"Ummm, I don't know how I feel about you doing that. Please never do that again." I said not having the guts to look him in his eye."oh... I am sorry." The red haired boy softly spoke. I glanced back up at him and with a large forced smile I said "No, I meant not in public." "Your forced smile is uglier than then your lies, Hayden!" He spat with venom. He was no longer looking me in the eyes, but I could tell they were filled with sorrow. We stood up side by side and opened the double doors to be meat with all of the eyes of our gang. I was still caught up on the fact that Yaboku called this boy my mate. He tapped my shoulder pulling me from my trance "could you pay attention for once!" Mikaela growled at me. I have no clue why, but his words weighed heavily on my chest. Enough that I began to tear up without me noticing. "I-I… Hayden listen I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you upset." Mikaela began to coo. Maximus, Y's husband was not standing for it though, he sat up and had the intention of putting Mikaela in his place. "I get that you may not be used to what's happening here, but I would advise you to one watch how you speak to my family and two I wouldn't make him cry if I were you." Mikaela slumped at the edge of the couch. " Max, that wasn't necessary!" I yelled wiping my tears. "Listen, all I ask is that you explain to me what all of this mate stuff means." Of course I know what a mate and stuff is, after all I did binge Wattpad romance stories during my lunch period. I always love reading the omega verse and other stuff (😏). Y and Max mentally face palmed and went on to giving me an explanation. "The way our expectations and limitations work is through different ranks. We have the alpha, who is at the top of our hierarchy but I am sure you already know that since I looked at your Wattpad. They go into rut like an omega how's into heat, both lasting a week. But anyway, enough about the hierarchy. What matters is you and your mate, once mated you are going to be able to carry children. If you happen to be marked by your mate… you're basically sharing that your mate has claimed you. Once you go to your actual world you'll notice you have different physical traits as well as emotional. I can tell by your sent that you haven't been home since you were an infant. You have almost no sent of the supernatural. Now listen closely, you going back will be painful. Your body will be changing." I sat there wide eyed with my mouth open. "If you keep your mouth open like that you might eat a fly love." Mikaela joked, barely holding back a chuckle. What the hell am I going to do?
