Iggy said she loved pizza so I went all out for our second date. Well, maybe not date, but dinner. My wolf and I are calling it a date, though.
I set the pasta and garlic bread on the table next to the homemade pizza. It took me three tries to get the dough right, but Iâm pleased with how it came out this time. I just hope that my mate likes it too.
My wolf snaps at me. Heâs hungry for something more than food. The mating heat is pressing down on us already, and I know this is my chance to really win Iggy over. Iâm not sure that my wolf and I can survive until next month to claim her.
The front door opens, and I take a deep breath, trying to calm my wolf and me down as I go to greet my girl.
âIt smells so good in here,â she says as she shrugs out of her jacket.
âI cooked us dinner,â I tell her, and she smiles.
âBo and Liam did the same for Rue. It must be in the air or something because they sure were in a hurry for me to leave,â she says with a laugh, and I swallow hard.
Iâm going to have to tell her more about shifters and the mating moon, and Iâm not sure how sheâs going to take it.
Sheâs wearing a tight pair of yoga pants and a loose-fitting sweater that hangs off one shoulder, exposing my bite mark. My eyes zero in on the length of her neck that is now exposed, and I wonder if I should say Iâm not feeling well and go lay down. Or more like barricade myself in my bedroom. No way can I make it through tonight with her looking like that. Especially if she rejects me.
Coward, my wolf snarls, and I sigh.
âDid you want to go out to dinner instead?â I croak.
âWhat? No, it smells really good, and Iâm starving. Wait, are you feeling alright?â She asks, stepping closer to me with a look of concern on her face.
This is my chance. Say no and leave or tell her all about the mating heat.
âYou donât look so well,â she says, stepping closer to me and resting her hand on my forehead. âYou feel really hot. Why donât you go lay down?â
âNo, Iâm fine.â
âYou donât look fine,â she says, looking skeptical.
âItâs not an illness. Itâs the mating heat.â
âThat what?â She asks, and I take her hand, leading her into the kitchen.
âLetâs eat. Iâll tell you about it over dinner.â
âAlright,â she says, and I hurry to pull out her chair.
I take the one next to her and try to discreetly wipe the sweat from my brow as I start to fill her plate with food.
âAre you sure that youâre okay?â She asks, eyeing me carefully.
âIâm sure. Itâs the full moon tonight,â I start. âAnd that means that every mated shifter is going to feel the mating heat.â
âWhatâs that?â
âItâs⦠itâs pure desire.â
Her fork clatters to her plate, and she stares at me with wide eyes.
