My Wolf

CHAPTER 10

Jughead

Lunch seemed to come quickly and I made sure to grab Betty before she made her way to the cafeteria, I wasn't going to allow a repeat of yesterday. I walked with her to our table where we met Toni, Sweet Pea, and Fangs who were sitting at the serpent table with then other teenage serpents. "Ok Betty let me give you the rundown since I didn't get to do it yesterday," Toni began. "So you see that table over there, that is the Blood Moon Clan. They are vampires, if you try you can probably smell the blood. The hottie is Cheryl Blossom, resident HBIC and also my mate," she says with a spark in her eye. I never used to understand but now I do. "The redhead beside her is Archie Andrews and the dark haired one is Reggie Mantle, they're alright just don't go near the boys without one of us with you for a while."

"That other table over there," she continued, " is the Sweetwater Coven, the witches of Riverdale. Definitely not the most powerful people around but they got some pretty interesting spells and they are pretty nice. Josie, Veronica, and Kevin are the only teenage witches and Kevin is Fangs' mate." Betty sat quietly taking it all in but kept glancing around the room at everybody else, I could already tell what she was thinking. "The rest of them are human," I said, "they don't know we exist." She nodded and then leaned into my chest, I could tell she was having a little bit of trouble adjusting to all of this. "Take a breath baby," I whisper to her, "you will get used to it." I watch her breath in my scent to calm down and it warms my heart. She has turned my world upside down, and I wouldn't want it any other way.

Betty

We all went to the office and had our schedules switched around so we could be in the same classes, Ms. Bell seemed to feel sorry for me so she was willing to do just about anything for me if she thought it meant I would have friends. The rest of the school day seemed to go off without a hitch and before I knew it Jug was giving me a kiss on my cheek and sending me off on the back of Toni's motorcycle towards the mall. It was mid spring and was quite chilly on the bike but still manageable. We were met outside the mall by the one Toni told me was her mate, Cheryl I think it was.

"TT!" she cried as Toni parked the motorcycle, they met in the middle and gave each other a passionate kiss before Toni pulled away and brought Cheryl over to me. I was barely off the bike before introductions were given. "Betty this is my lovely mate Cheryl, Cher this is Betty, Jughead's mate." "Cheryl's eyes sparkled at the mention of me being Jughead's mate, something told me she loved playing matchmaker and this was almost as exciting for her. "It's nice to meet you," I said, offering a handshake. She looked at my hand before grabbing it and pulling me into a hug, I chuckled as she pulled back, "family of TT's is family of mine, now if I understand correctly today we get to give you a full makeover!?" she was practically bouncing in excitement while Toni and I laughed. "FP gave me permission to spend whatever I needed to to get Betty everything she will need."

We spend the next three hours travelling from store to store, trying on clothes, shoes, collecting bathroom supplies and makeup, and even picking out a phone, a case, and wireless earbuds. By the time we were done everyone was drowning in shopping bags. Toni had the bright idea to stop by the food court and I couldn't have agreed more, I don't mind shopping but this was just a bit much. We dropped off our shopping bags in Cheryl's car and made our way back inside. We bought our food and found a table.

"So Betty, let me see your mark." Cheryl said after taking a sip of her soda. "My what?" I asked, not quite sure of what she was talking about. "Has he not marked her yet? That doesn't seem like Jughead," Cheryl said looking at Toni. "Yesterday was pretty wild, it is not often you find a werewolf who didn't know they were one," Toni responded. I gave her a quizzical look and she began to explain. "When you find your mate, most mark each other within hours of meeting." I do remember FP mentioning this but he didn't go into detail. "It happens during sex, he will bite into your bonding spot. It will sting a little but then it will feel amazing, because you are also a wolf you will do the same to him. The mark will form into somewhat of a tattoo by the next morning and it will allow you to feel each other's emotions and find one another."

I was a little taken aback by what she was telling me. I mean of course I found Jughead attractive, he is so smart and kind and sexy. I could tell this mate bond thing was pulling me to him. "Why didn't he mark me?" I asked Toni, not knowing whether I should be offended or not. "He wants to make you comfortable Betty, sex yesterday would have overwhelmed you even more. When you are ready talk to him about it, I can tell he is just dying to mark you." I thought about it, what would it be like. I had never had sex before and I was kinda nervous, I trust Jug but what if it hurts? My thoughts were interrupted by my favourite voice popping into my head.

J - How's it going beautiful? Enjoying yourself?

B - Yes I am, but I can't wait to see you.

J - Me neither, I'll be waiting for you when you get back alright.

B - Ok, we'll be back soon.

J - Alright love, I'll see you then.

As we had our private conversation a smile spread across my face which apparently was a dead give away. "Tell Jug I said hi," Cheryl said. My cheeks flushed as I finished my food; Toni smirked at me, "Oh puppy love, it's too cute." When we were done we made our way out to the car, Toni hopped on her bike and led the way while me and Cheryl followed in the car filled with clothes. Tonight I would have to talk with Jug about this whole marking thing, it sounds rather appealing to me.
