My Friend My Mate

Chapter 6

Xander

I was shocked seeing Josh, how was this possible I know we are both straight then how?

I heard Josh ask me " You're my mate?" his tone was filled with disbelief which made me feel a little hurt I was not expecting him to hug me or anything knowing that we are mates but I was not prepared for this reaction either.

I nodded in silence while not breaking eye contact. I suddenly notice him shift uncomfortably from one leg to another. That's when I realised we were both naked and seeing him like that did some crazy things to my body. 

"I guess we should go back to the pack house and talk privately about this whole thing if you are okay with it?" I asked. He nodded and said yeah we should I mean I don't want people thinking we are ... you know.. 

Honestly it hurt when he said that I knew he wanted to reject me but I could not show how that made me feel. I had to be strong I am an Alpha and yes he is my best friend. So we quickly put on some clothes and walked back in silence to the pack house.

Josh

It was awkward but I was scared he would reject me so I tried to act tough in front of him. I really dont understand what is happening but I think if we talk about it that should be great. As we reached the pack house my family, Xander's family and all our friends were waiting to greet me. Everyone crowded around me but suddenly I felt sad I noticed Xander walking into the pack house with his head hung low. Did I do that to him? It hurt thinking I caused him pain. It was really weird to feel like this but seeing my best friend my mate hurt made me want to run and hug him. I told everyone I was really tired and needed to speak to Xander so I quickly followed him.

Xander

I entered into my room feeling like my heart was broken. I don't know whats happening but I don't like. Suddenly someone knocked and his scent filled my senses making him calm down. "Come in" I said and Josh walks in. "Hey" he said and sat on the chair opposite me. "I guess we should talk" he said and I nodded.
