As soon as Korn entered the Dragon Moon pack house he could smell the scent, it was zesty and fresh like lemon grass and ginger and his wolf was going crazy in his head making him feel dizzy until he lost his balance and fell against a potted plant in a ceramic planter which sat on top of a stone jardinière.
It made a loud noise as it rocked back and forth and he had to grab it to stop it from falling.
The lady who was escorting him asked him if he was ok and he nodded before apologising. He had expected someone to come running to see what all the commotion was about but when no one appeared he straightened his clothing and took a deep breath.
He had to play it cool and pretend he didn't feel anything just in case he didn't like his mate, he had no intention of being trapped in a loveless relationship just because of a few symptoms, he could do this so he pasted on his game face before throwing open the doors.
"sorry I'm late everyone, I had a spot of trouble" he said not missing the tall muscular guy who was standing beside his seated sister.
"come on in" the alpha replied and gestured for him to take a seat.
"hi Beamie" he waved across the table to his sister.
"hi Korn ... Thorn, that rude boy over there is my twin brother, Thinnakorn" she smiled.
"so you guys are siblings?" Thorn asked Beam as they ate their soup.
"yes, for my sins" Beam smiled.
"hey, I heard that!" Thinnakorn said shuffling and slouching in his seat.
"Korn, stop trying to kick your sister under the table" his mother said from the other end of the table.
"but mom, she's dissing me" Korn pouted.
Beam stuck her tongue out at Korn and he glared at her.
"gimme my cardigan back you mangy old dog" Korn sulked.
"stop sulking bro' it looks better on me anyway" Beam said.
"I can see that you two are fond of each other, how old are you both?" Thorn asked, his eyes sweeping across to ThinnaKorn.
"22 but I'm the oldest by 4 minutes Korn smirked"
"it shows by your cranky old man attitude" Beam replied.
Korn looked down at the bowl of soup that a girl had placed in front of him and after thanking her and giving her his trademark smile and dimples, he began to tuck in.
'this could not be happening' Thorn thought as he watched the young man take spoonfuls of soup and sip it between his pretty pink lips, he needed to touch Thinnakorn to see if he felt anything but what if he did? it was a dude, what the hell was he going to do with a dude, ok the guy was cute especially when he smiled but still.
Dinner seemed to go on for ever while Beam and Korn kept bickering throughout much to Thorn's amusement and then after dinner they all went to sit in the garden and Beam went to sit by her mother, this was the chance that Thorn had been waiting for.
He walked across to Thinnakorn who was flirting with one of the girls from the kitchen as she was preparing to serve coffee and for some reason it pissed him off.
"Thinnakorn!" he called out a little too aggressively making the younger man jump.
"yes, is something wrong?" Korn replied.
"sorry' I didn't mean to bellow, I just ... I thought we could chat now that the ladies are busy" Thorn replied.
"oh' ok cool ... what do you want to chat about?" Korn asked him.
