"Can we talk?" Trinna said after lightly knocking on my bedroom door and slightly opening it to come into view.
I turned around in my chair and nodded at her while motioning for her to sit. It was awkwardly silent at our end of the table. The elders and Alpha Charlie tried to make small talk, mostly about Wyatt finding his mate and asking Trinna how she liked the pack so far. "I'm sorry to bother you I just had a few questions, and I was hoping you could answer them."
I turned around closed the book I was reading and looked at her through the makeup mirror (I hardly use might I add, but my mother insisted that all females should have a make up mirror on their desk, or makeup stand) that was on my desk. Trinna was currently looking down at her hands waiting for me to reply. I sighed and turned back around. "Alright what are your questions."
She looked up in surprised and quickly spoke. "I- um- well you see… first I'm going to clear up this misunderstanding. I didn't kiss Landon, I did however try to but he stopped me and told me that's something I should be doing with my future mate."
I looked at her shocked, the famous playboy Landon, who is known for messing around with any girl he meets -besides myself of course- has told someone who wanted to mess around with him, that they should be doing these things with their mate… that is just really shocking. "So why are you explaining this to me?" I said raising a brow acting like what he does has nothing to do with me.
She looked at me with her scrunched eyebrows. "What do you mean? He IS your mate right? I have heard stories of Landon and people like Landon and they normally don't stop with their player ways unless, 1. they found their mate, 2. they got tired of it, and 3. they found someone that they don't want their reputation as a player to get in the way of their relationship, unless it is your brother then it would be all three reasons but I'm sure you know that already."
My brother? It's true he was a player but then suddenly stopped right after his birthday and claimed that he was tired of it and that was the end of his reign of being one of the top player's in our school, and only recently I found out that her knew who his mate was since his birthday and that he can't talk about it because of who it is and the elders stupid rule, they're so old fashion and the older elders have power over the more younger elders until Landon becomes Alpha, so maybe Landon won't be a bad thing and it'll give my brother courage to let everyone know who the lucky guy is. "How… how did you- You know what, that doesn't matter. What is your question?" I asked hopefully changing the subject.
She looked down to her hands and stayed silent for a moment. "How… how do you get Wyatt not to be so… distant?"
I looked at her in confusion. "I mean Wyatts a shy guy he'll-"
She cut me off by standing in a hurry. "It's- it's not like that, he cold and distant, I tried to ask him questions to get closer to him but he always ignored them and after a while he said- he said if I didn't stop he would re-reject me. I know that you guys are close so I was hoping that you could help me with-."
I cut her off my holding my hand up. "How long can you hide your scent?"
She looked up at me, tears were flowing from her eyes "20 *hic* 20 min-minutes."
I offered her a comforting smile, this isn't like Wyatt he's never cold or distant. "Ok here's the plan."
"Are you sure this is going to get me answers?" She asked just before we got to Wyatt's hallway.
I nodded my head and she hid her scent. "Remember no matter what happens you can not release your scent." She nodded her head and we made our way to his door.
"Wyatt I'm coming in!" I said not even knocking. It became a normal between the three of us, because well we all had our fair share of walking in on each other changing, thankfully when I walk in or being walked in on all parts that should not be seen are covered.
Wyatt and James were sitting at his tv playing games… like normal. "Hey Wy I have a question?"
They just continue to play ignoring me. I looked around trying to find something they will get him away from the game. Then I remembered, he has a secret obsession on Harry Styles and no one knows about it but me. He has articles and pictures in a small shoebox, and gets so tongue-tied when I bring it up. I go to where he hides this box, it's not a really good hiding spot thought he claims it is since no one has found it, and opens the box to take out one of the most recent photos he has added. "So Wy," I started while jumping on his bed making sure the box made a noise from the impact. "Do you think Harry looked better with his short, medium, or long hair?"
"Long of cor- wait-" he paused the game and looked at me with wide eyes. "Sapphire! What the hell!"
He got up and started to sprint for the side I was on, which only caused me to go to the other side of the bed. "Sapphire give them back!" He said lunging over the bed.
I took a step back to dodge him, laughing as he grunted when he realized he had lost. I started to wave the pictures in front of him. "This is your own doing, it's the only way I can ever get your attention while you guys play." I said mocking James hurt tone.
"What's this?" James asked taking the pictures out of my hand, before I could even stop him he already got a look at this. "Wy why do you have a photos of Harry Styles?" He said taking a closer look. "Or are they yours Saph? I mean I'm not going to judge either of you, it's not like I don't dislike the guy."
I shook my head as Wyatt huffed in defeat. "It's mine, only Sapphire knew and WAS supposed to keep it a secret from everyone, but I guess you know too now."
"I mean I totally see why you'd hide it but like why didn't you tell me about it too?" He asked with a questioning gaze as it went from the pictures to Wyatt.
"I just didn't want to be teased, I mean Saph does it once in a while but not often." Wyatt sat up as James went to the bed and sat on the edge.
"I don't understand why you wouldn't tell me of all people, after all I've been bi for the past 5 years, you could have came to me if you wanted to fan girl with someone. And even if I wasn't bi, I still wouldn't have minded."
James looked down at his fingers as if he was fighting with his wolf, so much as to he didn't even notice our questioning gaze. When he finally looked up he matched our gazes. "Your- your bi? And it's been 5 years?" Wyatt asked finally breaking the silence between us.
"Yes, I thought you both knew?"
"No we thought you were joking around whenever you went guy hunting with me." I said sitting in between them, chuckling at all the memories of us hunting for guys- now that I think about it, James did initiate the hunt first most of the time.
"Oh. I guess I figured you guys have guessed it and didn't want to ask, I'm sorry for never clearing it up… this doesn't change how you see me right?" James eyes held desperation, hope, question, and fear all in one when he asked that, and started to play with his fingers, which he only does when he's nervous.
Wyatt and I looked at each other wide eyed and started to laugh. "James, sweetie. We love you the way you are. I mean it's a big shock to us but mostly because we never saw the signs clearly and took those signs as you joking around. If you are bi then you are bi, we wouldn't have you any other way." I said as I crouched down and put my hands on his. "We are your best friends, we would never drop you because you swing for both sides, but fair warning now that you know about Wyatts secret… lock your doors at night, he will barge in at random times to fan girl about something." James chuckled as Wyatt rolled his eyes.
Why do I feel like I'm forgetting something. I came here with a pur- SHIT! I looked down at my watch 5 more minutes. "Hey Wy, can I finally ask you a question? You know the actual reason why I came here in the first place."
He gave me a questioning look and then his eyes filled with realization. "I'm sorry but I know what you are going to ask and I refuse to answer any questions." He said shrugging it off.
"Why?" I asked standing up from my earlier position.
"Sapphire sometimes the unknown must stay unknown." Wyatt said trying to end the conversation. This is where I would normally stop but I promised her answers.
"Wy, just tell me, I'm your best friend! Nothing you say will change that fact!" I said trying to convince him which I only got an annoyed look in return.
"What do you want me to tell you? That I've been in love with you since we were in middle school? That I hated knowing that you fell for Alec instead of me? That I also hate Landon more because he's your mate and I'm not? What else do you want to hear because I can go on!"
It was silent, I didn't know what to say and James I'm sure wasn't going to try and break it. "Wyatt, she is your mate! You have to try and get over these feelings and love her!" I said while looking down at my watch, 30 seconds left!
"But I love you more then I'll ever love her." It was quiet, and then there was a big crash outside of the door and then the timer went off. Both of the boys looked at each other and then at me. "She was here." Is all Wyatt whispered regret immediately in his eyes, but he didn't move so I went after her.
*A/n: Hello! I'm so sorry that it's taking forever for me to post. I did plan on Wyatt never revealing his feelings for Sapphires, it was originally just going to be Wyatt wanting to reject her without fully giving his reason to Sapphire, but I thought it would be a good way change things up. Thank you to all who have been waiting patiently, and I will try and get more updates uploaded soon.
