Starting Over

Chapter 11

Lexi POV

I couldn't catch him. Even when he was human, I couldn't catch him. I wanted to, I tried my best, but it wasn't good enough.

The change back from wolf to human sucked just as much as the changing into a wolf had.

I didn't bother putting on a bra. It would rub my skin raw. I threw on a loose shirt and some sweatpants. My skin still didn't feel great, but I was starting to get used to it.

I didn't have much of a choice.

Mason was waiting for me down the hall. "I could hear you complaining all the way down here."

I rolled my eyes at him. "I'm still getting use to all this. I don't like the feeling of clothes right after I change."

When he smirked I knew I had set myself up. "You can walk around without clothes. I don't mind."

"Right, like that's going to happen." I shot back, sarcastically, as I followed him outside.

"I thought we were going to get something to eat." I complained. My stomach was growling for food.

He heard my stomach growl, "Don't worry. They're barbecuing at the house. There will be a lot of food."

I hopped into his truck and waited for him to get in. He was taking his time because he knew I was hungry.

I looked back at him. He was looking at the ground. "Hurry up." I said to him.

He looked up and nodded. "Give me a second."

It didn't take great will to get into a car. The only danger was him not taking me to food quickly enough. "Giving yourself a pep talk?"

He shrugged. "One day you'll understand what your scent does to wolves like me."

"And what's that?" I asked impatiently. I wanted to go to food!

He let out a slow breath as he stared at me.

He can stare all he wants as long as he takes us to food! My wolf grumbled unhappy with the wait.

"Let's go."

He broke eye contact and hopped in the truck.

He rolled down all the windows as soon as he started the truck.

I lifted the shirt to my nose. He hadn't been around for two changes before, so maybe I smelled. I took a deep breath, but I didn't smell anything bad. It just smelled like me.

"You don't stink. Don't worry."

I huffed and dropped the shirt from my nose. "You rolled down all the windows."
