my wild mate

chapter 10

Joshs pov.

6 months later...

Me and carter have decided to get away from the pack house for a bit. We went to the pub for some food and drinks before getting some shopping done, both need our hair cut and need some new trainers. We love this little pub, it's an old pub and has so much character. We find a table and scan the menu, a curvy brown hair woman pushes past me and rubs carter's arm, he looks up at her before smiling

"Ahh hi Stacey how's it going?"

"I was wondering if you actually want to go out tonight, have dinner and some wine"

"Like a date?"

She bats her eyelashes at him "hmmm yeah"

He looks at me and I try to hide the laugh

"Hmm sorry Stacey I thought I said I don't date, just a casual thing here and there"

"So you used me"

"No, you consented to it, you knew the deal"

She slaps him hard across the face before storming off and I finally let go of the laughter  "what... was ... that!!!" I can barely breath from laughing so hard

"Shut up! Go order!"

20 minutes later we've finished our burgers and sipping on a cold beer "so why do the casual thing man? It obviously doesn't work out well?"

He just shrugs his shoulders at me "I want to get laid but also waiting for my mate so don't want anyone getting attached ya know?"

"How's that working out for ya" I'm laughing again and he leans over and punches me in the arm. "Ouch!" Now we're both laughing like idiots.

Carter pays for the bill and walk down the street back into town to find a barbers that have a walk in. Most of them are appointments only but then carter points across the road to a hair dressers "that's for women dumb ass"

"Yes but look at the sign!"

Thanks to our wolf we have better senses than humans and our vision is far better. I see the sign saying walk in appointments for men and women. We take a chance and walk over, carter suddenly stiffens and starts smelling the air. "What are you doing!!" I punch his arm "that isn't human like carter!!"

I look at him and see his blue eyes swirling with yellow. Fuck his wolf is pushing forward! Suddenly he let's out a growl "mate"

Okay, I think he said mate? As in his mate but I'm not sure..

"What!!! What do you mean mate!"

I follow to where he's looking and there's a beautiful woman around our age, slim build, long black hair pulled back and her blue eyes are looking at carter. She's stood behind a desk and it's like she doesn't move so she's either a human and absolutely scared shitless cos there's a massive beast of a man with strange eyes looking at her..... or she's a wolf and can sense it as well.

We both watch as she gets up from behind the desk, says something to another older woman and walks out the door straight to carter. She stands in front of him and holds out her hand "hi, I'm Emily and you are?"

Carter takes her hand in his "your mate" she laughs at his comment "I know that silly but I still need to know your name!"

Carter is frozen and just holding her hand. "Fuck sake. Trust him to fuck this up. This is carter and I'm josh"

She turns to me and smiles "Hi josh, nice to meet you"

Carter finally snaps out of his trance and smiles at me "I've found her man, my goddess you're beautiful!!"
