I was already dreading the date from the moment I woke up. I went about my day with my thoughts running around in my head. In fact, I was so in my own head that customers actually noticed and Greg had to give me a ten minute break to (and I quote) “Get my head back into the game”.
“Are you alright today dear?” Mrs. Wiggins asked snapping me out of my thoughts and I quickly nodded and gave her a small smile, “You’ve just been so out of it today; I’ve been watching you since I walked in.”
“It’s okay Mrs. Wiggins; I’m fine.” I said, “I’m just thinking.”
“Are you sure?” she asked again and I nodded, “If you’re feeling a bit under the weather then I’m sure Greg will be more than happy to give you the rest of the day off.”

True to his words Jake has never bothered me for a date or anything romantic and he doesn’t come to the store every day anymore; he comes once a week- Tuesday to be exact. And although I didn’t ask why’ he offered up the information himself; he has to go back home every week because his “friend” needs him.I knew he couldn’t stay away from his pack for too long. In fact I wonder why his Alpha let him stay away this long in the first place. Father would have never allowed it.I pushed all thoughts of Jake out of my mind and focused on getting ready for the day but something didn’t feel right. I paused what I was doing to think about it then I realized- Greg wasn’t yelling at me to hurry up.“Greg,” I yelled as I poked my head out of the door, “Is everything okay?”Everywhere was quiet for a second and I was about to go looking for

I told him everything that happened and he just sat in his chair staring at me with an unreadable expression on his face.“I am so sorry.” I said when he didn’t say anything after a few seconds, “I totally forgot about the potion because you said that we weren’t going to the store today. I just assumed that I wasn’t going to leave the house at all.” I continued, “And I’m not trying to say it’s your fault in any way I was just careless and I’m sorry.”He still didn’t say anything and in all honesty I would take anything- even him yelling at me- to his silence. It’s a lot scarier as he’s quiet because I have no idea what is going on in his head.“So he knows you’re a werewolf.” He said and I nodded, “What did you do when he found out?” &ldquo

“What talk?” I asked, “I didn’t talk to anyone.” “Have you ever been told that you are a very shitty liar.” He said and I rolled my eyes. “You should stop trying because it’s funny trying to watch you lie when you obviously can’t.”“That is not true.” I said, “I would have you know that I am a very convincing liar.” “Of course you are.” He began, “Rule number 1 sweetheart; never play denial as a first tactic especially when you’re a horrible liar; everyone expects it and it’s so painfully obvious that it’s sad.”“I am a good liar.” “Whatever floats your boat sweetheart.” He said with a smile, “We all

Greg was right- as much as it pains me to admit it- I didn’t see Jake until shortly after noon when he came in to buy a few things. As soon as he walked in Greg caught my eye and shot me an ‘I told you so’ look and so conveniently made his way to the back leaving me to handle Jake on my own.“Hey,’ he said and I mumbled a greeting of my own back. “Look I’m not here to cause any trouble for you.” “Thank you.”“That said, I still need to understand why you’re here and not with a pack,” he said, “You’re not a rogue; you don’t have their scent.” “You caught my scent for what- five seconds- and suddenly you’re an expert?” I asked and he gave me a sour smile.“I onl

Jake never let me live that kiss down. He gloated about it for almost a full week after and he brought it up again a month later when he asked me out and I said yes. According to him one of the main reasons I said yes is because he’s a phenomenal kisser. I told him he was an okay kisser and he proceeded to show me otherwise.Greg wasn’t the biggest fan of me dating him because according to him someone was going to end up heartbroken and it was most likely going to be Jake because I won’t be able to be the Beta female he wants me to be and there was also the looming possibility of us finding our mates or Jake finding out why I’m really here and on the run.I actually tried to tell that to Jake (well not everything- just the part about me not being able to move to his pack with him our mates) but he promised that he was never going to try to put me into a box. He also said that we would end whatever we had when we found

I didn’t come out of the back until the end of the day and I was so on edge while we were driving home that I kept my head down through the entire ride and kept all my windows shut just in case. “You need to get out of the house Charlie,” Greg said as I sat across him in the living room, “You can’t stay locked in here forever.” “What if they’re here for me?” I asked, “If they see me then it’s game over. I’m going to get punished for running away and I will be forced to marry your father. My life would be over and everything would be in vain.”“I think you can get your point across without calling him my father,” he said giving me a pointed look. “I’m sorry; I’

My first thought was to refuse but he shot me a look that made me go quiet instantly.“I know you’re going to refuse,” he began, “But the only other option is leaving you here to chance and I can’t do that to you. I won’t leave you to the mercy of that bastard.” “So what are you going to do?” I asked “Are you going to hide me away and lie to your Alpha about me? He will kill you when he finds out.”“I don’t lie to Logan ever.” He said, “He’s a good guy and I know he won’t turn you down.” “He might be a good guy but do you really think he’s going to risk a war with another pack because of a girl who isn’t even your mate?”“I understand your

Jake drove me to his place; it took almost five minutes for me to agree to stay at his place. I feel like he has done too much for me but he feels responsible. I wanted to stay in the pack house with the other guests but he was very adamant about me not staying there.I thought I was winning but then he played the ‘Greg left you in my care’ card and that’s what made me succumb and finally agree to stay with him.It was a very simple looking house on the outskirts of town. It was almost completely isolated; in fact the closest house to it was about five minutes away by drive and he told me that it’s Logan’s place. Apparently they both like their privacy way too much.He helped me carry my bag in and led me to the room I would be staying in. it was a very simple room with cream walls and a queen sized four poster bed in the middle of the room. There was a dresser with a mirror ov
