Allison was back to her old self and was now smiling and talking occasionally once again. Susan loved spending time with her when she was feeling well. “After supper, we will do a quick bath, and then should we go for a walk?” Susan asked Allison with an uplilit to her voice. Allison of course responded excitedly, moving her arms and legs and nodding her head. Susan couldn’t help but smile at the smiley young lady. The night flew by, and at 9PM, Susan left a sleeping Allison in the care of her mother. “It was a much better night. Hopefully she will sleep well for you. I did my best to wear her out with fun and fresh air.” Susan reporte
Susan slung her backpack over one shoulder and jogged up to her room, slamming the door. Susan began to pace back and forth, talking out loud to no one in particular, “Mates? Could Travis really be my mate? If so, would he want me?”
Susan didn’t set her alarm Saturday because for a change she didn’t need to. When she made that decision, she had no intention of sleeping until 10AM. Hopefully the extra sleep will help build her immune system as she heads into flu season. Werewolves rarely got sick, but when they did, it was often serious because not all human medicines worked on werewolves. So depending on the illness, options for treatment were limited. Pain was very difficult to treat in her kind because a wolf metabolizes medications so quickly that the relief is very short lived. Susan may be studying human medicine, but had several books she had procured throughout the years regarding
Travis led Susan around the log pack house which consisted of a huge dining area filled with tables as you entered the door, and extended to the left. Behind the dining area was a large kitchen full of Omegas buzzing around cooking and putting final preparations in place for the BBQ. The kitchen had all Stainless steel countertops, two double ovens, four sinks in a row against the back wall, and an industrial sized dishwasher to help speed clean up. Smoke could be seen through the back windows and Travis noticed Susan looking. “There is a huge attached deck full of picnic tables out back. I’ll show you when we’re done in here.” Travis smiled and h
Being a werewolf, Susan had never been afraid to eat. Wolves have a higher metabolism than humans and the change which she would be undergoing for the run tonight, took a lot of energy and thus calories. Susan loaded up her plate with food and went back over to help Alpha Gannon and Luna Caitriona with the pups. The last several days the pregnancy had been catching up with Cat, so Susan wanted to do all she could to help out. When Susan arrived back at the table, Cat was sitting with Theo, and Gannon had the other three up at the food line. Amazingly, the twins were holding their own plates and walking along like big kids for Dad. Susan offered to hold Theo so Cat could
Gannon moves over to the spot Travis just vacated, leans into Susan, and whisper-shouts, “what was that Susan? I asked you to befriend him. That sure as hell didn’t look like friendly behavior!” Gannon rarely swore, so both Susan and Caitriona knew Gannon was upset.Susan sighed, rested her elbow on the table and placed her head in her hand.
Travis was in the kitchen putting away food, washing dishes, wiping counters, etc.. generally this was all work the Omegas would do tonight after the run or tomorrow morning after or before breakfast. Travis figuresd he would help out, and it was a good excuse to stay away from Susan. Travis was so unsure what to do about her. Travis’s wolf was so drawn to her, but the feeling didn’t appear to be mutual. Travis knew he could only do so much. He could not force her to like him, it had to be her choice. Of course that was the hardest part… Travis could smell that she was responding to him, and yet she denied it, but why?
Still standing in the pack house kitchen, embracing each other and lip locked, Susan pulls back slightly and meets his eyes. They are both breathing heavily but smiling. “I may very well be your mate? Are you sure?”Travis grins before speaking, “Well pretty lady, time will tell.”
“You say they’re human, Hmm?” Travis clarified. Susan nodded in response but studied Travis, wondering why he asked that. “There was a human man following me at college this week. I introduced myself and he about shit himself.” Travis laughed.Putting her palm on Travis’s cheek, she looked him in the eye and said, &ld
