The Pack Mate

26

Violets face drains of color and Greyson's heart drops. He'd asked her about her wolf earlier and she put him off. What was wrong?

"I-I don't want to" Violet says,Greyson felt like that should have been the end of the conversation, she didn't want to, she didn't have to, but his father pressed on

"Why not?"

"It hurts" she looked to the ground. Greyson grabs his mates hand, something he immediately fell in love with. He understood how she felt, when he'd first began shifting it was the most painful thing imaginable.

"The more you shift the less it hurts" his father continues to try and coax her

"No" she says "I'm not shifting today."

"Alright. Then I guess I'll have to wait for the ceremony." The alpha says gruffly Again violets face was a pale white, she looked like she was going to be sick.

"Okay. Well I just came here to inform you of my discovery, we'll be leaving now." Greyson says trying to get her out of this uncomfortable situation.

"Yes, I'll have regular checkups on the two of you, and congratulations son" Greyson nods to his father turning away. Seeing his parents give eachother a grave look from the corner of his eye, he walks out of the large office

All he wants to do is take Violet to his room and take her as his, but with the mistakes he has made, he knows he can't do anything without her permission, which will unfortunately probably take a long while

"Well, I guess goodnight then" Violet says standing outside her doorless room.

"I'm going to see you tomorrow" Greyson tells her looking into her eyes

"I'm sure you will, but tomorrow is Emma's birthday and I'm definitely gonna be with her all day."

"Well I'll find the chance you see you." He kisses her cheek. "Goodnight love" Greyson whispers into her ear before going to his own room.

Violet comes down stairs the next morning and begin to make a bowl of cereal when Emma comes in bright smile on her face

"Date go well?" Violet asks taking a bite of her honeynut Cheerios

"Oh my goddess yes, we went to the classy ass restaurant and then went to this cliff side, and we just talked, and chilled and he was so sweet and I'm so happy" she smiles ear to ear

"You should be birthday girl!" Violet says

"Yeah, and tonight your going to have to cancel all your plans cause you're hanging out with me"

"Good thing I never had plans"

"You're coming to my room at six, bring whatever you want"

"Okay gotcha" violet nods " are you ready for the shift?"

"I would if it didn't involve me finding my mate after." Violet could relate

"You shouldn't worry I'm sure it will be Coal"

"That's what I'm worried about! I mean, he's never been a 'one girl guy'. I know he's made promises before but I don't know, I'm scared to trust him again"

"I think he's really changed Em, you could at least give him a second chance" she'd supposed everyone deserved a second chance
