Raven pov
When I woke up Alex was no longer on the bed. The memories of last night flash through my head. From us finishing off Isaac's mac and cheese leftovers to the fact she asked me to move into her bedroom with her. Last night was the best sleep I've had in weeks. Power of the mate Bond I guess.
I find a note on Alex's pillow telling me she had some Alpha things she had to do. I smile thinking how dedicated she is to her job. I never thought that I would end up being an alpha's mate. Let alone a true Alpha. Yeah it's amazing that I am and it's natural for a strong blood to be made into another strong blood most of the time.
But I just didn't really see that for me I was always content with being the beta. But I'm grateful for the moon God is giving me Alex because honestly I don't know where I'd be. Yeah I would probably still be with my best friend it has his beta but what I've really been happy.
No idiot you wouldn't have been happy you would still be soaking over that bich of an ex-girlfriend. Jay says in my head. Okay maybe you're right. But you don't need to be so blunt about it. I tell my stubborn wolf.
I'm going to be blunt about it I don't even know what you saw that which. Jay says. When we met she was so caring and sweet who would have known she turned out to be a cheater. I reply.
Yeah yeah but we better get ready you've slept almost the whole day. And you still have a picnic to set up. Jay says. Crap you're right I got to go get ready and then set everything up. I replied to Jamie for blocking him out of my mind.
Talking to Alex's closet to the door to the secret hallway before heading to the TV room. When I get to the TV room I quickly choose a nice outfit before heading to the kitchen.
When I get to the kitchen I smell the lingering set of Alex. She must have came into the kitchen this morning. I quickly get the food and stacks before headed off to the lake.
When I get to the lake I find the box I hit under the tree with the fairy lights. I then set up the fairy lights and rose petals by the lake. I then lay down the blanket and put the picnic basket on the blanket.
Once everything set up I just sit and wait for the beautiful angel to show up.
************************************
I was playing my phone patiently waiting when I heard a twig snap. I look up for my phone to see Alex. She was wearing a yellow shirt with white stripes with a small pineapple on one side. With some denim jeans and comfy sneakers.
She looks like an angel in the casual Wear. She wore her hair down. Her eyes twinkled with excitement when she saw how everything was set up. I smirk and victory.
She turns to face me. When she sees my smart she rolls her eyes before chuckling. She walks closer to the blanket before stopping a smirk of her own forming on her lips. All the sudden I feel a force push me back. I fall into the lake.
Alex starts laughing as I swim up to the shore. When I climb up onto the shore she snaps her finger and I'm all of a suddenly dry. I look at her dumbfounded why she just laughs.
How did you do that? I asked. She chuckles before she walks closer to me. As I look at her closer I noticed her hair is no longer blonde but a silver with some blue in it not to mention it shorter. And what did you do to your hair? I asked she chuckles again.
I had a little visit from the Moon goddess. Apparently there's a danger coming and she wanted to give me my full powers. If you ask me I like the new hairdo not to mention the big power upgrade. She says. I shake my head chuckling before everything registers in my mind.
Wait you had a visit from the Moon goddess. And a power upgrade you have magic now that's more than that upgrade. I say still trying to wrap my mind around everything.
Once we're done discussing everything that happened today we sit down on the blanket and start the picnic..
.....................................
So umm I no you like racing but do you have any other hobbies? I ask. She looks taken it back at my question. Well not really besides being an alpha of a pack and the world's top Street racer I really don't have any other hobbies. Alex replies.
What about you do you do anything besides fixing cars? Alex asks. I laugh at the irony of the situation. She's a racer and I'm a mechanic. No not really well if you count being a beta as a hobby. I reply with a wink. She shakes her head and chuckles.
What's your favorite color and why is it your favorite color? She asks. That's a tough question. I go over all the colors in my head trying to find which one's my favorite. I would have to say either black or silver. Black because it can go with anything and it's the color of my wolf Jay. Silver because not only is it a beautiful color but the fact that silver Burns werewolves skin. I know that sounds a little dark but what I mean by that is that silver has beauty but has danger to it as well. I answer her question.
Anyway yeah so what's your favorite color and why? I ask. She thinks for a moment. Red definitely red. Not only does it have multiple shades but it also stands out from the other colors. Kind of like me I stand out more than the other werewolves. Alex replies. I'm on my head.
If you had one wish in the world what would it be? I ask. She thinks for a minute before she picks up a strawberry and starts eating it. Completely ignoring the question. Why would I need a wish when wishes hardly come true. She answers. For some reason her answer tug on my heartstrings.
Someone I used to be close to would tell me if you believe your wish will come true it would. I tell her recalling all the times my mother would tell me about wishes. That was before my father killed her. My father wasn't a kind man. He would do anything to get his way even if it meant hurting his family.
I'm pulled out of my thoughts when I feel tiny Sparks on my cheek. Are you okay? Alex asks while wiping away my tears. I had not even noticed that I was crying. Yeah I was just recalling some memories. I tell her with a small smile.
---------------------------------------------------------
Me and Alex finished up our picnic in a comfortable silence. When we we're done I walked Alex back to the Alpha House. I'll see you later Raven I have some Alpha things I have to take care of before I get ready for bed. Alex says before heading into the house. I looked down to my watch to realize we have been by the lake for a few hours.
It's now around 6:00. I head up to Alex's room well it's our room now. I am going to the closet and open the door to the secret hallway figure and I could chat with Isaac for a little while.

Alex POV
My date with Raven was fantastic we got to know each other some more. There was a moment where Raven cried he said he was recalling some old memories. It broke my heart to see him cry. Lace was howling and despair when the tears were dripping down his cheeks.
We finished the day in a comfortable silence before heading back to the Alpha House. When we get to the Alpha House I tell Raven that I have some Alpha work I have to do before I go to bed and head into the house. I head to my office.
When I get to my office sit down at my desk and start filling out some paperwork. As I'm doing the paperwork I wonder what happened to Raven in the past to make him so closed off at times. There's something in his past he's afraid to tell people.
That's something I understand. I wouldn't want to tell people that I was abused by my father. Or that my mother just let it happen. Just because I wasn't the oldest child because I was unwanted child. People would look at me like I was crazy or would they would look with pity in their eyes.
Knowing how bad my past is it makes me wonder how bad his is. Especially since I have a feeling he's running from something or someone.
