My True Love, My Mate

Chapter 4

"You did what?!" Jack shrieked, getting up and stepping closer to his sister and her mates.

"Chill out, OC!" I stepped in front of him, "How do you think Jimmy felt when you did this to his underage sister?"

"Less pissed off than me! He doesn't care!" Jack exclaimed, "Like Mack didn't freak out with you and Dave! I'm the only one that cares!"

Mack's eyes widened, "Why didn't I hear about this happening?!"

I chose my words carefully, "Because, Mack, it hasn't happened yet. David and I haven't fully mated! There, I said it! Happy, Jack?" I glared daggers at the blonde.

Jack backed away slowly, "I-I didn't know, I just figured..."

"She's not wrong, Mack. We really haven't mated yet. We would tell you if we did, you know that," David sighed.

'Fully mating' was something that happened after getting to know your mate. Quite literally, you have sex to mark each other with your scents. It's not as big of a deal as complete mating, which is part of the marriage ritual. With complete mating, you mark scents in wolf form. It's the most important part of the ritual.

"Yeah, I know," Mack smiled softly, "While we're on the topic... Rizzo and I did too. Also, we've talked about it, and we're going to get married as soon as I'm 18."

"That's great Mack!" I gave my brother a hug.

"Yeah, that's awesome," David smiled, 'bro-fisting' Mack.

"Just wait a couple of years, it'll you two getting married," Mack winked and left the room, leaving David and I to ourselves.

We both started laughing awkwardly. David wrapped his arms around me in a hug. I hugged back, burying my face in his chest.

"I love you," I said, fully meaning it.

"I love you too, baby doll," David replied. I could hear the smile in his voice.

"We need to talk about mating," I sighed after we pulled away from each other.

"I'll only even think about doing that after you tell me you want to. I understand if you want to wait until you're 16, and can give consent. I know I'm a lot older than you," David responded almost immediately.

"We can do it now," I smiled.

"Now?! As in like right now?!" David widened his eyes. I nodded.

"Are you sure?"

"Positive."

*Time Skip*

David and I walked into the kitchen, where most of our friends were sitting, hand in hand.

Rizzo sniffed the air and coughed, "Holy shit Dave!"

"Oh my gods you two finally...!" Ali got up and hugged me. I laughed. Congratulating your best friend on loosing their virginity? Okay, I guess, haha.

I sat down at the kitchen table and grabbed a Faygo Red Pop.

"I just realized, now that you two did it, the whole pack has been mated. We just have to wait for weddings," Pav joked, I think.

"Wow, that's a thought," Grace breathed.

"Yeah," Ali spoke in thought.

No one spoke for a while after that.
