Star-Crossed Mates

Waiting

Hello lovelies! I'm sorry if the chapters are a little slow right now....the good stuff is coming! :)
-------------------------------------

The next morning was a little chaotic. The women of the pack were emotional with worry about their mates leaving and feared that they wouldn't return. The children begged for their daddies to stay home while their mom's tried to console them since they were too young to understand what was going on.

"Attention everyone! As you all know myself, my beta, my omega, and our fighters will be leaving shortly, Luna Naomi will be filling in my place while I am gone. I expect everyone to act as if I am still here anything less than will be dealt with when I return. Thank you for your patience and understanding." My dad's voice boomed throughout the livingroom.

We were standing on the lawn saying our goodbyes to the guys and loading up the cars with their overnight bags.

"Oh darling please be careful and come back in one piece." My mom pecked my dad on the lips before I quickly moved my attention from them.

My eyes roamed over everyone as they said goodbye my heart tugged and my wolf was whining with anxiousness.

'What is wrong?' I snapped at her quickly growing annoyed.

'I am worried about our mate!' She growled and I immediately felt bad. Of course it made sense she was concerned about Daniel.

'I'm sorry Kimber but he is going to be okay.' I tried to console her but she ignored me not that I blame her.

"You going to be okay while I'm gone?" Liam asked from behind me making me jump at how close he was without me noticing.

"Yes I think I can manage." I playfully smacked him on the shoulder and he pulled me in for a big hug.

"Take care of yourself out there, I kind of like having you around ya know." I told him seriously and he squeezed me tighter.

"I'll be back don't worry. Please don't kill her." He pulled back and looked at me with sad eyes as he tried to search the crowd for Misty. Their eyes met for a brief moment and she shared the same look of concern in her eyes before she masked it quickly, she cared about Liam that much I knew for sure.

"I won't." I offered him a small smile before he got into the driver seat of one of his cars. Most of the guys had already loaded up so I decided to make my way inside the house.

I walked into the house and up the stairs. Mostly everyone was outside so I sulked my way into my old bedroom. I sat on my bed and tried to ignore the sinking feeling that I couldn't shake.

My bedroom door was slammed open making me jump up from the bed as the door smashed against the wall. There stood Daniel Parker in all his glory. He was breathing heavy and his eyes were pitch black. He closed the distance in between us and backed me against the wall. He put his hands on each side of my face and put his face in the crook of my neck. He inhaled my scent for a few quiet moments and my wolf felt at ease for the first time in a long time, maybe even ever.

Daniel pulled back a few centimeters and his eyes were back to their normal deep blue color now that he was calm.

"I've been looking for you everywhere." Daniel whispered, his warm minty breath fanned my face.

"Why?" I asked with a shaky voice, my nerves were going haywire and my heart felt like it was beating a million times a minute.

"I couldn't leave without saying goodbye, my wolf is driving me insane and I myself wouldn't be able to do what I need to do out there if I didn't speak with you before I left. I need to be completely focused out there and I need to know you'll be okay here." His voice full of concern. I didn't want to stir up his wolf and honestly my wolf was howling in delight.

"Of course I'll be okay." I told him as our eyes locked. I felt my knees growing weak but I had to force them to lock so I wouldn't collapse right then and there.

He lowered his head into the crook of my neck, the tip of his nose grazed my collar bone. I couldn't stop my body from shivering, reacting to his touch. I gasped audibly and I could feel him smirk against my neck.

"I'll see you when I get back kitten." Daniel backed away from me slowly with a hint of playfulness in his eyes. I was swooning hard and fast. It was crazy how much such little interaction with him affected me so much.

"Dont call me kitten." I growled making him smirk even harder. I was enjoying being playful with him even more than I cared to admit.

"Take care of yourself Stormy." Daniel looked me over once more before he left the room quickly and suddenly his absence made me and my wolf miserable. I felt partly foolish for letting my guard down with Daniel but the other part of me was exhilarated and I loved being so close to him. I tried sitting down on the bed but my nerves were going haywire and my wolf wasnt helping. I had to get out of there, and fast.
