Two Hearts, One Future

*** Jessamine's POV *** I woke up at 5 am, like I usually do, and hop out of bed. The sun hasn't risen yet so my room was pretty dark but I could make my way through it easily because of my werewolf sight. We essentially have night vision goggles built-in. I head towards my closet and put on some black workout shorts and a black sports bra. The outfit was skimpy and tight but I loved teasing the men in our pack. My favorite man to tease was Calloway Deveraux. He was my childhood best friend and the man I have been in love with him for as long as I can remember.  I am the daughter of the Alpha of our pack and Cal is the son of the Beta of our pack. We were raised together and were entirely inseparable. Everyone in our pack, the Lune Pack, had hoped that when we turned 18 that we would find out that we were mates and yet our 18th birthday came and went, and sadly we were not each other's mates. My heart was broken and so was Cal's but we both pretended that it was okay and continued our friendship like nothing had happened. It wasn't like either of us wanted a mate anyways. We were both warriors in our pack and focused more on training than we did love.  Once I was dressed I went into my bathroom. I washed my face and brushed my long wavy blond hair into a high ponytail. Some wispy baby hair that didn't make it into the ponytail framed my heart-shaped face. My eyes were a dark green that had lighter and darker green flecks throughout them. My lips were plump and pink. My nose was small and dainty and turned up slightly at the end. I knew I was found to be quite attractive but I didn't think much about it other than when I am trying to look good for Cal. Once I was content with my appearance I went out to the training field.  Cal was out on the training field shirtless and stretching with his back facing me. I watched his back muscles rippling and I could feel my core heating up. I was still a virgin and I've never touched men, other than in battle, but I wondered what it would feel like to have Cal's lips against mine. Cal turned around as I walked closer and I started blushing. Cal grinned at me and my heart skipped a beat. He was so tall and muscular. He had tanned skin and hazelnut hair that had sun-bleached high lights since he was always outdoors. His eyes were a warm chocolate brown that reminded me of my childhood.  "Hey Jessa," Cal threw his arm around me as I walked up next to him. I was 5'8" and he was 6'1" so his arm rested comfortably on my shoulders. I subconsciously leaned into him.  "Morning Cal, ready to get your ass beat again?" I teased him playfully as I grab his arm and twist it behind his back. Cal and I are the head warriors of our pack and ran the daily training every morning 7 am till 10 am, but we always started earlier to make sure we were at our peak performance.  Cal and I began to spar. After about thirty minutes I had him pinned. We were both breathing heavily and smiling. "You always win, we need to find you an actual competitor," Cal smiled as he ran his hand through his hair.  "You are an actual competitor Cal, you're the only person that lasts longer than 10 minutes," I point out with a  smile of my own. I get off of him and lay on the grass and stare at the sky as it started turning pink and blue due to the rising sun.  "Jessa?" I heard Cal call out my name, I turn my head and meet his chocolate eyes. They looked unsure. My stomach ached because I had a feeling that I knew what he was about to say. "I heard that your father invited a lot of packs for a Ball." "Umm," we both know why my father was hosting a ball, "Yeah," I say awkwardly. Cal looked away and back up at the sky. "He's hoping you'll finally find your mate?" he asked, his voice steady, and yet I could see that he was clenching his fists. I sit up and pluck some grass from the ground. I throw it at him and it lands directly on his face. He sputters and spits out some grass that I managed to get in his mouth. "What was that for?" he laughed. "Punishment. You know I don't want a mate, don't say such stupid things to me!" I threw some more grass at his face and he laughed again, stood up, and grabbed me by the waist and we started grappling again.  a/n Welcome to the world of Jessamine De' Fleur.
