Mate//Werewolf Shawn Mendes

Chapter 37: We Cant Keep Him

"What do we do?!" Shawn asked in a whisper/yell, pulling me away from the group.

"Can't he just come back with us?" I furrowed my eyebrows, confused.

"No. I don't like the way he's looking at you," he said, jaw clenched.

"Awww, you're jealous," I cooed, pinching his cheeks.

His cheeks burned a bright red as he took my hands off of his face, holding them.

"I'm not jealous," he scoffed, but I knew he was lying.

"So you don't mind if we take him with us?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Okay, I might be slightly jealous," he scoffed again, ruffling my hair.

"You don't have to be," I said, looking up at him.

He never seemed to grasp the fact that I only loved him, and nobody else, romantically at least.

"But you're so beautiful. It's not hard to fall in love with you. Its so easy I'm afraid everyone could do it," he said, and I swear I could've melted.

I grabbed the back of his neck, pulling him down to my height so my lips could meet his.

The kiss was sweet, and warm, and everything it's always been.

"Hey!" Cam yelled, walking up to us.

We pulled apart, looking at him expectantly.

"Did you find out what we're gonna do or have you been making out the whole time?!" Nash said, giving us an exasperated look.

"Welll..." Shawn said, blushing.

"Awww!" I squealed, pinching his cheeks again as Cam rolled his eyes.

"Okay, so Rowan can stay with us," I said quickly, completely aware of the way Shawn was looking at me.

"If Elena takes care of him," Shawn added, shooting me a glare.

"Okay, so let's go home, shall me?" Cam said, gesturing us all over to Rowan, Elena, Aaron, Jake, Jack, Jack, Natalie, Hope, Melissa, Maribeth, Laya, Matt, Taylor, and Carter.

We walked over to them, Shawn gripping my hand tightly.

"Guys..." Aaron said suddenly, his eyes wide and alarmed.

All of our attention was on him, Nash gesturing Elena to get Rowan into her car.

Elena complied, shooting is a confused glance before slamming her door, trying to occupy Rowan with some lame attempt at conversation. It doesn't take super hearing to know your sister.

"There's a full moon tonight," Aaron whispered harshly, giving all of us warning looks.

"Wait, what do you guys even do during full moons?" Melissa asked as we huddled, looking confused.

"We have no control, so usually we just lock ourselves in your shed and try to keep ourselves from breaking out of it and killing someone," Cameron said simply.

"How did we not see this?!" Ashlea asked, exasperated at her lack of focus.

"Well...we normally sneak out in the middle of the night and don't wake you. We don't need you guys coming after us," Jack Johnson said.

My eyes widened in realization when a thought came to mind. Hope and Natalis didn't know.

"Taylor!" I yelled, grabbing his arm and dragging him away from the group.

"What?" He asked, looking rather confused.

"Did you tell Nat?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at the fact that the girls didn't freak out like we did.

"Yeah, me and Jack showed her and Hope like 3 hours ago, why?" He asked, and I let out a sigh of relief.

"Okay, never mind. That's all I needed to know," I said, tugging him back over to everyone else.

"Okay, so what's happening?" I asked, Shawn moving to stand beside me.

"Make sure Rowan stays away from us, we'll all be in or by both of the sheds," Jake summarized.

"And make sure he's nowhere near you. A werewolf's first instinct is to go to their mate, and we can only resist that if you guys are alone," Shawn said, growling the first part at me as I rolled my eyes.

"That means that if any of you are with other guys, we'll find them and rip them apart," Taylor said, wrapping an arm around Natalie's shoulder as she smiled at him.

"But what if he needs help?" I asked, worried.

"Then call Elena. I'm doing this for his safety, baby. He'll be better with Elena than with you and an angry Alpha werewolf," Shawn chuckled dryly, kissing my cheek.

"Can I come see you when you're turning?" I asked softly.

"No. I would never hurt you, but I don't want to take any chances. Stay inside, where you're safe," he answered gently.

I nodded, but inside I was sure we both knew I never obeyed him.

"Are you ready?" Mari whispered to me, slipping on her black Vans.

"Yeah, give me a sec," I answered, pulling on Shawn's favorite hoodie before grabbing Melissa's hand, pulling her to the back door with me.

"Guys, we have to be careful," Hope said, all of us nodding.

After we had gotten home, the boys made us promise again that we wouldn't follow them.

Obviously we didn't listen, because it was about 10:00 at night and the moon was fully out, and I hoped the boys would be ready for a visit.

"How are we going to get in?" Natalie asked, and we all stopped.

"We can lure them out to us. If they hear our voices, they'll pounce, and probably knock the door down," I suggested, and all of the girls nodded.

"Let's do this."
