Why me?

Chapter 4

Josh's POV
I could tell that something was off about Luke from the moment he stepped out on stage. What was really strange was the fact that he practically ran off stage as soon as our break was announced. Curious I followed him. Once off stage I watched as he seemed to be begging something out of one of our crew members. Walking up to him I gasped at what I saw flash in his eyes. It was the look of a man who had found his mate. Now, you could ask me how I knew, but trust me. I had watched every other member of our pack find their mates, so I knew right away. As soon as I started questioning him, he had immediately denied it but I could tell he was lying by the way he would avoid looking me in the eye. As we were arguing, I heard someone clear their throat. Luke whipped around and I looked passed him to where a boy who I guessed to be about 18 stood. He looked anxious at first but it then faded to something unreadable as he stared at Luke. Luke stared back for a few seconds before slowly walking towards him. As he got closer I watched in horror as Luke slowly leaned down and kissed him. No, not on the forehead or cheek. Oh no Luke kissed this stranger he had never met passionately on the lips. What was he doing?! I felt sick to my stomach. Here was my best friend and alpha sucking another guy's face while everyone around us stared in shock. Could this possibly get any worse? I thought. That was when the boy wrapped his arms around the back of Luke's neck and kissed him back just as passionately. Really Josh? You just had to ask that didn't you? I looked over at the security guards and I could tell that they were in the same boat as me. Embarrassed and feeling somewhat sick by the looks of it, one guard finally had enough. He coughed just loud enough to get their attention. I would have smirked at the sight of them away from each other if I wasn't so shocked. Luke turned to glare at us before whispering something in the boy's ear making him turn an even darker shade of red and nodding quickly. Luke smiled and grabbed his arm, leading him towards his trailer. Oh hell no! This was NOT happening! I was about to give chase when one of the guards, Larry grabbed me from behind and prevented me from following after them. "Let me go." I growled. He just shook his head while still holding on to me. "Remember what we were taught as pups? Never get between a wolf and his mate." Larry reminded me and I growled once more but I stopped struggling. Don't get me wrong I really wanted for Luke
to get a mate, but this was not what I expected when I pictured Luke's mate. I had always thought of his mate to be a small cute girl, not a short thin boy. Although I have to admit, he is pretty cute. Wait! No I did not just think that.
