Just then the wolf started to shift, the fir became skin, pointed claws to nails, pointed ears to humans. Leo sat there on the ground before me. There was something different about him from the beginning, but I would have never thought of something like this. I would have never believed that anything like this was real, but here it is, happening in front of my eyes.
“I’m sorry Lisa, I should have told you about this from the start.”
“No, you shouldn’t.”
He nodded and started to stand up, I couldn’t help but to go over and help him. He looked at me shocked when I grabbed his arm, then I felt something shoot through his arm and into me. I could tell he had felt it as well. We ignored it for now and walked back to the house. Once I got him inside and sat down on the couch, he finally spoke, but his voice was shaky.
“Thank you, for not freaking out and running away.”
“I had wanted to.”
“I know, I could feel it.”
I looked at him shocked and not sure how to react to his statement. He looked at me up and down, he was checking me out. I looked away trying to ignore the want for him to touch me. I mean this was all moving really fast for me. My last boyfriend and I were together for years. I had known he had done things in his past but he had told me that part of his life was over. I can't really trust anyone, but here I am falling for someone I just met and stuck with. Someone who has such a big secret that if anyone found out they would kill him.
“Stop thinking about that.”
I spun around to look at him, not really sure if he could hear my thoughts or if I was saying them out loud. I mean anything is possible at this moment.
“Yes I can read your mind, but that doesn't make any sense to me. I mean you would have to be my mate or another wolf for me to read your thoughts.”
“What do you mean by mate?”
“Exactly that, my life partner. My other half.”
“How do you know?”
“Know that you're my mate? Simple the way we feel around each other, the shock that went from me to you in the woods. The draw we have to each other.”
It had all made seance, everything he was saying. I had always had a draw to people that were different or dangerous, but I was never really in love. Every person I had been with I had never really loved, even when I was in high school. I looked back up at him and had to say something.
“Are you ok to be by yourself for now.”
He nodded and I started to walk upstairs, but I stopped half way and looked at him, he was looking at his side. When he noticed I had stopped, he looked up at me and smiled. I turned away and started back up the stairs to my room. I hesitated to open the door not sure if I really wanted to be alone. The only reason I did open that door was because I knew I needed to think about what he said and what had happened. I sat down on my bed, the only thing that was going through my mind was that I could or was his mate. If so, what does that mean for me? Why was I kinda happy about that? How will my life change?
I sat there for what seemed forever but it was really only two hours. All of a sudden I had a boost of energy, so I decided to go down to the gym or workout room and take my mind off of things. I got into yoga pants, a tank that I ran in, in the mornings, with my lime green and dark purple shoes. I grabbed a little hand towel out of the bathroom so I could wipe the sweat when I needed to. I walked down the stairs and straight to the gym, I didn’t bother to look around to see if he was still downstairs. I opened the door and closed right behind me, I walked over to the wall were I saw CD’s lined up with a player, he had a large verity. I grabbed Papa Roach and popped it in, I walked right over to the treadmill and started it up.
My run was nice, I always preferred to run on one of these, to me they were smoother. I had sweat running down my face after about half an hour of running. I slowed it down and to a stop. I then went over to the bar hanging off the ceiling and started my pull ups, I normally did five reps or 4, but today I had lost count. I was doing everything I could not to think about Leo and focus on my workout. Once I was worn out enough, I went to the kitchen with the town around my shoulders.
He was sitting at the middle island with a soda in his hand. I walked past him to the fridge, grabbing a water bottle instead of the soda I wanted.
“How was the work out?”
“Good”
I wasn't trying to be short but I couldn’t help it.
“You look wore out, do you need anything?”
“Nope”
“Are you sure?”
“Yep”
He started to notice that I was being distant and walked out. I sat down and let out a sigh. I didn’t know what to do about our situation. He’s a werewolf and I’m just me, yet he says we are mate’s. What are you supposed to say to something like that. Like hey so I know you said we are mate’s and I do think I am falling for you, but I don’t know how this is supposed to work. Yea like that would go over well. So instead I sat there and kept my mouth shut, I mean now when I look at him I just want to make out with his gorgeous lips. Is that normal? I couldn’t tell you. I have never felt this way about anyone before. I guess that’s why I have never been able to keep guys around.
