All characters belong to Annette Curtise Klause in this chapter. This is my first official original fan fiction and original plot so I hope you like it. I did not create many characters for this chapter. I gave the triplets and other pack members names though. This chapter starts after a year. Vivian has been Gabriel's mate for just over a year and she has graduated high school. Also thank you to NewfoundFreak, dark-vampire-fetish, ilovetwilight99 and AnimesFireBaby for reviewing my story and giving me great imput.

Chapter 3- The Truth

"Hi baby." Vivian turned over to look at her mate. It was the morning after the July full moon. She had been Gabriel's mate for a years and it had been her happiest year. She had gotten threw the school year with out any problems and all.

"Hi Gabi," She said. She kissed him than turned to look at the clock. It said 12:00. Tonight the pack had celebrated one year for Gabriel being the alpha. They had run from 10 to 5 so she had been hoping for some sleep which she had gotten.

Vivian had wanted this day to come but had also not wanted it. It was a year ago that she had won the bitches dance so according to law it was her anniversary today to, not the one she shared with Gabriel but the one saying that she was the alpha female. Today she had promised Gabriel she would start acting like the alpha. Tonight would be the monthly pack meeting that Gabriel had instated when they moved to Vermont and she would have to sit with him during it and actually participate in.

"Vivian are you scared?" Gabriel asked. "I can smell it on you."

"Yes I m scared. I knew this day would come but I did not think that I would be so scared." She got up and left to sit on the other bed. Their room was large enough to hold a king bed and a twin. The twin was there because Vivian did not want to tell anyone about them and if people came in to the room they would think that they slept in separate beds. Vivian had been hiding this from her mom because she did not want her mom to win however she had thought that her mom would figure this out by now.

"You're aloud to be scared. You did not ask for this so you may not be ready. If it helps I think you're ready for it and you did take a course on it in school if it helps too." He got up and went to hug his mate. "We have to tell them soon. This is very unnatural for them."

Vivian new what he was taking about. Everyone was extremely mad when a second bed was moved into their room. Packs always wanted their alphas to be united. They had been even angrier that Vivian had not taken on her responsibilities. They thought it was because of them not liking each other but no one new the real reason not even Esme.

Vivian got dressed and went down to the kitchen to find Esme making lunch. Esme and Tomas were the only other pack members aloud to live in the inn. The others had houses near the inn. Esme always cooked for the four of them. The inn had hired chefs to cook for the guests but Esme always liked to cook. "Hey mom. Need any help with lunch?"

Esme had not been very friendly to Vivian the last year because of her shame. The whole pack was mad at Vivian and ashamed that their alpha female was such a coward. "No. Go away." Her mother had not been this mad at her ever. She new that it was time to tell her mother everything. She heard and smelled Gabriel coming down the stairs.

Gabriel saw the hurt in his mate's face. He new what she was going to and gave her a small nod. Vivian saw his nod and said, "Mom please stop making lunch. I want to talk to you. We need to discuss this together. I hate having you mad at me like I killed someone. Please mom." When her mother did not stop she finally said, "Mom I don't want to have to do this but I'm pulling rank. As the alpha female I want you to come and talk to me."

"You can't pull rank on me. You're no more an alpha female than I am now. You want to talk fine let's talk." She put down the knife and followed Vivian up the stairs to her room. She had forgotten to make her's and Gabriel's bed so they sat on the twin bed.

"Mom I know you are mad at me and I think it is time for the truth." Vivian got up and went to the walk in close. For the passed year she had worn things that would cover her neck so no one would guess about them because she was scared. She pulled of the white turtle neck sleeveless top and put on one of her favourite low v- neck tang tops. She went back out to her mom who gasped when she saw all of the bite marks on her daughter's neck.

"Mom, I have lied to you for 10 months. I feel horrible now but I have to tell you the truth. Last September I did take Gabriel as my mate. I fell in love with him but I was scared so and I did not know what to do. If I told you I thought you would act the way you started to act since we moved to Maryland. You changed from a caring mother to a heartless slut who did not care about me. I was afraid to tell you and I was also afraid that you still had feelings for him. I am so sorry. I think i ruined our relationship even more and I am so sorry."

Vivian started to cry but was pulled into a hug by her mom. "There, there honey. It's ok. I'm not mad at you anymore. I still think you should have told me. I'm your mother. You should be able to trust me with this stuff."

After she stopped crying she said, "Mom, the reason why I have not been acting like the alpha female is because I felt like I was not ready for this responsibility but I promised him so today I have to start."

"Baby, baby, baby. I'll help you. I'm always here for you." She rubbed her daughter's head. "Come down stairs when you feel better." Her mother got up and left. After about 10 minutes Vivian came down stairs. The inn was closed for a yearly inspection for a week but the inspection was not to start till the next day. She was swiped into a hug by Gabriel at the bottom of the stair. She did not get a chance to look around the room before she was being kissed by him very passionately.

When they stopped she realized that the whole pack had been in the room to witness their passionate kiss. There was a cheer from the whole pack. "It's about time," could be heard from members of the pack who were happy that their alphas were finally together. This showed that their pack was finally back on its feet since they needed leaders that did not hate each other since they were technically married.

Vivian ran over to her mother and asked, "When did the pack get here? I thought they weren't coming to the inn till the meeting?"

"While we were upstairs Gabriel asked the pack to have the meeting earlier. Actually the meeting is going to happen after you finish eating so hurry up." Esme followed her daughter into the kitchen. Vivian picked up the sandwich and started to eat. "It was my idea for him to come up to you and kiss you. Now the pack will accept you during the meeting and you don't have to tell them to like you. I see they don't hate you anymore." Vivian finished her sandwich and then went to go sit next to Gabriel who kissed her again. This kiss was again followed by cheering.

"Okay. So we need to spend the week fixing up the inn. We also need to…"

Gabriel was interrupted by the screams of three nine year old girls. "Gabriel. Gabriel." Gabriel's younger sisters jumped on top of him.

"Mommy won't allow us to come to the meeting." Melanie said.

"We are old enough. You just said yesterday that we are growing up." Robin said.

"I want to be here. We want to be here." The oldest Casey said.

"You are too young to participate in the meeting girls. When you get older you can come." He said just as his mother walked into the room. Talya was regal and beautiful though she had been sad since Gabriel's father had left before the triplets had been born.

"Sorry honey. I tried to control them but they would not listen to me." Talya said as she grabbed her daughters and left the room.

"As I was saying we need to check and make sure that everything works and we have to see if anything needs to be replaced." He said. "Bucky will you take half of the men to go and see what needs to be repaired. The other half can come with me and make sure that everything works. Esme will you take half of the women and check all of the bills and recites and make sure all of the accounting is up to date. Vivian will take the rest of you to make sure that we replace all that needs to be replaced."

The men and women separated and got to work. Vivian took all of the younger females who were mostly older than her with 3 being younger. "We have to check the linen make sure that it is all there. There has to be spare linen and enough for each room. Then we need to check and make sure that each room has a working hairdryer and has everything they need. I'll start in the kitchen with they younger girls making sure that we have enough stuff in the kitchen."

The older women went to work. "Kay, will you make sure that we have enough dishes, Emma look at the silver wear. Alex please go through the fridge and the pantries and see if we need more food. The numbers are on the paper on the counter. I'm gonna clean the kitchen."

"Vivian, why did you start liking Gabriel? I thought you did not like him? You told me that when we were talking like 2 months ago." Kay said. Kay was only 3 years younger than her and had been a good friend to her when she needed it. They were not close but what did it matter?

"This subject is complicated. Just do the work please if I feel like it all tell you about it latter." Vivian said getting annoyed.

"Come on Vivie. Please!!!" Alex pleaded.

"Fine. I'm only gonna tell you that it's none of your business, now stop." She said.

"We just want to know about it." Emma said.

"She said no." Gabriel walked into the room and sat down at the table. "Stop bothering Vivian please and do what she said." He walked over to the sink where she was washing dishes.

Vivian had heard the sexy voice of her mate and felt when he hugged her and put his head on her shoulder. "About half and hour more and then we'll all go and take a nap before dinner."

"They want to go on a run tonight? We went on one last night." Vivian was still exhausted from last night's run.

"They want to celebrate. I was going around and making sue that everyone was doing their job and over half of them said: 'Gabriel, we should celebrate this. You must be so happy.' or 'Are we running tonight to celebrate?' or 'I know everyone is tired but it isn't any day that Vivian comes to her scenes. She is lucky to have you.'"

"Who said that one?" Vivian looked up at him but new the answer. "Esme! Damn her!"

"We'll have 9 hours of sleep before we have had to go." With that he kissed her head and got up and left.

It was time for the run to start. Gabriel was standing by the forest. He motioned for her to join him at the front of the pack. Everyone was changed into their half forms. When Vivian got to Gabriel everyone started undressing and changing into their loup garou forms.

Gabriel howled his bass howl and Vivian howled her alto howl. They started to run. After a few minutes of running in rank (Gabriel and Vivian in front, Bucky in the back, the men around the women and children) they all broke into their family groups to run with them. Vivian stopped and half changed waiting for Gabriel to do the same.

He kissed her passionately. She got up and said, "Catch me if you can." She changed into her loup garou form and then started to run. She ran all around the forest. She looked back to see that Gabriel was not there. She looked around the clearing and could not see him. A minute latter Gabriel pounced on her and ran off.

Their game of cat and mouse lasted until just before dawn. They were both exhausted so they ran to their clothes and changed back. They put the clothes on and kissed for the hundredth time since the run had begun. They noticed that only a couple of pieces of clothes were still on the ground. They went to take a shower.

Vivian turned on the water in the shower and then climbed in. The hot water was very nice on her hurt muscles and on her sore skin. A moment latter Gabriel came into the shower to. "This is very nice." He heard her snort. "I thought you would like some company."

After their shower they dried off. Vivian went into the closet. "I think it is time for an early birthday present Gabby."

"My birthday is not for like 7 months."

"Hence the reason I called it an early birthday present. I'm coming out with your gift so close your eyes." Gabriel in mock fashion put him hands over his eyes but put them loosely there so that he could peek. He saw thought his hands that Vivian was wearing a silk robe, her favourite bath robe.

"No peaking Gabriel." Gabriel stood there naked with his hands over his eyes for a few minutes. "Oh boy do I have a nice view." Vivian said as she moved around the room.

"Get used to it." Was all he could say. Gabriel saw the room get brighter. The sun must be coming up. He thought. "Can I open my eyes now?"

"Yes." When he opened his eyes he saw that the heavy blinds were closed giving the room the effect of it being night. Candles were light all over the room and he saw Vivian standing in the robe in a position that said, come to me baby and make love with me.

"Where's my present?" Gabriel asked with curiosity in his voice.

"Right here," Vivian said. She stared walking towards Gabriel undoing the tie on her robe and letting it fall to the ground. She was wearing nothing but a very lacy braw with an equally lacy thong that had very sexy straps that flowed down her legs to her fishnet stockings. She looked like a lingerie model.

"Do you like your present?" she asked but before he answered he kissed and grabbed her and pulled her to him.

"Of course." She pulled him to the bed. As he kissed from her head to her lips to her neck and all the way down he untied all of the lacy on her legs. He pulled the thong down and off.

He started kissing her all over and he pulled the clasp of her bra open. He started playing with her breasts and kissing her all over. He bit her neck and she clawed at his back. They were in the heat of passion. Gabriel started moaning her name. Vivian purred while he touched and caressed her breasts.

"Vivian. I love you." "Gabriel I love you." They both said it at the same time. He kissed her again…

They woke up a few hours latter. They could not get up. "You are amazing Viv."

"So are you baby." They got out of bed and started their day or what was left of it.
