WYATT

I sat in a secluded hallway trying to sort through my thoughts. Everything seems to have changed so quickly since the aliens arrived. First, Willa becomes the angry closed off person she was when we first got to Seabrook. Then, I feel a weird attraction to the alien boy and his dumb charming smile. I've been feeling so guilty about it and then to make things worse, I blurt out my attraction in front of Wex, and oh gosh, Wex. I love Wexton so much and now he's got another mate? How could that be? Would he leave me for the A-Lan? None of this makes sense, I don't even know if I'm mad about Wexton connecting with him, how can I be? Mating isn't something we can control, it's not like Wex did it on purpose. It would also be kind of hypocritical of me to be mad at him when I was also feeling an attraction to the boy.

I groan and throw my head into my hands. I don't know how long I sat there drowning in my thoughts before I felt a soft, clawed hand grab onto my own, gently pulling my hands away from my face. I looked up slowly to see Wexton staring at me with soft eyes.

"Wyatt?" he spoke softly, a look of concern in his eyes.

"Uh, hey, Wex" I greeted just as softly, running a clawed hand through my hair nervously.

"Are you okay? Listen, I understand why you ran off, things are definitely a bit crazy right now and I'm not really sure about what just happened, but we'll figure it out together, okay?" he rushed out, gripping tightly onto my hand.

"Yeah, yeah, I know" I reassured him with a shaky smile. I knew he was right, we'd figure this out.

"I do not wish to interrupt but I must ask, Wyatt are you alright? I very much did not enjoy seeing the sad look on your face earlier" A-Lan suddenly spoke up softly. I hadn't even noticed he was here.

"Uh, yeah I'm alright" I responded with a small smile. It was kind of sweet that he was concerned about me.

"I am glad to hear so, although you still do not look quite happy" the alien replied with a small frown " would it help perhaps, if I were to hold your other hand the way Wexton is?" he added with a grin, happy that he might have thought of a way to help me.

"Uh..." I trailed off as I shared an unsure glance with Wexton. Wexton shrugged with a smile before looking back over at A-Lan.

"Yeah, sure" I finally decided. The alien boy's grin grew into a beaming smile as he came to kneel down on my other side, opposite Wexton. The blue haired boy grabbed gently onto my hand, seeming to observe the way Wexton held mine to see if he was doing it correctly. I couldn't help but chuckle softly at how concentrated he seemed. My laugh seemed to catch his attention, as he turned to look at me. I let a full smile grow on my face as I looked from his silver nails on his hand that held mine, before looking up towards his face. I gasped in shock as my eyes met his bright hazel ones. He smiled sweetly at me but I was far too concerned by the feeling of my eyes glowing as the hazel eyes in front of my glowed a bright amber followed by a glowing blue.

"No way" I heard Wexton breathe out with a chuckle of disbelief.

"How...?" I muttered softly, also in a complete state of disbelief.

"May I ask a question?" A-Lan spoke, suddenly seeming very nervous as he looked down towards our linked hands with a slight blush.

"Yeah, of course" Wexton and I responded simultaneously.

"I have noticed both of your eyes glowing but they do not seemed to have glowed in the angry way your friends did earlier, I was wondering why they do so, as it truly is quite beautiful" A-Lan questioned softly. I could tell Wexton was blushing just as badly as I was at the alien boy's question.

"Um, uh-" the two of us stuttered, trying to form a response.

"Uh, maybe we'll explain that later. We should all probably head to our classes, they'll be starting soon" Wexton finally spoke.

"Very well" A-Lan spoke not seeming disappointed by the response at all "I do hope to see both of you later. I very much enjoy your company"

"Yeah, of course. We enjoy your company too" I replied with a big smile. How was this alien boy so darn cute?

"Good luck with your classes" Wexton called after the alien as he began walking to find his classes.

"Well then, I guess I don't have to worry about you leaving me for him then?" I broke the silence with a chuckle as we began to walk to our class hand in hand.

"Never" Wex told me with a large grin.

"Do you think there's ever been three people mated together before?" my boyfriend queried.

"I don't know. I've never heard of it happening but clearly it's possible" I responded with a shrug.

"Well, date night just got a lot more interesting" Wexton joked causing me to let out a loud laugh.

"What do you think aliens like to do on dates?" I queried, already trying to plan what our first date with our new mate could be "oh! We should try out that alien froyo!"

"Ha, maybe, but we really should start trying to find a way to tell him about the whole mate thing cause I'm not sure if aliens even know what romantic feelings are" Wexton added.

"Oh man, yeah. That's gonna be rough" I added as the realization of it all set in.

"Ha! Rough!" Wex chortled " you know, like ruff... cause we're wolves..."

"I might start turning into Zed soon and telling you your jokes aren't funny" I sighed out.

"Hey! You love my jokes" Wex gasped in offence.

"No actually, I just love you" I responded with a big grin.

"I love you too" he replied with just of big of a grin before it suddenly dropped into a serious look "but seriously, you do actually love my jokes too right?"

I let out a loud laugh before pulling away from him to go into my class.

"Right!?" I heard him call out from the hallway.

"Wyatt!!"
