Victoria's POV
"Any idea what you might want to watch?" Jane asks. "Helllloooo? Anyone home?"
"Oh what? I'm sorry, I was zoned out, what did you ask me?" I twist myself on the couch to face Jane, "Were you asking about a movie?"
Jane looks at me with a hint of a playful smirk, "I was asking what you would want to watch but Victoria, were you trying to see if you could hear the guys coming? Were you trying to eavesdrop?"
I widen my eyes, crap! Feign innocence! "Me? Eavesdropping? No! Why would you think that?" I ask with my best Bambi expression. Although, with Bambi being a deer and all, maybe it wasn't the best route to go around a bunch of wolves.
Jane let out a light and cheerful laugh, "You were! I'm not falling for the cute and clueless act. So, what were you hoping to overhear? We can even play the hypothetical card if you want."
I can feel my cheeks heating up, rats, she caught me. "I wasn't trying to be nosy or anything...I was just trying to figure out why Blake was acting odd all of a sudden."
I could visibly see Jane stiffen as she quickly turned her back to me and started digging through the DVD's in the drawer. "Do you know why he might be acting oddly towards me?" I asked.
She stopped what she was doing and sat still for a few seconds. I was beginning to regret asking my what I thought was a simple question when she turned to face me.
"I wouldn't worry about it." She said with a small smile, "I'm sure it's nothing. You know, I bet it's as simple as he's just worried about how you're taking things."
I felt some relief, I guess I could see that. I mean, he had just told me some pretty big things only a few hours before. Suddenly, I had to urge to ask Jane something.
"Do you think I'm weird? I mean, only a couple hours ago I was told I was the mate of an Alpha werewolf and here I am picking out a movie. Is this a normal reaction? Shouldn't I be freaking out about it or something?"
Jane laughed and moved to the sofa to sit next to me, "I'll be honest with you, I've only met one other human who had a werewolf mate in our pack, and that's Helen. Although from what she's told us, it seemed like she was pretty chill about the whole thing. You know, she's really open and easy to talk to, I'm sure she would love to talk to you about all of this."
"You think so? I just...I don't really know her that well, I mean heck, we just met today."
"Trust me, talk to her for an hour and it'll feel like you've known her your whole life."
"Well, thank you, I think I will try to talk to her."
"Good. Oh, and for the record, I wish everyone would take the werewolf news as well as you did, it would be awesome not having to keep it a secret."
"I'm sorry...I'm not sure I can even pretend to understand how hard that must be for all of you." I meant it.
"I'm sure soon you'll begin to understand, sorry but it's kinda what happens when you join the pack! Haha."
"Wait, join the pack? Will I be able to do that?" Just the thought of staying with these amazing people and with Blake makes me excited and joyful.
Jane looks me in the eye, "Of course. I mean, that's if you choose to stay with us."
I had a feeling she wanted to tell me more but at that moment we both heard footsteps coming down the hall.
"Okay pizza is in the oven and what type of hellish torture have you girls come up with?" Jake asked as he plopped himself onto the sofa next to his mate.
