I Don't Have A Mate

Chapter 31

~~~

I was sitting at our main table carving out a squirrel. Barely being able to contain my excitement.
"You look like your going to explode." Luke said as he, Bianca and Scarlett sat down beside
"She is." Jordan said, who was sitting opposite me, fully awake and wrapped in my handy work.
"What?" Bianca said confused.
"Thomas is coming today." I said putting my carving tools down.
"The nice boy Jade possessed."
"She didn't possess him, and yes."
'To be honest I kinda did possess him.' Jade said.
'Well look you decided to wake up.'
'Shut up.'
'Never in your wildest dream.'
'Well, I have a nap to get to so don't be go interrupting me.'
'Sure sure.' Was the last thing I said before she cut me off.
I picked up my tools continuing my squirrel.
"What are you making?" Scarlett asked me.
"A squirrel." I replied, showing her the piece of wood that resembled a block of wood at this point.
She raised her eyebrows at me.
"You have to use your imagination at this point."
She widened her eyes and gasped.
"I can see it now. It's definitely a squirrel." She said pointing at the lifeless block of wood.
"Another squirrel Sav?" Darren asked as he sat down beside Jordan.
I nodded.
"You and your Norse mythology."
I grinned.
"We come hand in hand." I said.
"Hey, you better not be cheating on me." Ethan said sitting by Darren.
Darren put his hand on Ethan's shoulder.
"I'm sorry, but she cheating on you with a squirrel."
Ethan dramatically gasped, placing his hand over his heart.
"Sweetheart, how could you, I thought we were in love."
At this point everyone was looking at us.
"No love, I love this, much more, handsome squirrel." I said kissing the clump of wood.
Which resulted in me choking on the saw dust that I swallowed. Resulting in the entire table erupting in laughter.
After the laughing had died down, the door bell rang through out the house, since most of the pack was at the beach, on one of their beach days, there pack house was relatively empty.
"Tommy." I shouted running to the front door.
Of course it was only the post man delivering the truck full of mail, literally the truck full of mail, one of the amazing jobs I had to do each month, before I left.
After directing the truck to the mail house, I walked back to the cafeteria, where I was greeted by Thomas who had arrived in the time I was with the postman.
"Tommy." I said running up to him.
"Anna." Thomas said scooping me up in a hug.
We released our embrace.
"How have you been and what is this you hurt you?" He said waving his arms at my scars, which I now remember he has never seen.
"This is my past, we don't talk about my past." I said copying is arm movements.
"And I'm good, kinda, what about you?" I asked.
"But who did that to you?"
"You're really asking that question in the house of the man that faked your death, stole your mate and killed her?" I asked.
He clenched his fist. "I am going to kill him."
"No, your not." I said.
"And what makes you think you can stop me?" He asked.
"Only the fact that I am one of the strongest fighters, that is a werewolf may I remind you, and you can't even throw a straight punch."
"So?"
"So, even if I don't stop you one, you're too innocent to kill someone, and two I'm pretty sure he would kill you long before you even threw a punch."
"At least I would have tried, unlike you."
"Okay, that's kinda rude, and I don't want you to get hurt."
"Fine." He said.
"So," I said changing the topic, "how are you, any girls caught your eye?"
He blushed and looked down.
"OMG! You're actually human, you like someone." I shouted jumping onto his back.
"I'm pretty sure I'm the only human here." He said laughing.
"Well," I said.
"Well what?"
"Never mind, so who's the lucky girl?" I asked.
"Well," he said looking nervously at Ethan.
"Come on spill." I said poking his arm.
"When did you become a girly girl?" He asked cheekily.
"Since I been spending my time around other females, like those two." I said pointing at Scarlett and Bianca. Who put there hands up surrendering.
"Fair point." He said.
"And since you got a crush, now spill." I said hopping down from his back.
"Murphy." He said.
Darren groaned and put twenty dollars on the table.
Thomas raised his eyebrows.
"You're betting on this?"
"Maybe." I said cheekily.
"So that a yes."
"Of course it is, so are you dating, or just friends?"
"We've been dating for three weeks."
Cue for the groan of Jordan, who put another twenty dollars on the table.
"You asked her out right?" Ethan cut in.
Thomas turned to me. "The Fred and George Weasley bet aye?"
"Ireland wins but Krum catches the snitch." Ethan said.
Thomas raised his eyebrow. "Not you Anna?"
I shook. "I think, Murphy too old fashioned."
"Well, I hope you have twenty dollars on you." He said, and I groaned placing a twenty on the table.
"Good old Murph." Ethan said claiming his prize.
"How did you know?" I asked.
"You didn't know her the last time she dated someone. She's strong, she takes what she wants and has extremely good judgement about it." Ethan explained.
"True, I thought she was more old fashioned." I said.
"Oh, she is."
"Then why-"
"I never said she wasn't impatient."

We left Thomas and Scarlett to talk, when we left they were already talking about Rachel.
And I was currently talking to Luke and Bianca. Having some bonding family time.
"So Luke how's life, you seem happier." Bianca said.
"Good, I mean I'm going to be a father." He replied.
"Other than that. How's work." She said.
"Well, I took some of that advice you gave me Sav." Luke said turning to me.
"Oh yes and what fabulous advice was that?"
"I worked on the exterior designing with the kids."
"Oh yes, how did that work out for you."
"The new pack house is going to be a Death Star."
"Of course it is." I said rolling my eyes.
"So-" Luke started.
"Savannah." Ethan shouted.
"Yes love?" I asked turning around on the spot.
"Did you prank me?" He asked, as Jordan and Leo came around the corner.
I frowned. "No why? What happened?"
"This," he said pointing to a sticky note. "Has apparently been stuck to my head since I last saw you."
"Let's see." I asked reaching out for the note.
It had today's date, my name and 'Pond'.
"Brilliant." I said laughing.
"What?" Ethan asked confused. "Did you do this?"
"No, but it's hilarious."
"Do you know who did this."
"Yes, I do, and it's great."
"Who?"
"Hmm?" I asked.
"Who did it?"
"I have no idea."
"But you just said."
"I know what I said Ethan."
"Your not going to tell me are you."
"Nope." I said popping the 'p'.
"What does it mean."
"That I have new plans tonight and can't come to gaming night." I said before walking off.
