377 Morning Jog
Jason’s hold on her relaxed slightly. Sandra’s senses felt magnified with him this close... The difference between her attraction to him monts ago was colossal. While she could still control herself enough to keep from saying sothing silly, this change did not go unnoticed.
“I’m glad you’re still here. It doesn’t feel real. I’m bound to aid Cole as his beta alpha, which ans I can’t just do as I please, but you... You don’t have that kind of restriction. You can go anywhere you want. Your family is not even in Lycaon. You could have stayed in Brigadia after Katie was gone and I’d have no right to reject that decision. You could have been stationed sowhere after becoming a hunter. You could have chosen to complete your last school year after Katie left and...”
“Jason...” Sandra called, silencing the beta alpha at once, “I know you’ve always had an eye out for , but I never thought you were this serious about it,” leaning back into his embrace. She might have as well just accept the reality, like her best friend before her.
Jason chuckled, “To be honest, I’ve had my eye on you since the mont we t. You know how seriously I take the bond between mates.”
“I might have heard a thing or two about that... but why of all people? I’m... human,” Sandra sighed.
“That doesn’t matter to ,” the man chuckled, “A mate is one’s other half. Their perfect significant other. Finding out that person is human makes no difference to . You’re perfect just the way you are.”
The hunter blushed heavily. She knew Jason was the occasional smooth talker but he’d never been this aggressive with his words before. It was like he was trying to lt her on the spot. When the alpha noticed the silence that had overtaken the two of them, he asked, “Would you go on a date with tomorrow?”
Frozen Sandra almost forgot the muscles required to keep talking. She was still trying to process what was going on and she took a minute too long to respond, “Y-Yeah... How long have you been planning this?”
Jason finally released her from his hold and allowed her to face him. Rubbing the back of his head nervously, “I don’t think you want the answer to that.”
.....
“Jason’s a creep, huh,” she confird.
“Hey, don’t say it like that. It makes feel like a pervert when I was clearly just hoping and praying to the moon goddess every day that my wolf and I were not wrong,” the man -panicked.
“Can the goddess be that cruel though? To lead you on and...”
“No, it’s not like that. It’s just that so people can be easy to talk to and a desperate unmated male could mistake that to be a sign. Although, I know what that feels like. We were different and I couldn’t ignore it. The doubts are hard to keep away though,” he explained.
“I understand... and I’m glad,” Sandra pulled him into a hug. There they were again, the sparks that went through her body every ti the two of them touched each other. Everything had changed so fast. While Jason had been clearly obsessing over the day when this would happen, Sandra had her own version of longing that kept her close to him.
“Your kindness has been driving crazy.” Her inaudible words were not lost on the beta alpha’s keep hearing and a smile spread across his face as he hugged her back.
“Happy birthday, Sandra.”
.......
Sandra woke up the next day for her morning jog rejuvenated and ready to conquer the day. She sat up abruptly, only to fall back in the bed as mories of the night before stord her brain. A chilling rush went through her as she rembered the plans she had for the day.
It was going to be her first date with Jason. The first date with her ‘mate.’ The word sounded foreign as she tried to roll it off her tongue. She’d read about the concept many tis and every ti she rembered what she’d read, she’d get goosebumps. The girl forced herself out of bed minutes later and joined the pack for the early morning drill.
Lycaon training wasn’t the sa as Sirius training. It was much more grueso even though it passed like a breeze for soone that had been ntored and trained by the Rogue Killer. Sandra still rembered how much her friend trusted her to put down a normal rogue as though it was as simple as breathing. It hadn’t been simple for her, but she bore through it, chasing after the elusive Katie while still watching her go further from her.
“Your head seems to be sowhere else today,” Kyle’s voice broke through her thoughts as they jogged through the forest with the rest of the pack.
“Yeah, well. Today is not a normal day either,” the girl smiled at the thoughts in her mind, then smirked darkly, “A day you might never see in your life.”
“Oh yeah. It must be an amazing day for you. I don’t even know my actual date of birth,” he replied bluntly.
‘Yeah, that’s not what I ant, even though I’m glad you rembered my birthday,’ Sandra suddenly got the urge to facepalm. Her mischievous statent had been rendered useless as well. Kyle didn’t have a birthday.
“The fact that you rember my birthday only makes wonder what kind of stalker you are,” she stated bluntly.
“Huh, of course, I would rember. You forget it was my job to keep track of Katie’s actions. I knew everything about her and her friends. One could say I was...”
“More than a stalker then. You were probably a peeping Tom as well,” Sandra cut him off.
“I wasn’t the latter, but I see your point now,” he sighed, “Walked right into that one, didn’t I?” he grumbled causing Sandra to laugh at him, however, the next thing he said knocked the smile right off her face, “You and Jason, huh. Congrats.”
“How did...”
“I’ve never seen the alpha happier which is saying sothing considering he’s always jolly,” the boy replied, “Try to keep up, will you?” Sandra hadn’t noticed her pace slow down and sped up to keep up with the rest of the pack. ‘I guess it couldn’t have been a dream now, could it?’ she thought to herself.
