*This follows Jason’s POV after he left Theo’s porch when Theo said he was going to ask John out.*
“I can’t believe he would rather hang out with that human than ME!” I angrily mumbled out loud, though I was talking to Geri.
“As much as I hate to point this out, because I feel the same way, you know he’s always had feelings for the human. Even Fenris loves that human.” Geri was right, and it only pissed me off more.
“HE’S MY ALPHA!” I shouted at him.
“Exactly Jason. He’s your Alpha. And you’re his Beta. As far as he’s concerned, that the extent of your relationship. He clearly doesn’t realize how you feel about him. Fenris doesn’t even notice how I feel about him. They both clueless.”
I sighed in defeat at the comment. I needed to run. Geri needed to run. I let Geri take control, and we shifted to his wolf form and just ran. I lost track of where we had gone, I just wanted to clear my head and unwind. Suddenly, I caught the most delicious scent of lavender mixed with rosemary and sandalwood. It was a mouthwatering scent. So I followed it to see where it took me.
I ended up across the street from a house I’d never seen before. I sniffed the air and knew the scent was coming from that house. There was another smell I couldn’t figure out. It was just as delicious to me though. I went to step closer to the house, to get a better look at what was giving off those amazing scents, when Geri pulled us to an abrupt halt. Wide eyed, I just stared at the person in the doorway. The smell couldn’t be coming from him, I would have noticed it sooner if it was his. I couldn’t see the face of the man inside very clearly, but I watched them say a couple of words to each other. I couldn’t hear what they were saying to each other from this distance. I breathed in once more, at the same time the figure in the doorway did, and I knew the smell was coming from the person he was talking to.
“No wonder Theo is in love with that human. He smells amazing.” Geri said, which caused me to understand the one thing that slipped my mind. If that amazing smell was coming from the one Theo had left to see, that could only mean that man is John. I tried to move closer to see his face, but I knew Theo would smell me or hear me if I got too close… I could not believe John was the source of such a mouthwatering scent. This only made me angrier. The other scent wasn’t as strong as John’s, but I knew it was coming from the same house. I never noticed the smell before, but it had to be coming from Theo. There was no other explanation for the scent.
“The combination of their scents is making me dizzy. We should head back to the pack house.” I thought to Geri.
“I don’t know if I can make it back Jason. We might need to change. The scent is already making me feel too weak.” With that, I changed back to human.
I stumbled, in a haze for what felt like hours, naked, through the woods in what I thought was the direction of the pack house. I was so out of it that I couldn’t really figure out where I was… At some point I must have laid down and given up on finding my way. I closed my eyes and completely blacked out.
When I woke up, light had barely began to break. It couldn’t have been later than five in the morning. I stood up and tried to figure out where I was.
“Geri?” If I blacked out I know he did.
“Well that was weird.” Geri said in a groggy voice.
“Are… we okay?” I asked hesitantly.
“I know about as much as you do about our current state. Whatever that scent was… it was intoxicating. Do you think… no never mind…”
“Do I think what, Geri?” I pushed.
“Don’t be mad?” I rolled my eyes at the question, but he continued with out a response. “Do you think that was the mating call?” Stunned by the question, I couldn’t even reply. I wouldn’t even entertain the idea of John being my mate. Aside from him being human, I hated than man, and Theo was in love with him. There is no way I would be that kind of friend to him.
I shifted back to my wolf, and sniffed my way around until I could figure out where I was. It didn’t take me to much longer to find my way home, but the sun was all the way up by the time I did make it back. I changed back to my human form, and found the bag of clothes I had left at the edge of the woods. Instead of going to the pack house like I had planned, I went to my own house, and got myself cleaned up.
A few hours later, I found myself walking through the pack house out of boredom. There went many people here at this hour. Mostly the younger pups, and pregnant male Omegas… for obvious reasons, they didn’t leave the pack house while pregnant. I sat in the game room, and watched a random sports channel on the TV. It was just about lunch time, when I heard the front door slam shut, making me, and everyone in the house run out to see what it was about.
Theo had come home in a fowl mood. Which I was silently happy about, because that had to mean problems with John… Right? I trailed after him to his office. Once I was in there, I closed the door behind me and watched him throw shit around in anger. This wasn’t uncommon, in fact, when things didn’t go exactly how he wanted them to go, this was the result.
“Hey T. Everything okay?” I asked, trying not to sound happy.
“Yeah. Sure. My boyfriend is out meeting up with another man today, but yeah I’m okay.” My heart raced in pain.
“You and John? You’re officially a thing now?”
“Yeah. We spent the evening talking, and loving… but then suddenly he became distant, and randomly brought up going to meet his old high school buddy. I tried not to be mad about it, but internally I was going crazy.” He started rambling on and on about the night he shared with John. The more detail he shared, the more my heart ached in jealousy.
“So what I’m hearing is you allowed you new boyfriend to go and meet up with some old friend of his, whom you already know you hate?” I pointed out, intentionally trying to make him angrier.
“I DIDN’T ALLOW HIM TO DO ANYTHING! HE JUST WENT AND DID IT!!” He exploded. This was too easy.
“So why don’t we go and following him?” I suggested.
“No. He made it perfectly clear he wouldn’t be tolerant of the overbearing stalker partner.” His voice got quiet. “He’s my best friend. I can’t let the fact that we’re partners now change how I treat him. Sure I want to be protective of him, but I can’t be the kind of protective I want to be because he doesn’t know I’m a fucking werewolf. I know I need to tell him. Because the longer I wait, the more mad he’ll get when he finds out.” As much as I hated that he was so head over heals for someone who wasn’t me, I really didn’t want to hurt his relationship because I couldn’t stand the idea of seeing him hurt from losing his love. I decided I should stop ‘poking the bear’ as the saying goes.
“Ignoring the fact that I’m not your best friend,” I gave him a pointed, but playful glare, “maybe I can help get your mind off things?” I suggested.
“Want to go on that run we never got to go on yesterday?” He offered.
“That sounds great.” I said, ignoring the fact that my body was still sore from last nights run… or, more accurately, from sleeping on the ground in the middle of the woods.
Within the following fifteen minutes, Theo and I had made our way deep into the woods, and transformed into our wolves. We started to run aimlessly around our entire pack land. Eventually we stumbled on the hidden lake in our woods and we decided to play in the water. We enjoyed the freedom we had. He was starting to relax more and more as the hours went on. I was so lost in having this kind of time with Theo and Fenris, that I hadn’t noticed that it was started to get dark. When Theo go out of the water, he beckoned me to follow, but I didn’t really want to go back. I want to stay in this moment forever. I knew that wasn’t possible, but that’s what I wanted. Reluctantly, I finally got out of the lake, and we lazily trotted back towards the pack house.
“Theo?” I called out in our heads, causing him to look over at me. “You really love John, don’t you?” He nodded his head yes. “Is he your mate?” I asked in a more hushed thought. Theo just kind of stared off ahead before he finally spoke up.
“Honestly. I don’t know. What I feel is so strong, I think maybe it could be the mating call. But at the same time, it doesn’t feel like a solid pull in one direction. It feels like I’m being pulled in two directions, but I don’t think I’m meant to pick one or the other. I think I can go both directions at the same time… if that makes any sense.” He explained. I feel he’s lost his mind, but he seems so level headed.
“That makes absolutely no sense, Theo.” I couldn’t hold that thought from coming out.
“I know it sounds crazy. I think in order for it to make better sense, I will need to tell John about me… so that when I’m ready to head in that second direction, he might be more willing to go with me. The pull I feel to him is the stronger pull, so I want to pursue it first. I’ll figure the rest out as I go.” I felt a pang of hope just then… I’m not sure why though. Maybe hope that I could have a chance with Theo still? If what he’s saying is true, and he feels more than one pull, then maybe what I’m feeling isn’t completely insane?
We finally made it back to the pack house, changing back to our human selves before walking through the front door. Living as a werewolf was amazing in my opinion, because we were basically a nudist colony where waking around in public areas butt-ass-naked was a totally normal part of our lives. I took this chance to admire Theo’s natural state. I took in every beautiful curve of his muscles, his radiate snow white skin, the way he held himself in total confidence. He was facing away from me, so I took that moment to admire the delicious round ass of his on full display, before he unexpectedly turned to face me, putting his very large cock right in my view… my face grew very hot and I averted my eyes without making eye contact with him. I was to embarrassed I just got caught ogling him.
I turned to walk back out of the pack house to go
be embarrassed in the comfort and privacy of my own home. Theo caught my arm
before I made it out the door, causing me to look back at him. The expression
he held on his face was confusing. It was like he was trying to read me, but
like he was also silently pleading for something, though I had no idea what. I
honestly didn’t know what to make of this.
“Um… I was just going back to my place… I’m… Uh… yeah…” I slipped my arm from his grasp and left without finishing the thought. What was that even about?! If I wasn’t confused before, I sure as hell am now. I sighed as I made my way to my porch and headed in for the night.

so be signifcantly longer or shorter than others. It's unintentional on
my part, but I hope you enjoy the story regardless!***
