Chapter 3: Familiar Stranger

Brittany:

“Hop in,” I rolled my eyes, seeing how arrogant he is acting, did I tell him I need a lift, stupid, I do need a lift and I am fucking stranded in this no-good place.

“No thanks, I will just walk,” I said, hoping he would turn his ignition and drive away.

“Are you kidding me? Do you have an idea where you are?” He scoffed.

I rolled my eyes at him, “Just keep moving, I am waiting for someone,” that was a lie, even if I tried to convince myself that Ethel would come back for me, the chances of him returning were fifty-fifty, If Ethel was contemplating of coming back for me, he would have returned like yesterday.

But even if he is not coming back, I am not going to jump in a stranger's car, never, brother had told me a thousand times, that no matter my situation, I shouldn’t jump in a stranger's car, that it’s dangerous to jump in a man’s car. Wow! Just wow wasn’t Ethel, my boyfriend, still, it was dangerous to jump in his car, trusting him blindly, and now, I am left in nowhere, stupid, I should have trusted any word coming from his mouth.

“Really, so I could live with the guilt that I put another female in danger if you didn’t get out of here alive?” he scoffed, as his anger seemed visible on his muscles, yet I wasn’t attempting to bend to the window so I could see the fellow inside the car.

“Don’t worry, nothing will happen to me,” I said in one breath, as I tried to take a step from the side of his car, but I heard the sound of the car door open, and he came out, leaning on the car while resting his arms on the car top, he was glaring at me, yet I pay no attention on the scowl on his face, his physique turned me on, geez, I thought brother was the most handsome man that I have ever see but this hunk standing in front of me, is the mate to the goddess, like the biblical Absalom. He was adorned with flawless white skin, his nose and jawbone were well arranged on his face and his tiny lips were kissable, yet his brown eyes were beautiful although they were sending daggers, they still looked perfect and his Viking gold hair fell on his shoulder, what a Greek god, I murmured to myself.

“Get into the car, I do not have all day to babysit a brat,” my eyes widened as he referred to me as a brat.

“I never did ask you to babysit me, so you should as well turn your car around and leave.” He didn’t argue with me, he pulled his door and slipped back into his car, I was thinking he was going to leave when the window of the passenger's seat rolled down, pushing his face forward. “Hey, hop in, I do not have all day, and I do not want to block other road users, if you don’t come in now, you might not see any car passing this direction for the next two hours,” I shut my eyes, hoping that he is lying. What if he is telling the truth, and it’s getting dark, maybe, he is not a bad person, he looks gentle, just maybe, I will be safe with him, I could ask him to assist me back home. I said mentally as I pulled the door of his car and seat beside him.

I don’t know if he is a pervert but at this point, I don’t care, I need to get out of here, the place is a bit creepy.

When I shut the door beside me, he tilted his head towards me, my heart skipped, letting out my breath, and then a loud growl escaped his throat as my scent hit his nostrils, sitting beside him was unbearable and I was Unknowingly creating havoc in his head as he created on my body. He was a stranger, yet he looked like someone I had met before, my brain couldn’t process where we had met but this stranger felt familiar.

He tilted his head towards me and said, “Why do I feel I know this scent.” He inhaled more but I tried to mask the feelings he was creating in me, his voice was alluring.

“Was that one of your pick-up lines, oh please, it’s old, how old are you?” I asked avoiding his gaze while shutting my eyes tight, with my thighs pressed tightly together. He moved his eyes to my legs and murmured.

"Why do I need a pickup line when I could get whatever I want in a blink and you are not an exception, I could make you strip without moving a muscle.” I bite my lower lips, trying not to make a funny noise that will give me up. “wait, don’t tell me, my closeness is making you wet your pants already?”

“What? You jerk.” I said in annoyance turning my gaze from him to the window avoiding his gaze.

 

 

Jamie:

“What? you jerk.” She said turning her gaze to the other side of the windows, I know that she is annoyed with my words, but you wouldn’t blame me, I had to do something, if I didn’t annoy her, she was going to notice I am having a boner and she is going to think that I am a pervert.

Geez, the very minute I saw her standing at the side of the road, she awakened something in me, something that made me stop my car. That is one thing I don’t do, stop to pick up a girl on the roadside and to think it’s a lonely path.

Even if the girl looked stranded but no, for the first time I did, I could imagine the humor on my beta and Gamma's faces, when I told them what I did today.

And to think that, I was having dirty thoughts about her and Hunter was going crazy in my head. “what the fuck Hunter, can you be calm, you are going to kill me.” I scolded my wolf, jumping over a girl that he did not know about.

And when I asked her to get in, she didn’t want to, she acted stubborn, I had to get out of the car, to persuade her to come with me, although my conscience would have pricked me if I hadn’t helped her and something happened to her but I think I am attracted to her.

And when I get down, my entire being frozen, she was super hot, she should be eighteen or nineteen, and she fucking reminded me of Tiffany, her grey eyes and blonde hair, were the same, if Tiffany was here, she would have grown into such a lovely lady, although I didn’t know why I was comparing her with Tiffany, she is just beautiful. She should be about 5’7. She had that perfect height that I love in females.

Her bosom were perfect and it made me think that they could fit my strong hands. Shit Jamie, you are being an asshole. Then I called her a brat but it didn’t go well with her, she rolled her eyes at me, which is typical of Tiffany. My knees were getting weak and my wolf wasn’t helping matters, so I slipped back into my car and rolled the window down pushing the door for her to enter.

I told her to get in, I did not want to block other road users, after much contemplation, she finally got into the car shutting the door behind her, that enticing scent of vanilla and honey filled my nostrils, and I forgot how to breathe, this woman why did she smell so heavenly. I titled my head and then I asked her, “Why do I feel I know this scent?” she thinks is one of my pickup lines but fuck that wasn’t the truth, I wasn’t smelling this for the first time and then she pressed her thighs together it makes me want to tease her, if my hunch was right, she is getting wet, which means I am not the only one affected with the proximity when she tilted her head to the left avoiding my gaze, I turned the ignition.

“Where should I bring you, Miss?” I asked after composing myself, she moved her eyes to me.

“Brittany,”

“What?” I asked confused, was that the name of a place or a pack, I think I know the names of every pack surrounding here, I no one sounds like that.

“I mean, my name is Brittany, and I am going to…” I was waiting for her to finish her words but her eyes flashed in pain, I wondered what was going on with her. She bite her lower lips harder than usual, something was wrong, then her eyes move outside the window, staring at the sky, my eyes move in her direction, the moon is already up, fuck, she might be having her wolf today.

“No, no please, this can’t be happening?” she said with shivering lips.

“I think you are about to shift.”
