Mari~

~~1 year or so later~~

I crept around the corner of Blake’s room, being careful not to wake the sleeping bear. Nearing the bed, I crouched and checked if his eyes were open and thankfully, they were closed. I crawled onto the bed, being careful of my movements and sat next him. I moved my hands to his hips and pressed in. A ‘manly’ squeal came out and Blake opened his eyes and clumsily fumbled out of the bed, making a loud thud. I peeped over the bed to see Blake on the ground, curled around a bunch of blankets. I giggled out loud making Blake smirk. Suddenly large hands came and grabbed me and pulled me down with him. He quickly shifted so that I was under him and started tickling me. The room was filled with laughter and giggles. After a while, Blake stopped and I started to catch my breath. “Good morning Mari.” He said looking down and me and then kissing me on the cheek. I laughed and tried to get him off me. “Ew, doggy breath Blake!”  He continued kissing my neck and my face while I tried to stop him. He stopped and looked down at me. His now defined jaw, messy bed hair was glowing from the sun. Looking away from his face, I see him shirtless with well-defined abs.  “Done checking me out yet?” Blake smirked. My face turned red and I turned to the side. “Yes…” He pecked me on the cheek and sat up, and made his way to the bathroom. Whilst he walking away, I couldn’t stop but to stare at him, the way his muscles flexed every time he moved.

Yes, Blake has been training and now looking better. For the past year, he has been training every morning and sometimes even on the non-compulsory days. He would get up early and train while I come down a little later in my pajamas and watch him. Training for the year has made him more built, more masculine and definitely more confident. He was still bullied after a few days of finding out we were mates but after a while, everyone finally accepted the fact that he was changing for good. He became more social and even though I don’t like it, he’s become more popular with the girls.  Training and hanging around us has definitely made him more popular. The fact that girls flirt with him even though the whole pack knows I’m his mate, the guys treat him like a friend rather than a tool. He is still shy and nervous around people but he’s improving. Jordan has also accepted him as a friend but still a little bit weary around him.

“Ok, I’m ready. Let’s go!” Blake comes out of the bathroom, hair combed over, in casual clothes. When he didn’t hear any response from me, he walked over to me and bent down to my eye level. “Hey, is everything alright?” He looked at me, worry written all over his face. All I did was smile and touch his cheek and smile at him. “It’s alright. Everything is better than alright. I’m just so proud of you.” I pulled him close to me and hugged him. As soon as his armed wrapped around me, I felt warm and safe. Suddenly, he picked me up bridal style and pecked my cheek. “Let’s go! I’m starving.” He said as he stood up and we made our way down to the kitchen where the rest of the pack was.

As soon as we entered, we were showered with ‘good mornings’ and ‘hey’s.’ Blake set me down on the kitchen bench and went to grab us both breakfast that was laid out on the table. He handed mine and immediately, I started eating. Blake stood in between my legs and began eating his cereal with a wolfish grin.

Jordan and the rest of our group walk into the kitchen chuckling. He glances over at us and smirks, making his way over to us and places a kiss on my cheek. ”Goodmorning Mari.” He whispers in my ear. Blake tenses and moves me off the counter, putting a possessive arm around me, giving Jordan a growl. “Easy there. I’m just joking. You know that.” Jordan chuckles. Blake physically loosen up and let out a small chuckle and scratched his neck. Jordan winks at me and continues collecting his breakfast.

In the middle of talking and eating, a set of hands landed on my shoulder, startling me and almost making me choke. “Mari!” A voice chimed. Coughing, I turned around to find Cordellia smiling as usual. “God, Dilly! Almost gave me heart attack woman.” She just giggled and apologized.

“Sorry, I am just so, so, so pumped for senior year!” She screamed in excitement. God, this girl has so much energy. I just hopped off the bench and washed the dish and smiled. “I am too, but it wouldn’t be that great if we are late.” I say as I dragged Blake who was placing all the plates in the sink, to the car to school. Dilly followed us while Jude jogged after her.

Arriving at school, I look around to see that not much has changed. The juniors were in their friendship groups, nervous and excited about high school. Sophomores girls checking out senior guys for a chance to be their girlfriends and the guys, dressed in their gym gear, ready to sign up for sports team.

Blake parks his car and hops out to open my door. We hold hands and rejoin with our group as we head inside the school. We grab our new timetables and locker numbers and hang around our lockers, planning out where we will meet up and matching up timetables. Soon enough, the bell rang and we had to split. Blake kissed me goodbye and headed to woodwork class with Jude while Dilly and I headed to Physics.

The classroom was almost full and students began taking their seats. The only seats available were at the back of the room where it was almost impossible for the teacher to see or hear anything. We took our seats and the teacher made his que and came in and began the lesson.

Dilly tapped me on the shoulder and leant over. “This class is so boring.” She sighed. I softly giggled at her expression. I went back to staring at the teacher and his exaggerated hand gestures. Not much later, another tap directed me to Dilly’s direction. “So… have you and Blake done… you know… it?” I started choking on my own spit as I looked at her wide eye. The whole class turned to look at us in confusion. “I-I’m fine.” I coughed out. The whole class returned their focus back to the front and the teacher continued lecturing. Regaining my posture I turned to give Dilly a questioning look. “Well you have been together for about a year. Please tell me that you guys have done something other than makeout. So have you?” She said, her tone going deeper at the question.

“Um… w-we haven’t really done much other than that…” I said a little bit embarrassed. “I mean we go on dates and everything but… we haven’t gone that far.” She stared at me, eyes wide open and not blinking. “You are the ‘it’ couple! How on earth have you not done it yet?!” She whisper yelled. A few people turned around to look at us. I awkwardly smiled at them and they returned to listening to the teacher. “You should’ve already done it. Mates normally do this as soon as both are ready. I mean, you have nothing in the way of you guys. Your parents are okay with this, Blake doesn’t have to deal with the bullying anymore. So what is stopping you?” She questioned. “I guess we really haven’t had the time to. Blake is busy with training and I have been trying to apply for colleges.” Dilly sighed and stared at me. “Mating is something intimate. If you guys fully mate, it only brings you guys closer and it shows others that they’re yours as you are theirs. Since you guys are clearly in love, it only makes sense that you guys complete the mating process. Jude and I have completed it a few weeks after we met and we’re really happy together. With Blake becoming more popular and more attractive, I think that it would be best that you complete it.” She says looking back at the board.

This conversation made me think. I would love the mating bond to be stronger and the fact that Blake gets a lot of lustful stares from girls, I don’t know. Would it be best that we completed the mating bond?
