Loving A Wolf

A Real Date

Winona entered the Wells house, greeting the two adults in the kitchen as she did so. "Good morning, Winona." Missy Wells smiled to the teenager. "Hey, did you know that most werewolves are actually vegetarians, and don't eat meat?" she asked as she made herself breakfast.

"Really? I thought they preferred meat, since they're...you know...wolves." Dale answered. "Yeah, that's what most people think. Willa and Winter has helped me a lot with werewolf history the past few months." she smiled, sitting down with them.

"I saved the Sudoku for you." Dale smiled, laying today's paper in front of her. Winona smiled happily and thanked him, before she waited for her friend, finishing the challenge in the meantime.

"Good morning. Good morning Winona." Addison smiled as she came down the stairs from her room. "Good morning, Addie." Winona smiled to her friend. "So, what's the plan for today?" Mrs. Wells asked her daughter as she walked past her to grab breakfast.

"Well, Wyatt's made plans for me and him after school, but he doesn't wanna tell me what they are." she answered. "I have another cheer practice tonight." Addison smiled, before taking a bite from her breakfast.

"How long have you and Wyatt been together now?" Missy asked the werewolf. "Well, if today's the 24th..." she said, reading the date on the paper. "...we've been together for about three months now." she smiled.

"Already? Time's gone really fast." Addison pointed out. The two girls quickly ate up the last of their breakfast, before they hurried out of the house and towards their high school, where their friends were waiting.

"Where are you taking us?" Winona asked the male werewolf as they made their way towards the forest. "For the last time, Nona, it's a surprise." he smiled, guiding her through as she was blindfolded.

"I swear on the moon, Wyatt Lykensen, if you're kidnapping me and murdering me, I'll haunt you for ever." she threatened. Wyatt let out a chuckle. "I'm not kidnapping you. Relax." he smiled. "Well, at least make sure I don't trip. My legs can't take that." she mumbled the last part.

Wyatt shrugged it off since he didn't understand what she meant, and continued to guide her through. "Willa and Wynter has been really great with teaching me werewolf history. Like the true story of the first settlers and such. It's really interesting to learn." she said.

"Our history is interesting. Especially when you learn the truth." he said. "I've been trying to find anything on my real parents, but my mom only have their first names and no pictures of them, since their friendship had to be kept a secret." she said.

"What are their first names?" he asked. "Well, my dad's name was Warren, and my mom's name was Wendy, apparently. I've already asked Willa, but she didn't seem to know anything." she sighed.

"Since they probably died right after you were left on the doorstep, they left before Willa took over as Alpha. I could try and talk to my dad, if you want." he suggested. "You'd actually do that?" she asked. "Of course. I'd do anything for you." he smiled.

Winona felt her cheeks heat up at his comment, before they stopped. "Are we there?" she asked. "Yes we are." he smiled, before removing her blindfold. Winona opened her eyes, but was only met by Wyatt's chest, as he stood in front of her.

She looked up at him, before he moved to stand next to her. Winona gasped at the sight. He had brought her up to a hill in the forest, overlooking the ocean and the beautiful sunset. He had set up a small picknick blanket and food for them.

"Wow, Wyatt. This is beautiful." she smiled, walking towards the blanket. "It's not too basic? I outdid the other dates you've been on?" he asked nervously. Winona looked at him. "Of course you out did them. There was nothing to out do. I've never been on a date before." she explained.

He stared at her, before smiling. "Great. Then I'm not the only 'date-virgin' here." he joked, using bunny ears as he spoke. Winona giggled, causing a thousand butterflies to appear in his stomach, before she sat down.

Wyatt went into the basket, before taking out a few different snacks. Half of them were her favourites, the other half was his. "So, I talked to Addison and brought a few of your favourite snacks, and a few of mine." he told.

Winona looked at him as she smiled. "I also brought your favourite drink." he pulled out a soda bottle. "You really thought of everything." she smiled. "Well, except for telling me to bring a jacket." she mumbled as a cold breeze brushed against her.

"Well.." Wyatt smiled, before pulling out a dark purple hoodie and handing it over to her. Blushing, she gladly accepted it and put it on, discreetly smelling the collar, instantly recognizing his smell.

"Thank you for doing this, Wy. It really means a lot to me." she smiled. "You don't need to thank me, Nona. This is just the bare minimum." he smiled. She smiled at him. He really was the only one calling her by that nickname. The only one she allowed to call her that.

"Can I ask you something? It's totally fine if you don't want to answer the question." he said. "Ask away." she smiled. "Why do you always seem sad when I call you that?" he asked. Winona looked down at the ground, before smiling again, this time, it was more sad than happy.

"My brother used to call me that. I've never let anyone else use it, until you started doing it." she said. "Do you mind telling me more about him and what happened?" he moved closer to her and placed his hand on hers.

"Well, the story can be spared for another time, but, his name was Jeymie and he was two years older than me. He was my parents' biological child." she told. "I'll be here when you want to talk about it." he smiled.

The two of them sat there for a while, laughing and tasting each others' favourite snacks and Wyatt watched his girlfriends lovingly as she told him stories about her and Addison from her childhood, until the moon had taken place on the sky, telling them it was time to go to sleep.

"Thank you, Wy. This was great." she smiled as he stood with her outside her door. "I'm already planning the next." he smiled, before grabbing her waist and placing a kiss on her cheek. Winona heard someone open a door, and grabbed both hers and Wyatt's necklaces and pulled them off, her heart pounding out of fear.

She calmed herself down once she realized it was a neighbour and not her dad, before giving the necklace back to Wyatt. "I'm sorry." she let out a breath of laughter. "Nona-" he started, but she knew where he was going. "No. You promised me." she said.

Fighting himself, Wyatt sighed before kissing her lips one more time. "See you tomorrow?" he asked. "Of course." she smiled, before they bid goodbye and she hurried up to her room. Wyatt looked at the moonstone necklace in his hand, before sighing and walking back to the den.
