Did you guess who it was?! Probably...but whatever. Read, Vote, Comment, tell your friends. <3

“Lilo?” Day asks. We stare at each other in shock.

            “No f*cking way.” I silently curse at myself. Day crosses over towards me, and I can suddenly smell his scent strongly. It takes me everything to not just jump into his arms. My wolf screams for her mate inside me. Day reaches out to touch me, and then slowly retracts, as if scared of what will happen. I then reach out and touch his arm, and shocks course through me. I feel like I’m being pulled towards him, like a magnet. Day’s eyes widen.

            “It’s you, Laila.” He whispers. “You’re my mate.”

***********

            We stare at each other for a while, and then Day closes the space between us in two strides. He’s suddenly so close to me we barely have a centimeter of space. He cups my face in his two hands, and then leans over, crashing his lips against mine. I immediately respond, wrapping my arms around his neck, as his go around my waist. Electricity sparks off of us. I don’t know how I could’ve possibly ignored how sexy my best friend is. How did I not know my mate was with me my entire life?

            The feeling of Day next to my body makes me fingers and toes tingle with happiness. Kissing him is an experience that cannot be compared. It makes me feel wanted and loved, and like I’m the only thing in the world. His kiss is soft and gentle, like he’s afraid I might break.

            He bites my lower lip for entrance, and I open my mouth to grant him it. His tongue slides into my mouth, making a small moan escape. Our tongues dance together, as if we were always meant to be together, which I guess we are.

            After our intense kiss, we break off, and Day rests his forehead against mine. He cracks a smile. “Well, this is definitely unexpected, Lilo. But I knew you wouldn’t be able to resist my sexiness.” He grins at me. I roll my eyes at him.

            “Please, I didn’t even think of you as an option, but it would explain my weird feelings this morning.” I think about his husky voice, and goosebumps appear on my arms.

            “What are you talking about?” he asks, confused. I sigh.

            “When Ria hugged you earlier, I almost growled at her involuntarily. I thought I was going nuts.” I tell him, and he starts laughing.

            “Lilo, I can’t believe I didn’t notice this morning! When I woke up next to you in bed, I had the sudden urge to kiss you and I didn’t know why. I thought I was going mental.” He explains. I punch him on the arm.

            “Hey! Am I really that unattractive?” I ask, suddenly insecure. He immediately stops laughing, and looks at me straight in the eyes.

            “Lilo, you are the most beautiful girl on the planet to me. Have you not looked in the mirror recently?” I blush at Days’ words, and he pinches my cheek for good measure. “There’s the cute Lilo I know. Come on, we better get back.” He kisses me softly on the mouth one last time before shifting. I grin and shift too, and we howl together, signifying that we have found each other. Then we run back to the cabin.

            After an hour of running, we finally get back, and then we see everyone waiting expectantly. We shift quickly in the woods, and then walk into the clearing hand in hand where everyone’s gathered together. Everyone cheers, with my girls screaming and Day’s friends whooping. Everyone claps, and our parents rush towards us. Stephen winks at me. “I knew you guys were meant for each other. Ever since you were kids.” And I blush a little again. Da*n you cheeks.
