Marcy's POV
At first, I was nervous about my parents meeting James. I hadn't told them about our age difference, but after they met him in Alpha Black's office, they were just as excited as I was. I guess age didn't matter to them. I mean, my mom is over 300 years older than my dad. And it's not that uncommon for mates to be different ages.
After dinner, James and I spent some time alone in my room. We talked and held hands and even watched a movie together. It was nice, but I wanted more. I wanted to mate and mark him. I know he is trying to hold himself back. I can feel it. But I don't want him to. I have spent my whole life alone, and I was over it.
I may be younger than James, but I know what I want and I'm determined to get it. If he hasn't rejected me now, I don't think he will. I mean, why talk to me every day for 3 months and meet my parents if he was planning on rejecting me?
Maybe if you stop acting like a little kid excited to show off her room, he will mate us.
I am not a little kid! I was just excited.
You were literally pulling him to your room the way a child would.
I was not!
Keep telling yourself that. But if he rejects us because he doesn't want a child for a mate, I will never forgive you.
He won't reject us... Right?
Humph.
Maybe Gaia was right? Maybe I was just getting overly excited and acting childish. But what am I supposed to do? I've never had a boyfriend before. And I didn't have any friends with boyfriends. Not even at school. I really don't know if the couples I saw were really couples or if they were just drunk flings.
I spent a good hour doing my hair and another hour doing my make-up. Since James left last night, I have nothing but energy. I could blame it on my vampire side, I could stay up for days without feeling fatigue. But the truth was, I was just way too excited to spend the day with James.
I put on my sexiest outfit I could find, which wasn't much. Since it was autumn, it was colder, making my choices smaller. I didn't really feel the effects of the weather. That was the perk of being part vampire. I never get cold and I never get hot. But since I was also part wolf, I was warm to the touch, and wasn't pale like the other vampires.
I still dressed for the weather. That way I wouldn't stand out so much. I put on a black turtleneck crop with my favorite black leather mini skirt and black thigh-high boots. Then I threw on my long brown teddy coat to "keep me warm" and tied the outfit together.
Thanks to Gaia, my C cup boobs are now a nice looking DD cup. My flat stomach was now toned. My long hair was silky and shiny and my smooth skin now glowed.
Your skin glowing has nothing to do with me. You're just always thinking about our mate and it makes you glow.
Whatever the reason was. I liked it. And if James made me this happy all the time, I couldn't care less about literally anything else. I would do anything for him. He was Goddess sent. I hummed as I did my hair. I let some curly strands frame my face and did a half up half down hairstyle.
I checked the time and saw that I still had half an hour to spare before James picked me up. Maybe I should surprise him and jump to his place. That would save time and I could see him longer.
Ooh and maybe he can take us for icecream, Gaia said sarcastically.
I rolled my eyes and decided to call James. I could jump to him, just by thinking about him. But I haven't mastered not crashing into something. I wouldn't mind crashing into him though. Maybe I can use it as an excuse to kiss him and maybe even mate him. Just the thought of mating with Jame and marking him got me wet.
Can I at least meet his wolf first? I don't even know his name. You're being selfish.
Fine. But I will make James see me as a woman and not a kid. I will mate with him.
I am all for that. Oh and maybe we can try that thing we saw in that porn you were watching last week. It looks fun.
We are definitely trying that. I giggled before dialing James' number.
"Hey, I was just getting ready to pick you up. Do you need more time to get ready?" he asked. Goddess he was so thoughtful.
"Nope. Are you at home?" I asked, hoping he says yes.
"Yeah, I haven't left yet."
"Good. Anything near you that can break?" I didn't want to hurt either of us or ruin anything when I surprised him.
"No?" I could hear the confusion in his voice, but I smiled anyway.
"Perfect," I said, hanging up the phone. Bracing myself for impact, I thought of James and jumped.
Just like I thought, I crash-landed right on top of James, knocking him to the ground and falling on top of him. I couldn't hold back anymore and my impulsion to mate took over. I crashed my lips to his before he even had the chance to know what hit him.
I know he realized it was me because he wrapped his hands around my waist and pulled me closer, deepening the kiss. Butterflies went crazy in my stomach and I felt his desire was just as strong as mine. I needed him and he needed me too. Warmth and tingles spread throughout my body as my arousal intensified.
Gaia was howling in my head and nagging me to let her meet James's wolf before mating. I didn't care, and I knew I was being selfish. But I spent my whole life lonely, and now I finally have someone to spend my life with. I kissed James with desperate need until my lungs burned, and I needed to breathe.
I stared down at James's beautiful face with the biggest smile. That may have been my first kiss, but it was definitely the best kiss ever. I wanted to kiss him again and mate him, but Gaia would not shut up.
"Gaia wants to meet your wolf" I said, finally getting her to shut up.
"Right now?" he asked, with a smile.
"She won't leave me alone about it. Says it's not fair that I get to spend time with you but she hasn't met your wolf yet." I chuckled, now Gaia was the one acting like a child in a candy shop.
"Onyx. And he is very eager to meet Gaia," he said.
I got off him and let him up. He turned around and started stripping off his clothes before quickly shifting into Onyx. Gaia was annoyed since I had not allowed her to shift yet. As I undressed, I thought of something. Maybe I could get James to want to mate me if he saw me naked?
"Onyx, turn around," I said softly. He instantly turned around and started growling when he saw me naked. It sounded more like a purr to me. And by the way his tongue was hanging out and how fast his tail was wagging, I assumed he liked what he saw. And so did I.
Onyx lived up to his name. His fur was jet black, so were his eyes. He was massive, and if it were dark, you would not be able to see him stalking you. Most people would probably fear him. But to me, he was downright beautiful. Or I guess I should say handsome. After a moment, I finally gave into Gaia and shifted. It was much faster than last time and painless.
After shifting, I saw a slight reflection of us in Onyx's black eyes. Was I glowing green? When we first shifted, it was in the forest, and we didn't stop at any streams, so I could see my reflection. I looked around and found a large mirror in the bathroom. I was right. We were glowing green.
My fur was snow-white and I had black paws. There was a green hue around me that glowed when the light hit it at the right angle. And my eyes were the same green as when I was in human form. Or maybe they were slightly brighter, and slightly deeper. Like an emerald. I had never seen anything like it before.
And you never will. We are special. Gaia said proudly.
Really? How? I asked, as I admired our coat.
You will find out in due time. For now, let me have some fun with Onyx.
You better not mate him. I've been waiting 18 years. You've been waiting only 3 months. I get first dibs at mating.
Yeah. Yeah. Whatever. Gaia said before pushing me to the back of her mind.

I don't know how long it was before Gaia finally gave me back control, but it felt like forever. She had completely blocked me out, so I couldn't even see what she was doing. It wasn't too bad though. For once, being alone wasn't lonely. I knew that when Gaia gave me back control, James would be waiting.
When she was finally ready, we shifted back. I looked around and saw we were still in James's place. Though it was a mess. James shifted back after me and quickly threw on some shorts and handed me a blanket to wrap around myself. Gaia and Onxy trashed the place. Including our outfits.
What the hell did you guys do? I asked Gaia.
We had a little fun. Was all Gaia would tell me before retreating to the back of my mind.
"Um, sorry about this. I didn't think Gaia would make such a mess," I told James as he seemed to be having a talk with Onyx.
"Don't worry about it. They were just excited about meeting. Though they took the whole day," James said.
"I know. I was looking forward to our date. I thought I would get to spend the whole day with you." I said, annoyed at Gaia.
"We can always try again tomorrow?" James said as he wrapped his arms around me and kissed my head.
"I thought you had work?" I asked, looking up into his beautiful chocolate eyes.
"I took the week off." He smiled back at me. "But I should probably get you home before your mom kills me," he says.
"Mom? Shouldn't you be worried about my dad?" I laughed.
"You would think. But something gives me the feeling that your Mom is the one who would hunt me down and kill me if I ever upset you."
" You're probably right." I chuckled. She would definitely hunt him down before my dad would.
"Um... We should probably put some clothes on you before we get you home."
"Or..." I said as seductively as I could, dropping the blanket and exposing my naked body. "I could spend the night. I am a big girl, you know."
