Trickster Wolf

Chapter Twenty-three

Laying on the floor my chest heaving after running sweat gleaming on my skin as I look out, I see the first orange light bleeds into the sky awakening all the animals. Getting up I pick up my clothes that I was wearing over the top of my sports stuff I leave the building back to Darius's place. I quietly open and close the door silently going up the stairs into Darius's room I quickly get a change of clothes without waking him I move back down the stairs to the second bathroom locking the door. Dumping my clothes on the floor I find a clean towel in a cupboard I put it on the counter next to the sink. I open the glass door turning on the water waiting for it to heat up I strip down not caring where I chuck my clothes. Getting in I sigh as the warm water hits my body instantly getting rid of tension. I don't know how long I have been in here but one of the boys started knocking on the door I know that it wouldn't be Darius as he has his own bathroom.

"Hey um how much longer are you going to be" Greyson awkwardly asks through the door. I turn off the water stepping out on the bathmat I quickly dry off putting on black denim shorts and light blue grey V-neck shirt. Picking up my clothes I put the towel on a drying rack turning to the door I feel the cold tile as I step closer opening the door, I look at Greyson as he leans against the door frame looking ashamedly down at the ground. I move out of the way watching as he rushes into the room, I smirk knowing that it was most likely either Decker or Emmet that didn't let him in the other bathroom upstairs that's for the guests bedrooms.

Moving through the kitchen to the loungeroom I walk up the stairs into Darius's bedroom I'm confused as to why he is pacing messing up his hair. I enter slowly going to my bag putting my dirty clothes into a separate bag with other dirty clothes. The zip betrays me as it loudly zips closed Darius quickly turns around instantly looking less frazzled looking down to me his expression softens. Standing up I look at him confused still as to why he looks so flustered with something that happened while I was in the shower.

"So, I know you don't want anything to do with my pack which means my family as well, but my mum really wants to meet you, mostly because she wants to see who my mate is," He rambles on about his mum and how I don't want to be involved but am still his mate.

"I'll go," I cut him off he looks surprised at me blinking for a few seconds before responding.

"Wait what,"

"I will meet your parents," I reassure him going up to him putting a hand on his arm.

"Are you sure it won't just be my parents it'll also be my siblings," He looks at me worried that I will change my mind, but I am not going to the least I can do for him is see his family because family if the most important thing.

"Yes, I am sure." Looking up at him I give him a small smile, he nods taking my hand leading me down the stairs. Without bumping into the other three boys, we leave the house going to his garage he opens the door letting go of my hand as he fishes out keys for one of the cars. I make my way to the passenger side getting in when I hear the click of it unlocking. He starts the car reversing out I watch as he drives on a dirt road near the outside of the pack occasionally another car would drive pass us. The trees start to get thinner and stopping until we drive into a huge clearing where small houses are built a lot more family's walking the dirt paths. He drives down a specific road showing he has driven it multiple times, pulling up in a driveway where the front has a large garden full of colourful flowers and other plants that provide a sort of fence for the grassy front yard. We get out of the car where he leads me to the front door knocking softly causing a ruckus to ensue throughout the house. The door quickly opens showing a middle-aged women with bright golden-brown eyes, brown dark short hair.

"You don't have to knock, come in come in, don't mind the mess," She ushers us into the dining room where a large wooden table holds enough chairs for eight. Darius sits down giving me the seat at the end probably, so I don't have to sit next to his siblings.
