The Prophecy

Chapter 6

Jake's POV

I look at the two girls standing before me and Eric. Eric is not letting the one girls arm go. I try to get his attention but he is staring at her as if he is seeing a ghost.

The girl with the short black hair walks up to us and puts her hand out, "Hi there, I am Aubrey Jones, and this beauty here is Emily Adams", I shake her hand and reply "Nice to meet you, my name is Jake Carter and this is my friend Eric Black", Eric tenses and seems to come to his senses. "It's nice to meet you both" Eric says still keeping his eyes on the girl infront of him.

Finally the girl, Emily I think, speaks. She reaches her hand out to greet me and as soon as our hands touch I feel an immense connection with her. It sends a jolt up both our arms. "What the f**k was that?" I whisper more to myself, but knowing Eric can hear me. She looks even more freaked out now. Eric looks at me, then at her, then gets really angry at me. "It's impossible" he shouts and then storms off. What just happened?

Emily's POV

I still feel the shock that shot up my arm after I greeted Jake. What's even more strange is the tingles I felt when Eric had his hand on my arm. I felt a strange connection to both guys and it did not make sense. I did not even get a chance to thank them for saving Aubrey and I since they both walked off. "So which one do you like the most?" Aubrey asks pulling me out of my thoughts. I start to blush thinking about Eric. He is about 6.2 feet. Very handsome. He has a strong athletic build. He has blonde hair and green eyes. The most amazing plump lips that look so kissable and... "Helloooo, Earth to Emily" Aubrey says waving her hands infront of my face.

I immediately start blushing, I hadn't realized how hot and bothered I had been feeling since I met Eric and Jake. "Um well neither of them really, you know I'm not looking for a boyfriend now Aubs... I want to finish school this year and start studying..." "Boo..." Aubrey says, "They are both gorgeous... but I saw the way that Eric guy looked at you, it looked like he wanted to eat you or something", she mimics his stare and we both burst out laughing. "He is so good-looking Aubs, he would never want a plain Jane like me, Alexis is more his type" I say looking down at my feet. "Well let's find out" Aubrey says while walking down the stand to the field where the game has just ended.

Eric's POV

I can not get that girl out of my head... the tingles that shot up my arm when I held her and helped her up. The strong anger I felt when I saw that other b***h push her. She seems so soft. She has long reddish brown hair, the most beautiful blue eyes I've ever seen and she is hot as hell. The small freckles on her cheecks and nose are adorable, she smells like freshly baked cookies with a hint of citrus and what the actual f**k is wrong with me? I rub my face and try to shake the image out of my mind.

"Mate", I hear in my mind... what? I ask my wolf Midnight... "She is our mate". Well that makes sense. I turned 18 two months ago and I gained my wolf Midnight. When we gain our wolves we immediately start wanting our mate, which is sort of like a soul mate to our kind. Midnight is pitch black with a white Cresent shape on his chest. Well how am I going to speak to her, she does not have her wolf yet and she seemed oblivious to the sparks I felt when I touched her. Then there is the matter that Jake seemed to have felt the sparks too. His seemed more intense though. They both shot back at the contact.

"Our mate, not Jake's!!!" My wolf shouts in my head again, I feel the anger begin to rise towards my best friend and future Alpha. Us wolves are very possessive, she will be mine.

Jake's POV

"What the hell Eric, why did you storm off like that?" I ask him as I find him sitting close to the field waiting for the game to start. He jumps up and grabs my arm, "She is mine" he says through clenched teeth. I don't understand until I realize he is talking about that girl Emily. The one I felt a connection to.

"Is... is she your mate?" I ask him as he is shaking with anger. "I saw you, I saw the shock between you and her, she can't have 2 Mates, she can't be connected to you and I, she just can't!!" He says trying to keep his control. Since I don't have my wolf yet, I can't tell if Emily is my mate, I feel a connection with her, but not as overwhelming as what Eric feels.  The shock was intense, but it didn't make me feel like I've met my mate... I don't know how to explain it.

"Chill bro, I would never do anything to go after your mate, I can't deny I didn't feel a connection, but it was not a mate connection, I don't know how I know, but I just know it's not a mate connection" I say trying to calm my friend down. "I'm sorry Jake, I just got so jealous, I couldn't control it man" he says feeling bad for the way he reacted. "It's ok, we knew what to expect when we found our mates right, they warn us, jealousy, possessiveness, crazy amount of love etc" I say slapping him on the back. "Now how are we going to find them again?" I ask as we get told to get on the field for our football game.
