His Beta and His Mate

I Notice Differences

After the little fight in the backyard, my dad figured training on Nathan's land was a bad idea. And since I had decided that Cody should help me make this transition, my dad suggested I go train with his pack. Which meant meeting his parents... that was sure to be awkward. But I was ready for it.

I had so many mixed emotions I thought my head was going to explode.

I wanted Cody around, but I also didn't want to see him. It was hard to adjust to being a werewolf right now.

Do werewolves normally feel this many emotions at once? Is this normal?

On the day we set out I couldn't figure out what to pack and Cody tried to help, he really did, but his presence was distracting and I couldn't deal with him being in the same room as me for too long. He would just look at me the right way and the butterflies started and then I was with him and not packing my bag like I was supposed to.

I had to make him leave after the third time he distracted me. But then I was just very sad..

It kind of helped a bit because then I threw everything into my bag to just get it over and done with so I could be stuck in a car with Cody for a couple of hours.

It was more intense wanting, no needing to be with him. I wasn't sure if I liked it yet. I mean, I really liked being around him. I really, really liked him. But I had to think about other things too. Like the fact that now I can turn into a wolf. That's a huge difference.

Life changing huge.

I wasn't even sure if I got everything that I wanted packed up, but I was ready to leave. Ready to get away from Nathan and Serria, and ready to learn anything and everything I can about this new life of mine. A new life that is most definitely involving Cody in it.

The house was really quiet when I finally left my room to look for Cody. Too quiet actually. Now that I could hear literally everything and anything. I could hear that everyone was in the front room downstairs, but no one was talking.

I rushed down there, far faster than I would have liked, and smiled at the small group of people who are closest to me. "You all are too quiet."

My mom seemed startled to see me, but my dad and Cody seemed to have expected it. "Wow, you're faster and quieter the usual," my mom said breathlessly. She took two steps closer to me then pulled me on for a hug. "I'm going to miss you."

I rolled my eyes but hugged her back, "it's only for the summer. I'll be back before school starts."

"I know!" She hugged me tighter for a second. Then let go, "I'm just going to really miss you. Like a lot."

Dad chuckled, "It'll prepare you for when she goes to college next year."

She smacked him on the chest and laughed sadly. "I know but she's growing up too fast for her own good."

Dad and I laughed lightly. "I'll be fine, I've got Cody to look after me."

Mom raised her eyebrow at me, "that's why I'm so worried."

I looked at Cody who was smiling at my mom. He wasn't all bad. As long as he would stop distracting me at every chance he gets. I knew he could feel me looking at him, and it made him turn his head to look at me. His smile got brighter and I could feel myself being pulled unconsciously towards him. I kept my feet cemented and smiled back at him.

I wanted him to cave and walk towards me, rather than the other way around like it has been since I met him.

"Well you best be off if you want to get there while it's still light out." My dad chose the right time to break up whatever was happening between Cody and I in that moment. I smiled and hugged my dad. Then Cody grabbed my bag, after I protested many times, and carried it out to his car.

"Goodbye my lovely car!" I yelled dramatically as I followed Cody down the drive way a little bit.

"You can drive my car," he chuckled and glanced back at me.

I shrugged, "nah I'd rather just drive my own."

"Too bad you won't be able to take it with you."

I stopped a few feet away from his car and sighed. He put my bag in his trunk and looked back at me as he closed it. "Are you sure I can't drive my own car?"

He smirked, "I can drive you any place you want to go." He then took a few steps towards me, "it will just mean I get to spend more time stuck in a small space with you."

I watched him for a few more seconds as he looked at me. I was not going to give in. I will not give in. Not today at least.

I walked past him and into his car. I glanced up at him as I slid into the passengers seat. He looked a little lost. A lot lost actually. Like he wasn't sure what was happening. Good.

This was very good.

I closed the car door had started to put on my seatbelt. As Cody had a slight moment of frustration by himself outside the car. I could hear him even though he was trying to be quiet about it.

I really enjoyed it. Having the upper hand felt fantastic.

When Cody finally get into the car and started it, he put his right hand on my leg and started to drive away. He squealed it a little after I didn't say anything for five minutes.

"Are you alright?" He asked finally when we were out of town and heading down the highway.

I smiled, "I feel fantastic, how are you?"

I could hear his breathing hitch and his heart beat increase. It made me laugh a little and he slowed the car a little so he could look at me for a moment.

"What are you laughing at?"

I smiled to myself for a moment then turned to smile at him, "I seriously can hear everything."

He laughed, "I can hear everything too!"

I rolled my eyes, he may have had this super hearing his whole life, but I didn't. I was going to enjoy it until the novelty wears off.

Hello everyone! Long time no see! Hope you enjoy this chapter! My laptop is totally done for so I have to save up to purchase a new one. In the meantime I'll be trying* (key word) to write on my iPad. Which is small because it's a mini. So it's not all that fun. Wish me luck! Haha
