Snowridge's Secret (Book 1)

2 - The Annoying Human

Alexi - POV

"Goal." The referee calls as we head back down the field. I wipe the sweat off my brow as I follow the ball. Devon has it, and it's the last minute of the game. We are tied 2 to 2, and this is our last chance to score. I see an opening as I slip past my guard and head for their goalie.

I signal for Devon just as I feel a presence run up behind me. I growl angrily as Elijah guards me, blocking Devon's pass. We lock eyes for a moment as he smiles at me. "Didn't think I was going to let you have it that easy, did you?" He chuckles as I try to step around him, but again, he steps back and blocks me. But I just smile.

"Of course not," I yell as I suddenly run up to him almost in his face. I watch as he looks shocked. "What..." He tries, but I don't let him speak, as I spin around his side and scream, "Devon!"

And before Elijah can react, the ball slams into my foot, and I kick it to their goal. "Fuck.... Danny!" Elijah screams at his goalie as he reaches me.

We all watch as the ball reaches the net, and my breath catches. The goalies hand touches the ball, but not enough to stop it, and it hits the inside of the net.

"Goal!" The ref calls.

"Yes! Yes!.... Ahhhhh!" I raise my hands and scream. Just then, I'm lifted into the air as my team joined me. This is what I live for. The smell of the grass, the cool air, the feel of victory. As I open my eyes, I catch Elijah's, and he smiles at me. I don't know why, but I grin at him. I laugh as he mouths, "fuck you." And I return the favor mouthing, "asshole." Back to him. He flips me off as he heads back to his team. We may hate each other, but there are moments I can tolerate him.

Maybe.

My smile doesn't leave as we head to the locker room. I'm sweaty, covered in dirt, and I doubt I smell good. I congratulate everyone as we all strip down to shower. As I pull off my underwear I get slapped on my ass causing me to jump. I growl as a naked Devon hugs me from behind. My eyes widen as I can feel everything.

"Devon, if you want to keep your balls, you will move them off my ass right now." I grit out, and a few teammates laugh. I have no problem with nudity. Wolves spend a lot of time nude, and we fool around with those we are close to. But my annoying friend doesn't understand personal space.

"Sorry. I forget how innocent you are." He laughs as he finally pulls away. I sigh as I grab my towel and soap before walking into the shower. I make my way past my naked teammates, keeping my eyes forward as I reach an empty stall. Devons words echo in my mind.

I can admit I've thought of sex and even though I may be innocent, i have messed around a bit. I haven't done some of the things Devon and the other guys have. But that doesn't mean I haven't played around at parties or looked at girls and guys. I'm not blind.

I sighed as I finally turned on the hot water, washing away the sweat and dirt as I continued to think about his words. Does everyone think I'm that innocent? I get that with my size and hair. I may look that way, but I'm still a horny teen boy with needs. I frown as Xander stirs a bit. I try to focus on something else, but I can't really explain to my friends that even if I wanted to, I can't do more than I have. Xander has made it very clear to me that our mate is special and will be the only one for me. The few guys and girls I've messed around with were ok, but he stopped me when it would get too far. I just need to stop thinking about it. I'll get my mate in a few weeks. It will be fine.

+++++++++++++

After showering and changing, we head out. We met up with my family earlier, and they congratulated us before we said our goodbyes. We have a party at a teammates house each time we win, and as long as I have Devon or a family member with me, I'm allowed to go. It's annoying, but I just deal with it.
