Daphne

The next day at school I take the first opportunity I get to talk to Nate. As I approach him on the corridor, he started smiling, knowing I was coming to him. I have to confess that it's kinda nice being welcomed with a smile every single time. Almost as if he was in a perpetual good mood around me. Yeah... swoon.

"Good morning, everyone. Nate, can I talk to you for a sec?" - I said, loking serious. He, his friends and siblings all greeted me back.

"Of course, let's go." - He replied, separating himself from his 'pack' as we went to talk somewhere else.

As soon as we reached an empty corner inside the school, I turned my accusatory glance to him.

"Did you trick me yesterday? Because ever since we kissed, I..." - I said as I notice the grin in his face opens wider. I gasped at this.

"Well, continue!" - He pleaded. But I looked at him suspiciously.

"I mean, did you use your" - I started whispering - "werewolf powers on me to make me kiss you?" - I had barely finished the sentence and he started laughing out loud. Really, he wasn't discreet about it at all.

"No, we don't have that kind of power... I am a werewolf not a Jedi." - He snickered, laughing at me.

"You don't need to be a jerk about it! I was just asking because I don't know!" - I reprimanded him. He stops laughing at this.

"You're right, I'm sorry! No, I did not trick you into kissing me. I asked you, remember?" - He replied in a light tone.

"Yes, I remember." - I deadpan. - "It's just now all I can think of is..." - I trailed off.

"What?" - He asked, looking at me quizzically.

The school bell rings. But before we move to go to class, I kiss him unexpectedly. He kissed me back, of course. He kisses me like he's savoring something sweet and too precious no to. Damn, he tastes so good! I could kiss him for ever.

When I arrived home after school, Dan was waiting for me by the door. Literally. I thought we had a nice time talking last night, but this morning at breakfast he looked at me like he wanted to ask me something.

As soon as he saw me, he signal me to follow him to his room and so I did. I barely had time to close the door before he began talking.

"Nate, I'm sorry but I need to ask you something." - He started in a serious tone and I could tell this wasn't a light subject. We usually could talk about anything. There's no taboo between us. But if he's asking permission, here comes the bomb...

"Ask me anything, Dan, you know I'm an open book." - I said as I sat in the chair and dropped my school bag.

"I mean, I wouldn't normally ask you this, but you're the only one of us who found his mate. And I can't exactly ask my parents about this!" - He replied and I was getting nervous by his tone.

"Dude, what is it? You're making me nervous!"- I exclaimed to him, anxiously.

"Did you ever sense when Daphne..." - He trailed off. I could sense the nervousness in his words.

"When Daphne what?" - I asked him, quizzically.

"When she came?" - He finally blurted. I could tell how uncomfortable he was. I'm too, but now I'm more relieved to be honest.

"Oh." - I laughed at it, nervously. - "Is that it? Dan, you really scared me for a moment!" - I said to him with a heavy sigh.

"You're always so closed off about this, I thought you're going to think I was being a pervert." - He confessed, somewhat relieved at my playful disposition.

"That might be true if it was any other person, but I know you! That's not who you are!" - I assured him with a serious glance his way.

"Thanks bro, I knew I could talk to you." - Now, he seemed completely at ease.

"Of course! You know I would never judge you, right? I don't care who your mate is, I only care that she makes you happy." - I said as I see him nodding along with his head.

"Also, I don't care if you two had kinky sex in your dreams. Even if you're into S&M or whatever the hell you did in your dream." - As I said this, he started laughing out loud.

"My point is there's nothing you can't tell me. There's nothing you could do or say that would make me turn my back to you!" - I reassured him in a sincere tone.

"I know, Nate, I know. But thanks for saying it. You're the best brother and Beta an Alpha could have asked for!" - He told me with a wide smile. This is nice. I miss talking openly with him for once. We have always been so close that I can't even imagine my life without my brother next to me.

"But to answer your question, I haven't sensed it yet unfortunately. But I am looking forward to it." - I stated with a naughty grin. - "Wait, did you?" - I inquired, positively intrigued.

"YES! Last night, it was the weirdest thing ever! I was just chilling in my bed, when suddenly I was hit by this wave of..." - He started to explain, so static he's even gesticulating.

"Pleasure, like I was watching someone come right in front of me. It was the weirdest thing I've ever experienced in my life! It was like I was watching a play that I could only feel, but couldn't see or interact. You know?" - I could tell he was very excited about it. I would be too if I were in his shoes, so I can relate.

"I'm telling you, you're in a for a treat!" - He smirked. - "I never had this with Lauren, you know? It's a complete different sensation when it's with your mate! I could feel his entire body shaking as he came..." - As he said that, then it hit me. He was so concentrated in telling the story, that he din't even realize it what he just said.

Now, everything comes crashing down on me: the recent events, the fight, the dreams, the secrecy, it all came down at me like a ton of bricks. My jaw's on the floor! I can't believe this!
