SECRET TAIL

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

   
 'Okay.' I closed my eyes and clutched my seat in anticipation. I heard him chuckle quietly,  I could feel the car slowing down gradually and then it came to a stop. He opened his door and walked over to my side before opening the door and guiding me out of the car. 'Walk carefully and follow my directions. Just a little more and we are here, you can open your eyes now.'

            As soon as I opened my eyes I was stupefied, it was like I was struck by lightning. We where on  the beach but it was not sandy, rather there was a little field and it stretched out to form a rocky edge with the ocean calmly kissing the rocks. it was like a cove but we where outside, I never knew somewhere like this existed because it would have been a very popular tourist location and with the setting sun it looked down right magical.

              'I did not know there was a place like this near us, its so beautiful.' 'Its on our pack land, humans are not allowed to enter hence very few humans know about this place. Do you like it?'

  'I love it.' I threw myself into his arms and gave him a hug. 'I have it all planned out, how about we have dinner then go for a swim and i can finally see you in your mermaid form, I can also shift if you want me to.'    'I would love that very much.' I said and he led me gently to a blanket laid out on the grass with a basket on it. He opened the basket and brought out fruit wine, baked chicken and potatoes along with fruits and spread it out for us to eat. 'Dig in.

           I grinned and started eating, we fell into a comfortable silence as we enjoyed our food, after eating we laid down with me laying my head on his arms and soaked in the sun. 'How was the meal?' He asked me. 'I enjoyed it, did you prepare it?'

      He scratched his nose and I could see a faint blush on his face as he replied, 'The pack cook did, I cant cook.' I burst into laughter as soon as i saw his expression, he looked so cute and I could not help reaching my hand out to touch his face, 'You look so cute.' I said.

      He visibly paused before holding me and with an expression that spelled out really, he said, 'I am cute, me the all powerful Alpha, cute? I think you have me confused with someone else or you meant to say devastatingly handsome, dashing or anything else but cute.' I laughed and replied, 'Oh really, I thought you were masculine enough to handle being called cute, I guess I was wrong.'

      'Now you are just trying to get a reaction from me and I won't satisfy you.' he kissed my forehead and continued, 'Don't you want to see how I look, I am going to change.' I let out a disappointed sigh that I could not get more of a reaction from him and gave him a nod. He got up and walked behind a boulder and I could hear the sound of bones breaking and I wondered if it hurt but before I could dwell on that thought, a large wolf walked out from the back of the boulder, it was ginamous. This was the biggest wolf I had ever seen in my life, aside from the features that showed it was a wolf, the size just lets you know it is anything but a normal wolf, it was downright magical, no questions asked. It's fur was dark brown in color like the color of a bear. I was shocked for a moment and almost got scared until I looked into its eyes and I just knew that that was Jason, he may have changed forms but he would never hurt me, he was mine.

           He hesitated and watched me carefully to try and guess what I was feeling, then he walked gradually towards me. Then he leaned down since I was sitting down because even if I stood up, his giant wolf would still be taller than me and used his forehead to touch mine. It was like a special connection was established between the both of us and I heard his voice in my head asking me, 'Are you okay?'

  'How is this possible, how can I hear your voice in my head?' I asked out loud surprised. 'I established a temporary bond with you, it's something that wolves can do when they are in their wolf form with someone, they trust but it is only temporary. Are you repulsed by it; do you think I am invading your privacy?'

                      I could hear the hesitation in his voice as he was scared I would be angry or reject him, 'No I think it is cool, now I can hear you even when you are in wolf form, why would I not be happy about that.' 'You can also talk to me with your mind, think of what you want to say to me and I will hear it loud and clear.'

                'That's awesome, too bad we can only do this while you are in werewolf form and its only temporary. I could have talked to you when I am in school without anybody knowing.' 'Well, when we complete our mate bond it will be permanent and then we can talk to each other whenever you want to no matter the form, we are in.'
