Felix sat at the booth that he had been occupying at the Café for the last week, excluding the last two days. He had been buried knee deep is piles of paperwork, trying to find out Destiny's origin and who her parents are. He had also been trying to figure out what and who had been following her, other than himself and his wolf. He had his best trackers on the job of finding the foul creature, with no luck. They had tracked nearly every single lead they could, and every time, the scent trail would disappear.
A woman walked up and roused Felix out of his thoughts, "Hello good looking, my name is Rebecca, can I get you something to drink?" the lady's words were kind and smooth, however something smelled odd about her. She looked to be in her mid-twenties, her fire-like hair rested in a ponytail while the ends flowed down her shoulders and chest. Her lips matched her blazing mane, Rebecca's waist was slim, while her bust resembled boulders. Truly a living version of Jessica Rabbit.
"No, thanks. Can you tell me when Destiny is supposed to be in to work?" As Felix spoke Rebecca made herself comfortable by setting her hands on the table, turning her already exposed breasts, into a display case.
"Destiny won't be in for another.. Hmmm I'd say 30 minutes maybe, but I can serve you at least something to drink until she gets here?" Her words seemed to manifest into a metaphorical snake, slithering from the corner of her mouth and stalking its prey. Felix's wolf growled, angry that this, the thing was trying to replace their mate. They could smell her hormones and arousal, and it only spurred his wolf's rage. Revolted, Felix felt he could throw up at a moment notice.
Sighing, re-gaining control of his gag reflex, Felix pinched the bridge of his nose. As he spoke, his words squeezed through gritted teeth, "Nope, Miss Rebecca, I'm perfectly fine with waiting for Destiny, thanks." Felix felt thankful that she looked defeated, and turned away. He had been growing tired of this woman quickly.
As Rebecca walked off, Felix's mind was filled with barking, yipping, and howling, affecting his ability to think straight. His wolf was in pure ecstasy, his tail swishing back and forth. "What is it now?' Felix growled internally. His wolf was like his annoying brother, sometimes he helped a lot and sometimes, he just acted instead of thought. His question was answered through an out-of-control river of emotions: lust, pleasure, and desire. The emotions suffocated Felix. Fragmented images popped through his head, all of Destiny.
Curious, Felix decided to attempt to reach through the bond. He knew it would likely fail, considering they didn't share a full bond connection. Destiny and Felix would have to go through with a Marking Ritual in order to achieve the full bond. He mentally reached out, focusing on her mind and the emotions flowing out through intentional holes in a theoretical dam. Immense pleasure flowed through threatening to crumble its wall into a pile of dust.
His mind was swimming in a sea of emotions. And then, all of the sudden the sea dried up into a bear desert. Felix took deep breaths in trying to gather and organize his thoughts. He reeled back, trying to understand what happened. His wolf whimpered sadly. When his senses finally returned, he could hear a robotic version of Destiny's voice. 'She must be on the phone,' Felix thought to himself. She sounded slightly out of breath, and annoyed. Felix chuckled to himself, she had to have been in the midst of some 'private time' considering the amount of pleasure that had been gushing through their bond. 'I would've been irritated too'.
Felix retracted, not wanting to intrude any further on a conversation he wasn't invited into. Instead, he thought about Destiny and her recent 'adventure', he thought about how he would enjoy pleasing his delicate mate. Felix imagined how she would come to accept his pack, how she would possibly accept her role and status, and whether or not she would choose to be changed into a wolf if she wasn't one already. Felix hoped so, for the sake of everything, if she was already a wolf, her instincts would come naturally through guidance by her own wolf, or advice from Felix and his.
Around fifteen minutes later, the door to the Café opened, the pattern of footsteps resembled Destiny's and immediately, Felix's wolf started going crazy. But Felix didn't physically act upon his awareness because Destiny's footsteps got lighter, indicating she was attempting, and failing to sneak up on him. He heard every footfall, the swoosh every hair made on her back, and more importantly, her heartbeat racing with anticipation.
There was a slight intake of breath and what followed was Destiny bursting at the seams "Hi there stranger!" she laughed after, holding a palm to her flat stomach. Felix hoped that one day, her stomach wouldn't be flat, he hoped that it would be round with their pups, and she would be accepting of his pack. Soon to be their pack.
Destiny smiled, "One cup of coffee coming right up! Let me clock in first!" she waved a hand and walked away, towards the back of the store, leaving his wolf to whimper sadly, and Felix to assure his wolf that their mate would be back.
¬"umm sure.." Destiny vaguely answered Felix's question about going with him to the bar. Her body went rigid, and seemed to be uncomfortable. Felix sole a glance at Destiny, after he finished the last sip of coffee in his cup. She had taken her hair down a few moments prior, it's gentle waves cascaded down her shoulders and chest, the tips teasing the table. She had her head down, visibly nervous.
Felix reached over and laid a calloused hand over her fragile fingers, "Destiny, you don't have to come with me if you're uncomfortable. I want to get to know you He faked surprise, jumping slightly to assure validity. He smiled brightly at his mate "Jesus! Destiny did you have to scare me like that? If I had coffee in my hand, it would be all over me!" Felix laughed along with his mate, he enjoyed her company. He also enjoyed her laugh, a melody, a song played just for him.
, I don't want to scare you off. If it makes you more comfortable, then we can go only as fast as you want to, and I will back off" He saw Destiny's shoulders relax, as she let a held breath escape.
