Like the Moon

@ Jinx...
Jake was still baffled with the news the pack was suppose to share. But he didn't ponder on it to much as he took off with Avery. He smiled as the took off away from the rest of the pack, he'd been enjoying the time they'd been having. "If you'd like we can, or we can or grab a blanket and find a nice place to lay out in the sun." He offered, wondering if that was something she'd like to do. They didn't get much time to just relax, and with Avery he knew she'd be happy just to talk. And with so much going on they'd be able to actually lay around and talk about it. He paused when she asked him about how he viewed her when he was in wolf form. He couldn't help but let out a soft laugh, "there's not a difference from being in wolf form and well." He motioned to him now. "There's a few things when it comes to other people though. It's like an urge to hunt, just with all other animals." He shrugged it off, it wasn't like he acted on it. Unless he was pissed then it was hard to keep himself from acting on it. He hoped she understood, of course he felt the pull to change her. But to him it didn't feel any different for wanting to hunt. He just didn't know how to explain it, it was like his wolf wanted to hunt her down just to change her, but at the same time couldn't bring himself around to actually hurt her.

Laney smiled at his sheepish look, before move over to hims and placing her arms around his waist. "That's what I'm here for." She chuckled before placing a kiss to his cheek. "And you've got your moments." She teased, knowing when it came to her he was always on point with the emotional support. "Though typically most people don't announce they're planning to try for kids. They usually wait till they are pregnant to tell everyone." She told him, "however with this being a pack I do believe that we all should be aware there might be pups in the future." She informed him. "But we do need to discuss leaving, and where we plan on heading." She said, hoping that they'd find a forever home. And she wouldn't mind adding to the pack, with them being so small it left personal time and rest off the table for most. And when you add pups to the mix they would need more eyes watching out for them.

@ BBBibles
Avery smiled as he suggested a blanket in the sun. "Ohh yes, that." she beamed really excited fr that now. She ran her thumb over Jake's hand her fingers linked with his. She chuckled as he gestured to himself when talking about his current form. He talked about the desire to hunt being ever present in wolf form and she tilted her head thinking about it before nodding slowly. They got to their place and took a blanket before heading out back to find a nice sunny pretty spot. Avery pointed out a spot where the tree branches let in enough light but the branches made it shady enough that it wouldn't get to hot. When they set down the blanket she laid back and watched Jake. "I know we are planning on turning me soon but are you thinking a day or two or sooner or longer?" she was expecting this to happen within the week of course and she was sure if she let him he would change her tonight but with what she was asking of him, some time mostly alone together before and less of the pack around she knew he needed to talk to Haden and see what they could work out for time. She was hoping they could talk to Haden before they met up with the rest of the pack tonight. She wanted to be able to give them all an answer to the unspoken question.

---

Haden relaxed as Laney wrapped her arms around him. He pulled her closer his hands rubbing her back. "I don't know how we have done this for so long without you." he said. "I don't know how I have gone so long without you." he leaned down kissing her lips tenderly. He chuckled as she told him what to expect and what she wanted to talk about. He nodded. "That is a good idea but we will need to give Avery some time. I want to hear from then when they are planning the change before we make plans because it will be a lot for her to take in and then add into that moving in the forest and hunting together as we move it could be overwhelming for a new wolf at least a few days for her to adjust. Are you nervous for her?" he asked knowing they hadn't talked a lot about it. He took her hand and started to lead her to the river. It would be nice to just sit and soak their feet while they talked.

@ Jinx...
Jake smirked at Avery he knew her likes very well, and he was glad he could make her happy with such a simple suggestion. When she laid the blanket out he couldn't help but laying down, stretching out not caring if he was to big for the blanket. He was just happy to find a spot inside the perimeter but still scheduled. He didn't have to worry about the other pack accidentally stumbling upon them. He was a very spontaneous kind of person but Avery being human didn't see the dangers there was talking about turning her while there was other around. Not that he could blame her, she didn't have the senses he did that allowed him to make the types of decisions he did. "Why are you asking me that?" He looked at her shocked she'd put that on his shoulder. Not that he cared however he figured she'd want to pick when she was turned. "Shit that didn't come out right." He chuckled knowing his out burst startled her. "What I meant was it's not up to me, whenever you are ready I'll do it." He knew that they did have to talk to Haden, but he wouldn't stop them from doing it when they wanted, because the sooner the better. He chuckled softly still not believing he'd lashed out like that. It'd been a while something caught him by surprise that he let himself react without thinking.

---

Returning his kiss she sighed, "I don't know either." She laughed softly as she teased him. She nodded, "I figured we'd wait, but it's still something we need to discuss with the pack." She told him. "Knowing that we are moving sooner than later give us all time to prepare. You know we can't just leave everything here and just move as a pack." She shook her head. "We've got so much food stored up that we'll have to plan the move right." She knew it was dangerous traveling in human form. But if they didn't come up with some way to carry thing while they were wolves they'd been abandoning a lot of food. And with Winter a few months away she didn't want them to suffer threw it. She dropped it knowing they still have time, but it was smart to think of these things before just doing it on a whim. "I'm terrified, what if something goes wrong." She slipped her feet into the water. "I want to trust Jake to handle this as it's what they want. But I just can't shake a bad feeling." She normally only got them when she was worried about Avery, and only ever once did something happen. So she'd just chalked it up to being a motherly instinct. "But besides the turning I think she'll do just fine. In all honestly I think she'll love it. It's not something I would have wanted for her in the past, but after living it I'm okay if it's her choice." She told him truthfully.

@ BBBibles
Avery looked over at him and stopped breathing her eyes wide at his outburst. she only started to breath again as he spoke again calmer. She frowned her brows knitting together. She smoothed down her shirt though it didn't need it as he explained further. "Right... I'm sorry." she bit her bottom lip. Would she ever get it right with Jake? She at one point in their relationship had thought she always did with him but now it seemed she was always messing up and she missed the easy way they use to be. She took a breath looking up at the sky trying to relax again. She twirled a strand of her hair around her finger as she let her mind wonder and the silence go on. She had been asking all the questions trying to get Jake to talk to her about this, about everything but she was tired. The silence didn't seem so bad now and it would allow him time to talk about what he wanted too. They use to talk so easy about things. Avery's hand filtered up and touched the necklace she still wore that Jake gave her. It reminded her of how much he loved her.

---

Haden frowned. "Half of use will have to be human yes but for safety I would like the rest of us to be in wolf form as we move. I don't want to take any risks we might be staying in another packs territory." he said. They sat down at the river's edge and he rolled up his pants setting his shoes to the side before putting his feet in his arm going around Laney. He listened to her fears and nodded. "Jake won't mess up Avery is to important to him." Haden said but hoped that Jake's mind was in the right place. Avery was going to need a lot of support from her bond and if she came to being a wolf on a shakey bond then it could complicate things for her new wolf mind. Haden really hoped she would like it and would join the pack easily. He remembered their conversations about her not being so beta and very opinionated. He had done his best to help her with that. "I know she has chosen to go through with it but I just hope that she has some reason more than Jake that she is doing it. Something strong." he said and looked over at Laney. "Will you speak with her as her sister and future female alpha?" he asked hopeful.

@ Jinx...
Jake frowned when she shut down, he'd not intended for her to clam up because he'd got a bit rambunctious. Watching as she fiddled with her necklace he smiled, before grabbing her elbow. "Come here." He softly said tugging at her, waiting until she laid down wrapping his arms around her and cradling her to his chest. "I didn't mean to snap at you. I was just a bit startled that you want me to pick when to change you." He gently trailed his hand up and down her arm. "You're more of the planner than I am, I kind of just go with the flow." He knew she was the yin to his yang. They fit together perfectly but they did have their differences. And he loved her from head to toe. But he was worried about changing her, would their bond still be a strong. He couldn't help the hurt feelings he still harbored. And with Jesse lurking around it didn't help his self confidence. But none the less he was trying, hoping that pushing everything aside and figuring out what she wanted it would help. He would focus on one thing at a time. And fixing his relationship with Avery took priority. He just hoped that changing her was the right decision. "And if you want me to change you right now I'd be fine with that, I just want this to be your decision, not something you feel like you should do for me or the pack." He told her truthfully, because he didn't care if she was human or wolf. And the others would have to just get over it.

---

Cuddling close to him she smiled softly, kicking her feet lightly. "I can try, there's not much you can say to her when her mind is made up." She told him. Peering up at him she smiled softly before placing a kiss to his jaw. "But we're suppose to be relaxing not worrying about pack problems. We can focus on all this later." She told him, knowing it was easier said than done just letting the subject drop. "When Avery picks a date then I'll worry." She chuckled softly, knowing that her sister could back out of this if to much pressure or doubt was planted. And Laney didn't want to sway her decision because if this was something she really wanted to do then Laney shouldn't have any say in it. "But I do want to talk about asking my dad to run perimeter." She said looking at him. "Whatever made you think that was a good idea?" She chuckled, knowing that it was only in the aspect that it gave them time to themselves. But it in itself wasn't that great of an idea, because now she had to deal with him agian. And honestly she didn't know if she was ready for that. And she just hoped that he didn't push her to hard.

@ BBBibles
Avery leaned into him as he pulled her to him. She relaxed into him because her body knew what her busy mind could not understand. Jake and her where going to be okay. He was her bond. Her everything. Avery felt the tears welling up and felt stupid for them. She buried her face in his neck. "I know. I'm just terrified Jake." she blinked quickly trying to disperse the mist in her eyes. "I'm terrified I waited to long for this. You have been my bond in a way I can't prove to you. I'm afraid that I broke us Jake that by trying to understand myself and my own feelings without everyone caused a rift I can't fix. I want you to know that every moment I have been yours and to never doubt it despite that I left because it's true in your heart not just because I tell you. I want you to change me." He told her he wanted this to be her decision and she nodded. "It is for me too Jake. I don't want to be protected anymore. I want to be free to move about the camp without everyone worrying someone is going to attack me." She looked up at him with her red eyes. "It doesn't mean I'm not scared and that all my plans aren't going to help me with that. I can't plan for what happens after you bite me. I can't prepare myself for that. So I have to just jump and hope that I will catch something that will stable me out. And I keep talking hoping you will talk back to me about what is going on in your head. It's always been hard to get you to tell me what you are thing but it's been so much more recently and can't fix that because I can't take anything back but I will do everything I can to prove to you that I am your bond, your forever as long as you will have me."

---

Haden chuckled. "She sounds like someone I know..." he teased and bumped her shoulder. She told him to stop working and he laughed. "I don't think I have ever stopped since Jake came around." He leaned onto his arms and looked up at the sky as she talked about her dad. "Desperation Laney that is the only reason. "I know you're worried about talking with him but you don't have to. He doesn't get to do just one good things and earn the right to talk to you again. He can't make demands or requests. He lost that right unless you give it back to him. You have all the say here and you don't have to feel an ounce of guilt or loyalty." Haden looked down at her. "And I know you are trying to protect your sister from him Laney but let her take some of this burden from you." He left her long before he left you so he has more work to do with her anyways so you don't have to worry about the scoreboard." he reached over and caressed her cheek. "And if he has a problem with it I will kick his ass again." he smirked playfully but his words were true. Haden would never let Laney feel bad if he could do something about it. Haden smiled and kissed her head. "It baffles me how I can support you and yet my own pack I trip over words." he chuckled and pressed his toes against hers in the water.

@ Jinx...
"I know baby, and I'm trying." He told her about his needing to open up. "But I feel that if I do open up it'll either get taken the wrong way or I'll hurt us more. And I don't want that." He shook his head. "So right now I want us to just be us, and if you need me to help you plan I will. But I can't fix this over night, even if I want to." He sighed. Gently rubbing her back, he pressed a kiss to her forehead. "I love you and I want you more than anything." He place a kiss to her lips. "And I know it's terrifying not knowing what will happen, but we do it everyday. So I'm just taking this one step at a time." He figured that was the best option. "And if you want to wait until next year to change I'm okay with that, but will putting it off be better, probably not. But it's whatever you need. Because we will survive this it's just going to take time." He said kissing her again. "I'm never letting go of you." He told her firmly.

---

Laney couldn't help but chuckled at his words, "I do believe I was the one who kicked his ass." She told him, knowing that she'd put a real beat down on her dad when Haden was hurt. But it wasn't really something she was happy about. She was just teasing him with it. "I'll be happy to let her worry about it, I'm still a bit afraid about telling her Jesse's going to be with his pack." She shuttered. "I feel like she'd got a lot on her plate right now, and he shouldn't be a worry." She shook her head. "Everything will work itself out I guess." She said trying to lighten the mood. "It's because I've seen the most intimate parts of you and they haven't." She smirked, "and if you want to keep going with those intimate setting then you'll keep on being supportive." She told him, gently nudging his foot. Looking up at him she smiled. It had been a while since they've been able to just talk. Most of their alone time was spent in the sheets, not that she minded. But it was nice to just be playful and enjoy their time together. It almost reminded her of when they first met, when they were house shopping. And they'd kissed in the kitchen, it freak her out. But she was glad that they were not at a steady place in their relationship and she got to worry about others now. Not that she liked doing that to much, though she did enjoy the out come of this on this time.

@ BBBibles
Avery nodded and closed her eyes as he kissed her head. She sighed trying to relax as he soothed her. He was giving her more time if she wanted it but he was right nothing was going to change in a year other than the possibility that she could get hurt during that time. No sooner was better. They needed to talk to Haden then she would decide when. She looked back at him when he said he wasn't letting her go and she nodded. "Good." she said and leaned in kissing him. She pressed her forehead to his. "I'm not going to ever leave you Jake." she said knowing that worried him that she would leave him again and she wasn't going to do that. She couldn't. Avery ran her hand up his chest. "One day at a time." she sighed. "I can do that." she said. She just had to keep reminding herself of his promises. He loved her and he wasn't letting her go, everything else could change but those two things were always the same and that was what she needed.

---

Haden laughed. "Yes love you did." he smirked at her teasing. He had been injured but he wasn't going to make a defense she knew he could protect the pack and her. He didn't need to defend his masculinity. Haden rubbed Laney's arm. "Avery can handle her plate but I'm not sure how she is going to take Jesse being on her dad's pack either. It might be a mx." he chuckled as she told him to keep being supportive if he wanted more intimacy. "Yes Ma'am." he chuckled. "What do you think now that you have had time to settle in about being alpha?" he asked her. He ran his foot back and forth in the water feeling the drag of the water as he looked at Laney. She was so beautiful sitting there the sun in her hair. He was so in love with her and was so happy to have her as his. They were in a good place and he was glad for that they had earned it after all.

@ Jinx...
Jake sighed loving the way her hand moved across his chest, just the simple movement felt so wonderful. It was hard for him to relax knowing that she was upset. But now that she'd finally agreed that they were just going to take things as they came, it made him finally able to relax. "Babe." He said, knowing that they were enjoying there time. "When did you want to do this?" He asked her, "like tomorrow?" He asked, wondering if this was really what she wanted, and that fast to. He knew that they'd yet to pick a date and he didn't quite know what was holding her back. "Because the packs more than likely gonna want to know when tonight." He told her, knowing that Haden more than likely would ask her to wait. He'd be more than happy to welcome his sister in law into the pack.

---

Laney smiled leaning turning her face towards the sun, just basking in the rays. "Honestly I'm still adjusting, I feel like there's times when I've got this wolf thing down. Yet things like this morning happen and I can't control my feelings." She shook her head. "It's overwhelming but it seems to be nothing we can't handle." She smiled at him, knowing that he'd been a big help. However she was going to have to make sure things like that never happened again if so then very few. "I mean I was always used to being in charge so that's nothing new." She chuckled knowing it was turn. Normally if she had to rely on someone else being in charge then it was someone she trust like Jarod. And Haden when she first met him, without knowing he was a wolf. Though being a wolf changed her perspective on a lot of things. And she was happy for the change.

@ BBBibles
Avery frowned trying to think of how to respond. "I would like to talk to Haden to see how e can support us having some time alone. Since my father's pack is running perimeter though it might be easiest for Haden if it happened tomorrow but it's something I want to talk to him about. I want to be as alone with you as I can Jake." she furrowed her brows. "As much as is safe." She said knowing his concerns. She listened to Jake and he always said something that made sense even if she didn't like it. Avery laid her head against his shoulder her fingers tracing lazily random patterns over his chest. "But your right sooner rather than later." she closed her eyes. "More time isn't going to change anything." she said back to him his words. "But doing it sooner could make things different for us."

---

Haden nodded softly. He was glad she was adjusting and enjoying it. She had always been an alpha now it was just backed up with her wolf. "We can do everything together." he said and stretched his hand out touching her. He squeezed her hand under his and smiled. "What do you imagine our forever home will look like?" he asked her. He had thought it would be a lot like this but this wasn't defendable enough. He couldn't stop thinking how much he wanted them all to have a home and how much easier it would be if they did, a place they could grow into and relax. A real home.

@ Jinx...
Jake hummed in agreement, knowing that it was more than likely best for them to talk to Haden. But he really didn't want to rush into doing that right now. He was enjoy the time they were having, and the way her finger moved across his chest. "What do you mean?" He questioned her when she said it could make things different for them by doing it sooner. Of course he knew things were going to be different, but he wanted to know what she believe would be different. Because her changing there was no telling how easy she was going to adapt to it. So they couldn't always say what type of wolf someone was. However he'd never met someone so pure as Avery turn into an angry wolf. After all Penny chose to be changed and she wasn't a very nice human before, but she was so much happier as a wolf. He didn't ask her what had changed in her. But he knew that it was finding love in Leo that helped her. And being in a pack made her see that they weren't bad, and they never could hide anything. Alpha's always had a way of making people talk to if it was ever needed, however they'd been lucky that so far their pack messed very well. And he knew that once Avery changed she'd be a great assets too.

---

Laney smirked at him feeling his hand on her, gently giving his a squeeze back. "I don't know, maybe a farm." She chuckled. "Something next to a lake or a pond. Hopefully something with a barn." She smiled at him. "I've always wanted to live in a remodeled barn." She chuckled, knowing that if they ever did find anything they'd have to fix it up and they could make it into a home. She wasn't picky, but she hoped that they could find the things they needed to make it work. And she hoped that where ever they landed the pack would be happy with making it home. "I know that we should find something for everyone, but what if we started with a house and a barn and then built the rest?" They really wouldn't need anything to big, just some living quarters and maybe a living room. Some place they could go and just hang out when it got to cold. As most things in a house wasn't usable now a days.

@ BBBibles
Avery looked at Jake as he asked what she meant. "I mean we will be connected more, it will be easier to understand the other." she said. "Haden and Laney seem to read each other's minds sometimes and they complete each other. We have had a stronger bond than they did when Laney was a human. I know it's been harder recently but that won't last forever." Avery said and looked at him. "What do you think will be the same?" she asked him wondering how he thought this was going to work. He had always been more sceptical she was bonded to him but she knew she was and had been a long time. She felt him and when he was awake and she selp she was with him more than herself. And now and again they shared dreams. She knew they had a strong bond she only wanted him to be as secure in it as she was.

---

Haden nodded. "It would make it easier to grow food that way." he said and smiled. She talked about what she wanted and he smiled nodding. "Of course we could build things for them and fix it up. But we have to find the right place." he said. He knew many of the pack would want to be as close to the forest and water as they would a home because the forest felt safe as a wolf. He understood that as well. "You know you're more the visionary than I am Laney. The pack will grow and prosper because of your vision for it." He kissed her cheek and leaned over to caress her cheek. "I love you Laney and I am so glad to be bonded to you."

@ Jinx...
Jake smiled at her, "my heart." He teased, knowing that nothing would truly be the same. The more that he thought about it, the more he knew things were going to change. For instance his love for her, it would grow stronger. As their connection strengthen so would everything else, it could only get better. Though yes they'd still have their issue or fights no couple was perfect, not even when mated. "Honestly I know we're both going to go through changes. But as you said our connection will just get stronger." He smiled at her. "And as much as I want it, I don't." He sighed. "I love you just the way you are, and I don't want to change our relationship for anything in the world." He said, "but I do want you to be happy, and if that means changing you then I'll do it gladly." He knew that it sounded like he was trying to talk her out of the change. He wasn't he just loved her so much. And he'd loved so much more once she was changed, but that didn't mean he should want her to change either. It was her decision to do this and she needed to do it for herself and not for him. But it made him happy that she wanted to strengthen their bond. Because she was giving into the mating and not running from it.

---

Laney smiled she loved when he complimented her, it made her heart soar. But she got lost in his touch. "I love you too." She told him, before leaning in and pressing her lips to his. It felt like a much needed kiss. Like she'd been starved of his touch for to long and this kiss gave her the fulfillment she needed. Breaking the kiss, she peer up at him. "I don't know what I'd have done if I never met you." She told him, knowing that she was never this 'visionary' as he put it. She was always looking for a way to run or leave. But this time all she could think about was their future. Plan everything down to the tiniest detail. But he's love, the draw to him, that was what allowed all of this. Had she not have seen what an amazing man he was from the start, this conversation would never be happening. And she feared where she'd been now. Most likely mated to Luke, she hated that thought. And she didn't want to dwell on something that never happened. "You have no idea how much I love you." She told him, knowing that it had saved her life, being with him.

@ BBBibles
Avery frowned as she tried to understand. He had been wanting this but wouldn't ask for it and now he told her he also didn't want it. What was it about their relationship right now that he was afraid to loose? She bit her lip trying to understand and decide how she felt. When she thought about the change she was scared but aside from that? She wanted it. She wanted to be apart of Jake for herself not just him. But was there any other reason? She wanted to be free. She would be safe and able to be free as a wolf. The decision to join the pack was one she could make as a wolf and decide if she could still be free then. "I love you Jake. I want this." she said and relaxed. She looked up at him. "I remember when I was a kid before my father left I would go for runs, just to feel the wind in my hair but then he left and it wasn't safe to run anymore. When we were with Jared's group we had a large place and I could run from one side to the other. I would volunteer for missions as much as they would let me go just so I could run but they were afraid to lose their future healer. I was more talented than anyone else there. And here... it's not safe for me to run and it makes everyone jumpy. But as a wolf... I'll be able to run again." she said wanting him to understand her decision.

---

Haden grinned as she told him that he had no idea. "Maybe not but just maybe I do because I love you just as much." He teased truthfully. He chuckled. "My moon." he smiled and kissed her head. "Come on let's take a walk." he said and pulled his feet from the water. He put his shoes back on and pushed his pant legs down then offered her his hand. He smiled at her. He knew the life she had lead before him had been a struggle and he hoped than even with their struggles that she was happy now, that she felt like she never had to do anything alone again. Haden never felt more like a leader than when he was with Laney because she reminded him over and over that he was good, that his caring was enough and he didn't have to do it alone either. He was just as lucky she came into his life as she felt she was lucky he was in hers.

@ Jinx...
Jake smiled at her before shaking his head. "You want to feel free." He told her smiling understanding now one of the reason why she'd left. It hurt him still knowing she wanted to be away from him. But the truth is they were very cautious when it came to her because she was to easy to hurt. "It's scary because it's new, but once you get your feet under you there's nothing stopping you." He told her, "It's a hazy feeling almost like it's not real. But the most important thing is to not let fear or anger control you while you're in wolf form." He told her, knowing that any little be of information could help. Though he needed to talk to Haden, he wasn't sure he could change her. He didn't want her to be scared of his wolf form.

---

Laney felt a blush on her cheeks, this man still knew all the right things to make her swoon. She followed his lead stuffing her feet back into her shoes. Taking his hand she let him lead her through camp. Looking around she noticed the place was deserted, though she didn't pay it any mind. They were all off enjoying their alone time, and she couldn't blame them. But it did make her swell with pride. Knowing that even though this time was for resting, they were all able to spend much needed quality time with their mates. Turning she tugged at his hand before leading him out into the woods. They'd not spent much time out side of the pack in a while so, she wanted to find a quite location further away so he couldn't easily check up on the rest of the pack. Her father was suppose to be taking care of the perimeter and she knew that if he failed then she'd have his head. But that wasn't what they were suppose to be worrying about, right now it was time for them to just enjoy each other. And if she had to she'd play dirty she would.

@ BBBibles
Avery nodded softly. "You know it is easy to feel myself with you. Even when you don't want me to do something to keep me safe I still feel like you respect me to make my own decision." She said hoping he understood that it wasn't him, that he wasn't to blame for anything. She he started to tell her more about being a wolf she looked up at him. She nodded as he told her she would be unstoppable. She was looking forward to it. "Will you go on my first run with me?" she asked him. She would have to remember not to let her emotions run her wolf. She hoped she would be able to control that. She tilted her head as she looked at him feeling his nerves and leaned dup pressing her lips gently to his. "What's going on in your mind?" she asked him softly as she looked at him.

Haden grinned as they moved through the camp and Laney lead him towards the forest. He loved that after all this time she still wanted as much alone time as they could get. She was good for him. He would never stop working if it wasn't for her. He kissed her head as they walked. "How am I supposed to stop thinking about the pack? All I want to do is make things better for them." he grinned at her. "I don't have any other hobbies of my own." he said and chuckled. "Do you have any hobbies Laney?" he asked. Haden didn't know what she did with free time because they didn't get any free time like this. He lace his fingers in her and started to swing it gently as they walked. He looked up at the trees loving how the sun shined through them.

Jake nodded listening to her words, it didn't mean he truly believed them. And that was where the whole speaking with Haden came into his mind. If she really thought that she wouldn't have gone to him. But he didn't want to fight or even think about it right now. He was happy for the distraction when she spoke about going on her first run. "I'd love to." He said, knowing that it was the most eventful. As the first run really got you used to wolf form. "I'm just thinking about after the change." He told her, "what things will be like, and how you're going to change." He smiled at her. He knew it wasn't a bad thing for any of it, it was just change some times was hard. And he wanted this to be easy for her, as easy as it was for Laney. Lifting his hand he gently cupped her face, before leaning up and kissing her. "I love you." He told her, knowing that it never got old to hear.

Laney smiled at him, "I can't say I have hobbies, but talents that I used to keep me busy." She told him, knowing she'd been much like him never stop working. Her times that she wasn't on a run she was building traps or snares. Anything that would keep her out of site and busy. She stopped turning to look at him. "I know of one hobby that you have." She told him, lightly trailing her hand down his chest. Pausing at his belt, her eyes lifting to look at his. Before her hand grabbed his knife. Quickly turning she threw it at a tree, watching as it suck into the hard bark. "There's always things you can do with out working." She told him, before going and grabbing the knife. Holding the tip of the blade she offered it to him. "Wanna try." She said.

Avery smiled as he agreed to go on her first fun with her. She listened to him as he told her what was on his mind. She tilted her head thinking about it and nodded. "Are you afraid of how I will be different? That I won't be the girl you fell in love with?" she asked him. She leaned her head into his hands and observed his words. "I love you too Jake. With all my heart." she said and kissed him softly. She wanted to think she would always be the same but being able to be on her own would make all the differance. Who would she be if she didn't need to depend on anyone else? Avery looked down at Jake and leaned in her eyes searching his until her lips came to his. Her eyes closed as she kissed him sweetly. She didn't know how it would all go but she knew she was ready to take the next step with Jake.

Haden chuckled as she ran her hand down his chest. "Oh really?" he asked and then raised a brow as she took his knife and threw it. He smirked. "Damn your so fucking sexy." he smiled and stepped forward kissing her and taking the blade gently. "I'll give it a try." he said. Haden turned making sure there was no one around and that Laney was in a safe spot before he took aim. He looked around finding a tree to aim at. He weighed the blade in his hand giving it a little toss in his hand before he took aim and threw the knife at the tree. He chuckled as it missed stumbling against another tree not far behind it. "Well that is something to practice."

@ Jinx...
Jake furrowed his brow, "you'll always be the girl I fell in love with," he told her softly. "Chances are part of a relationship, and I wouldn't want it any other way." He smiled softly. "You have you own fears as I do, but it's not because I'm afraid you'll change." He said, not really wanting to talk about this any more. He felt like they were going around and around in circles. He knew it was because she was scared, but it didn't change the way he seen it or felt about her. When she said she loved him back he smiled before excepting her kiss. Letting his hands slip down to her hips, he shifted them before she was straddling him. "That's better." He teased, before pulling her lips back to his. He ran his hands up her back, pulling her closer to him.

Laney couldn't help but smirk when he told her she was sexy. She felt it call to something inside her, knowing that he found her sexy even when she did the simplest of things. Though it was like someone flipped a switch in her when he threw the knife. She couldn't stop the laugh that bellowed out of her. Her hand moving up to cover her mouth. "You think?" She giggled. She knew that she shouldn't be making fun of him. But every since she'd been turned her persuasion has been almost precise. But she had one hell of a throw before she was turned.

@ BBBibles
Avery was glad to hear him say that. She would always love him even as they grew and changed. She giggled as he pulled her up to saddle his waist. She smiled down at him her lips moving to his. She ran her hands up his chest as she moved closer to him. She hummed into his kiss. Maybe they could have a moment were they just enjoyed being together and didn't talk about the past or the future. She knew they usually did that best when they where making love but she was hoping they could find another way to do that as well. Avery sat back up looking down at him. "What is your favorite thing to do?" she asked him. Maybe they could go and do that because she had a feeling if she stayed straddled over his lap like this every long it wouldn't be long before they where in the throws of lust.

Haden laughed as he looked over at her. "Give me a break I've never thrown a knife before. Did think I had a need to." he said and grinned. "I'm going to try again." he said and leaned over kissing her before going to get his knife. He leaned over picking it up and feeling how it felt in his hand hoping it would help him to throw it better. He moved back to his spot and took aim again. He looked at Laney then back at the tree and threw the knife again at least hitting the tree though the knife didn't stick. Haden headed over and grinned. "I'll get it." he said and moved back to his spot. He tossed the knife again and the knife stuck in the tree where he threw it. Accuracy would get better with practice but at least now he could hit the tree. He grinned at Laney. "I'm not all perfect."
