Tyree-
'Oh my god this hot piece of perfection is my mate. When I imagined what was going to happen when the Andretti pack arrived this defiantly wasn't it.' I thought as we walked quietly hand in hand deeper into the woods away from listening ears.
When we reached an empty clearing he stopped and turned toward me his eyes boring into me. I tried to fight my wolf's growl of satisfaction as he looked over my tall frame. He still hadn't let go of my hand instead using it to anchor me closer in to him. Before I realized what I was doing my lips were pressed against his our minds connecting instantly.
He wrapped his arms around me pulling me in even closer leaving no space between us. My hands fisted in his shirt anchoring myself as my knees went weak. Every kiss, every touch I have ever had was erased in that one moment with him. Our tongues ran across each other's before I pulled back nipping at his full bottom lip. His wolf apparently liked my roughness because he growled moving one of his hands from my waist to my shoulder length blonde hair.
My hands went to his neck squeezing his shoulders trying to pull myself closer to him. My wolf fought for control as my nails grew in length digging into his flesh. He ripped his mouth away from mine and let out an ear piercing howl before moving his lips to my neck biting down hard but not hard enough to draw blood. I moaned out loud and felt the area between my thighs get damp at his alpha behavior. He nipped at my lips one more time before pulling away.
I put my hand against my swollen lips and stared into his wolf's icy blue eyes. As they returned to normal a low growl rumbled through him as he breathed in deep, "we need to go speak to the alphas. Immediately." he said his deep voice sending shivers down my spine. He grabbed my hand and we started walking back out of the clearing toward the compound when I stopped suddenly.
He turned and gave me a questioning look "we just... and we're... and I don't even know your name." I stuttered blushing beet red.
My mystery man just chuckled "I'm Blaze Andretti, the future right hand beta of the Andretti pack. But you, love, can call me mate."
Avani-
After showing Aimee to her families set of rooms I wondered around the compound until I ended up back at the main house. As soon as I walked up the stairs I felt Trace come up behind me before I heard or smelled him "hey Vonni you mind showing me to my room? I know your father said my family would be staying in this house with you guys," he asked.
"Its Ava or Avani," I snapped at him causing his eyebrow to raise. "And yes I can take you to your rooms." I said in a slightly nicer tone.
I turn and jog up the short flight of stairs. I hear him stomping up the stairs behind me and without stopping I call over my shoulder "I think our fathers are in the conference room. I have to ask my dad where your room is." I head for the double doors to the left and wave Trace in ahead of me. Sure enough my father, alpha Andretti, Claire, Blaze and Tyree were all seated around the giant oval table in the center of the room.
"Good we don't have to come find you two later to tell you the good news." Alpha Andretti commented with a huge smile on his face.
"What's going on?" Trace's deep voice rang out in my ear. He unconsciously put his hand on my lower back just above my butt and the electric feel of his touch combined with his voice and his scent had my body on over drive. I just prayed that I could stay calm so that the others wouldn't scent my arousal.
"It seems that us coming early held more blessings from the greats above than we originally thought. Your brother found his life mate," alpha Andretti gestured to Blaze and Tyree who was blushing profoundly.
I ran over to my best friend and pulled her into a huge hug "oh my Luna Ty I'm so happy for you!" I said genuinely even if deep inside I felt an inkling of jealousy.
"Thanks Ava," she said her smile threating to split her pretty face in two.
"Avani," Claire called my name drawing my attention back to the pack leaders in the room. "We know that this weekend was going to be about you but we were wondering..." she asked glancing at Tyree and Blaze.
"Of course. We can kill two birds with one stone. I would love to share my wedding day with my best friend." I smile brightly at the woman I consider to be a 2nd mother.
"Perfect! We have to contact the elders and let them know of the change in plans," my father said to no one in particular. "We will have to re-work the sleeping arrangements now. Tyree don't forget to go share the good news with your parents." he continued.
"Speaking of sleeping arrangements daddy, where are Trace's rooms?" I asked.
"We figured it would take some time for you guys to get used to each other again so his rooms are the ones right across from yours." my dad said fleetingly not really glancing at me.
I fought the urge to roll my eyes and muttered under my breath "of course they are," I didn't even bother to say anything else I just turned and walked silently toward the door before turning to address Trace. "Are you coming?" I asked trying to keep my eyes strictly on his face, 'how the hell am I supposed to sleep now knowing that him and that sexy body is lying right across the hall from me?' I thought to myself as Trace began to walk toward me.
I walked out the door and quickly made my way up the stairs. I could hear his footsteps echoing behind me as I turned to the right down the hall toward my room. I stopped in front of the door right across from mine. "These are your rooms I guess for the time being. Or at least for the week." I say nervously waiting on him to open the door. Instead he just continued you to stare at me with those piercing blue eyes and I once again found myself trying not to become a puddle of mush at the man's feet.
"Okay... well I'll just leave you alone to... get settled in. If you need anything I'll be across the hall." I stuttered out backing away toward my door. Trace's hand shot out and grabbed hold of my wrist pulling me toward his body. Before I could say anything he dragged me into his room and shut the door pressing me up against it. I glanced up at him questioningly.
"Yeah I need something. I need to know why you don't like me." he said his eyes darkening as he stood pressed against me.
"Wha...what do you mean why I don't like you Trace? I like you just fine. I could ask you the same thing? Why don't you like me?"
Trace-
'I must be losing my mind.' I thought as I stared down into her hazel eyes. Watching her hips sway as she walked up the stairs with attitude after the episode in the conference room she had my cock harder than it had ever been before. She had to feel it pressed up against her slightly rounded tummy.
My wolf beat against my mind trying to force his way out to get to her, to taste her. I decided to appease both of our desires and instead of answering her question I wrapped my hand in her hair pulling slightly to tip her head back. Her eyes dilated and the smell of her arousal got stronger than it was when I was standing next to her in the conference room. "What are you doing?" she whispered her breathing coming in rapid little pants.
"This," I answered back before I leaned down and took her plump lips with my own. The hands that were in between us trying to push me back instead ended up curling into my shirt. I let go of her wrist and wrapped my arms around her waist my big hands grabbing her ass and squeezing the cheeks hard enough to leave bruises.
