Chapter Three

                                    

                                          
"So I mean, what are you going to do Nat. You have to tell him." Amber said as we walked out of Burger King that afternoon. 
                          
"I don't know Amber. I can't just tell him I mean he'll reject me. If you haven't noticed I'm part of the center of his rage. I'm Luke Dagger's daughter. The man that gave the order which resulted in her death which makes me the target to kill." I said as we slid into my Impala and put our drinks in the cup hoarders. 
                          
"But. If you get that first connection made then he will always be more aware and always looking for you because he'll know." 
                          
The first connection was touch. When your mate touches you, you'll get tingles all throughout your body but heat added to the place he or she touched. It's like a first bound just not intimate like the other for bounds which were a kiss which made the touch so much strong, the mark so everyone knows your his, and a third that is normally used to be sure but howling together. It sort of ensures you belong together after the touch because your howls will mix. They will mix with or without the touch though. Then there is the actual mating. After that you are bound together for the rest of you lives and after. You belong to each other. 
                          
"Well how am I going to make that happen when he just wants to kill me all the time and I have to touch skin. He always wears that jacket." Amber started thinking as we pulled out onto the road and started driving back to our territory. 
                          
"Wear that strapless too red dress and black van tomorrow. Keep your hair down but behind you and not really on your shoulder. We will get that touch made because I'll have some of our guys go and harass them right as we walk by. I'll make sure you are close enough for him to touch and have one of the guys push him hard enough he stumbles forward and uses you to steady him self."
                          
"I don't know if that will work Amber." I said as we stopped at a stop light. 
                          
"Can we just try it? Please like I'll even tell Skunk the plan if you want." I just eyed her as we turned and start heading towards home. 
                          
"Why would you tell Skunk of all people?" Amber just blushed. 
                          
"We are in the same situation as you and Dimitri. We just know though and except it." I bursted out laughing at her. 
                          
"Well isn't this great news." Amber just reached over and pushed me as I pulled the Impala to a stop behind pack patrol cars and one of our pack ambulances.
                          
"What's going on?" Amber asked as we stepped out of the car. That's when I caught sight of Dimitri and his father and mother. Skunk just said back with their new recruits. My mother and brother stood slightly back comforting the family of Gabriela while my father and Alpha Darkwood continued arguing.
                          
"She was coming home from soccer practice in wolf form on the road." My father yelled. That's when I saw the body bag and gasped. Tears streamed Amber's face. Gabriela was a close friend of both of ours and her cousin. 
                          
"But my son didn't know this and didn't mean to kill her." Alpha Darkwood countered. I could see both their eyes turning black, signaling a change and bolted towards my dad as Skunk bolted for Alpha Darkwood. 
                          
"Dad don't." Jackson growled, reaching our father just as I did and pushing him towards the parked black SUV. 
                          
"Dad let it go. You are already in violation of the treaty because of the recruits and they are on the road. Don't start something else." Skunk growled. 
                          
"Dad get in the car and let's just go home." I pleaded. My dad just stormed away and got in the car as my mother and Jackson gathered Gabriela's family. Amber and I ran back to my car and got in before joining the convoy home. Dimitri's eyes pierced at us before I heard him shift and a lone howl of remorse fill the air.
