Sorry for the day guys! I am really sorry. School is back and I already have a ton of stuff to do. This is going to be short but i know you guys are dying for an update. I know the story seems rushed, but that's how I want it. Whatever my next work is, it won't move as fast. Since this is my first work, i want to get it over with and start on something new! Anyway!

Paige's pov

It's been two weeks since Mason brought me lunch and he has not stopped being so dang sweet. We haven't made love since the first time because I feel that he has something on his mind, but he won't tell me what. It might have to do with the conversation I heard him have with Jacob the other day.

They were saying something about it is time but I don't know what the heck they are talking about. I hate that Mason hasn't felt the need to talk to me. I don't think it's fair of him to make me tell him every little detail when he can keep whatever from me. I think we need to have a little chat when he gets home.

I am currently sitting at my desk staring at my Pre calculus homework like it was written in French. Now I'm starting to wonder if making the decision to stay at school was a terrible one. I know I said I was tired of going to school but I think I was just tired of Jana and her minion's bill crap. It's been 100 times better without her there.

I also felt bad for having Mason make Will, Cole, and Alexis go out of their way to be nice to me at school and just abandon them when we just started to get close. So yeah. I'm still at school. Did I mention I kind of regret that decision? Gah! I hate homework.

It's a Friday night and Mason is 'taking care of business' so I I have nothing better to do than this crap homework. I'm about 10 seconds away from setting this entire desk on fire when my phone goes off. I have a new message from Alexis so I slide my finger across the screen to read it.

Jana trial is tomorrow. I hope the bitch dies.

-Alexis.

Wait! Her trial is tomorrow and Mason didn't think it was important to let me know. Oh when he gets here he is going to get it. I am do angry right now I slam my textbook closer and throw it across the room. I am so mad I can't even sit still.

I head downstairs and go straight to the fridge and get some pickles. Why pickles? I don't know I am just so mad I could eat anything. Being stuck in this huge house can be depressing so I grab my phone and call Alexis.

It rings twice before she answers. "Hey! Are you excited for tomorrow? Cause I'm kind of excited. What do you think I should wear to an execution?"

I suddenly got angry again. "We'll I see everyone except me knew about it. Please come over before I stab something named Mason. I want to be calm for who he gets home. So come entertain me?"

"Damn. So lover boy didn't tell you? Well now he is going to be pissed at me for spilling the secret."

"No he didn't tell me. I thought we were partners but apparently I'm just a child who can't handle information so he feels the need to keep important information away from me because he is an ass."

I literally start shaking. I really don't know why I am so mad but I can't explain it. I am just furious!

"Okay look sweetie. I'm on my way. I'll be there in like 5 minutes. Try no to break anything okay?"

"No promises." I mumbled before hitting the end button.

Mason better pray that I am calm enough to talk to him when he gets home.

Exactly five minutes later I hear the door open and I march into the foyer. "I'm going to kill him when I see him!"

"Kill who? Babe what's wrong?"

Well that isn't Alexis. Just the sight of him made me want to strangle something. So instead of strangling him, I punched him in the chest.

"What the hell Paige. What was that for?" He looked completely shocked and confused as to why I would hit him.

"Oh don't act so innocent you freaking liar!" I screamed at him and I couldn't help but punch him again. I mean I knew it didn't hurt him but it kind of gave me satisfaction from hitting something.

"Babe. I haven't lied to you. What are you talking about? And stop hitting me." He grabbed my hands in his larger ones and I had to ignore the tingling sensation that I felt. I had to concentrate on being mad at him.

"Why didn't I know that Jana's trial is tomorrow?"

Mason's eyes went wide and he sucks in air. I took the chance to snatch my hands out of his and i succeeded.

"W-who told you about that?"

"It doesn't matter! What matters is that YOU should have been the one to tell me when you first found out about it. But you didn't. You walked around here like this didn't include me but guess what! I am the reason ra happening. Did it ever occur to you that maybe I would like to be informed on this matter since I was the one who got attacked by some psycho bitch?!"

The door opened again and in walked Alexis. Late. She was supposed to keep me calm but oh well, this isn't going too bad. I mean I haven't tried to strangle Mason for basically lying to me.

"Aw man! Did I miss the good stuff? Wait don't move or say a word. I need to get some popcorn and my phone. Cole and Will wont believe that the perfect couple is actually fighting." I couldn't help but roll my eyes at my best friend. Sometimes she reminded me of a child. But that isn't the point right now.

"Aexis." Mason sighed. "Not now. And babe. I didn't tell you because the council won't even let you attend the meeting. They feel that these type of things are sacred and shouldn't be viewed by outsiders."

So now I'm not good enought to visit the trial where my attacker would get her punishment. Just like I though. Mason's pack hate the fact that I'm human. They could pull a few strings and turn their heads because I am their Luna, but no, they hate me. No use in arguing.

"Whatever. I'm going to bed." And with that i walked up stairs and headed into our bedroom. I heard Mason calling after me but I chose to ignore him. I needed to be alone to think about my current situation. How am I expected to help lead a group of people if they look down on me? Oh yeah that's right. It isn't possible. It wouldn't surprise me if they let Jana go with a slap on the wrist because technically I'm not a wolf and he didn't do anything wrong.

Whatever. They can all go to hell. I took off all my clothes until I was left in just my underwear. I slipped on one of Mason's shirts andgot into the bed. I turned off the lamp and closed my eyes.

I heard Mason come to bed but I didn't move. I am not mad but he still isn't forgiven for keeping information from me.

I felt Mason scoot closer to me and he wrapped his arm around me so he was spooning me. I sighed in content. No matter what he did, I still loved being I his arms.

He kissed the back of my head and leaned to whisper. "I'm sorry babe. I love you." I turned and gave him a small smile. "I love you too Mason." I leaned in and gave him a small kiss before i turned back over and fell asleep.
