But ever since my secret meeting in the woods with Grey. A day started to seem too short. It went out pretty quickly in the blink of my eye.
Waking up in the morning, I had a smile on my face instead of a frown. I did my appointed work as fast as I could so the night would arrive soon and I could meet him in the woods. And I didn't even realise how fast time went until I was walking through the woods to the final destination... and I realised there were only two days left.
I walked to our usual spot, where Grey was already waiting on the rock.
Things have been going smoothly. We had small conversations, watched the woods in deep silence, and shared a few kisses. And I forgot it was all temporary. He was a visitor who came to my pack and would go in two days.
"Hey. What are you thinking about?" Grey asked, resting his hand on my knee. He could read my mind. And even the slightest change in me bothered him.
I shook my head. But there was a vast sadness inside me.
"Wanna shift and run in the woods? It will help you to clear up your mind." he offered. I accepted cause Sparkle was already leaping inside me with the happiness to meet up with Blue. So we got down the rock and went our separate ways to shift.
I quickly went behind a tree and stripped down naked. I peeked over to make sure he wasn't around. Then I neatly kept my clothes aside and started shifting. It didn't take that long to shift, but it was a bit more painful because I hadn't shifted in a long time.
Sparkle started sniffing around as soon as she was in charge. He happily yapped and ran to our spot to find Blue. But he wasn't there. So we looked around for him. Sparkle started sniffing around with her snout everywhere. But there was no sign of Blue.
And suddenly, we heard a small snap of a twig, and we got tackled to the ground. Sparkle tried to fight off Blue, who already had us pinned to the ground.
'Remember. This is how we met.' Blue growled, keeping his paw over our neck, but it was only a gentle touch. Then he playfully started licking all over our faces. Sparkle, too, put out her tongue and started licking Blue's snout.
Then using all our strength, Sparkle pushed Blue aside and started running away from him. Blue chased us from behind, and our small bodies made it easy for us to go through, under, and over tree branches and logs. But pretty soon, he caught up with us and again tackled us over.
'Give up already.' Blue said with a laugh.
'In your dreams, buckaroo.' Sparkle teased.
And without going away, Blue slowly made him comfortable on top of us. He didn't put his weight on crushing us but covered us with his body. Sparkle sighed in contentment as she started sniffing around Blue's face.
Basically, it was the first time our wolves got the chance to be with each other. And we all knew that two wolves being in each other's embrace means accepting each other as mates. Though I was still unsure about the whole thing, I decided to go with the flow.
We lay there in each other's personal circle for a while. It was until Blue said it would be better to shift to our human form. We agreed as Blue got off us. Then we started walking back to the area where we had left our clothes. I saw Grey's clothes behind a tree, but he picked them up with him and followed me.
I, too, walked over to where my clothes were. When I was about to shift to my human form Blue appeared next to me with his clothes. Sparkle squinted her eyes and waited for Blue to move, but he didn't. Instead, he started shifting!
Soon after, there stood Grey, naked.
And quickly, Sparkle looked away after I told her to.
"Hey, no need to be shy. We've seen each other already." came his voice from behind.
What the hell... he might not be shy, but I was.
"The patrolling team will be here already. It's time they come here. So we better hurry." Grey said while ruffling through his clothes. Sparkle and I looked behind to see him holding his watch.
He was right.
So Sparkle closed her eyes, and we started shifting. It was the usual, and the beasty look got replaced with my human look. And suddenly I was looking all over for my clothes when I felt eyes on me.
I quickly grabbed my clothes without a word and started wearing them. I quickly put on my dirty t-shirt, but only after wearing it did I realise it was inside out. So I had to remove it again. Damn it.
I heard a low chuckle in front of me. And that person wasn't looking anywhere but at me! Well, that didn't make anything easier for me.
'Look away!' I groaned in my mind.
Grey picked up his t-shirt.
And I quickly turned my one to the correct side.
"Did I ever tell you that you are beautiful?" he suddenly asked.
I froze on the spot and looked at him with my mouth opening and closing like a fish.
"I mean, everything about you is beautiful. Your thoughts to features to wolf too, and now... you... Everything about you." he repeated.
I shyly looked away. Then I quickly put my head through the t-shirt and wore it. But the next thing I knew, he was in front of me with me trapped between his arms. I leaned on the tree. I tried my best to blend with the tree and disappear because I was basically not wearing my lace underwear... and that was when I saw my bra on the ground...
'What the hell is wrong with me? This man is driving me insane I even forgot to wear my undergarments.' I cursed.
Soon his lips found mine, and I got lost in them. His hands cupped my face to deepen our kiss, but my hands remained by the hem of my shirt to pull them down as much as I could, so I was covered.
He broke the kiss pretty quickly after moving his lips lewdly on mine for a few seconds. And then he looked into my eyes, searching for any emotions. I gave him a small smile and released a deep breath.
Then I rested my head on his chest, and our height difference didn't let me reach further. But I was happy with the rhythmic beating of his heart against my ears. I felt his fingers swim in my messy hair, and I loved the closure.
"We both are worried about the same thing, aren't we?" he asked, tilting my head to look up at him. I nodded at his words.
"But I can't simply ask you to come with me," he confessed.
And I felt a vast gush of sadness washing my heart. I wanted to ask him, I wanted to ask him aloud; 'am I not special enough for you to take me out of here?' I had no idea why he said those words.
Why, why, why?
"I don't want the sudden appearance of my mate when you are with me. It will only make things worse... for both of us. So I have to first think about this whole situation." he said.
'Mate...?'
I looked at his eyes again. Those orbs held sadness, hesitance, and determination. I slowly pushed him away. It didn't occur how I was till half-naked from my hips down.
'All this time, I believed he was my mate... one way or another, even when I didn't have a scent, I believed in that. Why doesn't he think I am his mate? Is he that sure I am not his mate? Doesn't he like me that much to think like that? Or was I the only one with feelings?'
