Episode 3.

It was a white gold charm bracelet. There were five charms. The letter A for my name and N for my last name connected, along with a small wolf, a crown, a simple heart, and a butterfly.

It was beautiful. I just stood there and gasped at it.

"Do you like it?" Charlotte asked nervously. I looked up at her and nodded.

"I love it." I put the jewelry on the table and hugged her.

"It's beautiful."

"It looked better in silver, but..." she trailed off.

I laughed. Silver can hurt werewolves. It won't kill us, but is does burn and weaken us. It sucks that we can't touch something so beautiful. But, I still have silver jewelry. It's just not real. Real silver is absolutely stunning, though.

"It was my idea," Asher stated. I laughed and gave him a hug. Charlotte hit Asher's arm again.

"Don't lie. Your only idea was the letters," she scoffed.

"It was still a good idea!" Asher argued. Everyone laughed. I wrapped my arms around his waist.

"It was a great idea. Thanks, Asher," I said sincerely. Asher grinned.

"Thanks, kiddo," I frowned at the nickname. He laughed.

"Sorry, your still a kid. Legally, you're an adult. But to me, an adult is someone who can go bar-hopping."

"I can go bar-hopping," I stated. It just won't be legal, by human laws.

"That would be illegal. But we are going to go pack-hopping," He said with a smile. Pack-hopping?

"What the hell is pack-hopping?" Dad voiced my thoughts.

"Like bar-hopping, but with packs," Asher said in a duh tone. Everyone just stared at him.

"Going from pack to pack. We are going to be pack-hopping, so Ari can find her mate," Asher explained. Charlotte squealed.

"I forgot about that! He's going to be the best mate ever!" If she wasn't pregnant, I could totally imagine her jumping up and down like a teenager.

Even though they're a couple of decades older than me, Charlotte, Asher, and my parents still act like young adults.

"Wow. That's not offensive." Asher pouted, Charlotte kissed his cheek and he smiled.

The power of the mate bond right there. They can instantly make you happy. It's a beautiful love.

"I'm going to have a talk with him before anything happens." Asher cracked his knuckles. His mate narrowed her eyes at him.

"You're going to chase away her mate before I get to meet him?!" Charlotte exclaimed.

Asher paled. Never, ever, ever make a pregnant werewolf mad. Especially if she is a Luna.

"I'll just make sure that he's good for Ari," he defended, taking a small step away from his mate. Charlotte still managed to whack the back of his head.

"Of course he's good for her! The Moon Goddess wouldn't pick someone that's not good enough for Ari. She did nothing wrong, so her mate must be perfect," Charlotte threw her hands up exasperated.

"Let's go talk about that alpha stuff" dad said to Asher. Saved by the King. Asher nodded and they walked off.

"What do you want to do now?" Charlotte asked.

I actually have no idea. It's my birthday. I had an amazing breakfast. I hung out with my family. I didn't have any other plans for today. I should pack for the trip though. But what am I gonna wear?

"Shopping trip," I said. Charlotte and Mom smiled and we left to go to the mall.
