Chapter Three:

          “What do you think you were doing Jade?!?” Cala had a fierce grip on my shirts sleeve and was busy trying to pull me out of Mike’s bed.

          “Cala… Stop please! It’s okay… It was all my doing!” My face was bright red and my words were a little messed up, though she could understand me completely.

          “What… Why…” Cala looked at me with wide eyes and slowly her grip loosened on my sleeve.

          My beta was generally very protective of me, but right now it was astonishing how much she wanted to kick Mike’s butt for kissing me. I felt waves of anger and fear washing over Cala, but at the same time I felt Mike’s happy and cheerful feelings. Once Cala finally let go of me fully, I slowly got up and took her hand. I began to lead her out of the room so we could talk; I just knew something was bothering her.

          “Alright; talk. What’s going on with you Cala?” My hand was on her shoulder in a supporting way.

          “I just never thought that you would actually like someone like Mike…” Cala’s eyes were darting around the room, unsure if that would upset me or not.

          “Oh Cala… I thought you knew I had always thought Mike was attractive in a way. Though maybe this mark brought out those feelings I had suppressed for so long.” I wanted to hug my young beta, we were all young. None of us were prepared for any mate markings or drama with the council.

          “Jade… I just... I’m scared for you, he has so much experience in this field and you’re-“

          Cutting Cala off I let out a soft growl, just because I didn’t have much experience in the romantic category didn’t mean I wouldn’t be able to handle myself. She took my growl as a sign it was time for her to leave and sleep for the night. Quietly she sulked off into her room assigned to her at the end of the hall. I let a soft sigh out as I walked back into Mike’s room.

          “What was that growl to her about?” Mike’s eyebrow was raised up in a questioning way. Well, I guess he overheard a little of what was discussed.

          “She made me upset, so I dismissed her to bed.” I flopped down on the bed next to him and snuggled up close to him.

          “Whatever she did or said to you, she probably didn’t mean it. I mean she walked in on us; getting frisky.” He wiggled his eyebrows when he said the last part. I couldn’t contain my laughter, quickly my face turned red and I couldn’t breathe.

          “What? What did I say?” Mike tilted his head to the side as if he had no clue what he did to make me die from laughter.

          He kept on pressing on why I had laughed so much from that, but I ignored him and just continued to snuggle up against him, taking in how fast his heartbeat was, the way he breathed, and the wonderful smell he had. Within seconds, we had both fallen asleep in each other’s arms.
