My Cheating Mate (The Silver Line Wolf Book 1)

what a way to make a move

In the morning when I woke up I was feeling a bit odd but that was not if I had placed last night my red shirt on the chair by the window and now it was gone.

"Mom, did you take my red shirt that was by the window?" I yelled.

"No honey." She answered.

I decided to put on some black jeans and a pink hodiee with my black converse like always; after I was ready I went downstairs and waited for Taylor to get down. When he got there it looked like he smelled something weird, he got near me and took a small whiff on me, yeah he did that as odd as it sounds.

"Do I smell bad?" I asked him confused.

"You are staring to give off your scent." Taylor said as he frowned.

"What?" I asked confused.

"In a week from now you're going to be in heat; I'm starting to smell it on you." Taylor said.

"Great as if I didn't have any more things in my plate, with all of this going on I'll go insane." I said as I placed on my hodiee and walked to my brother's car.

When we got to school I tried to get off the car to look for Nick but Taylor stopped me.

"What?" I asked him when I saw that he was holding my sleeve.

"Try to avoid male wolf because with you smelling like that things could get ugly right away." Taylor said as he met my gaze.

"But Nick is not going to do anything to me, he is gay remember? Or at least that is the way he comes off." I reminded him.

"Yes, but I'm talking about other male wolves for example Max and Zac." Taylor said.

I looked at him shocked, how did he know?

"They told me about yesterday, you know there are some wolves of the pack in the school with you." My brother said.

I nodded before I headed to the school; I went to my locker and found Nick there.

"Hey Nicky, I was looking for you." I said and hugged him.

When I pulled back Nick had the same facial expression as Taylor in the morning.

"You smell weird." He said.

"Yeah, I'm going to enter heat in a week but don't worry." I said as I gave him a small wink.

Nick was telling me about this guy that was currently hitting on him meanwhile I opened my locker and found white roses inside.

"Wow." I said suddenly overwhelmed by the beauty of it.

"You know what they say about white roses." Nick said.

"What?" I asked.

"They mean true love." Nick said with a small smirk.

I blushed and saw the roses.

"They are only eleven, aren't they suppose to be twelve?" I asked Nick.

"Yes, does it say who sent them?" Nick asked me.

"No, the card has just my name." I told him.

"That's odd. Who do you think sent them Max or Zac?" Nick said.

"What are you talking about?" I said.

"Liz, don't play stupid I know that both of them have the hots for you lucky bitch." Nick said and kissed my cheek before leaving.

School was normal as normal it was at this point since I was avoiding Max and Zac, I just wanted to stay out of wolf drama for a while. After school I went to the bleachers that were by the football field, I had the white roses besides me and I was writing my Oral Communication essay. I was halfway there when I felt a hand slip around my waist. As a common reaction I screamed before I stood you and turned around throwing the person that had grabbed me down to the bleachers.

And in this case it was Max, he rolled down three bleachers and landed on his back, he had a white rose in his hand.

"I am so sorry." I said as I raced down the bleachers and kneeled down next to Max.

"I came here to give you the last rose Lizzy." Max said as he extended his hand and gave it to me.

I covered my face with my hands in embarrassment.

"Thank you and I am so sorry for knocking you over." I said so embarrassed that I was blushing so bad.

Max got up with me and grabbed my chin making me look into his blue eyes.

"You look pretty when you blush." Max said.

That comment had me blushing like mad.

"Don't you ever do that to me again, okay?" I said and hit him in the head.

"What?" Max aid confused.

"Don't you ever sneak up on me like that you could've killed me from a heart attack, do you get that?" I told him.

"Sorry, I just couldn't avoid doing that; you're so pretty that I had to touch you to see if you were real or an angel from my imagination." Max said.

I looked at the rose and then up at him.

"Why are you doing this?" I asked him in a soft voice.

"Lizzy, I wasn't joking when I said that I really wanted to you as my mate." Max said as he met my gaze.

"And that was your move, scaring me almost to death?" I asked him.

"Yes." Max said sheepishly.

"What a way to make a move." I said with a smile.

"Sorry." Max said looking down ashamed of him, I hated to admit it but it was kind of cute.

I laughed.

"I just didn't know what you liked." Max added.

"You could've asked." I told him.

"Would you have told me if I asked?" Max asked me.

"No." I said with a small smile.

"Do you want to go for some ice cream?" Max asked out of nowhere.

I looked at him for a second.

"Sure." I said and went for my bag and my roses, when I got next to Max he hold my hand.

I couldn't ignore how it felt, it seemed like my hand was made to fit in his.

Later on we were on his car eating the ice cream he had bought me, he had bought, he had guessed my flavor and he chose 'Bite of an Angel' that was my favorite one it was vanilla with a hint of blue berry.

"Can I try yours?" Max asked as he got near me.

"No, get your own." I said as I took a spoonful of my ice cream.

Part of my ice cream stayed on the corner of my lip I was about to clean it with my hand when Max stopped me. He leaned down and sucked my lip taking away the ice cream.

"I think I just found my favorite ice cream flavor." Max said earning a smile from me.
