“Yes, I’m sure. Do you really think I wouldn’t be able to sense my own mate?” I roll my eyes at Nic and turn to Jay.
“I don’t know how this is possible but if it’s meant to be, then it’s meant to be.” He nods his head in return and gives me a huge smile that lets me know that he feels the same.
Do I want to share my fated mate? No, but I think we always figured we might share a partner between some of us. A lot of supernaturals do, although we never talked about it. Probably because we are different species and that’s pretty frowned upon.
But Jax and I’s parents did it so why couldn’t we? I guess Jay and I will be. Shit, I wonder how Aly will feel about multiple mates, especially different species? Depends on how she was raised I guess. We were raised to follow our hearts but not everyone is.
“I wonder what Aly is?” That would help answer how she might feel about this.
“I didn’t sense anything,” Jay says.
“And she didn’t really react like she knew we were her mates… Wait she doesn’t know. She doesn’t know we are mates, Jay.”
I think we were both just so shocked and caught up in things that we didn’t really realize she moved on like it was nothing. She walked away from us.
“How are we going to tell her?” Jay looks as worried as I feel now. Is it possible she’s a human?
Jeremy clearly doesn’t care about the crisis we are having, but it breaks the tension for us.
“Great, now you dumb asses are going to be like puppy dogs for this girl all year and we are going to have to deal with it,” Jeremy, that moody fucker, so helpfully points out.
“Don’t be jealous Jer, it doesn’t fit with your ‘I don’t give a fuck’ attitude.” Jay points out with a big fuck you smile on his face.
And I would never think Jer could feel jealousy but I think when it comes to mates, everyone might feel that way.
Shit, I wonder how Jax is feeling about this. I swing around to focus on him. He looks calm as always but I know my twin better than anyone and I can see the jealousy and sadness in his eyes. I want to fix it but how?
I always imagined he and I would at least share a mate. He has always been a believer in fated mates and that he would find his. More than anyone I know. He deserves this more than me but I would never give Aly up, not even for my twin.
If she is mine and Jay’s then there is still a chance she could be Jax’s mate too.
“Where is she anyway? I am surprised you guys let her get away.” My brother has a good point, I need to find her again.
But first, “Jax she could be your mate too. We won’t know until you meet her.”
He nods but he doesn’t look like he has much faith. It would be a coincidence but we are twins so the possibility feels stronger to me.
“She could be any of your mates, actually,” Jay adds.
Everyone looks like that’s crazy but they don’t contradict us. Probably to keep a little hope and so they don’t rain on our parade. Well everyone but Jer of course.
“The last thing I want is a mate, you don’t need to bullshit me to make yourself feel better.”
If he ever feels what I felt touching Aly for the first time, I’m pretty sure he would feel differently.
Suddenly, a jolt shoots through me again as someone taps on my shoulder. I would recognize that feeling anywhere.

Aly
After that interaction, I’m feeling off. I have a nagging feeling in my stomach but I have no idea what for. It’s like my instincts are trying to get me to go back, but why?
The conversation has been going on around me but I’m too distracted to pay any attention. Of course, Anna notices and checks in like the great friend she is.
“Hey girly, you doing good?” Anna asks before stifling a yawn.
Oh good, she’s tired too. Maybe I can convince her it’s time to go, “Ya, but I’m pretty tired too, what do you say we head home?”
