Ariel let him lead her back to the bike, "Um so who was that?" She asked as Delilah stalked off she looked very upset and Ariel would have loved to talk to her if she didn't think she would eat her.
She grabbed the helmet he handed to her. If Ariel couldn't talk to Delilah maybe she could talk to Tobias.

"Delilah, my-" He stopped. His... what? Alpha. Yeah... that's what he was about to say. But even that wasn't true. "She's the Alpha of the pack." He backtracked. "What she says goes. So it's a good thing that I'm not in the pack nor give a shit."

He back tracked fast enough for Ariel to spot the lie. "Well if she isn't your Alpha then why was she so upset to see you with someone else?" Ariel asked.
"Or do you really believe she was only upset because she thought you were gonna eat me?" maybe she was pushing it but Ariel didn't really care was Tobias so blind as to not realize Delilah was hurt more then she was angry?
Ariel even caught that.

Dee transformed and tore off though the woods. She was seething mad and this close to the moon that was a really bad thing. She could hurt Toby if she lost control and she wasn't going to risk it with the human so close.
She was upset but was it because he brought a human here or whatever she was her scent was off or was it because she cared if he was on a date. Shit just when they were making progress. Dee never wanted to admit what was so painfully clear she was in love... with Tobias... she was totally in love with him in every way and this was the first time she ever admitted it. Dee thought she would be dead in the ground before she say it to herself it but there it was staring her in the face.
She couldn't hide from it any longer and if Toby was willing to throw away their moment under the trees when they thought the world was ending then it meant he didn't feel the same. She was shocked at how much that thought hurt it meant that Dee herself needed to move on. She needed to date or something a distraction.
But who? She guessed she could have her pick as Alpha but none of them seemed appealing because they wouldn't be him. She was well and rightly Screwed. She sighed and bolted after a rabbit hoping the kill would make her feel better.

Tobias turned on his heel and stalked up to Ariel, too close for comfort. "So now you're an expert on my life? Okay... well what are your thoughts on THIS, expert: my feelings for her, for ANY Alpha, are thrust upon me. Whether I actually feel them or not. That is the law. The Alpha has their pick and the chosen must submit. What do you think of THAT?"
Ariel was silent.
"Not exactly like your human ways of dating... I'd like that again. I MISS that part of humanity." He huffed. "At least love felt freeing.... not rammed down your throat!!!" He turned away sharply. He was veering into dangerous territory; being so angry and able to change into a wolf. He wanted nothing more then to take off and leave the little mermaid to fend for herself. But he wasn't THAT heartless.
But through all this anger... what he was saying... it wasn't Delilah popping into his head... it was Anita. The one who he held in such high regard, whom he swore he loved even in death... now all of their memories seemed tainted. That he had felt the love, but she had strung him along, like a puppy on a leash.

Ariel watched him, "I'm sorry perhaps that was out of line. I can only call it how I see it. Your right though I know nothing about wolf packs I had no idea you had to love someone if they chose you. That sounds terrible." Ariel admitted she knew the feeling of being trapped like that all to well.
"Does that mean Delilah chose you and you wished her not to?" She asked Ariel was never very good with censoring herself the question was out before she could stop it.

He clenched his fists. Afraid of what he might do...
Toby surprised himself.
"I... don't know..." He sputtered. He honestly didn't. "I can't... sort the feelings out." He leaned against a log, looking away. Why was he talking about this? He didn't even talk about this with DELILAH. "I was mated to the Alpha before Delilah. She was... she died. But I still feel the bond. And now Delilah..." He put his face in his hand, growling low. "I can't tell what it is I'm feeling anymore. If it's me, Anita's bond, or Delilah's Alphaship..."

Ariel looked at him, "Well I know next to nothing about wolf bonds but I do know about love and I can tell you I am pretty sure Delilah is in love with you. She looked so hurt when she thought we were together." Ariel went over and sat down next to him.
"Sounds like your pretty confused about what you want Tobias. I wish I could help you figure all that out..." Ariel was thinking for a moment.
"You know I might be able to help you figure out her feelings? Women do tend to admit things when they are Jealous... Oh what am I saying that's crazy... Of course if you know she cares for you outside of the Alpha thing then you might have a better understand of your feelings towards her might be?" Ariel looked up at the moon her idea was a bit crazy sure but she could help him or at least she hoped so.

Tobias huffed... but then he actually considered the thought, scratching the light stubble on his chin. If he knew that what she felt towards him.... whether it was Alpha-power induced or actually just Dee... then maybe it was HIM. Either way... it wouldn't hurt knowing. And to try to figure it out.
As it was, he was currently being pulled around like some lame character in a one of those gay Nicolas Sparks movies... and he didn't have time for that shit.
he leaned against a tree. "What do you suggest, mermaid?" he asked, intrigued but not showing any excitement for a plan that this little red-head could concoct.

Ariel smiled, "Well you make her jealous of course and if she really loves you it will force her to confront her feelings."
Ariel crossed her legs, "How we can do that is we pretend to be madly in love of course we have to start out small or she will catch on. How do you feel about taking me out again tomorrow?" She smirked.
"I am fairly confident this will work."

He eyed the beautiful woman up and down. For once, a woman was trying to help him get his happiness... not use him for another means. He cocked his head at her. "Deal."
"Okay... what do I do to convince her of this?" He asked. "I'm usually like it when a date is low-maintenance. And cheap... so maybe... more expensive?" He asked, Ariel's eyes trying to encourage him through his thought processes. He scratched his chin. "Maybe I should shave too..." He muttered, not liking the idea.

Ariel laughed, Well you can't changed everything about you then she would know. However we would have to date more it doesn't matter what we do we just have to look like we are having fun doing it. You have to look like your making an effort shaving could work but you don't have to. " She stood for a moment.
"We would have to spend time together your okay with that right? If it works Tobias you will know and then you can tell her how you feel. We can break up in a big fight or something." Ariel finished rather shocked he actually agreed.

"Alright." He nodded. "I work at the cannery, but I get off at five thirty. I could pick you up from your place?" He suggested. "Tomorrow?" He handed his helmet back to her, inching her back towards the bike.

"Sure works for me, oh and Toby if this works I better get invited to the wedding." She laughed to show she was kidding Ariel took the helmet. She was rather excited to go on the motorcycle again.

Wedding...
The hell...
He climbed back onto the motorcycle and revved it back up, Ariel putting her arms around his waist.
The next day after work, Tobias showered, even SHAVED, and actually put on a a button-down shirt, sleeves rolled up, and a tight fitted vest. He even put on his best dark jeans. Ariel had called him and suggested a walk down by the docks. There was a arts and crafts festival going on, so the boardwalk would be hopping with activity.
He met Ariel down by the parking area and strode up to her, scanning the crowd. "HOW will we even know she's here?" He said, glancing around, forgetting to compliment Ariel on her lovely teal dress.
