(Jonathan’s POV)
I arrived late only to find out that everyone was losing their minds over Everett finding his mate. Boy was I jealous. How could the Moon Goddess make me wait for my mate like this? I know it’s only been 10 days since my birthday, but man I was dying to find her. I even made sure to save myself for her, which among male werewolves that was unheard of.
Most unmated males were huge man whores and it’s almost nonexistent to have a male stay pure for their mate. Especially not a ranked wolf. Take Everett, my Beta, whose been community property since he turned 16. But I was different, I wanted my Luna to be pure so I wanted to give her the same in return. I grew up believing that the mate bond was so sacred that I didn’t want to taint that bond with someone who wasn’t my mate.
I started to walk towards the gymnasium when the sweetest smell I’ve ever known hit me. It smelled like cotton candy, maybe sweeter. Just as I caught the scent, my wolf Felix started going crazy.
Mate! Our mate is here! Go get our mate!
Calm down I’m gonna find her.
I followed the scent past the commotion with Everett at the lockers and headed towards the main hallway where there was only was person down there.
Mate!
I had to fight Felix from trying to take control. I looked at the girl whose back was turned away from me. She had straight dark brunette hair that hit the middle of her back. She had wide hips, thicker thighs, and nice round ass that was big for her frame. She was very short and she looked even shorter the closer I got to her. Man, the Moon Goddess outdid herself.
Just then, she turned around and ran directly into my chest. She pulled back quickly and realized it was Jordan White. The shy girl in my Art class was my mate and I was absolutely happy with that. I always thought she was pretty and she always seemed nice. Thank you Moon Goddess. Just as I recognized her, she realized who I was and her eyes widened in fear and I could see how nervous she was but before I could say anything, she mumbled the word “crap” and ran away.
No! Our mate is leaving! Go get her you i***t!!
It doesn’t seem like she was too happy to be our mate, Felix.
Follow her! Make her love us!
Felix, I want her as much as you do but we can’t force ourselves on her. She is very shy and quiet. She’s probably never even been that close to a guy before.
Ugh! Fine.
Felix gave up and retreated back. I took a deep breath and headed to Math class. Math was my first period class. Art and Science were the classes I had with Jordan so I would see her in Art, which was fourth period and Science which was seventh period. I couldn’t wait to see my mate again.
...............
I was sitting on the edge of my seat in my third period English class waiting for the bell to finally ring. As I’m staring at the clock, I felt a tap on my shoulder.
“What are you so antsy about?” Everett asked me, noticing how anxious I was to get up.
“I just really want to get to my next class.” I said still staring at the clock.
“Since when are you excited to go to Art?”
“Since I found my mate this morning and she’s in my Art class.”
“Wait?! What?! Who?!”
“Jordan White.”
“Wait, isn’t Jordan the one with glasses and the piercing above her lip? I forget what’s it’s called though..”
“A Medusa piercing and yes that’s the one.”
“She’s looker for sure but my Mallory is way better, no offense.”
“In your dreams.” I said, rolling my eyes. I knew that the mate bond meant that your mate is the most attractive thing you’ve ever seen to you.
“Isn’t she in our science class too?”
“Yes she is.”
“Sweet. Maybe we can all sit together since Mal is in that class too.”
“Maybe, I’ll have to see what Jordan wants to do.”
“Alright, man.”
And with that the bell rang. I immediately sprung out of my chair and walked quickly out the classroom. I threw all of my books into my locker since lunch was right after Art and started walking to Art class. As I made my way down the hallway towards my Art class and then I caught the cotton candy scent once again. Jordan.
I made my way into the class and saw her sitting at one of the side tables in the independent work area. She had her hair tucked behind her ears which showed off the fact that she had her earlobes stretched out to fit large turquoise stone plugs. She was wearing a plain black t-shirt and red skinny jeans that hugged her curves in the most perfect way. Damn, my mate was sexy. She was busy painting on a canvas, something she did a lot. She was always painting but she sure was talented. I walked over to where she was sitting, my eyes fixed on the empty seat next to her.
“Hey” I choked out. Why am I so nervous?
“Uh hi” she said timidly, refusing to look up at me.
“Can I sit next to you?”
Just then, she looked up at me. Her beautiful brown eyes had what seemed to be hurt and maybe sadness in them.
“Please don’t do this right now” she whispered to me.
“Do what, Jordan? I don’t understand. I just want to sit with you.”
“Look, I know you’re going to reject me. Can you at least wait until after school so that I can have my cousin there to help me. I know it hurts, I watched some I know lose their life to the mate bond....” she trailed off.
I was so stunned at what she had just said to me that I sat down in the seat next to her. I placed my hand gently on her knee. She jumped at my touch.
“Jordan, I’m not going to reject you. I had absolutely no intention on anything other than accepting you.” I said gently to her in an attempt to reassure her.
“But.... there’s no.....but...”
“I accept you as my mate, Jordan.”
“But you’re an Alpha and I’m just an Omega. I’m not anywhere near the level you are.”
“The Moon Goddess chose you as my mate which means you are exactly on my level. She chose you as my mate and my Luna.”
“But.....” I put finger up to her lips to shush her.
“Please, just give me a chance. I promise to be a good mate for you.” I said gently, looking into her eyes.
She was still apprehensive but eventually she nodded her head and went back to painting. I spent the rest of the class working on a very terrible drawing while catching plenty of glimpses of Jordan. She was so beautiful and I was so happy to have found her.
