The Unexpected Mate

Chapter 8

***Abby's Point of View***

        It had been a few days since I had talked to Lizzy so when she texted me I was surprised.  We never usually go this long with out talking but since she met Nick its like I don't exist unless she needs fashion advice.  Normally I wouldn't get upset about it but something about him just irritated me.  Maybe its because Lizzy doesn't know who she really is.

        Her mom kept it from her and only told Lizzy's brothers since they would be taking over their father's position in the pack.  Lizzy has came of age though and her wolf is going to make an appearance soon.  I need to be there when it happens so I can help.  Tonya is depending on me to keep her little girl safe and I will not fail. 

        I told Lizzy to meet me at 11:30 even though I wasn't going to work today.  I needed a day to myself and think how everything was going to play out.  Maybe I should give Tonya a call and see what she has to say.  Just as I'm thinking about her I hear my phone ring.  What is this chick physic now?

    "Hello. You are just the woman I was thinking about".

    "Well hello to you to Abby.  I've got some news".

    "What's up ?  I Lizzy in trouble"?

    "No Lizzy is fine. In fact she is coming home this weekend so we can talk.  You might wanna come back to".

    "Are you actually going to tell her about who and what she is"?

    "Yes, we decided it was time to tell her since she is of age for her wolf and her mate.  Which I think she has already found and doesn't even know it".

    "It's Nick!  I knew it"!

    "I believe so dear.  Just see what she says and if she doesn't invite you just come anyways.  Your parents miss you  too".

    "I'll be there.  I'm never to far away from our girl.  See you this weekend".

        With that I hung up and started to think about my plans for this weekend.  Maybe that is was Lizzy wanted to meet about.  To invite her to go to her parents house.  Either way she would be back at the pack this weekend to see her parents.  She was so excited that she left for lunch a little early.

        I didn't realize the time when I got us a table and waited.  She still has a little bit before she will get out and head this way.  Maybe I should do some shopping while I'm in town.  Get a few new outfits for this weekend.  Who knows maybe I will find my mate being back at the pack.  One can dream anyways.

        I am a warrior and that's all I will ever be.  I'm not upset about it really just sometimes it would be nice to not think about fighting tactics all the time.  I guess that is why I'm at the head of the training pack every time I go home.  I so lost in my own thoughts about going home that I didn't even realize that Lizzy had joined me until she said "So what are we having today"?

    "I was thinking about something light so I can go for a run after work".

    "You are so dedicated to working out.  I don't know how you get anything else done".

    "It is called having an equal balance.  Maybe you should try it sometime".

    "Maybe.  Just not today".

***Lizzy's Point of View***

        Going to lunch with Abby was the best decision I've made all week.  We sat and talked about everything that has been going on in our lives.  She was making big progress with her next promotion and I couldn't have been more proud.  She told me that she got a call from her parents and she thought about going home for the weekend.  

        Maybe I should tell her about my plans for the weekend.  What if she wants to do a car pool?  Then all my plans with Nick will be out the window.  I'll just keep that bit of information to myself.

    "Do you want me to come over and help you pack"?

    "By pack do you mean drink wine and talk"?

    "Well of course.  What type of best friend would I be if that wasn't the routine"?

    "Sure you can come over.  You have to bring the wine though".

    "I can do that.  Maybe I will take the rest of the day off and we can get started early".

    "Nah.  No need to do that because I'm gonna work out for a bit anyways".

    "Fair enough".

    "Gotta run though Lizzy.  I'll see you later and don't forget the wine".

        I'm still taking the rest of the afternoon off though.  I need to get a bottle of wine and maybe some snacks for tonight.  I love our girl nights that we have.  Old movies, snacks, wine, and a lot of talking.  Its just what the doctor ordered to relieve some of my nerves.

        I made my way to the wine store to pick out the perfect bottle.  We both like Merlo so it wasn't hard to find a couple of bottles.  I grabbed a few and went and paid.  That's when my headache hit me again.  This is the 3rd headache I've had in the last few days.  Maybe I should get checked out or I need some extra sleep. 

        Getting in my car I pull out of the parking lot and turn right.  I needed to see him.  I knew that I shouldn't until the car ride but I couldn't help myself.  Driving down the road and all I could think about was him.  How good it felt for him to be inside me and how I felt whole when ever he was near.  I think I'm turning into some kind of stalker.

       He made me this way.  I never use to just show up anywhere without calling.  Here I was though at his front door getting ready to knock when all of a sudden it opened.

***Nick's Point of View***

        He knew it was her before she even knocked on the door.  Her scent gave her away and he could also smell her arousal.  It was almost more than he could bare so he rushed to the door and opened it.  He was taken aback by how beautiful she was and she was all his.  He was brought back to reality when she coughed and said "May I come in"?

    "Of course.  Sorry I was just admiring your beauty".

    "Sweet talk is your strategy I see.  Well it just might work for you".

    "It's always my strategy gorgeous.  What do I owe the pleasure of your visit"?

    "I was in the neighborhood.  Had to get wine for a girls night".

    "Last minute girls night before you head home huh"?

    "That's the plan.  Until I pulled out of the store and ended up here".

    "Well you could hold your girls night here if you want?  I can make myself scarce until later tonight".

    "That just might work.  I needed to see you".

       It wasn't until then that he actually looked at her.  When he did he could tell that she hadn't been sleeping well.  Maybe she would sleep better in his bed.  

    "You look exhausted gorgeous.  Want to take a nap here until tonight"?

    "That sounds wonderful.  I've been having a headache for the last few days and I think my meds are wearing off".

    "I've got Advil or Tylenol.  Which would you like"?

    "Tylenol would be greatly appreciated".

    "Let me show you my room and get you something more comfortable to rest in first".  

        He led her down the hall to his bedroom and went to get a shirt for her to change into.  She was just standing in the middle of the floor looking at everything.  So he grabbed a shirt and handed it to her and said "I'll be right back.  Make yourself at home".

        With that being said he walked out the door and back down the hall to the kitchen.  He grabbed the bottle and a glass of water and made his way back.  He stopped just outside the door and watched her drop his shirt over her head.  It hung just below her ass and she looked great.  He couldn't help himself when a low growl escaped him.

        He walked into the room before she noticed and handed her the bottle and glass of water.  She took it happily and walked to the night stand and sat it down.  Before he knew what was happening she was kissing him and running her hands up his chest and around his neck.

        It felt so damn good that he didn't want her to stop.  He deepened the kiss and grabbed her ass so he could pick her up.  When she jumped up and wrapped her legs around his waist it was game over.

    "Are you sure you want to do this gorgeous"?
