At Wind Winders Pack, the same time:
Curtis was training by himself, pushing up a weight, when he felt a presence behind him.
Turning around, he saw Penny, the girl whom his cousin had rescued during the problem that had ensued during his birthday.
"Hey…What are you doing out here? It's still early." He queried, staring at her all over. She was looking very beautiful as usual, but she wasn't his mate.
If he hadn't hung his boots on flirting and sleeping around, he was sure that he would have loved to bed her, but since he turned eighteen, he hasn't been interested in tasting any girl who wasn't his mate, to the annoyance of the girls in his pack. He was very handsome, and a lot wanted a taste of him, before their mates came along.
He also wasn't interested in her, because he didn't really know her. For some reason, she had refused to go back to her pack, and his father had allowed it.
