The Secrets of The Reverence Pack

Chapter 10: Losing It

Oh, how he wanted to punch something.

No, not something. He wanted to punch himself.

"Why are you back up here again?" Bree asked. "What happened?"

"I'm a fucking idiot," he paced on the roof again. "That's what happened."

"What happened?" Alex climbed up there with them. "Did his girlfriend come over?"

It looked like Blake was climbing up as well. Great. He might as well just have a damn party on the roof at this point!

"No," he rubbed his face, his body moving faster than before as he walked back and forth along the peak of the roof.

"What did I miss?" Blake asked.

"Jett found his mate," Alex said. "Long story short; it's Shiro, he was supposed to talk to him today about it; and now it seems he's fucked up."

"Wait," Blake looked shocked. "No one told me that he found his mate! When was this?!"

"Why are you all up here?!" Jett snapped at them all. He was already losing his mind, and all of his friends were too busy celebrating the mate that had just ran from him.

"I mean," Blake pointed his thumb behind him. "I could always get Manny to bring the beer and we could just sit and drink or something."

"Bree's husband would kill her if she kept him on baby duty as long as she did yesterday," Alex said.

"I wouldn't drink anyway," the woman shook her head. "Knowing my luck, I could easily be pregnant again."

Oh, how Jett wished that he had all of these problems to worry about rather than the one that was paining him at the moment. He'd much rather be alone so he didn't have to explain why he was such a fool.

"So, what exactly is going on now?" Blake asked. "I mean, I know that Shiro's your mate, which is a little weird, but I'm not quite sure how you fucked it up. The guy doesn't seem like he'd go against a mate bond."

"Oh yes he can," Jett muttered. He didn't even have a chance to talk to him about it. When he felt just how strong the bond was, it took control of him. He hadn't known just how much Shiro was hiding, or how he was able to hide that much at all. It was addicting, even his smell. That scent that he had kept hidden came so strong that it took over his senses. He absolutely loved it. It was like a midnight spring.

"Wait," Bree stopped all of them from talking. "He didn't reject you, did he?"

"No," he shook his head. "I mean, he didn't say it. It just felt like he did." It hurt seeing the absolute fear in his eyes when he grabbed his throat. Jett wasn't sure what he was afraid of. It seemed like he had wanted it. The power of the man's kiss was enough to make him bend to his every will. He would do everything that princely man would say just by that kiss alone.

But why did he look so afraid? Why did he look so upset when he pushed him away? Those dark eyes held so much pain in them. Pain from the past. He wished he could have asked what had happened. He wished he could have simply talked to him about this. But he had been a dumbass and let his instincts take over. He should have approached the situation better.

"Jett," Blake shook his head. "For Heaven's sake, would you please stop pacing? You're making me dizzy just watching you!"

"I fucked up so badly," he told him, continuing his pacing.

"What happened?" Alex asked. "Do we seriously have to play the guessing game with you?"

"I tried to mark him," Jett rubbed his face.
