What the actual fuck are you talking about ? He snapped at me.
I’m… a werewolf. I’m the alpha of the White Water Pack and you’re my mate. That is why whenever I touch you, you feel sparks, which is our blood boiling because of the lust when we touch. The sensitivity in your neck is because that’s how we complete the mating process. That’s why I’ve been holding off on that because I needed to tell you this first.
I caught my breath as Kade’s eyes were frozen open at what I had just told him. I waited a few minutes as I let his mind wander to give him time to try to understand what I had just said to him. Please, say something.
This is a really sick joke, Joseph, he told me with a fierce tone in his voice and I could tell how angry he was by how he used my full name, which he only ever did when he was either mad or joking.
This isn’t a joke.
I don’t believe you, he snapped as he glared at me and I could feel the anger pouring off of him in waves as he tried to get me to say that this was a joke and I wish I could to make him feel better, but I just couldn’t.
I stood from my chair, motioning for him to follow me out the door. We walked in silence to the side of the apartment complex where there was enough light, but no human life, except for us. I slipped my shirt off and my pants so I was only in my boxers when I backed away from him. He crossed his arms, hating that I was going this far for some ‘joke’.
I felt the warm tingle through my body as I let my wolf start to take control. It felt like the sun was shining on my body even if it was dark. I felt my bones crack, which didn’t even phase me anymore from doing it so much since I was a young pup. I landed on the ground on my paws, shaking my fur to get all the dirt and grass off of it.
I looked up at Kade with my eyes that now appear bright blue from my wolf taking over. His eyes were wide in shock again as he tried to process all of this information that I just threw at him. Once I saw his eyes shrink a bit as some shock wore off, I moved to sit in front of him while still walking slowly to not frighten him. He kneeled down to be closer to me, but my frame was taller than him than him on his knees since I was bigger than some of the other wolves since I’m the alpha.
He giggled a bit as he ran his hand over top of my head through my fur, making my wolf’s chest puff out in pride at giving our mate enjoyment. My wolf leaned over to lick his cheek lightly, making him swipe at my fur a bit more to try to push me away.
I still think I’m going insane, he said, his smile not dropping as he kept running his fingers through my fur.
I licked his face before backing up to shift back since I realized my wolf had shocked him enough for the day. I felt the tingle coming back as I fell back on only two legs. I put on my sweatpants and t-shirt again before moving back over to him as he turns around to go back to the apartment with me following him. We get back in and sit down on the couch as he sighs to think of what to say.
White Water Pack ? He whispered, crossing his arms as he stared forward at the carpet with stressed eyes as I saw his mind running.
Yeah.
You’re the alpha ?
Alpha, the leader, yes, I tell him as he turns on the couch to face me as I could tell that he was going to ask questions to learn more about this whole situation and I was glad that he was willing to learn.
Cody is one too ?
He’s my second-in-command, my beta and Melissa is his mate.
Melissa knows ? He asked with wide eyes as he thought about the three of us hiding so much from him for so long.
Yeah, she’s known ever since he told her after they had been dating for about a month.
I’m not insane, am I ? He asked as he furrowed his brow at this entire night.
Not whatsoever. I’m a werewolf and you did not just dream of me shape shifting.
Mate ?
You’re my mate, which basically means that we were put together years ago by the spirits, which is also called the Moon Goddess, which is basically the werewolf version of Mother Nature in a way. It just means that we were meant to be together, kinda like soulmates.
He closed his eyes to rub them, shocked as I told him the news of us basically being soulmates and destined to be together for life. He decided to change the subject. Tell me about your pack.
We have about 650 members in our pack and we all live in a neighborhood that’s known as our camp. There are houses where each family is designated to live. There’s the Quarter House which is where the alpha, beta, former alpha, and former beta live with their mates, but the former betas actually left a few months to just travel the world since they were finally free.
Why did you wait a month to tell me ? He whispered.
I was worried of if you would accept me.
Well, I’ve told you before that I don’t care who you are ; black, white, short, tall, skinny, fat, human, wolf, vampire, angel, and whatever the hell there is.
I chuckled. Only human and wolf as I know.
He nodded and laughed. Well, okay then. Nothing has changed. I just now know more things about you, but that’s what a relationship is. We’ll keep learning things about each other, it’ll just take me some time to adjust to this huge news.
You’re amazing, you know that ? I said, moving over to pull him into my arms.
I think I did, he joked as he set his head on my shoulder.
He moved back to put our lips together and I kissed him back with everything in me to tell him how much I truly cared about him. I bit down on his lip, making him moan against my mouth as I reached up to set my hand on the back of his neck while his hands rested on my thighs just above my knees.
He pulls away to set his forehead against mine and look into my eyes. Thank you for telling me, I can’t even imagine how hard it was for you.
I just wanted you to be happy, baby boy, I told him, running my hand through his hair as he sighed in contentment or stress, I couldn’t tell which one.
I am so happy to be with you. I guess you’re kinda stuck with me now, huh ? He said with a chuckle, rubbing our noses together slightly, making me close my eyes as our skin exploded with sparks.
And I am so glad I am because you’re everything I could’ve asked for.
Joey’s POV
Kade and I laid in bed with the TV playing Friends since that’s our show that we always watched when we were about to go to sleep. After we ate the food, we watched a movie that we ended up not watching because we just made out the whole time.
So do you have like amazing hearing ? Kade asked as he turned to face me while my hand kept moving through his hair because it was a good way to help him fall asleep.
Yeah, we can hear things from a mile away when we’re in wolf form, but it’s not too much better when we’re still humans unless it’s our mate, I tell him. He’s been asking questions all night to get more information about all of this.
What makes it different between mates and a regular couple ? He asks, making my heart flutter at the fact that he was still here with me even though he had a perfect chance to leave at the sign of danger.
Well, when we mate, I will bite the place between your neck and your shoulder and that’s known as the mating mark and it makes it talk to each other through a ‘mind link’, as we call it.
