My Known Mate

Feelings and connections

Avery's POV

The water droplets making their way down his body, traveling over the abs of his to disappearing inside the towel wrapped lower on his waist. And the perfect body of his thought, for a second only, but was a scene spending hour to look at and cherish. The way every muscle of his body flexes, whenever he moves and the veins visible in front of his eyes was an overwhelming scene. I wished the time to stop at the moment only and to just keep on staring at the man in front of me.

He was telling me, what was wrong with my laptop, but all my senses were busy only admiring him. He is always there for me, whenever I need someone. Soon, he is going to be our pack’s new alpha and also find his mate, and thinking about him like this, I know it's wrong but I’m not able to help it. I have tried many times to not think about him but can’t help myself, he, again and again, occupies my mind and especially when he is in front of me. So, the only thing I do is to keep it in me.

“Miss. Malloy, Miss. Malloy..” suddenly he started calling my sir's name and I felt someone shaking me. Their, the flashback ends and  I come back to reality, realizing that I am attending my history class. When I turned to my right I saw Kyler, looking at me and again I heard my name being called. Before turning towards the source of the voice, I recognized it. Turning towards the source, I saw Mrs. Mehta looking at me with an eyebrow raised. Standing up, I said, ”Yes, mam.”

“Can you please, enlighten the whole class on your such deep thoughts, you were involved in?” she asked me.

“Ummm….I-I, umm…” not able to make any excuse, I said, “sorry, mam” bending my head.

“Make sure next time, you don’t bring your fairy tale imaginations in the classroom.”  Warning me, she again started teaching.

“Sure mam.” Replying I sat back on my seat, trying to focus on her teaching. History is the subject which I hate the most, it seems like a lullaby to me, which makes you sleep and that too very deeply.

It’s been half-an-hour, since I’m trying to focus in class and the only thing I am understanding is that, right now I need my cozy bed, in which I can sleep without any disturbance. After five minutes, the bell rings and  Mrs. Mehta calls the class off. I got up taking my bag and just ran out of the class, taking a deep breath and stretching my body feeling relaxed. Just then, Kyler comes wrapping his arms around my shoulder, he asked’ “so, what was madam thinking about, huh?”     

“Nothing, just random kinds of stuff,” I replied, awkwardly.

“Oh. Then, why was your face so red, when you were in your thoughts?” He asked, having a sly teasing grin on his lips.

“What? No, I was not blushing.” I replied to him instantly feeling embarrassed.

“Woah, I didn’t say you were blushing. Huh, now, now. Girl, come on spill the beans.” He asked

“I am telling you, there is nothing like what you are thinking. So, just leave the topic.” I replied him acting irritated, thinking he might just leave it.

“Now, don’t you act up, girl. Will you tell me or shall I tell your Aids about this, and then you know  very well what will happen.” He warned me, with a smirk knowing that I will not be able to escape them together.

“What? Don’t you dare Ky? I am telling you, that there is nothing, then that means there is nothing. Understood?” I replied to him, and ran from there, feeling my face getting heated.

“HEY, WAIT” I heard him calling me and chasing. But before he can reach me, I entered the girl’s washroom escaping him. Entering the washroom, I exhaled loudly and looked at my reflection in the mirror. My face was red with all the blushing, only the thought of him or his name makes me feel all giddy. Sighing, I splashed water on my face and applied a lip balm, and left the washroom smiling at myself. I got out looking here and there, being careful not to face Ky, while going towards the canteen.

Entering the canteen, I went to the counter and ordered a Chicken burger, French fries, and a Coke. Paying the bill, I scanned the canteen to find a table empty in a corner. Going there, I sat down taking out my phone, and going through it, I started eating.

 While scrolling through, an Aids photo came in between, and I started adoring it, touching his cheeks and imagining how soft it must be and to pull it, then his those intense green eyes using which he can hypnotize anyone he wants, those lips don’t know how will they taste when kissing, and the stubbled chin of his which makes him look so sexy and hot. Admiring his picture my mind screams, “Oh God, Ave what are thinking, control yourself girl, control..” smiling, I feel my face getting heated, just thinking about what I was imagining.

“So, here you are after escaping, huh?” Came the voice from my behind, hearing it I turned my phone off and got up hurrying to get away from him and his questions, thinking he must have seen me admiring Aids picture but he is fast enough to catch hold of my wrist and stopping me from running away. Sighing, I turned to him asking, “what?” not making contact with his eyes.

“You tell me, what were you doing that you got up so hurriedly and was running away too?” he asked raising his brow looking behind me at the table to find some clue.

“What was I doing, nothing just eating my food. And I was running because I thought you will again start  your inquiry.” I reply shrugging acting calm and again sat back to finish my food.

“So what, if you did not tell me now, I will know it afterward.” He says, shrugging his shoulder. “And it, not like as if you are crushing over someone, or are you?” He continued jokingly. But hearing him I choked on my food and looked away.

“Woah girl, chill. I was just kidding” he said and I silently drank my coke and looked away from him.

After filling my stomach with some foods, we both moved towards our next class. Today my friend Lily didn’t come to school, so I’ll have to attend it on my own, as Ky has his Math class. I am glad that it’s an English class because it’s my fav and I can attend it even for 5 hours without any break. But still, I am missing her, between all the humans here, she is the only one who I love to spend time with.

She is such a pure-hearted person. I have even told her about Aids, how I started liking him and about our childhood days, and even how much I am into him. She always asks me to confess him, because I have not told her about us, being a werewolf. And I believe that when I will find my mate, I will get over him due to the pull of the mate bond. I believe in Moon Goddess's decision, she must have chosen the correct person for us. I can now only wish for Aids to be my mate, even I feel some kind of connection between us, but I don’t know what it is.

2 Hours Later

Finally, entering the house I slump down on the couch in the hall. I closed my eyes, keeping my head on the back of the couch. After five minutes, I open my eyes and see Aids coming down the stairs. He is wearing a t-shirt and a track pant, with his wet hair styled back. Even in a simple dress, he is looking so sexy.

“Hey” he came to me and greeted taking a seat beside me.

“Hii” greeting him, I kept on staring at him.

“Where is Kyler?” he asked, bringing me out of my trance and replying with “huh..”

“What are you thinking? I asked, where is Kyler?” he said.

“Oh, he has gone for training,” I replied.

“Oh, so how was your day at school?” he asked.

“Nothing special, just regular classes and boring lectures. Upon that Lily was also absent today.” I replied, exhaling loudly.

“Oh, that I can say, by looking how much exhausted you are..” he replied with a chuckle. I  scoffed at his reply, he knows how Lily and I always are stuck together in school. And how bore I get if she doesn’t come for even a day. Except for him and Ky, she is my only friend. So, it’s obvious for him to guess.

“See you later, I’m gonna freshen up now.” Saying this, I got up to leave.

“Hey, how is your laptop working now?” he asked, holding my hand to stop me from leaving. But he does not know that this small act of his just makes my breath hitched.

Then, clearing my throat, I reply to him, “umm…it’s working good, thanks.” Taking my hand away from his, I turn away and just fled away from him to my room.

Reaching my room, I just locked my door and exhaled, then, only I realized that I was holding my breath till now. Oh god, what is happening to me, I was just fine before even after having feelings for him for years but, why now I get so nervous around him?

I go and sit on my bean bag near the window, and rest my head on the wall closing my eyes to open it instantly. What is going on with me Moon Goddess? Everywhere, I am only seeing him and that too from yesterday, since I saw him half-naked in the towel."Arrrggghhh" Am I a lusty person or what, that after seeing him like that, I am getting crazy.

Aves control your hormones and heart, I say in my head. Next month he is going to be eighteen and will find his mate so just, stop thinking about him, understood, just stop. Taking a long breath I again rest my head on the wall behind, closing my eyes, but again to see him like yesterday only, half-naked. I instantly open my eyes frustratingly and looks at the sky, asking Moon Goddess, “Why do I feel like this for him, like having some connection? And instead of decreasing, the feelings are just increasing and now after yesterday I don’t know?” sighing, I just wish for him to be my mate. Then moving to my bed, laying on it, I asked and prayed Moon Goddess, “can’t he be my mate?”

Can he?
