Two Tails

Chapter Fifteen- "First Date"

I was back to worrying. Aatu's been gone for... about five days. Add that to the past three, that equals eight.

Eight days since I've last seen Aatu.

I frown as I pace outside the door to the pack house.

~Flashback~

I stood infront of the door to the pack house, smiling at Aatu. "I'm glad you've decited to warm up to me" Aatu says. I flixk his forehead, "As if." I chuckled. "So... what made you change your mind?"

I looked at him in confusion, "What do you mean?"

"You know. Actually calling me your mate instead of calling me wolfie." Aatu smirked. I chuckled, "You may be, but you're my wolfie." I chuckle. "Why did you call me that again?" Aatu asks. "Because you're a plain out werewolf." I say.

Aatu smiles, and brings me closer to him. "And what makes you any different?"

I shake my head "I'm a werecat." I say.

He rests his forehead on my forehead, "And you also have a wolf." He says.

"True... but... I've known my cat for much longer." I say. "Well. Tiger." I correct myself.

"Come Aatu! We need to go!" Cole, one of Aatu's packmates (I think he's the Third?), yelled. Aatu nods "I'll be right there!" He yells. He looks back at me.

"I have something for you when I get back. I'll deticate the whole day to you once I get back." He tells me. He gives me a quick peck on the lips before turning and running after Cole. I look after him with a frown.

~End of Flashback~

Now I have some idea what he meant by that, and I shudder.

Gross.

"When are you coming back Aatu?" I mutter to myself.

Someone's hands slip around my waist, I jump. "Eek!"

The person chuckles, "It's just me Petra." He says.

I quickly become calm. Aatu. "You shouldn't scare me like that." I say. Aatu shrugs, "I thought you liked surprises." He says.

"After the incident at my ceremony... no. I don't." I cross my arms and turn to look at him. Aatu smiles. "Well. I'm back now!" He says.

"Ready for the dedication?" He asks.

I huff, "Aatu... dont give me a dirty mind." I hiss, and walk past him to a chair and sit down. "Huh? You thought- actually, I wouldn't mind it. But-"

"Aatu Crescent Howl! Be quiet!" I hiss. Aatu chuckles, "Petra?" He asks and sits infront of me.

"Yeah?" I ask, and stare beyond him.

"I have something to ask of you." He says nervously.

I look down at him, "Yeah?" I ask.

"W-will you.... go on a... d-date with me?" He asks hopefully.

"No!" I say sarcastically. He must've not caught the sarcasm because he frowned and looked at the ground, hurt. "Yes! Gosh! Can you not get sarcasm?" I question. Aatu looks up at me with a smile. He lifts me up and twirls me around. "EeeEeeEEE! Aatu!" I laugh as Aatu sets me down. "I'm glad you're warming up to me." He smiles. I smiled and intwinded my hand with his. "Oh! I should get dressed!" I say and try to run off, but Aatu pulls me close to him. "You look beautiful already." He says. I smile.

"Plus it'll be no use. We're shifting anyways." He says. I look at him, "Which should I shift into?" I ask. "Hmm... try your tiger. The others dont know you're both.... well... other than Vesta, Kassana, and I." He says. I smile, "Okay!" I say.
