"Is there a reason all of you are here?"

"What? No, we are just here to spend time with you," Lilia says.

"Yeah! I feel like Zane is always hogging you, like what about us?" Hiro adds.

Callie and Lilia look at Hiro with wide eyes. He responds with a what-did-I-do-wrong gesture.

"Uh ok," I say with an awkward laugh.

I was laying on the hammock outside when these three pulled up beach chairs and surrounded me. In all honesty, I was hoping to catch some extra hours of sleep. Zane had the same nightmare last night and we both ended up waking much earlier than we are used to. The good thing is that we have figured out he only gets these nightmares on full moons, so we know to be prepared now.

Hiro looks down at his phone then back up at me.

"Alessandra! We have to go to the front of the house right now," he says before grabbing my hand and dragging me out of the hammock.

"Why?"

My feet drag against the dirt as I'm practically dragged to my front yard.

"Your car is on fire!"

"What? Oh my god-"

As we round the house, the vision in front of me halts my words. Zane's gray Jeep Wrangler is loaded up with coolers, surfboards, and luggage. His biceps flex through his dark blue shirt as he loads up the stuff into the back of his car. Something is on fire but it's not the car.

"Are we going somewhere?"

He turns around and looks at me sheepishly.

"I thought it was about time I took you out on a date," he says with a grin.

I let out a laugh before launching myself at him. He catches me and swings me around with his arms around my waist.

"Where are we going?" I ask, looking up at him.

"Hmm, I guess you'll just have to be patient, little wolf," he replies before dropping a quick kiss on the tip of my nose. I resist the urge to pout at the mention of waiting but control myself.

"Don't knock my sister up!" Ricardo shouts, his hands holding a box of stuff labeled "Alessandra".

"Don't worry Ric, we're just going to practice," Zane responds with his usual smirk.

Ricardo looks about ready to charge over here so I latch onto Zane's bicep and pull him to the Jeep.

"Can you tell me where we are going now?" I ask, once we've settled in.
