Chapter 8 - Kristian
I saw Jack get up and leave to run after warning the Alpha, or rather, old Alpha while my mind still trying to understand everything he had told me that... I was no longer the Beta of the Pack...
... But the new Alpha with him...
I honestly didn't care about the fact that Jack was my Mate BUT the fact that I was no longer his Beta was a little uncomfortable... As since I discovered that Jackson was our possible future Alpha as a child, I always wanted to become his right arm... His Beta...
"Well... Looks like the fun is over, I'm going now." Selena got up from her seat and headed for the door. "Bye-bye, Kristian."
She waved with a mischievous grin on her face, one that made me feel like a child who had been caught while doing something wrong and I hated feeling that way...
"Kri-Kristian..." My mother's voice made me forget my thoughts momentarily.
"What?"
"Are... Are you truly Jackson's Mate?" She asked me staring directly at my eyes and I could notice how my uncle, Jack's grandfather, and his parents were looking at me... I guess they wanted to believe that it was all a great prank from ours, just like we used to do when we were kids. "Kristian?"
"Yes..." I mumbled. "Yes, Jack is my Mate... As strange it can sound right now."
"..." I could see a look of anxiety and concern in her gaze and the same in the old Alpha Penelope, Jack's mom.
"... It seems like I must be the worst person anyone could have as their Mate..." I said with a small smile on my face after putting my hands on my knees to get up. "... I'll go after Jack."
I didn't wait for anyone's answer, I simply retired to the Pack's House backyard where I spotted Jackson's destroyed clothes on all sides and I knew exactly in what I would find him... There was only one place in the forest that he would go to when he wanted to think.
Without delay, I grabbed a blanket that covered one of the chairs that were on the back porch and began to remove my clothes... Unlike Jack, I wasn't wearing an outfit that I wouldn't care if it was destroyed.
... A familiar pain consumed my body as I saw my nails become claws and a sense of satisfaction overwhelmed me for finally be able to turn freely into who truly was...
It didn't take long for my body to be covered by my light brown fur similar to my hair as the= only difference is that on my paws and ears the color becomes dark almost black before grabbing my pants and the blanket in my mouth before heading toward the place that I was sure I would find him...
... The feeling of the wind going through my fur and the sensation of dirt on my paws made me briefly forget all the madness that had happened earlier after I returned home... The time to appreciate such a moment was short, soon I found myself in the same place as Jack. He was sitting on a rock...
Even if he hadn't said anything, I knew he already felt my presence in there while I checked the person before me, checked him... Jackson was half Chinese and half Black, having a beautifully tanned skin and there were only two things that Jack inherited from his father... His physical size as both was tall, 1,90m with Greek God body like and blue eyes that at one point made me want to lose myself in them...
But in general, he looked a lot like his mother, Penelope, having obviously Asian traits in the face and straight black hair like hers, which at the moment was loose down his back until his waist, where I had a full view of his golden skin that illuminated by the sunset seemed even more beautiful, enhancing the muscles from his back until his as-
Wait!
WAIT!
OH MY GOD!!
I was checking out my friend, MY BEST FRIEND!?
DAMN!!! This mate bond was starting to get me!
"Kristian!" He called me causing me to stop messing up my, already messed, hair and it's good that I was already dressed in my pants or it would be a bit embarrassing... It's to think about why! "Hand me the blanket so we can talk without I being ... You know."
As he asked for, I threw the blanket in his direction and he easily picked it up before he got up to tie it around his waist and I turned around to no see anything although... The desire to look at him was there, after all... He was mine! My other half, my Mate...
... It would be a problem if I saw something... Right? But I still turned around... And gave him the privacy needed before we could talk...
