We have lunch with some wolves that are in the packhouse for the afternoon before heading to her house. I grabbed my school work before leaving and a change of clothes in preparation for staying the night.
Over the course of the next month, we fall into a pattern. We mostly stayed at her house, and while we never crossed her line, we took advantage of our time to explore each other’s bodies, learning what we like, what makes the other come. undone. It was a much more intimate time than I could have ever imagined. There was something about sex not being an option that almost made it more intimate. We touched and tasted every part of each other. We became intimately familiar with the other’s body. And let me tell you, my girl loves her brownies, and I don’t mean the kind my mother makes. Holy hell, the things that girl can do with her mouth.
It became common for us to be seen together everywhere. We went to training twice a day as usual. Now that Artemis was back at full strength, our sparring was even. She could pin me as often as I could pin her. We were always looking for new ways to take each other down. It was fun and exciting.
We did our homework together every day and I began to have Cara sit in on my meetings with my father, learning about the pack issues. She even started to take on some of the role of the Luna, although she didn’t realize that’s what she was doing. She is just a natural at it. She is so perfect.
And I made sure to take her on at least one date a week. Somewhere different every time. It wasn’t so much that we didn’t have alone time, it was more to show her how special she is to me and expose her to new things.
One night, after having dinner at the pack house, we raced home in our wolf form. Artemis and Kai had also become very close and spent a lot of time together, either traveling back and forth from the Nelson home to the packhouse or on the weekends, we would shift and let them run together.
When we arrived at the forest line surrounding her house, we shifted as we usually did. We began walking to her house when I caught the scent. She recognized it at the same time I did. I growled, but cut it off quickly. I had agreed to this, and I had to let it play out. We are only a couple of weeks away from Cara’s birthday and the decision is hers, but I can only hope that she chooses me. And honestly, it has been so long since we’ve seen him, that I had almost forgotten that he was even pursuing Cara.
“Liam.” She says as she starts walking toward him. Kai pushes forward and

snarls, grabbing her and pushing her behind me as I toss her a t–shirt. I may have agreed to let them spend time together, but I didn’t agree to it being with Cara naked.
He stands from where he had been sitting on the back porch, presumably waiting for us. He must smell my scent all around the house. I’ve been here every day for
a month.
Before she can walk away, I take her hand. “I’m going to go.” She starts shaking her head immediately.
“No, you can stay.”
I take my hand and cup her cheek. “No, I can’t. I know you want to catch up with him, but it isn’t smart to have two strong alphas in close proximity who want the same woman. You’re too close to your birthday. That’s a fight waiting to
happen.” She looks from me to Liam and back. I can see her indecision, so I make it easy for her. I kiss her nose and step back, nodding at Liam. “Call me later.” I say before heading back toward the packhouse.
