My hidden mate
Chapter 4

(Her)

The first semester has passed pretty quickly and we've just finished our exams yesterday. We only had 3 missions with the Team L as Selina is taking more responsibilities at the castle. We're still waiting for her to mark Noah, her mate. To be clear, Selina is our future Queen and she is a Lycan. As Noah is a hybrid Werewolf / Witch, she has to be the one to mark him first. Lycans are the most powerful creature and to avoid unwanted mating, the Moon Goddess has decided that it will always be the Lycan who marks its mate first. To be marked by a Lycan turns you into one of them. Liam and Asher think they will be marked in the next month. We will see... I cross my fingers for them.

As for Ash, he's splitting his time between me, Ezra and Logan, even if he doesn't spend enough time with them. He needs to be more involved in the pack's life and less with me, as he is the future Gamma. I know I'm not helping him because every time we are all together Ezra and I always replace a way to fight, mainly for stupids details. I'm trying to work on that but Ezra is so... Uhm!!! Annoying, arrogant, too proud, too perfect. Everything is literally perfect in him. He is smart, beautiful like god beautiful, he is full of humor. The list is so long. Even his voice is perfect, so deep and suave. He is just driving me crazy and I'm sure he's doing on purpose.

The other person who is really annoying me is Mariana, Logan's little sister. I don't know what we did to her but she is always attacking us and she is so disrespectful against Ash. I don't understand. I tried a few times to speak about her with him but he is avoiding the subject. When he will be ready he will speak to me. Even if I have already an idea of what's going on. And if I'm right, Goddess help me, I will make her pay. If you want to know my theory, I think she is Ash's mate but that she has rejected him. If she really did it she is the most stupid girl that I have ever met. Also, she is partying a lot and is changing boyfriends almost every week and I can see how it’s bothering Ash.

“Hey! We have a mission, I think. Tom just called me we have to go.” Ash says.

“Tom called you and not S.? How unusual?! Why did he call you only?” I ask surprised.

“Maybe because you don’t have your phone. You forgot it this morning, remember?”

“Yeah. Let go pick it up before going. Do you know where we have to meet?”

He nods:” The castle.”

“Well, that’s a first!” I comment.

“Yep, I’m curious to see it.”

Well, it was not really a mission but it was nice as we organized a surprise party for Selina’s birthday. The party was nice even if it was weird to be the only ones no Lycans. We were three me, Ash, and Noah, even if Noah was not disturbed at all. At the end of the evening, it's only us. Us is Me, Ash, Selina, Noah, Tom, and his mate Emily. Tom was a werewolf until he was turned by Emily who is a Lycan. I was already impressed by him before I'm even more now. And yes Noah is not a Lycan yet, Selina has not marked him yet.

"Thank you to you all. It was really nice!" Selina tells us.

"We have something to tell you." Tom announces looking at me and Ash.

"We already know we are expecting. Did you create it while switching bodies?" Ash jokes.

Uhm! Why does he at to speak about that again?! Tom, for safety reasons, had to hide his real identity while he met Emily. To help him to explain, I've cast a spell that didn't turn as I was expecting as they switch their bodies. Anyway, they had the idea to try what does it feels like to have sex in the opposite sex and Ash really liked the idea.

"Pervert!" I say throwing him a pillow.

"Don't be so uptight!" He laughs.

"Yes, Tom told us what happened but I have to agree with Asher. I'm curious too to know how it feels." Selina says and I shake my head.

"Really? That could be arranged really easily, my love." Noah replies kissing is head and sitting her on his lap.

"See, Lana. I'm not a pervert. You are the one who is not normal." Ash tells sticking his tongue. And I'm the weirdo!

"Grow up Asher!"

There is another thing when we started to work for Team L, Ash asked me to call him Asher because it was "more professional". Now that we are friends, he told me that I could call him Ash in front of them but I like to annoy him. I'm normally calling him Ash only when I'm upset with him.

"We will see when you will meet your mate." Tom tells me.

It's crazy how love can change someone. Tom was depressed and a pessimist when we met him and now he is the opposite.

"We will see about that."

"Both of you, didn't meet your mates yet?" Emily asks me and Asher.

"No." We both say at the same time. To fast to be the truth.

"Okay..." She replies.

“Anyway, you wanted to announce something?” I ask focusing the discussion on something else.

“Right! For months now, we are speaking about our pack. I mean how Selina, Emily, and I are a pack. We would like to become a pack of 6, meaning we want you both to join us.” Tom explains.

“What?” He adds for Selina who is shaking her head.

“You are telling that like they have the choice. We are speaking about them becoming part of our pack for months and we’re already considering them as part of us. They are the last people we're telling when they are the first concerned.” She replies.

Wow!!! Ash is as stunned that I am.

“It’s called be polite Princess and apparently they didn’t teach you that! Did they ever teach you something useful.” Tom smirks.

“It’s called lying Thomas, and we’re not lying to friends!” She retorts giving him a finger. “Moreover you’re a Lycan now so you know how possessive we’re about what we claimed.”

“What does that mean for us? Do we have to become Lycan too?” I ask once I replace my voice again.

“That is up to have. I would like for you both to become ones of us but I will not force you.” Selina replies.

“I can also teach you how to become a Lycan without losing your magic if it’s what’s worrying you.” Noah adds.

“What about our werewolf’s pack? Do we have to leave it?” Ash asks.

“You don’t have to. At least not now. What we know is we’re trusting you with our lives and our secret. With what happened to Selina we think it’s a good idea to have a small group of trusted people, of true friends.” Tom explains.

“We’re accepting!” Ash says with Pride.

“Asher! We have to think about it!” I reprimand him.

“Come on Lana, there’s nothing to think about. Our future Queen wants us to be part of her pack. People would kill to be in our place. Moreover, you heard them we don’t have the choice. Not really. We are already part of this. So you’re in or you’re in?”
