TURSTIN'S (POV)
“Has he gone?”
“Yes Alpha, Turstin, Alan took him home.”
I took a quick glance at Jerry because of what he said.
“You mean he let Alan take him home?”
“Exactly, Alpha. Seems your mate can't tell the difference between the four of you.”
I wasn't supposed to feel annoyed by this, but I just couldn't help myself.
I was mad at him for crossing the road. What a way to find my mate. Just when I had found my mate, he turned out to be a man, and not just that, my other brothers are also mated to him as well. This has never been heard of. Not in my pack, not in the packs beyond.
“Do you not think Alan will take care of him?”
“Far from that, Alan is in love and would do anything for him. What I'm worried about is how this naive mate of ours couldn't even tell us apart!” I said with so much anger.
“Oh, now I understand your pain. I'm sure I would be mad as well. But I think this is for the better, if you ask me.”
“Oh, why do you say so?”
“Actually, to be honest, this is actually the first time I've seen you so concerned about a person,” Jerry said with a laugh.
“Concerned about a person? I'm not concerned about him.”
“Oh, maybe I would have believed you, owing to how stern your face looks, but you can't deceive me. I know you care about him. If you didn't, you wouldn't have sent Thale, Cole and Alan, all to his side.”
I scoffed the minute he said the words.
“Perhaps you're forgetting the fact that they are also his mates. I can't keep them away from him.”
“Well, that's plausible, but I can tell that you care about Gael, Alpha. Don't deny it.”
I didn't say a word to Jerry, it was useless. Aside from being the healer of my pack, Jerry is also my childhood friend. We grew up together, so there is no doubt as to why he could actually tell so much about me.
“Jerry, I think I have to take my leave, since Gael is out of the hospital.”
“Hmm, okay, I have some questions for you, though.”
I paused and turned back around.
“Go on,” I said.
“I don't know if it's just my misunderstanding, but why does it seem, Gael doesn't know a thing about us?”
“About us? What do you mean?”
“Well, it was because I addressed him as the human he was, but he seemed to be confused. He asked me why I called him a human when I'm also a human. When he said that, I believed it was because he had no idea who we are, and I'm not certain that he knows about our existence.”
“I think you're right about that.”
“Isn't that going to be a problem? I mean, he's your mate, and there's no way you'll let him out of your sight, knowing this fact. But I think it might be a thing of shock to him if he ever was to find out about whom we truly are.”
I gritted my teeth, anxiously. Jerry was right, and I've been thinking about this ever since the first day. It's just complicated for me. I still don't know about my sexuality in terms of being with a man. I'm used to being with a woman, and I have no idea what it means to be with a man.
“Jerry, this is a little too complex to talk about now. Trust me, I'll find a way out of this.”
“I trust me, Alpha. This has never happened in our pack before, but I believe everyone will come to understand and also realize that the ways of the moon goddess cannot be questioned. I believe she has a reason for giving Gael to you as a mate, though he's human to begin with.”
“Thank you, Jerry, you've always been a good friend to me. I'll never forget your kindness.”
*********
While in his car, I could hardly breathe. Not because there was no fresh air, but because I was actually nervous about the whole thing. I never expected that he'd actually want to take me home.
At first, I tried dissuading him by telling him I had a roommate, which I truly had, but, Turstin wouldn't buy that. He rather moved the motion of taking me to my place personally, so he could get to meet who I stayed with and tell him to take hold of care of me.”
“Uhm, Mr. Turstin, I think it'd be better if you stopped here. I mean, you can't possibly come into my home, knowing you're a celebrity.
You want to avoid being on the news the next day, do you?”
“Hmm, you're a journalist, right? I think it'd be better if you actually carried on my news to the public,” Turstin stated with a grin.
This is strange, the Turstin I knew wasn't someone who would lie to me.
Just what is his real identity?
Knowing I couldn't stop him from taking me home, we finally stopped in front of my apartment.
He looked at the building with so much interest, which only made me feel awkward.
“So, this is where you live?”
“Well, yea. Why? Does it look too humble in your eyes?”
“No way, I don't mean that. Actually, it looks like a cool neighborhood,” Turstin stated.
He was right about that. The neighborhood was actually peaceful and safe. One of the reasons why I opted to live here.
“Uhm, Thank you so much, Mr. Turstin, I guess I'll have to leave now.” Suddenly, he cleared his throat.
“Aren't you going to invite me in?”
My heart skipped. What is this? Why does he want to come to my house?
“Mr Turstin, honestly, I'm not prepared to entertain a visitor yet, so-”
“You don't have to push me away because you probably don't want me in your home.” He interrupted.
“That's not true, I-”
“Hey, I was only kidding.”
“Huh?” He suddenly chuckled, revealing a perfect set of pearly white teeth.
I just couldn't help it. I blinked while staring at his smiling face. How can a man be this handsome?
“Why are you staring at me, pretty boy? Would you like to give me a kiss?”
Goodness? Since when did he become so naughty? I quickly turned away from him, so he wouldn't see just how red my face had become.
“Anyway, I have something for you,” Turstin says, stretching an invitation card in my direction.
“What is this?” I asked curiously, as I took the card from him.
“I'm inviting you to my party. All the details are in there, so no more questions.
“But-”
“No buts,” he interrupted.
“This is me giving you a chance to get an interview with me. “
Gael's (POV)I paced the floor of my room, and got lost in thoughts. I had many things in mind. Okay, as much as it was tempting to get an interview with this world-famous man, I just couldn't help but hesitate about the whole situation. This was because it was just too good to be true. But foremost, I need to report to my boss and explain things. This way, I wouldn't end up being laid off from work. Turstin... I hope I never get to see him again. Though he's still my first crush, not thinking about him for now will do me a lot of good. For now, I need to get it together, and go to work. I have to know the status of things. **********I walked into Mr. Graham's office, which was always open. “Hello, Mr. Graham, I apologize for not being around these past few weeks. “Mr Gael, you're finally here! Please do take a seat,” Mr. Graham said with a bright face, which made me wonder why he had such an expression. “How are you feeling now?” He asked with so much interest. “Huh?” Just th
I called for an urgent meeting with my three brothers, Thale, Cole and Alan and asked them about what they plan to do with our mate, since we all share the same mate. “Well, if you ask me, I think I want to have our mate laid already. My wolf is dying to see what our mate has got,” Alan says flirtatiously. “I second that brother, I mean he's fine as fuck! It took all the self-control in the world to stop me from kissing him until his lips begged to be freed from mine.” Thale seconded.I couldn't help but scoff at my horny, trapped brothers. I had known way before that my brothers were just too horny and might mess things up. Good thing I gave the instructions for no one to touch him yet. It was an important matter that needed careful thinking. The boy in question is human, and he doesn't know a thing about our kind, and I'm afraid he's going to reject us if he finds out. I took a glance at Cole, who seemed quiet the whole time. Ever since he found out about Gael being our mate, he
“Brother, don't tell me you agree to this madness!”“No, Cole, I know how you feel, and you might think my decision is ridiculous. But actually, I'm doing this for you and me. You don't like him, and I don't know if I like him either, so I think this will be beneficial to both of us. “I'm not interested in this shit, Turstin. I don't like men, and I don't think I'll ever bring myself to liking what I hate!“I understand you, Cole, and trust me, nobody is going to force you into doing that which you don't want. Never say never until you give him time. I'm sure we'll figure out something. We both know Alan and Thale wouldn't reject him, so it'll be terrible of us to hurt him, knowing our brothers already like him and have accepted him.”“Well, I think I understand where you're coming from, since there's nothing we both can do, let's stick with your decision then,” Cole agreed. “I have a question, though.”Cole took a quick glance in my direction. “I'm all ears, Alpha,”Cole responded
Gael's (POV)Standing in front of the coffee shop, I couldn't help but feel nervous. I met Turstin for the first time outside after our encounters at the hospital. Honestly, I don't know what to think or feel at a time like this. This was more like a date. Else, what do I call a meeting between the both of us at a coffee shop. I walked into the coffee shop and found myself a place to sit. It was quite relaxing here. Never would have thought such a place could be this warm. I looked around, and noticed that there were just a few people inside the coffee shop. But of course, Turstin is a celebrity and I don't expect to see him in a very crowded place, or do I?”“I waited for 20 minutes, while looking at the entrance, hoping to see him, but for the past 20 minutes I'd been in there, I didn't see even a shadow of him. Maybe he isn't coming. I quickly took out my phone and texted him. The last time we had a text talk, he told me he was around the coffee shop, even though I didn't see a s
I couldn't help but notice that he's this way because he hadn't had sex before. Fuck, just the way I like them. Innocent and pure. Goddess help me, I wonder how long I can control myself. I want him, fuck!“Gael, why don't you come with me, there's something I want to show you,” I said, hoping he wouldn't notice something was off.“Oh, okay,” Gael replied. I quickly stood up and led the way, while Gael trailed behind me. Since I owned the restaurant, it wasn't that difficult to find a quiet place. Knowing Gael followed me without complaints, my wolf couldn't help but feel delighted.He wanted what he wanted and so did I. The moment we were far away from earshot and the reach of outsiders, I quickly turned around and grabbed Gael by the collar and jammed him a bit harshly on the wall. Before he realized what was happening and asked questions, I immediately crashed my lips on his. And began kissing him.The moment my lips touched his, the electrifying current ignited and I almost lost
The moment I got home, the first thing I did was rush into my bathroom to wash my face. After washing my face, I looked in the mirror with a heavy breath. I still can't believe what I did back there. It was supposed to be a simple date, but it turned out wild. But then I wondered why I had to slap Turstin on the cheek. I slowly raised my right hand. I can't believe I used these hands to slap the man I had been crushing on. How stupid of me! Not only that, he had also confessed to the fact that he likes me. Does this mean our feelings for one another are mutual? If that should be the case, doesn't this mean that I have no issue with being with him, then? Arrghhh! Why am I this confused? “Gael calm down, will you? This is not a death sentence. After their first date, Turstin asked to meet him the day after tomorrow. This means I have another date with him. Jeez! I couldn't help but feel hot at that very moment. The mere thought of being with him alone, gave me this tingling kind of
********I woke up feeling happy. I hummed a song as I went about my daily routine. While I brushed my teeth, the memory of the kiss I had with Turstin flooded my memory and instantly stopped brushing. I never would have thought he would taste just as I had imagined.Does this mean those wet dreams I had about him can also be as satisfying as I felt when I had them? I quickly shook the thought out of my head. It was just too early to be thinking of such. Besides, there have never been any talks about dating. Why was he getting ahead of himself, for goodness’ sake?And besides, wasn't he the one who slapped Turstin for kissing him? He still regretted his actions, though. But still, that didn't give him the right to think about doing such things with him.After taking my bath, I prepared for work. Never to forget, I had a date with Tracy. I contemplated whether I should go to Turstin after my date with Tracy, or just come back home. This was because I was thinking about what to wear. S
What the freaking hell did I just hear? Is Tracy in love with me? Oh God, no, this can't be happening. And the worst of it all was the fact that she confessed to me. If I had known this was what she had in mind, I never would have allowed this meeting in the very first place.My heart pounded in my chest and I suddenly felt so uncomfortable. What am I going to do now?“Gael, what do you think about what I said?” Tracy asked. I could see the desperate expectations in her eyes. I blinked while staring at her. To be honest, this was all new to me. This was the first time I got a confession from a girl. I have gotten a confession before now, but it wasn't from a girl. But this time, it's from a girl, and I feel so weird about it.Just then, I cleared my throat and sat up straight.“Tracy…to be honest, you are a charming woman, and I must say that whoever gets the chance of being with you, will be a lucky man.”“Whoever? Gael, what does this mean?” Tracy asked, looking quite anxious. God
