All characters in this chapter belong to the author and a lot of dialogue belongs to her too. I took one of the kissing passages directly from the book. And the last few lines too. All quotes from the book have ('') around them even if it's only 2 words.

Prologue- Blood and Chocolate

Why was Gabriel in her room? He knew that she hated him and that she would never be his. Despite this he still climbed into her room. Gabriel felt a need to comfort her. '"Once upon a time… I killed the women I loved."' He cared about her. He knew that this story would provide her with the comfort to move on or at least after she was able to understand why he told her it. After a confused look from her he started to tell her how he has fallen in love with a girl before he had come to live with the pack.

If we are supposed to be mates and I have no choice about it why is he telling me this? She thought. Isn't he supposed to make me feel like I would actually want to be his mate? He is such a jerk. I'll admit a cute one though and handsome and muscular. Ugh. When did I start thinking Gabriel was hot? And wasn't he supposed to be making me feel better not nauseated? She did not understand why he was telling her this or what he wanted to accomplish with telling her this.

Gabriel told her that he would half change when they made love because he would enjoy it more. He said that one day after they had made love he could not change back. Gabriel told her of the pain in the girl's eyes when she saw him and how he could not control his anger against her for not accepting it.

Vivian did not realize it but she wanted to comfort him so much. She could see the pain on his face. She felt an overwhelming bond with him and an overwhelming need to comfort him. She felt like she could feel his pain. It was horrifying. She walked over to the bed and took him in her arms to comfort him which was surprisingly comfortable and felt very nice to her. She saw how he looked at her. It was the look she had seen her father give her mother. It was a look of pure true love. She had always dreamed of finding it, though she would not tell anyone, and was surprisingly comforted to receive it from Gabriel.

He kissed her neck but Vivian pulled away. Through their conversation she was able to realize that he was not arrogant or rude or full of himself. This realization scared her so she had to pull away. Deep in though she did not notice when he took her hand. She looked at him and smiled at the foreign feeling she felt when their hands linked. She was learning to enjoy his touch and to crave it. She did not want to leave the space of his arms ever. If she died then and went to heaven she would feel great at having found love. He pulled her towards him and started to nuzzling her ear while she unsuccessfully tried to get away. At this she new the battle had begun.

'"You don't understand, do you?"' Gabriel asked.

"Understand what?"' She asked

"We are meant to be. You became stuck because you were still holding onto your feelings for the meat-boy. If you can let them go you will be able to change back." Before she could protest he kissed her. 'She was surprised by the intensity of the kiss. It sent a swift pang through her, and she yielded up her mouth without thinking. He tasted her thoroughly, his tongue caressing hers, demanding that she respond, and she found her hands tangled in his hair, refusing to let him stop, her nose filled with the spicy dark smell of him.

This was the kiss she ha craved. The kiss that Aiden couldn't give her. Gabriel bit her lip, and she gasped and captured his mouth again with her own. He was raw and sharp and rich and throbbing with life. He was sweet blood after a long hunt. How could she have mistaken Aiden's kisses for this? They had been delicious and smooth like the brief comfort of chocolate, but they had never been enough. Gabriel pulled her over his body to lie on the bed beside him. His kisses pressed her down into the oblivion of the mattress as her hands explored his chest, his shoulders, fist face.

"I want to lay my kill at your feet," He said more groan than words, and held her tight by her hair as he marked her neck with his teeth. She writhed against him. She wanted to bite him, she wanted to rip the flesh from his back, but most terrible of all, she didn't want him to stop. Her back arched, her body shattered, she howled. Gabriel flung himself away. She struggled in a tangle of sheets and robe, floundering, and fell off the bed on all fours. She let out a yelp of astonishment, then turned in circles trying to look at herself. Gabriel sat there laughing. Gabriel explained that when you love a person you want them to see your true self and want them as a mate in both skin and fur. She changed back into a human.

"I think you just proved that you'll have me." He reached for her and kissed her again, his claws tracing lines down her back.

"Why me?" She asked, holding on to him.

"Because you cared," He whispered. "You cared so much for your people, it broke your heart to see the pack in ruins. You cared so much for your mother, you risked your life to save her. You cared enough to save someone who wanted you dead. And because you walk like a queen. And just because of the beautiful curve of your neck." Gabriel pulled off his shirt. He tossed it behind him. "Come out with me beneath the stars."'

Vivian knew that her right place was as the alpha female, the queen bitch. Her whole life had been leading up to it. She knew that she born to lead a pack. What this experience had taught her though was that she could have a happy life and be in love with her mate which was not always common. She knew that once she was older and had more experience she would lead the pack well. She had no choice but to follow Gabriel and she now knew that she wanted to follow him.

Vivian had many realizations in that short time one being that she could see a future with him and having a family with him. She saw more of her future with him than with anyone else. She would never be able to take on another mate if anything were to happen to him. Vivian truly loved hi, not that she would be the first to make those feelings known. She hoped that all of her feelings would be returned for she could not live in a one sided relationship. The most important thing that she knew was that if they did the mating dance and became official mates, she would not be scared but embraces her new life. Vivian was ready.

'"Don't wag your tail yet, wolfman," She said to cover her fears and desires. "You've bitten off more bunny that you can chew." She followed him out the window, the blood singing in her veins."'
