Ari's Reverse Harlem Part 2

Chapter 4 Square

Ari

As soon as our hands touch.... tingles. This can't be happening to me right now. I thought Liz said Square was a Mage, how is this possible? We shouldn't be able to feel the mating bond tingles when we touch each other...right?

"Umm...is everything OK? Why are Ya'll acting so weird?" Liz breaks the awkward silence between us. I'm already regretting this decision. I glance around to check for the closest exit, I gotta get out of here.

"Everything is fine, right Marie?" Square asks. I want to yell out "Hell no" but I'm still trying to remain calm, so I can plan my escape.

"Right" I finally spit out. I can feel Square's eyes on me, while I look anywhere else but at him. Goddess, please look away. When I finally grow a pair and look at him, I suddenly wish I hadn't. He's currently looking at me like I'm the bad Chinese food, that's been stinking up his refrigerator. It's not enough to hurt my feelings but it is a strike against my ego. I remind myself; he bats for the other team. I don't have the right parts he desires, so it helps to lessen the blow.

Which confuses me even more, why would my mate be gay? I know I can change into a wolf, but I definitely can't change into a man. Now, that I think about it, I've never tried. Not that it's possible for me to but it would be nice to pee standing up for a change.

I can feel my wolf getting excited about the possibility of having a mate and a pack again. I'm starting to feel some type of mating pull towards him. How is this even possible when he doesn't even have a Wolf?

"Did Liz show you around, help you get settled?" Square asks. He looks like it pains him, to even speak to me. It doesn't stop his voice from still sounding magical. "Well get settled, if you need anything Liz will help you." He turns and walks off like the building is on fire. I see him slow, to look over his shoulder at us, before entering what I'm assuming is the office and closing the door.

"That was extremely weird. He's normally friendlier than that." Liz brings me out of my stare down with the closed door.

"When it comes to my life, weird is the new norm." I shrug my shoulders. The thought of having a new pack was fun while it lasted. It's no way I can stay here now. Me with mates don't mix. I gotta find a way to ditch Liz, so I can get my stuff from the gym and skip town.

Square

I just locked myself inside my office. I'm currently sitting on the floor with my back against the door. My heart is beating so hard, I'm pretty sure the vamps are about to go crazy outside.

Speaking of crazy, am I currently experiencing a minor mental break? There's no way I felt tingles when I touched that werewolf. I know what that means, growing up my best friend was a werewolf. My family stayed close between two wolf packs, to help hide me from a demented group of Mages. During our time there, I learned a few things. One of them, was how important mates are to a wolf. He explained the tingles and the mating bond to me. I spent nights praying for him to wake up one day and recognize me has his mate. I was devastated that day never came.

I was upset and somewhat relieved when my parents had to move us again. I was upset I was losing my best friend but I was also relieved. I didn't have to keep being disappointed, when my best friend didn't look at me, the way I looked at him. It's pathetic, I still hope one day he might change the way he looks at me.

I try to take calming deep breaths. The more I breathe in, the more I smell her. I close my eyes and try again, when I do, I see her. WTF? I keep replaying the moment we touch and I experience the tingles. Fuck, it made me want to moan out. I understand know why wolves are so crazy over their mates. I just don't understand why I'm experiencing this. For one, I'm not a wolf. Two, she has the wrong parts. I've never been attracted to a female before. I can acknowledge, when one is pretty but I've never had one make my cock jump from the slightest touch, like Marie just did.
