LEO'S P. O. V
"Happy anniversary!"
A very confused Jayden walked in, exchanged his shoes for indoor flats and stared dumbly at Leo. It was yet to ring a bell.
"It is our first fuckerversary. We were not together so for the years this date passed, I just let it slide but now look. Cake!"
He said with a smile wide, his focus evenly distributed between the man before him and the sweetness of the cake he baked. It is not the best looking cake ever and probably tastes like diabetes more than anything and his not sure if homemade cake should give you heartburn. Jayden wouldn't judge him harshly, yes he sucks at cooking but he really worked hard on making the white covered icing cake with a 'Happy Fuckerversary' elegantly written.
This is a special moment to him that called for a major celebration in his life and of course it did not go without warning from his fathers. It is not like his going through this bonding blind his fathers lectured him in the difficulties of having a mate, as always one got triggered and got mad at the other although he initiated the examples. His father as always apologised first, dad got happy and just like that they fell madly in love even displaying their affection in front of their disgusted son. Seriously no child in the universe wants to see their parents make out, they got back to lecturing him as a united from leaving him to sit in front of a computer for almost five hours.
After his parents talk he was certain this is what he wants besides fate aligned them and marked them to be together. This is going to be his first and last time he will have the opportunity to form a soul bond with someone. The lack of concern assured his feelings in the matter and his alpha's face lit up obviously to just oblige his mate. He fit in his arms like a puzzle, so this has to be fates way of blessing their union. Jayden bit his neck hard enough to draw blood and leave a mark. He even fluttered his entire body with rainbow kisses to make the pain of the moment go away. Moments later a tattoo like permanent claim appeared on his wrist, of two moons gapped on top of each other. His fathers have an infinity designed mark with the twin moons, so did every mated couple he knows. Maybe they different because their love was unlikely to begin with, whatever the reason he has a mate now.
"You are mine."
Jay stated planting kisses on the not visible twin marks on his wrists.
"I am yours."
He reaffirmed and Jayden attacked his lips once more.
.
"Then let us relive that night. Booze, music and what I hate most, your tears. Wait a minute, you never told me why I found you crying?"
"It happened so long ago."
He said nothing but gave him a look that urged him to tell him everything. Leo caved not because of the pressuring stare but he wanted a stable relationship with this man. A relationship built on honesty and open communication.
"I have always thought I would end up with an omega, human or at least a beta as my soul mate. Xander at best is a beta but that is not why I fell for him, he is also smart, kind and gentle. (Jayden hates the fact his mate speaks of another with so much fondness. Although he sees what his mate is trying to do, in terms of him being open and honest. Don't get him wrong… He is grateful his mate is putting in the work to make them work for them in the long run so, he must pipe down his anger and jealousy because he asked him for the story.)
That night I was about to confess to Xander not because I felt the bonding urge but I was also lonely literally tired of being on my own.
That was the time Fate left me on read... I remember so clearly, I did love Xander but I do not think I was in love with him. I don't know really, I guess it had been a while since I had been in a relationship with someone. Right now it sounds irrational that being rejected by a man you loved, now you view as just a brother... Hurt. Jay it did hurt. Rejection in general hurts.
What is worse than verbal rejection? It is not rejecting a person who is perusing you. (He laughs) But yet again I get he was never good with those kinda of stuff (Xander is not good at rejecting someone).
In a way, Xander pushed you toward me. I saw my heart shatter when I witnessed my crush making out with some girl in our faculty and to fuel the flame I remember Xander left with her. After the drinks and talk of heartbreak with Ted, the bartender you showed up. You did not know why I was depressed but you never left my side warding off people who wanted to take advantage my drunk self, lone- self.
I just wanted one night whereby I did not have to think. I remember you constantly stopped my advances, although I was intoxicated I was fully aware of what I wanted and what I was doing. Eventually you caved (he winked at his weakness regarding him), that night I did something I thought I would regret. It was one night unlike any other, during sex no woman has ever made me feel like I did that night. I constantly tried to move on but eventually I realized, you ruined me for woman. That is why I kept coming back because you made me feel alive."
Fingers caressing his jawline, planting life altering kisses on his neck, face, lips. Leo ripped his shirt, nipping, sucking, licking the moment got lot to sensation. Like their first time together. Unlike Toby and Xander his body was firm. He wasn't larger than his frame, every caress gave him ground to an interesting platform.
"What do you want?"
"Why can I not be on top?"
"No. Do you want to stop?"
"No. Sorry. I was just wondering."
"I am your alpha. Now give me your hands."
He demanded and when he obliged and he tied his hands behind is back. Alphas demand whatever and expected all to bow to grovel to complete they order. Not anymore. Oh, does he thank the wolf goddess his nature is beta. Therefore for him, during sex he did not have to submit but it is hot he choose to. Not to anyone alpha, not to his fated. He was in awe his wolf welcomed Jays touch, love and being with his fated was the only time he got to truly let go.
In fact what was worse in terms of the hierarchy, was the nature below him. For fucks sake he could have been fucking an omega bound to need an alpha, hell no. Before his Jayden he was in love with someone but the one he wanted did not want him.
So with his hands bound the only thing covering his modesty was his underwear. There is something trusting about being bound and under his scrutiny. Shit Jayden, there is no way that can fit in him. This is his reaction every time he has to see all of his fated. So, in order to conclude... No matter how much his fated pleasures him, there is no way he could not allow the alpha to rip him apart. His a Beta. Unlike beta's, omegas naturally are wet and ready when aroused for their alpha. Breath you have done this countless times before with this very man, distracted when Jayden proceeded to kiss every single inch of his body ending with his neck. Finally kissing him back, his kiss magical. It is like he wanted to consume him whole and that turned him on, as lust blinded his reservations.
Along the way he lost his underwear and something cold caressed his hole. His hands. His body. How could he be attracted to an alpha? Why did he not want the sensations to stop? Mmm, his moans were encouraging the other man to claim him. His thoughts now were justified but then the mystery of it all. He wished to forget the reservations stopping him and just allow himself to give into the sensation. For the moment his problems were nothing but a distant memory.
"Leo."
"Huh? What? Why did you stop?"
"What do you want?"
"Jay I need you to fill me, make love to me. Please."

JAYDEN'S P. O. V
"You seem to be distracted."
Leo lay relaxed in Jayden's arms but his instincts told him something was amiss. Turning to face him Leo smiled kissing his chin.
"I love you. I love this. I love us. But-"
Jayden knew where this was going but he did not want to stop his fated mate from expressing himself even though he most probably would hate to hear the 'but'.
"I want to spend the rest of my life with you. But-"
He was getting nervous so he rubbed his shoulder encouraging him to continue.
"I thought us mating would automatically fill this hole… and it did don't get me wrong... It is just that… there is a hole that somehow it is empty. It is probably stupid - I do not know how to explain this..."
"No. Nothing you say is stupid and I have heard of this, although very rare the wolf goddess still bears gifts for us... For now we fill the gapping space with our love, together we can make us work."
"I love you and I would love nothing better than to do all in our might to make us work."
He muttered him his arms, the alpha kissed his forehead and he felt his heart jump.
"Agreed."
....
A couple of weeks later
Shit. Jayden felt the rip. Being together was heaven before they mated. It feels like they are missing something that their relationship needs. The love they share with each other but the more the dark void is acknowledged the more they want to find what is missing.
Leo is brave enough to question this feeling they both feel and both fail to understand. One thing he was certain of is that he does not want to lose Leo and the sooner he solves the mystery the better it is of them.
"Leam. I am at the location."

Dropping the call, he refused to want to hear is friend go on about this. He simply did not understand gypsies, neither did Jayden but a least he can detect if one had the gift or is a 'sham' as his friend put it.
"Good day the birds told me you looking for me."
Birds really? She is beautiful, gorgeous in fact her beauty is wilderness. In a sense that if you were interested you would think she is mystical, raw or enchanting. In this world she is a seer, not a fortune teller. Therefore she could be a gypsy, her gift in their world is being a seer and in the human world she will be considered a reader.
Adding on the definition of sane, normal? He is also far from that category. In a sense he is a werewolf and has conversations with his Wolfpack man vs beast. In their world these things are considered to be normal. So what, she has conversations with birds? Let her be the gypsy's version of Snow White. The moment he entered the room he felt the circulating energy. She is legit. She is the real deal not because she looks as sounds crazy but her aura gave him Goosebumps. Hunting her will be like chasing his own tail and that is what the alpha in him despised.
"I want a reading."
She smiled and a small tent appeared. So small the point was to keep him out.
"Let me guess you want to know about your fated? Okay. Speak to me my little earthlings (a butterfly flew to her ear as if it was saying something only she could understand.) Oh, my. My-his a beautiful young thing, creative and fertile."
"He is a beta. My mate is a beta, there is no way he can be fertile."
"(Her eyes flashed a shy amber) Yes. I can see your mate (a tiny bird went to talk to her alongside a firefly and his confusion was intensified by the scene.)… Oh, by the looks of things you are yet to meet… Ok… Mmm... I am not a therapist but I need to know. How are things going between you and your mate?"
"I have come to see a gypsy."
She laughed.
"Expected. Very much so."
"What do you mean?"
"You need your sun to be truly content and happy in your relationship you need your Sun, you have your moon and you will be required to be the water. Aah, this would make a beautiful story. To make the relationship between your and the moon last forever, you must find the sun. ."
"Where do we find this sun?"
"How must I know? I have to go now. I suggest you hold on to your relationship with your mate together for now, I sense your sun is not far he will find you. You are their alpha so you need to know your relationship is like a puzzle, you need each piece to complete the picture."
When? Where? How? She left without collecting her compensation for the somewhat confusing service.
*Poof* she's gone.
