Tyler

Damn, he's good! Who knew?

I would say it's not rocket science and it isn't, but not everyone is good at first, some people forget they have teeth and it hurts.

But not my mate. He used his mouth masterfully. But more importantly, he used it with purpose. I was afraid he's gonna be grossed out by it, but he really wasn't.

Anyway, can you believe people actually called to complain to my dad about the Luna Effect?

Seriously. They said my delay in completing the bond was affecting their kids at school. And they're not talking about the drought I've caused.

Of course, my dad being the polite Alpha that he is explained to all of them that I was medicated for my heat and that wouldn't be an issue anymore.

Honestly, some times I wished we're back in medieval times where he would just shut them up by threatening whoever complained.

But this isn't the dark age anymore. People have a voice and they need to feel that their leader is hearing their complaints attentively.

Of course you can't please everybody. But you can't ostracize them either. And my dad knows that, even Jack knows it too. Modern times call for modern Alphas.

It's a sign of the times. Being Alpha is more political than ever before, even though we don't vote for it. Or especially because we don't. It's kinda like the King of England. He is the king and will always be, but his people are his people, not just subjects.

Anyway, suspensions got lifted and crisis averted. And I haven't caused droughts anymore thanks to some old time drugs.

I also haven't talked to my sister in a while because I was giving her space to deal with my mating to Jack. But I do miss her. We only have each other, you know?

"Are you feeling better, Ty?" - Mom asked me during Thursday morning breakfast in the dining hall.

"Yes, mom. I am feeling great really." - I replied to her with an honest smile.

She smiled back at me.

"I have noticed you smiling way more in the last couple of days, are you finally in good terms with your mate?" - Dad asked with a content grin.

"Yes dad, we're great actually. Really great, in fact I think we're taking the Saturday to have an overnight sleepover if that's okay?" - I saw a window and took it. Sarah widened her eyes at this. So did mom and dad.

"It's fine, son. Just let us know where you'll be staying." - Dad winked at me.

"I miss talking to my sister, do you think we'll ever be good again?" - I asked Sarah, making her gasp in surprise.

"We are good. I know nothing in this is your fault, so we're fine. It's just difficult seeing you going through the motions that were supposed to be with me. But I'll get over it, I promise." - She reached out her hand to touch mine and smiled weakly at me.

Our parents let out a content moan at this. I do miss her. We don't have the same relationship that I have with Jay or Pete because they're my friends (and boys), but we always were there for each other. And we always talked, so I really missed that.

Soon enough, I'm back at my corner with all our friends at school.

"So, are you going to tell me what you two are doing on your free period?" - Jay asked me curiously.

"I already did, library." - I replied without missing a beat.

"Yeah, heat doesn't boost sexual drive on Alpha three times over. It actually only accentuates the mate bond. Nice try though, did you think I never heard of Google?" - He snickered, making all our friends laugh at me.

"Damn, you're such a pest. Why am I friends with you in the first place?" - I smirked, a tad annoyed at his insistence.

"Because no one else would tolerate abuse like I do from you. Usually people put up with snarky comments or temper tantrums only when they are getting something in return. And it's not the gift of friendship." - He snickered and I laughed out loud. Everyone did.

He's not strictly speaking wrong. Plus, I'm too old by now to get new friends at this point in high school, especially being the future Luna of the pack.

"I can't tell you out of respect for my sister." - I replied making Sarah grimace.

"What? Bullshit! Say it the mind link." - He argued, not backing down from this.

"Oh my fucking Goddess! You're so pushy! Why can't you be like Peter?" - I snapped at him, frowning deeply in annoyance.

Peter looked at us wide-eyed, but said nothing in response.

"He's curious too, he just doesn't say it because he's shy. But I don't care." - He said and I couldn't help a mild laughter that escaped me looking at Peter. Everyone do look curious about it. And it's not like we have any secrets between us. Most especially between Jay and me.

"Good morning, everyone." - Jack greeted us as he and Tony approached our corner.

"What's with the commotion?" - He continued, looking intrigued.

"Jay is hammering me to find out what we have being doing during our free period together." - I told him, who blushed instantly.

"Library." - He said absentmindedly.

"Nice try, Alpha. I've known Ty since we're 4. The only time he spent at a library was when google wasn't invented." - Jay smirked at him.

He's exaggerating, of course. But not entirely that far off.

"Tony was curious too. I told him I didn't want to offend his straight boy sensitivity." - Jack argued, which only added more fuel to the fire.

Jay, Pete, Anna and Elsa looked at me wide-eyed in gasp. Sarah too.

"So you two did do something!" - Jason nearly shouted.

"Do you want to broadcast that to the entire school? Are you trying to get me suspended again?" - I jabbed at him with a deep frowning glare his way.

Everyone stared at each other in shock. The bell rang. We start to walk towards the classroom.

"You do know I'm not letting this go, right?" - Jay insisted as we walked on. Friends, am I right?

I told him what I did in the mind link and he was gobsmacked. In fact, he blushed so hard even the girls were annoyed in curiosity.

"Shut the fuck up! You didn't! Who are you?" - He looked absolutely floored at me.

"I'm in the mind link too, you know?" - Pete snickered. I giggled. I also told him. I might as well get it over with cause they're not letting this go.

Pete also gasped at hearing.

"I can't believe I never mind linked anyone. I completely forgot about that." - Jack observed in a shocked tone.

"We were away from this pack when we first shifted, we didn't get the chance to practice it. Now that we're back, we need to be blessed by the Alpha." - Tony explained to him.

"I am the Alpha." - He clapped back.

"Fine. I need to be blessed by the Alpha." - Tony stated in a sour mood.

"I don't even know how to. Can you mind link me? Give it a try?" - He asked, looking at me.

"You look so hot right now that I wish I could undress you here and suck your delicious cock."

Jack coughed with the gasp and startle he got by my words. He was so affected by it his face looked red.

"Oh my Goddess, what did you say to him? He looks like he's gonna be sick." - Jay asked me, curiously.

"If you only knew..." - I teased him.

Soon enough, we are all getting the necessary education we so clearly needed.

Later in the morning, we didn't miss the opportunity to make the most of our time in the bathroom, especially considering this was gonna be our last time during school hours.

We don't have practice on Friday and by next week, we should be properly bonded. At least I hope so, I missed training with the warriors at the center.

Jack decided it was stupid for us not to have lunch together, so he and Tony joined us at our table. I didn't exactly frown at that, neither did my friends thankfully.

"So, now that we're mated, who's next in line. Whose birthday is approaching?" - Jack asked, looking at my friends.

"I think Sarah and Tyler's are next." - Peter said, pensive.

"You don't know when my birthday is?" - I asked him surprised.

"No. It hasn't exactly come up in conversation." - He replied, defensively.

"We need to talk more." - I reflected.

"Maybe talk instead of doing something else--"

"Jason! Not the time for this joke!" - I glared at him. Sarah scowled. The girls and Pete laughed. Even Tony, who presumably got told by Jack about our pastime.

"Plus, our free periods are going to be over now." - I observed and everyone looked at me with their eyebrows shot up in surprise.

"You're finally going to complete the bond?" - Tony asked, shocked.

"You've told him about THAT and didn't tell him about our date?" - I glared at Jack in shock.

"He asked!" - He answered in a defensive stance.

"How was he supposed to ask about our date? He's not an idiot like Jay who asks me everyday." - I snapped at him, making Jay grimace.

"And still you didn't tell me! Figures." - Jay jabbed at me, scowling.

"We've only just decided it like yesterday. Tony lives with him." - I argued, glaring at him.

"There's something called texting. Plus, the mind link works at my house too. I don't live that far away from you." - Jay argued in an annoyed tone.

These fucking friends, am I right?

"It wasn't yesterday, it was Tuesday." - Jack said making me glare at him.

"See?" - Jay stared at me, feeling vindicated.

"Thanks, Alpha. Very helpful. Where are you taking me by the way? And please don't say your family home." - I asked, but by the look on his face I regretted immediately.

Jack's grin descended into a scowl, remembering his family home. I put my hand on his shoulders in an attempt to comfort him.

"I'm sorry I said that. I was being stupid." - I apologized with a remorseful tone.

"It's fine. You're right. I wasn't even thinking of that, to be honest. But I'll find us a place for our first time." - He said in a deeply saddened tone. I kissed his cheek to watch him melting under my light touch.

Later that day, he's driving me back to the pack house for his internship. His face never quite got the smile I was growing used to this last few days.

"I'm sorry for what I said earlier. I really wasn't thinking. If you wanna have it there, I'm cool with it." - I offered, making him glance at me.

"I don't. But thanks for suggesting it." - He replied, much to my relief. I'm lying, I wouldn't be cool with doing there, not this soon anyway.

"Well, wherever it is I'm sure it'll be great. I'm excited. Even though..." - I trailed off.

"Even though what?" - He asked worriedly, glancing over me.

"I don't know... I think you maybe too big for me to fit." - I said and he gasped. He coughed so hard he had to stop the car.

I couldn't help but laugh at this.

"I can't believe you just said that!" - He barely got a word out from the gasp. He looked completely gobsmacked.

"It's the truth. I've never done this before. I don't know how am I gonna fit you all in." - I told him, making him blush the reddest I've ever seen him so far.

I'm flustered as well, but by now I'm not bothered at talking about this. Not with him alone, at least.

"I think we'll have to play it by ear. Let's see how you feel it on the day. I'll take it slow. I don't ever want to hurt you." - He told me and I melted. He starts the car back again and drives.

"Thanks for understanding." - I said, looking at him affectionately.

"Of course, this is new territory for the both of us. And for the record: I don't know how am I going to fit you in myself. You're not exactly a small guy, I could barely fit you into my mouth." - He said and I blushed hard.

We both burst into a fit of laughter that lasted until we reached the pack house.

The rest of the week was fine and uneventful. We talked some more about our upcoming date during lunch and our ride along, but he kept the location to it a secret. I hope it pays off because I have huge expectations.

Also, a lot of insecurities. But that is to be expected, I think. On Friday night, I went to Jay's house to talk things over with him.

I know we bicker a lot, but he's my best friend. And I know he only asks because he cares. It comes from a genuine place.

I guess I was nervous to talk about it with a straight person (like I thought I was), but he never changed his attitude towards me. That's a true blessing.

He didn't get weird in the shower - which a lot of other guys did, except for Peter. He didn't even flinch about getting naked in front of me. Personally, I couldn't care less about his naked figure or anyone else not my mate. But not everyone reacts the same way, which is why Jack and I were so nervous in the group shower to begin with.

But not him. He actually asked me what I thought about the oral sex and how it compared with getting it from a girl.

Of course I know he's being a tad salacious about it. I didn't say he's perfect. But I wouldn't trade him for the world. Plus, if the shoes were reversed, I'd be asking him the same questions. Like my mate once said: we're werewolves, not monks.

So yeah, I told him about my adventures with Jack and he ate it up. Deep down, I was dying to brag about it. I didn't before because I was afraid he would reject me or something.

But that couldn't be furthest from the truth. Lastly, I also ranted about my insecurities with the mating. I didn't tell him I thought Jack was too big for me because you know, boundaries. But I said what was worrying me and he told me everything was going to be all right.

He said that Jack and I fit together perfectly.

Interesting choice of words. We need friends in our life. They may drive you crazy but they also keep you grounded. That's gold.
