Houston sits down next to me and I lean my head on his shoulder, i had to plead with him not to leave since phoenix told him about us being mates. Houston smiles down at me before turning to his plate of food and pigging out. I do the same.

*after dinner*

Houston walks me back to my room and I'm about to walk inside when he grabs my arm

"Tegan" he sighs

"yes" I reply taking my hand off of the door nob of my room.

"give the guy a chance" he looks at me with pleading eyes.

"what" my eyes go big

"phoenix,  give the poor guy a chance" he breaths out. I give him a confused look

"are you trying to dump m-"

" Tegan he's your mate, those don't just come around everyday. We both know I'll find my mate one day" he gives me a gentle look.

" i-i know, it's just . . . I really like you" I pull at the hem of my shirt.

" oh tegan, i really like you too. No. I love you but I'm gonna have to let you go, it will hurt him more to loose you than it will me." Houston hugs me while whispering in my ear.

"you gonna miss me" I ask.

" of course I will, more than anything" he chuckles with little humor. 

"thanks hou" I hug him tighter.

"no problem,  I promise this is better for you" he pulls back a little only to tuck a piece of hair behind my ear.

"I guess your right" I kiss his cheek before walking into my room. what have I gotten myself into.  Now I'm just supposed to walk up to phoenix like hey my boyfriend and I are over so let's get together.  I groan before flopping onto my bed falling asleep instantly.

*next day*

I wake up and stretch, hitting something hard next to me. What the heck. I look over and see phoenix laying next to me shirtless. umm well that's a little odd. I'm almost positive nothing happened last night . the edge of my comforter rests right on his waist and just to make sure I reach for it slowly peering inside. phew he's wearing pants. I sigh in relief.  Not sure what to do i poke him in the chest and it didn't go unnoticed how hard it is. Not noticing any signs of him waking up i climb on top of him so my legs are on either side of him. I lean in close to his face and study his features from his blond hair to his hard jaw . Being curious I poke that too. This time his eyes flutter the tiniest bit. I grab his eyelashes and pull open one of his eyes, a brown eye stares back at me.

" hello there" he mumbles and his other eye opens, i release the eye I'm holding.

"um hi, sorry" I realize how weird this must look. He laughs loudly making my face turn bright red.  I crawl off of him and his laughing aruptly stops.

" I didn't want you to move" he looks me over making me realize I'm wearing one of Houstons' shirts and boxers. Phoenix growls before pinching the fabric of the t-shirt between his fingers.

" I-I'm sorry " I stutter, and his eyes snap up to mine.

" Don't be afraid of me,  Tegan" he still manages to sound like an alpha even when whispering. 

"o-okay, how d-do you know my name" I ask.

" I have my ways" Phoenix smirks.

" o-okay" I try not to stutter but it comes out anyway.  Phoenix's features soften and he brushes my face lightly.  The sparks follow his finger tips, i try not to think of Houston but images of him pop into my head. I sigh and look up at Phoenix, he looks back down at me. Phoenix slowly gets closer until our noses are barely touching,  getting a little bit closer phoenix brushes his lips against mine. My breathing picks up and my vision actually blurs. His lips get closer and-

" I can't do this" I cry before jumping up and running out of my room.
