Chapter 2- Acceptance

Bucky was at a pump filling up his bike with gas as the Five came up in Willem's car to get some gas. Gregory, Ulf and Finn went over to talk to Bucky. They started to talk about nothing in particular.

"Vivian was miserable last night. She usually likes our songs even thought I know she knows we can't sing." Finn said.

"Vivian has to get better. Gabriel is so depressed about what happened. I think he actually loved her. When we go out now its no fun anymore." Bucky said pulling the nozzle out of the bike.

"He seams fine to me." Ulf said. Ulf moved in with Gabriel after Astrid died. Just then another bike pulled up. They were surprised to see that Gabriel was on the bike. They could tell because he did not wear a helmet. On the bike with him was a tall girl with long flowing tawny hair. She was wearing a white turtle neck short sleeve shirt and a black leather mini skirt.

"Look Gabriel pulled up. I hope Vivian does not find out that he is with a hot, tall, blond meat-girl," Gregory said as the bike drove up to a pump. "And when Vivian does get better I'll have to look this girl up." He saw all of the boys eyes move to the bike. This girl was drop dead gorgeous.

"I did not even know he was dating someone." Ulf said.

"He is not aloud to be with anyone and if he was, he'd of told me," Bucky said. "Besides he would not date a meat- girl again after what happened last time."

"What happened?" Finn asked.

"Latter." Bucky said.

Gabriel got off the bike and helped the girl off. The boys started heading towards the girl and Gabriel. Willem joined them soon afterwards. The girl left and went into the store. They got to Gabriel just as she was coming out of the store helmet in her right arm. They did not see who the girl was.

"Gabriel, who is that girl? Why are you with someone when you should have gone to talk to Vivian? She needs your support." Bucky said looking concerned. Gabriel had not seen them until just now but before he could answer the girl came back.

"Hey baby." She said and gave him a kiss on the cheek. She did not see that all of their faces had dropped or that they were even their. She turned around to see five faces looking at her in horror.

"Vivian?" Willem asked. She nodded feeling horrible. She did not want her friends to find out about them like this, especially not Willem her best friend. They were content with her not liking him ever. She saw the looks on their faces but she did not know if they were mad at finding out like this or they were mad that she had not called them and told them that she had changed back.

"Hi guys." She said a little embarrassed. She looked over at Gregory who had turned his back and was now pacing around. "What's up with him?"

"Um… He's trying to get an image out of him head." Finn said. They all chuckled. "It's great to see you out and human. I forgot how pretty you are." She gave every one a hug. It was awkward hugging Bucky because she had never been close to him. He was Gabriel's age mate and because of this not much contact or friendship had been required. She new that since he was the beta and Gabriel's best friend she would have to become his friend too.

"Greg, you ok?" Vivian asked then he turned around.

"Yah. I am now." He said than gave him a hug. The Five were still surprised that she had accepted Gabriel and she actually liked him. She had told them that she did not even like him.

"Where are you headed?" Ulf asked.

"Don't know yet but I think we should get back to it." Gabriel said. Vivian new that it would be hardest on Willem because they had been best friends forever. She was closer to him than anyone else and if she had not won the dance she probably would have ended up with Will.

"Will, I'll talk to you tomorrow. Just you and me." Vivian got back on the bike and Gabriel drove off.

"Gregory do you still want that girl?" Finn teased.

"No. I forgot how pretty Viv was and tall. Plus I never new Vivian owned that skirt." They had hung out a lot and seen all of her clothes.

"Get a life all of you. And I'm guessing she did not tell you guys for a reason so don't tell anyone this especially Esme." Bucky said. They new they had to do what he said. He was the Beta. They also did not want to have to make him pull rank and they new that he would do it.

Meanwhile, Gabriel pulled up in front of the movie theatre. "Do you want to see a movie? We can go somewhere else if you like." There was a great horror movie playing that would be fun to watch. Vivian did not like scary movies, even if they were not scary for a loup garou but she would get scared all the same. Vivian did not mind hunting down animals but she hated watching humans being killed. While others in the pack would laugh at a scary movie she and Esme would not enjoy it because of their gentle natures. She knew that Gabriel would want to see the scary movie.

"Um, sure. If you want to." She squeaked. Gabriel was relishing the fact that Vivian would get scared during the movie and he would have to comfort her. Gabriel new this from before the fire when the pack would go into the inn to watch a movie and Ivan would wrap his hands around both Esme and his little girl. He hoped that she had not changed since Vivian was 13. Gabriel could tell from her voice that it probably had not changed.

The movie was too much for Vivian to handle just like he thought. The first half was a lot of romantic junk that Gabriel did not like. He took the opportunity to do the classic yawn and put your arm over their shoulder. After she realized it Vivian snuggled closer into Gabriel's chest. Soon the movie got into the scary parts and Vivian had to cover her eyes. He comforted her threw the rest of the movie. He enjoyed it but Vivian did not.

"Ok, no more scary movies please." Vivian said clutching him as they left the theatre. "Where to next?"

"Um I thought we could either go to the park to talk or grab an ice cream and talk."

"Ice cream is very nice." They climbed on the bike and he drove to the nearest ice cream parlour.

"You sit and I'll grab your ice cream." Vivian took a seat at one of the outdoor tables. It would be one of the last nice days in Maryland. "Your flavour mademoiselle?" he said in a fake French accent bowing.

She started to giggle. "Chocolate chip cookie dough please, monsure." She said mocking him. After a few minutes he came back with her ice cream and his which was mint chocolate chip.

"So I thought that since we are going to be in this relationship indefinitely we could talk about some things."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, I bet you know almost nothing about me and I know little about you."

"So like 20 questions."

"10 for you and 10 for me, but we both have to answer. You first."

"Favourite colour."

"Green, like your eyes."

"Are you just saying that or was it always that?" When he did not say anything she said hers. "Midnight blue."

"That is a lovely colour. Okay favourite song."

Vivian was impartial to the classic bands. "Killer Queen by Queen."

"Interesting, I took you for a heavy rock type girl. I don't have a favourite song but I do like Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones and yes Queen."

"Birthday."

"January 18, 1983."

"June 25, 1990., but you should know the date since you did come to my party." She said putting air quotes around the word party.

"I remember that. Still have the lingerie?"

"I threw it away. Moving on." They asked each other many questions until finally Gabriel decided to say what he had to say.

"So… you already know that you have to move in with me when we move in two weeks?"

"Correction, I want to move in with you when we move."

"Ok. I know it is a little weird for you because since you are the other alpha your name'll go on as owner but you have to get used to it."

"It's not weird or scary it's just different and I'm still in school, but if you are apart of the deal than I can tolerate it."

"I always am. Also, you do not have to fulfill any of your other duties until you are out of school so I hope you're happy about that." Vivian was glad that she did not have to do all of those things yet. She did not want to lead a run with him or make important decisions. She would allow her mom to still keep up those duties. She went around the table and sat on his lap.

"Thank you so much." She gave him a very passionate kiss. After the kiss Vivian said, "Any thing else I should know?"

"I am not going to burden or pressure you for anything until you graduate so my love will always be happy." He kissed her again with more heat this time.

"If you do that then your love will still love." She gave him another kiss than got up pulling him towards the bike.

"Vivian?" There was a voice coming from the ice cream parlour. She knew the voice. Quickly she broke apart from Gabriel saying that she'd be back in a minute.

"What are you doing here Aiden?" She said with acid in her voice. She walked over to Aiden. "What do you want?"

"I'm glad to see you're okay and alive," He said very sweetly. "When I did not see you at school for the last few weeks I thought I had killed you."

"Well I'm alive asshole, so you can leave." She started to walk away when he grabbed her arm.

"How can you move on so fast and be with him? Didn't he kill those people who were setting you up or something?"

"He is the pack leader, the alpha. He is the equivalent of a court and government. He has the right to kill rogue pack members, move us to new locations, find us shelter and safety or kill threats to our kind. He saved you when you could have been killed by him and do you know how you repaid him for his kindness? You almost killed his mate. And I believe that right after we broke up" she paused for dramatic effect, "you went straight to the bitch Kelly. Wait bitch is too nice for her. You went back to the fucking asshole Kelly."

"Wait you said mate. What does that mean?"

"You never studied animals in school I'm guessing. We are not animals but we use some of their terms. A mate is a husband. Once you have one you can't leave them unless the other is killed."

"What did he have to do to make you be with him?"

"I'm not being forced anymore to be with him. Aiden I love him. It would never have worked out between us even if there had been no mess. He fills a void that you could not."

"Wait you said forced. He forced you to be with him and now you love him?" She could see the horror on the poor boys face.

"Being a mate is not something to go into lightly. Most of the time one is born to be the other's mate. I feel that is what happened to us. It means that even if I had stayed with you I would have eventually had to go to him." When he gave a look that he did not comprehend what she sighed.

"Sit and I'll explain." He took a seat at a table on the other end of the patio. "Just as a side note becoming a mate is much different than getting married. I won't explain because it'll take too long and you still probably not under stand."

He looked like he was going to say something but she continued instead. "First off it would never have worked out between us because you always had a thing for Kelly. I could tell and we come from different worlds. Second, there is a pack tradition that… I'll start from the beginning. Last year there was a conflict in West Virginia. A fire that killed some of us, my dad included. He was the leader so when we moved here we had no leader. The pack finally decided to chose a leader but no one would vote on it so we had to don it the old way.

Vivian looked at Aiden to see if he was following the story. "The old way is when every adult male fights each other under a full moon. Any male can join in, even from other packs. Gabriel won. Any woman over the age of 17 can participate in the bitch's dance which happens afterwards. It names the winner the queen bitch and the mate of the person who won. Gabriel's mate. So disgustingly Astrid, who is now dead, started killing my mom because they wanted him even thought he is like 15 years younger than them. They did not even wait for the challenge to be called officially…

"Your people are weird. The men fight for dominance and then the women fight for the man?"

"You're telling me. My mom had asked if I was going to join the dance but I had said no. So when Astrid was killing my mom I unknowingly joined the dance and almost killed Astrid forcing me to be Gabe's mate and the alpha female or queen bitch. That was in July before we broke up. I wasn't going to break up with you though. I did not want him but you have to accept this now. We are leaving in two weeks and you'll never see us again. Good bye Aiden."

She got up and left the table. Vivian walked back to Gabriel. "Can we leave? It's too crowded here." He got on the bike and left the ice cream parlour. That was the last time Aiden or Vivian ever saw each other again.

"What was that about?" Gabriel asked. They were sitting on the swing near Vivian's house.

"He was just mad, jealous and he could not accept what happened. But it's okay baby. We'll be gone soon." She kissed him passionately and sat down with him on the swing until 7:30 when she had to go to be with her mother.

I just want to say that if any ideas in my story have been taken from your stories let me know so that I'll change it unless it is a major story plot line. Please review what I wrote. I don't mind if you hate it. Tell me all of your thoughts on it. I know most of it came from the last chapter of the novel. This is my first story and I want critique from reviewers. If I need more direction, less or more thought, less or more dialogue etc. Also tell me if it's too short or too long. Be brutal. Tell me if it was good. Also can someone tell me what (A/N) means? Thank you to AnimesFireBaby for your awesome review.
