There's a Wolf in My Basement (BoyXBoy)

Almost Boyfriend (Chapter 18)

Dax's Point of View:

I realized that Joshua could be the most scariest person on this planet. His death glares could make anyone - either supernatural or not - piss their pants, fall to the ground, and cry their heart out. I wouldn't want anyone to experience that. Only because his parents, Joseph, and I are actually receiving that glare right now.

His brown eyes never left ours, staring at us like we are his next prey. In all seriousness, this is the most scariest and hottest thing I have ever experienced.

In his hand held a cup of tea his mother made minutes before. He calmly took a sip of tea as if he wasn't killing us with his eyes.

I noticed that whenever he was angry or sad his eyes would turn a very dark brown, when he was happy excited his eyes would turn slightly hazel, and with any other emotional his eyes would glisten a little.

It wasn't long before my mate finished his tea and placed the empty cup on top of the black table in front of us. After a while he crossed one of his legs over the other in a sophisticated way and then intertwined his hands together and intensified his glare. Making both us werewolves and his parents jump a little.

"Now," my mate started calmly, "I want to know what you're all hiding from me, and don't give me some bullshit answer." The way his voice sounded made shivers travel down my spine. That voice is so hot. It's mixed between deep and angelic like.

"Son," his father began in a stern voice, "watch your language. You maybe an adult, but you are still our child."

At that Joshua's brown eyes grew darker, "Really dad? Am I? Am I really your child? Was I really born from your sperm and mom's egg?" Joshua's father was quiet after that. He held his head down in shame and regret.

"Joshua, how did you know?" His mom sobbed."

Joshua's eyes met hers. In them swam the feeling of hurt. Joshua isn't actually angry at them, he's hurt. Hurt because his parents didn't tell him as something as important as this.

"That's not important." He told her his eyes filling with tears. Then he turned to Joseph and I. Right then and there, I understood how hurt he really was. "You two, I can't believe you would try and keep this from me." I think what hurt him the most, was us agreeing to keep it a secret.

"Luna, I--" Joseph tried to say, but I cut him off.

"Don't, Joseph, he's pretty hurt right now." I whispered to him as I held my head down and showed my neck in submission, and I'm pretty sure Joseph did the same.

I'm such a fool. I should have know it was a matter of time before Joshua found out, but I didn't think it was happen this soon. I wish I can turn back time and fix this, but I can't. I have to live with this conscience, the conscience of knowing that I hurt my mate. Something that I vowed not to do under any circumstance since the first day I met him and fell in love. Damn it. I'm such a idiotic fool.

"Why didn't you tell me when I first learned to understand human language?" I heard him ask, hurt clearly within his voice.

"Joshua, son, we really wanted to tell you, it's just that, you looked so happy growing up, and the first time you called us mom and dad, that brought tears of joy to my eyes." Joshua's father told him. As he sobbed, which is definitely a surprise seeing as Joshua's father seemed like a guy who wouldn't cry. I guess for the sake of his family he would.

"Sweetheart, please, please don't be mad at us. We love you so much. Even if you aren't our son, we still love you like one." His mother sounded like she was crying her heart out (which she probably was).
