But that's not all. I didn't explain it fully to him. It's not just about going on dates with others.
My first kiss was with Luke. My first time will also be Luke.
On the other hand, I'm neither his first kiss and nor am his first sex partner.
And that's bothering me.
I waited for him. Why didn't he wait for me? I know it's not uncommon for young werewolves to date before they find their mate, and as I said before, Ben and Claire have done it too.
But Luke having a prior relationship makes me feel like I should've had that, too. Then I wouldn't feel our situation so unfair to me.
I decide to get right on point with him. Let's get everything out in the open. "Who was your first time with?" I ask him.
He smirks. "You look sexy when you're jealous."
"Answer me first, then you can go back to admiring me."
He takes his hand to the back of his neck and gives a shy smile.
Even though he looks terribly cute doing that, I'm getting angry at his reaction. Was his first time that good that he's feeling shy about it even now?!
He grabs my hand and takes me behind one of the pillars. He pushes my back against the pillar and rests his hand on it to my side. "What got into you suddenly?" he asks. "You didn't like those girls checking me out?"
"Stop thinking so highly of yourself. I just want to know who you first had sex with. If you don't want to share, that's fine. I was just curious."
"You," he says.
"You what?"
"My first time – will be with you."
In an instant, all the noises in the aquarium fade away. My mouth drops open. "Are you telling me you're a virgin?!"
He covers my mouth. "Don't shout," he whispers. "But yes, that's what I'm saying."
As much as it's common people having sex before they find their mate, it's also common people waiting till they find their mate.
But with the future Alpha and Beta boys, it's rare.
However, Mike stayed a virgin until he met his mate, Violette. And unlike most mates who decide to stay with each other, Mike is here and Violette is in Australia. She wants to stay a while longer in her home pack, till Mike becomes the Alpha of our pack. Then she'll come here and take her place as the Luna.
I remove Luke's hand from my mouth, grinning.
"Where did your bad mood suddenly go now?" he asks.
"You're not lying to me, right? I know you and Katie dated for two years!"
He sighs. "Believe it or not, she was not my first girlfriend. I've been dating since I was ten years old," he says, cockily.
"So then, you were saving yourself for me?" I ask him with equal cockiness.
He pulls me by my waist towards him. "I'll be honest with you," he says. "It's not that the thought of having sex with a girl I was dating never crossed my mind. But whenever I came close to doing it, something stopped me. I could almost feel my mate was waiting for me," he says. "On the other hand, I never felt tempted by anyone that much, either. I knew that the second I met you at the party and my wolf recognized you as my mate. It took every cell on my body to stop myself from taking you to bed."
I blush. I remember that day, too. Ironically, it wasn't the first time I saw Luke. I've seen him before, probably a couple of times, during inter-pack meetings.
