The Return

Theo/Gage's POV

We left her at school. After hearing her utter those words, broke us. We knew better and yet we still opened ourselves up to this. We weren't angry with her, okay maybe slightly, but who could blame us? She's giving that bastard another chance. Even after that though, we were still more angry at ourselves. She had a mate, why couldn't we just comprehend that and leave her alone. Maybe then we wouldn't feel our heart shattering as we walked away. Thinking back to that stupid plan...Why did we agree? Now we can't have her and she hates us.

Why did we ever think that this would work?

Gawd, we're so stupid. The first person we ever felt something for and it blew up in our faces. We hate being a Rejected. Was it so wrong for us to find the love most people did? We wanted a mate, someone to call ours, but the world is cruel. Well, it's not the worlds fault, its my Ancestors. We'd never blame Moona, we knew why she put that spell on them, though she didn't know it would affect us.

We sigh as we sit down on a bench, needing to just clear our minds. We run our hands through our hair and let out a long sigh. We look up and close our eyes, relishing in the heat of the suns rays. Letting our thoughts run around, not wanting to think of the pain anymore. As we sat there we feel a presence sit next to us. Feeling a poke on our arm we growled. Another poke came down on our arm, making us growl louder.

"You better stop poking me, who ever you are." We say still keeping our eyes closed.

"Well is that anyway to talk to your best friend?" We hear a familiar voice tsk while continuing to poke us. We sit up immediately and look over to the person. We look him over and see his sandy brown hair, which is shorter now, and his grey-like eyes shining brightly in our direction.

"A-Adrian?" We stutter out, flabbergasted at his presence. We reach up carefully to touch him, not believing that he's really here. He smiles and brings us into his embrace, hugging us tightly. We let out a strangled sob as we clutch him tightly to us.

We had known Adrian since we were in diapers. Uncle Steven and Adrian's parents were the best of friends as well. He was my partner in crime. When we were taken away, he was one of the people we missed the most. We always thought of him as our brother. We were always his wingmen, because knowing my best friend, he was the top player of our school. Sure we had a few girls who asked us out but we were never interested. Adrian though loved the attention, he slept with almost every girl in our school. Even though he could be a major jerk to most people he was still our best friend and we wouldn't trade him for anything in the world.

"I thought I'd never see you again." We whipser and pull back trying to stop the tears from falling. Since we got here, we've cried a lot. Gosh, don't we feel manly.

"Don't go all mushy on me now." He says with a playful glare, even though we know why he hates it. He's never liked talking about feelings, or showing them for that matter. Adrian never had the easiest life and yet he still smiled everyday.

"How did you find me?"

"I didn't really. My parents decided to move out here and what do you know, I'm walking down the street, towards the park and there, on a bench I see my long lost best friend." He chuckles while leaning back against the bench. We smile and continue to listen to our friend blabber on about what we've missed since we've been gone.

"Have you taken over your pack yet?" He suddenly asks us making our eyes widen in shock. He knows about werewolves?

"Oh don't play dumb with me buddy. I can smell the Alpha scent on you from a mile away. Don't know why you never told me, but I'll let it slide. For now." We just smile and shake our head at him, loving the fact that he's back. It makes us forget about earlier.

Unfortunately, thinking about it now brings a frown upon our face. He immediately sees it and sighs.

"What happened?" He asks us calmly. We go to say that its nothing, knowing that he doesn't enjoy these kinds of talks but he interrupts us and tells us to spill. Got to love him.

"I met someone, but I knew I had to stay away. Me, being the idiot that I am, tried to pursue her and..." So we proceeded to explain to him the situation about Izzy. During the whole time he doesn't interrupts, only listens. After we're done speaking we wait for him to answer.

"Damn. Well first things first. You're an idiot. Secondly, why are you here when you should be fighting for her? Tell her how you feel Theo. From what I've heard so far about this Beau guy, he doesn't deserve that second chance. Now go, go apologize and fight for her. I'll see you later. Here's my number. It was so good to see you again Theo." He says handing us his number then casually walking off. We take in a deep breath and begin our walk back home.

When we reach the place, we immediately spot Izzy, just as she's about to walk into the house.

"Izzy!" We yell out to grab her attention. She sees us running over to her and tries to walk away but we catch her wrist and turn her to face us.

"Can we please talk?" We ask her, wanting to do it now before we loose our confidence. We can see the hesitation in her eyes but she looks up into our pleading ones then silently nods. We smile and lead her into the woods, so we'll have some privacy.

Once we know were far enough we turn to her but before we can speak she pipes up.

"Will you please tell me now, why you came up with that plan?" She begs out, grabbing our hand and looking up at us innocently. We gulp and look down at the ground, building up the courage to say it.

"I-I-" We begin to stutter, becoming tongue tied. She apparently takes it wrong and starts to walk away. We panic and do the only thing we can think of. We grab her wrist again and pull her towards us. We cup her chin, tilting her head up and smash our lips with her soft ones.

Best first kiss ever.
