I look at my phone and re-read the message again. I still can’t believe it. One of our mates has talked with Shane and Dee.
I don’t know if I’m ready or not. What if he is Finn’s mate and not mine? Am I ready for his attention to be on his mate instead of helping to calm me down all the time?
A cold chill slides through my body.
I would love to think that I am, but I know I’m not.
I glance across the dining room table at Finn.
Even though we have skipped our afternoon classes, I had hoped we could come home and just lounge around. Maybe watch some TV or play some video games. However, Finn won’t let us. He wants to study.
But my studying came to a crashing halt when I read Shane’s message in our group chat, which I’m re-reading once again. No matter how many times I read it, I still can’t believe it. Either my mate or Finn’s mate has come looking
Things are getting interesting. I can't wait to see how this goes.
Finn POV I can’t believe we are actually doing this. Well, it makes sense to have our potential mate come here. But are we sure that our mate will be willing to stay here? What happens if he doesn’t want to join our pack? No. I can’t think like that. I glance across the bedroom at Tommy, who is gathering some things from the closet. We have already decided we both will put some of our stuff in the spare bedroom, so we don’t have to disturb the mating and bonding process to come back and get clothes and other things. We will be asking a lot of the mate if he accepts everything else, but to interrupt the mating process would be too much. That may be the last straw and might push him away completely. Ugh… Why does this all have to be so difficult? Why can’t it happen just like it does to everyone else? Sigh. I turn my attention back down
I glance over towards Mason as the car continues down the road. I have no idea where I’m going, but from the constant frown on his face, I don’t think I can ask many questions.As I turn my attention back out the window and stare at the passing scenery, he growls, “It is best you don’t ask questions. I won’t answer any of them right now. They will only be answered if and when you accept your mate and you have become part of our pack. Alpha Wyatt and Luna Kane have already decided that neither Tommy nor Finn will leave the pack once they find their mates. They have gone through too much, and they don’t need to go through anything like that again. So, the only way to make sure they are protected is to make their mate join our pack and not the other way around.”I turn and look at him. Once again, a slew of questions pop up in my mind along with a slight sting in my chest.
Finn POV This is it. Owen is either my mate or Tommy’s. I wish I already knew whose mate Owen is. I pace back and forth and hesitantly glance across the room to the couch and Tommy. As I take a moment and analyze his body language, I stop pacing and stare at him. I want to ask him if he is all right, but I don’t have to. One look at him, and I already know the answer. As my werewolf eyes absorb every tiny minor aspect of Tommy’s behavior, the reality of the situation slams hard into me. I take a deep breath while his fingers fidget with the hem of his shirt. I could chalk it up to nerves, but that would be wrong. I continue to watch quietly as Tommy bites his lower lip and fear flashes across his eyes. Well, I’m not doing much better though, as another wave of panic coursing through my body. I wipe my sweating palms down the front of my jeans and tak
I don’t need to be told twice.I catapult off the couch towards my mate and pull him down the hall and into my room.Yes. It is actually happening.All my waiting is finally over. I can finally say I have my other half. I have my mate.As soon as I pull Owen into the bedroom, he shuts the door and pulls me back into his arms. He instantly takes control and captures my mouth in a passionate kiss. As soon as our lips touch, a heat pulses through my entire body and the desire to claim him consumes me.I have asked many people what to expect when I finally find my mate, and each has a similar story. However, those stories are nothing like this. Could this be because I’m so much older than everyone else?My thoughts evaporate as Owen’s large hands roam around my body. Soon, my clothes fly in every direction, and I’m standing naked in his arms. I,
What is happening? Just the other day, I was having the time of my life with Becky, and when I wasn’t with Becky, I was with Owen. But I haven’t seen my friend for a couple of days, and I’m now standing outside Alpha Dan’s office. I still have no idea why I’ve been called back to my pack. The one thing I know for sure is that this isn’t good. My gut twists while my foot frantically taps on the floor as I sit on the edge of the chair right outside the Alpha’s office. This almost feels like déjà vu. I can’t remember how many times I have sat in this exact same spot over the years. The only difference now is that my friend isn’t with me. Where is he, anyway? I have tried to mind link with him, but he has me blocked out. He has never blocked me before. Did I make him mad by starting something with Becky? My thoughts are interrupted when the office door opens, and anoth
Wyatt POV I look across my desk at my mate and my Luna. Kane and I have had so many hurdles to get past, but it isn’t anything compared to what Tommy is going through right now. I don’t know what I would have done if I had to go through anything like what the young boy is going through. Yes, I’ve had problems from time to time, but it has never been from within my pack. It has always been from someone outside the pack. Granted, losing my first mate was a tremendous blow, and I had a tough time getting through that time period, but I always had a large group of friends and family who were there supporting me. Until we found Tommy, he didn’t have anyone for most of his life. Even though he has been with our pack for several years, the scars left from his original pack and the pack’s multiple attempts at killing Tommy have left him shattered and broken. Recently, though, I could see
It has been a week and I don’t want this to end. Well, our bond won’t end, but our mating process is almost complete. I’m not kidding when I say I could spend the rest of my life lying in bed with Finn. I look at my amazing mate sleeping in my arms. How can he even be more beautiful while sleeping? I lovingly gaze at him. My eyes are instantly drawn to his pink lips, that are silently begging to be devoured. Flashes of the past week flow through my mind. I can’t keep track of how many times I have savored his luscious lips, but I have enjoyed them each and every time. Gulp. My eyes slowly slide down to his neck and land on his mark, a large wolf nuzzling a smaller wolf with the moon behind them. Perfect. A sense of pride wells up in my chest. That is my mark. He is my mate. I have finally found my other half. A smile dances across my face.&
I just couldn’t do it. I really wanted to sit next to Finn this morning, but after seeing his happy face day after day coming out of what used to be our bedroom, I couldn’t tear him away from his mate. I know it is best if I continue to spend time with him, but I also can’t even bring myself to think about hampering his joy. I have never seen him smile so much or so wide. Everyone can tell with one look he is happy. Who am I to stop it? He deserves it. I know Wyatt and Kane have talked with Owen and have told him I will share the bed with Owen and Finn. But who am I kidding? Can I really do that? They have just found each other and have mated. It would be right to get in the middle of it. Why does this have to be so hard? I sigh and look out the car’s window. My mind continues to wage a battle as I stare at the passing scenery as it zooms past. Dee shifts around in the f
