After an hour of dancing with Isabella and Maria and countless drinks my werewolf body started feeling tired and tipsy so I staggered outside into our garden, it was quite large and had a bench swing where I and my dad used to hang out all the time. My werewolf balance obviously wasn’t working properly because I tripped over nothing; I giggled as I straightened myself out and tried to make my way to the swing.

As I sat down, I thought about everything that had happened since my dad died, from the outside it seemed that Alex and Gloria had taken his death the hardest but I knew that wasn’t true. They just used his death as an excuse to misbehave, I know it sounded harsh but it was the truth, they never made the most of dad’s time when he was alive so I think the guilt that ate at them every single day affected them deeper than his death. Just then I had a drunken epiphany, why was I wasting time denying Jay when we could be having good times? I’d been incredibly selfish and judgemental, after my dad’s death I just assumed that all werewolves were on the bad side. I’d just made the decision to look for Jay when I felt someone sit by me, the warmth spreading up my arm instantly gave away his identity,

“I was just about to come find you; I have some things to say to you.” Jay looked incredible in the moonlight, he had on a pair of jeans and a black button up shirt, his hair was shimmering slightly in the light. Overall he looked amazing.

“I’ve been thinking about us. Since my dad died I made myself think that all werewolves were bad, that’s why I didn’t want anything to do with the pack, let alone you; so you can imagine the surprise I had when I found out you of all people had to be my mate.” I shivered slightly as the breeze blew past, he must have noticed this because he pulled me closer into his arms, enveloping me in warmth, I sighed and relaxed into his side. I was pleasantly surprised that he hadn’t said anything yet so I continued,

“That’s why I want to give us a shot Jay. I don’t want to waste time anymore holding grudges, so will you accept me as your mate?” for the first time he actually smiled! He didn’t need words to express how he felt he leaned in closer and I closed my eyes and leaned in too. His soft lips met mine and I was in heaven, tingles exploded in my body and it felt as if my heart would burst out any minute now. We broke apart and just stared at each other,

“Just because I accepted you doesn’t mean that I’m gonna jump into bed with you right this minute. We have to take things slow.” I searched his eyes for any signs of emotion and all I saw was… love? I shivered again as the wind picked up,

“I promise we’ll take things slow and I promise I’ll take you on a date tomorrow.” His usual smirk was back on his face as we stood up. He held his hand out for me and I gladly took it and lead him past the dancing bodies and into my room. I was confused when I saw that Isabella and Marie’s stuff was gone from my bedroom but they’d left all the food. After scanning my room quickly I found a note on my pillow,

“We saw you and loverboy shacking up outside, so we thought you might want your room free ;) We’ll arrange for another sleepover next week.

Isabella and Marie. <3”

I laughed out loud and passed the note to Jay, he read it quickly and a huge smile that could only mean trouble appeared on his face,

“Well now your friends are gone, this means that we can watch a movie and finish all this food and play some games!” Jay wiggled his eyebrows suggestively and smiled at me some more, I sauntered over to my bed and picked out some pyjamas and walked to my bathroom. Before I shut the door I shouted behind my shoulder,

“In your dreams loverboy.”

Thanks for reading! I've got a new story called The Last Three of Their Kind so if you've got time to check it out that would mean a lot to me!!
