Author's Note: Hey you guys, thanks for your favorites of this story and your nice comments about how much you want more. So I SHALL give you more! Means I'm doing something right. So here is another chapter with my mind on it during work time. I figured I would back it up a few from the previous chapter and switch points of views here and there. Enjoy.

Dreams

Gina knew that must have bothered him and others must have found his hurt knee to be a problem. "I'm sure it doesn't make you weak, look at my injuries from my car accident." Gina got up slowly from him and turned around lifting her long hair and showed Cherif her scared neck and back from the surgery. "It hasn't been easy for me with physical therapy either, I even lost my boy friend who decided I changed too much from the accident and couldn't handle me being…broken I guess and went back to his ex-girlfriend…" Gina started choking on those last words and Cherif could see that it bothered her. Cherif knew she was in an accident since Gallagher told them about that but he didn't know about a guy dumping her for that…he got very angry about this for her, and he went to grab her into his arms. So she knew how it felt to be rejected for something that wasn't even her fault. He held her, as she cried a little.

He kissed her face and wiped away her tears, "I wouldn't have done that to you." Gina smiled a little at how sweet Cherif was being with her. She kissed him and it was full of passion and caring. It felt so good to be held in someone's arms again. However it didn't last too long before her cell phone went off playing Nickleback. She went to pick up her cell and found Gallagher was on the other end needing her assistance to pick him up. She agreed.

"Hey, I need your help over here at Jackson Square if you don't mind, thanks." Gallagher said urgently before disconnecting.

"I'm sorry, Cherif, I have to go pick up Gallagher…I would love to get to know you better and have a little bit more fun…but duty calls…." Gina said trying to find her clothes but with a snap her clothes that was on the floor now on her body and her hair done in a nice French braid. She smiled at Cherif. Cherif was dressed back in his clothes as well.

Cherif shrugged. "Figured it will go by faster if I done that." Gina thanked him again and gave him a hot, long passionate kiss and hugged him tight. Cherif all but melted by her gentle touch and kissed her back again not wanting her to go.

Gina pulled away not wanting to get too caught up in the moment. Even though she wouldn't have minded staying like that for a longer time but Gallagher needed her at the moment. Cherif gave her this heart warm look and longing like he didn't want to let her go. She ran out the door without looking back afraid she might change her mind.

Gina waved bye to Dev at the door and sprinted down 5 blocks to get to Jackson Square, however she knew by now that they lock the gates to the park so she had to speed up to jump the fence. She slightly cringed at the thought of the pain it will cause her. But she lunged at the fence and climbed it in record timing and landed with a soft thud and ran to see a fight with two Daimons and Gallagher getting his butt whipped today. So Gina took out her knife that was hidden in her shoe and went after one of the blonds closer to her. The Daimon smiled with glee to see his meal was coming to him. Gina didn't back down as she kicked him in the stomach. The Daimon bent over in pain and she saw her chance to go and stab him in the weak spot when her left palm started burning. She dropped the dagger to clench her hand…only to see a beautiful Greek mark appeared on it. Her eyes went big as she knew very well what the mark meant. She was mated to Cherif…a Katagaria no less.

Gallagher took a hold of Gina's hand and whistled. "Wow, your mated…to who?" He asked.

Gina blushed which showed exactly what she has been up to. "It was Cherif." She said lightly, "Do you think that he will be mad at me or upset that I'm not a Were-Hunter?"

Gallagher rolled his eyes, "I doubt it, if anything he would be jumping up and down since he has been waiting for a mate and probably lost all hope of getting one since they think his injured leg is a problem. "

Gina glared at him making him be quite. "Of course I know you don't mind and don't find that to be a problem."

Gallagher walked Gina backed to the front of the park, but seen that someone jumped the fence racing towards them. Gina instantly recognized it was Cherif, he stopped a few feet away and Gina couldn't help but smile.

Cherif, looked at Gallagher who gave him a slight nod of approval and Cherif went to Gina's side and gave her his arm. Gina slipped her arm through his and they all teleported back to Sanctuary. They ended up on the second floor since that is where they put the landing pad for all of their kind. They didn't want people to know. Gina hugged closer to Cherif and smiled up at him, he couldn't help but feel all warm and fuzzy inside as he gazed at his mate.

Dev was the first one to come over with Sam to congratulate them on becoming mates. Then Remi, Quinn, Amiee, Fang, and everyone else who worked at Sanctuary. Gina was blushing as she held on to Cherif's hand. He didn't know if she was scared, nervous, or happy. He hoped she was happy as he was even though neither one of them expected it. He wanted to ask her as soon as they were alone what they were going to do, and hoped she chose to stay with him, she knew what was riding on this. And Cherif couldn't stand the thought of never getting to have sex again. That just sickened him, but the thought of not wanting anyone but Gina was ok with him.

"Soooo, about that corn beef and cabbage." Gallagher said rubbing his hands together.

"Ooooo, oooo, me too, I want some!" Gina said raising her free hand. "I'm starving from helping Gallagher. I need some nourishment." She grinned at Cherif.

"Well, if my lady is hungry I must obliged and go do as she wishes." He said and did a slight bow of respect. He made Gina giggle and she did a mock curtsey back to him. Cherif escorted both Gina and Gallagher back to the Peltier's place in the back. He already sent off warning messages ot the res of the family to make Gina feel right at home since she was his mate. He wanted her to feel at home with him especially and not want to leave him.

Cherif had 3 weeks to make Gina fall in love with him before the mating marks will disappear or become permanent. If Gina decided not to mate with him, then he will become impotent until Gina's dying days, never being able to look at another woman as long as she lived. Were-hunters weren't able to cheat on their mates only the females. But he didn't get that vibe off of Gina, he seen that she was honest and loyal. He wanted to show her that he would be a good mate for her and hopefully their future kids. If Aimee and Fang could have kids, so can they, and also Dev and Sam, so there was hope for them as well. But he shook those thoughts out of his head as he felt Gina squeeze his hand probably because she was going to meet the rest of the family.

"Don't worry, hun, everyone is going to adore you." He said reassuringly. She had this faint smile and worry on her face that he wanted to kiss her.

"I know, but…its everyone on your side…and I know you guys are really fast on the whole thing and accepting on it…just…nervous that's all. I haven't told my parents yet since it mainly just happened." She rested her head on his arm as they climbed the steps toward the kitchen area. Gallagher ahead of them only a few times looking back to see how Gina was doing.

Gallagher wanted to give her time to her mate…and wanted to make sure that Cherif behaved himself. He understood the whole thing, but baffled that it was Gina chosen for it. He was going to be amused when her parents found out. He wanted to be there so they won't blow up on the new couple. Gallagher wasn't worried about the Peltier family accepting Gina in the group, it just is.

Gina had to brace herself as a few of the Peltier family members were already in the kitchen it seemed preparing dinner for them. She smiled.
