definitely does beat the infirmary bed" I joked

"You can move in closer you know" Kieran said. 

I stayed where I was wondering if I should move closer to Kieran, however, the option was taken from me when I felt Kieran's strong arms wrap around me and pull me closer to him. Kieran began to rub circles on my back which did help me to relax and drift off to sleep. 

I woke up next morning, but Kieran was gone, I could hear the water running in the shower coming from the ensuite in Kieran's room. I looked at the clock but saw that it was still early. I saw Kieran's t shirt on the bed, I quickly grabbed it and held it close to me for comfort. I closed my eyes wanting to fall asleep. No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't seem to fall back asleep, so I just stayed where I was under the covers. The water switched off about fifteen or twenty minutes later and Kieran walked out the ensuite and back into his room. I opened my eyes to look over but was shocked. Kieran only had a bath towel wrapped around his waist. The water was still dripped down his body. 

"Enjoying the view there?" Kieran asked without looking at me, but I could tell he had his trademark smirk on as he asked that.

"There isn't really much to look at out there it's all trees" I said tearing my gaze off Kieran.

"Funny. We both know I wasn't talking about outside; I was talking about the view inside" Kieran said looking at me.

I went all quiet suddenly feeling extremely embarrassed and shy. 

"Did you sleep well?" Kieran asked as he walked over towards me.

"I did, your bed is much more comfortable to sleep in compared to the bed downstairs in the infirmary. Not that I want to sound ungrateful to you or Dr Wilson" I said.

Kieran laughed before he went off to get dressed. I still didn't have any clothes of my own here and I didn't want to keep borrowing clothes from the other girls or females here. Nothing against them it's just I preferred having my own clothes. 

After we both had breakfast, Kieran insisted I went out a walk with him so we could talk in private. I knew what he wanted to talk about, but I know I have already made my mind up and I am determined to stick to my decision. Kieran held my hand as we walked to our unknown destination, well, it was unknown to me but I'm pretty sure Kieran knew where we were going. We came out of the woods and came out into an opening. There was grass everywhere. I'm sure in the Spring or Summer this place would look beautiful with different flowers. 

Kieran walked a little further up were there was a few rocks to sit on. Kieran motioned for me to sit down. I gave him a quizzical look wondering if it was safe to sit. 

"It's okay, they're safe I sit out here on them a lot" Kieran told me

"It's very peaceful and quiet out here, are we still on your land?" I asked looking around

"Relax Felicity this is still my land" Kieran said as he sat down next to me.

"You're going to convince me that I need more time to think about your offer and my answer I gave you" I said getting straight to the point

"I just want you to take time and properly think about it. Make sure it's something you really do want because you won't be able to change your mind once it's done" Kieran said in a calm voice. I knew he was trying to be serious but also calm at the same time. 

"I have been thinking about it a lot. I'm not stupid I do know that once you bite me and claim me then when we mate, I can't change my mind. Believe me I wouldn't do that. Not to you anyway, Kieran you have been so good and kind to me lately. You've shown me so much affection that no one else ever has" I told him

"Maybe we should just focus on still getting to know each other, I mean we hardly know each other" Kieran pointed out

"Well, we did start to get to know each other when I was in the infirmary, and we've also kissed a few times" I said feeling a slight embarrassment when mentioning us kissing.

"You know, if I do bite you and claim you, my wolf will push for me to mate with you. From the moment you agree to be mine I will continue to show you affection and I will worship you, cherish you, love you, protect you until the ends of time" Kieran said looking deeply into my eyes.

I stared back at him, into his dark brown eyes for a few moments. I moved over to Kieran, so I was closer to him. I placed my hands on both sides of his face, so I was holding his face in my hands. I moved in closer and connected our lips. The kiss got very heated. Kieran wrapped his arms around me. We stopped and both of us gasped for breath. 

"My answer is still yes" I told him, looking into his eyes, still holding his beautiful face in my hands. 

Kieran nodded in response before pulling me in close to him again and connecting our lips. 

"When do you want me to mark you and claim you?" Kieran asked

"I don't know but I would love it if you could make it soon" I replied

"Let's see how you're feeling in a few days and if you're feeling better after everything else and we can also ask Dr Wilson for advice when he thinks would be best" Kieran suggested.

"Okay" I smiled

After our little chat, we spent a few more hours cuddled up on the rock. It was nice to talk and then enjoy some peace and quiet. We soon headed back but rather than walk hand in hand, I wrapped my arm around the bottom of Kieran's back. I blushed a few times as some of the pack members saw us. They all nodded to Kieran and addressed him. 

"How or what do we tell your pack?" I asked him

"We will tell them together at a meeting but ask them to keep it quiet from other packs. This will also soon be your pack so it will be our pack not just mine" Kieran said

"Kieran, is there any way I can get some clothes of my own? I mean I appreciate the others letting me borrow some of their clothes but I'd still rather like and prefer to have my own" I said hoping he'd allow me to go shopping.

"Well, I have that sorted so don't worry" Kieran answered looking straight ahead towards the pack house.

"What do you mean?" I asked him confused

"You'll soon see" Kieran said with a smirk not giving anything away.

When we got back inside, I wanted to go upstairs but Kieran said his room was off limits for a few hours. He did agree to let me go sit in the library and read for a bit. He said he'd come and find me when he was ready. I had already taken my shoes off at the front door, I still had one of Kieran's hoodies on but I'm not complaining it was rather cosy and smelt of him which was comforting me a lot. I picked a book and got comfy on the sofa. 

It must have been about three or four hours later; I had already finished my book, but I didn't want to start another one in case Kieran sent for me. I suddenly remembered that I haven't seen or even looked at my phone since I woke up in the infirmary. I suddenly wondered about my parents and if they found my letter. They must be so worried. 

I was pulled from my thoughts as the door opened and Kieran walked in. 

"You okay there? Ready to go up and see your surprise?" Kieran asked

This caught me off guard. What surprise was he talking about?

"What surprise?" I asked him confused

"You'll soon see" He smiled

I walked over to Kieran about to walk past him, but he wouldn't let me pass. I gave him a confused look. 

"Not before this goes on" Kieran said as he pulled out a blind fold

"Seriously?" I asked shocked. He couldn't really be serious, could he? 

"Yes. Come on now, turn around" Kieran instructed

"How am I meant to see or know where I'm going?" I asked as I turned around and closed my eyes

"Don't worry, I'll be here" Kieran said as he placed the blind fold over my eyes and tied it at the back

I waited for him to help guide me to where it was, we were going. Instead, I felt myself being lift up and placed over what I can only assume is Kieran's shoulder.

"Kieran what are you doing?" I asked

"Relax. Trust me this way is much easier" Kieran replied as he began walking with me over his shoulder.

"Don't blame me if you're in any pain with your shoulder after this" I said

"What are you talking about? I work out a lot and have strong muscles plus you are very light, no weight to you at all" Kieran answered.

Kieran walked up to his room with me over his shoulder. He suddenly stopped and put me down then took off the blind fold. I rubbed my eyes until my vision became clear again. I looked around and saw that we were stood outside his room. 

"Ready?" Kieran asked holding his hand out to me. 

"Yes" I answered, placing my hand in his. 

Kieran opened his bedroom door and walked me in. I looked around but nothing really seemed to be different. 

"Go look over there in the walk-in closet next to my closet" Kieran instructed. 

I walked over to the walk-in closet and opened it. My mouth fell open and I'm sure my jaw was going to fall off. The whole closet was filled with clothes of my size and style. 

"How?" I asked turning to Kieran

"I had a few of my female pack members go and get you some clothes and shoes plus a few other bits and pieces in for you, a few members put this together today while we were out" Kieran answered.

I looked from Kieran back to the closet now full of clothes for me in bewilderment. I couldn't believe he had actually thought of this and done all this for me. 

"Is this okay for you? Your kind of the first girl that I've ever really done anything like this for" Kieran asked as he closed the bedroom door and walked into the room.

I looked at him shocked. I was the first girl he's done something like this for? 

"I haven't really had anyone that I've needed to be romantic for" Kieran explained.

I walked over to Kieran and stood in front of him. I took both his hands in mine before I looked up into his eyes. 

"Thank you so much. I really do love all those clothes and footwear you got for me, and I appreciate what you've done for me. It means so much to me" I told him.

"You really are sure about everything we spoke about earlier?" Kieran asked

"Yes, I told you" I replied

"You still need to do one more thing before I mark you" Kieran said 

I gave him a confused look. 

"You need to contact your parents and let them know" Kieran answered

"Kieran, I can't talk to them. Not just yet, I have thought about them a lot but when I think of my old home it still hurts so much" I tried to explain to them.

"Well, I sent them a letter, asking them both politely to come over for a visit so we can speak to them together and let them know our plans" Kieran told me.

"Okay" I smiled

Kieran looked at me quizzically for a brief moment.

"Together" I smiled. 

Kieran smiled before leaning down and placing his lips on my own ones. 

This man has already done so much for me, how am I ever going to repay him? Apart from becoming his mate and Luna. Kieran is just so full of surprises.
