Jas was embarrassed at the fact that Petra, Zack, and Erik noticed they were being followed, yet he didn't. No matter how buzzed he was from beer, and how much fun he had, as the future Alpha of the Red Moon pack, he should catch onto these things before others.
Jas cursed internally. Things like these will make him look incompetent. If his father gets a wind of this, Jas will get punished and probably his training regi will increase.
The situation beca worse when Jas realized that the woman didn't have a wolf, which ant that his three friends were protecting him from a human. This was definitely a new low from him.
He should be the one standing in front of whatever was coming and confidently telling the intruder to scram or face the consequences, but when his eyes t Cornelia's, Jas found himself dumbstruck. He never saw a woman more beautiful in his life, and the way his wolf stirred told Jas that they agreed on this point.
Was she here for him? It seed like it. Why else would she crane her neck to look at him through the visual obstruction that Petra, Zack, and Erik provided?
Cornelia went to explore the town. Considering her experience with Mindy tackling her, Cornelia decided to stick to the shadows and observe people and surroundings.
The group of four teens got Cornelia's attention as she felt a silent pull she couldn't recognize, so she followed them for most of the evening while trying to figure out what it was.
It's not that no one noticed Cornelia, there were patrols mixed in with regular folks, but without her wolf, they assud Cornelia is human, hence harmless. Warriors guarding the packhouse knew she was staying there as Gideon's cousin, so no one blocked her way.
"Answer ! Why are you following us!?", Petra demanded, and her shoulders tightened as she lowered her body and her arms spread, ready to attack at any mont.
Cornelia glanced at three teens who were on high alert, and she didn't want to waste words on them. With a wave of her finger, a streak of silvery light appeared out of thin air and split into three, shooting at Petra, Zack, and Erik who were too surprised to react to this developnt. They never saw anything like it, and by the ti they recovered, neither of them could move a muscle.
'What the hell?', Zack cursed into the mind-link for Petra and Erik to hear.
'I can't move!', Petra exclaid in panic. 'Should we alert the guards?'
'Wait.', Erik said. 'She doesn't appear hostile.'
'You call this NOT hostile?', Petra hissed.
'We are not hard. Only incapacitated.', Erik said flatly.
'What will we do if Jas is hard?', Petra asked. 'It's our mission to protect him!'
By this ti, Zack cald down enough to analyze the situation. 'If she wanted to harm us, we would be gone before we knew what hit us. I don't like this, but let's think about the consequences. Our only option is to call guards, which would count as a mission failed. Stay alert. Don't rush into things. If she did this on the driveway to the packhouse, we would be gone without knowing what hit us.'
Petra and Erik agreed with this.

"Can I talk to you?", Cornelia asked Jas.
"?", he asked with surprise evident in his voice. Why would this mysterious beauty want to talk to him?
"Will you hide behind your girlfriend?"
Jas cleared his throat. "Petra is not my girlfriend. We are just friends."
"Just friends.", Cornelia repeated. "Good."
Jas fird his resolve and walked between Petra and Erik to stand in front of them, wondering why neither of them moved. Petra's back was blocking his view and he didn't see the silvery light display.
"What is your na?", Cornelia asked.
"Jas. Why are you looking for ?"
Jas dismissed the idea of Cornelia being hostile due to the fact that they were in the middle of the Dark Howlers pack. Who would dare to attack him openly? His next guess was that she was interested in him because of his identity. It wouldn't be the first ti for a girl (or a woman) to co onto him. After all, he is the future Alpha of the Red Moon pack.
But she asked for his na, and Jas wondered if she really didn't know who he was or maybe she was just a good actress, good enough to trick the observation skills that he polished to the extre.
Cornelia looked at Jas and her smile faded. "Can't you feel it?"
"Feel what?"
"Aren't you a werewolf?", she asked her next question.
"Yes. So?"
Her eyes moved over his face as if searching for sothing, and then she released a breath of disappointnt.
"Nothing.", Cornelia said and lifted her hand, her index finger rotated in the air, and Petra, Erik, and Zack were able to move now. "I apologize for disturbing you. It seems I made a mistake."
The sadness in her voice cut Jas' heart in half and when she turned to leave, he was quick to grab her wrist.
"Wait!", Jas exclaid. "What should I feel?"
Cornelia stared at the point where he was holding her, his hand warm and firm, big enough to circle her wrist completely.
She twisted her hand, to get out of Jas' grasp. "Nothing. It's not important."
"But it is!" He knew it was. Jas moved to stand in front of Cornelia and block her way. "Tell ."
Cornelia thought that there was no harm in asking, "Doesn't your kind feel when you et your soulmate?"
Jas' eyes widened. "Mate? Yes, we can feel it." He swallowed hard when he realized an impossible possibility. "Are you saying you are my mate?"
Cornelia shook her head. "Obviously not. Otherwise, you would feel the pull, and there would be no need to ask."
Cornelia was confused. She felt sothing and while following them, she identified that it was not Petra, nor Zack, not Erik, which left Jas. And now that he stood in front of her, the energy was clearly there, but maybe it was sothing else.
She thought that maybe all those clothes were interfering with her senses, so she swiftly removed her t-shirt.
Jas' eyes widened in shock. No bra!
He couldn't believe that just this sight made his pants tighten in the groin area! Sure, he was a healthy (almost) sixteen years-old boy, but he saw plenty of flesh in his life and this shouldn't affect him so much. However, her breasts were round with perky peaks, and he balled his hands into fists to prevent himself from groping her. When did he turn into a lecher?
Jas stared at Cornelia's perfectly round breasts for a second longer than appropriate before he was able to force his gaze to et Cornelia's.
"What about now?", she asked.
"It doesn't work that way.", Jas squeaked and cursed internally at his voice that betrayed how aroused he was.
