(Chapter 4- Megan and Alex)

While sitting in my last class before lunch I let my mind wonder back to the dream I had last night. I couldn't help but wonder what the mystery guy's name was. Is it normal for people to dream about someone they have never met?

Maybe that’s what happens before you meet your mate. I guess I would have to ask someone that actually had one to know for sure.

Who do I know that has a true mate?

I tapped the side of my jaw as I thought about it, but kept coming up blank . I don’t really know a lot of people since I’m kind of a loner here. Reagan was my only real friend. Maybe she knows someone.

If I did get the courage to ask someone, I need to make sure it’s not a person who would tell Tyler about my genuine curiosity. That would not be good for anyone. I was technically his now according to pack law...or the Alpha anyway. 

“What are you thinking about?” Reagan quietly asked pulling me from my thoughts.

She was still taking notes from Mr. Greene as she spoke to me. One's that I should have been taking but wasn't. It was hard to do when my mind was elsewhere. Let's just hope I don't fail the up coming quiz we had next week. 

“Do you happen to know anyone who has a real mate that we could talk to?” I asked.

She gave it a quick thought before answering.“There is this one girl from my math class that does.”

I felt a burst of excitement at her response.“Great. Does she know Tyler?”

She slowly shook her head seeming a bit unsure. “I don’t think so.”

“Do you think you could find her during lunch so I can talk to her?” I nervously asked. 

I knew it would arise some questioning out of her, but I just had to talk to someone. There was no way I could just keep something like this to myself. 

Curiosity shown through her eyes.“I guess so. What is it about?” 

“Just mate stuff.” I admitted.

In only just a matter of seconds her curiosity was long gone and was quickly replaced with concern.

“Fine, don't tell me, but at least be careful Ky. I don’t want you to get in trouble with the Alpha.” 

I wanted to roll my eyes at her worry but I knew she only said what she did because she cared about me. I just wish she'd trust me. No one will find out. 

“I won’t. just introduce us and I'll take it from there.” 

She nodded her head but I could tell she was still worried about me. There was no way she would ever understand unless she was in my position. No one could.

The rest of class passed rather quickly. Reagan and I were now on our way to the cafeteria to find her friend whose named I had recently learned was Megan.  I really hope she could help me with this dream situation. If she couldn't, then I don't know who could. 

There were not many people in our pack that were with their true mates so the likelihood I would find someone else to ask about this was very slim. And if I were to start asking around I would surely raise suspicion then. 

“There she is.” Reagan said pointing to a table in the corner of the room as soon as we entered the lunchroom. 

Megan was sitting next to, whom I’m guessing is her mate, holding hands and kissing him. She looked amazingly happy and it sent a pain to my heart. I feared that happiness would never happen to me. Sure I might grow to love Tyler, but it would be nothing compared to what I could have with my true mate.  

“Come on, I know her well enough that we can sit with them.” She said.

I quickly followed her to their table and came to a stop in front of a blonde haired girl and guy who where now seriously making out. It wasn't until Reagan awkwardy cleared her throat that they actually pulled away for air. 

A deep blush set in when she saw us before her.

“Hey Reagan.” She grinned. 

"Hey, mind if we sit here?” Reagan asked eyeing the empty table. 

"Not at all.” Megan replied removing her books from the seat next to her. "I need someone to help me with one of last night's homework problems anyway." 

I took the seat across from Reagan, Megan, and her mate, and laid my bag upon the table in front of me. Her eyes showed genuine curiosity as she studied me. I couldn't blame her though. It's not like we knew each other. 

“Hi, I’m Megan.” She smiled offering her hand and nodding to the guy next to her. “And this is Alex, my mate.”

Her blue eyes held a friendly stare as she waited for me to reply. 

“Nice to meet you, I’m Kyla.” I said shaking her hand and releasing it.

Recognition quickly crossed her face at my introuction.  “Oh yeah you’re Tyler’s mate. Our future Luna.”

I wish everyone would quit reminding me of that. It’s not like I want it or anything. I feel like I’m feeling someone else’s shoes. I want to be my own person.

“Yeah.” I replied in fake cheerfulness.

“That’s awesome. I could be friends with the Luna.” She said.

“Definitely.” I agreed.

Having her as a friend could prove useful to me. Maybe she would be willing to help me out with this whole mate thing.

“So how did you two meet?” I asked.

Now was the time to start getting my information before it was too late. I’m sure by now Tyler was probably looking for me and it would take long until he found me.

“We actually had a class together. One day the teacher paired us as partners and I’ve known ever since.” She said smiling at him.

“The first time we accidentally bumped hands we felt it and knew immediately.” Alex added.

The pain in my heart was coming back again and I fought to hide it. I didn’t want them to think anything was wrong.

“Wow that must have been a surprise just going to school one day and finding your mate.” I said.

“It was but I had a feeling I would meet him soon.” She stated.

I was suddenly more interested than ever before.

“How?” I asked.

“It was these odd dreams I kept getting about him.” She said. “Alex had them to. I think it’s what happens when your minds connect. Like its fate telling you what to expect.”

I smiled at the remembrance of my dream. What if she is right? He could be coming here soon. How will I feel when I see him? Will we fall instantly like everyone says or will it be a growing affection? Will this be the only dream I have or will they be reoccurring? I couldn’t help but wonder.

“I bet you have tons of dreams about Tyler huh?” Megan asked.

“Um…” I wasn’t quite sure how to answer that. Should I lie or tell the truth?

“There not true mates.” Reagan interrupted.

“Oh I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have assumed.” She replied guilty.

“It’s ok. The meeting last night was to announce our chosen mate not our true mate. I honestly had no idea until yesterday I was even getting a mate.” I admitted.

“Well at least you got a good one.” She added. “Tyler really seems like a nice guy but then again he’s not Alpha yet. I’ve heard they become all serious when that happens.”

“I hope not.” I mumbled.

“What?” She asked.

“It’s nothing.” I said. “Do you think we could keep this conversation just between us?”

She nodded to me in understanding. “Of course.”

“Thank you.” I replied in relief. Maybe we could be friends after all.

Megan and Alex went back to being all lovey dovey again making us being there sort of awkward. I guess they wanted their space and I was hungry anyway so Reagan and I got up leaving them alone.

When we reached the line within just a few seconds I felt someone wrap an arms around my waist. I quickly reacted by moving away. No one has ever done that to me before who did this time?

I turned around and saw Tyler looking at me strangely. Realizing it was him I felt worried. I hope no one saw me push him away like that. They would all start talking about it and word may get back to Alpha Steven.

“I’m sorry I didn’t know it was you.” I quickly recovered.

“Who else would it be?” He asked seriously.

“No one, I’m just not used to this.” I admitted.

“Oh, sorry.” He chuckled.

I smiled to him weakly but didn’t reply. He slipped his arm back around my waist and pulled me to him. I was shocked by his forwardness once again and instantly stiffened. I had no idea how I was suppose to react to this so I just stayed still.

“Who were you talking to?” He suddenly asked.

“Oh um… That was Megan and Alex, Reagan’s friends.” I replied nervously.

“Oh yeah I remember them now.” He said. “They are one of the few true mates we have in school.”

“Oh are they?” I played dumb hoping it worked.

“They didn’t tell you?” He asked.

Before I could think of a way to answer Reagan cam e to my rescue.

“Come Ky the line is moving.”

I looked to her in gratitude. She saved me just now and she knew it. I was truly luck to have a friend like her.

“What are we going to do tonight night. It’s a Friday we have to do something fun.” Regan said.

I tried to hide my disappointment when speaking. “I can’t hang out tonight, sorry. Tyler and I have dinner with our parents.”

“Shoot.” She whined.

“Don’t worry; we can still go to the beach Saturday.” I stated.

“Yay.” She squealed.

Tyler looked at me uneasy. “You’re going to the beach alone?”

“Not alone. I’ll have Reagan with me.” I said.

“But two girls going to the beach alone draws attention from certain people.” He hinted.

I could easily see where this is going. He was afraid of me getting the attention of another guy. Little did he know that guys didn’t notice me that way. He is the first one to do that. Either way I couldn’t let him stop me from going. Reagan and I always did stuff like going to the beach together.

“What do you want me to do not go?” I asked not bothering to hide my irritation.

“No.” He quickly spoke. “I was just thinking I could go with you. You know since we are mates, or soon to be mates now.”

Well there goes my alone time with my best friend. I guess those days are over now. I liked Tyler as a person but I don’t think I will like having him everywhere I go.  A girl needs some space.

“Then after that you guys can come to my party.” Tyler added.

My attitude suddenly changed at the word party.

Was he serious? A party really? Reagan looked at me the same way. We were never cool enough or ever invited to parties but now we so can! This is awesome. I have someone who can get us into them now.

“Really?” Reagan screamed with excitement.

“Sure.” He smiled proudly. “It wouldn’t be right for me to have a party without my mate by side and you being her friend are invited as well.”

Normally that might have ruined my happy mood but hey, I was going to a party! Nothing could spoil that. Not even having to be with Tyler the entire night.

Through the rest of lunch Tyler made me sit with him and his friends. Luckily he didn’t mind Reagan hanging out with us though or I might have been much more uncomfortable.

I felt so out of place at his table. I wasn’t used to hanging out with his friends or group or whatever you want to call them. Throughout lunch some of the fake girls tried to make friends with me but I know it was all a put on. They were only doing to get close to Tyler and get on his good side. That is why I call them fake. I had no interest in being friends with someone like that. Unlike them my whole world didn’t revolve around him.

After lunch Tyler insisted on walking me to class. I think he thought it was his rightful duty as my mate. I just smiled and went along with it since I was still so happy about the party.

“Thanks.” I said to him when we were outside my next class.

“You’re welcome.” He smiled.

I let go of his hand and turned to walk into the classroom but he caught my hand. When I turned to face him it was like a flash of lightning and his lips were on my cheek and then gone. I stared at him is surprise, that was the last thing I had expected.

Before I got a chance to say anything he turned on his heel and was gone, only leaving me there to hold my cheek astonished. If that was a goodbye for leaving me to go to class then what would happen after I left his house tonight to go home?
