Authors Note: Ok well I'm used to writing Twilight fan fictions, but after reading Blood and Chocolate (I haven't seen the movie...and by looking at the trailer I think it's probably crap) I desperately wanted to read what happens after the end. So I went blindly barelling through a couple of fanfics, liking a couple, but they never really hit the spot, so I decided to make my own so ya'll know what I think should happen after BAC.

Hope you enjoy it!

Love Always

Alice

She followed him to the window, the blood singing in her veins.

Chapter One: Freedom

The sound of trees rustling in the wind echoed through the air as the silence of night set in around the neighborhood. Vivian stared up into the eyes of her lover as she came to stand beside him near the open window of her painted bedroom. It was so strange how things had turned out. Not in a million years had Vivian ever thought that she and Gabriel would be together.

Sure he had always been there for her since she had been younger, he had been like the older brother she had never had. It wasn't until he started to hop around from her mother to Astrid that she even had started to dislike him, but being his mate seemed so unreal to her. Even though a part of her still wanted to detest the man before her, she could feel a bigger part of herself let out a sigh of relief.

It had taken a while for her to figure out that she had never really hated Gabriel, but she had been to blind by her need to rebel to understand her true feelings for him. Vivian knew then, that she had never hated Gabriel, but had feared him.

Not because he was so much stronger then she, but because she was scared of her feelings for him. In reality she had grown to love him in her own way long before she even realized it, but her blinding need to know him, had scared her shitless.

It was so powerful that she was willing to do almost anything for him, and thanks to that irresistible call she had pushed herself away from him years before, in order to stop her unrequited feelings.

Vivian could feel her heart beat faster within her chest as Gabriel captured her hand in his.

"Don't be afraid." He whispered soothingly; sensing her fear. "I promise I don't bite…much."

Vivian let out a laugh, trying to make her fear subside. "Don't get too cocky wolf boy. You don't have me yet."

"We'll see about that." Gabriel teased leading her out through the window and down the porch roof.

The stars shone over head while the bright crescent moon held her sway over the night.

The moonlight catching in her eyes, Vivian turned to Gabriel who stood silently watching her with curiosity.

Vivian smiled wickedly as an evil plan formed in her head.

'This should be fun' she thought pulling her shirt over her head and lightly tossing it to the damp earth.

"Catch me if you can." She laughed jumping in mid air, her body turning completely into the fur by the time her four paws hit the ground.

Vivian ran as fast as she could, the cool night air feeling like heaven against her face as she ran freely. It had been too long since she had been free to run in her fur and feel completely at peace.

Vivian's adrenaline heightened as she felt Gabriel's hot pursuit right on her tail, he was close, but not close enough. Vivian turned several times seeing if she could possibly lose the fast alpha male that was tracking behind her.

Little by little she began to feel like her old self again and with this new feeling of freedom she began to realize something.

She had never loved Aiden, only longed for someone to want her and ease her loneliness.

Vivian had thought she was in love only because without Aiden she was alone. After her father had died everything within the pack had seemed to shatter right before her eyes and she couldn't help, but want to break free of her broken life. She realized Gabriel had been right.

She had lost her father in that terrible fire. The five, her only friends, saw her only as a potential mate and would never have viewed her as a friend. She and her mother never really had been close to begin with, and after reading Aiden's poem he had seemed to be the only person who might've actually understood who she was. But she had never really loved him...

Vivian's thoughts raced through her mind as her speed increased. She could feel the earth under her feet, and could hear all the joyful sounds of the night that she had longed for, for weeks.

She jumped over logs, and raced down the forest paths in pure excitement, she had always loved a good game of tag. Finally she came to a forest clearing; the sound of a stream flowing near by caught her ears.

The sound of Gabriel's chase had ceased, and with a sigh of content she realized she might have lost him. Vivian gazed around the small meadow; it was truly a place of seclusion. All around were the giant green trees of the forest reserve, making the small clearing seem like a beautiful fortress of peace and solitude.

Realizing how thirsty she was she made her way to the small stream, and lapped at the cool sweet liquid with her tongue, unaware of the other presence in the meadow.

After a few licks she felt someone bite the scruff of her neck.

"Damn."

With an irritated sigh she complied too staying completely still, while Gabriel's musky scent filled her senses, she had been caught.

She then felt the tug of his bite as he gently lifted her from the spot so she could face him. They stared at each other's familiar eyes, as Gabriel nuzzled her neck with his muzzle. But Vivian wouldn't be caught so easily.

She went low to the ground sticking her tail in the air, like she used to when she and the five would play as pups. Gabriel had seemed to play along as he to get low to the ground in the same position as Vivian.

Vivian growled in a playful manor, gently swapping her paw at Gabriel. Gabriel jumped to the side and she followed facing him once more. A low, playful growl emitted from both of their throats.

"It's gonna take more then that to beat me wolf boy." She thought as she nipped at Gabriel's ear.

"I'm not gonna stop till you show me your belly." They ran in what seemed to be circles trying desperately trying not to lose the other's sight. The moon seemed to smile over head as Vivian made her strike, pouncing on Gabriel.

He shook himself trying to get her off, but she was determined. She clenched her teeth into his scruff, causing his wolf like form to immediately come to a complete stillness.

"Ha! See whose top dog now." She thought to herself.

She nudged him lightly so he would get the idea that she wanted him to roll over. But Gabriel wouldn't budge.

Vivian, still holding his scruff, nudged once more this time gaining submission from her mate-to-be. She smiled to herself while watching him roll over on his stomach, exposing his bare belly to her. She had won.

Victory tasted sweet in Vivian's mind, as she watched the leader of her pack submit to her, showing her that she would be the only one that would cause his mental barrier to fall. Vivian had been so wrapped up in her victory, that she was surprised when Gabriel turned over and playfully bit her ear.

A toothy grin played upon his face while his tongue hung out towards the side of his mouth. He was teasing her.

Vivian held back her laughter as Gabriel pounced on her causing her belly to be exposed to him. Finally Gabriel had broken down the stubborn, independent, wolf princess. She was his.

Gabriel lovingly licked her nose and in a second they both changed back into their human forms, both smiling as they stared into each other's eyes.

"I hope you weren't going easy on me earlier." Vivian said leaning down over Gabriel's perfect chest, though never leaving the trance of his deep blue eyes.

"Maybe I was, maybe I wasn't." Was his laughing reply, as he ran his hands, gently, up and down Vivian's bare arms.

"You're absolutely beautiful." He whispered gently placing a loose strand of hair, back behind her ear. Vivian couldn't help herself, as she brought her lips crashing down upon his into a fierce kiss. Gabriel kissed her back with such passion it caused Vivian to gasp in the middle of their kiss.

Vivian found her hands roaming all over his body as their tongues explored each others. Gabriel was absolutely perfect in such a way that Vivian couldn't help but shiver with ecstasy as he traveled his hands over her body, feeling every curve and every flaw of her.

He gently turned them over, so he lay over the chest of his intended mate. As Vivian felt her body pushed down into the cool grass, she couldn't think and brought her legs to wrap around his waist, so they could be closer.

She wanted to melt into him, to feel every ounce he had to offer. She heard Gabriel's groan as her hands traveled down his chest and around to the curve of his lower back, pulling him closer to her.

In the heat of the moment Gabriel broke the kiss, his eyes staring down at her lustful and loving face.

"I don't want to do anything you don't Vivie." He whispered gently down to her, looking almost scared of her reaction. Vivian looked up into his face, her lips mere centimeters away from his.

The warmth of his breath drew her in.

"I want this." Was all she had to say to cause Gabriel to once more lock her into another passionate kiss. She ran her fingers through his now long shaggy hair, as she felt his claws dance circles around the small of her back.

She wanted to rip the skin off of him, as he scratched at her smooth skin leaving small marks of passion. This was it, after tonight they would be mates, together forever.

As the night progressed the sound of their passion echoed throughout the forest. At the peak of their love, they brought their fangs down, sinking them into the first spots their lips touched.

The marks from their fangs officially made them mates. They had marked each other, and until it faded away the mark would stay, clear on the curve of Vivian's neck and on Gabriel's strong chest.

Vivian was now truly the alpha female and would be Gabriel's mate for as long as he wanted her.

In the shimmer of the moonlight, they laid in their human forms, cuddled up in each other's arms.

Neither of them knowing what tomorrow would bring, they lightly stayed under the protection of the moon, temporarily letting go of all their worries and letting themselves succumb to a peaceful sleep.
