Owen's P.O.V.

"Oh! I can't wait to see that villa from the inside. Let me tell you I'm going shopping right after I get off work. We have only two weeks to prepare for the ball." There were two news anchors, one man, and one woman. They both were discussing about the ball that alpha aka Jason is throwing at his new villa.

Today around ten in the morning, Jason did a press conference inviting the entire pack to the ball and he also informed us that they have already sent the invitations to our other packs with whom we have alliances.

"And we have been reported that people have already started crowding the shops and shopping centers around the town." The male anchor said.

"Of course, they have. I just hope not all of the good accessories and dresses are sold before I get off the work." The female anchor said jokingly.

"What did I say! HA!" Hailey said as soon as she came back home. It's four in the afternoon and I think she hurried back from the school just to mock us. She hurriedly took a seat next to me.

"Ya! Ya! Never underestimate the power of the high school girl's gossip group." I was being sarcastic.

"So! Have you decided what you're gonna wear to the ball?" she asked holding my hand.

"No." I don't know why everyone is behaving like this. We have two weeks to get ready. Two whole weeks. "You know we have two weeks, right?"

"Exactly my point. We just have two weeks." She twisted my words. She's evil.

"And since when do you like balls?" as far as I know there's nothing for Hailey to be excited about.

"I know it's that stupid Jason, but he also invited other packs. What if... What if my mate is there?" her eyes sparkled.

"Wow! You're delusional." I replied jokingly and she hit me in the abdominal with her elbow. "Hey!" she ignored me and went to her room.

"Shut up, Party pooper." She slammed the door shut.

I was not thinking about the ball much because I have something else to worry about. I have a date with Jason today and I have to tell him about Australia. No matter what.

I watched TV for a while because I had nothing to do. It's 5:30 and I need to get ready. I went to my room. I cleaned up and was standing in front of my closet deciding what to wear. I have so many clothes but none is appealing to me. Also, Jason did not say anything about where he was going to take me, so I don't know what kind of clothes I should wear.

Finally, I decided to wear an Olive-green full sleeve t-shirt and black jeans. It looked good and complimented my skin. Then I opened my drawer to get the watch but I saw a small jewelry box. It was the necklace Jason gave to me. I took it out and reminisced. I opened it and tied it around my neck.

It was almost seven when I got ready. And I heard my phone ring. It was Jason.

"Hey! You're here?" I asked as soon I picked up the phone.

"Yup. I'm waiting in front of Mrs. Stephwell's café."

"I still can't get used to it being the café," I spoke. "Anyway, I'll be there in a couple of minutes. I'm just leaving the house." I added.

"Okay. I'm waiting for you." He said out of nowhere and then ended the call. I was blushing so hard. He can be really cheesy sometimes.

I hurried to the hall. Hailey was watching tv.

"Tell mom, I'll be late. And I'll have diner out."

"Where are you going?" She was suspicious.

"Oh! Just hanging out with some friends." I was sweaty. I did not think of a good reason.

"You have friends here?" she raised one eyebrow.

"You know I've been here for months, right? And I work here. Of course, I have friends." crisis diverted.

"Kay" she replied like she does not care at all. With that, I left.

I walked to the café. It only took a couple of minutes. I saw a black Mercedes standing on the opposite side of the road. I saw Jason waving at me from the driver's seat. And I ran to the car, careful that no one see me. Hurriedly opened the door and sat in the seat next to him.

"HHHHEEEEEYYYY," he said with a big smile. He then leaned in and kissed me. I was a little tense before but as soon as his lips touched mine, I felt all of my nerves calm down. Vlad was going crazy because he saw our mate after a long time. He was playing with my lips with his. He was, massaging them with his tongue. I felt my heart racing so fast it was hurting in my chest.

After a while, we parted but he still was staying very close to me. Our faces were barely apart, I could feel his breath on my cheeks and we were looking into each other's eyes. And then we both smiled a little awkwardly like none of us could believe what just happened. It was like they show in the movies. It felt just like that when the person you love and decide to confess your feelings kiss you before you tell them how you feel.

"Hey" I was chuckling. He was wearing a plain white shirt, he kept one button open and he rolled the sleeves. With that, he was wearing light brown pants and he looked so good. "Um...So where are we going?" I asked.

"You'll know when we are there." He said as he moved to his seat. We both buckled up and he stepped on the gas.

"Hey! That's not fair." I complained. But he just smirked. "PPPPPPPPLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSS" I said with puppy eyes. I was saying from curiosity. But he did not say a word. I saw him blush though and that made me blush too.

We sat in silence for a while and then started talking about various things. Some important, some senseless, and some dumb. He is so good at making jokes. He sometimes does these dumb things that make me laugh so hard and then I follow him and do the same dumb things.

Like just now when his favorite song came up on the radio, he started doing this silly expression and danced with his head. He then started singing at the top of his lungs and he sounded awful. That made me laugh so bad. But when he saw me laughing, he started doing all those things more passionately and that made me laugh even harder. And in the end, I followed him. When the song ended, we both glanced at each other and burst out laughing.

"Oh! Before I forget. Here." He said getting something out of the dashboard. It was a white envelope. I opened it and there was a card inside. It was the invitation to the ball. But it was not printed. Someone wrote it by hand. A white card with silver letters.

"I thought you already invited the entire pack," I said because they said that everyone in the pack is invited.

"Yup."

"And who wrote this card!" I was about to say that whoever wrote it did a really sloppy job. The calligraphy was not good, it was like a beginner wrote it.

"Well, actually I wrote it myself," he said. He is so cute. Good, I didn't criticize the calligraphy.

"Oh, you wrote all the invitations by hand?" I was shocked.

"No... No...Just this one." He was blushing. I don't know why but I felt so happy. "I wanted yours to be personal." He was turning red like a tomato. "You...You liked it?"

"I love it. It's beautiful." I said and I meant every single word. I carefully put the card in my pocket.

We were driving on a road through the woods. And he took a turn on an unpaved path that led into the woods. He stopped when the road ended. It was the middle of the woods we were surrounded by trees. He got out and I too got off. I was a little confused.

"let's go." He said as he grabbed my hand and walked into the woods. I was following him but I could not comprehend what was happening.

"Um, Jason... Where are we going?" I asked.

"You'll know when we are there." He replied with a smile. He looked excited.

"You are not planning to kill me and bury my body somewhere in the woods where no one can find it, right?" I was joking. But he halted and turned to me. He was suddenly serious.

"How can you say that?" He was concerned and looked sad. His mood changed so many times in a few seconds.

"I- I was just joking," I said, I felt bad about that.

"Oh," he said and smiled awkwardly. Then he continued walking, still holding my hand; leading me to I don't know where.

After a few minutes of walking, we were standing in front of a hillock and there was a very old wooden stair leading up.

"Let's go," he said and dragged me to the stairs.

Author's Note:

I think that the chat box of a teenage girl is the fastest news source in the world. Just from where does the secret information come from?

As it turn out Hailey was right all along. THERE IS GOING TO BE A BALL. Let's go. Wait a minute why I still have not received my invitation?

Jason I better get that invitation, or else...

Also, Where are you taking my sweet innocent child. Let me tell you if you tried to do something funny with him...

And what the fuck has Owen decide?

I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. The long awaited date is officially started. I can't wait to see what wonders it holds.

Love you all.
