A/N: I'm SO SO SO SORRY FOR THE DELAY! Some family drama that needed my attention. No worries though I'm back and ready to write!

I own nothing…

Remus POV

I stood behind the door of the little cafe just staring at her. She is truly a beauty. But why would a girl like that have such a sad look on her face? Had someone caused her pain? If so then whoever they are better be out of town with me here...wait. WHAT! I don't know this girl and I have protective feelings for her. Hmm... Odd.

I took a deep breath and walked in with a kind smile on my face hoping that none of my nervousness is showing. I nearly tripped when her gaze met my own. Her eyes are a soft brown with a burning fire lighting the, but there is also this sadness that if not careful will consume the fire she has. Our gazes lingered together and I felt a strange pull towards her. What is that?

I kept walking towards her (our gazes never wavered) and sat in the unoccupied seat in front of her. I ran my eyes over her body and noticed the tattoo on her arm. And remembered the stories that came with this place.

She's a wolf.

"Can I ask a personal question?" I asked hoping that the imprinting thing was in a way true.

She looked at me and the realization in her eyes told me she knew what I wanted to know.

"I didn't mean to I swear it just happened my accident! I know you have your son and your wife and–" She cried but I cut her off.

"Wait, wife? Dora died two years ago," I said trying to appease her.

She stopped crying but the tears still fell. I moved to the seat closest to her and moved to wipe away the tears. Her skin was feverish and oddly comforting.

"Your wife died?" She asked her voice laced with pain.

I nodded my gazes never left hers.

"I'm sorry for your loss," she said taking my free hand in both of hers.

I gave her a small grin and noticed that it didn't bother me when she said it. Or hurt as much. Dora was my first love she'll always have her place in my heart but I have to move on.

I gave her a nod and continued to say what wanted when she came in through the door of the store.

"I hope if its fine by you...I want to get to know you," I said trying to keep the anxiety from showing in my voice.

Her eyes widened.

Oh, Merlin! I've done it now!

Then she nodded and a smile appeared on her face.

"I would like that. Yes, I would like that very much," she said with a delightful laugh.

She moves forward and wraps her arms around my neck in a hug. I hold her to me as if for dear life and nearly made us fall when I heard whispering from the other room, "Severus please tell me we can find a home here, please!"

Oh dear. Hermione wants to move here, well I should have seen that coming.

"Looks like we are going to have more family here than you expected Remus," Leah said laughing.

I nodded with enthusiasm and then bombshell hit me. How am I going to explain to Leah about magic?

Leah POV

He wants to get to know me! He wants to give this..us a chance! I was wrong by speculating that he was married but who wouldn't think that of a person if they saw a kid in their arms?

I looked up at him when him when he started to chuckle. I was going to ask him what was funny when I heard Hermione talking to Severus.

"Severus please tell me we can find a home here, please!"

Well, it looks like we are going to be welcoming more people into the tribe than will be expected when the time comes for Remus to be introduced to the Council of Elders. I put my head on his shoulder and inhaled his woodsy sent and closed my eyes. It's nice to have a mate and experience it for yourself instead of seeing it from the others' minds for once.
