Cat
I finished planting several rows of seeds before it was time for lunch. I went inside and washed my hands of dirt before making sandwiches for everyone. I had all four of us some thick sandwiches made by the time everyone came inside to eat. I was starving from not getting breakfast and I knew Owen and Preston could eat a lot. When everyone was in the kitchen, Hank sat down with some water and I handed everyone their plates while still standing at the counter.
“How much will you get done out there today?” Hank asked me.
“I should get everything done by the time the kids get home from school,” I said.
He nodded his head and my phone's text tone start
CatI slowly woke up with a groan of major discomfort. My head hurt so bad and my stomach was revolting from last night. I could feel how dry my mouth was and I grimaced while moving my tongue around in my mouth to try and wet it. It didn't work very well so I knew I needed water.My alarm started going off next to my bed and I whined at the sound as it set off an even more painful headache than I already had. I now have a hangover after too many shots and drinking several beers on top of them last night with Amber.I managed to muster up the energy and reached over to turn my alarm off with a groan. I moved in my bed and realized I was completely naked under the covers. I groaned even more and gently laid back to relax there in my bed for a while. I
Cat~A Few Days LaterIt’s the end of another long and hard day of working on the ranch. I was waiting at the bus stop in my truck for the kids to arrive home. I was texting Amber as she talked about a new guy in town that was single. Apparently, she was interested in him and I told her to go for it. She had nothing to lose.The bus came up and stopped in front of my truck. I watched as Ivy and Jacob stepped off and ran up to my truck. They climbed in as the bus left to go drop off the other kids it had.“Hey, how many smiles did the two of you give out today?” I asked as they settled in their seats.&nbs
CatIt was first thing in the morning and I hadn’t really slept at all last night. When my alarm went off, I was already awake and turned it off while sighing heavily. I was sitting on the edge of my bed with my bedside light on as I looked out the window. I was just sitting there with the covers partly draped over my lap as I stared off into space. I was still thinking about last night. I stood near the window and listened to Danny, Preston and Owen argue. I had heard everything that was said. I was pissed at Danny for being such a dick but there was an even bigger emotion running through me. Uncertainty.I had learned that I was Owen’s mate, meaning I was his Luna. He was here to originally investigate me, thinking I was the enemy, but had found something more than what he had bargained for. I had no
Cat~Saturday NightI was so happy that the weekend was here. It was rodeo time here in Baker, and I wanted to take the kids out to watch the events and have a good time. All of us worked hard to finish up our daily chores early so we could get ready to go out.After our chores were done, we all cleaned up and put on nice clothes. The kids had on nice blue jeans and button-up shirts. Jacob had on his black felt cowboy hat and boots. I braided Ivy’s long black hair and put a bow in it. She pulled on her boots and a thin jacket that made her look like a little Native American kid. I had on a black dress that ended right at my knees. It was satin with a lace layer over it and I paired it with my fancy boots I only wore out and a denim jacket.
OwenLast night at the rodeo, I wanted nothing more than to kill Danny when I found him with Cat. How dare he scare her and touch her like that? I was so happy that I got to them before he did something stupid. I had this feeling that he was about to try and claim her for himself just to keep her away from me. That would have killed me to go through. When another wolf claims what’s yours, it severs the mate bond and leaves you without your true mate. It’s similar to rejection and feels just as horrible or so I’ve been told. I wasn’t going to allow him the satisfaction of doing that.I could smell him all over her when I hugged her and it enraged me to my very core. I wanted nothing more than to replace his scent with my own. Cover her mouth and face with kisses that lingered for
CatThe week was flying by and I was having more and more private conversations with Owen to get to know him a little more. Things were going well and we were getting friendly. I hope that soon I can find the perfect opportunity to have a conversation with him about wolves and move forward. I just hope he won't be angry with me for keeping my knowledge of werewolves a secret for over a month.At the moment, the guys were working on vaccinations with the goats while I was in the paddock with the horse that Andrew brought me, Dexter. I worked with him as much as I could but wasn’t seeing much progress. He’s so very high-strung that it takes a lot of patients to work with him.I had a saddle on him at the moment and I was letting him buck all over
CatIn the coming days, I had the guys handle most of my chores so I could focus on the horses. I babied Maximus and I’m sure the old guy was getting tired of me. He was starting to show signs of improvement but some of his wounds would reopen and bleed if he laid down then got back up. He didn’t move around too much, letting me know he was sore.When I wasn’t with Maximus, I tried to train Dexter. He was smart and willing to learn new things, he just didn’t want anyone on his back. He made it obvious by how he acted with a saddle on. He would still buck and run while making horrible sounds.“Do you just want to be a pack mule? Because you’re stubborn like one,” I told him while watching him run around i
OwenMy date tonight with Cat was amazing. She looked beautiful in her tight blue jeans and her white lace and satin tank top. I could stare at her for a lifetime and never be disappointed.During dinner, the oddest thing happened. She got territorial over the waitress just showing me attention, as it should be since I am her mate, but the pheromones that her body produced had me fucking confused as hell. I’ve smelled human sexual pheromones before and she-wolf pheromones used to attract their mates. Cat’s were almost as strong as a she-wolf’s, and they were so intoxicatingly sweet that I had to try hard to hold my shit together. Jet was fully present the entire evening after I smelled that. Jet wanted me to make a move and claim what was ours immediately.
