Erick’s P.O.V
The next morning I was regretting even thinking about Caroline last night and even more so what I was planning to do before dad stopped me. I was just thinking about having some fun, but I never once stopped to think about how it would make May feel, which was wrong. I decided to stop at a flower shop, on my way to pick May up, but I didn’t know what flowers she liked, so I got her tulips, hoping that she would like them. It was almost time for her to finish work, so I walked into Gators with a smile plastered on my face. I wanted nothing more than to forget what I was trying to do last night, so I sucked it up and walked inside with the flowers in my hand.
“She’s still in her office, but I’m not sure if she’s done yet.” Walter said, walking over to me, but just as he said that May walked out of the office. As soon as she saw me standing next to Walter she stopped right in her tracks, which made me smile.
May’s P.O.V
I was in the office finishing up the paperwork for today because we had a s**t load of stuff come in on this truck and unloading it had made my arms and legs hurt, but I sucked it up and did my job. I was done by five thirty and I was so ready to go home. It had been a really long day and I was tired, but I knew there was a chance that Erick would be here. I left the office and when I got outside I was surprised to see that Erick was standing next to Walter and they were talking, but what surprised me the most was that Erick was holding a bunch of beautiful flowers.
“Thank you, I love tulips, they are so pretty.” I said, as Erick handed me the flowers. I looked into Erick’s eyes and as soon as I did I knew right away that there was something wrong, but if he didn’t want to tell me then I wouldn’t force him to.
“Hi, are you ready to head out? I can follow you in my car, if you want.” I asked, smiling at him.
“How about I follow you home so you can drop your car off and then we can take my car.” Erick replied and I nodded. I took a big whiff of the flowers and they smelled lovely. Erick and I left the store and we both got into our cars, heading back to my house. When I finally got home all I wanted to do was get out of my work clothes and put some clean ones on.
“Come in, I’m just going to freshen up and get changed.” I said and Erick nodded, following me into my house. I showed him into the living room and while I went to the kitchen, grabbed a drink and then went back into the living room and handed him the glass of iced tea.
“I’ll be right back, make yourself at home.” I said, leaving him and going into my bedroom. I had a quick shower, dried off and rushed to get dressed. I decided on my black jeans and a pink top, then put my shoes on. I let my hair lay over my shoulders and put a little make-up on and I was then done. I looked at the clock and saw that I had been gone for about twenty minutes, which was a personal best for everything I had just done.
Erick’s P.O.V
I couldn’t believe that I was actually inside her house and I was stunned to see that it was a little bigger than what I thought it would be. I sat down on the couch and was looking around while I was drinking the iced tea she had given me, but it was too bad that she didn’t have anything stronger. I could have done with it right about now with how guilty I felt when I looked at her. Maybe she hid it or something, but there was no way I was going to go snooping for it, I thought to myself. I looked at the living room and it was nice and warm, cosy even. There was a huge mirror on the far left corner and a flat screen TV mounted on the wall, there was also a chair and couch that matched and a nice glass coffee table with a brown rug underneath it. There was some mail left on the coffee table that was addressed to May Woods, even thinking her name had me smiling. I loved her name and how it sounded when it came out of my mouth and when I thought about it. I could tell that she was very house proud because this place was very clean, even the couch was dust free. On the other side of the room there was a desk with a laptop set up in the middle of it and a tablet next to that.
“Nice.” I said out loud to myself, hoping that she would let me have a go on them some time. I could even show her a few things on them, but not right now, I have to earn her trust first. I heard her bedroom door open and I stood up from the couch, waiting for her to come into the living room and when she did my mouth dropped open. She looked absolutely beautiful.
“Are you ready to go?” May asked and all I could do was nod. She smiled at me and we left her house, getting into my car. I drove away from her house and headed to my pack house, but the whole time I was hoping and praying that nothing would go wrong. I hoped that nothing was going to spoil this.
Unknown’s P.O.V
“Scott, do you think we can do this, make her yours? You know that you have to talk to her sometime, but if Erick marks her then you won’t be able to get near her, dude.” Angie said, making me shake my head and sigh.
“Angie, have you forgotten that I don’t play by the rules, I break all of them and I don’t get caught. If he marks her then I’ll just mark her on top of his and his mark will fade away, then she will be mine. Angie, you should know me by now, I get what I want, hell I got you at one point, didn’t I?” I said and she rolled her eyes at me.
“Yes, you did until I came back to my senses and now I have no family, so I’m stuck with you in this crazy pack of yours. I told you I would help you so that I could leave, so that’s what I’m going to do.” Angie said, giving me a headache.
“Right, right, as soon as we get her you can leave the pack and you won’t ever have to come back.” I said and she nodded.
“Fine, so what's the plan?” Angie asked, but I shook my head.
“Plan, well, I don’t have one just yet…” I replied and Angie looked at me like I was completely nuts.
Angie’s P.O.V
“So you’re telling me that we are out here day after day, watching her with Erick and you have no plan? None whatsoever.” I asked, shaking my head at him in disbelief as I began walking away.
“Come to me when you have a plan, a full plan and then we can talk.” I said and shifted into my wolf. I ran back to the pack, but the whole time I couldn’t help thinking that Scott was completely crazy. I mean he has no plan and she’s a human, plus the mate of a werecat Alpha, that's just nuts. This is going to be one hell of a fight and it's one that I really don’t want to get into. I have a life to live and I’m not going to die over this, not for him. Somehow I was going to have to get the humans phone number or the tigers, but I was going to have to work fast and hope that they believed me when I told them what was going on, but how could I get their numbers?
“Wait, she works at that store called Gators, so maybe we could go there.” My wolf said and it was a great idea. We had been watching her for some time now so we knew how we could get to her and how we could talk to her. I could go to the store, buy something and ask to see her, then I could try to tell her and just pray that she doesn’t freak out.
“Well, there you go, I have a full plan, unlike that dumbass.” I said, talking to my wolf, who smiled happily in my head.
