Jerica POV Leave it to him to keep giving me mixed signals and confusing me. I run after him to try to catch up; I get pretty close but not enough to bet him. Without my wolf he is strong and faster. He will not get to keep that advantage for long with my birthday just a couple months away. After a moment the stream comes into view. I see Jake slow and strip off his shirt and his short, leaving only his boxers when he jumps into the stream. Nudity was not a big thing in wolf packs but since I had not shifted yet I had not been exposed to it as much. I knew that’s why Jake kept on his boxers, If I had my wolf he probably would have shifted to get here faster. A little out of breath I come to the edge of the stream. Panting I laugh at him splashing around in the water and shake my head at him. “Let’s go Jerica, get in the water!” He shouts and splashes at me. I can only smile and roll my eyes at him as I slide my t shirt over my head and expose myself in a sport bra. I don’t miss the
Trixie POV The church rush had just cleared out of the diner, and I was cleaning the table that had just paid and left when I noticed someone sat down at my booth out of the corner of my eye. Taking the towel, a was cleaning the table with back behind the counter and walking to that table while pulling out my ordering pad when I looked up to see Trevor from the Great Wolf club from Friday night! He is staring right back at me with those gorgeous green eyes; I feel my face heat under his stare and knowing that I now too, am staring. I close the path between myself and the table, feeling drawn to him I feel a smile come across my face. “Our paths cross again,” I start “It’s Trevor, right?” I would not forget his name but that doesn’t mean I have to let him know that. A sly smirk graces his lips as he nods; “Trixie, right?” Now we both were playing a game. Neither wanting to reveal just how interested we were in the other. “That’s right.” I give him a small nod, the smile never leavin
Trevor’s POV I walk out to my car, my wolf proud that we had gotten our mate to agree to go on a date with us. Especially since she didn’t know we are her mate yet. I am so pleased she said yes. I need to plan something well thought out but not over the top I can tell that she won’t be impressed by something overly expensive, She seems down to earth and from what Jerica told me about Trixie, she comes from working class parents. Giving me the impression that she would not like seeing someone waste money on something trivial as a first date, even if it was to win her heart. I don’t know what I was thinking going behind the counter. It was clear she was surprised and pulled back from me. I am just glad it didn’t keep her from agreeing to dinner with me. My wolf and I were annoyed she wasn’t paying attention and burned her hand with the coffee. Driving back to the pack house I allowed myself to play over and over in my head her walking around the counter bringing my coffee and her s
Trixie POV As I walked home after Sunday’s shift I pulled out my phone and shot a message to our group chat: I got a surprise visit from the guy I spilled beer on at the Great Wolf at the diner today. He asked to take me to dinner this weekend. What did you say – Jerica Oooooo, I hope you said yes he was a hottie!!! – Abby What are you going to wear? – Janet They all replied within a minute. To my message. I decided to let them know I had said yes but I needed more from Jerica. I wonder what she was thinking right now. I agreed to dinner. Trevor isn’t bad on the eyes that’s for sure lol. I have no clue what I am going to wear yet, but I have time to plan or shop for an outfit! I sent back out to the group chat. Then a private text to Jerica. Hey Jerica, Funny thing happened after I agreed to the date. He said he would pick me up and get my address from you? I hoped she would be forth coming. There is no way she dated someone like him and didn’t tell us. I am not sure how
I quickly looked around to see if anyone saw my embarrassing fall and that is when I saw it. It was big like a bear but stood more like a large dog. The streetlight reflected off on it’s eyes. Could it be a wolf? I stood up slowly and it took a step back further into the tree line. I looked straight ahead quickly hoping that it didn’t know that I had saw it. I started walking slowly at first because I was scared it would jump out and attack me but also because my knees were aching from hitting the concrete sidewalk. After about ten or so steps I couldn’t help but look back over. It was there still! It was like it was watching me going down the sidewalk. I turned back around in the direction I was going to my house and started picking up my pace. I could hear it! It was moving faster in the woods beside me. IT WAS FOLLOWING ME! Stalking me like prey I am sure of it! I glanced back moving faster I didn’t see It in the tree line anymore, but I could still hear it. I was only about 3 mi
Trevor’s POVMondays were normally dull and lots of business and paperwork. I was more upbeat than usual felt a little lighter. Maybe it was because I had met my mate and I knew I would be taking her out this weekend. I had planned on telling my Beta and Gamma today and looping in Jake as well he was typically a gamma too and a close friend.Since Saturday Jake and Joseph have been taking shifts guarding her at her home and work at the diner. I would have to loop them in the sooner the better. For all I know they could have suspected it already. I had set a meeting for after lunch with the three of them to join me in my office to break the news. Jerica said her and Trixie were going to get some coffee after Jerica’s class today. She would also protect her friend even without wolf if there was trouble, She would be able to mind link us and we could be there quickly.Patrol reports had been normal. A couple rogue sightings here and there but nothing out of the ordinary, just slightly mo
Jake’s POVI dash out of the house stripping my clothes quickly to shift and pick them back up in my mouth I would clear the distance much faster in wolf form to get to my mate and future Luna. In just a matter of minutes a am at the tree line of the city and grab a pack SUV from the line there. I shift back into my human form and take off flying to get to them. They wouldn’t be dumb enough to attack in the city but I knew the girls would likely head back to Trixie’s house which was out of the city on the other side. I sped into the parking lot of the coffee shop they visited most to see them through the window talking. I thought it would be best to mind link Alpha and let him know that I made it here.Alpha, I am with Trixie and Jerica. They are safe.Thank you. – AlphaThat’s all he said when he cut the mind link forcibly shoving me out I am sure to focus on his tasks at hand. Dealing with the rogues that were stupid enough to cross him and our patrol. I take a couple deep breaths t
Jake’s POVProbably wasn’t my brightest idea, but I decided to listen in on their conversation.I found my wolf ear perking up to hear the girls talk while I kept a perimeter around Trixie’s house. I heard them go up the stairs and into what I assume is Trixie’s room.“Are you going to tell me what’s going on with you and the parking garage guy?” I heard Trixie question Jerica.I heard Jerica sigh loudly before answering, “It’s just complicated.”“Already? Explain. Don’t you like him? He is really cute. Did he do something?” Trixie was persistent that was for sure. I also felt flattered, our future Luna thought I was cute! Jerica had to think so too.“I am not sure how to explain. I am drawn to him and I do like him. He is really cute, “ I could hear the smile on her face, “He did something, but nothing bad. He kissed me. It was great and I felt wanted but then he stopped it.” Jerica offered.“You didn’t want him to stop, did you?” Trixie asked, her voice going up an octave.“I’m not s
Trevor POVMyself, Eric, Jake and Joe all waited downstairs for Alpha Brock, Charles and Alex to finally come down. "Good Morning, I trust you all slept well?" I greeted them. Charles nodded, "Indeed. The bed in my room is impeccably soft. I love it." Charles stretched and laughed to himself. "Perhaps you all would like some breakfast before discussing business?" Eric asked them. "Coffee is fine for me, never been much of a breakfast person myself. But Charles and Alex may disagree with me." He looks to them. "Speak for yourself." Alex grumbles, clearly he was not a morning person. "As far as business goes I believe we have already came to a decision. We agree to the alliance." Alpha Brock puffs out his chest. Eric smiles. "That is excellent news!" I say. "We need to have the blood oaths completed. I can see if Alpha Sam would be able to come tomorrow morning to complete the ritual." I tell Brock. "Tonight would be even better after the pack run?" Jake inquires of me. "You are right.
Trixie POVWe returned from the mall to find Jerica waiting on the front porch for us. I completely forgot she was coming by today to keep me company. I gave her a gentle smile as we got out of the car. She rolled her eyes and then smiled back. Standing up and following up inside. "I am - " "No need. Its all good. I was busy until about 20 minutes ago anyway." Jerica just smiled. I nodded. "You girls ready to whip it up in the kitchen?" Alana teased me. "Oh, you already know mom is ready to challenge you again for the cook off?" Jerica teased her. "I am sure she is." Alana giggled. "I need to know this story." I tell them. They both chuckle. "You will soon enough. Our annual cook soup off off is in the winter. You will likely be a judge this year. Better I not taint you to my side now or Melissa will be ready to fight me." Alana smiles. "Alright, alright. Lets whip something up together." We followed her into the kitchen. We made some homemade lasagna and popcorn and ending up spen
Trixie POVI wake up and can scent Trevor. Its light but its there. He must have came and checked on me after the visiting Alpha went to bed. I sighed and rolled out of the bed. His mother had set up the bathroom next to the room for me for the next couple of days. I grabbed a causal change of clothes and headed to the shower. When I got out the wonderful smell of blueberry waffles hit my nose. Strolling into the kitchen, Mrs. Rogers has already set the table for the three of us to eat breakfast. "It smells wonderful! Thank you," I tell her and take a seat. "She is a morning person and has always made a great breakfast spread." Trevor's dad, Mr.Rogers, smiles over to her bringing over the orange juice. "You know they say breakfast is the most important meal of the day." She grins at him. They are adorable. We ate mostly in silence until the end. "I was thinking Trixie, if you dont mind maybe you can accompany me on a shopping trip into the city today?" Mrs Rogers asked. She peers ov
Trevor's Mothers POV I stood in the hallway listening to Trixie climb back in the window. She was unaware that I had been listening. I can hear her heart rate rise and I can smell the salt of her tears. She has a love of her pack and for my Trevor. Trying to align the two while keeping everyone safe would not be easy. Is Trixie alright? Trevor forces through to mindlink me. Yes dear. She is just a little upset and I think she is missing you. I told him. No need to share the details. She will tell him when she is ready. Although next time we will have to figure out how her Aunt Alice is slipping by border patrol undetected. I am going to come by after this idiot goes to his room for the night. I don't trust him. He huffs through the mindlink. I will leave the back door unlocked so you can slip in quietly; just lock it behind you when you enter and leave. Thanks mom. He cuts off the link. Trixie begins to calm down and her rate rate begins to normalize. I tiptoe to the back door
Trixie's POVIt was late. Completely Dark outside but my wolf was restless and pacing inside me wanting to be with Trevor. I laid on the bed with my eyes closed and headphones on listening to some throwbacks from Hale storm and Fallout Boys when something tapped on my arm. I opened my eyes to find no one. Then something hit my arm. A pebble. I looked around and found my cousin Alice had propped open the window and threw 2 pebbles in trying to get my attention. I threw off my headphones and headed to the window."What are you doing? You can't be here. There are visitors. This is Trevor's parents house." I whisper shouted at her. She shrugged and shhed me, "Come on, we can talk out here." Alice urged me to climb out the window. Luckily I was able to do so without much noise. "Follow me. We need to stay inside the tree line so no one sees us." She whispered. I nodded and followed behind her. We ran through the shadows and froze listening for steps seeing if we had been followed. Once far
Trixie POV When I got back to the pack house I found Trevor passed out in the hammock on the back patio. I grabbed my dress and slipped it on and gently nudged him away. He trudged up the stairs half asleep pulling my hand behind him. Throwing his shirt over his head and dropping his pants on the floor he climbed into bed and patted the mattress beside him. I can see his wolf swirling in his irises. I walk over to the drawer and grab one of his shirt and slip on before climbing into bed with him. He quickly grabs me pulling me into him and curling up to me and passes back out almost instantly. Trevor and his wolf must be exhausted from the trip and being away from us. Too bed more separation is to come. But that is for us to deal with tomorrow. ***The next morning I woke early and brought breakfast to our room. Trevor just waking when I returned with our plates. We had a quite breakfast looking out on the patio and hearing the morning birds song. Once finished I began packing. I h
Trevor's POV I squeezed my hand around Trixie's thigh as she sat in the passenger seat beside me watching me drive off from dinner. I sighed to myself my wolf prancing in my head that we were back with our mate. I honestly felt slightly guilty for what I am going to have to tell her at dinner. None the less her protection is my top priority. The less they knew about her going into the alliance the better. I am glad she missed me so much and we got to have a little fun right away becuase I have a feeling that tonight after I give her the options; there would be no more fun. We pulled up to vallet at the resturant right inside of the city, passing my keys off and helping Trix out of the car. She wore this little olive sundress that I wish I had taken the time for round two, just so I could behind her over the dresser in it. She smiled up at me and climbed out of the car. I love the view of her down in front of me looking up. I have to adjust myself after she steps in front of me. This
Trixie Point of view The day passed slowly as I patiently waited on Trevor to come home. I had went on a run and done some light combat training with Jerica this morning. Ate breakfast and just finished lunch. Took a shower and painted my toenails. It was a rather dull day I spent thinking about Alice and my father until my ears picked up a car coming down the drive and I could sense him near by. Trevor was home. I quickly got jumped out of bed rushing out the door almost shoving Jake down in the process and raced down stairs to the front door. I paused and took a deep breath and then opened the door and stepped out and waiting for him to park and get out of his SUV. Who was I kidding. I was itching to get back in his arms. As soon as he stepped out my feet had a mind of their own running to him and jumping into him wrapping my legs and arms around him. He caught me with perfect timing holding my tightly against him as I peppered his face with kisses. I heard Joseph and Eric chuckle
Trevor's point of view I rubbed my temples for the hundredth time during this meeting. I was tired and frustrated at how many questions the other Alpha's had for me. They were asking valid questions but I was trying to keep my Trixie safe and her secret. However, they would not let it go. "Allow me to recap what you have told us Alpha Trevor. You have had spontaneous rogue attacks until recently you experienced a force of a little over one hundred rogues banding to attack you. You kill them all or they all retreat except for one. That one you interogated and she told you that the hunters are taking over pack in the west, experimenting on their children and raping the women and keeping them as slaves after they have killed all the men and warriors. The hunters made them attack you pack. But the question still remains why target you? You have the second largest pack in North America." Alpha Brock wasn't against the alliance as it appeared but he was smart enough to know that there w
