Me and Mariah were walking back to our table, her small hand was on my arm and my wolf purred in content.

I loved how worried she got when Damien said I was sick. Obviously I wasn't.

My body temperature was higher because I was a werewolf and my "coughing" was my growling.

I knew our bond was strong with the way my whole body itched to touch her. She sat down in a chair and I sat right next to her, subtly pulling my chair closer.

All my friends sat around us in pairs.

"Who is everyone?" My sweet mate asked in a silky tone. I almost melted.

"This is Damien and his ma- girlfriend, Bryli. Then there's Ethan and his girlfriend Selena. And lastly That's Nate and his girlfriend Rylin." I pointed to each in return.

All the sudden Miriah looked upset. "What's wrong!?" I asked urgently.

"Oh nothing Ry" She told me. Waving it off.

"Ry?" I asked a small smirk on my face. She tensed up and turned to me. When she saw my grin her face turned an adorable shade of pink.

"Well, you call me Mar so I thought I would call you Ry, but if you hate it I can not ca-"

I cut off her rant by grabbing her tiny hand. "I love it" I reassured my mate, a goofy smile on my lips.

She chuckled then purred. "Okay then...Ry" Then she winked!

SHE WINKED AT ME! SHE WAS FLIRTING WITH ME!

I leaned close to her ear and whispered.

"Okay Mar" I felt her shudder as my breath hit her ear. Then, as if snapping out a trance, she looked at everyone else.

"Do they not care?" She asked me. Everyone was talking to each other, giving me and Mariah a moment.

"Nah" I told her. Mates flirting was a normal thing in the food court. I saw Mariah staring intently at Nate who had Rylin on his lap.

"Whatcha looking at?" I teased her. She looked back at me and her hazel eyes widened.

"N-nothing" Mariah stuttered.

I moved my chair out so I was facing her and patted my leg, suggestively. It took her a few seconds but as soon as she did she squeaked. Literally squeaked and shook her head.

She was innocent and adorable. I knew she was really innocent because she was a virgin. A Male werewolf could tell if/and how many guys their mates had been with.

Mine was as white as the snow. Luca growled knowing we were going to be her first.

I was alittle disappointed that she didn't want to sit with me but that wasn't normal for her.

So we went back to eating. A couple minutes I saw Mariah shiver.

"Hey, you okay?" I asked her worried.

"Yah, I just don't do well with the cold. It's insane, you guys are all like radiating body heat"

She put on a soothing smile but I could see her shake slightly. Immediately jumping up she flinched.

Ignoring it, because my mate was in trouble. I grabbed her hand and walked her to my locker.

"Ry? Where are we going?" She asked as soon as we got to my locker. I put in the code and pulled out my sweatshirt.

Then I held it out for her. "Here" I said gesturing to it. Her eyes widened and then she chuckled.

"Hun, I already have a hoodie on." That made me frown. I wanted her in mine. For my scent to be on her.

She noticed my frown and sighed. Then held out her hand. I beamed and handed it to her.

We walked to the girls washroom and Mariah came out wearing my hoodie, that went to her knees.

She's so fucking tiny. It's adorable. I smiled and held my hand out. She slowly slipped her's in and I was at with the sweet pleasurable tingles that shot throughout my body.

We walked back to the cafeteria and to my table. When we sat back down. Everyone stared at me then Mariah's new clothing.

They could definitely smell me on her.

"You trying to temporarily mark her?"

Rylin asked over mind-link.

"She was cold"

I defended myself.

"Oh yah"

"Sure"

"Okay"

"Yah right"

"She was already in a hoodie"

"Whatever Ryder"

Were all the replies from my friends. I cut off the link and looked back at my mate. Her locks of hairs tumbled down the back of my navy sweatshirt and I had to suppress a growl of satisfaction, smelling and seeing her claimed as mine.

"So you up for any fun?" Selena asked Mariah. My mate looked at the girl suspiciously before saying

"What kind of fun?" Selena rolled her eyes.

"Like going over to Ryder's house for a big movie night!" I knew she meant our house.

The Alpha mansion was for the Alpha, Luna, their family and the retired Alpha and Luna's. Since my whole family died I let the 6 move in.

Now we all live in the same house about a 5 minute walk from the pack house.

"Yah! Mariah you have to come! That would be so fun!" Bryli adds. I see Rylin nod against Nate's chest.

I see Mariah glance over to a table across the room. When I look over I see a table of the human populars.

Two identical twins with blonde hair and WAY to much makeup on wave and flirt when they see me look their way.

I see them look to my left and glare. Out of my peripheral vision I see my mate flinch. Why?

"Um sure? When?" Mar asks.

"What about at the end of the week?" Damien suggests. I see Ethan and Nate nod in agreement.

"Okay" Mariah says. I feel the excitement build up at the thought of my mate at her future house.

Now I just have to wait.
