JAYDEN'S P. O. V
Jayden was surprised when Lucas pulled him one side. Honestly if it wasn't for Toby they would probably still be good friends but right now to him, family his more important.
"Jayden. I know you like Toby and I do not want us liking the same guy to ruin our friendship. But he is my fated, I saw him first and I imprinted on him. Do not tell me you cannot sense it. His mine. That is why I ask you as a friend to back off."
Blah. Blah. Blah. Say what you must, Lucas is a great guy. Such a great guy that he thanked fate, Toby was to be mated to someone like this alpha before him. He is grateful because he knows Lucas will definitely take good care of his cousin. Well with that have been said it was really unfortunate he is having so much fun to stop.
"A- your statement is far from accurate. In fact it far from factual that I have to apologize. I cannot take a step back, Toby means the world to me. I do not want to, actually cannot let him go even if his yours. I know you imprinted on him but you do not realize it but we are fighting for the same thing. Which is Toby's happiness."
Jayden laughed thinking back. Leo's visits have been extensive as of lately. Since the allegations of him being in a relationship with Toby. His little wolf is possessive of him and all it took was jealousy, wow. Yeah sure. Lucas did imprint on Toby but again that is technically still not even close to a claim. Either way he is still unaffected (disinterested) since he does not like Toby the same way he does. Till now Lucas does not know why he is so close to Toby that means there is no way Leo does too.
Even if his little adorable beta fails to acknowledge his jealous. Until the very end he will enjoy his clingy, passionate, possessive side of his mate. Mate, his certain just because his beta it does not mean they cannot be together. The information of their relation will be kept hidden for now, he needs Leo to have feelings for no one but him.
The only thing that managed to break the tension was Leo entering the room. If his interest was not clear it was now because when he entered and saw him in Toby's room. His fated fist his hands into two furious balls and the silent anger was extremely loud. Yes. Precious. Dammit. Like an igniter Toby stepped out the bathroom, half the fuck naked. (Shit his frozen in shock) His protective instinct was to push his frozen in shock cousin's back into the bathroom when he felt Toby's embarrassment run all the way to his eyes.
It took him a while actually act fast before Toby starts crying, his cheeks are pink and eyes glossy... His cousin still stood there awkwardly. His fair chest visible for all to see. He was not muscular nor was he soft, his modesty thankfully was hidden by a towel he clutched onto. Lucas' lust and now Leo's anger as he stood there eyes shifting, darting from him to Toby. He instructed Toby to follow him, of course the fool hesitated and bowed his awkward greetings before following him back into the bathroom.
Both alpha and beta studied the omega relationship before Jaydend disappeared in the bathroom the scent of jealousy kissed his senses. His wolf celebrated internally if you listen closely enough you would hear his wolf howling. Beta, alpha fated mating were extremely rare next to impossible but he did not care he was excited.
.
"What the heck are you all doing in my room?"
"Lucas invited me to tell me he still has feelings for you and Leo just showed up."
"So, can I finally tell him? You know how hard it is keeping this whole thing a secret. If or when we are to date, we would be required to be honest with each other right?"
"Right Zippy. Toby, there is nothing more I want than for you to be happy. I do think highly of your mating choice but please keep this secret for a little longer. I do need to make sure he treats you like you deserve to be treated, here put on my shirt. I will chase the guys out while you dress."
Nodding Toby obediently followed not questioning his orders and Jayden stepped out shirtless, to a new addition that could alter things. Noah. Noah is yet to spill the beans, he knows everything and him.
Despite the two (Noah and Toby) growing up together, the pack thought at some point the two would end up together. It is now safe to say they were all dead wrong, they all found they fated mates in different packs. Jayden's gaze encouraging the smiling man to keep his mouth shut before facing the two furious man that reeked of jealousy.
"Let us give the omega space to dress. Noah. My junior let us go for a walk."
"Haha. I'm only following because I am sure what you about to say is more interesting, than waiting for little Zippy to finish dressing. Quick question before our walk. Did any of you see Alex?"
Shaking their heads in the negative Noah sighed out his disappointment and followed Jayden down to the beach. Standing at a location that would allow them complete privacy.
"How long are you going to mess with their minds?"
"Lucas? Not long enough, I am sure Zippy will tell him everything soon enough?"
"Then what's up with the privacy? Don't you think your boyfriend will blow a fuse?"
"Keep this to yourself and focus on screwing up your own conquest. She asked to stay for the next two days in my room. So here is a suggestion, focus your free time and energy on trying to actually get to know the crazy woman."
"I don't suppose you will tell me?"
"Nope. It is more interesting to experience it on your own besides this time I believe you ready for an actual relationship. Why would I ever make it easy for you? Noah, influence the way she sees our world and people in it."
"What does that mean? Common bro I am your junior, family friend and Toby's best friend."
"So no reason. Good."

LEO'S P. O. V
Why did he enter the bathroom with Toby? He doesn't like the thought of his Jayden being with another, seeing it was worse. Tears. Ugh. Damn him to a place below hell. In fact worse than hell. Screw it, damn him to hell.
So his with Toby? Are they dating? Doing what they are doing? Why Toby? He is Lucas's fated mate. Ugh the taste of his name had the ability to aggravate his peace of mind. His breaking point was when he had the audacity walk out half naked out of the bathroom.
They (Jayden and Leo) were not even the closest thing to exclusive but he could not help the overwhelming sting of jealousy. No just thinking about what they could have done for the three minutes, forty five seconds while they were in there... he could tell that Lucas did not bode well either.
When Jayden decided to take Noah an alpha to discuss what the hell just happened, he envied how much Jayden cared for Toby. Rejection and uncertainty played its normal tug of wars. Seeing Toby's shadow draped in his shirt, should have been enough to let him admit defeat but that demanding asshole is his. Dammit. Let. Him. Go. He believed Jayden was the furthest thing to an asshole to cheat on a person he was dating by being intimate with another. Fuck. But they are not dating.
[He would never do that to us. Give him the benefit of the doubt, he surely recognize us-]
Shut up wolf! Did you forget about, Uhm Toby?! He reminded his wolf forcing his tears to be banished to another planet, another universe. Both man (Lucas and Leo) had no way to express how they felt. Both lost in different thoughts and now he did not have the will, to continue to place a front so he walked away.
It is totally his fault he pushed him away. Practically used his body to pleasure his own. He said he belongs to him not so long ago (he reasoned at the attempt to not let go). That was definitely the heat of the moment speaking compelling his idea to claim. His more of an idiot to even consider the claim. They could never be together, it was unknown for an alpha and beta to want to be together. Why the hell did he think it is such a good idea to even consider trying? Fuuucccckkkk.
He is too close to Toby and he can not fault the kid because it was hard to hate him (believe me I tried). Okay Leo, man up. He made his choice. There was no choice to begin with. Suck it up. Move on. Alpha's always go for omegas anyways, for more than a thousand years that has always been rule number one. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. (If my heart were to be chips he almost went all in...) he did not anticipate it would be a bad bet. Now his all bummed out, he lost the lead in fact in basic terms... He was like a gambler, he blew it.
Alex, is one of his best friend's and even she is currently nowhere to be seen. After taking a shower he then read a message from Alex.
LEX: <>
Screaming into his pillow, the muffled sound fucking up his brain riddled with frustration. What the fuck is going on here?! Seriously Alex has never dated or been into anyone, male or female. Why is Jayden doing this to him? Why is Jayden's escapades bothering him so much? Why with Alex?
No. Control. Breathe. When a knock sounded at the door, emotionally drained he opened without first checking who it was. He was too tired to deal with the man so when he saw who it was he tried closing the door but the man stopped the door from closing. At this point he did not have enough fucks to give.
"Get out. Uhm. Stop!"
The man trailed his fingers on the sides of his face his hand bringing him closer to an embrace, he had to stop this incredibly hot slut. He pushed him back and stared at him in disbelief, his exhaustion has to be evident.
"Stop messing with me man! Just stop. Get out. Delete my number. I'm done. I am done doing whatever this is anymore. So please, just leave and leave me the fuck alone."
"Leo."
"Please go. I am so tired. I do not know what is going on. Wait I do not need to know what's going on. I am just tired Jay. I am tired, do you understand? Please just leave, I do not want to deal with whatever this is today."
He begged with tears in his eyes. Jayden finally nod and took a step back with great difficulty. He closed the door running to his bed and he screamed in his pillow until sleep consumed him.
NOAH'S P.O.V "Alex. Common I have been here for an hour thirty minutes and thirty five, six, seven, eight-" "Just shut up. Just go to your room. I do not have time for this." The woman spat but still did not open the door, so he continued knocking looking for an alternative way in. When he found none he wondered what happened to change Alex mind about giving him a shot. The only person he spoke to was Air and that regarding the print photo- shoot to advertise the upcoming competition. "Alex, if you mad because Air. She is just-" And just as he started the door swung wide open and the beauty who has been avoiding him pulled him in. Just for a second he saw her eyes flash amber before her normal brown, is she even wolf? Regardless of nature she still looks cute even though his eyes are shooting daggers, her braided hair dishevelled and what hurt him more was the fact his dimples were nowhere to be seen. What doesshe think his relation is with the same Air he considered having casua
JAYDEN'S P. O. V"I think they might be pissed... Nothing goes past Alex's inkling suspicions, she seem to be up tight and I feel it is strange that I like that about her. She is incredibly smart, snarky but there is something else, it is something that I don't see although I know I like that she's... I don't know." Noah laid on the couch facing the cooling fan making it's rounds above him blowing wind on his flushed face. Human alcohol would never achieve this level of wasted they reached but an ancient Chinese herb that the bunch needed to relieve tension."Hey man. Yeah. You win. I will stay away from Toby. I do not want to complicate things for him. I saw what you did for him, you put him first and I respect you enough to take a step back and not intervene with your love life. I do really just want the best for the little guy, he seems to like you and today it looks like he chose you. I will take a step back." Lucas looks pained as he uttered those words. He takes a long swig of
ALEX'S P. O. VDamn Toby and his inability to keep things to himself. Technically she is no way at fault because Leo kissed her but regardless of that knowledge it does not makes sense, if by chance they did know why are they so calm? Especially Jayden. The operations of that relationship is beyond the rules of nature, alpha can not be with beta and a man cannot bed another but this world seems to be very flexible with the rules. Back to Jayden, everyone already knows how possessive he is over Leo that he is willing to forfeit the one which was destined to him. Maybe she is just tripping, perhaps Noah holding her in his very hot embrace was driving her insane because actually feels content in his arms thst she relaxed. Her wolf is bound to drive her insane, she continuously insists that the alpha holding her captive is her destined. The moment Noah got too comfortable holding her back she blurted something and hated the face she saw on Leo's face.She pulled away from her prison and s
LEO'S P. O. VThe high of ecstasy took him places phenomenal, beyond his imagination and it felt like he was riding the roller-coaster now he was coming down. Coming down the height of passion combined by love, love?No infatuation, his body is still tingling... he felt his bliss in this mans arms, never have he ever felt so whole. Wait, bliss? What followed bliss was the mounting fear of realization? Oh shit. That did not just happen! Instant panic. There is not going back now. Hell. Breathe."Leo calm down. Breathe."Calm down? The audacity of this dammed alpha! Fuck his audacity. Fighting the temptation to straggle this man who in his head has already shot the man six times.Six will not do this situation justice, seven, eight, nine, ten times! He does not get the significance of this moment to him. Damn him. Hell why does he feel like balling in tears? Damn this forsaken alpha."Common love. Breathe. What's happening?"What is happening? Indeed what is happening? Breathe? Breathin
JAYDEN'S P. O. VTheir relationship could never be for the weak. He is possessive, dominating and obsessed with his fated mate. Leo on the other hand is jealous, needy and stubborn. Their relationship was considered beautifully toxic but it worked for them.At this point every girl or guy in the University knew that they were both taken. They heard the silence groans of annoyance depending on what faculty they were in. Although when the two are together they fail to recognize whatever that was not them.(Breaking news most of the Moons in Moon University are taken. Poor everyone who did not get to shoot their shots, there is no hope now because they are happy.)Everyone there knew his possessive temperament that no one dared made and advance towards his handsome fated. His possessiveness raged mostly when his fated was on campus grounds, the humans at least knew to not touch what was his.With Leo's gorgeous skin bearing his marks of his love. They were both possessive enough they ma
ALEX'S P. O. VThings were going great between them or at least she could not argue considering the relationship she has alphas. Noah kinda made his way to her open attention. Perhaps it was vice versa but she still had that hint of uncertainty regarding involving herself with an alpha. One day Noah sent her a text during class saying:>She blushed and ignored the message, rolling her eyes as she organized the table."Ah. Leo. Do you see that?""Are you not curious Lucas?""Indeed I am. Alex your good mood, does it have to do with Toby's best friend? What is his name again?""Mmm. Noa. Nay. Navin. Nee-""For the last time it is Noah.""So do you have a thing going with this, Noah?""No. I just decided it is easier agreeing to be his friend and only his friend."She emphasized categorizing ideas on which disease they will fund with the money they collect from various ideas the entire class contributed. She was tasked with choosing a diseas
JAYDEN'S P. O. V"Leo. Love. What are you talking about? Talk to me, not at me."He orders and the hopelessness of the dreadful situation sinks in and his beta, dropped his shoulders as if at a loss. What the fuck was going on? What is Leo not telling him?"His name is Shawn. I spent a year trying to get him to notice me but he never gave me the time of day. His human. Although I also gave up on him because of my interest in Alex. You know I wanted Alex, I wanted her close even as just a friend. But there was a rumor that said Shawn always gets what he wants, it was never me but now he wants you- Jay. Jay he came from wherever and asked me for something but you pulled me away from protecting-""What are you talking about? At least finish your sentences."Before Leo could answer, his phone rang. It was an unknown number. He answered for no other reason than to end the sadness in fated mate's eye."Who is this?"
ALEX'S P. O. VRelaxed and comfortable in Noah's strong secure arms. The last thing that crossed her mind before sleep showed her the best parts of life, was Noah's last words... Trust me. Trust me. Trust me.***She woke up but now hugging Noah's pillow enjoying the scent. Weird to say she even went as far as to sink deeper into his warm pillow taking in it's dry vanilla scent or maybe it was ocean breeze. Noah spent no expense on his pillow, they are just perfect. Her eyes cracked open scouting her surroundings, eventually when she looked up her eyes met amused eyes. Oh shit. Noah. There is no way she just did that. Covering her face with the culprits hard chest, she mentally kicked herself in the ass."Hey."Perhaps if she stays still, silent and close her eyes she will not see the attractive man hence forth embarrass herself more than she already did. Then by some miracle in turn the man will not be able see her. The moment she thought it worked, a laugh bubbled from the guy and
GAB'S P. O. V "Here." He directed Toby and his friend. "This is Alex. Alex this is Gabriella but everyone calls her Gab." She never wished to give Toby a bad name ever, even amongst his friends so she willed her life to behave. She politely smiled, shaking her delicate hand. It was clear as day this omega is super high on suppressants. How do they stand the scent? Why is she taking such large dosages of suppressants? Does she not have her alpha? There are cases she has witnessed where pimps would force their sex workers to drink the drug, to of course avoid pregnancies. She was not part of the crowd but her friend was. Eventually the scent blocker became something she avoided, that drug was a reminder of a life she was grateful she was saved from. She did not want to say anything or ask in case she does have a reason to hide her nature. Everyone has to have a reason to do anything, right. Like my reason to visit Zoe as her sister, a sister that trusted an entire pack to do what
LEO'S P.O.V Everything was going well until it did not and it did not the day Jayden bit him. They are still very much interested in each other, in all aspects of the word but they grow distant as if something crucial is missing. Leo feels wrong being with his mate and there are times when he has this terrible thought that tells him this emptiness is not worth it. That he must master up all his strength and run far, very far away so that this feelings can evaporate. He knows that his logic is nonsensical, they are fated mates now and they took a literal term to 'to death do them part'. That was his decision to commit which means there's no escape from all these feelings and that knowledge is enough to make him want to cry. There are days he wanted to leave his dammed beloved. Oh, goddess of fate forgiveness but it is nothing bad he just contemplated it. Okay, it does not help him if he keep contemplating his decisions. It does not help that he keeps overthinking his situation more
LEO'S P. O. V"Happy anniversary!"A very confused Jayden walked in, exchanged his shoes for indoor flats and stared dumbly at Leo. It was yet to ring a bell."It is our first f*ckerversary. We were not together so for the years this date passed, I just let it slide but now look. Cake!"He said with a smile wide, his focus evenly distributed between the man before him and the sweetness of the cake he baked. It is not the best looking cake ever and probably tastes like diabetes more than anything. His not sure if homemade cake should give you the heartburn his currently experiencing. Jayden wouldn't judge him harshly for the thought and effort his lover put on this, cake? Okay yes, he sucks at cooking but he really worked hard on making the white covered icing cake with a 'Happy F*ckerversary' elegantly written.*This is a special moment to him that called for a major celebration in his life and of course it did not go without warning from his fathers. It is not like his going throug
ALEX'S P.O.V Self-pity, embarrassment and shame override her entire being. What the fuck is wrong with her, with her dammed nature? How the fuck did she not know? How the fuck did she not sense it? Why did her body betray her this way? She literally took suppressants not so long ago, why is this happening now to her? She huffed hands clasping the sink and she prayed the Earth have pity on her and swallow her whole. It is her body, how could she not detect the changes. She has never willingly been intimate with someone before Noah. Perhaps that is why she naturally thought the increase in her sex drive was due to the raging endorphins spurring her hormones. Argh! Common, she should have known better. She should have been able to treat every changes in his own body as they come. For goodness sake she is the damned doctor with extraordinary capabilities and she couldn't get that right? How foolish she has been indulging her uncontrollable, insatiable, irresponsible parts of herself. S
ALEX'S P. O. V"Alex girl, what took you so long? Noah."She got out and hugged Lucas and Toby. Is she at peace with the relationship? No. But she's trying to be more open to this world and she's trying to be a better friend. Her action of getting out off the car sprung up a simple question she was not yet ready to get into, right now."Alex what is this?"Shit. She literary forgot she had the bag in her hand that Toby's wolf would recognize, if he ever used it. She faked a smile dropping the bag in the front seat, as the alphas took the bags. She looks down at the fairly frozen ice cream which she handed to Toby."I don't know if you like ice cream but I've eaten so much ice cream."Without answering she jumped in the car trying to come up with a story, it's unfortunate she knows that Toby is not one to easily drop things."Thank you. Do you have a spoon? Oh and you didn't answer my question."She handed him a disposal spoon. Her avoiding answering the questionis now raising attentio
ALEX'S P.O.V "Come child." Mrs Zheng directed them to a bench and she faced her with a frustratingly unreadable facial expression. She pulled out a small bag and placed it on her hand, she took it confused as to why she was handed her this. "This is green tea mixed with ancient herbs and this helps with scent and these are the ones you chew on when you get 'stressed'." She smiled at her with so much understanding that her brain failed to register what just happened. "Huh? Wait. These are..." "Suppressants. Don't worry Xing took Noah downstairs and I cleared the yard before you got here." Huh? What? What is going on right now? She's restless and a dark part of her circled contemplating. [Finally. Now we can come out to our mate-] [SHUT UP.] She jumped not expecting the new foreign dialogue, why is she helping her deceive her son? "Hun, your scent is faint but we picked it up... I am not sure if Noah knows but you must be keeping it a secret for a reason so I am handing you th
Two days Later... ALEX'S P.O.V They were all packed up and ready to leave his family home and head back to human civilization. She definitely enjoyed staying here for as long as she did, the only family shes had for a couple of years are just Lucas and Leo. Its beautiful to be a part of a functional family for as long as she did, the people are more respectful and her wolf did not help by considering this home. She looked up at the perfect view of the woods, pack schools, play grounds and the most beautiful sunset. . . . NOAH'S P.O.V "I will miss seeing the sunset. Your family is really nice and I will especially miss eating unlimited ice cream for free." They laughed and Noah brought her closer to his embrace, he rested his chin on top of her head. He loves this, they watched every sunset since they have been here. He is delighted she likes Blue, for some inexplicable reason he really wanted Axx to view it as home. He kissed his fated mates cheek and for a few moments just to
NOAH'S P. O. V Alex usually takes forever getting ready for anything so he used Logan's bathroom to shower and change for bed. He got downstairs to see his mother patiently waiting for him to walk to her. "Mom." "How is she?" His mother pulled a seat out for him and he took it releasing a burdened sigh. "Why can I feel her emotions as of they are my own?" "Because she's unaware that she's projecting. Son you have found you fated now, you have to take responsibility and be responsible." "Mom, in case you haven't noticed she tames my wolf before she even realized she did. I have developed feelings beyond our fated bond and I've never been so lost." "She's a troubled one indeed... This is your story son. I know that I've raised you right." "You know." His mother smiles and rests her hand on his. Perhaps Alex told his mom about her previous pack and as that thought popped up her face changed to that of pity. This is how she would look at him when he failed to get some answers rig
ALEX'S P. O. V Noah left. He is gone. Did she do something wrong? Why is she being emotional? They had unprotected sex once. Fuck. No. She cannot risk getting pregnant by having unprotected sex again. She explained the whole blood situation and he was really indifferent about the disgust she expected was replace by love as well as concern. Argh, why does this man love her? She should have probably kept the whole tidbit of information to herself, that would have brought her more time to think of solutions to her current problem at hand. Basically she hasn't been 'intimate' with anyone for like more than three years and when she was intimate, her hymen did not stretch. Since she was intimate with Noah her hymen must have stretched enough to break causing the embarrassing sight this morning. So technically the person that broke her hymen is the same person that just left her alone in a big ass room. That selfish jerk left her alone with her thoughts... What if they do not work out? Tha
