Taken In By An Alpha And His Family

Candice learns the Identity of the Boy

The day started the same with Candice driving to school after dropping Laurie off. As she walked to her locker she spotted Dee and her other best friend Logan waiting for her, and she shrieked as she launched herself at him. He caught her and twirled her around laughing as she giggled.

"I missed you" Candice said with a smile. Logan had been on a trip with his family visiting Europe for three weeks and Candice had missed him immensely. Logan was the very epitome of a sexy hunk. He had short blonde hair and vivid brown eyes with blonde stubble on his pointed chin. His body was lean but muscular and he looked smoking hot in black jeans and blue tank top. He had an earring in one ear and his grin could make a woman swoon. He was also gay and completely out of the closet, not giving a s*** about other people's views on it.

He winked at Candice and leaned against the locker, with his arms folded. "I heard there's a new Boy" he said shooting a glance at Dee "any chance he's gay." He sounded a tiny bit hopeful and Candice felt her heart twinge. Logan hadn't met anyone yet and she knew how badly he wanted to find someone to date.

"Sorry hun" Dee drawled "he's definitely not gay."

"How can you be so sure" Candice said eyeing her.

"Would it help if I told you I wasn't?" A voice asked interrupting them and they all jumped as the new boy swaggered over.

He looked amused as Candice's mouth went dry at how gorgeous he looked. His jeans were hugging tightly to his physique and his shirt was covered with a leather jacket. He smiled at them, although he eyed Dee's bright hair askance. Candice's mouth watered as she smelt honeysuckle and vanilla. Strange cologne she thought absent mindedly as he stuck his hand out to Logan.

"I'm Damon" he said easily as Logan shook it.

He burst out in laughter as Logan fanned himself and asked "are you sure you aren't willing to try."

Shaking his head he shook Dee's hand and then turned to Candice who sucked in a breath. Was it her imagination or had his eyes turned black for a second?

Candice shook his hand next and then introduced him to Logan and Dee. She was a little puzzled about why he was talking to them but then he made it clear.

"Candice" he said turning to her while Dee smothered a laugh "How would you like to go on a date with me?"

She hesitated. For some strange reason she felt drawn to him and the urge to say yes was wavering on her tongue. But she had Laurie to think about not to mention her work, she thought in disappointment. Who would want to date someone who worked as a stripper? She needed to keep her secret from everyone, couldn't afford to let anyone in who might find out.

"I can't" Candice said finally, ignoring Dee who's mouth had dropped open in disbelief.

"If you work I can be flexible with the time" he said smoothly and Candice bit her lip. Why was he asking her out when he didn't know her or seen her before? She began to grow suspicious about his motives and wondered if he just wanted to get into her pants.

"What kind of date?" She asked surprising him.

"I was thinking a movie at my house" he began and she held up a hand to stop him.

"I am not that kind of girl" she said icily as Logan face palmed himself behind her.

"I think you have the wrong idea" he said nervously and Candice's eyes flashed.

"You don't know me, this is the first time we have talked and you want me to go to your house for a date" she hissed "I'm pretty sure I have an idea of what you are after."

His face fell as he began to protest. Candice huffed angrily as she grabbed Dee and Logan by the hand and fairly marched them all to their first class. The nerve of him she thought thoroughly P***** off.

Damon watched her go, his heart sinking. His wolf called Mint was pacing in his head growling furiously. "You really messed that up."

I know, thought Damon. How was I to know how she would take it? Mint sent him a visual of himself laying down with his head on his paws whining.

Alright I'll fix it somehow, he said to his wolf annoyed. Mint growled in agreement still upset at him and Damon rolled his eyes heading to his first class.
