The day ended with a lot more kissing and talking. I felt connected to Rogan unlike I’d ever felt connected with anyone else before. Of course, there was only Reese who I felt close enough to share any of my thoughts. We repeated much of the same events on Sunday but before I could ask him how school or anything else would work we were interrupted by some wolves that started getting close to our spot and we had to break without talking about it. I was amazed that Melina had bought my school project story but seemed uncertain with my birthday preparations if I would be allowed any afterschool time this week. For some reason with the knowledge of knowing that I would be 18 on Friday be blessed by the moon goddess and know then if Rogan was my true mate. I didn’t seem to mind skipping the afterschool jaunts if needed. I knew Monday I couldn’t anyways because I was supposed to have my dress fitting. Priestess Laura had been requested by Melina to hand make a dress for me as I was pres
I felt every eye on me from the moment Rogan walked up and kissed me. I felt like small whispers were floating through the hallways as we walked. Reese and Alec both smiled as they walked along with us and barely could remember that my first class was English. I barely even remembered that Rogan, Alec, and Reese were in the same class as me. We walked into the class and my face had to be the color of a tomato. It felt like the whole class stopped and turned to stare as we walked in. Rogan must have noticed because he leaned into my ear, “Kel relax, and just lead the way.” I looked over to the table that Reese and I normally sat at which was in the far-left corner I started to walk forward with Rogan following behind still holding my hand giving it a gentle squeeze. Looking around I could see the stunned faces and whispers quickly started back up. The table was just simply that with two chairs behind each table followed by another one in front and so it went. Reese and I typically sat i
Lunch was great and although I knew we had a class coming up I found myself pulling Rogan to the library. “I want a few moments alone with you.” My body temperature was rising and my mind was focused on very dirty things, dirty things I wanted to do with Rogan, especially after today. I was barely even a part of my mind at that point. We walked into the library and I pulled him along with me and he came with me smiling and eager not entirely sure. There was the closet in the far back I put my hand on the brassy knob and just as I thought the door opened. It was a small closet and I pulled Rogan in. “Kel, what are we doing in here.” I quickly locked the door and lunged at him kissing him mercilessly. Our tongues tangled in a dance of anticipation and I started to move my hands to his rising erect which I stroked with my hand over his clothing. “Damn Kel, slow down a bit, wait you are burning up.” His statement was made as his hands brushed my forehead. “Kel, shit this isn’t you, is
B By the end of the day, I felt almost normal again and was grateful Rogan only allowed what he did. I knew deep down he was right that I needed to just adjust to my wolf and in less than a week I would be back to some kind of new normal. Although fear was building in me that maybe in a week, my new normal wouldn’t be anything like this. It was the few things Rogan said about him never seeing a wolf be like this. What if there was, I was missing? I wanted to talk to someone who had gone through the change and see what it was like but I doubted “my mom”, Melina would be much help. I also worried she would take it as a sign that was the next high priestess and I made a note to pray again to the moon goddess to not allow that to happen. The truth was I’d always hoped when my wolf came out. I’d meet my mate quickly and be able to go to part-time priestess duties like priestesses who came and went back to their families but I wasn't sure if there were many like that anymore. They seeme
I ran the entire way home and was a sweaty mess but still had a few minutes to spare before the fitting. I took a quick look in the mirror and realized I was a hot mess. I did my best to freshen up with some simple new clothes, deodorant, and redid my hair quickly, and raced into the big living room where my fitting was. I raced to make frantic apologies but although I was on time, I could see many of the priestesses were there and then I looked around to see I was the only one not dressed in their white gowns and made eye contact with the high priestess sitting on the red felt couch with a golden trip. Shit! I could see all the faces and knew nobody was pleased. I found myself looking from priestess to priestess until I landed on sweet Laura who gave me a half smile trying to encourage me to push through. Before I could say a word I heard her speak, “Kellina you are late,” with a very snapping tone. I wasn’t even sure what to do so I bowed lowering my head and taking a step toward
The cool water felt good on my very hot sweaty skin and I could feel the tension releasing from my body. I was grateful Laura was there and noticed my anger. If I had erupted on the high priestess there was no telling where’d I would end up but I had heard horror stories in the past of there being a place for those who disobeyed the leaders of our pack. By the time I was out of the shower and finally cooled off from my rage, Laura had tidied up my room. I saw Laura for the beautiful woman she was and unique to us in so many ways here at the home of the high priestess. Laura had a motherly nature and I was so grateful she projected some of that nature onto me. “Kellina, are you doing better?” I nodded as she came over and felt my face and arms feeling to the now coolness. “Was it your wolf?” I nodded again. “Kellina I think your wolf will be very powerful I had never seen such rage in you before. You are going to have to let me know if you begin to feel that way again so we ca
The entire day felt amazing. As soon as Reese and Alec were done squabbling at each other and we finished laughing at them, we took off in Rogan’s car. It was amazing just to be in a car because, to be honest, I hadn’t been allowed in many vehicles in my life. It was a slick black Cadillac with a leather interior and so many knobs and buttons it took everything in me not to touch them all. It was even complete with a sunroof. We drove to the nearby city filled with huge buildings and so many stores my mouth salivated in curiosity. All the while Rogan did his best to drive with one hand and hold my hand with the other. His warmth on my hand kept me centered and made me feel comfortable in my skin. For the smallest of moments, I felt like a real teenager preparing for adulthood in less than a week with graduation following shortly afterward. I couldn’t believe how good this day felt being with people who cared about me and I cared about them too. Alec was quickly becoming one o
We pulled into a place just at the edge of the city filled with large trees and we all got out of the car as we walked Rogan was kind and held my son as we followed the path through the trees. He grinned as we came to a large open space filled with many people for a Tuesday afternoon and a very large Ferris Wheel with some other smaller amusement rides. Alec grinned and grabbed Reese’s hand, “Come we are going to the strawberries, I want to see if I can make you vomit.” Reese laughed as she was pulled away jokingly giggling out, “Help me”. As we watched her brown hair sway in the breeze. The more those two were together the more I thought there was something there. Rogan wrapped his arms around me pulling me close to his chest as he whispered in my ear, ‘What are you thinking?” “I think those two might just be....” “Mates?” Rogan finished my sentence and I nodded in agreement as we both giggled. “I think so too, how cool will it be to have our besties right by our side
