White Wolf’s Curse

TREYTON

I have waited all day to get this woman to talk to me. When she finally agreed this morning, I knew I wouldn’t be able to focus on anything else. I sucked at practice. Coach was not happy. I had been turning things around, but now my performance made the whole team suffer. I know I need to pull it together, but it is really difficult at the moment.

After a shower I head to the field and I really am hoping that she hasn’t ditched me. There she sits on the bleachers. She looks so fucking perfect. Her skin practically glows in that yellow dress that she is wearing. It’s that darker, fall colored yellow, but beautiful on her. I smile as I approach her. “You actually stayed. I was a little worried that you would ditch me.”

She chuckles. “Well, I thought about it. But it is best to face your challenges head on. Besides, you have no intention of dropping the subject, so it needs to be addressed.” Cass fiddles with her dress a little and I want to pull her into my arms, but I know I can’t at the moment.

I take a seat next to her. “For you, I will never give up.”

“Why? We are not compatible. All we have done is fight. Have misunderstandings. I don’t feel for you the same way that you feel for me.” It looks like this is really hard for her to say right now.

“I know. I just feel this pull for you that I can’t explain.” I cup her cheek with my hand. “Babe, you have to know how I feel. I don’t know how to explain this, but I think in two weeks everything will change. I can’t feel this much for you and not have it change.”

Her eyes flicker over mine. She is searching for something. “You’re one aren’t you?” Her voice is a soft whisper. I love it.

“Yes.” I know what she is asking. I have no problem answering her question. I would tell her anything.

She stands up abruptly. “Maybe I should find another ride home.”

“What?” I am confused as fuck right now. Why is she bailing on me right now? “Did I say something wrong? I mean you can’t hate our kind. You are one too.”

“I know I am. But you also know that means that I won’t know until my birthday. So if that is what you are waiting for then it is best to keep some distance for now.” She even steps away from me to make her point. I hate this distance from her. She needs to be here by my side.

“I can control myself. I’ll give you a ride home. I am not out of control.” I scoff. I am kind of pissed that she is shuffling away from me.

“That’s not it. Trey, what happens when I shift and you aren’t my mate? What then? I’ll tell you, you are going to hate me. You will resent me and take your anger out on me.”

“But what if you do? What if you smell me and I am the one?”

“Then I don’t have to worry about you being pissed.” She glares at me. I said the wrong thing.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

I sigh. “I’m not going to hate you. I will be very disappointed, but I am not going to hate you. I feel empty without you. I could never hate you.”

She waves her hands at me. “You say that now. But even at this second you are mad that I am stepping away from you. It will be much worse when I am not your mate.”

I growl, because she is right. It pisses me off that she isn’t in my arms. I have for the past month wanted nothing more. I am pining for a girl that keeps putting up this wall. A wall I have to keep pushing over, over and over again. “Cass, I can’t be apart from you. I can’t explain it, I just need you.”

“I like the attention I get from you. I’ll be honest, I like the way that you make me feel loved. But I don’t feel any pull towards you. I don’t want you to keep pushing for some girl that isn’t here for you.”

“Some people don’t feel the pull at all until their birthday. Some people have no clue until that day. I could still be your mate.”

I can see the tears starting to escape her eyes. “Why are you making this so difficult? Can’t you just accept this?”

“Never.” I growl and move towards her, scooping her up in my arms. Finally I start to feel calmer. Just having her near me makes it a little easier to breathe. I take in her scent and pull her even closer.

“Trey.” Her voice is quiet and calm. “Trey, put me down.”

“I can’t. Not yet.” I pull her body to mine.

“How about we make a deal?” Her voice is a little louder, but she still seems like she is picking her words carefully. She knows she set my wolf off and she doesn’t want to do it again.

“What kind of deal?”

“I will be by your side at school. No kissing. Or any other couple things, but I will be close. Until my birthday and we know for sure. I won’t cause a division between us.”

“On one condition.” I set her down, keeping her body close to mine. “I get one last kiss now.”

“One last kiss Trey. I mean it.” I don’t wait for her to change her mind. I take possession of her lips and relish in the feel of it. The sweet caress makes every one of my cells vibrate. I have to fight pulling her down to the ground right here. Her slender form in my arms is heaven. I do start pulling at her straps on her dress. Cass pulls away from me. “I think that’s enough.”

I groan. “You have no idea what you do to me.” I pant staring at her form. She has pushed away from me. I can see her whole body now. “I’ll drive you home.” I turn away from her. It takes all I have to fight this need to pull her body to mine. I want her, I don’t know how much more I can fight it. I am starting to feel like she is consuming my soul. She is all I think about, care about. How can she not be my mate?
