Dirty Little Secret

Secrets and Endings

Jason's POV

    It's finally spring break, the trees around us growing flowers and leaves, brightening the once dreary streets of the pack lands.

   I smile softly to myself as I relish the soft touch of Nick's hand in mine, the two of us humming softly to ourselves as we enjoy the quiet walk. There's a park close to the Pack Center, and we stroll around underneath the quiet canopy of trees and content ness.

   Never in my life did I think this level of happiness was possible.

   Growing up, many people called me a pessimist, and looking back I would have to agree. Always assuming the worst, always waiting for the next monster to jump out of the closet. But now, there's no cloud following me around, only a cheesy ass smile and a happiness that doesn't fade away.

   A year ago, I was scared shitless that I didn't have a Mate, or that I would spend half of my life looking for them.

   Never did I expect for my Mate to be there all along, those sweet soothing smiles literally pulling me through the days.

   I wrap my arm around Nick and pull him towards me tighter, breathing in the fresh scented air, the flowers smelling sweet and soft.

   My runt looks up at me and scrunches his nose adorably before polling out his tongue making me chuckle as I hug him tighter. "What are you thinking about?" He asks me curiously.

   I smile down at him, just admiring the way he seems to grow more beautiful to me everyday. "I was thinking about how you kept me sane this whole time without me even knowing." I tell him honestly, with a shrug, and his face softens with a tender smile.

   "I was thinking about that the other day." He says softly as we find a bench, the two of us sitting close together with our hands tangled, playing with each other between us. "Is it weird that sometimes I'm sad that I have to lose my brother?" He asks me, biting his lip, and I immediately shake my head, one of my hands going up to cup his face.

   "I am your Mate. I will be whoever you need me to be so that you can be okay. And if that's your brother sometimes, who cares? I've been playing that role my whole life. It's not gonna stop me now." I tell him with a shrug, and I see tears come into his eyes before he laughs and shakes his head.

   "How do you even explain our past and relationship? Goddess, it's even complicated to me and I lived it." Runt says, a little worry creeping into his eyes as it does sometimes when he thinks about how people might react.

   I give him a warm smile and place his hand to my lips, breathing him in softly, my heart fluttering in my chest at the chance to do this whenever I want.

  Because he's all mine.

  I smirk before biting on his hand making him whimper softly, and I pull back placing a kiss along the bite before grabbing a hold of his hand. I look out over the sunset, my heart warm and full as I answer.

    "If someone thinks it's weird that's on them. I love you with my entire being, no matter what form that love takes. I will love you until the end. Besides it's not their business. It can be our Dirty Little Secret."
