Liams Pov:
When Violet got released out of the hospital I didn’t know what to expect. I didn’t know if we would be enemies or if we would be friend. I knew her accepting me as her mate wasn’t an option but at this point my wolf needed her and I would take what I could get. I usually try to leave for school before them to avoid contact but today I decided to wait around. Sure enough about 20 min after I usually would have left Violet comes down wearing ripped jeans, a tank top and a cardigan to go with it. I watched as she grabbed a banana and was heading towards the door to go to the driver.
“Hey!” I said maybe a smidge too eager because I saw her jump back. Looking like I’ve cornered her she took a step back.
“Oh um hey? What are you still doing here?”
I stood up and grabbed my stuff.
“I was wondering if I could drive you to school?” She was looking around the room like she didn’t know what to say.
“ Liam I...” I cut her off before she could reject me.
“I’ll let you drive.” I saw her face light up and her eyes get that beautiful twinkle.
She quickly grabbed her bag and we jumped into my brand new Jeep. It was nice out so I had the roof and door off. She threw he bag to me and grabbed the keys jumping in.
“Buckle up!!” I couldn’t decide if she was caring about me or giving me a warning. Either way I had just clicked the buckle when she took off like a race car drive and then abruptly slamming on the brakes.
“Geez woman! I would like to make it to school alive!” She gave me a Coy smile.
“Aweee is My Liam afraid?” She threw her hair back without a care in the world. Effortless beauty.
Wait did she just say mine?
I’m pretty sure she said mine?
“Dude don’t fan girl on me. Be cool!” I heard my wolf growl. He really hasn’t been talking to me much since the whole incident happened. It has gotten bad enough where I have only shifted a couple of times.
I let Vi have a couple more goes before she almost ran over a mail box leaving me to take control or we would never make it to school.
As we pulled up in the parking lot I saw eyes were turning on us. I didn’t mind because i was with my mate and she was all that mattered but then the thought hit me.
How would she deal with the attention?
Just as expected once she heard the whispers of us she put as much space as she could between us. My wolf whimpered at the sense of rejection. I needed her to forgive me.

Most of the day had been lame. I was almost ready to skip the last class but then I remembered that I might have chance to take her home and that was all that was keeping me here. When the last bell ran I headed to my locker only to find Colton standing there.
“To what do I owe the pleasure.” I was a little dumbfound since he has all joined the Ice Liam our band wagon.
“You got a second to talk?” I started looking around the hallway to see if Violet was around. Once I realized she wasn’t in sit I nodded.
“Okay, talk.”
He ran his hair thru his hair and sighed.
“ there is a lot of pressure on the next couple games and scouts are coming.”
“Ok what does it matter about the scouts? You’re going to become king? You don’t need to worry about that stuff.”
“I know man but some of the guys do. Besides I want to keep the tradition of winning like our fathers did.”
I was still kinda confused “on so what does that have to do with me?”
Colton pushed off from my locker “ we need you back.”
This was comical. They kicked me off and removed me from being captain only to ask for me back?
“Pass”
I saw Violet at the front door so I decided to make my way to see if I could catch her before she left.
“Liam please. Look I’m sorry please “ I stopped in my tracks. I knew that he had been trying to make amends with me little by little , and if I was being honest with myself I missed my best friend as well.
I sighed and turned to face him.
“Fine but I’m not coming today now I have some place to be.”
Colton gave me a devilish grin “ go get her man. By the way we still need to have the big brother chat about me beating you ass of you hurt her.”
I turned back towards the door and quickened my pace while hollering back “ you’re only older by 5 min”
I made it just in time to see Violet heading to the parking lot.
“VIOLET” I hollered.
It wasn’t loud enough to get everyone’s attention but it definitely got the people standing next to her to giggle.
As I got closer her and Marie were looking at me . I tried my best to clear my throat and find words. Which was proving to be impossible since my heart was racing at the sight of her.
“Guys I’ll catch up with you later.” Luckily I didn’t have to because as she waved her friends off I still hadn’t found words. She grabbed her bag and headed to my Jeep and climbed in. When she realized I hadn’t moved she turned and looked at me.
“If you don’t hurry up I’m going to drive again” a near death experience was all I needed to snap me back to reality as I quickly fiddled in pocket looking for my keys climbing in the driver seat.
We didn’t say much on the car ride back but I did let her control the music. I decided this was my chance so instead of taking her home I took her to a diner we used to frequent.
“I thought we were going home?” She looked confused.
“I will be right back.” I ducked in the diner before she could say anything else. After about 10 min I returned with 2 large fries and some milkshakes.
We drove a little further until we came to a beach where I parked the car so we could watch the waves.
“I know your favorite change based off your day so I didn’t know if it was a strawberry or a cotton candy day.” One thing Violet has always been big about was her icecream. Just like her mom. She had a flavor to match every mood. When she was having an amazing day she would get cotton candy. When she was having a good day she would get strawberry, and if she was having a bad day she would get chocolate. Those were just the basics. If she had amazing news she would get mint and if she was angry she would get pecan.
The flavor I was truly hoping for was strawberry cheesecake.
That meant that she was in love. We only saw if a few times when she got a crush on our mail man when she was 5. Or the time she thought she was going to marry Justin Bieber when she was 8. Her latest was her first boyfriend Ben last year. The thought of him made my skin boil. I didn’t like that she fell I love with him.
One night she came home crying when Colton and I were playing video game. He shirt was ripped and she was clearly rattled. Colton and I spent hours trying to get her to talk about it but she refused. That’s when the Luna told us to leave it be and no one ever talked about it again.Seeing how she avoided Ben after that and ate chocolate icecream for 2 weeks we knew they broke up. However we still don’t know why.
I was brought out of my thoughts when Vi spoke up “strawberry please”
So today was a good day.
I’ll take it.
We spent the next hour making small talk. I knew we wouldn’t fix thing right away but atleast we were making a step in the right direction.
I was happy I made her laugh a couple of times. I loved her smile. I was looking over at her when I noticed she had some icecream on the corner of her mouth.
“What are you staring at?” She began blushing .
“Oh uhm you have something....” I pointed at my mouth and she was about to wipe it off but on instinct I reached my finger out and wiped it for her licking my thumb afterwards.
Just by this simple action I could tell that her breathing changed. I moved my hand back up and caressed her cheek. When I could tell she was about to pull away I leaned in and closed the gap between us by connecting out lip.
Her kisses we like a drug I could get enough of. I felt like I could get off right here just by kissing her. She started running her hands through my hair letting me grip her tighter. I knew we were horny teenagers but I have never felt anything like this before. My d**k was building so bad I thought I might break through my pants. I broke the kiss leaving her plump lips and a confused look on her face.
“Liam I...” I stopped her before this moment was ruined.
“Please don’t.... just don’t say anything to ruin this... regret might set in for you but this was the happiest moment I’ve had in a long time... so please just don’t.”
I didn’t want to look at her in fear that her face was going to have anything except a smile. To my surprise I felt her warm hand brush over mine.
“Let’s head home” I nodded and let us drive home In Silence.
When we got back at the pack house I saw that Liza was in the kitchen baking cookies.
That woman had a sweet tooth like I’ve never seen. She put a tray of cookies on the counter and finally noticed we walked In room.
“Well aren’t you two running late. Would you like some cookies?” I was waiting for Violet to say something. I had just gotten back to speaking terms with her so I didn’t want to overstay my welcome by her side.
“That’s ok Liam just took me for an icecream date.”
did she just say date?
She thought this was a date?
My wolf was going crazy with glee. I have never seen him so happy.
“Ahhhh what flavor did you get.” We set our stuff down and moved closer to Liza.
“Strawberry.” She shrugged but Liza just laughed.
“Ahhh so today was a good day.”
Violet and I both looked at eachother in shock “how did you...?” Just as she was finishing that statement one of her dads walked in. Zeke had been gone for a couple weeks but he must’ve gotten back this morning.
Our attention went back to Liza.” What’s the flavor for an amazing day?”
With how long she took to respond I never thought Violet was going to find the words.
“Cotton Candy” she finally got out.
“MINE TOO. But I like it with...”
“Oreos and gummie bears” Violet finished her sentence for her.
“With a bowl of cherries on the side.” She replied while popping a piece of cookie in her mouth. Violet didn’t say anything else but she did run to Liza for a hug. I looked over at Zeke who looked just as shocked.
“Did you enjoy you trip Alpha?” Liza looked at Zeke pulling both of us back.
“Oh yea if went smoothly.” Liza gave him a smile. I don’t know what was going between them but you could definitely feel the air shift.
“Well why don’t you guys get changed I have a game we are going to play. Meet me in the yard in 15.”
A game?
What does she have planned?
