Dan Howell is a werewolf?

Chapter 16

You'll propose when she least expects it? Yeah isn't it exciting? You're proposing this weekend aren't you. How did you... I'm in your head remember? Oh yeah... So.... So what? Don't you need to, oh I don't know, get a ring? I, uh, already have one. Oh. Yeah, she's not going to let me kill her old pack is she. Nope, guess we'll just have to distract ourselves with wedding bells and pack introductions. Yeah, I wonder if Lauren would be okay with spending some bonding time with Simon. Probably. She'll want to show off her new mark and have a squeal fest. I'll have Phil come over then. We need to plan for this weekend. I was snapped out of the conversation by the sound of a knock on the front door. I walked over and pulled it open to Phil and Simon. "Hi Phil. Simon, Lauren's in the bedroom if you want to." I was cut off as Simon ran past me. Phil and I chuckled at our mates' new friendship. I looked up and he smirked. "What?" I asked wary. "I thought you were taking things slow." "Oh hush! I need your help by the way." "Help with what? I'm not giving you the talk." I threw a pillow at him as I plopped down. He dodged it unfortunately. "Lauren needs to meet the pack this weekend. And...." He squinted his eyes and looked at me like a parent who caught their kid in a lie. "And I need your help setting up my proposal plan." His eyes widened and his smile grew. "You're marrying her?! You know most Alpha's just make it werewolf official. You must really like her!" I fought the blush that rose to my cheeks. "You have no room to talk MR. Lester." "Oh but here's the difference Howell, I waited a year before I proposed. You have known her for days." "Maybe but I know her as a person. I know what she's been through, her fears, her likes, her dislikes. I know that she deserves every claim on me possible. And I want every possible claim on her." Phil stood there shocked. "Wow. I never thought I'd see the day when Dan Howell was irrevocably in love." I met his eyes boldly, the green of my wolves shining through the brown. "Well, here we are." He nodded with a grin. "Then let's get planning." We sat at the table and started planning the meet and greet. Which was difficult with Simon's unmistakable squeals and Lauren's shushes that failed. Phil and I just looked at each other with matching grins only known by those in love and kept on working. Oh yeah, I've got it bad.
