Her chosen mate (The change series 2)

Chapter 38: Her scent

Natasha

As usual women were checking out Kai and dad, I felt sorry for the one who had found the courage to ask dad out, she would have had an easier time being turned down by Kai, I looked at Kai, he was laughing and enjoying seeing dad squirm in his seat from the attention, but Kai was getting attention too, I don’t think he always realised that he did, I knew that lady had been staring at both dad and Kai, dad just happened to be the one closest and easiest for her to ask out, if he hadn’t mortified her so badly I bet she would have asked about Kai next.

I looked over and saw the women on Kai’s side quickly roll her window back up when she’d seen dad turn down the other lady, she was about to ask Kai out, but clearly she had thought better of it not wanting to risk the same kind of rejection or dirty looks thrown her way.

Dad sighed in relief when the lights changed and Kai began driving again.

“Have you told mum where you are, dad?” I asked, he turned in his seat to look at me and said, “no, and stop calling me dad.”

“Right, Grayson, pass my phone please, and I’ll message her.” When we were outside near other people I was supposed to call him by his name because people would freak if they saw me calling a man who looked the same age as me dad, would probably think it was some weird kinky daddy fetish, so we stuck to using his name out in public.

Maybe I should have got Joey or Brett or any other pack member to come along instead because Kai and dad together only drew more attention to them, unfortunately us werewolves didn’t get supernatural good looks or any such lucky perk, so the rest of the pack looked normal, average or simply attractive, dad and Kai however, were the rare exception, they were those rare kind of men who were unusually attractive and pretty, the kind of men you expect to see on the front cover of a model magazine or a celebrity and the two of them together only made people more excited, double the hotness or something, I don’t know.

We eventually pulled up to Claire’s place and Kai led the way, he knocked on and we waited.

Claire answered and at first, her face lit up when she saw Kai, but she became unreadable when she saw he wasn’t alone, she looked downright hostile when she saw me. Dad stood in front of me blocking her view.

It was clearly her first time seeing him because I watched her travel her eyes over him, she bit her lower lip and almost unconsciously started playing and twirling her hair through her fingers, she looked love struck then she looked back at Kai, then back to dad as if she couldn’t decide if she was ready to let Kai go and move on to dad, or if she wanted them both.

I waited for dad to make some rude remark, but he didn’t, I was surprised, I looked at him and saw him looking her over curiously, his breath hitched when the wind blew, and I frowned at him, I looked to see Kai was already taking very shallow breaths. I looked at dad when he grabbed his crotch and mumbled, “f***k,” as he rushed away from the doorstep and Claire.

Kai frowned at him while Claire smirked like she knew something we didn’t, I went over and quietly asked, “what’s wrong?”

Dad kept his back turned to her when he murmured, “she smells really f.ucking good, like, pin her down and f***k the s.hit out of her good.”

“She’s in heat?” I asked.

“f***k no, she’s something else altogether, her scents much more powerful than that, if I wasn’t already mated to your mother I’d honestly consider f.ucking her and impregnating her.”

“Ew, Dad, sorry, Grayson, too much info.” Dad wasn’t one for holding back on details.

“Just being honest.”

More curiously, I asked, “if you hadn’t stepped away from her just now do you think you could have ignored it?”

He traveled his eyes over my face and asked, “why? Is that what happened with Kai? Did he have s**x with her?”

I gave a reluctant nod, and he said, “is that why you brought me along, to see if I would react the same way?”

I nodded again and he sighed, “honestly? I don’t know, it’s really powerful though and if Kai was around her longer than that then I don’t think it was him wanting to have s**x with her but more the wolf needed to, did he lose control?”

“He said he did, yes.”

Dad nodded as if that made sense and said, “I’m almost certain he’s telling the truth darling, you know me, I don’t fall for a pretty face and if it’s making even me react, then Kai stood no chance if he wasn’t aware of what was happening and didn’t get away as fast as I did.”

I couldn’t even describe the pure relief I felt hearing dads words, he didn’t even understand the concept of lying, so I knew every word he spoke was nothing but the absolute truth, if he believed that was what had happened, then I did too, he was almost never wrong when it came to anything werewolf related.

Her smell was designed for male wolves which was why they were the only ones affected by it , now dad knew to be careful about breathing in too much he went back over to her doing what Kai was doing, taking small shallow breaths.

“What the f***k is wrong with your scent?” He asked, typical Grayson style.

She blanched at his words and the rude tone in his voice, it was probably her first time ever having a male not react to her looks or want to flirt with her and with her new scent, she probably thought it was guaranteed he would have wanted her, she hid her look behind a smile and said, “you tell me, I’m a new werewolf, so I’m still learning things.”

He shook his head, “nah, I don’t buy your bulls.hit, your scent isn’t normal, have you been hanging around witches or demons or some s.hit?”

Both me and Kai looked to one another with a welp expression to dads sarcastic response, even though he had worked with a witch who helped the pack with a wendigo problem in the past he still had trouble taking it all seriously and believing in it, I don’t know why he thought people breaking bones and changing into an entirely different species from human to wolf was completely normal and believable, but other supernaturals with less dramatic powers were not.

We all watched Claire’s face, but only dad had the uncanny ability to read body language as good as any animal, being more wolf minded meant he picked up on things that even us werewolves didn’t always pick up on, he sneered at her, “that’s it, isn’t it, you’re working with a f*****g coven?”

She looked less smug and a little more nervous now she knew she couldn’t seduce her way out of this situation, “no, just a simple potion I was given to drink,” she tried to feign confidence, but we all knew she wasn’t feeling so brave now.

“Where is he?” Kai asked.

“Who?” She tried.

“Oh cut the c.rap Claire, the mutt who saved you, where is he?”

“With our pack.”

Now dad and Kai were paying attention, and it was dad who asked, “he has a pack?”

“Yes,” she frowned as if that should have been obvious.

“Where?” He growled.

“I don’t know, I haven’t been fully accepted, the alpha doesn’t trust me yet.”

“Who saved you?” Kai asked.

“Jasper.”

“You best f.ucking give us straight answers and stop skirting around what we really want to know,” dad snarled.

She looked at him confused and scared, and Kai lightly touched dad’s shoulder and said to Claire, “what is his rank in the pack?”

“Oh, I’m not sure, one just under second in command I think.”

“You think or you know?” Dad asked coldly.

“I know!” She almost squeaked, so much for her new badass act.

“When are you meeting him again?” Kai asked.

She hesitated and dad finally lost his patience, he grabbed her by the throat and pinned her against her door, “if you don’t stop giving half answers I might decide to leave pieces of you for your new friend to find.”

“Tonight! I’m meeting him tonight!”

“Good. Where?”

“In the woods, eight pm.”

“Good, don’t mind if we wait then, do you?” Dad asked but walked past her inside the house anyway, Kai followed, I felt awkward about it and tried to as well, but she snarled at me, of course, take her problems out on me the weak omega and the woman she couldn’t stand being with the man she wanted for herself.

Kai took my hand and pulled me in past her and snarled in her face, “you don’t ever f.ucking look at her like that again, or I’ll kill you and make sure you stay dead this time.”

She slunk away from him, and we all waited in the living room. It was an awkward day, for everyone except my father, he was quite happy making himself at home, sitting on her sofa and putting his feet up on the table, her dog came into the room barking at us all and freaking the hell out seeing humans but smelling wolves, dad growled at it, standing up and walking slowly towards it until it submitted to him.

I put my hand to my head in exasperation, Kai came and stood by my side, his hand lightly went around my waist and I didn’t stop him, I was so happy I had brought dad along to test what I had been wondering, whether Claire’s scent was really what made him lose control, I hadn’t expected much from it, but this was even better, it wasn’t even natural just some spell to enhance her scent.

I think by the evening Claire’s nerves were shattered, dad was making her uncomfortable, he had that effect on people, he was cold, snarly, rude, and dismissive and he somehow was being all those things while still acting nonchalant and relaxed, talking to Kai, helping himself to the fridge and so on.

When it turned half seven, Dad got up off the sofa and said, “let’s go,” walking past us and out the door.

Kai looked at me and rolled his eyes and I smiled, he hesitantly slipped his hand in mine and when I didn’t pull away he held it more firmly.

“Just need the restroom,” Kai called out where dad and Claire were waiting on the doorstep.

Pulling me along with him, he made me go into the small cramped toilet with him and shut the door behind us. “Can I kiss you?” He asked.

“Kai, I know it wasn’t your fault and that you lost control because of her weird scent spell, but you still did it, and I’m going to need time to adjust, we can’t just go back to how we were.”

He nodded, “I understand, sorry, it was stupid of me to assume.”

I looked at him, which was hard, he was absolutely gorgeous and all I wanted to do was touch him and have him all over me, I thought about it, I loved him so much, I always had, and I knew I always would, even if I wasn’t ready to jump back into the relationship just yet, maybe I could try to be like the women he dated and keep it casual for now? I didn’t know if I could do that without getting hurt or wanting more, but I could try, plus right now, I wanted Kai, I felt the need to claim him back from that horrible woman, and I wanted her to smell him on me, to know he was mine and not hers.

I reached up and kissed Kai, for a moment he didn’t respond, he hadn’t been expecting this at all but when the surprise wore off he kissed me back, hard, hungrily, desperately, he undid the buckle on his belt, undid the button and pulled down his jeans just past his a.ss, he fell onto the toilet seat and I fell with him as we continued to kiss, he helped me undo my own buttons and tore down my jeans, I quickly stepped out of them, his hands on my hips to stop me from tripping, then he pulled me onto him, making me straddle him, I gasped as he pushed himself inside of me thrusting into me hard, deep, fast, I rocked on him just as desperately, my arm around his shoulders for support, my other hand splayed out against the wall, the feel of his hands on my thighs as he moved me back and forth on him, and then I was coming, screaming and crying out as pleasure consumed me, he finished inside of me, a groan and growl leaving his lips as he climaxed, and then I collapsed against him, my forehead pressed against his shoulder as we both sat there sweaty and catching our breath.

“I’ve never had s*x on a toilet before, but it was great, and fast,” I breathed.

Laughing softly he said, “having s**x somewhere we shouldn’t be always makes it more thrilling, and we finished fast because it was a quickie, love.”

“A what?” I asked.

He laughed harder and said, “a quickie is having s**x really fast and quick, it’s rushed and desperate, in our case because we don’t have the time for proper s.ex.”

“Right,” I grimaced and quickly climbed off him and got redressed. I watched as he ran his fingers through his sweaty wavy hair, pulled his jeans up and started doing the belt back up.

I sighed dreamily inside my head, but when he was done I said, “this doesn’t mean anything, let’s keep things casual for now, ok?”

He rose an eyebrow but nodded, “uh, ok, yeah sure, whatever you want.”

“Are you ok with that?” I asked.

He shrugged, “you need time, I get it, I’ve spent my life doing only casual so don’t worry about me.”

He opened the door and waited for me to leave first.
