I Scored Myself A Mate

Tuesday came and from the beginning was pretty peaceful in comparison to yesterday's events. Mark had stormed inside their room while Alex was still sleeping in Luke's embrace very eager to talk to the Alpha's son about the rearrangements that had to be made for the ginger head to be able to live in their small compound as he had described it. 

So at the moment the newly assembled group of four people was in Alex's and Mark's room, sitting on the two beds while munching on chips and drinking juice, after they had decided that they wanted to avoid the dining hall due to the previous events. Their main conversation was how the two human boys were going to adjust to a new life in a supernatural home. 

"So when will we start classes? Also Alex and I need to get some clothes and phones and necessities in general. Also I'm redecorating this whole place, from scratch." Mark said and took a sip from his orange juice. 

"Sure. I mean the redecoration will be the hardest thing but we can schedule a shopping trip in town or something."

"I don't have any money" Alex said and Luke looked at him with a confused look. 

"Who said you will pay?"

"And who will?"

"I will."

"Nice Alex you got yourself a sugar daddy" Mark joked making Mikael laugh with him. Alex though simply shot him an angry glare and turned to talk to Luke in a calm voice. 

"No, thank you but I don't need you to be paying for my stuff. Since I obviously won't be in a sports team anymore and there is no scholarship I will get a part time job in town."

"Why won't you be in a sport's team? You can always try out for the WhiteFangs if you want" Mikael suggest.

"So he will get crushed by your supernatural powers during the games?" 

"We don't use our powers during the games, that would be cheating." Luke explained. "Let me make you a deal Alex" he said and gave him a smile like he was proud of the thought he just had. "If you manage to get into the team, through proper try outs and I swear I won't interfere you will get payed to carry us in the soccer field. I heard that's what you did for your last team so you must be good" 

"If I don't make it into the team I will get a part time job." He said and his boyfriend nodded happily. He wanted to give the chance to Alex to do the thing he loved the most and have a comfortable life. He was too young to have to go through all these hardships just because his parents were useless. 

Alex looked at him for a while like he wasn't sure if the grey eyed boy was telling the truth. He seemed to be in deep thinking as their eyes met and Luke was smiling brightly with his great idea. 

"I promise." He said and placed his palm on his chest earning an eye roll from Alex. 

"Sure. When will I do it? You will come with me too Mark?"

"Oh, no, no, no there is no way I will be playing with these people." He said pointing his index finger from Luke to Mikael. "My soccer is sophisticated"

"Oh really?" Mikael asked and raised an eyebrow. "We are not sophisticated enough for you?"

"With your little dog brain definitely not. Come, come get it" He said and moved the bag of chips they shared in front of his face like he was going to throw a stick somewhere for Mikael to go after it. Mikael barked in reply making Mark laugh hysterically and Luke shook his head.

"You are an embarrassment to our kind" He told him and Mikael looked at him with a snob expression.

"I do not need other's validation to know my worth dear friend." 

"Yeah, yeah. Alex you can tryout this afternoon if you want and the day after tomorrow I can take you shopping guys. I just need to go to another part of the compound where most families are to talk with my mother, she deals with these stuff. About classes I think next week is going to be fine." 

"Okay. Thank you, Luke." He said and gave him a shy smile.

"There is no reason for you to say thank you. If you are good you will pass. We train at five." He announced and gave him a peck on the lips before he stood up. 

"Come on honey give a kiss too" Mikael said and cupped Mark's face bringing him closer.

"I LIKE GIRLS" he screamed in his face and pushed him back, he grabbed his pillow and brought it in front of him as a shield and as his last move he threw a handful of chips at Mikael.

"You got a full combo there" Luke made fun of him 

"Come on, let's go. My affection is not being appreciated here."

"Yes good riddance!" Mark shouted and waved them goodbye. 

The moment the two boys were left alone Mark ran towards Alex's side and jumped on the unmade bed that was filled with potato chip crumbs. He wiped them away with his hands messily throwing them on the ground and looked at Alex with a naughty smile. 

"Sooo what happened last night?" 

"Nothing, we just cuddled and slept." 

"Really? Why are you such a virgin?"

"Well I'm sorry but it didn't feel like the right time." 

"Aw, you are so romantic." He said and pinched his cheek turning it a bit red. 

"Mark there is something that…."

"Spill it."

"Every time I kiss Luke…"

"What? Does his breathe stink?" Mark joked.

"Will you let me finish a sentence." 

"Yes, yes please sir go on."

"Every time I kiss Luke my chest hurts." Alex confessed remembering that pinch like pain every time their lips met. The deeper the kiss got the more the pain and Alex couldn't help but wonder why something like that was happening. He hadn't exchanged many kisses with a lot of people but the few kisses that he had shared with others didn't feel like that, not even the slightest. 

"Well, I don't know. Some people say that being in love hurts. It could be something like that."

"Yeah, but I mean…it's weird"

"To be honest I've never been the mate of a werewolf you, hadn't had the luck yet so I can't really tell you what is it but if it's just a pinch and not like a cardiac arrest pain I guess is just because you feel sad. With everything that has happened is logical. Try to see if it keeps happening after things calm down a bit."

"That's possible" Alex agreed considering the possibility of his friend being right. His mental health had not been at its finest lately and it was definitely something he needed to focus on. 

"Will it be weird if I say that I want to sleep again?" Mark asked and Alex laughed.

"No go nap" he told him and Mark jumped back to his bed.

Alex would just take some time and relax in the comfort of the room. The idea or just roaming around was not so pleasing at the moment so he would sit there hearing Mark's slight snoring. 

He spent his time thinking, since there weren't that many things to do in their new room. Everything that had happened seemed so far away but at the same time he could still feel the pain of those moments. It was still like a heavy rock on his chest every time he thought about it and he wondered if those internal scars would ever heal, if he had Luke by his side maybe. 

Time was passing by fast as he thought also about the tryouts. He was definitely nervous and that was the reason he didn't feel really that hungry or in need for lunch. He felt like he would throw up. He would love to play in that team, play together with Luke would be a dream. Playing at all would also be a bliss. The last days it seemed to him like soccer was gone for him, like playing again was impossible but his boyfriend was more than willing to give him a chance to prove his worth. 

As the final hour was approaching Alex felt like the clock above his door had gone insane. There was no way that seconds and minutes were passing so fast, he thought. His eyes were focused on the simple object when he heard a knock on his door, very feint but it was still there.

He stood up and lazily dragged his feet to the door. To his surprise though no one was there, waiting for him. He stepped outside and looked around curious when he felt something underneath his shoe. He looked down and noticed a small letter in a dark blue envelope. 

He picked it up and went back inside closing the door behind him. Carefully he opened the sealed envelope and took the paper out. There was only one and smelled like lavender. He smiled at the careful calligraphy since his own handwriting was always bad and he was a bit jealous of the people who were good. 

The smile instantly disappeared from his face after reading the carefully written sentence. There were only a few words but to him these words were enough to shock him.

I know what happened to your parents. Meet me at the compound entrance tomorrow morning at 6 am. Be alone.

Alex reread it again and again to make sure that he wasn't wrong. What could've happened to his parents that someone sent him a letter like this? Could it be something bad?

Luke had said they were fine.
