Loving A Quiet Werewolf (BoyxBoy) - Book 3

Chapter 3: Elder Cherish

Matthew's POV

Jack and I walked into the elder's office with our parents following. Isaac and Oliver came too because Jack told them what happened and he apparently cried to them and they were worried. Jack and I sat in the chairs in front of Elder Cherish's desk, our parents behind us.

"So you two want to know if you're mates or not?" He asked, cutting to the chase.

"Y-yes." Jack said before I could. I reached over, taking his hand, knowing that he's nervous.

"Okay, so here's how it works. I have to attach these wires to both of you, then you will be in each other's heads."

"How is this dangerous?" Isaac asked. I heard Jack sniffle and I saw that he was crying again. I know how he felt. I was nervous too. I pulled him into a standing position and pulled him onto my lap. I cradled him in my arms, letting him bury his face in my shoulder.

"When they're in each other's heads, their fears that haunt them are also in the way. They have to take the fears. It's not going to kill them, they just have to work past it. They know they're mates or not if they're wolves have connected spiritually. They'll know and we'll know if that happens."

Oliver placed his hand on his son's shoulder. "You sure you wanna do this?"

Jack looked up and nodded. "Y-yes, Dad."

"Okay, sit in separate chairs." Elder Cherish said. He walked over to us and attached wires to our skin on our arms and neck. I looked at Jack and gave him a soft smile. "Ready?"

We both nodded before he closed his eyes. Before we knew it, we blacked out. The darkness was replaced by a very bright white light. I shielded my eyes and then I looked down. I saw the ground, but it was very far away.

"Shit!" I yelled when I looked back up. I was on top of a building with my feet on the edge. "Jack, why do you have to be scared of heights?" I whispered to myself.

I looked down at the ground at the bright green grass, but it seemed so far away. I walked along the edge until it stopped. I looked over the edge at crystal clear water.

They have to take the fears. It's not going to kill them, they just have to work past it.

With that in mind, I jumped from the building, plunging into the water. He had a fear of water too. I broke the surface, looking at the people surrounding me. It was really loud.

Fear of crowds.

I went back into the water, swimming underwater. The people were suddenly gone and I felt someone grab me. This was my fear. Fear of drowning. I tried to scream, but the water got stuck in my throat.

I let my eyes close and I let the water take me where ever I was meant to go.

I woke up to feel someone's hands on my chest. I felt someone saying my name.

"Matthew!" My eyes shot open and I sat up. I felt Jack put his hands on my shoulders, trying to calm me down. I let the air fill my chest. I looked over at Jack who looked scared.

"It's going so fast." I whispered.

"I know. I don't know what to do now. What do we do, Matt?"

"Come on." I whispered, pulling him to his feet. I took his hand as we started walking. I had no idea where we were, but it looked like an abandoned building.

"Who's fear is this?" He whispered.

"Mine." Fear of abandoned places. When I was about 14, my friends and I snuck out and went to this abandoned house.
