"Carter! Don't you dare!"
At the moment Carter was holding me by my waist over the pool behind the pack house threatening to toss me into the water in my t-shirt and sweat pants. He laughed and dropped me anyway.
"Sorry. Didn't hear ya."
Oh, no. He was not getting away with this.
As I resurfaced I gave him big puppy dog eyes.
"C-carter i-i-its c-co-cold."
A look of guilt passed over his face and he quickly reached down to scoop me up out of the water. As he reached down I pulled his wrist with all my strength so he flew into the water face first. I laughed and tried to climb out but a pair of strong hands grabbed my waist and pulled me back under. He spun me around so I was fave to face with him. He stuck his tounge out and rose back to the surface.
He sat on the edge of the pool and pulled me up to sit next to him. He then wrapped his arms around my shoulders and rested his head on my shoulder to keep me warm. I looked up in the sky to see that in a week it would be a full moon. Oh, no.
If a werewolf meets his/her mate sometimes there was an immediate reaction. The usual growl of 'mine' or 'mate'. But sometimes the realization of finding your mate didn't come until the next full moon after meeting your mate. I suppose if I've found my mate I'll be finding out soon enough. I worry of who it might be considering the full moon also starts heat. Heat is when the goddess Luna supposedly makes the mates more attracted to each other, if you know what I mean, to increase the chances of offspring aka kids. Needless to say I suppose it gets a tad awkward in this house during the two months of heat. When Eli explained all this my cheeks turned to a bright red as she used words other than attracted. that was a conversation I could've done without.
Carter leaned over and grabbed a towel from the pool chair and wrapped it around both of us. Somehow this felt right. Not at all weird or awkward. Normally if a guy tried this they would have a swollen lip from where I punched them in the mouth. But with Carter I didn't want him to ever let go.
