It's Family Weekend at Nevermore. You and Enid are sat together.

"They're going to say so many things." Enid says.

"Maybe. But you're strong. You're way stronger than they think you are." You say.

"I guess. I mean it's more so my mom. My dad kinda just sits in silence. Saves him an earful i guess." Enid says.

"Well i mean if it's just your mom, then surely it cant be that bad. The things she comes out with." You say.

"You wait till you meet my mom. She'll tear me and you apart. That's a promise." Enid says.

The parents and families soon arrive and her parents walk over. Your parents are gunna be a bit late because of the traffic. But will be there soon.

"Enid!" Her mom exclaims.

They get past the hugging and 'i miss you's'. Then her mom looks at you.

"And who might this be?" She asks, in a semi-knowing voice.

"This is Y/n. My best friend." Enid says.

You two are dating. But you both made an agreement, more so Enid made you agree, to not tell her parents. Not yet. Definitely not yet.

"It's nice to meet you." You say.

Her mother inspects you for a moment.

"What are you?" She asks.

"I'm a wolf, Miss Sinclair." You say.

She looks at Enid and smiles.

"Are you mates?" She asks.

"Oh my god mom." Enid says.

"What? Genuine question! Every wolf finds their mate around your age! Perfectly valid question." Her mom says.

"I'm not answering it." Enid says.

Her mom looks at you.

"Well, are you mates?" She asks.

"You dont have to answer that." Enid says.

"I-uh-I dont really know, to be enitrely honest." You say.

You aren't lying. Things have been moving really slowly for you and Enid. Enid can tell. But you can't. You are a little underdeveloped however. You're younger. Only by a year but still younger. Enid is 17. You are 16.

So you won't be able to tell until you turn 17. It's a collective thing around the world. Wolves can never tell who their mates are until they're 17.

"Y/n is 16. So she wont be able to tell until she turns 17. In 4 months." Enid says.

"But you can." Enid's mom says.

A very very long day finally draws shut. After a pretty similar conversation with your parents, you're both in her dorm. Wednesday is out at the minute. So it's just you two.

"Hey uhm... can i ask you something?" You ask.

"Sure." Enid says.

"You can tell who your mate is, right? Cos you're 17." You say.

She nods with a hum.

"Is it me?" You ask.

"It's always been you. You've had me since you got here." Enid says.

"And when i turn 17, you're gunna be my mate too. Right?" You ask.

"Yeah. That's how it works. You only feel the connection if it's for both of you. And i felt it the minute i layed my eyes on you." Enid says.

"What did it feel like?" You ask.

"It felt like electricity. What i imagine being struck by lightning to feel like. A strong electic sensation. It was weird. I'd never felt it before and didn't expect it. It caught me unawares. But I'm greatful for it." Enid says.

You smile.

"I remember the first thought in my head the first time i looked at you." You say.

She smiles to herself.

"What was it?" Enid asks.

"This is gunna sound horrible but my first thought was 'wow what rainbow threw her up?' And i know it sounds horrible but then my next immediate thought was 'holy shit, wow she's pretty'." You say.

Enid chuckles to herself.

"Thank you." She says, laughing a little.

"Any time." You say, laughing slightly.

The rest of the weekend passes. She tells her parents that you two are dating and that you are in fact, mates. She was over the moon. You then told your parents which came with and Enid confirmation cos your parents know how it works.

And all went well.

Been a while. Thoughts? Byee :)
