*~*Breanna's POV*~*
Zaley thought I was acting cool and nonchalant when I was with her last night. The truth is, I was nervous as hell. How could I not be? This was my first date with Zayden. We've been mated for nearly a month, but we haven't been on a date yet. This was the first one, and I was worried that I wouldn't be good enough.
I knew that, given the choice, Zayden would have waited to find a mate. He wanted to go away for college, to get time away from the group of the family and be independent. Yes, he was happy to have his family, and he loved being a triplet and quad all at the same time, but he still longed to be in a place where people didn't see him as one part of a bigger entity. A fraction of a whole person. He just wanted to be Zayden, not Zachary, Zander, and Zayden. And I wanted this for him as well.
