Quinn POV
Two years later
“Meg come on everyone is waiting.” I hollered as I walked down the hall towards the movie theatre. This was supposed to be just us tonight, just the group of us from the ranked families. A time to catch up with each other before school starts up again for my last year. We had all been so busy this summer we hadn’t had the time to hang out as much as we normally do, we had hardly even talked. And once school starts up it will get worse. We had even missed the last two tracker training games, but Dad said that they weren't a big deal anymore.
The group of us had always been close, even with the age differences. There was that little bit of time when we were younger that the guys and I had decided that we didn’t want to do ‘girlie things’ with Meg and my younger sister April anymore. But that was before we got older and discovered that there was some ‘girlie stuff’ that could be fun just not with these two. That would just be weird. Meg is just a friend and that is what I have been telling myself for the last two years. Things are better for the most part now that I’m over that embarrassing ‘pop a boner at everything’ stage of puberty. There are still times that I don’t have the control over it that I would like, but that is only with one person, who is just a friend.
I was leaning against the door frame to the theatre glaring at the guy that Meg had invited.
It’s that guy, Matt from Silver River our neighbouring pack. He’s been sniffing around Meg off and on for two years, even more so the last couple of months. I don’t know what she sees in him. He’s an arrogant jerk. And not even as good of a warrior as she is. I think that is the only reason that I haven't kicked his ass yet, because if tries anything with her that she doesn't want she will be able to put him in his place on her own. I feel a sense of pride knowing that I was part of the training that got her to that point. What does bother me is that from what I saw earlier tonight she may want him to do something.
“You do realize you are glaring at them like a jealous ex-boyfriend, right?” Levi says.
“I am not.” I gruffly say pushing myself off the door frame and walking into the theatre.
“Oh, you most definitely are,” Levi says following me. Levi may be next in line to take over as Gamma of the pack when my younger twin cousins take over as Alphas and I as Beta. He is a good guy, but boy can he be annoying sometimes.
I sit in the back corner hoping that I don’t have to listen or see what Meg and warrior jackass are talking about or worse see them making out again since they are sitting one section over and about two rows up.
Levi is sitting next to me and about ten minutes into the movie he is just staring at me. “What?” I snap at him.
“You’re into her aren’t you?” His question surprises me.
“What?” I ask as I pull my gaze from Meg and ‘her date’ towards him.
“You are crushing on my sister.” He states the question in his voice gone. “The last two years you kept telling me that you were staying away from her because of stupid puberty, but that is not the case anymore, is it? You are crushing on her, but you’re too scared to tell her.” He says with a smirk on his face. Like I said he can be annoying.
“No. I just think that the guy is a jerk and she can do better.” I say putting my attention on the screen.
“So that is why you had not once taken your eyes off her? You’re worried that he’ll try something?”
“Shut up and watch the movie.” I snap at him again.
He’s right though I have noticed that my feelings toward her have started to change again in the last month or so. I can’t explain it. It is one of the reasons I suggested tonight. I thought that maybe I was just missing her because I had tried to keep my distance and not be alone with her for the last couple of years. Then with things starting to change in our lives, maybe I’m just missing the old days.
The plan was for the group of us to get together have supper, play some games and end the night here with a movie. The group of us curled up on one of the couches like the good old days. Then she had shown up with ‘him’. I hadn’t once got a chance to talk to her. I had to try and pretend that all was fine when all I wanted to do was snap his neck. It was torture listening to her sweet laugh from across the room. I can’t do this anymore. “I’m out of here. I’ll talk to you tomorrow Levi.”
“Ok, see ya man.” He answers with an all too knowing look.
I may not be popping a boner every time I turn around, but that doesn’t mean that my emotions are stable. I turn and take one last look at Meg before opening the door. What surprised me was the fact she was looking back at me. I caught one last glimpse of those gorgeous blue eyes with what looked like sadness in them. I have to do something about these feelings. I can’t have them about Meg. I mean it's Meg. Friend only...Right?
I dash out of the packhouse and I make my way to the gym. I need to burn off this frustration. Grabbing a change of clothes that I keep in a locker here I change and start on the trendmill. 'You know she would make us a good mate.' I suddenly hear in my head. I was caught off causing me to almost lose my footing.
'Wolf?'
'Hi, name is Ash. Go make other wolf stay away from possible mate.' Ash, who is apparently my wolf says.
'What are you talking about?' I ask confused and in a little bit of shock that now is when my wolf decided to make an appearance.
'Girl with pretty blue eyes and good scent. She'd be good mate, so you need to keep her away from others.' Ash says.
'Meg is a friend that is it, not mate material.' I can't have my wolf start pushing me to do something that I have been stopping myself from doing for over two years now. I get off the treadmill and head over to the heavy bags, I hope that they are up for the challenge.
Letting out a huff Ash steps out of the shadows of my mind. I can't see him, clearly yet, that will come with time. Ash starts going on about all the things that we could be doing with Meg. Instead of arguing with him I just block him out and take my frustrations out on the poor heavy bag. I can feel my muscles bunching and flexing as I land hit after hit to the bag. Taking another swing I see the bag fly off the chain and land off to the side of where I was standing. Crouching down I look at the top I can see where the hanging chain had broken away from the bag and there is also a seam starting to rip.
'If you would stop playing with this bag and let blue eyes play with yours you wouldn't be so frustrated.' Ash says.
Stepping over to the other heavy bag I pull the towel that I hung on it off and through it on top of the one that is now on the ground. I started in on the next bag. 'Meg is a friend. You don't do that with friends.' I yell at him.
'Yes, you do I heard about its friend with benefits. I may not have talked to you before now, but I heard things.' He says.
Great I got stuck with a sex-crazed, arrogant wolf. 'Not with Meg.' I yell again. I'm about to tell him off some more when the gym door opens and I'm surrounded by coconuts. I hit the bag a few more times as I listened to her footfalls make their way across the gym towards me. Dropping my hands to my side I turn to face her. “Hey.” She says.
“Hey,” I answered and picked up a towel that was sitting on the broken heavy bag.
“Did you do that?” She asked nodding towards the bag.
“Yeah. The hanging chain broke and I think one of the seams is starting to let go too.” I answer wiping the sweat from my face and upper body. 'She was checking us out. She wants the benefits.'
'Ash shut the hell up.' I stepped up behind Meg while she was crouched down looking at the bag I had broken earlier.
When she stood up she tried to step back and tripped on the bag. I reached out and grabbed her before she landed on the ground. I pulled her against my chest she felt so right there.
Meg POV I watched as Quinn left. I know I shouldn’t have brought Matt tonight but I thought I could use him to hide behind, a way to hide my feelings. Feelings I shouldn’t be having. I mean it's Quinn. Our future Beta, my long-time friend I can’t have these types of feelings for him. But for the last month or so the thoughts I have been having about him are anything but in the friend zone. They have been there off and on in small amounts ever since that time in the woods when he pinned me to the ground. I am still not sure what I saw when he was in the stream that day, but every once and a while that image pops up in one of my dreams. So I guess I would have to admit that it had been longer than a month they have just gotten stronger in the last month. I have watched him develop, physically as he has increased his training to get ready to go to his Beta training next September after he graduates high school. I hadn’t noticed at first. At least I hadn’t until one of the girls at school
Quinn POV “She can do better than me too,” I mutter to myself as I make my way into the locker room. ‘Ash, what the hell man?’ Now he decides to shut up. His appearance tonight would explain some of my irritation and edginess tonight. Ash hadn’t shut up since Meg walked in. He kept flashing images of her on her knees sucking my dick, my head buried between her legs and the one that almost made me lose control. I had her under me screaming in pleasure. It was so real that I could feel her nails digging into my back and the tightness of her warm, wet pussy squeezing my cock as I drove into her. So when she said that she was going to call Matt I lost it. There was no way that he was going to experience what I had just been thinking about doing. No. Fucking. Way. I had her pinned to the door before I could even fully comprehend what I was doing. “You will not be calling him back.” I’m not sure who was more pissed me or Ash. I stood there holding her against the door trying to calm myself
Meg POV 10 months later Where the hell is he? I have finally got up the courage and now I can’t find him. I have spent this entire school year berating myself about the feelings that I have for Quinn. I just kept telling myself that it was normal teenage hormones. I mean look at the guy. There isn’t a straight female out there who wouldn’t want to at least look at him. I was doing well until about a month ago when that bitch Avery started going on about how Quinn and her were going to be mates. Come on really, there is no way that Quinn’s wolf would be attracted to a bitch like that. Physically, maybe I guess, but personality-wise, never. She is so convinced of it that she has even picked out everything that she wants for their ceremony when they are appointed into the Beta positions. This is just pathic in and of itself because even if she were to turn out to be Quinn's one of his possible choices and for some insane reason he picks her, it could be another five to ten years before
Meg POVI was woken from the restless sleep that I had been having by a thump. Sitting up and turning on the light I can’t see anything that is out of place. Maybe a bird got spooked and hit the window it wouldn’t be the first time that it had happened. I hadn’t been able to get that kiss out of my head I had spent two hours tossing and turning. I had images of Quinn making out with Avery holding her the way he had held me behind the school. Or would he be making out with some other girl? It’s not like he doesn’t have options. Then I thought about how desperate and confused he had sounded when I had blocked him. Maybe I should have given him a chance to explain. I wonder if he is still at the lake. I guess I’m awake now so now is as good of time as any to see if he still wants to talk. As I swing my feet over the edge of the bed they come in contact with a hard lump that groans and the strong scent of wild strawberries hits me. I quickly pull my feet back up and peer over the side. Qu
Quinn POV I really like having these dreams. Dreaming what it would be like to sleep with Meg in my arms. Wake with her in my arms. The only thing better would be for it to be real. Holding Meg against me during that kiss outside the school last night has only made it so that my mind can make holding her in a dream feel so much more realistic. I can feel her perfectly perky breast pressed against my chest while my arms are wrapped around her. The feel of soft skin that I can feel where her shirt has ridden up as I glide my hand down her body following her curves as they dip in at her waist before flaring out at her hip. Following her hip around to what I can only describe as the best ass on the planet. I let my body have its natural reaction to the feel of that warm round globe in my hand that is partially exposed from where her shorts bunched up. I pull her down onto my hardness as I lift my hips to grind against her. The soft moan that she makes sends a sh
Meg POV I’m sitting in the bleacher by the outdoor sparing ring watching the competition that is taking place. Shane, Aaron and Dad hold these about every three months or so to find out where everyone is sitting in their training. I have just finished mine for the day and I’m waiting on the rest of the gang. So we can get things ready for the party tonight. The twins, Shane and Mona are supposed to be going and meeting with a new member of the pack. I think they said her name is Heather and is a half werewolf. She is moving in with her human Grandmother who lives on pack lands after selling the land around her cottage to the pack. So it will be just Levi, April, myself and Quinn setting up. It’s been just over a month now since Quinn showed up in my room drunk the night of his graduation and he hasn’t said a word about it, but then again I haven’t either. I have been wondering if he thinks I don’t know he was there. I know he was there I’m just not s
Meg POV Shane wasn’t even fully out of the way before Avery launched herself at me. I just sidestepped out of the way and watched her sail past me and land with a thump causing a dust cloud to form around her. I still can’t for the life of me figure out why she thought she could win. It would be different if she did the training when she showed up. The most I have ever seen her do is the warm-up stretches. She just goes to the front of the group to make sure that all the guys can get a good look at her ass. As soon as anything useful starts to be taught she’s out of there. Well I can’t say that she leaves, she just sits on the bleachers watching the guys. She has charged at me two more times now and every time she has face-planted on the ground. I’m starting to wonder what she is doing. “Do we need to keep doing this Avery or are we actually going to fight?” “I am fighting. You’re just too scared of me that is why you keep dodging me.”
Quinn POV I climb out of the truck and walk over to be introduced to the newest pack member. Reed and Lucas haven’t shut up about her since they got back to the packhouse. If she has caught my cousins’ eye there has to be something special about her. I never heard them talk about a female this way. I look to the back of the truck where the others are climbing out and watch as Meg gracefully jumps off the tailgate. I’m brought out of my thoughts by Reed calling me. I walk over, stop in front of her and tilt my head down. “I see what you mean. She’s short, but she looks stocky.” I say as I grab her by her shoulders and pick her up so that she is at eye level with me. “I didn’t want you to hurt your neck while I said hi. Hi!” I set her back down as Meg, Levi and April finish exiting the truck and make their way to us. As introductions are made I try to remember the relation of them all. Jacob is the future Alpha of Blue Ridge, Zane is his future Beta, and Dawn
