I swear, can a wolf go into shock? I didn't know but I am in shock and don't know what to do. Is that true? Would she lie to me about something like that? Is it even possible to have more than one mate? I've never heard anything about multiple mates before and now I apparently have more than one. How many did I have and who all were they and would they all be happy to share me? Would they share me? How would I mate with them all? I'm in my own thoughts when I heard my door open but didn't look to see who it was. Jennifer must have mind linked my dad and the pack doctor because they both are now in my room.
I'm still not paying attention when my father had to use his Alpha voice on me to snap me out of my thoughts. I looked up at him and you could see everyone other than them had come in here to see what had happened. Jennifer had a scared look on her face and so did my dad. Damien came and put his jad on my lap and started rubbing circles with his thumb to try to relax me a little. It helped a little I did have to admit to myself. But when I thought of what he would do knowing he had to share me with someone else or more then one I still started to freak out a little.
My dad noticed my panic and started to move towards me like he's going close to a scared and injured animal trying not to scare it. He finally got to me and had put his hand on my shoulders to gain my attention on him instead to help me calm down. I did finally. He mind linked me and asked what's wrong but I couldn't answer. I just pushed past them all and ran out.
Everyone was yelling for me to come back but I didn't stop. I just ran and didn't know where to go but just kept going. I felt someone keeping up with me but didn't care anymore. I just ran. I went along the pack territory and did a few laps. Whoever was running with me kept up but still gave me my space. I didn't know if it was Jennifer or my father so when I felt the stress and panic start to disappear I slowed my pace until I eventually stopped hunching over trying to catch my breath.
I turned to see who followed me when I saw a medium size brown wolf sitting and panting also. It must have been Jennifer cause everyone else was an Alpha so they would be huge in size. So I ran and hugged her and started breaking down crying. She turned back into her human form so she could comfort me better than in her wolf form. See when we shift our clothes don't tear off like most fairy tales say. Why wouldn't we be able to keep our clothes intact? It's not like we hulk up or anything. So when she turned back to her human form she was still wearing what she was before so not feeling uncomfortable we just stood there hugging and she rubbed my hair in a soothing way.
After I finished crying she took me beside a tree and sat down. Instead of rushing me to tell her what happened she waited with me. I knew I had to tell her. She was my best friend. I didn't know what to do or say cause I never heard of this happening before. Maybe she has and would be able to help me in this situation and tell me what I should do.
Finally I spoke up. "I'm sorry for freaking out back there but my wolf snow gave me new news that sorta freaked me out alot and now I'm more confused about what to do. I need help with this but I don't want everyone to look at me any different then they already do. I also don't know what to do about what she said and I'm a little scared about it because I've never heard of it before." She stayed quiet to let me say all that I needed but when I did she asked, " well, what she tell you that has you so freaked out about, maybe I can help or as you said I heard about it happening before?"
I knew she would understand why once I told her but would she look at me any different once I told her? I'm not a slut but some people would see me as one if I had multiple mates. So I decided to let her know what was going on and what Snow had said. She looked shocked at first then within a few seconds she was smiling. I was so confused now. Was this bad or was she gonna call me a slut or other bad names?
She didn't do anything except give me a hug. Ok so am I being pranked or is this a good sign? She finally pulled me to arms length and said what I didn't expect. "Oh hun that nothing but the Moon Goddess' will we can't help it if it is more than one, or just one. Heck some people never even find one that was given to them. She did this to make you stronger in life not to give you more of a burden. She knew you'd need more than one in your life and they will all be grateful to finally have you when you meet them who ever and how ever many there will be. Also if anyone speaks to you in any bad way because of it, I'll just kick their ass and be done with them."
She could always make me feel better about anything. I loved that about her. I hugged her for her kind words and laughed when she said she was serious about kicking anyone's ass for me. After a few more minutes of hugging we both got up dust off our butts of any dirt and started walking towards the pack house. We started talking about who could be my mates and that's when I told her how I felt towards Damien. She was so happy about it she grabbed my hands and started jumping up and down like a little school girl. After that we finally made it back and when we entered I saw everyone standing in the tv room with worried looks on their faces.
My dad was the first to reach me and hugged me but not tight like I was gonna break any minute. I hugged him back. Finally breaking free I saw Damien standing there with as much of a worried look then my dad. I decided then if he was my mate might as well see if he knew now or not. I slowly let go of my dad and walked to him with a shy smile on my face. When I got to him I had to look up to see him in his eyes. He smiled back but you can still see the concern in his eyes. I did what I didn't think I would have before and hugged him. I heard a shock gasp come from behind me but didn't move from his hug.
I actually enjoyed it and felt safe. I didn't want to leave. But I heard my father clear his throat to make a point to let go. I slowly moved away but he grabbed my hand and intertwined our fingers and just held me in place like I would leave at any moment. I looked around the room and saw everyone looking at our hands then back at us then back to our hands.
My dad looked happy but shocked, Jennifer looked so happy she would burst with happiness at any moment, and everyone else either had confused looks or one of shock. I couldn't help the small snicker as I saw some of them were from other girls from my pack. I never really associated with them like I did with Jennifer. Just a hi or a head shake in their direction when we passed by each other. I was never a big social butterfly but I'm guessing seeing some of their looks I don't think they would be too happy to be able to talk to me now.
My father was the first to speak up. "Ok everyone thank you for being worried about my daughter but as you can see she is ok now and everything can go back to normal. You can all go back to do whatever you were doing before." They all cleared the room except my group of people. The Dr. came up to me and asked if I was ok and looked me over, more for the benefit of my father than her or me. Dr. Lauren was my favorite and she knew how my father was with me. I'd get a paper cut and he would call her to come give me stitches, like that would need to be done. Shaking my head at the memories of how my father was when I was growing up made me happy he cared so much for me.
After she was done with her check up and told my dad I would be fine to just relax and get some rest, she finally left. My dad was the fist to speak up again. "So daughter do you want to tell us what happened and why you looked like someone drained all the blood from your body. Also can you tell me how you projected your fear unto everyone who came near you?" Ok now I was the one with a shocked look. I looked at Jennifer and she just gave me a small smile and shook her head to confirm what he was saying. "I did what now?" I sorta screamed and said that. Which also made everyone not of Alpha blood jump. The others who helped in the kitchen duties and prepped the tables all ran towards the kitchen like I just shifted and scared them all off.
I looked around and even my father looked confused. I had used Alpha's voice and it was stronger than his. Jennifer was shaking and Zilen was trying to comfort her by rubbing her back. I was shocked. I didn't mean to do that. I was just upset that I did what he said. What was with me now? What's new this time? I wished I could be just as normal as everyone else. I felt a small squeeze on my hand and Damien started rubbing small circles with his thumb to help calm me down.
I sorta forgot that we were holding hands and started to feel my cheeks get a little hot. Oh great now I'm blushing at him like a small child at her crush. I looked up at my dad and he saw the blush. He now has a big smile on his face too knowing why I'm like this. We need to all talk so I tell him and Jennifer in a mindlink that we need a meeting in his office alone just us three if possible. They both nod and start heading towards his office. I looked at Damien and told him I'll be back that if he could wait we needed to talk also. He nodded and let me go.
I finally made it in my dad's office and took a seat beside Jennifer. My dad sat in a single chair in front of us. I started the conversation that needed to be done. "Ok so dad while me and Jennifer were in my room talking, well more me telling her everything that's been going on my wolf Snow told me that i would have multiple mates not just one. It scared me cause I never heard of that happening before and was thinking of all that could go wrong so I freaked out." He had a shocked face at first but soon covered it with his thinking face.
I waited for them to talk, that's when Jennifer finally said what happened on her part. "After you told me what was going on I saw you talking to your wolf cause you got a certain look on your face and knew it was your wolf. But then I felt this immense fear come off you. It hurt me like someone was squeezing my heart and it scared me so I mindlinked your dad and that's when he showed up."
It took a while before dad spoke up. "When I came in I felt like I did when we lost your mother like all that fear was being put back in me. I never want to feel like that but when I got closer to you it got worse. I've never known this to happen but I will call the woman in white and see what she says so for now try to stay calm cause we don't know how this will affect everyone around you when other feelings come. Now with this multiple mates thing I have heard it to happen before but with only 2 or maybe 3 people in history has had more than one mate. Sometimes it was with twins or triplets sharing mates but as far as I know damien is an only child. I can see there is something there between you both. I also know he would be a great mate no matter if he has to share you. We will figure this all out together. Jennifer I need you to help her when she gets upset and stuff to keep her from doing what she did before ok. Can I trust you to do that?"
"Most definitely sir. I'll always be there for her. Jewel is like my sister. I'd do anything for her." I started to feel the tears fall. I felt the love that she was meaning for me just in her words. I guess they could feel my happiness too because they both had tears falling now also. I looked at them both and my father said "well at least it's not fear or sadness this time". We all started laughing. I need to control this. I don't know if I could go to school if I can't help my feelings being projected out like this. My dad must have had the same thought when he told me I didn't have to go to school until after we talked to the woman in white. He also wants me to try to talk to Snow about how I can handle this better and train with Jennifer on it.
After we were done and all agreed what would be best we all left but I had another conversation that I needed to have. We all made it down but instead of me taking Damien outside like I planned, supper was done and the table was set. So we all sat down and ate and had small talk amongst ourselves. I felt happy being surrounded by these people. Jennifer was beside her mate Zilen. I was sitting beside my dad on one side and Damien on the other. Of course his hand was on my thigh under the table. It was comforting in a way I couldn't explain. Even Sam and Collen was there making small talk with each other. I couldn't help but smile.
After we were all done we all got up to leave in our own directions when I grabbed Damien's hand and pointed towards the back door. He grabbed my hand and walked outside. In our backyard we had a small garden. Nothing huge like a maze or anything. It was just some flower bushes and a small stoned bench so others could sit and enjoy the scenery. Behind the garden was our training grounds. Then the woods behind that along with multiple little cottages for the big families that were in the pack.
We moved to the stone bench in the garden and sat down. I didn't know where to start. How do you ask someone if they feel a mate bonds pull but you yourself don't know how it feels. I felt a squeeze on my hand so I looked up at him and you can see the happiness in his eyes. So I had to know. "I have to ask and I know I'm gonna sound crazy for this, but do you think I'm your mate and can you feel anything as far as the matepull to me?" I sorta held my breath for his answer. He just smiled at me and said the thing I was hoping he would. "Yes actually I do. I have known since the day I first saw you at your school. I smelt your sweet scent of sweetpea and vanilla and it drove my wolf crazy. I know you can't feel it yet because you haven't shifted but everytime im near you and touch you anywhere I feel like my life is complete. Once you do shift we will feel sparks wherever we touch."
He slowly got closer to me. My heart picked up a beat when he was so close I could feel his breath on my face. I closed my eyes. Is it bad that we aren't even official yet and I want to kiss this man in front of me? As soon as I thought about it he leaned in further and our lips touched. It was so soft and so lovingly I was so happy this is how my first kiss was like. I felt him licking my bottom lip for entrance and I let him and that wonderful kiss became more deeper than I thought it would have been. Our tongues swirled around each other like they were on the dance floor. Every move his tongue went mine matched it with the same fire and deepness that he was putting into it. After we both moved apart we had to catch our breath. It was the most amazing thing I have felt especially for this being my first kiss.
After we caught our breath all I could do is smile and say "Wow that was amazing. Was that the same for you? I've never felt like that before." He shakes his head yes and tells me "my wolf is howling from being so happy. He's been wanting me to do that since I first saw you. He also wanted me to mark you then and there but without you being able to shift I can't yet." I sighed with happiness. I was so into the kiss I almost forgot to tell him about how he will have to share me with one or more other men.
I started to panic and he must have felt it cause he put his hands on each side of my face making me look him in the eyes and asked "what's wrong with my love? Did I say or do something wrong?" I shake my head no tears threatening my eyes to shed. "I have something to tell you but I don't want you to leave me after I say it. I don't know how you're gonna react to it." He lowers my head and kisses me lightly on my forehead and then looks back in my eyes and said what I really needed to hear right now. "Babe whatever is gonna happen to us we will deal with this together. Nothing will make me leave you. Even if it was saying I couldn't have you, I'd fight for us even with my dying breath."
I couldn't hold back the tears now. I felt so overwhelmed I couldn't hold them in any longer. I looked up in his eyes and felt that there was no lies behind what he said and my heart burst with happiness and love. Ok yes I said love. Even after just meeting him not too long ago, this man holds my heart already. "I have something to tell you but promise me you'll not freak out on me and leave me. It'll kill me if you did." He shakes his head yes and waits for me to finish. I took a deep breath and just said it. "I will have more than just you as a mate. You will have to share me with either one or two more others."
I shut my eyes at the end and hope he doesn't hate me now and storm off taking my heart with him. It felt like forever and I heard him start a slow laugh and then it turned to a huge gut laugh that was like music to my ears. I slowly peek through my right eye hoping this was a good laugh. He saw my confusion and said what I really didn't expect. "Babe I knew I would have to. Damn i guess my secret is out." Ok now I'm really confused. "What?" Is all I could squeak out at that moment.
