Jake has been here every day for the past week and I have been doing my very best to avoid him. It's hard and I hate to say that I have not succeeded.

At first I would leave the counter when I see him but he would wait outside until I finish my shift and I'm heading home so he can ask me out on a date.

His persistence is actually cute and honestly if he wasn't a Beta I could see myself going out with him but I am avoiding the werewolf world at all costs right now. The only thing that can take me back there would be to find my mate and as long as I stay here in this human town that chance is pretty much nonexistent.

As usual he walked in by 2: 15 pm and I watched him as he picked up the same things he always does: eggs, milk, sugar, flour, cheese, bacon and watermelons. I already know his list by heart and he never misses a single thing any day and sometimes I wonder if he eats the sam

I was already dreading the date from the moment I woke up. I went about my day with my thoughts running around in my head. In fact, I was so in my own head that customers actually noticed and Greg had to give me a ten minute break to (and I quote) 'Get my head back into the game".

'I'm perfectly fine Mrs. Wiggins," I assured her, 'I promise you."

'Well if you're sure," she trailed off as I packed up her stuff, 'I hear you're going on a date with 

I have been staying with Greg for two weeks and honestly it's not as bad as I initially thought. I was scared of him at first but now I know that Greg is just a teddy bear underneath all that aggression.

I've been helping out at his grocery store to earn my keep and so far I haven't heard or even seen a single person from my old pack. I'm finally free and it feels so good although it hasn't stopped me from glancing over my shoulder every time.

It was awkward at first having to stay with someone and accept favors from someone I don't even know but we got into an easy routine by the second day and he has only two house rules.
