Two Mates of The Late Blooming Luna? novel Chapter 7

Both of our eyes widened in shock as a word rolled out of our tongues at the same time,

“MATE!”

Neither of us spoke. We were completely speechless. Both of us were just staring at each other at that compromising position with utterly astonished expressions on our faces.

How could this be possible?

I have already found my mate!

He can’t be my mate!

I was dragged out of my train of thoughts when the third person decided to speak in the matter.

“Did you both just say ‘Mate’? What was that? Did I see sparks generating from your bodies?” asked Alice with the same shocked expressions but soon it changed into the brightest and most approving smile on her face.

“You guys are Mates!” she added jumping happily.

“What?” asked both of us in unison.

We looked at her confusedly then at each other and I realized that we were not at stable position yet.

Luke helped me to stand on my feet gently but his hands were still on my waist keeping me close to his delicious body. I pushed him lightly and created the much needed space between us which was previously absent.

“Congratulations! You found your mate brother and she is so beautiful” said Alice punching her confused brother’s shoulder.

Reality hit us like a truck after she wished us. We were still trying to contemplate the situation.

“Huh? Oh!” he replied in a muddled tone.

“I.. No.. What?.. Huh?” I asked confusedly as none of it was making sense to me and both of us looked at each other for a fraction of seconds again before I realized I must excuse myself before I lose my mind completely.

“I need to go” I said while moving towards my room which was just next to Alice’s room.

“What happened to her? Maybe she is shocked too!! Or maybe she is just shy!” I heard the overly excited Alice’s words while entering my room and closing the door behind.

I stood there resting my back on the door trying to catch the breath I was holding the entire time when I was in his arms.

‘What was that? Is he really my mate? Then who was the wolf I met in the forest? Was I wrong this entire time? Can I have two mates? Is it even possible to have two mates?’ I thought as I couldn’t figure out what the hell was happening.

“I don’t know! I don’t know anything” I said in a low tone and grabbed a fistful of my hair and started pulling it in frustration.

‘If the wolf from the forest is my mate then how Luke is my mate too? What am I supposed do? What was I feeling when I was in Luke’s arm? Is it why I was attracted to him from the start?’ I started questioning myself while sitting on my bed.

I could still hear the Smith sibling’s conversation.

“SSsshhh! Keep this a secret from others for now” said Luke keeping his index finger on his sister’s mouth.

‘Why?’ I thought confusedly but Alice asked the same thing but with much disappointment.

“Why?”

“Did you see her reaction? She is confused” said Luke in a plain tone.

‘And when did he become so thoughtful?’ I thought.

“She just found out that you are her mate on the very first meeting! What did you expect? According to my observation, you look more confused. Is it because that b*tch you sleep with?” asked Alice angrily.

“No, I stopped hanging out with her long ago” said Luke in his defense.

“Just in front of me! Do you really think I don’t know what happens behind my back? You better stop it this time or I am telling mom” Alice threatened her brother. Her tone was as cold as ice block.
