My Alpha is A Cowboy

Chapter 19

DANIELLE P.O.V

Ryder and I walked to Dr. Jones' office in silence, leaving me to my thoughts. What if I didn't have any blood in me? Would he reject me? What if I do have it? What if-

"Stop!" Ryder suddenly yelled, "I can smell how nervous you are and it's making me sick. I don't care if you don't have any werewolf blood in you. I'm never going to reject you. I would die before I thought about rejecting you."

I smiled at him, and linked my arm through his. I've never had someone that cared for me so much. Eventually we reached Dr. Jones' office  and she welcomed us inside with the most neutral face, heightening my nerves. Pulling a sheet of paper from her clipboard, she handed it to me. Ryder looked over my shoulder to see what the results were. I didn't know what I was looking for, so I handed the paper to Ryder. He held out a shaking hand and grasped the paper, giving me a nervous smile.

After several minutes of Ryder looking over the paper his eyes bulged out of their sockets.

"Ryder?! What is it?" I grabbed the paper scanning over it again but not understanding what any of the graphs meant.

He held a shaking finger to one of the graphs, "This green bar is human blood, the red bar is werewolf. You have seventy eight percent wolf."

"Does that mean that I will turn into a wolf?" I wasn't sure what I answer I wanted, but I knew I wanted an answer.

"I'm not sure. You might have to see something that will make your wolf come forward. Maybe a mate? But if it was the mate, wouldn't your wolf already have come forward? Could you have something cast over you to block you from your wolf?" Ryder and I started walking out a door. I shot a thankful smile back to the doctor and shut the door behind me while Ryder kept thinking out loud.

"Ryder, stop. We know that I have it in me, but we can figure something out later, ok baby?"

"You called me baby," he whispered, a smile covering his face. I'd never seen a more glorious sight. He was breathtaking. I felt myself blush and I looked away. How awkward.

"Danielle, how would you like to go on a date with me?" I smiled at him and nodded. A date with Ryder? That sounds really nice. He smiled back at me, "Good, wear something really nice. I can have my sister pick something out for you. You should be about the same size as her and she should have a dress for you."

"Hold up, cowboy. I don't do dresses unless I get to wear my boots or I just don't do dresses." His eyes darkened for a second and I backed away quickly, I knew that look. David's eyes would do that when he was getting ready to yell at me. His eyes went back to normal and he held a concerned look, "Actually yeah, whatever you want. Um, I'll be in your room, just send your sister in with a dress and heels, if that's what you want me to wear. I'll go get ready." Lowering my head and walking out of the way of his outstretched hand, I sped walked back to his house.

Once in his room I crawled under his blankets and pulled them up to my chin. He wouldn't act like David, would he? I mean he's a completely different person. But what if that was just an act before he let his walls down and treated me like I've always been treated. Maybe I should put my walls back up, I've fallen too fast and too hard for him. For all I know, he could only be acting like this now, and then when he has me as his mate, he'll do the exact same thing that David did. Taking a deep breath I got out of his blankets and walked into the bathroom to take a shower, hoping that by the time I was done, his sister would have the dress picked out and laid out on the bed.

RYDER P.O.V

My mind kept playing back to the fear that radiated off of Danielle when she was saying how much she hated being in dresses. My wolf could only imagine what she would look like causing him to push forward. Why was she so afraid? She's seen my wolf before and she never acted this way, and she walked away so fast with her head bowed as if she was.. scared of me? Oh my goddess. How could I have not known earlier, she was scared of me. David must have yelled at her about not doing something his way, why that piece of-

"Ryder? I have a dress picked out and it's laying out for her. She was getting out of the shower and told me that she could get ready by herself," Layla told me. She began fidgeting. Opening and closing her mouth she tried to form a sentence. I raised an eyebrow at her, "She acted like something was wrong. I don't know if something happened, but you need to keep it light tonight, get to know her, I think she's closing in on herself. You need to open her back up to the world. Someone did a number on her." I nodded sadly. I could only imagine what she went through.

I went to the guest bathroom and got myself cleaned up. We were going to a nicer restaurant in town and I wanted to get to know her better. Thinking of questions I was going to ask her tonight, I walked out of the guest room and into my closet, resisting the urge to open the door and see Danielle. Pulling out a blue shirt and gray slacks I walked back into the guest room and finished getting ready.

At seven I walked up to my room and knocked on the door, "Danielle? Are you almost ready?"

"Yes. Putting shoes on." My heart began to thump wildly in my chest, I wonder how she'll look. Stepping back as the handle turned, my heart thumped even more erratically. She came walking out looking like an angel. Her hair was pulled up with waves around her face, she put hardly makeup on, her dress was white with an open back that didn't help Gage from wanting to see more skin, and she had on three inch black heels. My breath was caught in my throat and I couldn't tear my eyes away from her.

She cleared her throat breaking me out of my trance, "Danielle, you look so beautiful." She blushed and ducked her head shaking her head slightly, "Why did you shake your head? Do you not believe me? You are a queen and you definitely look like one tonight. Hell you look like one all the time, but wow tonight-"

"Please stop, no need to flatter me," she said, faintly smiling. Her hand came up to my cheek and I leaned into her. She quickly pulled away and looked at me, "Ready to go?"

Looping my arm through hers, I noticed her unease and the slight feeling that she was pulling herself into an internal shell. I furrowed my eyebrows and walked us to the car. I was determined on pulling the girl I was falling in love with back out of her shell. And I was stopping at nothing to make tonight the best damn night both of us ever had.
