Chapter 8

Stephen's POV

"We will make sure we have ten of our warriors at your Pack by tomorrow morning," I told Alpha Brent from the South Pack. They were one of the four packs with which we at the Crescent Pack had a treaty. 

"Thanks, Alpha Stephen and Alpha Steven,"' Alpha Brent said, and we went our separate ways.

My twin brother Steven and I are the Alphas of the Crescent Pack. My father handed the title over to us when we were sixteen. Usually, a Werewolf doesn't become Alpha until they turn eighteen, but my father had health problems, so my brother and I took over for him. 

My brother and I rushed to the car, ready to get to school.

"Hurry up, brother," Steven said, and I looked over at him with a smirk

"Someone is eager to get to school today,"' I said

 "I am not the only one ready to get there. We need to hurry up Gwen is already there with her," Steven said, annoyed and making me drive faster. 

Steven and I have always suspected that we would share a Mate. We are identical twins and have always shared everything. But we didn't suspect that our best friend Gwen would share a mate with us as well. Gwen was born a day after us, and we have always been close, she is like a sister to us. Steven and I always knew that Gwen liked girls, even though she had been dating our Beta James since freshman year.

My mom sat down with Steven, Gwen, and me. She knew that when she saw our reaction to Claire, she was all of our Mates. At the end of the conversation, we all agreed that we would be okay with sharing Claire. As long as Claire wanted all three of us, we would accept that if she decided that she only wanted one of us, we would have to accept that as well.

We all were worried about how Claire would feel about having three werewolves as her Mates. A werewolf would go crazy if their Mate didn't accept them or die from heartbreak. I just hoped that she would have an open mind. She has, too, because she was made for all three of us.

 When a werewolf turns eighteen, they can sense their Mate, and as long as their Mate is over sixteen, they will be able to feel them too. Steven, Gwen, and I turned eighteen three months ago and were mateless until yesterday night when we saw Claire.

My father's old Beta's daughter was our Mate, and when I saw her, it was like the world stopped, and there was nothing but Claire and me. I removed Monica's hands from my body immediately. Her touch was no longer pleasurable but sent an awful feeling through my body. 

Monica looked at me with a confused expression on her face.

"Baby, what's wrong?" Monica asked, and I hated that she called me baby

"We need to talk," I said and walked with her outside the Packhouse.

"Why are you acting funny, Stephen?" she asked 

"Monica, we need to break up," I said

"Why," she asked 

"I am going, to be honest with you. I found my Mate and can no longer see you," I said honestly.

"You found your Mate? Since when," she asked. 

"Since five minutes ago," I replied, and I could see when she understood what I was saying.

"That girl from outside is your Mate?" she asked

"Yes," I replied

"Well, then, you just need to reject her. She is not Luna material, and she will never have a wolf," Monica said, causing me to growl.

"You will not disrespect your Luna like that. I will let it slide just this time because of our history, but if you disrespect her again, you will be punished," I growled in my Alpha tone.

"Yes, Alpha," she said and ran away.

"Where is she?" I asked Gwen as we sat at our usual table in the cafeteria

"She should be here soon," Gwen replied

Claire walked in with Christy, one of the Pack tracker's daughters, and Justin. I stared at Justin as he walked too close to my Mate. My brother and Gwen were also glaring at Justin. 

"Why is she sitting with them? I thought you told her she could sit with us," I said

Steven, Gwen, and I watched as Jake flirted with Claire. She would laugh at his comments, making me wonder if she liked him too. I didn't like the pain coming to me thinking about that. Monica came over, sat next to me, and saw me looking over at Claire.

"Oh, Stephen, you want to get out of here?" Monica asked

"Yes, let's go," I said 

I was upset that Claire was talking to that pup. If she could be with another, then why shouldn't I

"Think about what you are doing, brother," Steven said

"I did," I replied and left the cafeteria with Monica. I looked over at Claire and saw the pain in her eyes, but I kept walking.

I took Monica to an empty classroom and locked the door. Monica began kissing me, and I felt like it was burning my skin painfully. I tried to ignore the feeling as she unzipped my pants. She removed my pants, got on her knees, and began messaging my cock with her hand. Then she started sucking my cock, but it wouldn't get hard; I didn't feel any pleasure, only disgust for letting another she-wolve touch me that wasn't my Mate.

"Monica, stop," I growled, and she got up off the floor

"What's wrong?" 

"This was a mistake, and this will never happen again," I said 

"Why, because of that bitch Claire?" she asked, and a growl came from me, causing her to kneel 

"I told you never to talk about her like that. She is your Luna," I said

"Yeah, but you are in here with me," Monica replied

"As I said, this will never happen again. Now leave and don't even think about telling anyone about this," I said, and she walked out of the room.

I knew that Steven and Gwen would ask me questions when they saw me and would be upset if they found out what I had done. I was upset with myself.
