In the arms of no one (Completed)

Chapter Three

Tiernan's POV

---

"Mo-oomm! What did you do with my trainers?!" I yelled from my wardrobe door. I look around, biting my top lip, trying to see if there is maybe a corner that I might have missed. It's four days before Christmas and I wanted to go out and do some gift shopping. Yeah I know, I should have had all my shopping done ages ago, but I really didn't have the time.

Between spending time with my family, my girlfriend, Alpha training duties, which is a hell of a lot more than the list implies, school and pack training, I don't have much time for anything. So now, here I am four days away from Christmas without any presents and if I don't get a present for my girlfriend, I'm dead or I might as well be.

My girlfriend, Bianca Stevensen, is amazing. She'll make an awesome Luna when the time comes. But officially, I won't find out if we're mates until my birthday in a few days when I turn 18, which coincidentally is the same day as Christmas. If you think that means that I got double the presents or anything epic like that growing up, you would be wrong. Because I didn't. Sucks to be me, I guess.

Anyway, back to my beautiful girlfriend; she and I have been together for nearly two and a half years. Her father, who has been one of my father's best friends since they were in diapers, is the Beta of our pack. Her mother is a human from - uhh I want to say Australia but I'm not sure, it might be the neighbouring country of New Zealand. I wouldn't dare voice my confusion over which country she belongs to out loud, because the last time someone got her country of origin wrong, Female Beta Elizabeth kicked his a$$ so hard he couldn't sit for three days. That's practically a lifetime of pain for a werewolf. It was made worse because the warrior then became the cautionary tale that was spoken of so often that the guy decided to request a transfer. I mean, I don't necessarily blame the guy. He did get his butt handed to him by a female human and all because of a tiny mistake.

Even though I'm confused about the country that the accent comes from, I'm not confused about how sexy I find it. Just don't tell Bianca I said that. She'd gross herself out as well as myself, if she thought that meant I found her mom sexy. Because I dont. Ew. No!

Anyway, I am completely in love with Bianca, the way her pretty red hair falls down her back in long curly waves. Her gorgeous green eyes, her soft pouty lips and, oh man, don't get me started on her body. Sometimes, I want to sink myself into that sweet body of hers so deep, that I can't find my way out again. But we agreed that we'd wait until the moon goddess confirms what we already know. That we are destined mates. But that doesn't mean we haven't done other things. I've placed my fingers and mouth in and on places that I wish my cock could go.

The small jump in my pants makes me grimace a little, because now is definitely not the time to be walking around with a fricken hard on.

Besides the fact that Bianca is beautiful, she has all the traits that I admire in a Luna. She's honest, polite, patient, kind, strong and caring. So many more attributes that make me feel grateful to have her as more than just the friend I grew up with.

Fisting my dark brown hair in my hands, I walk out of my wardrobe and yell once again. "Mo-oomm! What did you..." the loud projection of my voice dies down to nothing when I spot my mother standing next to my open bedroom door with my sneakers in her hands, a cheeky smile on her face and her sparkling blue eyes shining with mischief.

"You left them in the gym, and no one wanted to touch them because they stank so badly."

Narrowing my eyes at her in offence, I grit my teeth in irritation as I growl in conjecture, "O-oorr, no one wanted to touch them because they knew they were mine and didn't want their heads chewed off."
