relationship with Jadelyn, holding nothing back. As they kissed, the world around them disappeared and all that was there was a bright light. Their wolves howled in content as the kiss grew deeper. Eli broke the kiss so they both could catch their breaths. When Jadelyn grabbed his hand, a spark sizzled in the palm of their hands and traveled through their bodies. This continued as they walked to the motorcycle and climbed on.

They pulled up to their hiding spot; it was just as they left it seventeen years ago except for one thing, the floating table and chairs in the middle of the field. They were on top of a small cliff that was five feet above a small waterfall and pool. Bright green grass covered the cliff with silver roses, green daisies, and turquoise tulips, and in the center of the cliff grew the tree they planted almost twenty years ago. Jadelyn noticed the tree had grown at least five feet since the last time they had been there, and it now had something carved into it. As she walked closer, the carving became clear to her. Carved into the tree with a heart around it and the infinity sign underneath it was “ Jadelyn and Eli.”
While Jadelyn investigated the tree, Eli had grabbed the food and wine out of her bag and was now setting up the table. By the time she turned around, everything was ready to eat, and she was starving since she skipped breakfast. When she finally made it to the table, Eli lowered his right hand and the chair on the right followed his command until it was close enough to the ground for Jadelyn to sit on. “Hold the sides of the chair until I finish lifting you up.”
Jadelyn grabbed the sides of the chair as he raised her up. She was surprised with what she saw at the table since Chelsea woke up right before her. Jadelyn didn’t think Chelsea could make all of this in the short time she had, but somehow she did. Looking over at Eli, she noticed he was so tall he didn’t have to lower the chair for himself. On their plates in front of them were baked eggs in bread bowls, with a peaches and cream breakfast cake, and white wine in their wine glasses.
With the force of their wolves trying to shift, Eli and Jadelyn had to eat with one hand while they held each other’s free hand so they wouldn’t be knocked to the ground. Jadelyn’s now active she-wolf kept screaming out ‘ my mate’ and ‘mate now’ in her head as she tried to get to Eli. It was hard for her to deal with her wolf, so she gripped Eli’s hand tighter.
Eli knew why Jadelyn was tightening the hold she had on his hand since he was going through the same thing with his wolf.
They decided to take their wine to the edge of the cliff after they were finished eating. They dangled their feet off the edge of the cliff as they sipped their wine and watched the peaceful looking waterfall. “So you really thought I was not writing you back?” Eli turned to Jadelyn and chuckled as he asked her then took the last sip of his wine.
“Shut up, jerk. As I recall, you thought the same thing about me,” Jadelyn said as she playfully punched him in the shoulder. She noticed as the look on his face became serious.
“We need to find out who was intercepting our letters and why they wanted us to believe we never wrote each other. We also have to find out what really happened to our mothers, but we have to find the time in between the Alpha Battle schedule so we will not alert anyone else to what we are doing.
“We have to win all of our battles tomorrow night, that way we won’t have to battle again until next week. There will be three battles. If we only lose one out of the three battles, we will still have a chance the next night. The first battle we will be on our own. You fight once alone and I fight once alone, and then we fight as a couple. Whoever wins two out of three battles will battle against each other the following night until they find a
