“Well, that does cover more than I was expecting” Trevor grumbled, still not pleased with how short it was.
“Okay boys, time to check out and find all your tuxes!” I said.
Suddenly I heard Damian’s voice in my head as I was stripping, “Kitten, I hope you’re not too fond of that dress because even if I am not your mate, I will be ripping it off you come Saturday night” I smirked, my cheeks got red and my panties instantly got wet. “And who said I will let you?” I teased back. “I will come up behind you, pin you to a wall and take you right here women” he teased right back. “The whole store is about to smell my arousal, you want that?” I whispered trying to get ahold of myself. I didn’t hear anything back but him chuckle.
“Come on boys, let’s get a head start on those tuxes” Damian said out loud, “Hurry up girls, we will be on the other side of the store!”
“Ass” I mind-linked him with no effort in it.
After we changed out, Holly and I find the boy and they have already finished, so we head home. Zach, Holly and Trevor are in the back arguing about who is the better dance and I find myself looking out the window, spacing out. I feel like my life is going to change in a week and I just don’t know why. I just have this bad feeling. I have always had this knack for knowing things. Like if something bad was going to happen or if someone was lying. Maybe I am just in tune with nature or whatever, but I feel more at peace when I can run or be in the woods. Maybe that’s why I feel an ominous feeling. I need to go for a walk in the woods around our pack. We finally got home and I quickly told people I was tired and I was going to call it a night.
Thankfully, my parents were not home yet, so I hid my dress and went for a walk. It was starting to get dark outside and I loved this time of day. Dusk was so beautiful with the reds and oranges painting the sky. It is late April and it is starting to get warm outside, but I still wanted to bring a jacket. I hate being cold and dusk in April is still a bit chilly. There is a small meadow about a half of a mile from my house that I love. I like to lie there and look up at the stars. There is a small opening in the canopy that allows the sun or the moon’s rays to peak down. Even though the stars are not quite out yet, I still lay there and let my mind wonder. That is still I hear a stick snap and the smell of coconut and rain water fill my nose. Damian.
“I knew there was something wrong with you.”
“I have no idea what you are talking about.”
“Oh really, this is where you run off too when your stressed about something, so talk to me kitten.”
I sighed; he knows me too well. “I just have this feeling like something bad is going to happen next Saturday. There will be like 500 kids from all over here for the prom. Things are going to change. I just don’t know if it is for the better.”
Damian knows of my “feelings” I get. Multiple times, my instincts have never been wrong and have saved us a time or two. He laid down beside me and was quiet for a while. The stars are out now and they are beautiful.
“I have always liked you and admired you. You would be a perfect Luna and I would be proud to be your mate. Even if we aren’t mates, we will find a good balance. I will be jealous of any mate of yours that is not me, but as long as you are happy.”
“If only it was that simple” I said quietly. I know we have talked about this multiple times and we have fooled around too but I will be heartbroken if we aren’t mates. I have secretly wanted him as a mate since we were little.
“Do you feel like it’s something else that is going to happen?”
“I just don’t know.”
“Kitten….
“Nina! Get up, you’re going to be late for school!” my mom shouted from down the stairs. Shit, it’s Monday. This weekend went by quickly. My senior year is almost over. I have senior prom this Saturday and graduation next Saturday. Rolling over and sliding out of bed is the hardest part. I have a very loving relationship with my bed. I quickly took a shower and got dressed. I always wear comfy clothes, but since I have to go to training today, I let my hair air dry with leggings and a sports bra with a crop top.
“NINA!!! Your friends are waiting outside!” mom shouted right as I heard an impatient horn honking. As long as I can remember, Holly and Trevor always pick me up and drive us to school. It is only a 10-minute walk, but it’s nice to not have to walk when its cold out. With a granola bar in hand, my mom is standing at the door and gives me a big smile and hugs goodbye. Jogging down the steps from my wrap-around porch, I hear them already arguing.
“Trevor, I told you, I am old enough to make my own choices!” Shouted Holly angrily, as long as I can remember Trevor has always been overly protective of Holly. He does not like her training, flirting, dating and anything he said that would give a guy the wrong impression. He wants her to be a princess and not lift a finger. Unfortunately for him, she has a passion for fighting and an attitude to match it. We are twins in that aspect.
“Already arguing? Why now?
“Trevor thinks I should stay home and learn to cook or work at the daycare instead of going to the field after school to train. Apparently, it gives guys a chance to look at what isn’t theirs and isn’t lady-like. It doesn’t matter if I know how to defend myself or that I am one of the top female warriors”. Holly lashed out
“Trevor, you know you won’t and have yet to win this argument. She is going to do what she wants and you need to love her for who she is, not try to make her into being a submissive trophy wife” standing up for my friend. Mainly, I love her, but also, I don’t want to be put into that category either.
“Whatever” Trevor commented under his breath as he floored his Dodge Charger.
Finally, school is over and I can let out some of my frustration in someone’s face. Running to the field, I see my dad walking out to the field to start training, giving me a head bob. He yells at everyone to start with ten laps for a warm up and then pair off and work on offense and defense. On my second lap, I suddenly felt a presence behind me.
“Hey there good looking” Coconut and rain rushing into my senses. I didn’t need to turn around to feel Damian’s eyes on my ass as I ran. Rolling my eyes, I suddenly swerved to the right and kicked my foot out and sent him flying forward. However, since Damian is over 18 and has gotten his wolf, he is able to nail the landing and glance back at me with a wink. Slowing his pace, he looks at me and this time I almost fell. The look he is giving me is filled with so much love, desire, and longing. My mouth goes dry and I can’t seem to find the words to snap back at him.
“Something got your tongue?”
“Oh, just this cocking future alpha that thinks he is hot stuff.” Faking pain and a hand over his heart and a pained look on his face, he asked “Well then I guess you might want to be my partner and show me how cocky I am?”
“Sure, I would like to knock you down a peg or two, mister”. Finishing our laps, we all break off into groups of two and start to spar. Damian knows I need to let out some frustration so he takes defense first. I got in a few good punches but I seem to be in more pain. Although I am the top female warrior, I am no match for a future alpha. I do feel better though and I was able to get my pent up energy out. All these feelings for this Saturday seem to be getting stronger each day.
“Feeling any better kitten?”
“No, it only seems to be getting worse. The feelings are getting stronger each day.”
