Matthew's POV

I walked into school and most people from my pack I walked past smiled at me. Perks of being next alpha. I opened my locker, pulling my English binder from out of it. I felt someone next to me, so I shut my locker. I jumped when I saw Jack.

"C-can I talk to you?" He whispered. I nodded, following him into the band room where the teacher usually left it open.

"What's up?" I asked, making sure all the practice rooms were empty, so we could talk.

"I'm sorry, Matthew."

"Jack, it's totally fine-"

"No, it's not. You didn't kiss me back and-"

"Jack-"

"No, don't talk. I'm so sorry. I know you couldn't possibly like me that way. We're best friends, not m-"

"Jack, let-"

"Listen to me, I know that-"

"JACK!" I yelled. He jumped, looking at me with a confused look. "Shut up for a second. I don't regret it."

"W-what?"

"I don't regret the kiss."

"But you didn't kiss me back." He said, confusion clear in his voice.

"Because I was shocked. I never expected you to kiss me."

"Why do you say it like that? Why wouldn't I kiss you?"

"I didn't know you liked me like that. I didn't know you felt the connection too."

"Connection?"

"I talked with my father last night. He told me that you can't feel the pull of your mate until your 18, but you still have feelings for your mate before you've matured fully."

"Y-you think we're mates?"

"I don't know, but I hope so."

I watched as he smiled, a light blush coming to his cheeks. "I hope so too, Matthew."

"We'll find out on my 18th birthday."

"Isn't there like an elder we can go to to see if we're mates?"

I looked up at him, shocked on his elder knowledge. "Yeah, there is."

"Well, your dad's the alpha. Wouldn't he be able to set up a time for him to tell us if we're mates or not?"

"Sure, come home with me. We'll ask."

"I can literally walk to your house from mine."

"Oh, right." I said, mentally face palming myself. He chuckled, kissing my cheek.

"Let's get to class."


Once it was time for lunch, we sat at our normal table. We sat with some of the other pack members and they usually question me about the pack.

"So any news on the pack?" Forest asked.

"No, my dads don't have any news and if they did, I'm not at liberty to say."

"That means there's going to be a pack meeting soon and there's news." Jack inferred for me.

"He's right." I said and they all chuckled.

"You two would be good together." Parker said, looking at Jack and I. I saw a blush forming on Jack's face and had to stop myself from laughing.

"Yeah, thanks, Parker." I said, making the guys chuckle again.
