Her Younger Mate (Old Version)

Chapter 9: The Favor

A/N: So, people are actually reading this story and giving encouraging words. Thank you so much. Also, 1.1k reads. This is most than what I expected. The first two, three months or so, this book only had my own reads, so this makes me extremely happy. Thank you for giving this book an opportunity!

Almost two months had passed since the 'friendly date' with Xander and sadly he has been pretty busy. It turns out he was in town for business and it is difficult for him to leave his own territory very often. We do text all the time and talk on the phone every day. He is slowly replacing Elena as my confidant. He only advises but never judges, but I would never mention any of that to Elena. I still call her every day in the afternoons and she makes sure I wake up to go to work every day. I also talk to my brother about pack related matters. Even if I am not present, I pretty much serve the same functions in my pack.

 I have lunch with Alexandra every day and I have grown very fond of her. I still do not dare to mention that Caleb might be my mate, though. 

Today is Tuesday and I am meeting with Marcy at the cafe-library as usual. We go get coffee and new books on Tuesdays and Thursdays and on any other day we both feel like it. I have become very close to her.

I tell her everything not related to Caleb. She does know that I suspect that my mate is one of my students and she supports it. I also told her some things about my past and she have shared hers with me as well.

She often asks me for advice even for pack related matters, since she knows I serve as a Beta for my own pack, but she and Alpha King agreed to keep my rank a secret. I went back to training which is not difficult as the forest literally extends to my backyard.

The most notable thing that has happened, though, is that I have not found Caleb with any other girl since that day in the park and he is always being nice to me and smiling. Maybe he is finally changing as his birthday is approaching.

"Anyway, do you know why I asked to meet with me today?" Marcy' voice brought me back from my daydreaming.

"Marcy, we have met here at this same time every single Tuesday and Thursday for the last couple of weeks." I swear I saw her blush but she looked away.

"Anyway, this time there is a legit reason," she said sipping some of her coffee. "I need to ask you a huge favor."

"Sure, Marcy. I am in great debt with you. I would do anything I can to help you out," I rubbed her arm.

"During the last couple of weeks Caleb's behavior has gotten worse and worse. He is now bringing girls to the Alpha's house and he had never done that before."

I stiffened. I guess he has not changed after all.

She kept talking. "You are closer to his age and a figure of authority, maybe if you advise him, he will understand. Aaron and I are getting worried, and to be honest I feel sorry for his future mate. Imagine if she is seeing what he is doing now, she would be heartbroken in the future!"

Oh you have no idea my dear friend.

"It hurts less and less each time." I whispered. "I mean, Marcy with all due respect it would be too uncomfortable for me to talk to him about personal things. I am just his teacher, not a counselor. I have no authority to do that."

"I know, but I am asking this as a friend and as a... Luna... I have tried everything I could come up with, and nothing seems to get to him. I am desperate."

I sighed. She asked me as a Luna. There is no way that I could reject this petition and she knows it.

"What do you want me to do? Maybe meet with him after school and ask him if there is a reason for doing what he does?"
