Joining the Alpha's Pack

Chapter 13

    Peter thought about the kiss between him and Ara the whole drive over to the clinic. He didn't know why he'd done that. He wasn't usually the relationship type, always the perpetual bachelor. But there was something about Ara that he was drawn to. Sure she was incredibly beautiful but she was a vampire. Everything about them was made to draw you in. What he was feeling was something else entirely. He looked at Deaton's car behind him as he pulled into the parking lot. He was already leaning against the side of his car when they parked and watched Ara getting out of the car. Again he felt a pull to go over to her and kiss her again. Then another thought hit him. He was part vampire now. Her blood changed him permanently. He smiled as their eyes met.

Ara couldn't hear anything that Deaton was saying on the ride over to the clinic. She was too busy obsessing over Peter kissing her and how much she wished he hadn't stopped. She still was touching her lips, reliving the kiss when Deaton parked and they both got out. Almost instantly their eyes met. Peter smiled at her and she blushed. 'How am I going to deal with these feelings for Peter?' Ara thought to herself. ' How am I going to keep from kissing him again?' she thought again. So many thoughts were buzzing around in her head that she hadn't realized that she'd stopped walking until she felt Peter put his hand on the small of her back and she gasped. " I'm still thinking about it too." he teased with a smile as he ushered her inside.

Deaton didn't pay any mind to Ara and Peter as he got the dogs ready. He had used to hate Peter but lately, Peter had changed for the better. He'd started changing the moment he met his daughter and for that Deaton was glad. With Ara's ability to heal, she would be a target for Monroe and he didn't think Monroe would kill her. She would probably torture Ara and force her to heal Monroe's men. He was actually happy that Peter was showing an interest in Ara. Scott was an amazing alpha but Peter was very ruthless when needed and he would do everything, even kill to protect Ara. Deaton stood back as Peter and Ara walked in. The dogs calmed when they saw Ara. They knew instinctively that she would not hurt them. He watched Peter, watching Ara as she gathered the first dog to her lovingly. She pet the dog and when the dog closed its eyes, she moved the fur to the side and sank her fangs gently into its neck. Deaton was amused to see jealousy flare in Peter's eyes before he followed her lead and did the same.
