Zack’s POV
After I left the girls with Tanya I went to the office to catch up on Pack work. We are supposed to host a meeting and mating ball next month and so there is a lot of work to be done. Mum is taking care of all the planning but I still need to make sure that the security is upto date and we don’t get caught by surprise.
10 min into my work I start wondering what my mate is upto. I can’t wait to see her. I will have to call a meeting with the elders as well to make sure there are no objections for me to take on a Human mate. I will put that off for now and try and just enjoy this weekend with my mate and worry about the elders on Monday. I will somehow have to convince the girls or at-least Emma to stay back for longer than the weekend.
At about 3 I decided to go shower, shave and look good for my mate. I put on blue jeans and black tshirt and my black sneaker. I get to the living room at around 3:45. Liam and Andy are playing on the Xbox and Sam is on his phone I just grab a book and try reading. The key work being Try. I wonder what mate will wear. I was soo lost in my thought that I didn’t realise the guys were talking to me until I heard one of them say “dude you are sooo whipped” “sometimes I do wonder why I tolerate you guys” “cause you love us” just as we were bickering my mates smell hits me again , this time there was a hint of roses, must be her perfume. Just then she walks in. She is wearing a simple black dress that reaches just above her knees and clings to her in all the right places and black sandles and barely any make up, she doesn’t really need make up. When I look back at her face she seems to be blushing. She is sooo cute.
“Let’s get going peeps” I say and walk up to my mate. Once I reach her I give her my hand and she takes it without hesitation. I know it seems like such a small thing but to me it means a lot. “You looks gorgeous” I say to her “thanks” she blushes.
Once we get out of the back door it’s a small walk thru the garden to get to the clearing where we are holding the carnival. I guide her thru the garden with her hand still in mine. I noticed she has been biting her lips every now and then. I wonder what she is thinking about.
“Penny for your thoughts” I ask “nothing” “I don’t really believe you” she looks at me like she is debating whether she should speak her mind or not “I won’t judge , just tell me what’s on your mind” “mostly questions” “like” “like this place doesn’t really look like a boarding house, and all of you are extremely fit and I feel like I am missing something” oh oh me and my wolf think at the same time , she is very intuitive. I think about what I should say to put her at ease without giving anything away , but I don’t want to lie to her either “urm tbh there is more to all of this and us , and I will definitely tell you all of it when the time is right , for now can you please just trust me? I promise I will never hurt you” I look her directly in the eye while I say this so she knows I am being sincere. She kept looking at me for what felt like hours but really it was only a few seconds “ok” and the blush was there again. I wonder what’s going thru her mind , may be at some level she feels the mate bond as well ? Otherwise why would you trust a stranger that you feel something is off about? Just then we reached the clearing “here we are princess” and she had the biggest smile I had seen so far
