Two Moons

Chapter Three

Jared

"Let me explain, before you say anything," May said right after she hung up with Alex. I clamp my mouth shut.

"So my best friends Alex and Lena have been setting me up on blind dates for years now. I don't want to go, but they think I need to get out more. This happened before I met you. So don't kill this guy. Apparently he's a werewolf, but I'm going to break things off with him tomorrow," May finishes. I feel a sudden bolt of protectiveness.

"I'll come with you, he might be dangerous," I say, growling. If he's a werewolf, he might hurt her.

"Please, I can handle myself. I'll just go and come back. It will take twenty minutes," May scoffs.

"No. I want to come with you. I don't want to be away from you, when you're with another werewolf, and a guy," I reply, taking her hands in mine. She smiles, showing that she's giving in.

"Fine," she blushes. "But please don't kill him."

"I'll try my best," I say truthfully.

Three hours later

"You are officially a member of the Athena pack. Thank you, Jared." Claps erupt all around me as my tattoo is finished. It was an open book in a circle with two pencils crossed in an x on top. I smile and look at the crowd, only focused on one person, her green eyes staring back at me. May.

"Please continue with our festivities, and welcome Jared!" Alpha Cole announced over the cheers of the crowd.

Carefully making my way through the crowd, I look for May. She is so damn beautiful. They way she smiles at the little things, and she blushes when someone compliments her. When she lights up the room with a simple laugh, and how she can calm someone down just by looking into their eyes. It's just, May. May. And the best part, is that she's mine.

"So, uh... Jared, would you like me to show you around?" A girl with platinum blond girl asks, placing her hand on my chest. "I know you want to," she nods, whispering seductively. Only her tricks wouldn't work on me.

"No, thanks though. I've got it down," I shrug her hand off.

"Then how about I come over later to help you get... situated," she adds with a wink.

"No, I'm good," I look for May, and she smiles, so I start to walk towards her. A hand grabs mine and I'm met with a pair of lips. She has a tight hold in my hair, and the other hand roams around me. I push her off, and she pouts.

"Oh come on Jared! Please tell me we had fun earlier today!" Earlier today? I only met her now.

May. May May May. Oh, dammit.

I look at her, but it's too late. Her lip is wobbling, as tears stream down her cheeks rapidly. She turns and leaves.

"Oh babe, please don't tell me you thought she was pretty. She is such a slut," the girl scoffs.

"She's my mate, babe," I spit out, and leave to find May.
