Mate

Tony grabs a chair and slides into the seat next to me and I'm now sandwiched between him and Lexi.

They're both staring at me, studying me like I'm a specimen in a science laboratory.

"What??" I ask offering them a confused expression.

"Your facial features are perfect.." Lexi says and Tony nods in agreement still looking at me like I was a specimen.

"I do photography and I would like you to be my muse.." Tony says with a smile, as if that's a normal thing to ask people you just met.

Before I can answer the door to the classroom slams open and a boy barges in, moving his eyes around like he's looking for something.

His eyes land on me and he's staring me deep in the eyes. Is he going to ask me about my hair too?

"Who is that?" I whisper to Lexi.

"That's Reece. He's like one of the hottest and most popular guys in school..." Lexi answers.

"Does he normally just barge into places like this?" I ask her, my eyes still on the boy because he's still just standing there, looking at me.

"Not usually.." She says.

He walks over to where Lexi, Tony and I are seated and now he's towering over us. He looks taller up front. Lexi and Tony bow their heads as if they're scared of him or something.

"You.." He says with a deep voice.

"Me?" I ask him, pointing my index finger to my chest. He gives me a confused expression as if he expected a different reaction out of me.

Just as he's about to say something else the teacher walks into class. "Alright everyone, settle down and open your text books to page 30."

Um.. excuse me. What the hell was that?

Lexi and Tony don't raise their heads until the strange boy is out of sight.

"What was that about?" I ask Lexi and she just shrugs giving me a nervous smile.

******************************

The first two Classes are over and it's lunch time now.

"You can sit with us for lunch." Tony says while packing his stuff into his bag.

"Sure." I say standing up.

I'm about to follow Lexi and Tony out of the class when a hand grabs me and pulls me out of the classroom with so much force I almost stumble in my tracks. Before I know it I'm in an empty classroom with the boy from earlier. Lexi said his name was Reece right?

Is he mental?

"Mate.." He growls.

"Excuse me, what?" I say rubbing my arm at the spot where he grabbed me.

"Mate.. We found you." He says again his voice a little bit deeper this time.

I raise my brows at him not knowing what to say. This has definitely got to be some prank. They probably have a tradition here of pranking every new student who comes here.

Yep, that's what this is...

"What are you talking about?" I ask him again with a raise of my brow, titling my head to the side.

"What are you playing at..?" He asks, a look of confusion on his face.

"What are YOU playing at? You're the one who grabbed a complete stranger into an empty classroom and started saying weird stuff.." I tell him raising my voice slightly.

"How old are you?" He asks moving closer.

"What?" I ask him confused.

"I said, how old are you?" He asks again, his voice more demanding this time and I suddenly feel the urge to give him an answer.

"17.." I state simply.

"You don't know..." He says and storms out of the classroom. Leaving me there in a confused state.

IM SORRY, WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?!?

****************************

I get out of the classroom and head over to the lunch room, scanning it for Lexi and Tony. My eyes land on them and thankfully they're alone.

I'm not really in the mood to meet any more new people.

I walk over to them and slide into a seat next to Lexi.

"Where did you go??" She asks with a worried expression on her face.

"That guy who dragged me out of the classroom took me to an empty class and started saying weird stuff... Is he like... mental?" I ask her

"What did he say to you?" Tony asks.

"Nothing really...He just said mate and asked me how old I am and stormed out. It was pretty weird.." I say to him.

They shoot each other some weird look and look back at me.

"What?" I ask them.

"Nothing. That was pretty weird indeed..." Lexi says but she sounds nervous.

***************************

"Did you make any new friends honey?" Mom asks as we eat dinner.

"Yeah. A boy and a girl. They were really nice to me and they let me sit with them during lunch." I tell her

"Told you so.." My dad says with a triumphant smile.

"You're turning 18 this Saturday, so I guess it's nice that you made some friends already. You can invite them over or you guys can go watch a movie together or something.

Good thing it's on a weekend so you'll have the whole day to yourself." My mom says with a grin.

We finish dinner and I go up to my room. I grab my phone smiling at the messages that Charles left me.

Charles : Pumpkin

Charles : Hey beautiful, text me.

Charles : Staring at the sunset again, thinking about you.❤

Me : Hey love bird

Charles : Finally... I was starting to think you forgot about me.

Me : Sorry, dinner took longer than expected today.

Charles : How was your first day?

Me : Not bad. I made friends.

Charles : That's great. You'll feel at home in no time then.

I contemplate on whether to tell him about the weird boy from earlier but I then I quickly decide against it. I don't want him to worry.

Charles video calls me and we spend one hour together on the phone before I hang up and start working on my assignments.

Today wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Except for that boy.. Reece.

He had long dark brown hair tied in a low ponytail and his eyes were the same color as mine.

    "Tilt your face towards the sun a bit Morgana.." Tony says and I obey, angling my face towards the light. Tony asked to take some pictures of me for an art exhibit he is working on and well, I said yes. It's not like I have anything better to do anyways. "Should we be doing this during lunch time. Don't you want to take pictures outside? In the sky? With nature?" I ask him with a raise of my brows."Yeah yeah, we'll definitely take pictures of you outside. I'm just taking these ones now cause I can't get over how amazing your features are. I could photograph you all day.." Tony says to me with a grin on his face. "You're scaring her Tony.." Lexi says and I chuckle at her. "This is like..the second time you're eating just apples for lunch." Tony says with a confused expression. "Yeah, my mom always makes me a heavy breakfast before school so I generally don't get hungry until around 2pm. I only eat lunch in school on days whe

    "What do you mean you have so much to tell me? You don't even know me.." I say to the strange boy and he just looks ahead saying nothing. "Um, what my friend here meant to say is that he's terribly sorry for dragging you into an empty classroom the other day. He usually has more manners, he just got excited when he saw you.." Aaron says and Reece snaps his head at him passing him a distasteful look. "Why would he be excited to see me?" I ask confused because I have no idea what is going on. "Also, we've been on the road for 15 minutes. Where exactly is this shop located?" We've been driving for a while now and we've passed a lot of shops, some of which I thought he was going to make a stop at. I thought maybe he has a special place where he always goes to get drinks but I'm getting kind of uneasy now. I'm so stupid. I shouldn't have gotten into a car with two mysterious boys I know nothing about. What if they're kidnapping me? What

    "Okay I get it. You guys are good but you can bring out the cameras now.." I say and they all give me serious looks. "This isn't a joke honey.." His mother says staring at me intensely. The woman walks closer to me and grabs my palm giving me a look that says I can trust her."We're Reece's parents. This is no joke. What we're about to tell you will change your life forever so we need you to be very attentive okay?" She says to me slowly in a soothing voice sounding more serious than she was before."I really have to get home...My parents will be worried. " is all I can bring myself to say because right now I'm extremely confused and all I can think of is my mom and how worried she must be right now. "How about you give us thirty minutes of your time so we can explain everything to you and then you can leave...Reece will drive you home to ensure you're safe. Please?" She asks kindly and I hesitate for a bit before nodding at her. Thirty minutes for them to explain what the hell is

    I walk into the house and my mom and dad basically bolt towards the door and hug me in unison. "Honey, where were you?? Are you okay? Did something happen?" My mom asks, fear and worry in here eyes. "Where were you Morgana? You had us worried sick about you!" My dad says. "I sent you a text mom. I told you I'd be a little bit late today.." I tell her"Yes but that doesn't keep me from worrying. You gave no context whatsoever, plus we're in a new town. We don't know if it's safe to be out this late honey.." My mom says, concern in her words. "I'm sorry. I was at my friend's house. Studying for a quiz we have tomorrow. I kind of lost track of time." I lie. They give me weird looks probably not believing a word. I've never lied to my parents before but Reece and his family think it's best if they don't know anything about all of what they told me. About the fact that I'm a wolf and that they're not my real parents. "T

    "Yeah yesterday was pretty intense..." I tell Lexi and Tony as we sit around on the lunch table. "Sorry we didn't tell you anything." Lexi says with an apologetic smile. "It's okay. Reece told me he made you guys shut up about it." I say"Yeah we kind of figured it out when you said he called you his mate.." Tony says. "Which begs the question, how do you plan on telling him you have a boyfriend..?" "Tony, keep your voice down... I haven't told him yet. But well, I plan on telling him today.." I state. "Good. Because you have to break up with that human guy and focus on Reece." Lexi says as she chews on the potato chips in her plate. "His name is Charles and I'm not going to break up with him.." I declare and Tony basically chokes on his food. "What?!?" Lexi exclaims. "I love him and this whole mate things doesn't change anything. Can't Reece just find another mate or something?" I say seriously.

    Reece pulls up in front of a tiny cute shop that reads "Pop's". "Pops'?" I say to him with a smile raising my brows. "Yeah. It's owned by an old man who is a member of the pack. The werewolves love coming here and everyone loves pops, plus he makes the best milkshakes." Reece says with a grin. We get into the booth and my eyes land on a man who appears to be in his sixties. He's short and round and has the cutest beard. "Reece, my boy! Come in, come in." He says as he walks over to Reece and gives him a bear hug. "Ouch Pops. You're going to squeeze me to death.. " Reece whines. "I've missed you boy! You haven't been here in a week! A whole week! What happened? Did you find another old man more interesting than me??" Pops asks pouting his lips. He's so cute. "Never. It'll always be you Pops." Reece says with a cute smile. "Who's the fine lass Reece?" The man asks offering me a warm smile. "This

  • MORGANA    Goodnight, mate.

    Reece and I exchanged numbers after he dropped me home from Pops' yesterday and for some reason I've been expecting him to message me. He hasn't though, at least not yet. I put on my soft Peter rabbit flip flops and walk over to my window to watch the sunset. The sight of the sun setting gives the sky a sort of reddish orange look and it makes me think about Charles. With all that has happened since I learnt about my true nature, I don't know what will become of Charles and I. Lexi and Tony won't shut up about this whole mate bond thing and it's driving me nuts. It all sounds like a fairy tale to me. My phone buzzes and I reach for it to check the notification. Reece. A small smile appears at the corner of my lips. Reece : Your birthday is after tomorrow. Me : Yes it is. Reece : You'll hear your wolf's voice for the first time. Me : Apparently. Why is he stating the obvious?Reece : I want to be with you when it happens. Me : Why?Reece : You'll get your wolf and wolf senses

    "What the hell is going on??" I can hear a voice which sounds like Reece's mom's. There are other people in the room. Lexi, Tony, Aaron, the Beta, The alpha and his wife. They all seem very blurry because my eyes are covered in tears and I can barely get any word out because the pain I feel right now is unbearable. "Lexi and I will take care of her parents." Tony says as he pulls Lexi out of the room. "It's wolfsbane. It has to be." Aaron says from somewhere in the room. "Reece, Reece it hurts. Make it stop, please." I feel Reece's hold tighten around me. "Someone gave her a drink. Some waiter.. I should've been more alert.." Reece says and I can feel anger radiating off him."Reece, this isn't your fault. He probably put something else in the drink so we wouldn't be able to detect the smell." The alpha says. I grab onto Reece's arm and the pain just got worse and... why the fuck and I getting horny now. I feel the pain rushing through every part of me and I feel an impossible

    Today's Saturday. Today's the day everyone finds out I'm Reece's mate. Today is the day I'll probably start getting treated differently by every member of the pack. I told my parents I got invited for a party and they didn't even ask too many questions as they were going out for a date themselves. Reece's house is stuffed in all corners with literally every member from the pack. "You have to calm down." Reece says to me, sitting on his bed. He's so nonchalant about all of this. "How could I possibly calm down? Everyone is here and they'll all be looking at us tonight." I complain. "They all better be. You're the most beautiful being in the whole world tonight." He says walking over to me. He grabs by hand and intertwines our fingers and I feel every part of me wanting to move closer towards him but I fight the urge. "You have to stop doing that." I state."Doing what Morgana?" He asks, raising his brow. "Touching me. I don't know how many times I have to tell you this but..

    Reece brought me to a field after school for a picnic. It's massive and it's probably the biggest field I've ever seen. The grass is the perfect shade of green and we're seated under a huge tree somewhere in the field to shade ourselves from the sun. Reece brought so many snacks and of course, apple pie. I know I said this wouldn't be a date but it sure looks a lot like it. How was he even able to get all of this ready in such a short amount of time?"I told my mom I'd be late today, but that doesn't mean I can be here all day. I still have that calculus assignment to do before tomorrow, and I have to study and.."Before I can finish Reece grabs my arm and looks me deep in the eyes. The movement sends electricity up every single nerve in my organism. "I know Morgana.. We won't be long. If you like we can do the assignment right now.." He says. "No that will only take up more time." I say in a whisper, unable to speak cle

    "Come back home Morgana.. We need you. Please..." I flutter open my eyes and the rays from my window attack my sight. Was I dreaming? I heard a female voice, asking me to come home? I shake my head and get rid of the unnecessary dream, preparing to get ready for school. I kind of miss Lexi and Tony. Can't wait to see them today. I get ready and have breakfast and in a few minutes my mom drops me off at school. "Have a nice day, honey.." She waves me goodbye. "Look who's 18 and glowing.." Reece appears from behind me. "Are you following me?" I hiss at him. "I go to this school too, remember?" He answers and slips his fingers into mine, intertwining them. "What are you doing?" I ask him in a whisper. It's already bad enough that I'm getting butterflies from him being this close but now that we're holding hands my entire body is set on fire again. "Holding hands with my mate, the hottest girl I've ever laid eyes on.." He says with a smirk. "You said you wouldn't flirt with me a

    "Is it because of that guy that came over earlier?" He suddenly asks out of nowhere which surprises me because I've never known Charles to be the jealous type. "What?" I ask surprised at the tone in his voice. "That guy. I saw the way he looked at you, the way you looked at him. He clearly wasn't happy about seeing me.." He says moving closer to me. "You just met him. You don't even know him." I defend. "I'm a guy Morgana. I know when another guy is interested in a girl. And you have to admit the fact that you had a sleep over at his place sounds kind of shady.." He says. "You don't know what you're saying.." I tell him. "Morgana, I love you. I love you so much. I've never doubted you before. Not once have you ever made me feel like I can't trust you. But lately, all these late replies and missed calls and sleep overs at a boy's house, I'm beginning to doubt you a bit here..." He states. "Charles..." I say with a

    "Charles??" I exclaim with a shocked expression on my face. What is he doing here?? "Happy Birthday Babe.." He says as he walks towards me and engulfs me in an embrace. I stare at him in awe and shock. Okay, I totally wasn't expecting this. Talk about bad timing. A wave of guilt washes over me as I remember what happened between Reece and I. I cheated on my boyfriend. Oh God.."Charles, what are you doing here?" I ask giving him an awkward expression. "Not the reaction I was expecting. Aren't you happy to see me babe?" He asks with a pout. "No, of course I am. I'm just surprised is all." I was telling the truth. I am very much happy to see Charles. I've missed him a lot but right now all I feel is guilt and shock and I can't stop thinking about Reece and now Charles is here and this is all very confusing. My wolf won't shut up inside me. 'Tell him to get his hands away from us!' My wolf complains from inside me. 'Shut up. He's human and unless you want him to find out about us,

    I open my eyes and meet a chest, a shirtless chest.My head is resting on his chest and immediately my eyes come in contact with his body, shivers run down my spine. My eyes travel from his abs, to his V line to his perfectly shaped jawline. 'He's so gorgeous.'. I think to myself. 'I heard that.' A male voice says in my head. 'huh?' I think mentally.'You just called me gorgeous. I understand you though, I look pretty great.' The voice says again. "You can read my mind??" I ask loudly making Reece open his eyes. "Don't worry Morgana, I'm all yours to gawk at. And yes, I can read your mind.." He answers"How?" I ask him curiously. "We're mates, we can mind link.." He states simply. "That is very intrusive.." I say with a frown. "Not if we're mates.." He declares. "How did we fall asleep?" I ask him."We got drunk and had crazy wolf sex and you were so tired you passed out.." He answers with a grin. I open my eyes widely and my mouth falls open in shock. "I'm kidding Morgana.

    "You feel that?" He asks....I look at him and nod. I feel everything. The wind flowing through the windows feels heavier on my skin. I can see everything more clearly, I can hear the sound of my heart beating. I feel energy surging through me and the smell of everything feels magnified. "I feel great!" I exclaim and grin widely. 'Hello...' I hear a thick female voice talk from inside me and I flinch a bit at the unfamiliar feeling. It feels like there's someone else residing in a chamber in my spirit, and I feel like I can trust her. "Reece I just heard her. She said hello!" I touch Reece's hand and my eyes fly open as I feel electricity surge through me and Reece inhales sharply. I quickly withdraw my fingers from his hand and we make eye contact for a long while. I feel a pull towards him and I instinctively move closer to him. 'Mate!' The voice says again from inside me and it feels lik

    "You guys ready?" Reece asks Tony, Lexi and I as we stand in the parking lot and we all nod. "Tony and Lexi, you guys ride with Aaron. Morgana is riding with me.." He says and doesn't even give me time to object as he grabs my hands and leads me towards his car. "Can you like, not grab me?" I say to him annoyance in my tone. "What? I can't hold my mate's hand?" He asks with a smirk and opens the passengers' seat for me. He gets into the driver's seat and leans his head back letting out a heavy sigh which makes his chest rise in a satisfying way. He catches me looking and a smile appears on his lips. "It's rude to stare." He says and I roll my eyes looking away from him. Reece is really handsome. He's gorgeous even.. He has perfect hair, and perfect brown eyes, and a perfect height and a perfect body and...What am I doing checking him out anyways? He starts the car and pulls out of the parking lot.
