He kisses her on the lips. Ana doesn't respond, but it does make her forget about everything else. Mason pulls back and Ana just stands there looking up at him. His face still holds concern and he still has one hand on her cheek. Ana pulls away from him making him feel hurt and her wolf angry. "We need to go." She says walking around him to leave.

Mason stays in the room thinking. His wolf telling him to go, but he stays. How could I have been so stupid? Many thoughts like that start to run through his head.

♪ ♮ ♫ ♭

After the quiet ride back they both unpack everything. Mason doesn't know what to say and Ana keeps replaying the whole thing in her head. She doesn't understand how it made the panic attack stop and not come back. It's never just stopped.

When she goes into the house with the last bag she hears her phone ring. She answers. "Hello?" She says still distracted.

"Ana, will it be ok if you work late tomorrow? I'm sorry, I just had to get the client in." Her boss says and she snaps back to being focused.

"Um, sure. It's alright." She says.

"Thanks, your the best." He says and hangs up.

"Who was that?" Mason asks, just out of curiosity.

"My boss asked if I could work late." She says and then David comes into the living room.

"Why are you guys back so late?" He questions still practically asleep.

"Her guardian wasn't very friendly and Ana had to do a lot of paperwork," Mason replies.

"Oh, um, when do you leave for work?" Ana asks knowing there won't be a bus around for her to ride. The house is pretty much in the woods.

"Six, why?"

"Could you drive me? I have to be at work for 5:45." She says hoping he'll be fine with it.

"Sure. I'm going back to bed. Night." He says before turning around.

Mason and Ana stand in the living room. He stands towards her while she looks everywhere, but at him. "Ana," He says and she looks up at him. "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable or anything. I just didn't know how to calm you down. I tried other things, but-"

"I know and it's fine, really." She says and he's confused. He doesn't understand that if everything is fine, why she isn't talking to him. She sees his confused face and takes a seat. Only twice. "I don't understand how that made it go away. It was a distraction, yes, but normally after a distraction, it comes back. I've never had it just leave." She says looking up at him. He takes a seat next to her.

"Werewolves, don't have these conditions because our body fights them. Maybe us having our mate bond helps your wolf gene." He says not knowing how else to explain it. Ana stares at him as he looks ahead. "Why are you staring?" He asks turning his head.

"How'd you-"

"I can just feel it and when I asked you gave it away." He says flashing her a smile. She lets out an airy laugh.

"Let's go organize my stuff-stuff." She says still smiling. He groans but gets up and walks behind her. When they get into his room Ana tries the light, but it doesn't turn on. "You're light bulb went out-out."

"Don't need one." He says and she shakes her head.

"Yeah, but I do." She says watching him walk back out of the room. He walks to a closet and feels the top shelf.

Once he gets back into the room he hands her the bulb. She gets on his bed and unscrews the other bulb before putting the new one in. She gets off the bed and puts the dead bulb in the trash before opening his closet.

"Your things are very organized-organized." She says surprised.

"Yeah, that's so I don't look like a dork. I know where everything is and what is what." He says making her smile again. She opens the other side and sees it's empty.

"Is it alright if I use the other side-side." She questions. He nods his head sitting down on his bed.

He listens as she puts things away and reorganizes things.

"There. Done." Ana says and turns to Mason. He's passed out. She laughs because his head is in his hand and he about ready to fall off. She walks up to him and carefully sets his head down on the bed. Before she can do anything else she gets a coughing fit.

Hearing Ana cough makes Mason's head pop up. He hears her continue to cough and kneels next to her. He can tell she's sitting on the floor. Her whole body shakes and Mason rubs her back. Once she's done she stands back up. "Sorry, didn't mean to wake you."

"That doesn't matter. Are you ok?" He asks concern written on his face again.

"Yeah, I get coughing fits occasionally." She replies like it's nothing.

"Is there a way to prevent them?"

"No, they just come and go. It's really not that big of a deal." She says glancing at his clock. No point in trying to sleep because it reads 4:45am.

"It didn't sound like nothing." Mason says still not convinced.

"They have always happened, trust me I'm fine." She says liking how concerned he is. "Now where are your showers-showers?"

♪ ♮ ♫ ♭

"Thank you," Ana says getting out of David's car. He drops Ana off first, then he goes to his job, and then Grace takes his car to work.

She walks through the front doors and takes her seat at the desk. She reorganizes everything and makes sure everything is perfect. She also makes sure to update the calendar for her boss.

♪ ♮ ♫ ♭

"Thanks again Ana. I don't know what I'd do without you." Her boss says exiting his office.

"It's wasn't a problem." She says and sends a friendly smile at him. He nods before leaving the building. Ana makes sure everything is in order before grabbing her bag and locking the building. David had said he would be there around the time she got done, so she waits by the doors.

♪ ♮ ♫ ♭

"Oh, you wouldn't believe some of those people. I'm mean they're just rude." Grace was talking about her work and some rude customer.

Ana just stares out the window and laughs at David because she can tell he doesn't really care. He's trying, though, which makes her smile.

Once they get to the house David stops Ana. "Hey, um we are leaving so I can meet her old pack and family. Would you mind driving Mason to a wedding he has to play for? I'll be leaving my car here." He asks pleadingly.

"Sure, wait today-today?" She asks eyes wide.

"Yeah." He says and scratches his neck.

"Ok, what's the address?" She asks and he yelled a yes before giving her the address. "Now have to find something to wear-wear." She says mumbling to herself as she looks on her side of the closet. She looks at all of her dresses before pulling one out.

As she's trying it on Mason walks in again. "You always do that." She says and he looks at her confused. "Close the door please." She says shaking her head.

"Oh sorry." He quickly shuts the door.

"It's fine, but when you walk in here you should just shut the door right away." She says smiling. He laughs and apologizes once again. "You look fancy, it looks good on you." She says looking him up and down.

"I was hoping so." He replies. Her wolf has been talking to her nonstop and Ana's trying to ignore her. "Do you mind doing my tie though? I can't get it." He says and opens a door. Ana picks one that matches her dress because she is his plus one.

"Can you sit on the bed? It's a little hard to do when you're as tall as the house-house." She says and he laughs again. After sitting on the bed Ana easily ties it until it's up to her standard.

"Thanks." He says standing up. Ana grabs her heels and puts them on. Mason waits in the room listening.

"Ok, ready?"

"If you are?" He says back.

"Perfectly ready." She says and walks out after him.

"Oh my gosh, you look beautiful," Grace says dancing over towards her.

"Thank you." Ana says as her face reddens.

"Have fun you two, I'll see you guys in a week. Maybe if they don't kill me." He says earning a slap from Grace. Ana and Mason start laughing.

"Ok, well bye guys, don't wanna be late," Mason says turning around. Ana follows and waves back at the mates.

"This place is huge," Ana says staring at the building. When they walk in she's amazed by how beautiful it is.

"Ana, can you take me to the piano?" Mason asks. He doesn't like people knowing and Ana kept that in mind. So she put her arm through his to make it seem that they were just a couple.

Once they get to the piano she lets go. "Thanks for that." He says before sitting down.

"When do you start?" She asks looking down at him.

"When the singer tells me. There will be a few others here to play along with. Don't know what they will be playing, though." Right as he said that a guy and girl came walking quickly towards them.

"We might have a problem. Our singer is sick with no voice." The guys say looking at Mason.

"That's a problem for sure. Did you guys bring the sheet music by chance." He asks.

"Um, yea in our car." He says looking frantic.

"Ana, would you mind singing?" Mason asks. Ana's eyes widen. The girl then pieces everything together and runs out the door to go get the lyrics.

"I-I, don't know." She fumbles.

"Just sing me a scale." The guy asks. Ana does and he nods his head many times. "Please, we need someone. And if's for a wedding. Don't want to disappoint them." He says and Ana takes a breath.

"Ok, I'll try, but I need to read the lyrics before anything." She says and he jumps.

"Thank you so much." He says and the other girl is quick to hand her the papers. Ana sits down next to Mason on the bench reading the lyrics and trying to get a feel for it.

"Is it ok if I change a few things. Some of this won't fit my voice." She says looking up at the two.

"Yea, we can change our tempo if need be or anything. How 'bout you Mason. That alright?"

"Perfect." He says smiling. The other two leave to get setup and Ana tries to read over more lyrics and songs. "You'll be great." He says and Ana turns towards.

"I hope so, I mean this is their wedding-wedding." She says nervously.

She continues to read until they say it's time to start. Ana takes a few deep breaths and looks at the rest of them. She puts two thumbs up and they start.

"Thank you, you were a lifesaver." The other two players said shaking Ana's hand. "And Mason you rocked out there." He holds his hand out. Ana goes to bump him, but he extends his hand.

"You guys were great too." He says dropping his hand. Ana watches at they then leave and turns to Mason.

"How'd you know about his hand?" She asks confused.

"I heard his arm brush his pants and put two and two together." He says smiling at her.

"You're really good at hiding it you know that-that." She says before starting to walk to the car. Once she takes a seat she feels her chest tighten before another episode of coughing comes. She starts grabbing in her bag looking for her inhaler. She tries to slow her breathing, but it's not working.

Mason hurries over to her and helps her sit against the seat. He made David tell him what to do if she ever got an asthma attack and helped to look up the other conditions she'd told him so he's prepared. He grabs her purse and feels for the little inhaler and once he finds it he grabs her hand and places it there. He hears as she tries to take a deep breath in. He listens as her breathing starts to even out. She takes two more deep breaths before dropping her inhaler in her lap. Mason stays right next to her. He's kneeling on the ground leaning into the front seat.

"Ana, can you tell me what caused it to start up?" He asks carefully.

"I...don't know." She says slowly. "My breathing has been quicker the last two days, but I didn't think anything of it." She says closing her eyes for a while. "Thank you." She says opening her eyes to look into Mason.

"I made David tell me what to do if it ever happened. Just glad I could do something to try and help." He says making a small smile form on her lips. She then sees a small bruise on his forehead.

"How'd you do this." She says carefully touching his head.

"Oh, I think I hit my head on the door trying to get you to sit back." He says loving that she cares and notices.

"Oh, I'm really sorry." She says mad at herself. Her wolf tries to talk her down, but it makes Ana mad that he got hurt because of her.

"It's just a little bump. Better than you having to go to a hospital." He says and for a second felt angry inside him. He doesn't understand why because he wasn't angry at her, it was something else.

"I can drive us back now, I'm going to get some fast food, though." She says sitting up.

"Are you sure?" He questions.

"Yeah, we've been sitting here for like 20 minutes-minutes." Mason nods and slowly gets up. He makes his way to the other side and takes a seat. They both stay quiet.

Mason trying to figure out the burst of angry that went through him and Anas mad that he got hurt, yet confused on why she has such a strong feeling.
