Midfield Academy: Book 3

Chapter 140: Hair Cut (19 years, 7 months)

"My dad said yes!"

"Yes to what?" said Jesse.

"Jagger asked him if we could be mates. He said yes! It's happening, it's actually happening."

Jesse laughed. "Finally, that mother fucker grew a pair. That's awesome. Did he mark you?"

Raven peeked out of his room at the dominant that was flopped over in the furs. "He's a little overwhelmed at the moment. My dad and grandpa are fighting about something random which isn't helping. I think my grandpa thought we'd be a good match or something like that." He chewed on a claw. "Um... did you know Jagger was going too? You don't sound that surprised."

"I've known for years," stated Jesse. "Did I give Jagger a reality check before he left, maybe."

Smiling to himself, Raven rubbed his shoulder. "Thanks."

"I always got your back, Rav. May god have mercy if you get some before me— Better yet, heaven help that damn brother of yours."

Raven sucked in his lips to keep from smiling. "Who knows, Jagger and I mating might get Daven to take that step as well."

"Like hell, am I going to be the last one mated," said Jesse. "I was engaged first. I should have been mated first, but fucking Liam had to mess that up."

Raven picked at the fur on his side. "Well, who knows maybe Jagger will want to wait."

"Doubt it. Like I said, you're gorgeous. He'll only be able to hold out for so long."

The white werewolf scoffed. "Jagger isn't you. He'll wait."

"Because you want him too?"

"I want to be his mate. I'm not as innocent as you think."

Jesse laughed. "Whatever you say. If anything, it'll make Christmas more interesting. Aunt Karen is going to freak out when she hears you two are together. Who knows she might make you have a human wedding."

Raven rolled his eyes. "Neither of us is human, so that will not be happening."

"You never know. She tends to get her way." Jesse took a big breath. "I better go and tell Daven the good news. We've been wondering if Jagger finally asked you."

The sub glanced at his mother. "My mom might be doing that right now."

"I don't doubt that either," said Jesse, sounding amused. "Come to think of it, this might be my chance to get the man in bed."

"Okay, I think I should go and check on Jagger. I'll call you later."

"Sounds good, bye."

"Bye." Raven ended the call and pressed his phone to his chest.

Jagger still hadn't moved. Tossing the phone into his bed, Raven wandered over and sat beside him. He laid against the dominant's side. Jagger placed his arm around the boy and rested his head against the sub's.

"How are you doing?"

Taking in a deep breath, the black werewolf shrugged. "It's processing."

Raven nuzzled the man's cheek. "I was wondering if I could sleep in your room. If it's too much, I can sleep in mine. I just wanted to ask."

Jagger tightened his hold on the sub. "My bed is plenty big enough for both of us."

Smiling to himself, Raven snuggled into his soon-to-be fiance's fur. They were an actual couple and the sub couldn't have been more excited.

The door opened and Raven had to brace himself as Aunt Karen attacked. She hugged the sub and dragged his face down to her level.
