10 Years... (boyxboy)

Chapter 4

Caleb POV

Once Jason walks off to.. somewhere, Oli and I simply follow. Soon, I see that we're heading down a path to a big, circular building with a glass dome-shaped roof. The architecture here is very different to what I'm used to.

We finally enter the circle building, and we're greeted by dozens, if not hundreds of unfamiliar faces.

"Sorry we're late, we had some business to deal with," laughs Jason, already acting so different than I'm used to. He steps on a slightly elevated circle in the center of the room, but Oli stays back. I decide to do the same.

An uneasy chuckle can be heard throughout the room.

"Well, as you can guess, we renewed the treaty. We didn't change anything, although I would like to encourage you to do something new. I want our packs to intermingle. I want some of you to go to the New Moon pack and get to know them." Wait, really? That's not something we discussed.

Soon, a roar of dissatisfaction rumbles throughout the room. I see Oli flinch a little, but decide to leave it alone.

"Be quiet!" Screams my mate. "I'm your alpha, if you disagree with me, you may challenge me." What are you doing, Jason? You're too small to fight anyone here.

"Oli, he's too small to fight anyone." I say, my concern leaking out through my voice.

"Just watch." Oli says, uncaring.

Soon, one man - a good head taller than my little boy and twice as wide around - steps forwards and challenges Jason.

"Fine." Snaps Jason. "Make room," he demands, but he doesn't need to. The tall man shifts into an average-sized, nearly white wolf while my little boy shifts into the biggest wolf I've ever seen. I blink in shock when I see his lean, tall, brown wolf.

The size of Jason's wolf seems to take the blonde wolf by surprise, too, based on the face he makes. Not sparing him a second, Jason leaps onto him. I wince as I hear the tearing of skin. Jason seems to be winning.. that is, until he looks at me. I don't think he's aware of it, but his gaze softens. Then, the blonde wolf attacks. He doesnt manage to hurt my little boy, but it does piss Jason off. Jason swipes at the other wolf's ribcage, drawing plenty of blood. Soon, instead of two wolves, we have one huge man cowering at a little nerds feet. I see the power slip from the bloody man as he's demoted to pack omega, which is what happens when you challenge the alpha and fail.

"Go help in the kitchen," Says Jason through gritted teeth. The man scampers away. There's a moment of silence before Jason snarls "Anyone else?"

It's so quiet that I can hear Jason's angry breathing. That is, until he demands "Leave." The lack scampers away, and Jason's tone makes me want to do the same, but I hold back.

I'm not expecting Jason to shove me, but he does. His eyes seem to glow with anger, so I decide to stay quiet.

"Why the fuck are you toying with me? Is that the only reason you're here? To screw me over? I can't believe I was stupid enough to begin to trust you!" He yells, and I want to yell right back that I care about him, that I'm not toying with him, but I know it'll only make it worse. So, I simply watch his back as he runs into the darkness.

I pace back and forth in the hallway that adjoins Jason's room and the room that I'm staying in. It's been hours, and my mate is still gone. I'm so, so worried, but I'm afraid what Jason will do once I find him. I slump down in front of Jason's door, and hear crying. Before I can run in, Oli does. Once I realize that the door is wide open, I process Jason, sitting on the floor, screaming, with tears running down his face.

"Shit, Jase, are you okay?" Oli asks, panicked.

When Jason looks up and sees Oli, he screams louder, if possible, and cowers into the corner. Slowly, Oli backs out of the room until he's next to me.

"Caleb," Oli whispers "I won't be able to calm him, so I need you to do it for me."

I'm about to ask why when I hear Jason's screams. I walk in the room, slowly, so I can show him that I'm not a danger. His screams seem to slow the closer I get to him. Eventually, I sit down next to him and pull him into my arms. Without hesitation, he crawls into my lap, his legs wrapped around my stomach and his head resting on my shoulder. He grips my shirt and cries and shakes for a few more minutes, then abruptly stops.

"T-thanks," he stammers, avoiding looking at me.

"You're welcome," I smile.

Jason looks like he's contemplating something, so I wait for him to make a decision. He eventually asks "Are you toying with me? Or am I really.. are we really.." he just looks up at me, his green eyes looking lost.

"We're meant to be, Jason."

"A-are we really? I've never.. I mean guys never.. I mean.." he'd ramble on but I cut him off.

"What do you think about me?"

He reddens, and says "Nothing! Gotta get some sleep, you know, it's bedtime.."

"Jason, you're an adult, you don't need a bedtime." I laugh.

He reddens once again, and promptly pushes me out of his bedroom and locks the door.

I sigh, head into the room I'm staying on, and collapse on the bed.
