Mate//Werewolf Shawn Mendes

Chapter 3: New Mates and New Best Friends

I woke up to the sound of a camera click and cuddled deeper into my pillow, nuzzling my face into its neck. Wait...pillows don't have necks. Oh yeah, I fell asleep on Shawn last night. I opened my eyes slightly and saw Cayla and Taylor taking pictures of us, so I groaned and hid my face in Shawn's chest.

My legs were tangled with his and he was basically cradling me, as I was using him as a pillow. My arms were wrapped around his torso and my head was in his neck, and I was actually pretty glad they were taking pictures because I could only imagine how adorable we looked.

"Good morning beautiful," Shawn said in a husky morning voice, kissing my head.

"They're taking pictures of us," I groaned and he chuckled.

"It's probably because you're so adorable," he cooed and I shook my head.

"I bet I look monstrous right now," I said.

"You never look bad. You look beautiful as always," he said and I laughed, shaking my head.

"C'mon Princess, let's go get breakfast," he whispered in my ear, shaking me lightly.

"I don't wanna get up," I said and he chuckled, picking me up bridal style.

"At least put some pants on, I don't need other guys looking at you," he said and I tiredly slipped on some sweats, hopping on Shawn's back and wrapping my legs around his waist, resting my head on his shoulder.

He carried me downstairs to the lobby and I woke up a bit more, rubbing my eyes and grabbing a muffin and some cereal, with orange juice.

I sat down in the middle of Shawn and Taylor and across from Matt, Carter, and Cayla. Everybody else was next to us too, some at different tables.

"So how'd you love birds sleep?" Aaron said, wiggling his eyebrows.

Shawn and I looked at each other, shrugging.

"Good," we said simultaneously and they all laughed, eating their food.

"You're really warm," I told Shawn and he nodded.

"We're kind of like Twilight in that sense, our body temperature is super high," he explained and I nodded, understanding.

"Wait, did you get yelled at last night too?" I asked Cayla and she rolled her eyes, nodding.

"Yeah, now Matt refuses to speak to me," she said, rolling her eyes again, pouting.

"Haha I got out of it," I smirked, kissing Shawn's cheek.

"You're lucky you're cute," Shawn said with an eye roll, still smiling at me.

"Who's that?" Jack G spoke breathlessly, looking at three really pretty girls.

One was average height with long brown almost black curly hair with darker skin, and Cameron was giving her googley eyes.

Another one had blonde hair and bright blue eyes, and was a bit short, but very skinny. Nash looked like he was about to jump her.

The last girl had long pink hair and brown eyes with darker skin, and she had a lip ring. She and Jack G we're having an intense stare off.

"Hey! Come over here!" I yelled and they looked at me, walking over.

"I'm Emiko, what are your names?" I asked and they smiled at me.

"I'm Melissa, this is Laya, and this is Maribeth," the curly haired one said, pointing to the blonde one named Laya, and pink haired one named Maribeth.

"This is Jack, Jack, Cameron, Jake, Taylor, Nash, Aaron, Carter, Matt, and my boyfriend Shawn," I introduced and everybody waved.

"Well nice to meet you guys, I must get back to my boyfriend, but I'll catch you all later," Melissa said, and Cameron growled.

"Mine," he growled and I jumped on him, covering his mouth.

I fell over a table and knocked Cameron down, who landed on top of me when I had my hand over his mouth.

Shawn growled and pulled me up, but I pulled Cameron with me. Melissa, Laya, and Maribeth were giving us the weirdest looks, so I rested my elbow on Cameron's shoulder and put my arm around Shawn's waist.

"Inside joke," I said, giving a fake grin.

"Do you guys wanna hang out?" I asked and they all nodded.

"I guess I can call Caleb and tell him that we can reschedule," Melissa shrugged, pulling out her phone and walking away.

Laya and Nash were talking, and Jack G was trying to start a conversation with Maribeth.

"Wha-what am I gonna do?!? She has a boyfriend! She can't have a boyfriend! She's mine!" Cameron freaked out, pulling on his hair.

"Dude calm down, it'll work out. Do you need a hug? You look like you need a hug," I said, hugging him.

Shawn growled again and I have him a stern look, mouthing to him that it was friendly and he needs someone right now.

He wrapped his arms around my waist and I felt tears on my neck.

"Aw, dude. You're gonna make me cry. I don't want to see my bro cry. C'mon, I'll talk to her. And she's your mate, she'll feel the connection eventually," I said reassuringly and he nodded, sniffing.

Once Shawn saw that Cameron was okay he pulled me into his arms, hugging me.

"Don't do that, princess," he mumbled into my neck and I laughed.

"Do you ever only call me princess when you're mad at me?" I asked, smiling at him.

"No, princess," he smirked and I laughed again.
