Game of Destiny (Amie and Finlay) novel Chapter 112

Cahpter 112-1

“Put on a nice dress and wait for the Alpha to come and get you,” Shelly told me.

“What? Why?” I asked.

“It’s called a date. The Alpha tells me you two only have been on one of those. He is planning on taking you on number two today.”

“Oh. That’s nice. Why are you telling me this and not Finn?” I asked.

“Aren’t you just full of questions? He is busy doing all the planning and scheming. Just get ready.” I smiled and nodded. Something about this made me feel all giddy. I had never done the dating thing and I was looking forward to it.

‘Would the rust reed dress be good for a date?‘ I asked Medow in a mindlink. She knew my clothes better than me.

‘No. Well, it would be, but you have used it a couple of times. Wear the turquoise with the red pattern,‘ she told me.

‘Thank you!‘ I showered and got dressed. I wondered if I needed a jacket or a cardigan. I decided the spring evening was warm enough to skip it. Then I waited. An hour later I heard the door opening and I hurried to meet Finlay. He was holding a picnic basket in one hand and a big colourful bouquet in the other.

“Wow. You look amazing!” he told me. Then he looked a little lost. “I didn’t think this through. I have no hands left,” he said. “Here. This is for you. I had to buy them this time,” he said and handed me the flowers.

“Thank you. They are beautiful,” I told him as I accepted them. When Finlay had a free hand, he used it to pull me into him and kiss

me,

“Not nearly as beautiful as you are. I’m waiting for the day when you don’t steal my breath away when you enter a room, but you

still do,” he said. I blushed.

“You are being more perfect than usual,” I told him and let my free hand play with the locks of hair falling over his neck. It was

about time he cut his hair.

“It has been ten very eventful months. We haven’t had as much alone time as I would have wanted.”

“It comes with running a pack,” I said. “I don’t mind. I get to spend most of my days with you.” He hummed.

“But sometimes it’s nice to do something just the two of us,” he pointed out.

“It is,” I agreed. “And we have been getting some one on one time almost twice a day.” He chuckled.

“True, I’m very grateful about that. Now we will go on our second date. It will be a bit different,”

“Really? How so? You are making me curious,” I told him. He laughed and kissed me.

“I love how excited you are. It’s nothing fancy.”

“I don’t care. You have taken the time to plan something just for me. Fancy enough for me.”

“So. I have put together some food for us. My aunt helped me, but I did a lot of it on my own. I have also packed a change of clothing for myself. We will go outside. I will shift and you will climb on to my back and put on a blindfold. I will take you to where we are going.

“I’m going to ride on your back?” I asked. It wasn’t unusual for a wolf who mated with a human to carry them on their back during

runs. Or for a wolf to carry an injured friend on their back, but I had never done it.

It’s the easiest way to get you where we are going without you knowing where we are heading.”

This sounds like so much fun,” I told him and gave him a long kiss.

Enough of that, or we won’t leave the house,” he growled. I giggled

“Just let me put the flowers in some water. I really love them.” Soon we stood outside, me with the basket and a blindfold in hand. “Strip,” I happily told him. Finlay chuckled and stripped. Soon his blond wolf stood in front of me. “Are you sure you can carry me?”

‘Just get on my back, Red,‘ he mindlinked. I swung myself onto his back and tried to find the best place to sit. Then I put the blind fold on. Took a firm grip on Finlay’s fur and the basket.

“I’m ready,” I said. Finlay started walking at a slow pace. It was a strange sensation. Finlay’s soft fur caressed my legs and sent sparks over my skin. I gently swayed from his movement. In the beginning I knew where we were heading, but I soon lost my way. I could tell we had entered the forest, as I could hear the branches moving in the slight breeze and the animals. The air smelled of spring and new beginnings..

“Wonderful. I really like this,” I told him.

‘My wolf is enjoying himself, as am I. Can I move a little faster?‘

“Go for it.” When he picked up speed, I needed to use my leg muscle to hold on. There was something thrilling in moving at a rapid speed without knowing where we were going. I trusted Finlay completely and knew that as long as I was with him, I was safe. After a while, we slowed down and finally we stopped.

‘Can you get down without removing the blindfold?‘ Finlay asked in our link.

“I’ll take the basket. Give me two minutes,” he said and kissed me. After what felt more like ten, he came back and took one of my hands in his. “Go ahead and remove the blindfold.” I did as he told me and my breath was lost. We were at the viewpoint looking out over the river and the mountains. The place Finlay had taken me when we had our first talk and then when I first shifted. Now the space was full of lanterns with lit candles, a blanket was on the ground and food containers stood on it. Finlay stood in front of me in a suit. “Surprise?” he asked.

“Very much a surprise. I love it, it’s perfect. Thank you, honey,” I told him and took a step forward so I could kiss him. He wrapped his arms around me as we slowly kissed, enjoying the moment to its fullest.

“There is one more thing,” Finlay said as we stopped kissing. He didn’t move away, or let go of my gaze. He took a small remote out of his pocket and pressed a button. Soft music started playing. I drew in a breath in surprise. “Will you dance with me?” he asked.

“Always,” I told him. His hold on me shifted slightly and he took my hand in his as he gently led me in a dance to the music. It was just as magical as the dancing at the formal dinner. We danced through the sun setting and when the moon and the lanterns were the only thing lighting up our special place, we sat down on the blanket to eat. We fed each other from the finger food. Finlay had quickly become skilled in the kitchen and the food tasted amazing.

“Are you excited about tomorrow?” he asked when we were full and had cleared space on the blanket for us to lie down and look at

“I am. I can’t believe we are this close to finalising an alliance with my old pack. It has gone so much better than I ever could dream of,” I told him and interlocked our hands. I knew he had struggled at times to keep his temper in check when James had seemed to space out, getting a dreamy look on his face. Finlay had been amazing. He had just smiled at me and placed a kiss on my cheek or hair. It was enough to pull James out of his zoned out state. Fortunately those episodes had become more rare the longer the talks had gone on.
