"I need to be careful; when you come through, everything gets teared up." Blake
Present time –
Alone in the varsity locker room, Blake shoved his uniform and gear into his duffle bag. He opted to go on the last possible day to pick up his belongings to avoid all the unnecessary hellos and goodbyes from his friends.
No, that’s a lie; he wanted to avoid bumping into Danny. Since she is also graduating this year, she would be back to gather her things.
Blake slams his locker door loudly as he remembers that Danny did take everything she had inside her locker on the last day of school. And since she’s not varsity or in any club, she would have no reason to return.
“Yeah, because she’s been too busy with PETEY!” Blake mutters.
He shrugs at the thought.
Why does she go to his cabin after her work?
Why can’t she go home?
Why does she even work there?
Is he her boyfriend?
no, he much older than us? There’s no way.
As he was rounding the corner towards the parking, he heard her.
“Imagine I almost didn’t get cleared because of a f*****g book!” It was Danny she was here.
God, he has missed her, despite stalking her every night in wolf form. He was about to turn the corner with a huge grin and talk to her when he heard HIS voice. f*****g PETEY!
“Then I am glad I got to help Dans.”
He better stop calling her that soon. That’s my nickname for her. He was seething with jealousy.
“I just want to double-check my locker, and then I’ll be out in a few,” Danny told him.
“Sure thing Dans, I’ll wait in the car.”
With his wolf hearing, he could hear Pete’s steps as he walked away from Danny. Blake took the opportunity to talk to her as he walked up to her.
As Blake approached, his need for her grew more robust as an invisible force pulled him towards her. His heart raced, his body wanting to be closer to her. The mate bond was more substantial than he thought, especially after letting his wolf take in her scent.
The wolf wanted to claim what was his; Blake had to control his emotions.
“Yes, Conner, what is it you want?” She didn’t even need to look up to know it was Blake. Something about him, his aura, that she knew was him when she heard footsteps walking towards her.
“How did you know it was me?” Blake's heart fluttered that she could sense him. This means she, too, must feel some form of the mate bond.
A human mated to a wolf does feel the mate bond, yet it’s not as strong as their wolf partner. But, desire, need, and sense are part of the mate bond.
“Who else will annoy me today?” She sighed as she peeked out of the locker and faced him. Her eyes are piercing thru his. Both awkwardly waited for the other to speak.
Blake reminded himself he was there for the twins. To pass on the information that the twins are in town and wanted to see them both. But before he could say a word, a voice interrupted them from behind.
“Well, isn’t this lovely. Our star player with the town loner” An annoying high-pitched voice cut through the silence. Danny knew whom it was even without turning. It was Claire of her tormentors and one of Blake’s ex-girlfriends.
“So you two a thing now, is that why you told us to lay off her?” A deeper voice spoke. It was Cade, one of Blake’s wings man.
Claire stood next to Danny while Cade stood behind her.
“What do the both of you want?” Blake asked, annoyed by their presence. Claire and Cade were werewolves too and belonged to his pack. Most of the school varsity and cheerleaders were. They need physical activity to work off their steam from being wolves. They were seen together in school; they were part of the same pack.
“Nothing Cade and I were just here to clean our lockers when we saw you too cozy. So we just got curious,” Claire’s voice was laced with jealousy.
“Why, Blake, have you gone soft for this one?” Cade placed his hands on Danny’s shoulders.
Even before Blake could command Cade to remove his hands off her, Danny shoves one of Cade’s hands on her shoulder as she spun around and punched him straight to his nose. A cracking sound came from both Cade’s nose and Danny’s hand.
“f**k!” Danny and Cade both screamed out.
“What the f**k? She broke my nose.”
All three wolves were surprised that Danny, who was human, actually broke Cade’s nose. Never mind the fact that her movements were swift.
“You better be glad that’s all your getting today. Now leave, or there will be consequences for your actions today. “ A heavy wave of aura flowed out of Blake. He allowed his Alpha aura to flow. This helped in bringing into submission Cade and Claire. Who now looked pale before turning and leaving.
Danny found the statement Blake’s statement quite strange. But she was too busy nursing her hand.
“f**k It, f**k it,” She cursed as she cradled her hand.
“Why would you do that?” Blake scolded as he tried to grab her hand to nurse it.
“Typical”
“What?”
“That you’ll defend your FRIENDS,” She snorted, turning her back to him as she started walking away.
“Dans, it's not like that” He ran after carrying the stuff she left on the ground.
AS he caught up to her, he continued, “Please let me see your hand or take you to a hospital to have it checked.”
Danny doesn’t stop walking, ignoring his pleading.
“I was going to punch him. You just got to him first.”
Danny stops walking; Blake follows suit. She turns to face him, her eyes piercing through him. Blake knew he could heal her hand if they were mated. How he ached to mark her.
Danny was breathing hard; something in what he said touched her. It made her heartache for him.
“Serious?” That was all she could muster to say.
“As soon as he grabs you. No,” Blake shook his head, “I knew he would grab you; even before that, I would have. I SHOULD have punched him.”
“Both of them?” Danny teased
“Sorry, I don’t hit women.”
Danny smirks, “OK, Connor, your forgiven.”
Blake knew she meant more than what transpired just now. She forgives him for their last encounter.
“Now, can I see your hand” Blake pleaded again,
“Fine” She gave him an aching hand. Honestly, it didn’t bother her too much. She’s been training with her dad and Pete for years now. And this was not the first time she’s broken a bone.
“Nothing was broken, just dislocated your index finger.” He was trying to ignore the spark that erupted as soon as their hands touched.
Danny felt it too. It was almost soothing the pain of her injured hand. It sent shivers down Danny’s back. Something Blake notices, including the goosebumps that whisp her hand.
He also noticed how she licked her bottom lip and then bit it softly. She was feeling the pull.
“Now,” His wolf says, “Kiss her now.”
Danny felt the urge to be closer to Blake as she stepped forward.
“Dans, I’ll need to pop the finger back in,” he said as he rubbed her palm with his thumb.
“Sure thing Blake”
Blake paused; hearing her say his name made him throb much more. It was the sweetest and sexiest thing he had ever heard. And he would love to hear her say it while they were intimate.
The two were locked in a trance, Blake forgetting that he would need to pop her finger. Danny no longer feels any pain from her hand.
Both take a step toward each other. Now that they were so close together. Their breathing both hitched. Blake slides his hand around her waist.
And the other that was holding her hand was now on the back of her neck.
“Blake,” Danny says as her breathing rasp.
“Dans, I am going to kiss you. If you don’t want me to say so, I promise I’ll back off” His voice is velvety and soft as he places a peck on her cheek.
Just that tiny peck sent sparks shooting all over her body. She couldn’t deny the feeling she had. That she wanted to Kiss Blake Conner
