“I will mate with Jude. Although you will have to prepare me for the ritual. We didn’t have the chance with Noah.”
Lennox got up from his chair and placed his hands on either side of Jordan’s face. Looking into her eyes he said, “You have made the right choice child. You have made me a very happy man.” He bent down and kissed the top of her forehead before turning to Sonja.
“Do you understand why this is so important? Why this must be done.”
Sonja toyed with her food on her plate before answering. She looked up at him. “Yes I do. I understand but it doesn’t mean I have to agree with it. I will support you though.” She said giving him a weak smile.
Lennox clapped his hands and said, “It’s done then! Let’s celebrate.” He looked at Mamma Sable and told her to call the rest to come and join them.
Jordan watched the old woman leave and then looked at her sister who was now staring back at her.
Chapter 7
––––––––
Two weeks had passed and Jordan was growing antsy. She had gone on several dates with Jude which allowed both of them to get to know each other better. He was seven years older than Jordan and he knew a lot. He explained about his life in the Yukon with his mother and the small family they had down there. That he and his brother were inseparable as kids and when it was time for him to leave at the age of 13, they were both devastated. Jude was everything Noah was in personality and looks. The only difference that Jordan noticed was Jude had a short fuse and could go into a rage very quickly although it had only happened once. She would ask him questions about that horrible day when the Kodiak pack came but he would just brush it off and say he didn’t remember much.
Jordan sat in her chair in the back office doing paperwork at the Coyote and let her thoughts wander while she stared at the documents. It was 12:00 pm when she heard her name being called. No one should be here; the placed was closed. She got up, walking over to the door and opening it; she looked out. She watched Jude walk towards her.
His dark hair was tousled and he was only wearing a pair of white and black board shorts and a tank top. His chest was a mass of muscles under his tank and his arms were covered from tattoos and his neck was incredibly thick. His taut legs and thighs were rock hard. He was the most gorgeous sight she had laid eyes on.
“Hey beautiful.” He said walking up to her.
“Hey yourself.” She said nudging his shoulder. She turned around walking back to her chair and watched Jude shut the door behind him and take a seat on the loveseat.
“What are you doing here alone?”
“Paperwork.” She said looking down at her desk that was laden with a stack of documents. “Also thinking. Getting a bit nervous.”
“Don’t be. Everything will be fine.”
“I know it will be.” Jordan said fingering her hair.
“Are you still a virgin?” He asked grinning.
Jordan looked at him and pulled her hair back to get a better look. “Really?” She asked with a smirk.
“I’m still confused about one thing. When we lived in Willow, all the pack members could shift even as children. My dreams, the nightmares I have about that day...I always remembered that I should have shifted to reach my parents sooner. I was trying to communicate with them telepathically, through my animal side. But since we were found by Mamma Sable, she was always adamant that we can only shift into our animal when we hit our 21st birthdays and infected by our mates. It doesn’t make sense.”
Jude removed his arm from behind her and sat up straight. “It does make sense Jordan. Your parents, you and Sonja are also from a rare bloodline, a special one and that’s why it’s different for you. Don’t think about it so much. It’s going to drive you nuts. One more night; we mate and you shift for the first time.” He smiled grabbing her chin and pulling her lips to his. Without giving it a second
