"You know you really have to squash this stuff with your mum." Mandy admonished as soon as they were out of the house.

Jeremy didn't reply. His hand held hers as they walked along the street. A sense of deja vu was filling within him. Where had this happened before?

"It's not healthy, you know." She pushed.

"Can we not talk about that now?" Jeremy asked, an edgy tone to his voice.

Mandy shook her head bemused but relented.

They were soon deep in the woods. The previously sour mood had disappeared from Jeremy's face and was replaced with vigour.

"Someone's pumped." Mandy smirked as she watched him take off his shirt. He folded it and placed it on a large rock.

"Well, it's an opportunity to beat you once again in a race." He responded, his blue eyes twinkling.

Mandy rolled her eyes but smiled nonetheless. Her breath seized momentarily as she watched him take off the rest of his clothes. It wasn't the first time seeing him in the buff but she couldn't help the rise in her temperature on seeing his newly developed muscles. From his shoulders and triceps and biceps, she scanned. Her eyes moved downwards to his pectorials. They were perfectly toned and formed. She felt her face heat up as her eyes went further downwards.

"Enjoying the view?" His voice brought her gaze back to his face. There was a teasing smirk on his face.

"You wish." She stuck out her tongue at him and turned around.

Jeremy watched intently as she pulled off her shirt. His smirk vanished as her blue bra came in sight. Her jeans was the next to go and her matching blue lace panties came into view. He swallowed a bit, hoping she didn't hear that. She dumped her clothes by the base of a tree. He watched as she reached being her and unclasped the bra,removing it and tossing it to the rest of her clothes. A mixed look of arousal and curiosity appeared on his face as she took off her panties tossing it to the heap.

"Is it just me or did your butt get bigger?" He asked in the most innocent way he could, getting a surprised squeak from her.

"It's probably just you." She turned around to face him, traces of a blush leaving her face. He chuckled at that.

"But you would like that, wouldn't you?" She said dryly.

"That among other things." He smiled, looking at her bare form from head to toe.

"Of course." She shook her head.

A frown then appeared on her face as she scrutinized him.

"Something is not right." She stated, tilting her head sideways.

Jeremy stared at her, confused.

"Ah." She snapped her fingers in realisation. Walking towards him, she reached behind him and pulled out the rubber that kept his hair in a ponytail. His raven hair came lose and dropped to his shoulders.

"Oh, now that's better." She purred in satisfaction. "You look like a Greek god. A hunky sexy god."

"Really?" He grinned and posed.

"Yeah. My hunky god."

"Thanks, babe." He leaned forward and kissed her on the lips. It was short and brief, but a low whine escaped her.

"There'll be more of that later." He winked as he walked past her and faced the north. She pouted but followed nonetheless. They stood side by side.

"You ready?" He spared a sideway glance at her.

"To kick your Alpha butt? Sure?" She smirked.

Jeremy rolled his eyes and laughed. As if in symphony, they shifted simultaneously.

Mandy couldn't get over the sight of Jeremy in his beastly form. This was the third time she had seen him shift as she helped him previously get accustomed to his powers when he newly gained them. But still, the big wolf that stood beside her was always a sight to behold. His fur was as dark as Gerard's and Alpha Ronald's and he was almost as huge as the latter. There was a yellow strip on his underbelly and the normally black moon tattoos on his neck in human form were present in the middle of his head in wolf form and they glowed yellow. His eyes were different from the regular wolves as they comprised of dark scelera with brighter golden irises.

'I know I'm a sight to behold but we've got some running to do.' He barked a mind link to her.

'Right.' She replied.

'One...two...' They crouched.

'Three!'

They took off into the woods. They were at first neck in neck before Mandy quickly overtook him.

'Ha!' She turned around momentarily, giving him a victorious gaze before sprinting on.

Mandy smiled inwardly, the wind caressing her white fur as she sped on. This was one of the perks on running in her wolf form. She felt at peace and at one with nature. From the way, the wind whistled in her ears to the softness of the soil under her feet as she ran. She put it in mind to convince her mate on doing this everyday.

Turning around as she ran, she noticed she couldn't see Jeremy again. She wasn't worried as she knew he was still nearby due to his strong scent she detected.

'Ha! I'm winning! Take that, Muffin!' She cheered as she could see the destination of the ending point of their race. A lake which was now visible at the clearing of the woods.

In her moment of euphoria, she was startled as a blur of darkness quickly sped past her. It was so quick that a normal human eyes couldn't detect it. She yelped, suddenly losing her balance. When she regained it, she stared in shock at the black wolf standing by the lake, wagging it's tail.

'You were saying?' Jeremy barked. She could detect the tone of laughter in his voice.

Mandy's ears dropped as realisation hit her. He had been giving her a head start the whole time. They shifted back to their human forms and Mandy huffed.

"Another win goes to Alpha Griffin." He whooped, pumping his arms.

She turned around and pouted.

"I can't believe you did that" She grumbled. "Toying with me like that."

Jeremy paused and faced her.

"Come on, babe. Don't tell me you're upset." He said.

She didn't turn around.

"Mandy?" He walked towards her.

She didn't budge. Jeremy knew it really got to her.

"Mandy, come on. Don't be like that." He pressed.

She only huffed. While she remained still without turning around, she gave him all the time in the world to check out her nude form. His eyes roamed from the top of her head downwards and he felt a surge within him. A grin appeared on his face.

Mandy jolted as she felt arms wrap around her waist. She opened her mouth to respond but was silenced by his lips on the nape of her neck. She gasped lowly at the touch and goosebumps appeared on her shoulders.

"Still not going to respond?" His voice was husky. She could now feel something pressed on her butt and she squealed. His hands around her waist were now moving upwards.

"You know you can't resist." He kissed her jawline and she shivered.

Mandy was thankful for a lot of things. Mated to a werewolf was one. But mated to a special breed was on a whole new level. If someone told her three months ago, that Jeremy would be this charming and seductive, she would checked them into the nearest psychiatric ward. How he did a 360° personality change from shy and stuttering to hold, assertive and suave was one of the biggest surprises in her life. She didn't mind though.

His hands had now cupped the undersides of her breasts and she felt her resolve wilting away.

'Damn it, I can't stay mad at him.' She groaned inwardly.

'Just let him have his way.' Her wolf whined. 'It would be beneficial for us.'

"Oh, come here, you beast." Mandy spun round and wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him into a heated make out.

Jeremy's eyes widened a bit at her sudden move. But he returned her kiss nonetheless with dexterity. His hands roamed around her back then slipped downwards to squeeze her butt. She squealed into his lips and he grinned. He squeezed tighter and pulled away from her. He kissed her bottom lip and her eyes clamped shut, her lips parted a bit as his lips went lower. First, her chin, then her chest. She waited in anticipation for him to go lower as she felt the heat between her legs.

And just like that, it was over. Suddenly she didn't feel anything again.His touches stopped. She opened her eyes only to see no one in front of her. She heard a splash behind her and spun around. Jeremy had gotten into the lake and rested at the edge.

"Come on in, the water's warm." He smiled innocently at her.

However, she could see amusement dance in the blue pools of his eyes.

"Jeremy,you jerk!" She screeched as she charged towards him.
