Their Switched Wolves

Love-Sick Puppy

I waited for Jacob in the meadow. I took the opportunity to think about everything more clearly.

Aric was restless, he wanted to go back to the Pack. His mind is completely on Mia and he's even given me a detailed description of what he wants to do to her. This wasn't making things any easier, on the contrary. But I need to let him talk to me too. I´m not the only one suffering. I need him to show his frustration. We have to support each other.

Lucas, I'm going to the Pack House. Meet you there, it's lunch time. Like always, Jacob is keeping fundamental information from me. Sometimes i really want to beat him hard. Now is one of those times.

Jacob, did she accept? Can she help? I asked, losing my mind.

Yes. We'll talk better later. He closes his mind-link, and I didn't even realize it was lunch time now. I have to get off.

Aric took his way and we ran towards the house. When we arrived, I was about to shift again when I felt reluctance on Aric's part.

I don't mind if you go in all your glory, Mia will growl with pleasure. But you'll be all sweaty and smelly. Aric surprises me with his reproachful, disgusted tone. The smell of wild berries was ecstatic, so strong, pushing us to it...but Aric was determined, to my amazement, and led us to the bedroom. My house, like any Pack House of Werewolves, is prepared for wolves to shift there. It has wide corridors, large doors, spacious rooms. It's a way to guarantee space in case something urgent happens. And now I´m grateful for that. I don´t need to be afraid of breaking something.

When we get to the room, Aric lets me go back to my human state. I put on my slippers. Whenever I put them on, I remember my mother, who always treats me like her child. When she offered me these slippers I got angry, I was so mad. I'm too grown up now to wear wolf-shaped slippers. But actually, I find them comfy, so I use them in my bedroom.

I showered quickly.

Choose a sexy outfit. We want our mate to droll! Aric asks me enthusiastically. It's good to feel this side of him, it's like he's discovering new things. Aric is usually a very strong wolf, very masculine, very sure of himself and with no patience for wasting time. Now he seems like a hormonal puppy, and I´m enjoying these little things. He is so carefree now. Not like how he used to be yesterday. An arrogant one, a true leader.

Aric was restless, he helped me pick up my outfit. Saying what I should use or not. I could never think Aric could be a fashion advisor, he only makes me want to laugh at him.

I wore a black v-neck t-shirt and ripped jeans. I put my slippers back on and went to the bathroom. I put some gel on my dark brown hair, fixing my hair in a disheveled way but with some fashion sense, as Aric demanded me to do.

Lucas, we're all waiting for you! Smith sends a mind link and I quickly leave the room without thinking about anything else. The desire to see her, or see them, is too much and I can't resist. I know our situation, but I can´t deny how much i want to go there and be near her.

When I reached the door, I felt Alice's eyes traveling over my body. Kayla locks her eyes with mine and it's like the world stops. Until I'm interrupted by a new mindlink.

Lucas…umm…why do you have these wolf-shaped slippers on? I looked at Smith in confusion. I see him trying to keep from laughing. I look down at my feet and I'm speechless. How can I be so pathetic! I´m a Alpha! I conquered packs! My Pack is one of the biggest and most prosperous ones in all the world! I´m one of the greatest warriors there is and I´m here, in front of my mate, with my wolf slippers! Moon Goddess, what are you doing to me? I asked, praying for her to help me.

I wanted you to impress them. But that was not the kind of impression I wanted us to make! Aric mutters at me with rage in him. Aric blocked himself, leaving me alone. Just perfect!

Alice must have realized it though, because she looked away and concentrated on her food, trying not to laugh.

Kayla looked at me, I saw her eyes on my slippers and a sweet smile appeared, a comforting one. I expected her to laugh at me and if she did I think I would kill myself.

I cleared my throat, trying to think of what to say to get myself out. "I just came to ask you to wait a few more minutes." I turned around and ran to the bedroom. I chose my favorite sneakers and went out again. I was praying all the way to reach there. I just do not want to embarrass myself anymore.

"Sorry for the delay!" I sat down quickly, grabbed the fork, started to serve myself.

"I have a friend who wants to help." Jacob's voice piqued my interest, and I set down the fork and waved my hand at him to continue.

"She's a hybrid, half witch, half fae. She wants to meet you both. Then she'll see what she can do." Jacob said, and I can see the pride with which he said the words. I smiled at him.

"When can we go?" Alice's interest was obvious. Deep down I feel bad for her. I wish I could say that I feel something for her, that something about her attracts me... but nothing. Alice is a perfect shewolf with an athletic body, a perfect body, a beautiful face...

Alice is Kayla's great contrast. Both are beautiful and perfect, but Kayla has a posture that alone exudes power, a delicacy in her actions. The elegant way she walks, the way she talks, the way she handles things... she has something sweet in her eyes, something that, despite the sadness, sends warmth. Maybe it's a mate bond...

Alice has determination in her voice, discipline. I think she has a rational mind. Her body shows that she has been training. Maybe she is a warrior.

Kayla's form is more fragile. The way she manages her emotions is praiseworthy. How she handled me in the office, touching me to calm me, showed she cared. The way she looked at me with worry, how her touch was always there, even before my emotions became a storm. It was like she was able to read me. And that is not the bond making it, the bond makes you feel what the other feels, but doesn´t allow you to know it before it happens.

Alice, however, was talking without moving, without showing any concern about my emotions. I could feel her emotions, only hers.

"We can go after lunch," Jacob informed us with a broad smile, "Smith, you can go with us too. I need you to meet her as well."

We followed Jacob. We are now in a small wooden house. In fact, the house seemed to be inside of a tree.

Jacob was knocking at the door. A small girl appeared with a sweet smile. She looks at us. She became surprised, looking somewhere behind me. Her hands reached her mouth...

"Melanie!" My mate screamed in happiness.
