"For some odd reason I have a feeling we need to protect hIm," mike said to me while we was walking to check up on Jake. "I know but do you think he's our mate"
"No but I think he's someone that's important to us. I just can't explain it but our body is screaming to protect him at all cost."
He was right our body was telling us this but why would it. As i watch him finish throwing up I notice dark purplish bruises around the back of his neck. They look like they was about two or three days old. He must have seen my eyes wondering around his body before he spoke "Combative training".
"Combating training leaves bruises around your neck like that? I didn't notice choking was involve in that type of training." I gave him a questionable look.
It's clear he ignored my comment. I knew Jake long enough to know he was a bad liar. Not only that but he avoid it by not saying anything.
Mate. We heard his brother say for the distance we was at, and I swore i saw a tear run down his left eye before he wiped it away. He had so much emotion running across his face but hurt was clear as day. Somethings not right. "I think I'm tired from all the traveling, we should problem head back" he spoke.
"Okay. Ill take you to the beta quarters that's assign to your pack. And maybe later we can catch a few beers." He just shook his head as we walked to the pack house. Mid way I suddenly had to stop not because I felt eyes staring at my back , but because the most delicious smell came from the trees behind us. It smelled like sweet pineapple mixed with summer rain. But when I turned to look there was nothing. Could it be coming from Jake?
"You ok Coop" Jake said with a raised eyebrow. "Yeah i thought I smelt something. Being around all these wolves is fucking with my senses. Come on lets head in." As i passed him i made sure i took a sniff. Thankfully its not him. Not saying anything wrong with him we just been through a lot. I see him as a brother more than a friend.
"Later we have to check that out once we get Jake settle" I told Mike who became quiet which wasn't out the normal but kinda out the normal if that makes sense. Once we headed up the stairs I notice everyone was still in the same position when I left.
"Congratulations are finally in order" I mindlink Blake. " Don't be to rash. Coop somethings not right this isn't my mate." I looked at him shocked because the moon goddess made this omega for him and he saying that this is a mistake. "Alpha don't tell me you feel this way because he's a male?" "Fuck no, it just there's only those sparks but nothing else. No mate pull. No smell. His eyes are dull. There's literally NOTHING!" I could feel his frustration through the mindlink. "Maybe you just have to get to know him first. I'm not a rocket scientist or anything on the matter but that might be it." And just like that he cut off our mindlink. He usually do that when he knows I'm right but don't want to agree with me. Damn ass.
"So ," I finally spoke because the silence of everyone standing there was bothering me. "I'm going to take beta Jake to the beta suite because he said he isn't feeling well." I nod my head towards the door at Jake. "No he will wait for me in my suite to discuss important matter" alpha rick spoke but it was bitterly.
"I have a feeling we shouldn't leave him with Rick, Cooper" Mike said. "I couldn't agree with you more but he's his alpha and its not much we can do. I seen the slight fear in Jake eyes. But as quick and it came it disappeared. Once again somethings not right.
"Lead the way Coop" Jake said. All I could do was nod and for some odd reason guilt flooded through my body.
Way to start a weekend.
