I agreed, and we headed out.
There wasabout an hour between that class and the next, during which I usually ate a salad I picked up from the grocery store on the way to my first class. But given everything that had happened, I didn’t have a salad.
I still wasn’t that hungry though.
But Ford probably was, considering he’d been a wolf for half a day or so, and hadn’t had dinner.
“So… I’m pretty sure Jesse was furry longer than you were,” I remarked, as we walked. If we got any funny looks, I didn’t really care. Too much had changed recently for that.
“He was,” Ford agreed. “Every wolf is different, but they’ll hunt until they think their mate will accept the change well enough to survive it. I’ve heard of wolves hunting for more than a year before… but I’ve also heard of wolves only hunting for about a minute.”
My eyebrows shot upward. “Damn.”
He nodded. “Jesse was hunting for a few months, which is probably about average. I didn’t expect my wolf to bite you so soon, but I can’t say I’m mad he did. You’re fine, and now I don’t have to sleep for a week.”
I blinked. “A week?”
“Hunting wolves don’t sleep, so if someone’s been hunting for a while, they’ll catch up on sleep for a week or two after they wake up.”
Well, that was crazy.
“Did you tell your friends that you bit me yet?” I asked him, eyeing him closely.
“No. I thought you’d want a say in when they find out, given how yesterday went.”
I nodded. That, I could appreciate. “Let’s give it a few days. I’m still not sure I understand all of this.” I gestured between us, and his head bobbed as we reached the car.
He grabbed the handle on the passenger door and tugged it open for me before I could get it myself. “Werewolf rule number one,” he said, feigning seriousness. “Let your mate take care of you.” He paused. “In every way.”
My face heated, and he winked at me before he shut the door.
Damn horny werewolf, making me all hot and bothered.
Was being this turned on by him even normal? I needed to ask Teagan, but I still wasn’t ready for that yet.
“So should I go get tested for STDs?” I asked him, as he buckled himself into the driver’s seat.
“Did you have unprotected sex with Reed?” He asked without a pause.
I wrinkled my nose. “No.”
“Then don’t bother.”
I lifted an eyebrow at him. “When was the last time you were tested?”
He pulled the car away from the curb. “Never.”
Both of my eyebrows lifted then. “Shit. We’re hosed.”
“I’ve never been with anyone else, Ebony,” he said.
The car went silent, tires on asphalt the only thing I could hear.
“What?” I finally asked, assuming I must’ve heard him wrong.
He flashed me a small grin. “Werewolves wait for our mates. The wolves in us don’t give us much of a say in that matter.”
Shit.
