“You saw this didn’t you?” I accuse. She smiles. “You should have told me!”
“And watch you freak out even more? No thank you. Besides, you know I don’t meddle.”
“Please! You’re the most meddlesome meddler that ever meddled!” I shriek in my panic. Total lie, Jas never meddles, I’m just all over the place.
“Yeah, yeah. So spill the beans.”
“Well, I’m sure you saw what happened on the ice.”
“I saw the crash, the fall and your super-hot make out session. How did you not melt that ice?”
“I have no idea what came over me! I was knocked flying and when I saw that it was the guy from the yoga class—”
“Whit.”
“Yeah, Whit, I blinked and suddenly we were kissing.”
“Girl, that was way more than kissing. Ash had to cover Ade’s eyes and distract her with candyfloss, we were that convinced you were going to start ripping each other’s clothes off! Ade just said ‘it’s okay, I know that’s how babies are made!’ I almost died.”
I groan. I really hope she’s exaggerating, but remembering how I felt, I know she’s right. If we weren’t interrupted we would have put on quite a show for the town’s residents. I squirm in embarrassment.
“Oh god, sorry. She’s just so inquisitive, you know?”
“It’s fine. At least she already knew and wasn’t asking me. So, what happened in the medical room?” Jas asks, her face alight with excitement.
“Yas remembered me falling the other day and asked what I was because the cut had healed already.”
“Yikes. Way to keep a low profile.”
“I know. I didn’t tell him. Then Quilo asked me out.”
Jas grins and claps her hands together in excitement.
“But Yas growled at him and I swear to god I almost came on the spot. It was the sexiest sound. Then they started fighting, Quilo and Whit both claiming I’m their mate, even though it’s impossible because my species doesn’t have mates, and then Yas threw a spanner in the works by declaring that I’m his mate.”
“So what did you do!”
“I ran! What the hell else could I have done?”
“Gang banged them all on the doctor’s couch?” Jas says innocently.
“Oh ha, ha. Very funny. Jas, I’m not like you—”
“Rude!”
“I only mean, elemental shifters don’t have mates. They have to be mistaken or confused or something. I don’t even know these guys!”
“But part of your power is that you can shift into any animal, right?”
“So long as it’s linked to my affinity elements, yes.”
“So, thinking about it logically, maybe you can have a mate, or mates, because many of those animals you shift into do.”
“But…”
“I think it makes sense.”
“And I think they’re mistaken.”
