Werewolf One-Shots {18+}

The Mate

Wyatt's Point of View

(July 2013)

Wolf training ran smoothly as always; it seemed that my only issue was my mate giving all kinds of shit about my niece Beatrix's best friend Lia having a schoolgirl crush on me.

At first, Athena brushed it off, but now that Lia's getting older, she's all of a sudden, became worried. I've made it clear as day on numerous occasions that I'm not interested in anyone besides my damn mate. But I guess my girl's just hard-headed like that and I can't lie that seeing her all jealous does turn me on.

Speaking of my headache. I see her across the yard talking to two of her girlfriends; her hand prompted on her hip, laughing at something I'm sure she said.

Athena's friends walk off, and she just stood there as her gorgeous caramel skin glistened from the sweat that covered her body that she'd acquired during morning drills, hair a midnight mess of curls that always reminded me of a fierce and her stunning eyes that look almost amber when the sunlight caught them just right. Moon Goddess, how did I get so damn lucky?

"Hey, pretty girl," I walked up to her, wrapping my arms around her from behind, and I kissed her salty neck, letting her hazelnut scent fill my nostrils.

"Don't 'hey pretty girl' me. I saw that damn girl makin' eyes at you again while we were training. How long are you going to keep entering that crush Wyatt?" She tilted her body away from me so that my lips left her neck almost immediately.

"How many times do I gotta tell you that I don't want anybody else. She's just a girl with a crush. I remember it wasn't long ago when you used to follow Kai around like a lost puppy, or did you forget?"

I pulled her back to me, kissing her behind her ear the way she loves it, and I feel her relax in my arms. I turned her around so that she could face me, and I kissed her lips as I ran my hand through her thick locks.

"That was different... and I'm still mad," Athena pouts her soft full lips against my mouth, and I smile at her adolescent-like behavior.

"Moon Goddess woman, how? And for what?" I leaned back, laughing at the fact that she ultimately failed to see the similarities between the two situations.

I genuinely love this girl, but sometimes she can just be so damn stubborn. We've known each other since we were kids, and to be honest, we never really got along. Yeah sure, she was cute and all but I just never really liked her like that. I thought Athena was really stuck up, plus she had a massive crush on Kai before he left, so she wasn't paying me no mind anyway.

But then we turned sixteen, and everything changed. It was like I needed to be around her, and I had to protect her, to love her. I basically had feelings for her at the flip of a switch, and it consumed me completely.

In the beginning, I didn't know how to feel about how fast everything happened. But I got to know her, and I really like how she was the perfect mixture of sweet, reliable, and vulnerable.

I was the quarterback of our football team, and she was the head cheerleader. It was written in the stars and who the hell was I to argue with the Moon Goddess about how a girl I once couldn't stand was now my mate, and I couldn't breathe without her.

"Because you were a conceited asshole back then, so my attention was elsewhere," She bites my bottom lip, and I growl, feeling myself stir in my shorts.
