Okay so this is my first story of any kind on FanFiction! Reviews are welcome but please no flames! ;)

Realizing
I thought that I hated Gabriel. I really, truly, thought that I would rather die than be with him. I was wrong. After he told me his story, the story of how he lost the first woman he loved because of himself, I couldn't help but feel bad for him and in some part of myself I knew that I would feel that way if it were anyone else. But I also knew that the other feelings he stirred in me (which were most defiantly not sadness) were something that could only be brought on him. I knew that because he told me this story he trusted me and that only made me feel terrible that I had caused him to relive something so painful to him simply so that I could understand him better.
By telling me this tale it helped me realize that he is like me. Both of us fell prey to one side of our nature instead of learning to balance both sides out. It seemed that the only real way to balance both sides was as he said, have our mate in both our fur and our skin.
Tonight I realized something important. I love Gabriel. I also realized that Gabriel understood what being mates meant. More so than I ever thought was possible. I thought that he would act the masochistic male and I would be something alike to arm candy. Again I was wrong. He understood and was more than willing to be true mates, together in everything, with no secrets between us. By the end of his story I had already changed my entire opinion of him. Moon, but did this man have power over me! But, as I was beginning to comprehend, I had just as much power over him...
