Chapter 4- Tag Your It!

Chapter Four

The tour was whether boring to be honest. I had seen most of it before at different times so I was curious why Lilly had suggested it. Oliver kept his distance not wanted to get to close to me, my human might wear off. He rolled his eyes at my enthusiasm over the training grounds and the gym. Every thing he pointed out he did it clipped as not wanting to talk. I couldn’t help but think that after being gone for 4 years he was not the best person to give this tour and that is why his answers were short he was reacquainting himself too. Pride shown bright in he eyes and not the ugly pride he has when he looks down on me but pride of his packs accomplishments. I stopped walking looking at the back yard of the pack house watching the pups run around playing tag, laughing and having fun. Goddess it must be awesome to be so carefree. 

“Are you just going to stand there?” Oliver asked stiffly

“Nope” I approached him cautiously and slipped of my sandals “Tag your it!” I shouted then ran off toward the path in the woods. I peek behind me he is staring at me in shock before he takes off after me. I have to concentrate really hard to control my speed to maintain this act of being human. He catches up with me quickly.

“Tag” well that shocks me as his hand touches my shoulder. What gets me even more is for the first time he is laughing and it sounds amazing. I dart after him. I can tell he is slowing himself. Even slowing himself he is faster than me so I have to allow a little of my speed to show. Just as I am about to touch him I tripped over a rock and knock him down, me landing on top of him. Some how he must have turned during the fall catching me because we are both laying on the ground laughing hard. Goddess his laugh is manly and so sexy I can feel my lace panties dampening. He must smell my arousal because all of the sudden I am underneath him. His erection pressing into my core through his jeans. He moves my hair out of my face gently looking down at me with his eyes dark and a small smile on his face. He moves his hips rubbing against me and I can’t help the moan that slips out my lips. Belle is literally drooling in my head filling my mind with all kinds of naughtiness. As soon as the moan escaped my lips Oliver is up and pacing infront of me. I get myself up off the floor of the forest brushing off my dress. Oliver turned to me angerily.

“Was this your plan, trying to get me to select you a weak human.”

“Oh I guess you caught me. I meant to trip on that stone and fall.” My voice dripping with sarcasm “I knew it was there this whole time. It was in no way an accident, it could not possibly have been me trying to run around without a care laughing and having fun. You are all I ever dream of, my only desire. God you are full of yourself!” I state stomping away from him back to the pack house not wanting him to hear there was some truth in my words. Not wanting him to see the tears building in my eyes. 

I mindlink Erik “Can you call Jason maybe we can meet at his place and go for a run. I know it is early but I need to go.” I have always been able to mindlink with Erik. I have never tried mindlinking Jason I assume because he is pack associated he can only link with in the pack and family. I know that Jason will let Zander know I want to run and Zander will make sure there are no other wolves in the area. I meet Erik at the front of the pack house. He grabs my hand and we run off toward Jason’s house but not before we hear a growl in the distance. I guess Oliver saw me holding hands running off with Erik.

‘Okay Belle we are gonna shift but I have to have you promise me not to tell Oliver or his Wolf about us okay?’

‘Yes please just let me run I need to get all this frustration out.’

We reach Jason’s backyard he is there waiting for us wearing basketball shorts. Is that a hickey on his chest? He nods to us and we all 3 begin to strip off our clothes there is no shame in this bunch. I take off running toward the woods and shift in an instant into my beautiful silver wolf. No I am not a white wolf my fur has a shiny silver tint with darker grey on the tips of my ears. I am however bigger than most she-wolves well even bigger than most males. My eyes are a weird rose gold color. I may be ordinary in human form but I am beautiful in this form. I continue to run through the woods bounding over fallen branches. I love the feel of the earth beneath my paws. I can sense Erik and Jason behind me but they don’t catch up. We stop at a little stream to have a drink and splash around, that is when 2 more wolves join us, I had sensed them before they arrived. The large dark grey wolf is Zander’s wolf Bentley and the golden brown one is Lilly wolf Ivy, just like her human form she is rather small. Zander licks my snout and Lilly rubs along my body trying to show me affection. The feeling of rejection fills my heart. Then the pain begins and my mouth feels like it is on fire. My wolf lets out a low whine, the four others stare at me confused. I can’t deal with this here not in my wolf form the pain is greater. Oliver kissing another, rejecting me further. I take off running, not back to Jason’s house or even the packhouse. I go home to the only home I once felt safe. Zander barks loudly at me following, they are all following. Zander hates when I cross the boundary line, he won’t follow but Erik does his rust colored wolf sprinting to catch up. As I reach the old wooden doorway to my grandparent’s cabin I transform back to my human self pushing the door open running and collapsing on the old bed. I am naked when Erik comes in laying on the bed, curled in a ball staring at the wall. My face emotionless except for the tears gliding down my cheeks. I am stronger than this, I will the pain away focusing on that luckily it appears Oliver is content with just kissing another. The pain quickly stops thankfully all I know is that after today I am exhausted. I am exhausted from being moved into the pack house, exhausted from dealing with my mate, just exhausted from hiding myself even though now I do it more to protect those I love including Oliver. Erik picks me up carrying me in his arms back toward the boundary. When we crossed over Jason, Zander and Lilly were gone but they must have dropped off some clothes.
