I sighed and shook my head. Stubborn puppy. "Okay, love", I finally conceded, tired of arguing. "I'll get some water, and we can go after you drink". With another sigh, I got up and kissed his head. "Just wait for me here, okay?".<br/><br/>I went to the kitchen and filled a bowl with cold water, bringing it back into the room. As I set it down for him to drink, my mind wandered off. How would they receive him? Would I get some backlash for bringing him in the pack? How would my brother react? I knew he didn't like Jacen, and that he would have me married to one of his friends if possible. Well, it was too late now. I had already found my mate, and I had every intention to be with him, no matter what.<br/><br/>Laying by Jacen's side, I watched him for a moment. "I love you, puppy. Don't worry, okay? No matter what, nobody will harm you. Anyone wishing to hurt you, you have to get past me first."
