The Couple

Christian

I drove back to Jeanne’s apartment, I wanted to call Ethan but I didn't. I have a lot of thoughts in my mind. I have to sort them first. I know he will be with Mary and will be annoyed if I disturb him and I will enjoy it as much as I enjoy annoying Jeanne.

Jeanne is sleeping soundly on her bed. I took the other room and slipped out of all my clothes except boxers and went to bed.

I tried sleeping but couldn’t, I was still thinking about Celia. I am still trying to think if we were taught by our elders in weekend classes about our culture that a human can be our fated mate. I had a thought of the prophecy but shrugged it off.

As much as I think I get reminded of how beautiful Celia is and how perfect she stood for me. I think how her skin feels soft against mine. I wonder how her lips will feel against mine. I want to trace her body, her smooth curves with my tongue and worship her body with my sloopy kisses. I want to hold her in my arms and fall asleep. I want to wake up with her by my side in my arms every morning.

It was too hard for me to resist from taking her then and there. I wonder this is how one of our kind feels when they meet their fated mate. No wonder Ethan didn’t want to leave Mary for long when they first realized they are mates. He still doesn’t want to.

I, Ethan and Mary are childhood best friends. We grew up together and spent all our time together until I and Ethan got Ethan’s father, Uncle Robert, then alpha now elder, started training us for our positions in the pack and telling us about our responsibilities when we turned 15.

I remember it was Ethan’s 18 birthday, Mary and I had already turned 18, when he found out. Since her birthday she ignored Ethan and me, we felt bad, our childhood friend was ignoring us for what, hanging out with stupid girls. One day, Ethan almost lost control and shouted at her and she broke into tears. Damn, that birthday of Ethan’s, I laughed thinking of that day.

I don’t know when I fell asleep thinking about Celia, being mates, Ethan, Mary, Pack and her being My Luna.

When I got up with a constant bell ringing it was almost 10 in the morning. I was so tired after all week’s work that I didn't want to wake up even then.

I got up from bed, put on my pyjamas and went to open the door only to find smiling Greg with Jeanne’s favorite flowers, white roses. His smile almost fell when he saw me. I was so disgusted that I took flowers from shut the door on his face. I wouldn’t have kept him around if he wasn’t my third in command and Jeanne’s mate.

He knocked on again and I know I had to let him in. He almost ran to Jeanne’s room before he met my glare and politely asked for my permission if he can go and see his mate and my sister. I let him. I hate this man, he is my sister’s mate.

He gave out a low scream as he didn’t find Jeanne in her room, where the hell did she go. She is a crazy woman, I sent Sean back and I was sleeping, why didn’t she wake me up why did she go alone.

I tried calling, she picked and I growled at her and commanded her to come back immediately using my alpha power over her. I hate it when I have to use my alpha powers over my pack, they are my family. I should not rule over them, my responsibility is to protect them and provide them.

I can’t imagine she went to meet her best friend, she could have asked me to drop her or come with her, but she chose to sneak out. I stormed into my room but not before telling her she is grounded when we go back. I don’t know if I can still ground her but I didn’t care much, she can’t go alone anywhere.

Something shifted in her when she came back and saw Greg in the house. I just hope the shift/change was good, although I saw her jaw clenched as soon as her eyes fell on him.
