Victoria's POV
"So," I ask, "What's this stuff about us being mates?"
Blake chuckles, "So you believe me?"
"Well after seeing you change into a furry wolf with my own eyes, I can't really poke any holes into what you've told me. So yes, I believe you."
"Good." Blake declares with a triumphant smile on his handsome face.
I realize he's still naked so I turn around to give him some privacy so he can dress. I can hear him putting on his boxers and then his jeans.
What now? I never thought this would be the outcome of me asking him to prove it!
I'm still standing there thinking about all the thing I want to ask him, when suddenly I feel muscular arm slip around my waist and a heavy head on my shoulder and I jump with surprise.
"I'm sorry," he chuckles, "I'm just so happy you believe me that I can't help but give you a hug."
Huh, well one little hug can't hurt right?
I surprise myself at how comfortable and safe I feel in his arms, almost as if I was made to fit into them.
GAH! It's not normal to feel this good about a guy so fast! okay you know what? I think after all of this I just have to rethink what normal is.....
"Well, let's go inside and I'll explain everything you need to know alright?"
Blake takes my hand and we walk back into the kitchen where we find Helen making sandwiches and a young couple holding hands and sitting at the small table.
The guy gets up from his chair and walks over to us with a big smile on his face.
"So Blake, who is this little cutie?" He asks while looking me up and down, head to toe.
Great! I get to meet even more people while I'm in a nightgown. fan-freakin-tasic *sigh*
But when I start to move my arms to try and cover myself, I'm surprised to see that Blake's own arms have beat me to the punch as he pulls me back against his sturdy body.
I'm stunned to hear him growl, yeah that's right, GROWL. Never said that before. I can feel it reverberating throughout my body and I can't help but feel a little worried for the other guy when I hear the warning tone in Blake's voice when he speaks.
"Jake..."
However, before the other guy has a chance to respond, the girl sitting with him stands and slaps his shoulder.
"Jake! Stop messing with Blake."
She then sticks her hand out towards me, "Sorry about my manchild mate." She playfully rolls her blue eyes at him, "You'll get use to him. I'm Jane, it's great to meet you!"
I let out a small, nervous laugh and shake her outstretched hand. Oh look, more werewolves.
"Hi, I'm Victoria. It's very nice to meet you."
I shake Jake's bear paw hand next. He really does seem like a nice guy, a goofball, but still really nice. Jake seems to be around the same age and build as Blake but that's were the similarities end.
Jake had his surfer boy blonde hair styled in some spiky fashion and his skin is a rich caramel color which really seems to make his sea green eyes pop.
Huh, I bet he was a heart breaker before Jane.
I take a peek at Jane and even though she has the same physical aspects as Jake (with of course a much smaller build) she carried it in a much different way then he did.
