I went down the stairs to where the party was almost on full blast, all it just needed was the main character... now that I think about it where is he? I want to thank him for this dress he gave me, that and the other stuff I'm wearing right now like the shoes and accessories.

I looked around in search of Devon, till he approached me. And might I add, he looked stunning. He wasn't wearing his usual casual style with leather jacket, no.

He wore a semi-casual white tux, the top button of his shirt undone and the blazer was kept open. He had also fixed his hair which compared to his usual shaggy style, was a completely different but still on the same level of hotness.

I was about to melt right on the spot when he held out his hand in a gentlemanly way and spoke with his low, husky, and dreamy voice along with his award winning style.

"You look beautiful; mind if I bring you to some of my friends, don't worry, I won't let them lay a finger on you."

"Sure."

He led me through all the teenagers as if he were Moses; they literally parted in half, making a way for him and me to cross.

I sat beside him, in the center part on the crescent shaped couch with a small coffee table in its center and was surrounded by his friends. Usually I would have peed my pants by now, but I had no reason to. As cliché as I would sound, I would be lying if I said that I didn't feel like a princes who was kept safe by her knight in shining armor.

The night was going about perfectly, we started chatting and I learned a whole bunch about him, courtesy of his friends, and I also learned that they weren't actually as bad as I thought they were. But from time to time I would see them glancing at each other with a worried hint in their eyes obviously conversing using their mind link, but I just shrugged it off thinking that they were just planning to prank their precious alpha again.

I learned that in each of their birthdays, they would prank each other; it was firstly introduced by the pack B when she pranked 'Dev' on his 8th birthday but soon the group adopted it, and it wasn't actually that bad of an idea.

It wasn't until a few second later when their chatter suddenly stopped as they all faced into one direction. I couldn't help but take a glance at what they were looking at but soon I realized the reason why they invited me here in the first place.

There was Kristie standing beautifully with the same exact dress Devon got me. What hurt me was that I knew it suited her better than me. I looked back at Devon to see that he was just looking at her normally, as if this didn't surprise him which just made the pieces fall faster into place.

How could he?! Olivia told me that he was Kristie's mate but I knew otherwise. I felt the pull and so did Ulrika, I couldn't have been mistaken!

But... why would he do this? As if he was just mocking me?

The silent soon turned back into normal chatter but then the topic somehow made its way into Olivia asking Dev if the dress Kristie wore suited her.

"Yeah, she looks beautiful." Was his reply.

"Well of course it is, she had been planning to wear it for 6 almost 7 months now right girl?" Ade said, almost thoughtlessly, just as a topic to keep the conversation going but the hurt really stuck me there.

She had been preparing to wear this for 6 months?! I guess they really just did this to me as a practical joke.

"Excuse me I need to go to the restroom." I said almost synchronized with you guessed it!... KRISTIE! It just had to be her now didn't it? oh why is the world so cruel?

"I'll go with them." Olivia stood up and followed us.

As soon as we were in the restroom, we shared an awkward silence as we all fixed our appearances in the mirror.

"Look I'm sorry, I didn't know that we were gonna wear the same dress." Kristie said with a sad and honest tone to her voice. Wait was she apologizing?! Just this morning she was about to rip my head off!!!

"N-no... it's not your fault. You had already been planning to wear this for a long time."

"No I'm sorry, it's actually my fault." Olivia spoke right after me. We both turned to face her with a little confusion on our faces.

She continued "Dev asked me to pick out a dress for.. Obviously a girl and I immediately assumed it to be Kristie, so of course I showed him the dress that she had been looking at for quite some time now."

She tuned to face Kristie. "I thought it would make you happy knowing that he would be the one to get you your dress. I didn't expect it to be for Rochelle."

"No its alright, you just tried to make your friend happy." I said making her turn back to me.

"I'm sorry I didn't really think you were telling the truth when you said he was your mate. I shouldn't have said all those bad things about you."

I was about to reassure her that it really was alright now that she apologized but before I could do so Kristie half shouted, a bit quivering, and all sorts of emotions laced in her voice but one in particular was clear. Surprise.

"He's what? But... I thought he was my mate. I felt all the electric shocks and others whenever we seem to touch. Even Nuntis, my wolf said that he was my mate?"

"What?!... But he's mine! This morning when I woke up I caught his scent and I just knew, Ulrika even shouted Mate when she sensed it too." I ended up half shouting as well, Ulrika was growling mad at what she had said, I also felt my bones crackle a bit to indicate that I was about to shift and I looked like she wasn't that far off as well.

I swear we were about to have a cat fight before Olivia suddenly stood between us. A reminder that we should stop before things bet out of hand.

"Sorry... we should calm down." Kristie apologized and I apologized as well right after.

"Guys, I don't think anyone could have two mates, second chance mates found but rarely, but I don't think having two mates and feeling the two bonds at the same time should exist. How about we clarify who's the real mate by asking Dev. He's the center guy so I think he would know."

I looked at Olivia and she was right. I wanted to shout that I was his real mate right there and then but somehow I also knew Kristie felt the same. Were both his mates, but we still don't know who his real mate is, best not jump to conclusions.
