That night, after spending hours trying to find just the right outfit and doing my hair and makeup, I waited anxiously for Blane. He had texted me earlier to let me know he would collect me from my room at 7. I was nervous, and starting to sweat a little. I hope he doesn’t notice.
Five minutes later there’s a knock on the door, taking a deep breath, I open the door to Blane grinning at me. I blush as he eyes me up and down, I can practically feel everywhere his eyes land. “You look beautiful.”
My blush deepens, “Thank you,” I murmur, feeling suddenly shy around him.
He holds out his hand to me, “Are you ready to go?”
I lace my fingers through his letting him pull me along through the pack house with him. “Where are we even going?”
“I’m not going to spoil any surprises, but I do have a few things planned”, he looks nervous now, “I’ve never really been on a date before either, I hope you like it.”
I’m stunned by his confession, I would have thought he would have dated plenty, but I suppose most she wolfs don’t exactly need the romance, especially the ones in this pack. Some of the females in this pack hop from bed to bed like they’re playing musical chairs. I look back up at him, “Well lucky for you I don’t have anything to compare it to, so either way it will be the best date of my life.”
He grins down at me, “Lucky for me indeed. Let’s go.”
We walk down the road towards town hand in hand in a comfortable silence, one of the best things about Blane is that he isn’t one of those people that feel the need to fill every silence with mindless chatter, he just lets the silence exist and it’s never awkward between us. I enjoy the feeling of his hand wrapped around mine, his hands are warm and rough, and huge compared to mine. Looking down at our hands I almost laugh, he makes my hands look like they belong to a child.
Blane comes to a stop in front of a small restaurant in the village square, it’s a small Italian bistro. It’s not too busy but there are a few people coming in and out, and the smells drifting out the door are making my mouth water.
“Ladies first.” Blane holds the door open for me. As we walk through the door Blane nods at the wolf that runs the place and walks straight back to a table in a private corner of the restaurant, pulling out my chair for me and gesturing for me to sit before he settles himself opposite me.
Seeing my puzzled expression he explains that this is one of his favorite places to eat, and as the pack Alpha and a frequent customer, he has a private table here that is always reserved for him should he need it. Usually he uses it for meeting with other pack Alphas when they have to meet.
A waiter comes to our table a few minutes later, Blane indicates that I should order first and after browsing the menu I decide on the Alla Vincenzo and Blane orders Bronzino and a bottle of wine. We chat for a bit before the waiter comes back with a bottle and leaves it on the table after Blane nods in approval, the waiter leaves and Blane pours wine into both of our glasses.
The food comes quickly and tastes amazing, Blane and I talk and laugh feeling a little giddy from the wine, at least I am, enjoying each others company while we eat, and feeding each other small bites of our food so we can both try everything. I think this date is definitely off to a good start.
Later that night
Tonight had been the best night of my life, and despite joking about it, it really was the best date ever. After dinner Blane had taken me to see a movie, some romantic comedy that I really don’t remember much about, I was too distracted. He had been a gentleman all night, but the problem was that the more time I spend with him the more I want him. The bond between us makes every small touch feel so much more intense, so while he was tracing circles on my hand during the movie it had felt like an electric current running straight to my core. Hence the distraction.
Even now laying in bed, I kept replaying the end of the night when we had dropped me back off at my room and leaned down to kiss me goodnight. I had a very visceral reaction and had responded with such enthusiasm it was like I was trying to weld our bodies together. I’d had to put real effort in to ending that kiss, extracting myself and breathing heavily, and Blane had smirked at me. Telling me goodnight and walking away. In theory it was what I had wanted, I had made the demands for no sex, and nothing sexual. I was kind of starting to regret it.
It’s not that I really think I’m ready for sex, but maybe some experimenting wouldn’t be so bad. My wolf is firmly in agreement, although if she was running the show, she would already been on all fours practically begging to be mounted. Which is amusing because I know for a fact that when the time finally comes, she will not just be taken. She wants him to fight for control, to prove his dominance in the bedroom. She won’t take it easy on him and she won’t let me either.
I sigh, picking up my phone I decide to get back on my social media accounts, and begin scrolling through my page and come across a post from Victoria, I’d been so busy with everything and so preoccupied with adjusting to my new life that I had practically forgotten about my old life and everyone in it. Which doesn’t actually amount to much, but I feel bad for not reaching out to Victoria and Declan. Especially now since Victoria’s post is about me. As far as they are concerned, I’m missing.
I pull of the messaging app and write her, explaining that I’m safe and that something really crazy happened and I had to leave town. I apologize for not reaching out sooner, everything has just been so hectic. I send the message to her and she replies almost immediately.
Victoria: Where the hell have you been!? Declan and I have been looking for you for over a week, no one knew what happened to you. You were just gone
Me: I’m really sorry, I should have reached out sooner to let you guys know that I’m okay. It’s just been really hectic, and so much has happened that you wouldn’t even believe, I really am okay though. You’re gonna die about this but basically I met a guy and moved to Canada.
Victoria: What the actual fuck? You don’t even know any guys. Where at in Canada? Declan and I are coming to get you.
After a lot of back and forth and texting Blane to explain the situation, I finally sent Victoria my location, I just hoped that when they got here I could explain that I can’t leave with them. This is my home now.
