A/N: I needed to relieve some stress and for me writing helps, so I was thinking of what to write about and this popped into my head. I don't know if it's any good or if I'll continue with it but if I do it'll be one big lemon. If you like it and want me to continue let me know in the reviews! Also let me know if it's complete garbage! :)

Chapter 1

DPOV

Today marks mine and Chloe's one year anniversary. I want to do something special that shows how much I really love her. I've already told her she's my mate so we've already had sex. That's one of those werewolf things, after confessing that you're mates it's mandatory to have sex. I don't mean that you're forced to do it but the wolf takes over and the mate feels the pull of it as well so it's basically impossible not to. What she doesn't know though, is that to fully claim her as my mate I have to bite her, but only if she wants me to and tells me exactly where. I've been dreaming about doing it for so long but wanted to wait until the time was right. The time feels right for me so hopefully it's right for her too.

Conveniently, everyone that lived in the safe house we were staying at were going out tonight so Chloe and I had the house to ourselves. Right now everyone was out getting groceries except me. I draw to much attention to us so I don't usually go out much. Seizing the opportunity of an empty house, and more importantly a Chloe-free house, I started setting up everything for later tonight. Starting in my room I set up candles on every free surface including an old rocking chair sitting in the corner. After that I went back downstairs to start writing out a note I planned to leave on her pillow before she got home. I wanted Chloe to think I wouldn't be home until later so she wouldn't go in my room for any reason and see the candles before she was meant to. I knew Chloe liked to shower around the time they'd be getting back so I ran upstairs to put the note on her pillow. Before I was completely down the stairs I heard voices coming from the garage letting me know everyone was back. I hurried down into the basement before Chloe saw me and waited there until I heard the shower start in her bathroom.

CPOV

When we got back to the house Derek wasn't there. Before I left he told me he'd see me when I got back, so where was he? Deciding he may have left a note I went up to my room with the box of hair dye Kit had bought me at the store, I've religiously kept my hair streaked red since the black dye atrocity last year, and sure enough Derek had left a note on my pillow.

Hey Chlo, I know I said I'd be there when you got back but I got restless waiting and felt I needed to go for a run. I won't be gone long and when I get back we can curl up in bed and watch a movie. Happy Anniversary, I love you. – D

Well I guess if Derek needed to run I'll take a shower and wait for him to get back. Once I was done my shower and in pajamas, comfy but sexy pajamas, I went out into my room and was shocked to see what was there. There were rose petals leading from the bathroom door out into the hallway. I followed them to Derek's door. What is he up to? I thought we were going to cuddle and watch movies for our anniversary since we can't very well go out. I didn't expect anything like this. His door was open so I walked in expecting to see him on the bed or something, but what I found astonished me.
