Her Nature

|Chapter 15|

Bonnie had me shower at her home, but wouldn't give me the clothes until she was done. She wanted to see my reaction when she gave me the skins.

So I sat on the toilet with a towel wrapped around my body while she showered. The first aid kit lay open on the sink as I cleaned my wounds. I would have to spend a lot of money on these supplies that most no longer need.

When mates are hurt, their mate can lick their wounds and skin contact helps them to heal faster. I would still be buying medical supplies in my fifties because I have no mate to help me.

I wonder what it's like to have a mate. I've heard it's supposed to be the best thing to ever happen to some people, but my pack didn't wait for their mates. Most were deflowered in their teenage years.

I saved myself, but I don't have a mate to give myself to. My purpose was to birth babies, not make them. The moon has her purpose for me I guess.

"Would ya stop, your sadness is suff'cating me."

Cheeks red from the fog and embarrassment. "Sorry, I was just thinking."

"'Bout?"

"Mates."

"Ahhh. I see. You find yours yet?"

"No." And I never would. "Have you?"

"Nah. I'm a free wolf. I's don't belong to no man! But I can't wait to meet 'em. Then I can finally do the dirty with 'em. I've waited since birth for this man to put me on ma back and-" Giddiness seeping into her tough guy tone.

"You're crazy." I chuckled purposefully interrupting.

"You haven't figured that by now? My goddess. How 'bout you Aura, can't you wait to meet your mate?"

I didn't answer right away, not knowing what to say. "Yeah sure."

"Yous don't sound happy 'bout it. Did you already give yourself away?"

"No! No! I saved myself. It's too important to give to just anyone." It was particularly easy to keep anyway considering my pack was repulsed by me.

"Good. We don't interbreed here. No pack members can do the dirty 'cause they gotta save 'emselves for their mates. There's punishment for those that do, even worse if both are in this pack."

"Sounds strict. That's good though, mates shouldn't have another."

"Yes ma'am! Now enough serious talk, tell me more 'bout yourself." The water shut off and the curtain drew back revealing Bonnie's naked body.

"You're very comfortable with nudity."

"Well I's a wolf. Plus I's got to show off my killer body." She winked while grabbing her perky breasts. I slapped a hand over my eyes dramatically and peeked through my fingers at her. They were a tad bigger than mine. She had curves for days and a toned stomach. She could be a model.

My eyes fell to the bush between her legs and they grew as wide as saucers. "Okay Bonnie, get a towel to cover that tumbleweed. Your body is great, but remember to save it for your mate."

"Yous just jealous you can't grow as much hair as me." Her body now hidden behind a fluffy towel.

"Pfft, I am not. I'd rather keep mine smooth and hairless thank you very much." She threw her head back and let out a bark of laughter.

"Whatever ya say darlin'. Follow me."

We stood in the middle of her room, her dangling the deer skins in front of my face. "No, Bonnie."

"Yes, Aura."

They looked so small that they wouldn't be able to cover anything on my body. "No." Arms over my chest, I did not need those skins.
