"Are you going to the game tonight?" My new friend Brayden asks "of course" I smile just thinking about Gray. "You wanna get food beforehand and we can go together?" "I already have plans with Gabby, but we can meet at the game" I suggest "great, let me see your phone" Brayden asks I hand it over unsure of what he's doing "now you have my number" he smiles handing my phone back.

"Come on Lace" Gabby interrupts linking her arm with mine pulling me after her. I sheepishly wave bye to Brayden "that was rude" I tell Gabby as we walk. "Grayson's gonna flip his shit when he smells him on you" she tells me as we walk out the doors "you reek of him and his cologne" she adds wrinkling her nose in disgust.

"It's not a that bad" I defend "that's because you don't have werewolf senses" Gabby says pulling me through the yard "you need to go home and shower before Grayson" "before Grayson what?" Gray asks cutting his sister off. I don't answer to caught up in staring at Gray, god he looks so good. Black jeans that show off his strong legs and perfect butt a white t-shirt that clings to him perfectly showing off his toned stomach and muscled chest.

"You done checking me out?" Gray asks pulling me into him inhaling deeply but he freezes. "What the fuck is that?" He asks pulling away from me his nose wrinkled in disgust just like Gabby's. "What's what?" I ask panicked "that disgusting smell" he answers glaring. I take a deep breath relaxing realizing there's nothing wrong "why do you smell like someone else?" Gray asks in his dangerously calm voice.

"I don't know" I practically stutter "you don't know why you smell like another male" Gray seethes "no" I cower back. I don't know that I've ever seen Gray this mad, his eyes are black you can see every vein sticking out and his whole body is shaking. "Who the fuck is he?" Gray growls causing people to stare "pep..people are staring" I stammer just above a whisper "I don't give a flying fuck" he roars making me jump back as tears well up in my eyes "I'm gonna ask one more fucking time.. who the fuck is he?" Gray asks right in my face.

"You don't get to cry when you reek of another male" Gray growls in my face "I didn't do anything" I cry "Grayson" Gabby tries calming her brother "you stay the fuck out of this unless you know who he is!" Gray roars at Gabby making her bow her head. "I don't know his name" Gabby says not looking up "I just know he's in some of our classes and they were talking outside of class today" Gabby spill everything she saw. "Did he touch her?" Gray roars "not that I saw" Gabby answers trembling as she bows more.

"Did he fucking touch you?" Gray turns his anger to me "no" I mumble shaking my head heartbroken that Gabby would turn on me like that. "We're going home and you're gonna shower and burn those clothes" Gray orders grabbing my arm dragging me behind him.

"I wanna go to my room" I say lowly looking around Gray's big room "this is your room" he answers pulling me to the bathroom. "Strip" Gray orders turning on the shower. I freeze at his command, this is not the Gray I know "don't make me tell you again" he snaps but I can't move, he's no different than Danny. I let the tears fall as I sink to the floor wrapping my arms protectively around myself, they don't provide the same comfort that Gray's do.

"I'm not gonna hurt you" Gray soothes kneeling in front of me "I just can't stand the smell of another man on you, it drives me insane" he continues tilting my face up to his. "I didn't do anything" I sob "I know" he sighs closing his eyes "but" "I can't help it, my wolf doesn't like the thought of another man touching you, and the fact that you reek of someone else pisses him off" "but" "I know you didn't do anything" he cuts me off "can you please take a shower, I can't think straight when I can smell him all over you" Gray growls.

When I get out of the shower my clothes are gone and there's a pile of Gray's clothes sitting on the counter, shaking my head I put them on and slowly make my way into the bedroom. "Much better" Gray growls his approval instantly pulling me into his arms and burying his face in my neck licking me. "Grayson!" I warn shoving against his chest, but of course he keeps his arms locked around me holding me to his chest as he starts kissing and licking my neck.
