Alpha's Mate

Part 25-Distractions

James

"Hey, wakey, wakey." Abby said as she poked my cheek. I swatted it away. I needed sleep. Sleep needed me.

"James, please. I'm worried about Joseph." Abby said concerned. I groaned. "Fine, but it's because of you." I said as I got up. Then I realized.

I needed to go use the washroom. But being out here in the wild, I didn't know what to do. "Um..." I said, looking around. "Go." Abby said and I ran behind a bush to do my business. I am never doing that again, ever.

I pulled up my pants and walked towards Abby. She looked much better than yesterday night. I helped her to her feet and we got our bags. Abby started running to the right. I followed her clueless and at the same time, I popped a mint of excel into my mouth. Abby runs to the left after a few minutes and I follow her, wondering how she would know her way through this forest.

Then she stopped abruptly, and I almost crashed into her. "What?" I asked. "Shh..." she said as she looked around. Then she looked down. "I could sense Joseph, but I couldn't mind link him; where he is kept has blocked anyone from contacting him. We will have to shift in order to find him faster." she said as she started to take of her bag, easing it onto the ground. I slowly followed her movements, taking my bag of as well. Then we looked at each other briefly before we both turned around and stripped until we were naked.

I heard the sound of bones cracking and I knew she was shifting. I shifted as well and when i was in full wolf form, i turned around to look at her. She looked at me with her beautiful eyes and I was ressting the urge to look away. I was no match for her.

I grabbed my bag and clothes in my mouth and stood beside her. Surprisingly, we weren't that different from each other. Her wolf was silver, mine was gray. What seperated us was that I had a brown paw that was from my mother; she was a brown wolf. I moved closer to her until our furs brushed against each other, and my wolf purred.

Abby looked at me before she began to run. I caught up with her easily, but she ran faster. I used my wolf abilities to catch up with her again. She wiggled her long tail and for a second, I was paralyzed by how soft it looked that I slowwed down. In an instant she was metres ahead of me and I shook my head. She distracted me.

I ran faster, my paws hitting the ground in a swift movement no one would have heard it. I noticed she has stopped running and moved her head back to see me. "What?" I asked breathless. "Tired?" she smirked.

"No." I started to run ahead of her to prove my point, then realized I didn't know where I was going. Nice move, James, Thomas ( my wolf ) said. So I turned instantly, and even flicked my tail a little to show off its softness. I walked back to her and flicked my tail again, making contact with hers. She noticed, and did the same thing back. Soon, we were fighting and rolling around on the floor. We pawed at each other playfully and finally, I pinned her down to the floor. I leaned in closer, so my snout touched hers.

We were breathing heavily with me on top of her. Then I simply said, "I win." and got off to lay on my side, still in my wolf form. She rolled herself back on her feet and sat next to me. I became hungry, so I nudged our bags with my nose. I didn't want to shift, not yet, I liked my wolf self.

Abby went to grab her clothes and went behind the tree I was lying against. While she was changing, I was tempted to look back. But I didn't. I'm not a pervert.

When she came back out in her suit, she grinned at me and took an apple from her bag. She grinned at me and took a big long bite out of her delicious apple. My mouth watered at the scene in front of me. She bent down on her knees and slowly reached out a hand to stroke my fur. I moved closer to her and put my head on her lap. I took a sniff. Mmhmm...

I quickly moved my head back and she slide her hand down from the tip of my nose to the bottom of my tail. I shivered at the feeling. My stomach growled again. I NEED FOOD!!! I have never felt this hungry before. Man, I could eat a horse.

If she's not going to feed me that apple, I will literally kill the first living squirrel that comes by my face and eat it raw. Abby threw the apple at me and I caught it in my mouth. I crunched the whole thing and swallowed it. The. I spit out the core and looked at her pleadingly for another one.

Abby got up, "No, we have to keep moving; he's here somewhere." I took my things on my mouth and followed her. In most descriptions, wolves carry their stuff in their mouth, but do they mention that your mucus would come out of your mouth. Yeah, not very nice. Once in a while, I would drop down my stuff to swallow it before continuing.

Abby asked if she could sit on my back. I would've said right away, but I was tired. I haven ate much. I nodded, but my face told her I wanted to say no. She noticed and just patted my back instead and gave me a fried chicken. Holy... where did she get that juicy chicken.

I bit it hard and the bone cracked. I spit that out and ate the rest. I looked at her, a look that meant 'where did you get those?' We continued our way until we found it. It was a village set up similar to ours. Abby ordered me to shift, so I did.

There was a water stream nearby and we dipped ourselves in it, covering our scent. It was uncomfortable to be wet, but it cooled down our sweaty bodies. "That chicken was good. Did you bring a whole dinner for me?" I joked.

She laughed lightly and said, "I brought half of it." I smiled at her, my real smile, because I was happy she found me funny and interesting. I liked making her grin like that.

We observed the area for a few moments. Abby even took out a paper and pencil to draw the map of the place. What we've figured out so far was that there was a dungeon on the far corner of the whole area. Who'd be that stupid? We could easily sneak in from the side behind the trees. Then after more studying of the place, we found out there were guards around the perimeter. We were lucky we weren't seen... Yet.
