Peter healed pretty quickly, in between his healing factor and with the care of Melissa he was soon back on his feet.

It was a new moon, nothign but the slight twinkle of the stars lit the night but quickly it was clouded over by dark rain clouds, regardless this night was still perfect.

"So how long have you been a-" Melissa tried to find her words.

"A werewolf?" Peter shrugged, his skin and hair was back to being perfect and his smile, regardless the pain he was in before always lit up the darkest night, "All my life, I was born with my curse."

"Or gift," She smiled.

"You can always find a silver lining, can't you?" Peter toyed with her.

"I can always try."

Peter smiled gently, "You're so beautiful when you care."

"I was so scared I was going to loose you," Melissa confessed as she turned away, "I don't ever wanna feel that way ever again."

Peter pulled her in close, 'I'm lucky,' he thought. 'So lucky...' Peter's mouth was dry and all he wanted to do was to reach out to the woman he had fallen in love with and stroke her hair, caress her skin and just feel how solid she was. He wanted to ensure his eyes weren't lying to him, that she really was there and not just a spirit there to haunt him

"I love you Peter..." Melissa whispered into the night. Peter reached for her, his fingers foreign in his own eyes. His palms found her hips and he gently brushed his fingers over her skin, over her stomach and to her lips.

Peter stared them down before flicking his eyes to hers and leaned in for a kiss sweeter than any chocolates, softer than hundreds of roses and breathed out a more sincere proof of how he felt for Melissa McCall than any diamond ring ever could, "I love you too."

Melissa quickly fell into his love, she felt safe and happy, she felt strong and cared for but most of all she felt the untainted, undying and emotional bond they had.

"Wolves mate for life," Peter's hands held her face, "That means I'll never leave you. Ever."

Melissa wanted to cry, she hadn't felt so loved in such a long time it was overwhelming.

"Don't cry," He kissed away the single escaped tear.

Finally the rains fell, the bottom dropped, like the earth too wept over their love.

Peter and Melissa held hands and raced for cover. Once seeking shelter in a near by gazebo Peter just laughed and laughed. His voice echoed through the rains and Melissa joined in on the laughter, but the laughter ended when Peter kissed her briefly on the lips.

Melissa didn't remember willing her body to move, but in a few steps, she stood in front of Peter, their bodies separated by the wooden railing. The rain poured down on her, instantly soaking her hair and clothes. Melissa could feel herself lightly tremble from the cold and lifted her right hand to grasp part of Peter's leather jacket, stepping as close as she could to where the wooden bars were pressed against her legs.

Peter chuckled, flashing her his infamously perfect smile. He let go of the rail with one hand and wrapped it around her as though to keep her warm. Melissa rested her other hand on his left arm, searching his face.

It amazed her how human he came off. More often than not, she forgot he was even a werewolf. Forgot he wasn't fully human. Melissa brought her hand up and tugged at his coat, forcing his face down and drew his lips to hers in a kiss. They were bitterly cold and slick from the rain, but they brought warmth to her heart. When she broke the kiss, she could feel his warm breath on her face. It brought chills to her, wanting to wrap herself in that warmth. Melissa took a step back and Peter smiled at her, so much love in his eyes. He turned to leave but she reached out for him and grabbed his sleeve. In the end, she wasn't alone and never would be alone. If she needed him, he would be a phone call or text away. If she needed someone to talk to, he would always listen. If she needed to feel safe, he was there to pull her into his arms in a heartbeat. Melissa was never alone, and as their bodies entwined, dancing to the rhythm of the storm, all she wanted from him was to kiss her in the rain, kiss her goodnight, and kiss her until the world ended and time ceased to exist.

Peter then landed on one knee, pulling out the most perfect diamond ring, "Melissa McCall, would you make me the happiest man in the world?"

Tears mixed with rain flooded down her face, every moment of her life she dreamed of true love, not forced or heat of the moment. She searched for a man who could save her life, a man who would never leave her side no matter what and on this night she found that man, "Yes!" She exclaimed with passion leaping into his arms.

Peter gently slid the ring on her finger, and kissed her lips long and passionately. Melissa held his hand tight has the rain washed away all his scorched past and brought rebirth of a new life that laid ahead for them, a life full of love and passion, a life full of trial and tribulation but with hope and a strong will, a fairy tale ending.
