I'm left speechless, he pretty much came in here, telling me I have no choice in the matter. That come morning I will be his wife, that he will take care of my father, and him and his friends will go to war if it comes to that because of my actions tonight. I am so flabbergasted with everything I find it hard to close my mouth from the utter shock.

"So, it looks like come tomorrow night, you will no longer be a virgin." I would like to say I'm stunned by what my best friend just said, but nothing with Claudette surprises me when it comes to talking about sex. I turn to face her, giving her my most stern look, I tap my foot at her. I'm going for intimidation, but she blatantly rolls her eyes at me, walks to me, wrapping her arm around mine and walks us to the bed.

"Well, I think now is the perfect time to talk about protection." She releases my arm, pulling me down on the bed with her. I see she's looking around the room, I'm confused what she's looking for until her eyes land on her small purse. "Oh there it is." She says with glee, as she walks to the side table, opens the little purse of hers, and dumps its contents onto the bed. I shouldn't be surprised that she has enough condoms for an orgy. When I look up at her with a raised brow, she simply shrugs her shoulders at me. "Can never be too careful."

She hands me one with a giggle, as she lays on the bed next to me. "Want me to show you how to use it?" I can feel my cheeks turn a deep shade of red as she laughs her ass off at my expense. "I'm sure I can figure it out thanks though." I roll my eyes at her and place the offending thing to the side.

When she sees the seriousness of my face, she sobers up rather quickly. "Hey, honey I'm only joking. I don't even know how it works in the werewolf world." She sits up beside me and wraps her arm around my shoulders. "I'm just trying to make you laugh, get rid of some of the tension of this situation we have found ourselves in tonight."

I sniffle, rubbing my nose along my long sleeve of the shirt I had changed into earlier. "I know what you mean. This night has taken quite a turn from what I expected." I can feel her nodding her head where she lays it against my shoulder. "That's for sure." She gathers my hand in hers, folding our fingers together. We sit in the silence of the room, both thinking of what is to come tomorrow.

"Listen to me Pen, no matter what we will stand together through what's to come." She squeezes my hand making sure she has my attention. "Forever and a day." I whisper to her. "Yeah, forever and a day. We will be with one another until the end of our days. Whether that is within the next couple of weeks, years, or a hundred years from now." Her promising words bring joy to my heart. I feel much better than I have the last few hours.

"So can I ask you something?" I bite my bottom lip. Wondering if she will laugh and play along once I ask, or if she will be angry at my words. "You just did, but I'll answer another one for sure." She lifts her head up to look at me.

I turn my body so it's facing her. Hoping she will see the fact I'm not too serious. "What was going on with you and Matty earlier?" I lift my eyebrows up and down at her, causing her cheeks to turn a shade of red for once. "Whoa, whoa wait a minute. Do you like him?" I'm flabbergasted. My friend that hasn't ever believed in love, or the fact that there is one person for everyone actually likes a guy.

"Shut up!" She waves her hand in the air. "I'm not certain what I feel. I just know since my body has begun these changes tonight, when I'm around him I get this strange feeling in the entirety of my body." She bites her bottom lip and refuses to look at me. My best friend is actually embarrassed once in her life.

"It's only going to get worse. As time goes on your hormones and everything else within you will heighten to an extreme." I warn her. She looks up at me with wide eyes. "Are you saying that I'm going to be even more horny then I have ever been." I nod at her with a shrug of my shoulders. "Pretty much. Everything is heightened by like a thousand when you are a werewolf, and it will only become worse after your first change."

"I think I need to take a shower and think about all of this." I point to the door that leads to the bathroom. When she disappears into the room, I take off my pants, and lay beneath the blankets wearing only my tank top and bikini underwear. Once I hear the sound of the water turn on, I keep an eye on the door as my hand slowly makes its way down to where I need it the most.

Feeling the gust of my undies, with how wet they seem to be, I know I really need a release if I'm going to sleep at all tonight. I close my eyes, and bring my fingers underneath the material, once I make skin on skin contact, I shiver with the knowledge that I'm going to do something I haven't done in months. Not since I had that sex dream about Zane pulling me below him on the ground and thrusting his hips against my most precious place in my body.

With that thought, I begin rubbing little circles along my clit, trying my best to hold back the noises that wish to fall from my mouth. I can't be too loud, being in a house full of werewolf hearing. I bite my bottom lip, as my legs begin to shake as I speed up my actions. I'm right at the precipice of finishing, when a low growl hits my ears causing my eyes to pop open.

Standing at the end of my bed, is Zane, his nostrils are flaring so hard I can see them move. His eyes are a deep shade of gold, and his hands are made into fists at his sides. I let out a silent scream, as my hand lifts from between my legs, and I bring them up, holding the blanket just below my eyes.

The animosity coming off his body in waves, is both scary and exciting. I have to swallow down my fear, as I shiver with anticipation. He looks to the closed bathroom door, to the wide-open bedroom door where his friend Ethan stands, and nods his head at him. With a shake of his head and a small laugh Ethan closes the bedroom door.

I watch with wide eyes, as Zane makes his way around the bed. I watch the swag of his hips, as he shakes his head, and tsks me below his breath. "Oh, little wolf, what did I tell you about touching what is mine?" He looks down at me with a hunger in his eyes, that is going to make me combust.
