Her One and Only

Weed Man

A few hours have passed since the morning. Miles has been pretty quiet and deep in thought all day. I have a video call with Alex later, which I’m not terribly excited for. He doesn’t know where I am, he doesn’t even get to know that I’m in “Japan” visiting “Family” like some pack members do.

I wonder what Miles is thinking about…

My wandering thoughts are interrupted by Miles' voice in my head saying “dream.”

Am I hearing Miles’ thoughts?

My concentration is broken by my phone buzzing on my thigh.

“Incoming Message from Alex Wright:

Hey Cutie, we still on for later? I don’t know what time it is there..”

Who is he calling cutie?!

I shake myself out of my anger. “At least he’s trying...” I mutter to myself. I start typing my reply:

“Glad your head is out of your ass today, I can’t tell you what timezone I’m in, if that’s what you’re asking. But, yes, we are still on for later. x”

I couldn’t physically bring myself to be nice to him. Our communication has been scarce since I moved. We talk infrequently but every time we do, we end up fighting. Honestly, it feels like a cosmic joke that I have to spend my life with this bull-headed man.

He responds almost immediately.

“I had to come out today, the weather is beautiful. Talk later, then.”

His response sends a chuckle through me. Maybe it won’t be so bad.

I hear Miles knock gently on my door, even though it was already open.

“Hey, I’ve gotta go drop off this weeks training plan to your man child, do you need anything while I’m out?”

I stop and think for a second.

“Weed.”

She laughs. “We still have some from the other night.”

“Where?!”

“It’s in my bedroom in the top dresser drawer. Don’t look at my bras though.” she winks at me and leaves. I immediately make my way into her room the moment I hear the front door close. Her room always smells so strongly of her, but this time I can smell Mary Jane too. I follow my nose to her dresser and open the top drawer. As the drawer creaks open my nose is assaulted with her scent and the green. I grab the little baggie and close it in my hand. I want to focus on her scent for a minute..

I breathe in her warm smell. My nose feels warmer and tingly. I need to ask what she wears...

My call with Alex is soon. I close her drawer and then her door. I walk into my own room and situate everything to not raise suspicion in Alex. I close the curtains and organise my things.

I sit down for a moment and before I can take a breath, my phone begins to buzz.

“Incoming Video Call from Alex Wright.”

I tap the green button and adjust my position.

“Hey Ny.”

I immediately c**k my head at him.

“I don’t remember telling you that we’re on a nickname basis.”

He looks taken aback.

“I thought that went without saying when it’s your mate.”

I roll my eyes.

“You know I’m unsure of you. I know I’m unsure of you. Don’t get cocky just because I agreed to speak with you while I’m in hiding.”

I sigh.

“Speaking of, when are you coming out so we can mate?”

As I’m about to reply I hear someone in the background.

“Alex, you dumb*ss.”

I’m immediately suspicious.

“Who’s with you?”

He panics for a moment, looks behind the phone and then replies.

“It’s Miles, she came over to deliver the newest training plan. But don’t worry, she’s a dyke.”

For some reason, this really set Noctis off. Don’t get me wrong, it pissed me off too, but Noctis was going nuts. I mean, she wants to pull him through the phone nuts.

“That’s a slur, Alex. Are you ever not a total ass?” I say, blank expression, but anger in my voice.

“So? We’re cool!” He says.

He looks up, seemingly to find Miles, but as he does the door slams.

“You don’t sound cool.”

He blinks at me, stupidly.

“Whatever, Alex. Call me back when you get your foot out of your mouth.” I sigh, and hang up on him.

I grab the baggy of weed. I need a pipe.

I lay down and wait for Miles to come back from i***t’s (Alex’s) house. I honestly can’t believe how dumb and bigoted he is. The gods are really funny if they think I’m going to put up with his sh*t. Or maybe I’m suppose to help him change? Though, I don’t think one wolf can change such a useless man.

I doze off, and am quickly woken by Miles slamming the front door.

“Who even uses the word ‘dyke’ anymore,” she’s muttering.

“Hey Miles, I’m in here,” I yell. She stomps across the house toward me.

“Has he always been a moron or is this a new development?”

I laugh at her question. “He’s always been like that.” I sigh and flop backward on my bed. Miles stomps over and flops next to me.

“I am truly sorry you have to actually be with that man,” she says.

“Yeah, me too.”

She turns to me, and gives me a look of confusion.

“I thought we were supposed to love our mates?”

“Yeah, me too. Not really sure what the issue is, but I have a hunch it’s the fact that he’s a hard-headed i***t with the personality of a used gym sock.”

May have gotten a little carried away…

I sigh. “I think I’m going to talk to my father about rejecting him. I can’t handle being with a closed-minded misogynistic dirt bag who spent the last six years piping a girl who threatened to hate f*ck my brother.”

For some reason this sends Miles into a laughing fit.

“You really have a way with words, Ny.” she laughs.

I chuckle, “Whatever, Miles. I’m gonna go call my dad.”

______

I called my dad’s beta about five minutes ago, and I’ve been on hold ever since. Apparently the company my dad never tells me about just made a huge deal today, and my dad is busy signing papers. I decided to step outside about four minutes ago, and have been watching birds for the last three. I can hear Miles doing dishes through the window on the porch I’m sitting on, the same porch we smoke on at night.

I zone out on a flock of geese flying over head, and within seconds of them passing over my father finally gets on the call.

“Nyght! My darling! I have the greatest news!” he’s clearly beaming, I can hear it in his voice.

“What happened, Dad?”

“We’re officially the growers for the largest Dispensary chain in North America!”

Hold up.

“Dad… You grow weed?”

“Yes, Nyght. Owner and CEO of Full Moon Bud since it became legal, but as long as no one is asking, we were doing it since we settled here.”

I blink for a second, trying to process what my straight edge strict japanese father is telling me.

“Dad. You fed our family by slinging weed?!”

“Yes, and it has absolutely paid off. We even opened our own dispensary in a near-by human town.”

What the f*ck.

“Wow, my question seems so insignificant now.”

I hear my father’s hearty laugh through the phone.

“What is your question, my dear?”

I take a deep breath and run through what I want to say to him one more time.

Alex and I just aren’t happy, I want to reject him. ...No. Alex is a f*cking i***t and I can’t stand him. ...No.

“Alex called Miles a dyke and I want to reject him.”

Perfect.

“His head is farther up his ass than Marianna thought,” my father mutters.

You can certainly tell where I got my language from.

I give my dad a soft chuckle.

“Nyght you don’t have to ask me to reject him. The Gods always have a plan and I always trust you to make the right decision. You are a strong, wise, and capable young wolf.”

His words cause a calm to wash over me.

“I love you so much, Dad.”

“I love you too, Nyght.”

“I’ll call you again soon, okay?”

“Yes my daughter, whenever you have time.” I can hear his smile through the phone, and figure it’s a good time to end the call.

I walk back inside and find Miles pressed to the open window.

“Someone eavesdropping?”

My voice causes her to jump, and I laugh at her reaction.

“So did you hear everything?”

“Mostly. When are you going to dump him?”

“Honestly, we’ll see if he even contacts me again. He seems like the ghosting type.”

She nods.

“So, your dad was a drug dealer.”

I burry my face in my hands.

“I literally cannot believe I didn’t find out until now. He’s been in America for like thirty years! He’s been slinging weed for thirty years.”

“We bought from our own pack,” she laughs.

We share a laugh, and I sit down at the kitchen table. Miles sits across from me.

“So, soon to be single-lady, wanna watch Rom-coms and get high?”

The question sends shivers down my spine.

“Miya better watch out, you’re coming for her place on my totem pole.” I joke.

“Let’s go buy a bong from the pack dispensary, I guess,” Miles laughs.

Miles POV

The dispensary is about thirty minutes from my house. Thankfully, right next to it is a smoke shop, undoubtedly owned by Mr. Tsuki as well. Nyght is playing more music for me, more of that band “The Growlers,” which just sounds like a great band for wolves to listen to.

The last song to play before we have to get out is Orgasm of Death again. She really seems to enjoy this specific song, I should really look into the lyrics to make sure she’s okay.

The song ends and she hops out of the car with no hesitation. It looks like she wants to go to the smoke shop first so I follow her lead.

“Gods look at that ass.”

What the f*ck is that?!

Am I going crazy? Do I have voices in my head?

“No, stupid. It’s your wolf. Your birthday is approaching.”

My wolf? I didn’t know we could communicate.

“We can now. You only have 13 days before you’re fully matured.”

Why did you comment on Nyght’s ass? And what is your name?

“Do you see it? I’m a carnivore but I sure am craving a peach now.”

I laugh out loud, and Nyght glances at me. She’s talking to the person behind the counter about an orange bong she likes.

You’re preaching to the choir, but I am looking respectfully.

“My name is Lumen.”

Beautiful.

“You should see me."

“Miles, which bong do you like?”

I snap out of my head.

“Wanna pick out a nice green one for me?” I offer her a smile to apologize for my absentee behavior.

She nods and starts eying the glass pieces on the shelf behind the counter.

“The way she’s bending over the counter.. Mmmm.. Think about that position.”

Lumen!

She goes quiet and I focus my attention back to Nyght, who’s now walking towards me ready to go.

“I am ready to see the weed man!” she exclaims and laughs.

We walk to the next building over and I let Nyght take charge again. I think she’s smoked more than she said she did.

I can feel Lumen oggling her every chance she gets, and I can’t blame her. I do feel bad, but I’ve seen Nyght eye me as I bend over before too. She also said I could hit on her…

I zone back in to hear Nyght catching up with the pack member (they apparently went to high school together, and the girl he was dating then cheated on him with a human. I know, tea.) while the other bud tender was gathering our weed.

“Alright, are you ready Miles?” I nod eagerly. I have the perfect movie to show her.
