Our Teammate Novels & Stories

"That's not a big loss." I give him a dirty look through the bathroom door. I love that we've gotten to a comfortable stage in our relationship where I can get ready while he hangs out in my bedroom. "Be nice. These are our friends." He tosses the magazine to the side and leans back, closing his eyes and clasping his hands behind his head, a small smile on his face. "They may be your friends. But they're my teammates. For most of the year I see them at practice, shower with them in the locker room, live with them on the road. I can wait a few more days."

I knew I had to keep my thoughts to myself, lest my teammates make fun of me if my guess turned out to be wrong. As we continued walking, my eyes scanned the dark surroundings, searching for any trace of red. Was it the color of roses, or something else entirely? The suspense was palpable, and my heart raced with anticipation. Suddenly, a loud and enthusiastic voice broke the silence. "I think I guessed it. It's the color red," my teammate exclaimed, and I saw Brent and the others nod in agreement, clearly impressed by his guess.

He was not only my future alpha but my brother and my best friend as well, he was family. ‘’Follow me I can smell her’’ i ordered as soon as her sent invaded my nose. She was my mate her sent was stronger to me. I was running towards her as fast as I could, I needed to get her back. We informed the other teams for our location and they were running towards us.

I trained until it was finally the day of the game. The air was thick with excitement and anticipation, the crowd a roaring sea of blue and white. My teammates and I stood in a huddle, the coach giving us a pep talk, her words a mix of encouragement and strategy. I looked at them and for the first time in a long time, I didn't feel like an outsider. I felt like a part of the team.

I like seeing how her white teeth are exposed in her laugh. "Hey, Hiro. Wanna go with us?" Just a sudden, a classmate of mine ask me, reluctantly. They look so scared at me. Yeah, because they are used to know me as an ignorant person. I look at them with sharp and serious eyes, but I immediately laugh a little which makes them chuckles, releasing their nervousness. "Sure," I reply to them, nodding my head. "That's cool!" Josh says with a giant smile. He is one of my teammates in soccer.

"That's what I'm here for, Dante. Now go out there and win us that title!" I nodded, feeling a sense of purpose. I was going to put everything aside and focus on the game. For myself, for my team, and for Wexford. As I walked off the field, I saw my teammates gathered around the dugout, chatting and laughing. I joined them, feeling a sense of camaraderie. We were in this together, and we were going to come out on top. "Hey, Dante, you good?" one of my teammates asked, noticing my distant expression.

“Is No. 4 stupid? Can’t he see that your teammate has fallen? Why are you standing there in a daze? Come and save me?” I took a look. It was the teammate who had fallen into the ground and was talking. I frowned, and the hand that was about to save her stopped. There was no saving. I squatted to the side and drank the Coke. The female teammate scrammed even harder. “Do you have a brain? Save me!” I still didn’t save her and continued drinking my Coke. The No. 1 teammate came and saved her. She stood up with only a trace of blood. And she asked her teammate, “No. 1, do you have medicine? Give one.”

My teammates clapped shoulders, slapped sticks together. I couldn’t even look up. Because I knew. We’d won the game by one point, barely—but I’d lost something way more personal out there. He didn’t just make a fool out of me. He fucking dismantled me.

I gave the most gentle and warm smile I could possibly muster off to him before dropping my eyes back to Jamal. “I’m sorry, but I don’t fuck teammates. Things could get pretty shitty, and I don’t like when people accuse me of fucking through the whole team. So, we good?” I responded. I could hear a relieved huff of breath escape Theo. He didn’t seem to have realized how tense he was or the sarcasm in my words either.

"If I may be so bold, I am not only your closest friend but I am also your mate. Together we have been through so much, so much that you don't even realize it, and I once said that we are a team, that we'll work together but I failed to hold up my end of that deal." My skin was immune to the warmth that the fire had now started to provide the room with, my thoughts instantly going back to that conversation I had only a month ago with my mate even though, now, it felt like it was years ago. "Like I said, there are things that you have yet to understand... Just remember that I am with you every step of the way, we're a team," He once spoke to me. I nodded for him to continue.
