Nicole

12

After Logan came flying into the kitchen and growling “Mine” the house became eerily silent, so silent one could in fact hear a pin drop.

Pack members had rushed into the kitchen to see what the commotion was about but everyone froze as soon as they realised what was going on.

The silence was disturbed by Dave and Jake yelling “Oh s**t!” in unison which broke through my frozen state.

“M-me?” I sputtered, wide eyed while staring at Logan then realised by his red eyes that he was no longer in control but his wolf was.

Every wolf has different eye colours, an Alpha has red, Luna yellow, Beta green and Gamma blue while the rest of the wolves have brown eyes.

What the heck am I doing giving a History lesson about wolf eye colours when I have a red eyed Alpha in front of me calling me his.

“MATE” he growled loudly and took a step forward prompting me to take a step back.

“Maybe your wolf is confused or something I mean I-“ but I got cut off by Logan wrapping me tightly in his arms.

“Mine” he said but softly this time.

“Okay, maybe your wolf isn’t confused” I swallowed and laughed nervously still confused as hell about what was going on.

After trying to squeeze out of his hold he only kept tightening it and whisked me away from the kitchen.

We now sat in the lounge area with Logan holding my hand tightly and everyone staring at us. He had gotten control of his wolf and was confused about me being his mate but didn’t question it. He didn’t want to let go of me so he held my hand, it also didn’t help that tingles were running up my arms at his touch.

“So let me get this straight,” My dad began “You two are mates?” He asked, disbelief lacing his words.

He and my mom had come back from the grocery store earlier and walked in on Logan basically squeezing the life out of me, they would probably not have said anything if it wasn’t for his red eyes and the awe and surprise on everyone’s faces.

Logan nodded and I didn’t say anything because quite frankly I didn’t know what to say.

Alpha Mason was sitting in a chair opposite Logan and I, watching us intently but with a huge relieved smile on his face probably because Logan found his mate and Luna.

Oh s**t, I was going to be a Luna. Oh my gosh, what do Lunas do? Am I going to turn into a wolf? Will I have to stop wearing crop tops? Man, that would suck because I love me some crop tops!

My dad carried on talking, clearly oblivious to my inner turmoil or panic attack, whatever this was.

“My baby girl has a mate” he muttered while pacing a hole in the carpet. He goes to say something else but thinks better of it and carries on pacing while shaking his head. My mom started rubbing his back in order to calm him down.

I looked around the room and saw Dave and Jake staring wide eyed at the drama that was unfolding in front of them and I swear I heard Dave mumbling something about needing popcorn.

“How is it possible that I’m Logan’s mate? I mean it’s impossible because I’m human. Wait…I am human right?” I asked looking around.

Luna Alexa looked at me with a kind smile gracing her face “Yes Nikki, your scent is that of a human we would know if you weren’t, as it’s almost impossible to mask a supernatural scent.” She stated softly.

I nodded and looked at Logan, he just pulled me tighter to his side and didn’t say a word.

Yes I’ve always secretly wished that I would be Logan’s mate I mean we’ve been best friends for twelve years, it was only natural that I caught feelings for him but I knew that it was impossible for anything to happen between us because well he had a mate out there, now that I happened to be that mate I was terrified.

“Just because werewolves have never had human mates before doesn’t mean it isn’t possible.” Jake said in a matter of fact tone.

Dave nodded, “Yeah, we once watched this movie about these group of guys sky diving with cars, I mean hell if that’s possible anything is.”

“This isn’t Fast and Furious you idiot.” Jake replied hitting Dave at the back of his head.

Everyone just ignored the two as they went back and fourth.

“You have to turn her” Alpha Mason said looking at Logan. “If the council finds out about this they’re going to ask questions none of us have answers to and could possibly take Nicole away.”

Logan tightens his hold on me and said in a dark tone “No one is going to take my Nicole away from me.” Of course my stomach filled with butterflies when he referred to me as his Nicole.

His dad nodded and said “The next full moon is in two days, you’ll change her then.” He walked over to Mason and patted his back in a proud manner then walked out of the room grinning.

Everyone else soon left too, my mom looking hesitant but left when I mouthed that I was fine. An awkward silence fell upon the room and minutes went by with neither Logan or I saying a word.

"So… Wanna watch a movid?” I asked after a few more minutes of awkward silence.

“Yeah, sure” he breathed out realising I didn’t want to talk about this whole mate thing because honestly I didn't know how it was possible or what to say.

Soon we curled up on the couch with beef jerky and string cheese and watched the movie.
