hair up a lot.
"It will cover
most of it so it’s not so obvious." She states dabbing the mark
with the foundation then covering it with loose powder. She's
right, you can barely see it. I hug her and walk to the closet. I
pick out a light purple loose sundress with a cream and brown
belt.
I don't bother
putting on shoes. "You look lovely."
"Thanks,
mom."
"Put on heels.
You don't want to look too short next to Alpha Hall."
"Yeah, I guess
you’re right.” I put on my brown wedges and we hear the doorbell
ring.
"I didn't tell
him a time. We still have a half hour before the casserole is done
and your sister invited someone too and he's not here yet." She
panics.
"Relax, we'll
just watch TV or something."
We walk out of
the room and downstairs. I see my dad standing awkwardly with
Lennox and smile. My dad hasn't said much to me since he found out
earlier today. While Marta and my mom grilled me, he remained
pensive. I walk up to them and I see Lennox looking at my neck and
I cover it with my hand blushing. He removes my hand and licks his
thumb wiping off the cover up. "Don't ever cover my
marks."
I nod feeling
uncomfortable with my parents watching this, knowing how I got this
mark. Did he have to do it in front of them? Especially my dad who
looks so painfully uneasy he keeps shifting on his feet, looking
anywhere but us. "Dinner’s not ready yet. Want to go for a run or
watch TV?" I ask.
"Doesn't
matter."
"Well, I haven't
run in a week. I'd really like to see some of the
territory."
He nods in
agreement and takes my hand walking to the back door. At the edge
of the woods I pull my hand from his to go shift. I hear his low
growl but he lets me walk away behind a tree. I lay my clothes on a
tree and seconds later I'm in wolf form instantly seeing, smelling
and hearing better.
I walk out and
see that Lennox hasn't turned and look at him questionably. He
smirks. "You’re beautiful." He states looking over my pure white
wolf. "I don't trust my wolf to keep from taking you." He adds
explaining why he didn't shift.
He starts
walking through the woods and I follow staying by his side. He
stops in the middle of an open meadow and looks down at
me.
"You can
run here but don't go out of my sight."
I take
off happily, running around the edge where the trees meet the
meadow. I chase a few birds and I scare a few mice. When I circle
for the eighth time, I glance at Lennox seeing how ridged and tense
he looks. I know looking at him he is fighting back his instincts
to chase me. I walk slowly over to him and nudge his legs letting
him know I want to go back. We start walking back, I'm fully aware
I need to stay slightly behind him if I want to help him control
his wolf even if everything in me is telling me to bolt.
I slowly
walk away from him to get my clothes and I hear his warning growl.
I freeze and turn to him keeping my head down. He stands in front
of me then walks me to my clothes. Still standing where I can see
him he turns and I take that as my cue to get dressed. I shift and
put on my bra and underwear in record speed. Pulling my dress back
on and belting it. I sit down on a stump to put my shoes on and
walk to his side.
"Better?"
I ask. Noticing he's not as tense.
He looks
down at me. "Barely. You’re lucky you stopped when you
did."
Entering
the back door I smell the Alfredo chicken casserole and my mouth
waters. My favorite dish, well any pasta really. "Dinner’s ready."
Mom tells us and I lead the way to the dining table where I see
Tom, Marta and dad sitting and talking.
"Sorry, I
got caught up running." I apologize. Lennox pulls out my chair for
me and I thank him and sit down. He sits next to me and the table
gets quiet.
"What
would you like to drink, Lennox?" I ask about to go get him
something. Mom beats me to it, bringing out a pitcher of iced
tea.
"Tea is
fine." He replies. I stand and pour everyone's drink.
"So, did
everyone have fun at the falls?" I ask searching for something
