59. It's Yours

Lilith

Noel told me about the guys joining the pack and I was not surprised at all. I saw this coming as soon as they all found their mates. I was happy for them particularly Marcus and Roxie. I was at lunch with Juliet and Noel as per usual and it was so awkward. They kept flirting then stopping and going on like nothing happened. It was weird. I mind linked Noel. “What is the situation here?” His response was “I don’t know.” I sighed and stretched. I couldn’t stand the awkwardness.

“So are you guys dating now?” I blurted out directing the question at both of them. Juliet went flush. I didn’t want to butt in, but this was fucking ridiculous. Neither responded to me. “Noel do you like Juliet?” He said “Yes” I smiled saying “Fucking fantastic, and Juliet do you like Noel.” She was flushed and nodded. “Great I now declare you are fucking boyfriend and girlfriend, Congratulations.” Like children I swear. I got up from the table. Noel stood he knew he was supposed to accompany, and I mind linked him. “I am going to the library calm down and eat with your girlfriend.” He mind linked back. “You know I have to stay with you.” I rolled my eyes.

“Fine I will just be sitting with Polly then.” I mind linked and took my food with me. I could have commanded Noel to leave me alone, but I didn’t want to boss him around for no reason. Well, maybe I did but this was not the thing to make me want to do that. I walked off to Polly’s table and sat down the rest of the cheerleaders looked at me. I gave them a quick smile and began to eat. Of course, Queen Bee she was started to talk to me as she stroked her boyfriend's hair. “I thought you would join us eventually” she said. I didn’t respond but gave her a smile with my face full of food.

The discussion was beyond vapid, and I wish I had a book with me. They drooled on and Noel and I had some good laughs, and so did Juliet and I when we had our classes together. It was a basic day except for the part where Noel and Juliet sucked faces in the hallway. I didn’t care though. Cheer was like it was every day and as Noel and I walked out toward our car that fucking asshole was waiting. He wasn’t next to our car thankfully. He had no idea which one was ours, at least I hoped not. He was puffing on a cigarette as he looked at me, fucking Bowie.

Noel mind linked me “Are you okay?” I responded with “Yes, but let’s walk somewhere and hopefully when we get back he is gone. I don’t want to be anywhere near that creep.” we nodded and walked away from him in another direction. “Eric told me to let you handle him unless I needed to step in. That is good with you?” I nodded to him as we walked around to the front of the school. I didn’t need to walk straight into the city when we planned on leaving as soon as the coast was clear. We waited a good 30 minuets before we returned and thanking my fucking stars Bowie had left.

I got behind the wheel and made sure to go to a new service station rather than the one we went to everyday. “He is toying with me.” I said to Noel as we ate or stolen snacks. Noel didn’t say anything. He didn’t need to though. I had only stated a fact. I drove fast and kept checking the mirrors making sure there was no one following, and I was glad to see no one was.

I finally got to the garage and pulled the classic muscle car in. Eric was leaning against the dark blue BMW that I had driven this last weekend, and my fingers twitched thinking about getting behind the wheel again. If Marcus was going to be part of the pack, he would be here and could supe it up for me. But the problem was it wasn’t my car. I would have to get my own for him to do that. I put the dodge in park. “So obsessed with being around fast things.” Kali said in my head, and I grinned. She wasn’t wrong. “You are part of the reason for that. And don’t act like you don’t like it when I am a speed demon.” She laughed in my head.

Our relationship had gotten much better since we were at Grey Crest Pack. She was jovial most of the time and didn’t lose her cool too much. Also, I had not felt her force a shift in a while. The ideas that were not appropriate for most people, that I did, she had not been the one suggesting it. I wondered if I could stop doing any crime would that. “Yes, just because I don’t tell you to do it anymore you have to. I like it besides you are too good at stealing to give it up all the way. Though I wouldn’t be opposed to you becoming a vigilante of some kind, killing bad guys is not such a bad thing.” Kali had cut me off.

I snorted replying to my wolf. “Fine, I will just keep up the good work then.” She added. “You mean the bad work.” I laughed and Noel turned to me. I said “Kali”, And he nodded in understanding. “I am not going to become a vigilante Kali so forget that, but you are right I'm too good at being bad.” I got out of the car to Eric walking over he pulled me to him and gave me a searing kiss. “I saw you looking at my BMW.” He spoke. I shrugged. “You like it?” He asked and I replied, “It is alright.” Playing it off cool I thought.

I didn’t need him to know that it was, in my opinion, the best thing in his garage. He had no motorcycles, so this was the best. “So, you don’t want me to change the title to your name so it can be yours?” Now he was the one looking all nonchalantly at me. “Yes!” I screamed and through my arms around him. He was too smooth. How did he even know I loved that thing; he just now saw me staring at it as I pulled in. He smirked. “Then it is yours.” I squealed. “Now do you want to have the guys join the pack before you train or after?” He asked. I bit my lip thinking. “Before.” I finally said. He nodded.

We walked toward the training field like I did every day after I got home from school. I was still in my practice stuff for cheer. “Bowie showed up at school today. Just in the parking lot. Noel and I went to the front of the school and checked back after half an hour and then he had left. He is just being taunting me. He knows my routines well used to at least. Anyways, Noel and I said nothing to him, and no one followed us.” He pulled me tight into him throwing his large muscular arm around me and continued to walk. He didn’t say anything.

That is one thing I loved about Eric; he was not overly pushy on things. Not only that but he knew for the most part that I could take care of myself. It was nice to not have someone who thought I was just a little woman. I really believed him when he told me we were equals. We were close enough to the field that I saw those three fuckwads. “How was talking to the three stooges' today?” I asked Eric. He smiled and spoke. “I think the four of you have your own inner-city language.” I chuckled as we got closer. The whole pack was there. Eric probably mind linked all of them to come to the large field so they could witness three new shifters joining their pack. They all came to see me join.

Those these faces were mostly shock, they had not gotten a chance to really know the guys yet. I hoped it was easier for them to be here than it had for me in the beginning. But maybe they would fit right in. As Tate shoved Percy calling him “Limp dick.” I laughed and thought that shit just got way more entertaining. “You lot from the city are a different breed.” Eric mind linked me and I laughed. He had no idea. We were in close proximity of the guys and I yelled. “Hey, get you ugly, stank assess over here." They all looked at me and Eric. I raised one of my eyebrows. “The Luna how may we serve you?” Marcus joked as he bowed. “Dickhead” I said and they moved in front of Eric and I.

I looked at Roxie and mind linked her. “Have fun last night?” She blushed and I winked. Then she replied. “Who knew that my mate would have no pack and then find me.” I grinned and said. “I am glad you got Marcus, he is entertaining. He will be good to you.” I paused then mind linked again “Or I will kill him either way I got you.” She smiled at me and Marcus must have seen. “Of course my mate has to be close to you.” I glared at him “Shut up, or after this I will beat your face in.” He laughed he knew I was kidding. But he also knew I could beat him if I wanted. Eric went through the thing and then I felt them being joined in my head.

I mind linked Tate. “Your weird looking you know that poor Mia.” He turned to me and laughed. Marcus's mind linked me. “Okay this is fucking bad ass.” I agreed. The pack took time welcoming them and Eric stood by me. “So, when are you going to start the training?” He asked I looked at them all they looked happy. “I will give them a few more minutes.” He put his arm around me pulling me to him and I felt the slow circles he was tracing on my back. It was sending shivers up and down my spine. I mind linked him. “I plan to thank you tonight for my new car.” I said and I felt him squeeze my ass. “Why must you always tease me?” He mind linked. “It isn’t teasing when I tell you it is going to happen.”
