Tough Choices

We knew that we had to talk to my parents and Alpha Brian because we were way to hound to make these types of choices ourselves. Once I got to the training grounds after my run I found my father waiting with Alpha Brian: Alpha good morning, good morning dad I was wondering if I could ask to meet with the both of you and mom of course after training is done." To which they both agreed and of course I could tell I had them both very confused but they didn't ask. Truthfully I didn't want anyone to overhear what I was going through my mind it was bad enough that Aurora was pissed at me for even thinking of letting Cassia leave but until I turn sixteen I have no say over what my mates Alpha decides. The thought of her leaving makes me feel sick to my stomach which Aurora pacing back and forth doesn't help one bit. After training I ran back to the pack house so that I could take a shower to which Cassia was waiting in my room for me. As soon as I walked through the door her smile brightened up my whole world. I grabbed some clean clothes and gave her a small but sweet kiss on the lips then ran to the bathroom for a shower. I took her by the hand and slowly made our way to my father's office thankfully everyone was already there waiting.

I knocked on the door before entering it's only polite after all and I have more respect for my father then what most teenagers do. I let go of Cassia's hand so that I could open the door for us all three of them looked at us and watched as we walked to the couch in front of my father's desk. I began before anyone had a chance to ask why I wanted to talk: Mom, dad, and Alpha Brian I am so very sorry to interrupt you this afternoon but we need your help with something. I know I have been acting really unusual but I have a really good reason for this. The day of the attack after Cassia helped me to my room I fell asleep only to wake up by myself. I decided I would go look for her so I followed her scent to your office and I overheard part of your conversation. I know that Cassia is my mate and it confused me how she was able to tell the first day she met me and I have to wait until I turn sixteen to feel the mate bond. I was pushing Cassia away because I was scared of my own feelings about this along with the fact of me fighting weather it was true or not. What we need help with is what do we do now that I know the truth is Cassia to go back to her pack or will she be allowed to stay her with my but have her own room. This is up to the adults because we are way to young to chose for ourselves. I understand if she is to go back to her pack it may hurt but we won't fight your decision." They all looked at each other like I had turned into someone or something they didn't recognize.

After that we excused ourselves so that they could talk amongst themselves. We went to the kitchen so I could grab something small to eat because I still felt slightly nauseous from stressing about Cassia possibly having to leave me. As we sat there while I ate a sandwich my heart was racing I didn't want her to leave but I knew it would be for the best if that is what they choose. After about an hour we were called back into my fathers office. I knew it wasn't what I was hoping for just by the looks on their faces: Ok so the fact is you are both to young to live under the same roof because with how strong the bond is between you that it could cause your heat cycle to happen way to soon so with that said Cassia will be going back to her pack for now but is always welcome to come visit from time to time. As soon as you turn sixteen she can move into the pack house to which you can mark each other but the mating process will not be completed until you turn eighteen." We both understood and agreed to the terms that were given to us unfortunately we only had one more full day to spend together so I decided that I would take the day off of training because I wanted to take her to my special place the only place that calms me down when I'm stressed or sad.

The very next day I let Drew my father's Beta know that I was skipping training for the day and that I would pick up the following day. I went to the kitchen and packed a picnic real food for myself and a couple pints of blood for Cassia to which I put in a cooler so that it would stay cold until she was ready to drink it. We spent the morning watching tv but as soon as it was almost noon I took a shower and put some shorts and a nice shirt on grabbed my favorite pair of shoes then went downstairs to pack everything into the basket. Once ready I went and got Cassia and told her that I had a surprise for her. Once we got to the tree line we made our way to the pond where I first shifted I figured it was time to finally tell her the truth Aurora agreed with me but she needed to promise not to tell anyone. Thankfully since she is a vampire Alpha Brian can't use his Alpha command on her. Once there I put a blanket down for us to sit on took her by the hand and said "I have something important to tell you."
