Girl Meets Wolf

Chapter 12

Axel

"So meeting the parents," Kyle casually drawled across from me on his bed. "That's pretty big man."

I looked up at him and just stared. Kyle and I have become almost friends, in our short time living together. I don't dislike him as much as I used to and he turned out to be a pretty funny guy. I almost chuckle a little at his outburst. Almost.

"I mean like, dude. It's getting serious. Are you ever going to tell her?" Kyle continued.

Which part was getting serious, I pondered.

The attacks or my relationship? Of course, I would have to tell Ashlynn my secret someday. I mean I am the soon to be Alpha, I can't just abandon my pack. They needed their Alpha.... and their Luna. But I don't think she's ready for that information, not yet. But with these attacks, keeping my secret has been getting harder and harder. My wolf is becoming overprotective of his mate, and he wants to be with her 24/7. He becomes very irritated when she's not around, which is not very good for me when it comes to getting my daily task done as a human. It's like a constant pounding in my mind. Mate, Mate, Mate, over and over again till I give it what it wants. He doesn't always understand why we can't be with her at all times. He runs on instinct, not on logical thought.

"I don't know" I said finally. I thought back to when she had first asked to exchange numbers. At first I was beyond excited, the mate bond poured through my every action, but afterwards I had felt angry with myself for giving in so easily. For at least a week after I got her number my wolf and I kept going back and forth on what to do. All he knew was instinct and his instinct was to claim his mate, all I knew was that I might not be able to protect her and that it would be better if I wasn't there.

Ashlyn had texted first after about 7 days and from there I gradually and unwilling opened up to her. Now I couldn't see my life without her. I don't know if I would be able to protect both mentally and physically from the werewolf world, but I knew that I would try my hardest. These last couple of months with her have literally been some of the best moments in my life.

"I mean I want to tell her, but I don't know how to tell her, without her running and screaming for the hills. She is still pretty messed up from the attack that happened months ago. Like what am I supposed to do, just come out and say, 'Hey I know you got attacked by wolves a couple months ago, but they actually weren't wolves. They are werewolves, who are bent out on enslaving the human race, and taking over the world. Oh, and by the way, I'm a werewolf too?"

I was nearly hyperventilating by the time I finished.

I laid back on my bed, defeated. Kyle's right, things are starting to get pretty.... Serious, or should I say complicated. I was opening up to people that I previously had no intention on talking to or even befriending. Now I'm knee deep in relationships I never wanted.

"Dude" Kyle said, slightly getting on my nerves. Can we move on to a different topic? "Why don't you think about it, and then after Thanksgiving, make your decision?"

I rubbed my chin and processed what he said.

"I guess" I sighed, really wanting to change the topic. "So you think I should go meet her Dad?"

I really can't believe the words that were coming out of my mouth. Did I really just ask Kyle for dating advice? Gosh, I needed more friends.

"I mean, it's a free trip to Disney. It's the place where dreams come true," Kyle stated matter of fact.

I looked up at him and he had this sort of far away look to his face.
