NOAH'S P. O. V
What are the odds of lighting striking the same place twice? Astronomical. Impossible. This rare fascinating occurrence. Okay, change in events this rare occurrence had to be focused, studied and explained. What was it about this man before himself, still in his arms? Why is his wolf's tail wagging? His a wolf. What is it about this wolf that compels him to want to know everything about him? How is he so intrigued? The mystery of it all. Seriously what were the odds his fascination would be peaked for the second time? What is it about this man that make him want to protect, provide and spend many nights with him? There has to be an answer to this intriguing mystery.
The man pushed up and he returned on the bike not at all facing him. Did he feel what he felt? Stalking the man like a hunter, the silence in his steps efficient as to not spook his prey. Their eyes met once more in the dark light and he realized the man doesn't recognize him. Good. It's the perfect opportunity to reintroduce himself, to make a better impression.
"Hello. Can I help you?"
His voice was soft, low almost seductive but in his ears his voice is a song he wants to play on repeat. My, my. Such a rare fish to find... Realizing his been staring longer than what was socially acceptable he then cleared his throat. His man has to be his for at least one night, just to get him out his system. No, stupid idea Noah... His wolf is intrigued with this one. Gathering up all of his wits his cracked a shifty smile and like a prince laid down his charm that works on every girl he hit on. He vowed no matter what, he will find out what makes this man more unique to him.
"I have never seen you in these nick of the woods before but yet again I am new here. I don't really know a lot of people here and I would like that to change. My name is Noah."
"What sup man? Xander. Since you are new here a couple of my friend and I are going to hang out at a local bar tomorrow you are welcomed to-"
Damn his phone rang and less than a minute later he got off the bike, packed his bag giving him an apologetic smile he knew what was coming. His running away...
"I'm sorry there is an emergency."
His wolf and man both agreed on one thing, they will enjoy the hunt to make this man theirs. This is a story as old as time, the man of his dreams (literary) ran off but like Cinderella he left something behind. Instead of a glass shoe, he left a book? This has to be fate. Destiny. Something so miraculous and here he believed lightning don't strike the same place twice. In this case it did but yet again how can he believe in a fairy- tale? Flipping inside he saw amazing sketches, mind blowing pieces that made him question his interest. This interest that has been building since that lawful accident of bumping into Xander. Every touch since then is able to spark much more desired interest. Goodness this man is going to slowly drive him out of his godd damned mind. Shit. Noah can not rest until he finds out exactly why this little one man force thrilled the dullest parts of his day.

"I told him, I love him."
"Toby. You fool. You did what!"
"I know stop yelling."
"What did he say?"
"He likes knowing I only have eyes for him. He took the bracelet. He kissed me and after a while of just talking he left. Ahhh Noah! This is killing me, he did not say he likes me. I mean the kiss we shared was amazing but it could have meant anything, everything or even nothing. I feel in it my heart, my wolf recognizes his alpha. Him leaving us, could be forever and I'm not ready to let go of love, our love. Noah, I hurt. Here, I sore. Did you bring the ice-cream, chocolate chip?"
He said pointing at his heart, wiping stray tears that highlighted how affected he was because of that Lucas man. Noah handed him the bag of things he told him to pick up. Noah thought back to his friends failed crushes, perhaps this one is bound to be part of the statistics. Werewolves feel deeply, love deeply and hurt deeply for an omega. Although Toby's dramatic levels were enough to make him give into his ridiculousness.
"I know Zippy. At least you were brave enough to put yourself out there. Now it is all out in the open. It is good to have your cards are on the table. All you can do now is wait for his move. In the mean while continue those conversations with Jayden since it seems to make the doctor jealous."
"Noah... I don't want him jealous, I want him to be in love with me and my wolf. Is that so much to ask for? If it is meant to be, fate will hold my hand. As you said my wise friend I am all in, I don't want to change anything. There is no going back now. Enough about me, how was your once a month night exercise gym you always blabbering about back home? Is it the same here amongst the humans?"
Toby asks half interested, his attention trapped on the sweet mess. Ice- cream? Who the hell thinks a desert can cure heart break? Hell the omega is looking into studying physics or science either way it sounds boring. Noah rolls his eyes. Toby is pack omega so whatever weird crazy shit he wants to trap him in, he followed to ensure nothing bad happens to him. To his benefit, thank fate at least their pack did not believe in stopping the works of fate. So by chance his friends fated is indeed outside the pack, fate never makes a mistake regarding two souls.
"Everything was as usual but that all changed. Toby I am confused of how but I met someone. I guess we kinda met before but no matter how I calculate the numbers I do not understand the odds of instant interest. My brain is stuck by our previous interactions, I need to know everything about this person but this person is nowhere to be found."
"Finally a woman has roped you like a rodeo pig and tied you down. Well my dear friend, since you always taking care of me allow me to give you advice. Instead of bar hopping your entire life try an actual relationship, we are no longer kids our mentality need to age too. Noah I advise you to ask her out but instead of doing what you always do consider taking it slow, see if there is a future. If you see a future, build on it with her or until. It may turn out that she is your fated mate."
"What! I did not say-"
"You didn't have to. Usually you tell me about girls when you over them, a conquest or dated in high school. Bro fate has no numbers. Fate is not maths man sometimes fate can be a philosophy like Astrophysics or Geology."
"Ugh, don't start with your sappy emotions. As innocent as you are Toby, there is no such thing as fate and to prove it I am willing to put money on the table."
"My point is there is no way of understanding fate. Wait. So your great idea is to gamble fates nonexistence? If it sound smart in your ears, then. Deal."
"We have two weeks' worth of rehearsals left. Day one starts tomorrow, the rest during and after. Like camp one week of catch up classes, entrance tests and finally the big competition pilling on our workload."
"As usual Toby reported his schedule which he already programmed on his phone. Please no one sane believes in fate anymore, somehow he desperately wanted to be wrong. I have the schedule. I will not forget after today, humans are loud. A little memorizing here and there goes a long way. I need to go pack and get my rest, those ladies are not going to entertain themselves or maybe they should (Wink. Wink)."
"Eyy Noah. If what you feel is real, do not be a fool and wait like I did. You saw how miserable I was. I do not want that for you, yet. Remember when you lose the bet, I want dumplings as my starter and the rest will be determined at a later stage. Oh yeah, try not to be late again you know Green loves shouting."

Where the hell is Toby? Damn the bus was going to leave the fool. Entering the cool bus he found a set and was immediately bombarded by the female candidates. Perfect. Fate be dammed these girls are on fire, he wanted to talk the extinguisher and blow out the flame. He turned his head for a second and vision found the figure he has been looking for and more, Xander? Xander touched Toby's shoulder and walked away with a guy.
"Excuse me. Sorry. I am just trying to walk by. I am not interested. Maybe next time. Can you please give me some space to pass? Thank you. Toby!"
The car drove away leaving and timbered boy who managed to somehow defy the odds. Their leader placed his bags in the storage area and they both entered the bus both with roaming thoughts, this time he broke the silence.
"Lucas and I are dating. I don't know when but his other half recognized the indestructible pull, the first time we met. I. Have. A. Boyfriend! And bro at this point all that is required is for it to be official."
"Yeah, whatever. Who are those guys you were talking to? Wait, he introduced you to his friends?"
"Yeah. Xander and Leo both our seniors, they are his best friends. Well Jayden would be in the mix but Lucas doesn't trust him around me. I am supposed to hate his possessiveness but I find his need to have me see him alone alluring especially when he growls."
"Keep it in your pants Zippy. So, are they also studying medicine?"
"Yes the three duo. In fact they in the same lecture hall. Why?"
"Checkmate. Fate just played her card and I lost."
"HUH?"
"I owe you lunch. Lunch is on me."
