**Aaron**
As I lean in to kiss Amyra, I suddenly hear somebody calling my name.
I looked into Amyra's eyes, she looked at me.
Again I hear my name, holding Amyra by hand I turn to see who the hell cared to disturb me.
Suddenly Jennifer comes running towards me and hugs me.
"Aaron..you are here," she says.
I try to withdraw from the hug, but she had held me so tight.
What the hell is she doing?
She moves me from the hug and cups my cheeks in her hands and kisses me instantly.
I push her.
"What's wrong with you Jenny?" I ask furiously, my blood boiling.
"Aaron, you were right. We are mates" she says.
Dumbstruck, I look at her surprised.
"What the hell are you talking about?" I ask her eyeing at Josh, who had followed her.
"You were right Aaron, always right! I was wrong when we had sealed our bond with Kiss and..." she trails off eyeing at me coyly.
"Don't you remember? you said we can be mates for life. I am sorry, I realized it very late. Will you forgive me?" She asks.
My jaw drops and not a single word comes out my mouth gulping the stuck knot in my throat.
I look at Amyra, she looks at me surprised, confusion...I fail to read her expression.
Josh clears his throat.
"Jenny, Aaron is busy...you can meet him later," he says.
"Aaron, don't you have time for your mate?" she says.
Fuck! I curse under my breath.
"I have to leave," Amyra says.
I try to hold her arm, she shoves off.
"Josh, Can you please drop me?" she asks.
Josh glances at me, I nod at him.
And they leave.
What the hell happened just now?
What was I doing?
How did this all happen?
Fuck me!
I look at Jenny fiercely.
Jenny, Jennifer my childhood friend. Me, Josh, and Jenny were close friends. She couldn't find her destined mate and I was also alone for 4 years without my mate.
It was that weak time of haze when I had asked Jenny that Can we be mates...chosen mates? and we had kissed each other, that's it.
I stopped myself, before going any further, though she insisted on it.
Now she is back with the same thing when I have my mate, who I love so much. I can't allow my relationship with Amyra to get destroyed.
Amyra is my love, my mate.
I don't know why Jenny is back when I thought everything is going well, does she needs to show up like this?
I don't know what Amyra is thinking about me.
I know she is angry with me.
Jenny looks at me narrowing her eyes.
"Why are you here?" I ask her.
"Aaron...is this the way you treat me?" she asks crossing her arms below her chest.
"Don't play with me Jenny...that won't end well" I tell her.
"Aaron...you had asked me to be your mate, not me" she shots back.
"And now you have got a new chick to romance with?" she asks as if sensing what we were doing.
"Mind your language...don't you dare cross your limits," I say pointing a finger at her.
"I had asked you 3 years back about being mates, you ran away...you remember, or should I make you remember?" I ask her.
"I had run away then, but I want to be your mate now," she says closing the gap between us.
"I want you, Aaron," she says.
I push her back.
"I have a mate Jenny, my destined mate. I can't leave her, you understand?" I spat back.
"Who that chick? who doesn't know that she is a werewolf?" she yells at me.
"This is my last warning Jenny, I don't even mind slitting your throat. Mind your tongue before you speak anything about her." I say ferociously as my wolf howls loudly and says "Kill her! how dare she?".
My wolf wants to come out, I am trying to control it. But, it's not calming. I am breathing heavily and within seconds I will land in four, Jenny stumbles back frightened.
She tries to shift, she is half shited I lunge at her, tearing her skin.
I wanted to shred her limb by limb. I held back.
I hold my paw against her neck, she started hyperventilating, her eyes roll back to her hairline.
She was agonizing in pain.
"Aaron...Aaron" I hear a voice.
"Aaron..." dad appears in front of me.
"Leave her and Shift back" he commands.
My wolf howls and stares at dad.
"Shift back son," he says caressing my fur.
I slowly shift back, panting, and kneeling.
Dad commands the security to take Jenny into custody and asks them to keep an eye on her.
He hands me a set of clothes.
"Why didn't you control your wolf?" he asks.
"He is behaving weird, out of control after seeing Amyra. He is worried that he will lose her, after all, we have waited for 4 years for our mate". I say.
"I will go talk to her," I say looking at him.
"I think she needs time," he says solemnly.
I take the keys and fled.
My dad sighs heavily behind me.

**Josh**
I was driving in complete silence.
I glanced at Amyra, she was silent and looked anxious.
"Amyra... are you ok?" I asked glancing at her.
She gives a small smile and nods.
"Josh...Can I ask you something?" She asks.
I nod her back.
"What is a mate?" She asks eyeing at me.
"It's like a soulmate," I answer taking few seconds.
She looks away into the window.
I am confused about whether to tell her that Aaron and Jenny are not mates. But frankly, it's not my place to tell anything about them.
"Don't worry about a thing".
"Aaron will take care of everything". I say not knowing how to continue talking with her.
"You know, I had a mate," I say grabbing her attention.
She looks at me patiently for me to continue.
"She rej...she left me," I say correcting myself.
"Oh..why?" she asks.
"She felt the other d**k beguiling," I say instantly regretting at my choice of words.
She looks at me surprised and laughs holding her hand to her chest and flinging her head forward. I laugh with her.
"Josh...that was bad," she says still giggling.
I feel good about myself for at least making her laugh.
