Black Lightning. Loyalty.

Chapter 2: His and Hers

Lily's P.O.V.

"Cecil said He'd deal with the Tony thing. So since that's over and done with and you guys insist on me minglin' with the pack. Let's get out there." I say, opening the door. The four men in the room nod, before exiting.

I stand above the main floor, looking out over the packed bar. No girls! Thank God.

I descend the stairs to be greeted by many pack members.

"Wanna drink?" Clay asks, handing me an unopened beer can.

"Thanks. Hey, Imma go outside for a sec. Be right back." I take the can, popping it open and chugging it greedily.

"Alright doll, but don't be too long."

I nod and make my way through the crowd. When I open the front doors, that scent hits me like a ton of bricks. I can't help but smile. This scent is so magical. So mesmerizing.

"Yes, Paw I know. Okay, I promise. I'll be home later."

I turn my head at that enchanting voice. Deep baritone, thick southern drawl.

'I bet he's hot.' My wolf purrs.

'Since when do you find any one attractive?'

Out of the corner of my eye I catch a flash of movement. I turn to find a tall, hefty, but heavily built man standing behind a gorgeous late '70s model blue two door ram on a lift kit with 24 inch mud digger tires.

I think I'm in love. The truck mainly, but the guy's pretty hot from behind, he has a real nice ass.

Wait, what the hell am I sayin'?

I shake my head, walking over to him.

He turns around and when his eyes catch me he smiles, his smile widens when he realizes I'm staring right back.

He openly checks me out, causing me to blush, and turn my face away.

"Like what you see?" He asks, leaning back against the truck.

Cocky Bastard.

Though he's hot from the front, too. Bright blue eyes, thick plump lips, straight nose, dimples, heavy set features, adorable stuble, thick eye lashes. Large hands, bulging muscles. He's chubby, but looks delicious with his heavily built body.

I finally force my self to look up into his eyes, and something in them has me completely captivated.

'Mate.' My wolf purrs, eyeing him hungrily.

I shake my head, jubbling my thoughts. Then chuckle, "Don't flatter yourself cowboy. I's checkin' out the truck." I try to play it off. Maybe if I deny it, it'll hurt less... If I push him away now, he can find someone better.

'No. Lily he'll want us. I can feel it.'

'He won't want us after he finds out our secret... If he is our mate...'

'He'll want us. And I know he's our mate.'

'You can't tell that for sure before our birthday.'

"I know... But it doesn't hurt for us to check out each other either. Alpha Tony by the way." He stands straighter and holds his hand out towards me.

I take it, sparks spasming up my arm, but I try to ignore them. "Alpha Lillian. Folks round 'er call me Lily."

"Alright Lily. Well you mind takin' a ride with me?" He asks, looking hopeful.

I nod slowly, biting my lip nervously.

What the hell is wrong with me?! I just met the guy and I'm already falling in love... How am I gonna be able to leave him if I can't even say no now?
