Maybe This Will Not Last

Chapter 21

Jason's POV

We were running for about an hour now, but I can see that my mate is exhausted, so I guess that we will have to stop for a while.

"Wait on me here, I will be back in less than two minutes." I tell him, and he looks at me reluctantly, but he nods slightly anyway, before he sits on the grass under one of the trees.

I quickly run in the direction of the deer that I smelled a few minutes ago, and I kill it as quickly as I can, before I go back towards my mate.

I wanted to show him how to hunt, but he's too tired now, so I decided that it will have to wait for another time.

Luca's eyes widen when he sees that I got him a gift, and he looks like he doesn't know if he should be happy about it or not.

I take a bite of the deer, and then I gesture for him to do the same.

He reluctantly starts to eat it, and I smile when I see that he decided that he likes it.

To be honest, all of the werewolves should eat things like this once in a while, because it helps to keep our wolves healthy.

But a lot of them say that they wouldn't be able to even bite the deer without throwing up.

When we finish eating, we move a bit to lay on the clean grass, and we decide to cuddle together.

But not much later, I can see that the scent of the blood is making Luca go crazy, so I stand up, and I lead him towards the lake that isn't far from us.

"Where are we going?" Luca asks, still sounding tired.

"We have to use the lake to get the blood off of us before it will dry, then it will be a lot harder." I tell him, and he nods slightly.

When we reach the lake, I quickly jump inside while Luca stands at the edge, and he looks reluctant to even touch the water.

"Come on." I say, and he rolls his eyes, before he comes towards me.

"It's cold." He tells me.

"It will be warmer soon." I say, and he looks like he doesn't believe me, but he keeps going anyway.

"We should go back." I say, after a while of standing in the water.

Luca nods, and he seems to want to get out of here as quickly as possible which actually slows him down, and it makes me laugh.

We get out of the water, and I lead him back towards the pack lands, but before we can reach it, I stand on something sharp, and when I look at my paw, I can see that it's covered by blood.

"Are you alright?" Luca asked me, and he tries to lick my wound, but I quickly stop him.

"I think so." I tell him.

I try to stand up, and I'm thankfully that my paw doesn't hurt that much.

I shift back to my human form, and I try to see through the blood to see what happened to my palm, but I quickly realise that I won't be able to do it without some water.

"The pack lands aren't far from here, so I guess that I can walk like this for the rest of the way." I say, and I gesture for him to walk with me towards the pack house.
