The Human Mate

Chapter 6

LOGAN

Our first date went perfectly, which ended with me kissing her.

I had trouble holding Max, my wolf, back. I had to control him. He wanted nothing more than to devour her against that door and take her right there and then to mark and mate with her. It took everything in me to keep him at bay.

But that was our first kiss, and oh my goddess, it was amazing.

Max and I had to break away; her arousal was intense. It was affecting us in every way, including my cock.

Leaving her there and without looking back was the only way I could control Max. If I looked back, everyone would hear her being pinned against that door.

After I left, I started planning our second date by arranging a picnic for us in the forest, and then we could wander around the lake. I was aiming to get to know her more. I had to ask for help, and who better than my grandmother? I remember telling my grandmother about taking Riley on a second the next day. She was excited and even eager to know what had happened the night before on our first date. She helped by making the food and even came to the pack house to make it since she didn't want Riley to get wind of what was happening.

Once I informed my grandmother about the situation, I had to plan accordingly because I had some paperwork to complete. I juggled things around and split my day so I could see Riley.

The last thing on the agenda was to inform the pack members about what was happening. Before my date, I mind-linked the entire pack so that no one was to shift into wolf form since I didn't want to scare Riley. I even explained who she was to me, which resulted in congratulations being chanted through the mind link.

That night, I was on a high and even had trouble sleeping, which led to a late-night run for Max. It was the only thing I could think of to calm us down, and it worked. When we got back, we were ready for bed.

The next day went according to plan. I delegated some work out when it came close to leaving for my date with Riley.

When the date arrived and all the work I had to do was done, I went to get Riley. I picked her up from the bookstore. She looked stunning again, wearing a blue dress.

We left and walked through the forest to the place I chose for us to have our picnic. I had someone set it up while I was doing my alpha duties.

We ate and spoke a little. I watched Riley take in all the scenery. She was stunning. After our picnic, we packed everything and walked around the lake, which wasn't too far from where we ate. Our walk around the lake ended up moving toward the town.

I glanced around and spotted pack members staring at us, some nodding and even smiling.

While walking around, we got to know each other more. I told her things about me, things that only Mark, my Beta, and my grandmother knew. I brought up about my parents and what happened to them. I left out being killed by rogues since she wouldn't know what I was on about. But I told her they were killed by animals when they were camping in the forest.

My parents passed away when I was seventeen. I was heartbroken, but I knew I had to take over the pack with the help of my grandmother. I lost both parents in one night, while she lost her only son. We both helped each other through the grief and took steps to make our pack safe again.

We held meetings as a pack about what we wanted to do, and we all agreed that we should move from where we were living and find a new territory to live in. Finding this place we now call home didn't take too long. We love it here, even though we often miss the other place. We know we did the right thing when leaving. It was too painful for most people to be back there.
