Chapter 4 Jerica is a She-Wolf

Jerica’s POV 

Excitement filled me tonight as I was taking my human friends to my packs club in the city. I knew we wouldn’t get in trouble as the club was 18 and up, and the employees were all wolfs like me and with that in mind the bartenders let all the wolfs drink at 18 there. Being just a couple months shy I knew they would serve me without an issue, and since the club was public it wouldn’t be a problem that the girls aren’t wolfs. It was the best of both worlds. 

It was tough keeping it from them most the time. Especially when pack activities overlapped with regular stuff the girls did.

Something was up with Trixie though. The older she got the more I could tell her scent was changing. She started to smell more like a wolf than a human; but that’s crazy right? She was adopted from foster care I knew that but there is no way any alpha would have let the state get involved and take a pup from one of our own. 

We were all hopping in the car when I asked Abby if she cared if I drove, knowing it would be faster than trying to give her directions over her singing with the radio. She threw me the keys and we all jumped in and played music all the way to the parking garage which I knew we wouldn’t have to pay since this one was just a block away from the club and owned by my pack. I turned the radio down and the girls giggled while I pulled up to the booth where one of our patrols wolfs sat in his human form looking down at the car filled with underage girls. Jake was his name, he sat with his feet propped up on the desk in front of him in his jeans and snug black t shirt. He was just a muscle as any of the other wolfs in the pack. He Chuckled and raised an eyebrow as if to challenge me being here. He mind linked me right away. 

‘What are you doing bringing these girls here?’ He asked

I smiled big and batted my lashes at him, knowing he was easy to sucker- He always had a crush on me and being just 2 years older than me, he never told me know even if he knew he would be in trouble. “We would like to park here tonight for free please?” I emphasized knowing I wouldn’t have to pay. The girls all looked shocked that I had just told her we didn’t want to pay. 

“Ma’am,” Jake started off coming out of the booth leaning his head into the car, “This is a membership parking or paid parking, but” I saw a glint in his eyes that I knew I would regret this later. “I can make an exception if you do one thing for me?” God, he smelled so good! Masculine and like a campfire roasting marshmallow. I slightly sniffed him hoping he wouldn’t notice. 

“And what could I do for you?” I asked. He lifted an eyebrow at me letting me know he caught me inhaling his scent, but I just couldn’t help it. He smelled amazing! I could feel the blood run to my cheeks as her reached into his pocket and pulled out a phone and unlocked it handing it to me on the dial pad. 

“If you save your phone number in here. Ill let you park anytime in here for free.” He smiled. I just busted laughing but entered my number anyway and saved it under something I thought he would find funny later than handed it back batting my lashes. He raised the gate for us grinning ear to ear like he was so slick and had won the lottery or something. “Have a good night.” I said returning the smile and driving in. 

The girls all started laughing as soon as I pulled away! “Jerica! Did you give him your real number? He was hot! You should definitely have given him yours! Or at least mine!” Fits of laughter filled the car as I found a spot and parked. We all got out and grab our purses and I was leading the way out the side door of the garage to the club. I didn’t want to go back through the front knowing I would see Jake again. As handsome and charming as he is I don’t want to get involved with another wolf. I was trying to save myself for my mate. Being only a couple months away from my birthday knowing that you can find your mate at 18 and most found mates by 20 meant I could be just a couple months away at most 2 years and a couple months. If I made it this far, I think I could wait. 

“Follow me!” I said as I lead the girls to the front of the club Great Wolf. Ironic right? Our Beta named the club thought he was so funny! And so did my mom since they were married and mated. My father thought he was hilarious. 

Jake POV 

Beta Eric wasn’t going to be happy his daughter was out tonight and by the way her and her friends were dressed I knew they were going to Great Wolf. I knew the Alpha would be there tonight with some others but Beta would be home with his mate thinking his daughter was at a sleep over. 

I could help but my hearing my wolf James purr within me knowing that we caught Jerica inhaling our scent. He was so happy knowing that she enjoyed the way we smelt. I am 20 years old and have known since I was 18 that Jerica was my mate. Given that she hasn’t shifted yet she has no clue and I wouldn’t dare tell her either. I wanted her to find out on her own. But it couldn’t hurt if we got involved a little sooner since I know have her phone number. She really thought she was something. She saved her number in my phone as “The hottest she-wolf you know!” That girl was is going be the death of me.

My older brother was third in command, Joseph, and was close friends with Alpha and I knew they both were at pack’s club down the block. He and my parents are the only ones who knew that Jerica was my mate so I decide to mind link him and ask him to keep an eye on her tonight so that they don’t run into any trouble. 

Joe-you there? - Jake 

Yeah man what’s up I’m at the club with Alpha – Joseph

I figured as much. Jerica is headed there now with her friends mostly human, but I think one wolf, her scent was off ? Can you keep an eye on them? Keep any mans hands off my mate! 

HAHAHA! Of course, man, her birthday is soon and we won’t have to tip toe around it anymore. Ill make sure she stays out of trouble. – Joseph 

Thanks. - Jake

I cut the mind link then. I knew she would be fine and still have fun. I would have to hold off on texting her until at least tomorrow. I hope she isn’t disappointed with me when she finds out I am her mate and haven’t told her.
