Chapter-0342

“You are going to make an excellent Luna one day.” He huffs and rubs his face. “But will enjoy your time as long as I have your attention.” He finally smiled his charming smile at me and I gave him a small one in return.

“I am nobody’s Luna. I’m an advocate for my pack, even a fighter, but I couldn’t handle the politics and the backstabbing that comes with being a leader.” grimace and stick out my tongue at the thought. ‘That is why you will be a great Luna. You’re not looking for the title.” He grabs my hand and kisses my knuckles softly and we continue walking like that for a while until we come up to the coffee shop I work for “I believe this is where I leave you.” He’s still holding my hand even as he takes a step away from me.

“How did you know I have to work today?” I raise an eyebrow, but smile.

“I might have been keeping an eye on you from a distance when you stopped talking to me and you always work the afternoon shift on Tuesdays.” He tries and fails to look at me. “So you have been following me? I thought I caught your scent a couple of times.”

“You seem to be a hard person to let go of. I can’t explain it, but I want to be near you but I also know it’s not a mate thing.”

“How do you know it isn’t a mate thing?’ I ask playfully.

“I already told you that you are going to make a great Luna someday, that means you will be with some great Alpha… and I already found my mate..” He trails off and looks at the ground. “What?! Why didn’t you say anything?”

“It wasn’t the right time. It’s never the right time, but I wil explain that on our next date.” He smiles at me and winks. “When will that be exactly?” I tilt my head.

“Tomorrow?” He says, like a question. “Can I take you to lunch in between classes? I know you have a full day and then I would like to take you to the run on Thursday. It’s not the same without someone to actually chase.

“I guess I can handle lunch. We’ll see from there.” He nods just ooking at me still holding my hand ike he can’t let go.

I make a split decision that is either going to be great or a total disaster. I step forward, wrapping my arms around his waist and tucking my head to his chest. He doesn’t even hesitate to wrap me up in a tight hug. I can feel him press his lips to the top of my head and take a deep breath in then kiss my hair before he lets go.

“I’ll see you tomorrow Sky.”

I nod “Tomorrow.”

He doesn’t wait an hour before he starts to text me.

Tyler Hot Ecology Guy: Thank you for today.

Tyler Hot Ecology Guy: I have missed you.

Me: I just needed time. Still do

Me: Thanks for being patient.

Tyler Hot Ecology Guy: Anything for you Me: promise?

Tyler Hot Ecology Guy: Definitely yes!

Me: I will hold you to that.

I make it through my shift with a few more flirty texts from Tyler and Mina and I head out to have dinner at the Diner near the gym. t has become our go to spot to people watch. It seems most of the werewolf population comes here. It’s probably because the owner is a werewolf and his wife is human. This is probably the best compromise for both of them, since He doesn’t smell like any pack I have come across, but he doesn’t have that feral smell from rogues who spend too much time away from civilization.

“So are you going to go on the run Thursday? Apparently it’s all Tyler has talked about all day.” She smiles at me.

“How do you know that? He literally just asked me right before my shift and didn’t even say yes.” I can’t decide if I am pleased he is so ready to jump right back into this weird ass friendship or irritated that he thinks I have forgiven him this easily.

“He’s hot. you’re hot, and people talk when two hot people stop speaking dramatically for a month and then are spotted making out in front of the coffee shop.” We both roll our eyes.

“You know that’s not what happened in front of the shop.” “But something did happen?”

“I gave him a hug. That’s all.” I switched to mindlink since there are many advanced ears in the room know need him to bring me back into the group and the run is the best way to do that.” “He works fast. doesnt he?” She winks at me.

“Shut up!” I say, but smile at her.
