SKYLAR

I hate it.

This week took a surprising turn when Jayden, who everybody thought was a lock to obtain that much coveted parental approval, didn't get approved by Jake's mother. Not because of anything he did, but because she thinks her son harbors feelings for me.

Well, who am I to disagree with a clinical psychologist?

As if that wasn't enough, Jayden attacked me during breakfast in the cafeteria. He got triggered by a comment I made suggesting that Jake shouldn't go to Georgia with him if Jake's mother did not approve of him. I did not expect that to set him off like it did.

Jayden lunged at me, knocking me to the floor. All I could do was try and block him while he punched me multiple times. I could've retaliated, but I am not one to kick a dog while it's down. Excuse the pun. Instead, I healed my wounds while he was suspended for two weeks from Ravenwood.

I would like to reiterate that I have absolutely nothing against Jayden. If I did, I wouldn't have lobbied for him to prospect my only brother. That is not something I take lightly. Trust me on this, I am very protective of Seth. I always have been.

I know he has gotten belittled over being born an Omega instead of an Alpha, especially being born of two Alphas. But the genetic lottery is there for anybody to win. Anybody who carries Omega genes - both my parents have Omegas in their families - can produce an Omega. It's just unlikely for an Alpha to have an Omega child, let alone two Alphas.

But my brother means the world to me and I care about him the most out of everyone else. He will always be my twin. We share a bond like no one else. Even if he is not an Alpha like me. I do not care about that, I care about him.

Anyway, Seth decided to invite Jake to come with us back to Texas for the Thanksgiving break - he will return to spend the holiday with his family in Boulder - but we are still a week away from the actual Thanksgiving.

Jayden wanted Jake to go to Georgia with him, but after he got suspended from school and the whole debacle with Dr. Anderson's refusal to approve of him, the situation became untenable.

Jake accepted his roommate's invitation to go to Texas and I couldn't believe my ears when I heard that. I actually get a chance to woo him far away from Ravenwood and more importantly, far from Jayden who is now back to Georgia.

I know I surprised my brother when I announced that I wrote a poem for Jake. I surprised myself, to be honest. I am not the romantic type of guy. I don't mean to sound like a douchebag, but I never struggled to get girls - or boys - in my bed.

I was the King of my High School, star athlete, and future Alpha of the pack. Let's just say I was very popular.

It's not like my dad set a good example for me. He needs his secretary to set a reminder for his anniversary with mom. However, if rumors are to be believed, he did romance his mistress. Not that I will ever talk about her.

I may have been a guy of a thousand girls back in high school, but I am not a mistress kind of Alpha. I try not to judge my dad, but let's just say he is exactly the reason why I want to marry for love, not for money.

I want to devote my love to one single person. Corny, I know. Call me old fashioned but I aim to be like my grandfather, who still takes his mate out on dates after more than forty years together.

Now that's a couple I would like to emulate my life upon. They are truly in love with each other like the Goddess intended when She paired the two of them. Money, ethnicity, place of birth, nothing ever mattered to Her except making the best possible pairing.

It's Friday night here in Texas.

Earlier this evening, we arrived after a long journey from Colorado only to be met by my father's cold reception towards Jake.

It was very irritating, but Jake snapped back at him just as he was being spoken of. He is not the taking crap from people kind of boy. And I love that about him.

It wasn't until some time later when my dad said something in my defense that it really hit him hard. I guess no matter how much I butt heads with my father, I can still be thankful that I have him in my corner.

Unlike Jake, whose father abandoned his mother while still pregnant with him. Damn, Shawn used to be my hero growing up. What a disappointment! That would never be me!

I relayed a clear message to all the girls that hooked up with me: you can't get pregnant! It's not because I didn't want to be a teen dad, it's just that my father had already set the course for my future and that was Ravenwood Academy.

My dad is no joke. He made that clear to us from the beginning. Our sex talk was like: 'The only person you can make a baby with is your Ravenwood Academy approved partner. No one else.'

Anyway, during dinner Seth revealed to my parents that I had written a poem for Jake and they were gobsmacked to hear it. My mother was shell-shocked to hear this, especially since I never even liked literature back in high school.

I don't know what else to say, I was inspired by my love for Jake. He is not one I could conquer with money and if he were, then the point would be moot. I guess for the first time in my life, I have to get creative.

My mother has a diamond necklace - given to her by my father when he ascended as Alpha of the pack with her as his Luna - that is worth seven figures, but she does not treasure that more than the 'Mother's Day' cards that Seth and I used to make for her every year in elementary school.

Diamonds may be a girl's best friend but when you are a mom, your children are your treasure. I do love my mom with all my heart and I would not be sitting here fantasizing about a future with Jake had she not intervened with my dad to approve of him.

Trust me, this will never be lost on me. But if there was anyone who could pull that off it was her, a remarkable woman.

My dad was on my case about reading my poem, but I told him no one was going to read it until I showed it to Jake. I was very adamant about that, which only made the Omega more curious about it.

Later that night, I went to his guest room to talk to him and recite my poem.

I used every ounce of emotion in me to mean every word I spoke as if it was directly from my heart. By the end of it, Jake and I were kissing and I was in heaven. Oh. My. Goddess!

His perfect rosy lips were so delicious to savor, to feel. My tongue danced inside his mouth as he kissed me back with vigor. We were so entangled in each other that I didn't even realize when I suspended him with my arms and carried him to the bed.

I ran on autopilot as I towered over his body with mine on the bed, laying on top of him as we kissed, but without putting my weight on his body. I was keeping my upper body in place with my hands on each side of the bed. Meanwhile, he is enthralled by our kiss.

Goddess, I wish I could have him right here, right now. But we are nowhere near that phase yet. His heart is still confused and Jayden is not out of the picture just yet. I need to behave myself though that is proving more difficult than the night of his heat episode.

After a long while, I rolled over to the side of the bed, catching my breath. My heart was racing like never before. Even when I was still a virgin, I didn't want anyone in my bed with me as I do Jake now. I'm blinded by the lights coming out of his glowing eyes.

"Goddess, I want you so bad right now!" I confessed, turning to look at him, who was eager for it. I could tell.

"Why are you behaving more intensely than when I was struck by heat?" He questioned me, baffled by my lust - though the feeling was mutual at this moment. He wants me too, I can tell. And not like when some guys think girls are into them, when in reality all they want is to escape their grasp.

Well, the glowing eyes are a dead giveaway for us werewolves. We can not be fooled and even if I were blind, I still can sense his lust for me through my nose. He wants me bad.

"Why do YOU want me more now than when you were stripping naked in front of me to taunt me?" I challenged him, breathing in his Omega pheromones. That was what he did on the night of his heat episode.

"I wasn't naked." He glared at me reprehensibly.

"Barely." I teased him, not that he was wrong.

"I think it's time for you to go to your room now." He dismissed me, irritated.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to antagonize you. Please don't send me away, I need to scent you! Please, Jake, I promise you I'll never do anything that you don't want me to." I pleaded, begging him not to send me away.

The truth is though I am very horny right now, but I don't need sex to satisfy my hunger for him. I would love for that to happen, however I would just like to be permitted to stay with him tonight.

Jake's angry expression gave away a soft gaze at me that was melting all my walls.

"My heart is yours. I'm yours. All I want is to stay by your side if I am allowed to." I declared, looking deep into his eyes as we lay sideways on the bed.

"You can sleep with me if you want..."

Before he finished that sentence, I was disposing of my shirt and pants to get under the covers with him in my underwear. Jake was baffled by how fast I got undressed next to him. I mean, the kid was jaw-dropped.

"You don't mind me sleeping in underwear, do you?" I asked him mildly concerned since I never did that in Boulder. I always wore shorts or pajama pants.

"I don't. But for future reference that is something people ask before they take off their clothes, not after." He smirked. I laughed nervously. I do not want him to ever feel uncomfortable around me. This is not about that nor it will ever be.

Just like in Boulder, Jake laid his pretty little head on my bare chest and I caressed his head, playing with his gorgeous black hair. Wow. This is not better than sex, but it comes at a close second. Not that sex was ever in the cards for me and him tonight. That is not how this game is played.

After the best night of sleep I had since the last time we slept together, we were woken up by Seth barging into Jake's suite around 9 a.m. on Saturday. We forgot to lock the door with all the commotion last night and my brother was jaw dropped as he saw us in bed together. Especially because since I was shirtless, it could appear as if I was naked under the covers even if Jake was wearing a shirt.

"It's not what you're thinking! We just slept together!" Jake told my brother, who gasped in shock at seeing us in bed together.

"I shouldn't have entered your room without knocking first, I apologize. Carry on." He spoke, standing in front of the bed in shock at the sight. It's not the first time Seth has caught someone in my bed, but it's certainly the most surprising one. He walked out of the room while Jake was mortified by being caught with me in his room.

"Don't worry, he will believe you when you tell him about last night. And even if we had done anything, my brother would never judge you for it. He never judged me before, as I'm sure he would extend you the same courtesy." I told Jake before he spiraled.

Apart from that shocker, I cannot even pretend that I didn't just have a fantastic night by his side. Even if all we did was kiss and sleep next to each other, I would wage war just to be able to have Jake next to me.

He makes me feel like I never did before. All I want is to make him happy, in any way I can. Slowly, we got out of bed and I got dressed in the clothes I left lying on the floor the night before.

"Thank you for last night. I had the best time of my life." I told him before I left his room.

"Thank you for such a beautiful poem, I shall treasure it until my dying breath." He replied, so beautiful even if he just woke up.

"You are the one I want to treasure for the rest of my life." I stated, ever so smitten by him.

Jake got wide-eyed as he stared at me in shock at the declaration. Shortly after, I left his suite to return to mine. This weekend promises to be one of the best I ever had...
