“I don’t know for certain, but I think they might be.”
“Why? What do they want?”
“I don’t know yet.” I answered her honestly, angry that I didn’t have the answers.
“What would rejecting and hating me do to help me, how would it protect me?”
“I thought if I distanced myself from you more, then I wouldn’t have to worry about them targeting you. I thought it would be an added way to save you.”
“But that clearly would never work if we had to pretend to be a perfect match in public.”
“Yeah, I know that now.”
“Were there any other reasons?” She asked knowingly.
“I was afraid.” I wanted to look away, to stare anywhere but at her eyes so filled with pain.
“Of me?” She sounded incredulous.
“Of getting hurt. Of hurting my pack. Of getting too close.” I sighed. “Take your pick.”
“Why did you think so little of me?” I heard the pain in her voice.
“It wasn’t you personally. I thought little of every woman.”
“Why?”
“I’ve had women try to use me. To try to gain status, power, wealth, whatever it is I can provide for them they have tried getting it from me by manipulation.”
“And you thought I would be just like them?” She was angered by this.
“I’m sorry, Little Bunny, it was before I knew you.”
“That’s right.” She yelled at me. “You decided all this on your own without knowing a single thing about me, except you did have my cousin to talk to. I know he didn’t tell you that I was some harlot that would try to manipulate you.”
“No, he told me you were sweet, kind, funny, caring, and basically the best person ever.” She kept snapping and yelling at me, and I just answered dejectedly.
“And you didn’t believe him.”
“He was your family. I just thought that women didn’t show that side of themselves to their family. But I should have listened to him. You’re not like any other woman that I’ve ever met.”
“I’d hope not, because no one else has ever mated with you.” She joked. It finally felt like this might all get better, eventually.
“I should have trusted the bond, but I was stupid. Please, forgive me.” I pleaded with her again as I watched her face for clues to what she might be thinking. Her face was blank though, and I was a nervous wreck.
“Fine, you wanted to start over, like everything we had said didn’t matter. I’m assuming that this was the reason. You wanted me to forget about you saying those things to me, right?”
“Yes, I did.” I was hopeful after she spoke.
“We can pretend that it never happened, if you promise to never behave like that ever again.”
“I promise, I won’t ever push you away again.”
“Then I will give you a trial period and see how things go.” I felt everything crumble. I was so elated when she said we could move beyond it all, now she said it was a trial period.
“I’ll never do it again.” I promised her.
“I hope not.” She didn’t sound happy, but at least she wasn’t done with me. This was a step in the right direction. Wasn’t it?

Things were going great lately. I honestly couldn’t complain. We were almost done setting up for our daycare. We had chosen a few rooms on the second floor to use for playrooms and nap rooms. Everything had finally been delivered, and we had a lot of interested moms and dads who could use a break from time to time.
I had included a weekend day in our initial plan so that people could have a date day. For these families with little ones constantly around, if they didn’t have a reliable sitter to use then they never got to go out, day or night. So, I knew that a lot of people would take advantage of the offer.
Our first official day of business was going to be in just over a week. We hadn’t expected everything to be delivered so soon so we had told everyone that the first day would be in February. We had just ten days now, but before all that I had my first day of the new semester on Monday and then my birthday was on Thursday the 28th, which just so happened to be the day of the full moon this year.
The last time my birthday was on the full moon was when I turned one, so I was too young for it to matter to me. It shouldn’t matter to me now since I couldn’t attend the pack event, but it was still exciting for me.
