Him.

Jamie's P.O.V
I have never had a dog work kept me too busy, and my mother hates dogs, so I could never have one as a kid. I just hoped that when it woke up it wouldn't try to eat me. If it lived in the woods as I think it does, then it must be a wild and untamed animal, but a dog this big must cost a fortune. It might be someone's dog, but there was no tag around its neck.
I drove home to check on it now and then as I drove, when I got to my place, I carried it in and placed it on my couch... now what? It was midnight already. All vets were closed at this time... I could keep it here and pray to god it doesn't kill me before morning, then take it to the vet, but first I need to make it comfortable, check its wounds, get some water and food just in case it wakes up.
I got a bowl of lukewarm water and some antiseptic towels and a blanket. I started looking for the wounds, but its fur was too thick for me to find any. Then I wiped away the blood on its fur by its eye, but the wound wasn't visible strange... how did it just disappear like that? I brushed that question off and set out a bowl with water and some raw chicken...
It's the best I had. It's not like I kept dog food in my house in case of something like this happening. When I was done, I threw the blanket over it and sat down on the one-seater opposite the dog... bat in hand, I had to be prepared. I fought in the army. I couldn't come home only to be mauled by a dog. It huffed out a breath, but other than that, it just lay there.
By the looks of it, the dog is female. I should stop saying it, then I drifted off to sleep with thoughts of the blonde woman that stole my heart in just one night.
Karla's P.O.V
I watched him. Through Shiro's eyes, I have been awake in her mind for some time now, trying to figure out how the hell this happened? I mean, I know how, but I wasn't supposed to see him again, yet there he was asleep with a bat in his hand as though that was going to help him... Shiro's eyes closed again, blissfully unaware of the stranger sitting across from us...
I hoped she wouldn't try to attack him once she woke up. I still haven't told her about what had happened. She wanted us to wait for our mate. I did too, but the thought of marrying William or of him having me in that way for the first time I had to do something right? She wouldn't be that pissed off when she saw how hot he was. I wished to pry her eyes open, so I could watch him sleep a bit more, but that was far-fetched.
Then she stirred slowly at first, getting her bearings about her before she opened her eyes...
"Wait"
I yelled
"Geez, keep it down! My head hurts."
She groaned
"I'm sorry, but there is something I need to tell you before you're fully awake."
I said
"What have you done this time?"
"Uhm so... you've been in an accident and don't freak out okay. I met a man last night, and uhm..."
"Look princess, what you do is on you. As long as our virginity is still intact, no stress."
She said... Here we go.
"It's gone."
I said, trying to hide in her mind.
"What do you mean it's gone? That is not something you can just lose or misplace."
"Shiro...
"Oh you... oh moon goddess... I thought you agreed to wait!"
Okay she's pissed.
"I did, and I was, but this whole thing about marrying William got to me and I didn't want him to have it."
"So you slept with some random f*****g guy? I told you that wolfsbane s**t is no good if I was around and alert I could have stopped it from happening."
"I'm sorry shy"
"Who is the asshole? Was he at least good?"
"Uhm about that... I don't remember."
"You don't f*****g remember who he is or what the s*x was like? Was he that lousy? How f*****g drunk were you?"
She roared at me in my mind...
Then she opened her eyes, she jumped off the couch, and it startled him... he moved to stand when she turned to face him... Shiro's eyes grew larger, her mouth hung agape, her fur prickled, and her snout raised into the air just a fraction... then she sniffed...
Shiro's P.O.V
Yummy f*****g yummy that smells mouth-watering... honey suckle and berries... then my eyes zeroed in on him thank f*****g fuck... mate I chorused over and over in my head and man, oh man... wasn't he just perfect? I stalked closer to him, sniffing he raised the bat he was holding and I snorted. Did he really think that was going to save him? Cute so f*****g cute, my mate is a fighter.
"Shiro... you're scaring him."
Karla mumbled, but he was anything but scared... he was cautious, yes, but not scared. I could smell fear, yet I smelt no such thing on him.
"I just want to help."
He whispered and I purred in delight. His voice. I'm so blessed. Thank you moon goddess, the wait was certainly worth it.
"I know I hurt you, but I didn't mean to, just be a good dog and sit. Allow me to check you over."
He whispered like he was talking to a baby.
Wait did he just? no f*****g way, does my mate think I am a f*****g dog? Wait, why isn't he sniffing me too? I must have knocked my head harder than I thought, he wasn't reacting to me, the way a wolf should.
"That's because he's human shy."
Karla whispered...
Then and only then did it make sense. I backed away from him, my heart tugging... the mate bond was pushing me closer to him, yet I couldn't be closer, not until we spoke to him, but damn, it was going to be hard... he looked so f*****g hot even my ovaries were singing with joy.
"Imagine how cute our pups would be."
I whispered to Karla.
"That's if he accepts us."
She whispered back.
Then he stepped towards me, hands out in front of him. He dropped the bat at some point, then he knelt down before me, keeping his eyes on me as his hands moved to my hind legs.
"I am just going to check, okay? No biting."
Karla snickered in the back of my mind...
When his hand touched my fur, an electric current zapped through my entire body and I jolted. People spoke about how intense a mate's touch was, but damn, I didn't expect that... it made my eyes roll to the back of my head... my body shook with the intensity of his touch, but he mistook my reaction for something bad.
"Hey, you're going to bite me while I am not looking? How is that fair hmm? All I am trying to do is check to see if you're okay."
Oh no buddy, that's not what my reaction was about.
Goddess, he smelled good. I lowered my head, turning away from him, he nodded then went back to checking, not that he was going to find anything I'd already healed, but if it meant his hands on me, then why the hell not touch all you want mate... Then something hit me... how the hell was I going to tell him I was not what he thought I was?
"And what's that? Because mate thinks you're a dog, a very large dog."
Karla was having the time of her life laughing at me, so I ignored her.
"You seem to be okay. Maybe you just passed out due to the shock, but I could have sworn. Your legs were hurt, even your eye had blood on them, but when I checked there was nothing but blood."
He said more to himself than me.
"There is one more thing you need to know?"
karla said...
"What now?"
I groaned. She's been giving me bad news ever since I woke up.
"It's him."
