Be Mine?

Chapter 1

Everett's POV

Sighing, I step from my truck into the parking lot of the dreaded grocery store. Usually my mom, the current Luna, does the shopping, but today for some unknown reason I have to.... So I forced my beta and third to come along.

Keaton, Tanner, and I step into the store and groan. All heads turn to us immediately, even if they're mundane. They can all sense our importance.

We decide not to get a cart and quickly grab the things on my mom's list. Halfway through I groan. "What kind of person needs twenty two pounds of asparagus?!"

Tanner laughs beside me. "Its for tonight, genius." Wait.. tonight? What's tonight? "You know... The Annual Banquet?" Oh.. right.. That.. All three of us shiver in disgust at the same time.

The Annual Banquet is an excuse for unmated horny wolves to find their mate. Out of the three of us, only Keaton has found his. I hate to admit it but I'm often envious of him.. But that still doesn't mean I enjoy the Banquet.

Too many slutty girls trying to get my attention, but every year I attend, none the less. Packs all around the world attend and this year we're hosting.

After we get all the food, we return home and dump it all into the kitchen. Only making one trip and grabbing 20 bags each because 2 trips is mainstream.

Afterwards, Keaton quickly dismissed himself to his mate, leaving me with my beta. I playfully push his shoulder. "You think we'll get lucky tonight?" He just shrugs and sighs, collapsing onto the ground.

"I don't know, man. What if there's not even anyone out there for me..?" I just laugh and brush his comment off.

"I've been waiting longer than you have. You'll get your mate." Just as I say this my mom hurries into the kitchen.

"And so will you, young man, I'll make sure of it!" Then she looks down at Tanner on the floor and shakes her head at him. "Did you really just have to smash all the buns?" She smacks him with a towel. "Get out of here and pretty yourselves up."

Tanner yelps and hops off the bread. I push him out of the door as I laugh. He rubs his chest where the towel hit him. "Your mom is mean." He pouts and I laugh harder.

We walk up to the top floor where the higher ranks are located, well usually until they're mated. Then they move into separate homes like everyone else. We both turn off into our rooms to shower.

I pull on a white t-shirt and dark blue jeans that hang low on my hips. I run my hands through my wet hair a few times and call it good enough. Then I step back into the hallway and lean against Tanner's door. After a while of waiting I get bored and open his door.

He's still in the shower so I lay down onto his bed to wait. I hear the water shut off and he finally emerges, half dressed and towel drying his hair.

"Hot." I smirk and he drops the towel in shock.

"Jesus fuck" He presses his hands to his chest. "Don't do that to me!" He shakes his head and turns to his closet to pull on a white button up, not even bothering to button it.

"Ooh! A tease!" I wink at him and he just shakes his head and laughs before winking back.

"You know it, honey." He brushes his dark hair back and shrugs. "Good enough?" I nod and jump up from his bed.

"Let's blow some time, yeah?" He grins. And that's how we found ourselves sitting on top of the roof of our mundane principle at 2 in the afternoon.
