Daphne

That little fucker!

Our kiss kept playing in my mind all afternoon. I couldn't concentrate on my school work, what my brother was telling me, anything! All I could think or see was Nate standing there outside the school, getting kissed by me.

"...the new school?" - My mom asked me something, while we're eating dinner. But I wasn't listening it until Felix poked my shoulders.

"Daphne, are you okay? You look distracted!" - My mom said, glaring at me.

"She's thinking about her boyfriend!" - Felix teased me, which made my dad instantly alerted.

"What boyfriend? How can you have a boyfriend already? You've been to the school for like a week!" - My dad exclaimed and I gave Felix an evil glare.

"There's no boyfriend! Felix was just joking! There's a boy at school that I'm becoming friends with. That's it!" - I downplayed it, trying not to anger my dad. And you do not want to anger my dad, trust me!

"Whoever he is, I want to meet him! What's his name?" - Dad replied, still not happy about it.

"There's no need, dad! It's just a friend, really. If it becomes something else I'll bring him here, I promise!" - I offered, hoping that'll be enough for him for now.

"I don't want you to go anywhere with this so called friend without letting us know it before, okay?" - Dad demanded and I agreed with him, otherwise I'd never hear the end of it. Thanks, Felix. That's just what I needed right now, my dad on my back about my NOT boyfriend.

Daniel

We were eating dinner. I thought I had got away with my little visit to the school earlier today, but my dad surprised me by asking...

"So, where did you go today when you're supposed to be here grounded, Daniel?" - He said, nonchalant. Nate and Denise gasped. - "Did you really think I wasn't going to find out you took the car and left? I'm the Alpha!" - He spat at me, angrily.

"I'm sorry, dad! I promise I just used it to go to school, nothing major! I just needed to check something out!" - I answered, truthfully.

"You went to school!? How come I didn't see you?" - Nate asked, puzzled.

"I snicked in, Nate. No one saw me. I just needed to find something out." - I replied, sheepishly.

"OK, did you find it?" - He asked, intrigued.

"Found what?" - I replied, not realizing what I've just said.

"Whatever it was you needed at school?" - Nate asked, looking funny at me.

"Oh I did, thanks." - I replied to him. I could tell he was still curious but he let it go, for now.

We're about to finish dinner, when I dropped a bomb at the table.

"So dad, can I still be Alpha if I reject my mate?" - I asked him and everyone, I mean every single person at the table stared at me gobsmacked. Yes, it was a big table that fit at least 50 people. But with wolf hearing, everyone listened to all our conversations. It was inevitable. Only the rooms and offices had privacy.

"That's okay folks, he's just kidding!" - My dad said to everyone with a laughter. - "My son knows the rules!" - He looked deep into my eyes and I knew he was mad. Even worse than he was for me skipping my punishment.

And no, you can't be Alpha without a mate. There's no Alpha without Luna. There has never been and will never be. That's why the Goddess allowed us to get to know our mates in advance, so that we make sure they will be there at our ascension.

Without one, the ceremony doesn't even begin. And I knew that. I've known it since I was a toddler.

There's no rejecting your mate when you're the future Alpha. Not unless you wish to forfeit your birth right.

And I would rather die than abdicate my ascension. I was born for this.

Nate

After that bomb at dinner, I knew something wasn't right with Dan. So, after mom and dad finished talking to him in the play room, I waited for him to go to his bedroom. And as soon as he entered, I follow suit. And closed the door behind me.

"Nate, don't! I'm all talked out!" - He started, lying in his bed. I sat on his chair.

"I don't care! I'm your brother. I'm worried about you! I've never seen you like this before... Keeping secrets, being mysterious, aggressive and that bomb you dropped at dinner. What the fuck?!" - I blurted. I was worried for him. And I have been for quite some time now!

"I'm sorry, okay? You're right!"- He apologized, hands covering his face.

"I'm not here for an apology, Dan! I'm here for you! I don't care about what you said! I don't care who your mate is! I'm sure you're over reacting! I care about you! We don't keep secrets from each other! Like at all!" - I pleaded, visibly stressed. I tried to give him space, but this was escalating fast.

"I know..." - He replied, nearly crying. - "I'm not overreacting, trust me!" - He admitted, looking at me.

"What did you do at school today? Why would you need to go there? Did you talk to Lauren?" - I tried to get to the bottom of it.

"No, I haven't talked to her since our fight and my suspension. She didn't even text me!" - He told me, siting up in the bed.

"Then what did you do? Why aren't you telling me?!" - I insisted. I looked and sounded deeply worried for him.

"Because If I say it out loud, it'll become real!" - He yelled, tears falling from his face.

I could see how distraught he was and I could tell that if I insisted, it would only make it worse for him! So I changed the subject entirely!

"So, Daphne kissed me today!" - I told him and his face changed immediately, turning to a big smile.

Felix

I confess that when my sister told me to stop pinning for the straight jock, I knew she was right, which only made me hate it even more! And I did tried, though seeing him naked didn't help matters, if I'm honest. I mean, come on! Who has that kinda body?! He looked sculpted by the Gods!

Then there was that dream! What a fantastic, vivid, sweaty dream I had with him. But that was all there was to it. A dream. I never thought for a million years I had any chance with him! Actually, I still don't! But what was that kiss today? The more I think about it, the less I understand it!

Truth be told, I've seen this film before! At the city I used to live in, I got involved with a closeted jock. It seems that I have a type! But as things progressed between us, I wanted more. He didn't! Or more accurately, couldn't! It destroyed me! I got so depressed, eventually I tried to commit suicide, which was dumb, I know now! No boy is worth it, no matter how hot he was! And he was pretty hot, though he is no Daniel!

Which brings me to now. Another boy I can't get out of my head! Would this be my fate? Wanting what I can't ever have? They say if you want to get over someone, you need to get under someone new!

I thought about downloading a dating app. But honestly, I'm scared of the closeted guys from this town! I fear they might murder me after sex, just so that they can keep themselves inside the closet!

Damn it! That kiss keeps popping up in my mind! I go take a shower to try to get my mind off it. But that only serves to bring about his naked image in the locker room. Since I'm doomed either way, I might as well get something out of it!

If I can't shake him out, then I should have fun with it! So, I start playing with myself.

Between our kiss and his naked figure in my mind, it didn't take long for me! The more I got close, the more I thought of him, front and back. And then...

Daniel

I felt it! I can't believe I just felt it! I saw it as clear in my mind as if I was watching him climax in front of me! What the hell was happening with me?! And why am I hit with a wave of pleasure all of the sudden that almost made me climax myself?

I mean, seriously! What the fuck is up with that!? Now, even when I'm awake I can feel him? I can sense him!?

Granted, there's no way to know if it's a him as I didn't actually see anyone, just sensed it! But really, this has never happened to me before, not with Lauren not with anyone! And I have a pretty good idea who I just felt it.
