You CAN'T be My MATE! [MxM]

After Summer...

Chapter 1  - Past - Jackson

"Come on, Melissa! Do me this favor, just check out for me once! Please!" The boy begged his friend, Melissa.

"No way! Just for you to find out if your Mate is a guy or not?" She continued her way into the kitchen when she suddenly stopped and turned toward him. "Wait a minute... You're gay, so you already know that your Soulmate is a guy... Do you want me to find out who he is!?"

... Soulmate? Anyone must be lost in this mess, right?

... Well... 

The reason was quite simple.

Jackson, the boy and his friend Melissa were werewolves, which made them have help from fate to find their other half, their mate. But... Going on... They stared at each other for a few seconds, or rather Jackson looked straight into Melissa's green eyes until she answered a question he hadn't asked yet.

"NO WAY! You know very well that I can't do this!" 

"I know! I know, Melissa... I don't want to know who he is, I just..."

"You just what?"

"I just want to know what kind of person he is..." He replied as she continued to do the dishes...

"Is this the reason you want me to play tarot for you? Do you just want to find out what kind of person he is? Really?" 

... She couldn't believe that...

"I mean it, I promise. I just want to feel closer to my mate. Maybe find out if he's like us, or human, or even something else."

"...Ok... If it's just that!" She said pointing her finger to him. "But I can't understand why you want to know these things... When you meet him, he will love you and you will love him, nothing else will matter to both of you." 

After saying that, she went to her room to pick up her deck while the boy... He stood still, looking at nothing and thinking how his friend couldn't be wrong, after all... They would be made for each other... However... Something about his Mate made him feel afraid and so useless just to think about that person...

"HEY! Jack! When are you gonna cut your hair?" As I stepped into the hallway I heard the question from Vinny, one of my best friends as he put his arm over my shoulder.

"Good question. I don't know, Sarah won't let me cut it." That was true... Sarah, my best friend and also my childhood friend would kill me if I did this... And believe me when I say that she could very scary with those blond curls of her even for me, the future Alpha. "She said something about how it looks cool on me or something like that."

Maybe Sarah was the closest person to me, a few times I don't think it's 100% my choice but... A lot of people believed she was my girlfriend and it was very weird... But no matter what people said, we both knew it was impossible because I'm gay.

... Soon we were in front of my locker, where I could see the person I mentioned or as I call her, the devil waiting for me however, she wasn't alone. Sarah was talking to Melissa about something but sadly with all the noise of the hallway, I just understood a few words like the party, tomorrow and our last year thanks to our kind abilities. 

And... Badly I knew they were talking about the last party of the summer, and the first of the return to school, two days of parties organized by their own and would be the reason to make me look for Melissa in a close future.

... The very unclean images and feelings remembered from that night told me that I had met Him but when I woke up, alone the next morning... It made me fear the future. After all... 

No clue about how real it was or who he was had been left behind, making me wonder if he knew who I was or not... If he disliked me... If he disliked that moment...

And in the morning... I still had no idea that anything like that would happen and as usual, I just ignored their conversation.

"Hey!" She waved in my direction.

"Hi, Jack!" That was Melissa, who close to Sarah looked so tiny and girly but no let it fool you. If Sarah was the she-devil, you should believe in me when I say Melissa was the demon in person. However, yeah... These two were my best friends, what could I do?

"Hi, guys!" And there were all my best friends in front of my locker or I thought. "What happened? Why isn't Kris with you guys? Sarah?"

The missing guy, Kris or Kristian was my best friend, the number one since childhood along with Sarah who was his cousin, and maybe when I get married he will be my best man... Or not, knowing him, I don't think he'd agree with it since he would say something like it was a lot of work and this kind of stuff. 

Kris was the one who will be my Beta when I finally become Alpha between my friend as well, he was responsible for convincing me to try on the crazy drink his cousin and Melissa had created, something that could get us drunk.

... Which lead me to my dilemma in the next morning... Breaking my mind while thinking if I had truly met Him, or if it was just an illusion from my head caused by the crazy potion and... I didn't know what answers I wanted to be real...
