Colby Brock is my what?

Someday

Colby's POV

Fuck!

This gorgeous woman, who is my other half, is just in her underwear right in front of me. This smells of trouble.

If mate tells you to come, you come. Now go!  Peter states.

He's been getting restless. We know we have to wait until she's 18 to finish our mate bond, but he can literally feel her wolf begging for him and it's been driving us both crazy.

I chuckled at him and watched as April got in the pool, submerging completely underwater and disappearing from sight for a moment. As she resurfaced, she turned to look at me.

"So? Are you coming in or are you going to leave all by myself in this huge pool?" I smiled and slowly stood up to start undressing. I stopped at my boxers and walked towards the pool.

As I got in, she swam in my direction and wrapped her arms around my neck.

"I've been meaning to ask you something." I said after a few minutes.
"Ask ahead." She smiled.
"I remember you said you wanted to be a singer, so I was thinking that maybe I messed up your plans of going to UCLA by bringing you here."
"Oh Colby, no! Not at all! I already had all the grades and extra credit I needed by the end of last semester. All I need to do is apply to UCLA next month." I felt a wave of relief hit me.
"Good because, you know, I love you and I don't want you to wake up a few years from now and resent me for holding you back and not letting you reach your full happiness and potential."
"You don't ever have to worry about that." She slipped her hands bringing each one to both sides of my face and I lifted mine to hold her by her thighs that were in each side of me "I love you, so it doesn't matter what happens in my life. I'll always be the happiest I can, as long as we're together." She kissed me.

With her hands on my hair and mine around her, holding her close, I could say with confidence. Before I met her, I had only ever felt content. But now, I'm euphoric.

The rest of the afternoon was spent swimming, going down the slide, and lots of kissing. We decided to head back after a while.

When we were already in the pack grounds, on our way home, we decided to stop by the packhouse to see if Sam and Kat were still there.

"Oh wow, look at what the cat dragged in!" Standing there, talking to Kevin was Mike. "How are you doing man? Haven't seen you in a while." He turned around and we greeted each other and I greeted Kev as well.
"Sorry man, I've been crazy busy with my music. This must be your mate." He said turning to April. "Hello luna, I'm Mike." He bowed a little then extended his hand.
"Hi, yes I know you, I love your music. I'm April." She smiled and took his hand. She tensed up when their hands touched and I could feel through the bond waves of different emotions going through her. Confusion, anxiety, fear, and weirdly, familiarity. They let go of each other's hands and she leaned into me.

-What is it, baby? What's wrong?-
-I'm not sure, something just felt wrong when I touched him.-

"Mike, man, it was great seeing you but we're gonna get going. We had a long day and the Mrs is tired. But don't disappear like that again, alright? We have to catch up sometime."
"For sure man. Go ahead, we'll catch up later. I promise I'm not going anywhere." We fist-bumped. "Goodbye luna. it was a pleasure to meet you."
"You too Mike. Maybe some other time we can all get together and get to know each other." She had a kind smile on her face, that creepily reminded me of my mother when she was a luna, but I could still feel a wave of anxiety coming from her.

We said goodbye to Kevin and walked out of the packhouse and went home. As soon as the door closed behind us, I turned to her.

"What was that about? Are you okay?" I asked worriedly.
"I'm fine, I promise. It just felt weird. Like I've met him before and we didn't get along, but I've only ever seen Mike now and on the internet." I could feel her confusion.
"Well, you don't have to worry, Mike's a good guy. And even if he wasn't, I would never let anything hurt you."
"I know." She smiled and hugged my waist. Her confusion slipped away as she calmed down in my arms.

I led her to the living room and we sat in front of the fire. She let go of me and sat up with her back resting against the center table, she then beckoned me to lay in between her legs and she started playing with my hair. We stayed there in silence for a few minutes before I broke it.

"What are you thinking about?" She sighed.
"Luke."
"What about him?"
"He's such a cute kid, seems so innocent, I can't think of a reason why someone would leave him in a state like that. He looked so broken, inside and out."
"Peter and I actually think he was abused by his own alpha. That would explain why he was so terrified of me."
"Poor kid." She said sadly
"You got really attached to him, didn't you?"
"You remember back at the hospital on the day we found him, how I said I felt some sort of connection to him?" I nodded "It feels a lot stronger now that we talked to him. Almost like an instinct to take care of him." I smiled.

"You know, it is a really common thing for lunas to feel almost a motherly instinct towards all the pups and recently shifted wolves from their pack." She chuckled. "I think, someday, you'll make a great mother. If that's what you want, of course." I added.
"Someday, I think you will be an amazing father." We smiled at each other and leaned in for a kiss.

A perfect kiss, as it always is.

"Don't get mad at us for this" I started after a while " but Peter and I believe that Luke is lying about not remembering where he came from." She sighed.
"I'm not mad. Athena and I were also suspicious. I think we just have to give him time, let him trust us, and then hopefully he'll open up." I nodded.

"Nádia is being kicked out tomorrow."
"Looks like you'll have a busy day ahead of you, better go to sleep." I agreed and we headed upstairs.

Soon after we got ready and in bed, April fell asleep in my arms.

-Sam- I called through mind-link.
-Yeah man, what's up?-
'I'm gonna need you to take over at the packhouse office tomorrow after Nádia is gone. And if you can suggest to Kat to take April out to do something for the afternoon, it'd be great.-
-Sure thing, but why?-

-Tomorrow I'm going to go talk to the elder.-
