Have you tried asking him?
No male werewolf would lie to his mate if she questioned him directly. I don’t think the wolf would allow it
Me
I don’t want to ask him
That would make things awkward

Seems like a basic question before jumping into relationship of casual sex. Just go with a relaxed, “Hey, before we go any further, you aren’t thinking of me as your mate, right?”
Tori
And if he says yes, leave
Me
He won’t say yes. We’re not mates!
Tori
If you’re sure of that, there’s no point in wondering, is there?
I sighed, and didn’t answer the message.
I was sure.
Fairly sure.
Pretty sure.
Sure-ish, at least.
And I didn’t know if I was willing to risk letting him walk away. Not after how much fun I’d had the night before, and during lunch. We hadn’t even done anything sexual when we shared a meal, and it had still been fun. It seemed like he just wanted to be my friend.
Tori
If it makes you feel any better, I can’t see you mating with a beta. They’re still pretty damn dominant. I think you need someone nicer
Bauther was nice, though.
Nice enough to intervene before I got stuck having a conversation with someone named Ox, who was apparently very forward and not great at taking no for an answer.
Love
But fate doesn’t make sense sometimes. Can’t count on it to be logical
Tori
Um, what? You were vocally against her and Bauther as anything more than sex buddies
Me
Why were either of you talking about me and Bauther?
