    Stella wondered into the living room where her mate was sitting on the couch, thankfully the other wolves weren't anywhere to be found. Actually they were, Louis was in the games room while Niall and Harry were playing a fun game of soccer in the back yard. The game had been fun to start with before it became more serious, Stella decided to leave them alone as she knew the game would last quite a while as both wolf wanted to win. So she shuffled across the floor with bare feet, her toe nails painted a bright red. Her black leggings clung to her legs while her cute oversized sweater seemed to swallow her whole, "One of them is going to get hurt one day." She spoke in her sweet voice as yelling and cheering could be heard from outside, she turned around and sat down on Liam's lap as he relaxed on the extremely soft and comfortable couch. Her long locks were braided right down to the ends, which she had Liam do after she taught him how. Something that no one else would ever find out, it was something sweet he did for her.

    Lifting her jaw she pressed her warm lips to the scruff that decorated Liam's chin and cheeks, she smiled feeling the hair tickle her skin like it always did. "Are you sure that everyone is alright with Carter staying here? It won't be for long, he's super nice and I'm sure all the guys will love him." She smiled as her brown eyes shone with happiness, not just from having finally found her mate after numerous shitty dates and boyfriends. But also because she'd be seeing her best friend again, she missed Carter like crazy and was going to make sure they made a lot more time for each other. She had only heard about his new apartment, it sounded tiny but she was positive that he'd make it amazing none the less.
    Zayn was sitting in the kitchen having a snack, he has been feeling deflated and has been moping around the mansion ever since Liam brought Stella home with him. Their were mates and he could see in their faces and how they acted together, just how much love their felt for the other person. Zayn has been running through that fucking forest for a few years now and he's always left empty handed, the guys and Stella tried to comfort him but he was sick of not having his mate. Someone who will know every single thing about him, someone who will know exactly when to hold him and will have the right things to say. Just someone who he can give his heart and soul to, a huge piece of him was missing and he knew his mate would fill that hole. He had tried to let it all go, but the feelings returned within moments. He could put on a smile but the smile didn't reach his dark eyes, he tended to stay in his bedroom a lot more now so he wouldn't bring down anyone's mood.

    He was beginning to wonder if he even had a mate in the world, a heavy sigh past his lips when he heard the doorbell ring. "I'll get it," He murmured only loud enough for Liam to hear him, he was closer to the front door after all. He pushed himself off the stroll he was sitting on and walked through to the front door, he knew Stella's friend was staying with them for a little while. His fingers wrapped around the handle and pulled the door open, "Hi come in..." He spoke before his eyes moved to look at this boy, the second his eyes connected with Carter's he felt his body freeze. He even held his breath as his world came crashing down around him, nothing seemed to matter anymore. He had to look like an idiot as he stood there, he snapped out of it when Stella slipped past him so she could hug her friend tightly.

    Liam had been flipping through the channels on the television when Stella plopped onto his lap, his arm coming around to wrap around her waist automatically, pulling her in till he could feel her breathe tickle at his warm skin. He knew today was a big day, she's spoken to him about it before and all the lads in the house were aware and were a little excited themselves, well besides Zayn as they knew he was still feeling down in the dumps about his mate and his quest on finding the person. "Niall is hoping your friend likes guitar, Harry likes everyone honestly, and you know how Louis is, he's fine with it, all of them are yeah," he murmurs, enjoying keeping his voice low and 'secret' between them even though he knew that if one of the lads were listening in and were alert than they could hear him too. Liam was more than happy to have Stella's best friend over, honestly anything that made her happy he was willing to go with.

    He was excited for Stella, sharing any of her strongest emotions since they were mates. If she was crying then he could honestly feel it in his chest, his shoulders would deflate and his mood would sour even without her being present in front of him to see her cry, he just knew she was. If she was over joyed then he could feel it too, his chest would grow and he would feel like the sun was shinning down warm on his skin, always enjoying whenever she was in such a good mood since it affected him. He was about to ask what should be cooked for dinner but she was already off of his lap and at the door before he could even utter the words. Chuckling softly he pushed himself off the ground and trailed off for her, keeping a big and warm smile on his face as he watched her hug who he knew was Carter from pictures he'd caught sight off before.

    "Hello," he greets Carter, slinging his arm around Zayn who was a bit stiff to the touch and sort of like a block just standing there. Liam assumed the other was just out of it at the moment and rubbed his arm comfortingly.
    There was nothing more exciting than seeing Stella after such a long time, well besides moving into a rather lovely tiny apartment in the city just half an hour from where Stella now resided in. Although he was far more excited to see Stella than to have to unpack all of his items and get situated in a new city. He was by far impressed by the outside of the house, it was huge, he felt like it stretched like a football field though knew it wasn't so. He knew there was six guys living in there as well as Stella, and they had a spare room for him to stay in till he could move into the apartment so he figured yeah the place would be big but not this big, he was a little uncertain as he knocked on the front door, not having been prepared to face someone god awfully attractive as the male in front of him. His cheeks quickly heating up and his chest growing tight around his heart.

    He didn't have much time to admire the other or even say hello when there was so much Stella in his arms that he felt like he was about to tip over at the initial impact of her body against his. He was quick to wrap his arms around her though, everything about her so familiar and yet new at the same time, her hair was longer, she was just as radiating, and she had a puppy trailing behind her in the form of a grown man with big brown eyes. Licking his lips he pulled back from the hug and 'smiled' at all of them, just a quirk of his lips as he wasn't the very best with new people but he could always try, he didn't want to make himself seem closed off or make a fool of himself, especially not in front of whoever the guy to the right was."Hi" he chirped, brushing some of his copper hair behind his ear.

    Zayn wasn't fully sure about the emotions that were flowing freely through his body right now, was Carter his mate? He wasn't completely sure, but if he was than he wouldn't mess up this chance by coming across as some freak who stared at people. He listened as Stella introduced Liam to her friend first before mentioning his own name, "Nice to meet you, Carter." He spoke in his thickly accented voice, he bent down to take Carter's bag into his tanned hand. He was a good host and carried Carter's bag inside for him, besides it had already been carried to the front door and Zayn would also carry the bag up stairs to the spare room. But for now he set the bag in the kitchen so Carter would have some time to spend with Stella, he managed to catch Liam's arm as Stella brought Carter inside. "I feel strange man, everything stopped when I opened that door and saw him." He whispered to his friend as he was honestly starting to think that something was wrong with him, his dark eyes showed just how uncertain he was about how he was feeling.

    Without him even noticing, his super sensitive hearing zoomed in on where Carter was in the house. He wasn't fair, of course, as Stella showed him around. But he was still listening in even when he couldn't see the copper haired male, he really should have asked more questions when his Dad told him about finding a mate. But at the time he was young and didn't care about finding his mate, something he was regretting now for certain. He felt like he needed to be around Carter, he actually had to be around Carter. Like he was the only person Carter needed in his life, like he was the only one who could protect the young boy. Zayn was beginning to enjoy whatever he is feeling, he was still confused, of course, but was still enjoying this.
    Stella knew that all the guys would get alone really well with Carter, but she still wanted to make sure because it was their house after all. She smiled as she felt Liam pull her even closer to his body, his warmth instantly surrounding her like a force field and it always comforted her. She had been looking at him when he heard the knock that she had been waiting so long to hear, she pushed herself off for Liam's lap and went running through the house. She saw Zayn's back as he stood there holding the door open, "Carter!" She squealed as she threw herself into his arms, she hugged him tightly as she had missed him so much. "You're finally here, this is Liam and this is Zayn. The others are inside," She smiled warmly as she took Carter's hand into her own, she didn't give him much time before she had pulled him inside while Zayn lifted Carter's bag for him.

    As she showed Carter the bottom floor of the house, she glanced over her shoulder quickly only to see Zayn was talking with Liam. She heard numerous pairs of rushing footsteps heading their way, "Guys this is my best friend Carter. Carter this is Niall, Harry and Louis" She pointed to each wolf as she said his name, "Welcome Carter. Do you like guitar? Or soccer? We can show you if you like," Niall was the first to greet Carter with a wide smile, though Harry and Louis both seemed just as interested in getting to know Carter.

    Liam could feel it, warm and spiraling in his stomach, a fraction of the emotions Stella was feeling right now, all of it so comforting to his skin as he stepped back and allowed her to pull her best friend away. He was about to trail after her, out of sheer habit of needing to be by her side although he stayed put when Zayn grabbed his arm. Raising one of his thick brows Liam turned towards Zayn and gave him a rather confused look at first, unsure of what the other was coming out with. "Zayn," he said warily at first, the warm feeling in his stomach settling and slowly disappearing as he leaned down to whisper with Zayn,"What are you trying to say?" he asked not wanting to make any presumptions. Liam felt like that sounded like a mates first meeting, has heard many people describe it as so before, his went rather different but it was an undeniable feeling.

    "Zayn, maybe you need to relax a little?" he said slowly, wrapping both his hands around Zayn's biceps as he gave his friend a strong look. He knew Zayn hasn't been himself for a while now, each forest chase took a beating out of him and he knew just as well as the others that Zayn really wanted to be with his mate. It was always a certain point in a werewolves life that it just became a necessity, a desire that would creep up on you, a desperate need of finding and having your mate by your side. "Do you think he's your mate?" he asked curiously, his voice raising a little in excitement because mates, and he couldn't stand Zayn being so sad anymore, nothing would make Liam happier than one of his best friends finding their life companion."You're suppose to just know a person is your mate. Whenever I look at Stella I can honestly feel t in every part of my body, do you feel the same?"
    Carter was ready to drop when Zayn was introduced. His named seemed foreign to Carter, one he definitely hasn't ever heard of before but it was quite beautiful honestly and had a soft sound to it in his head as he repeated the others name inwardly. Carter has seen many attractive people before in his life, hell, Liam is quite the looker, but he's never seen someone like Zayn, his skin looked as if it was kissed by the sun gods, he had the softest looking facial hair ever, and he was tall or at least tall enough for Carter's taste, he was quite short himself at a horrible height of 153 cm(he always lies to himself and says he'll grow taller). As Stella pulled him away Carter took a quick glance behind to get another peek at Zayn, seeing him with Liam having a chat before turning back around."I know you've told me Liam's cute, and yeah he is, but why didn't you mention Zayn's fucking gorg-" Carter stops halfway through the word when he meets three other males.

    "Uh, yes and yes?" Carter says slowly, chuckling at how forward the blonde, Niall, was being. Carter was quite active, loved to play soccer and baseball, would job early in the mornings and would usually walk to any destination since he had to keep himself busy, too much energy built up in his small body and music was his life source. If he was stressed out he would quietly pluck at the strings of his guitar or play out something on his mothers grand piano. Niall lit up at his answers,"You wanna go kick a ball around?" he offered eagerly. Carter's smiled weakened,"Sorry Niall but I'm beat, I'll definitely take you up on that later though alright?" Carter offered as he squeezed Stella's hand. He was never very good at making friends, spent his high school years cooped up in the music room during lunch and keeping to himself more than anything, so giving this attempt of getting to know and be friends with Stella's new friends was a bit hard but he was willing to do it.

    Zayn thought about Liam's question, he exhaled slowly through his nose as he cleared his mind so he could truly focus on the emotions that he was feeling. His dark eyes moved over into the direction of where Carter's voice could be heard, "My heart isn't aching anymore. I don't feel sad now, I know that Carter is my mate. But how can I tell me?" He spoke softly as his attention came back onto Liam, a smile formed on his face and shone in his eyes. He hadn't smiled in that way for a good couple of months, he had already imprinted the vision of Carter in his memory. The sun was high in the sky and shone down onto Carter's back, his cooper hair was different but really made his fair skin appear pearl like. The way blood rushed to his pale cheeks and gave him a healthy glow that came from within, the flush only made him even more gorgeous. In fact, gorgeous didn't even cover Carter but Zayn was at a loss for words in how to describe Carter. Everything about him was perfect, he had never once thought another person was perfect before.

    He gave Liam a nod as they stepped into the living room where now everyone was standing, "There will be plenty of time to get to know Carter." Zayn told his friends and he found himself desperately wanting to continue speaking Carter's name, it flowed off his tongue and sounded so wonderful in his accented voice. He stopped himself, however, because that would come across as strange. "I'll show you to your room," He spoke knowing Stella would want to, but he wanted time with Carter in hopes that he'd also feel something like he did. He picked up Carter's bag once again and headed towards the large staircase, he waited until the other join him. Once Carter was beside him, he took him upstairs and down the hallway where all the bedrooms were. "This will be your room for the time being, also for anytime that you would like to visit." He spoke as he opened the door for Carter so he could enter first, he followed and inhaled the delicious scent that his mate had. A scent that he never wanted to stop smelling, setting the bag onto the bed he looked at Carter. "They can be a little much, especially Niall but they all mean well. They'll want to ask you many questions, you can settle in first and rest." Zayn told Carter as he fought back the huge urge that made him want to bring Carter into his arms.
    Stella smiled cutely at Niall and held onto Carter's hand, she returned the gentle squeeze to let him know that he was doing so well. "Let's save all the questions until a little later," She told the three betas who just looked so eager to talk with Carter, she knew that they loved meeting new people and making new friends. She rested her other hand over Carter's and leaned in closer to him, "They will love you. You're doing amazingly with them," She whispered though she didn't care if the wolves overheard her, she had already told them all that Carter was shy and didn't make friends easily. She thought if she did than they'd understand if Carter wasn't as open and friendly as she was, that it could take some time before actually becoming real friends with him. Of course no one cared and would treat him the same as everyone else they came across, though they'd like Carter more because he was best friends with Stella.

    She gave Carter a reassuring smile and she added a cheeky wink when Zayn offered to show him to his room, "Yes. That is a very good idea," If he found Zayn gorgeous than she wanted them together as much as possible, letting his hand go so he could walk over to Zayn who was waiting patiently for him. She smiled wider as she quickly stepped over to Liam and wrapped her arms around his waist, "I think those two are cute already. If only Carter was Zayn's mate, that was be so wonderful." She rested her forehead against his chin as she leaned into his warm body, "I'll cook dinner tonight for us all. I think I'll make Italian with a vanilla cake for dessert," She smiled hearing little cheers sound from mainly Niall, she leaned up on her toes and pressed a kiss to his lips. She had gotten used to not caring about who saw her kiss Liam, he was her mate after all and she always wanted to kiss him. "Will you help me?" She whispered to him knowing that he would, they always helped each other cook which was adorable to watch.

    Carter felt warm in his stomach when Stella reassured him he was doing fine and that the others would like him since he really didn't like getting on anyone's bad side not that he ever has being such a wallflower but he really didn't ever want to start. He was caught off guard when Zayn came with his bag, being kind enough to carry it for him which Carter found awfully strange since the truth was most boys don't do nice things for others boys, Carter wasn't sure why but it was sadly true. He kept a tad nervous smile on his face as he followed after Zayn, keeping a few steps behind as he wanted to take a look at the others ass because he is a horribly naughty human and he wanted to get a good look at every part of Zayn's body, admire him from afar because he sure as hell knew he wouldn't be able to closely.

    Walking into the room Carter took a quick glance at it before nodding, he didn't even care if they had him on the couch if he were truthful. He was just glad they had been kind enough to allow him to stay for two weeks till he could move into his apartment that he absolutely adored."Thanks for, uh, carrying my bag Zayn," he thanks the other as he slightly shuffles in his spot, getting a little bit fidgety since he felt so weird and giddy and bubbly inside. He was honestly hoping he wasn't developing a crush on the other, but he knew it was already too late, the second Zayn opened that bloody door Carter's heart grew twice in size and he was left craving Zayn's attention and touch."It's alright, they all seem quite nice," he said, desperately wanting to have a conversation with the other but not knowing where to start or even how to.
    Liam glanced down at Stella for a few mere moments before smiling his dopey big smile where his eyes creased. He wanted to just tell her that Zayn had a really good feeling that her best friend is indeed his mate but Liam couldn't, it wasn't his life to tell after all. Whenever Zayn felt like telling Stella, the other lads, or even Carter than he could do so but for now Liam will keep his mouth shut and continue to smile because the air felt lighter than before and things seemed to more balanced now that Zayn didn't look like he was going to cry and mope at any second, all of the lads having been worried for him the past couple of months honestly, finding your mate was quite stressful to be honest, especially the amount of time Zayn has spent. Liam had been lucky, awfully lucky by grace to have decided to go look for his mate and find her in the matter of minutes, never having felt down int he dumps of never finding her.

    Moving his attention back to her Liam nodded, as if anything else would have been expected from him. He was always quite glad to help Stella cook or do anything else, especially braid her hair since it was something he hasn't even thought he would do or enjoy so much as he honestly did. The other lads were quick to disperse and tend to whatever they had been doing before, eager for dinner just as Liam was."What do you want to make specifically? Niall and Louis went food shopping yesterday and they stocked up on everything we were running out of... and some extra stuff" Liam's voice went soft and into a murmur as he saw coconut shavings and different smaller food items that they normally would never buy since they weren't in need of it.

    Zayn knew that he didn't need to carry Carter's bag for him, but he was the guest so it felt right to him which was strange to him but he let that go. "They are, Stella hasn't stopped talking about you. She's been so excited to have you stay with us," He was fond of the brunette that had captured his friend's heart, she seemed to bring so much light and joy into the place. "If you need any help with unpacking or settling into your new apartment, we'd all be more than happy to help. What made you move here?" He asked seeing the slight shuffle Carter made in the spot he was standing, he did already know things about him from Stella but he wanted to know everything about the other. He wondered when his heart was going to break through his chest, his heart felt like it had swelled the second his eyes landed on Carter. His rib cage was getting in the way of his heart growing even larger, he was beginning to think that he was right when he told Liam that Carter could be his mate. It felt right having Carter there, looking at him and talking to him. If only he could wrap the other up in his arms and cradle him, Zayn prayed that all of that would come later.

    Suddenly he wasn't keeping an ear out for the guys which is something he was always used to, he always liked to make sure the betas weren't getting into trouble. Something they tended to do on their own quite easily, but right now his ears and eyes were completely focused on Carter. He had wondered before if he would act like Liam did with Stella, now he realised why Liam followed her and held her at any chance that he was given. He didn't want Carter out of his sight or too far away from him, he had been protective of his family and friends since he was young. But that protectiveness had increased ten fold when Carter walked into his life and into his heart.
    Stella looked at her mate noticing how wide his smile was, the smile that she loved seeing. "I'm so happy that everyone seems to really like Carter already," She smiled brightly at the man he loved more than anything else, "I was thinking something with pasta and vegetables but I might look through some of my cook books." She did enjoy cooking and baking, she had always cooked with her Mom and Grandma so she learnt so much from them and always enjoyed being in the kitchen. Now she had her own little family to cook for, "I asked them to pick up a few other items. I'm going to a few of Carter's favourite meals while he's here, if that's okay?" She asked as she normally asked the guys if they wanted a specific meal, and when she wanted to try something different than she'd tell them to make sure. Of course no one ever had a problem with what she cooked, all the food was eaten in one sitting and even baked goods never lasted very long.

    Her fingers gently rubbed Liam's lower back where her hands were resting, she did love holding Liam and knowing that he was her's and would never leave her. She rested her head on his shoulder and buried some of her face into his neck, she wanted all the guys to eventually find their mate because she couldn't imagine her life without her mate now. Liam seemed to complete her and made her life even more worth living, he was her knight in shining amour and someone she could trust completely as he would always there for her.

    Carter just had to blush at that. Stella talking about him to the others, talking to Zayn about him. He hoped she didn't him about his horrible habit of checking food to see if it was broken, his absolute disgust and hate of peeling fruits like oranges, his light snoring when he slept, open mouthed and spread everywhere, oh god, his habit of biting his knuckles raw on a daily basis. He wasn't sure what Stella would tell the others and that terrified him since he knew he had quite a bunch of weird quirks and ticks that people found ridiculous while his parents found adorable and he found horrible.

    "Oh uhm, I've received a few offers, like job stuff, and my favorite was here because it's in the city and I can, uhm, it's mostly online and at home but like," Carter stumbles over his words, getting worse with his stuttering as he goes on till he comes to a stop because he could feel his skin turning a similar color to his hair and he was blabbering without getting to the point because Zayn made him feel so nervous and unusual inside that he wasn't sure how to cope with it. Great. Ten minutes in and he was sure he put Zayn off without even meaning too, not that he had set his goal on dating the other, Carter was far too uneasy with that and would like his first anything to be his mate. He wasn't sure how he would meet the other or how he was suppose to know the other was his mate but he had a pretty good feeling deep in his bones that maybe it was Zayn? It could also just be Carter kidding himself though. Want something enough that you make yourself believe it's true.

    "A job, that's what made me move"
    "Same here Stell, he'll fit right in" Liam said with certainty, unless Carter turned out to be a complete asshole with no concept or respect and privacy then yeah, he may not fit in very well, or if he kicked puppies, then he was out the house in seconds no matter what Stella would say. Liam doubted Carter would be bad though, Stella had a good head on her shoulders and wouldn't be friends with someone horrible when she was so sweet and easy going. Picking up the bag of coconut shavings Liam balanced it on his hand before he turned around and faced her with a raised brow,"This too or is this Louis' guilty pleasure?" he asked knowing the lad loved coconuts and putting it in any sweet desserts he ate, he didn't very well care if Louis snuck it into the shopping list or not, just found it a but amusing.

    "That's fine by me," Liam murmured as he placed the bag down and curls his hands around her hips, gently digging his fingers into the material of her over sized sweater that was soft beneath his finger tips."Are we going to stay lovingly into each others eyes while the house starves to death?" he asked jokingly, leaning in to press a kiss against the top of her head. "Think I may just die with the other lads if we don't get a move on" he murmured, closing his eyes and moving his arms to wrap entirely around her, her small frame snuggly fitting against him. He wouldn't mind just standing in the middle of the kitchen for longer but he was sure Carter would be hungry from his travels and it was going to be time for their normal dinner soon anyways which meant a bunch of hungry wolves.

    Zayn simply stood there and listened as Carter blabbed on and on, something he found extremely adorable and proved to him that Carter was someone he would like to know even if he wasn't his mate. He has dealt with both guys and girls asking him out on dates and trying so desperately to impress him, he had never liked when people tried so hard. So when Carter blushed a bright crimson and stumbled over his words, it was like this was all a big sign to Zayn. A sign that slapped him across the face and yelled at him that Carter was his mate, a sign that he was definitely going to be listening to and paying attention to. "That's great, I love staying in and being on my laptop." He told the other honestly, he was often found somewhere around the house with his laptop open and his attention completely captured about something he was looking at or searching for. That or he was in his room or outside doing some kind of art, he may be a werewolf but he didn't consider his life overly exciting.

    He liked that Carter had a job, he had seen a few human mates just live off their werewolf and it just seemed wrong. Unless there was a very good reason for it, Stella had a job at a popular cafe which Liam often drove her to and picked her up. Hell, sometimes Liam would stay at the cafe all day just so he'd be close to his mate. Maybe Zayn could do that as well, he would love to paint or draw Carter with a full face of concentration and determination. "Stella hasn't told us much, you have nothing to worry about." He smiled easily as his dark eyes stayed focused on the copper haired boy, "What do you do in your free time?" He asked the simple question but he was still very interested in hearing the answer.
    Stella glanced at the bag of coconut shavings, "A little bit of both. I promised Louis last week, that I'd make him a coconut dessert." She admitted to him and she had been busy searching for the perfect recipe to true, she was considering making a cheesecake but she wasn't sure just yet. She shook her head, "I'd never let you die of anything. I'd feed you," She smiled at him and giggled softly when she was wrapped up in his protective arms, she loved how their bodies fitted so well together. They were like puzzle pieces that only joined together and no one else, "But yes I'll start on dinner. Could you boil up the usual vegetables please?" She asked him as she knew exactly what vegetables the wolves liked and didn't like, there were plenty in the crisper in the fridge and she tended to serve the same ones with similar dishes.

    She tried walking into the pantry but couldn't with Liam holding onto her, "I thought everyone was dying" She teased him and pressed a kiss to the delicate skin of his neck, once his arms loosened around her body she did step into the pantry. She found everything she needed for a delicious pasta meal, she begun to boil the water to cook the pasta and heated a pan so she could cook off a few herbs and a few bits and pieces.

    (So sorry for the crappy reply, I'm so tired but wanted to give you something. I hope that I gave you enough to work off.)

    Carter smiled slowly at Zayn's words, he didn't think the other would find it so great once he found out what Carter exactly did online. He did basic website making to creating personalized firewall protection to hacking into companies(who asked him too) to see if it would be easy for someone to break through, then he did some encrypt work, he basically sat around typing numbers and codes for a living which he honestly enjoyed more than someone would think. He loved math and had always enjoyed being on the computer and learning html codes, now he put it into his living. Carter wasn't very exciting, if he listed off his interest one would definitely label him as boring but the thing was he liked living a very simple life and not jumping out of planes and doing the rickshaw race.

    Feeling rather uncomfortable under Zayn's gaze Carter made it a point to not look at the other in the eyes or his face in general, instead he focused on the bed sheets."I knit, sometimes yoga or fifa" he says slowly. There is absolutely no reason for Carter to lie about any part of his life or himself and so he won't, he wasn't going to say he loved going out to bars and doing body shots or that he spent his free time being an extrovert because he didn't. He was usually at home knitting a jumper, cardigan, socks, everything and anything, baking little treats, and sleeping, god did he love sleeping."What about you?" he asked, shifting to sit on the bed so it wont be weird of them to be standing around the room. He wasn't sure why the other was speaking to him but he was going to bathe in the attention for as long as he could because it set something warm in his heart.
    Liam didn't even know what sort of coconut dessert Stella was to make for Louis but he did know that he wanted some already. Stella was a really good cook which was great because then Liam and Harry didn't have to be the ones working themselves over the stove to feed the entire group anymore, if anything they all took turns and often helped one another out, Niall started to learn how to cook as well and Louis took mild interest when desserts were involved. Liam was sure that if Stella wasn't here, wasn't so bubbly and friendly then Louis and Niall wouldn't step into the kitchen unless it was for a quick and easy meal like mac and cheese or a fry up that wouldn't take loner than the usual ten minutes.

    Pulling away from Stella with a pout Liam playfully huffs before he goes into the fridge and takes out all of their usual vegetables, placing them on a wooden board before putting some water to boil. The house was rather quiet, though a few grunts and cheers from the outside filtered in through the opened back door, but besides that Liam couldn't pick up on anything, couldn't hear Zayn or Carter coming back which he wasn't sure was a good or bad thing."There's an ice skating rink just about an hour from here that opened up recently, indoors and really big, Harry's been dying to go and so has Louis, made plans to go tonight or this weekend, would you like to come? I still need to ask Niall and Zayn, maybe you could get Carter to come if it's his thing." Liam offered, always having planned an outing with one or the other lad and trying to get everyone to go because he hated the thought of leaving anyone behind.

    Zayn felt relived when Carter told him the hobbies he had, he was worried that they wouldn't suit each other. Sure, he could play a game of soccer or whatever other ball sport that the guys felt like and he did do things outside. But he was much more happy and comfortable being at home, he watched as the other sat down on the bed so he pulled out the chair at the desk and sat down on it. He was suddenly doubting himself, what if he wasn't good enough or exciting enough for Carter? The thought of lying did close his mind but was quickly ignored as he couldn't lie to his mate, no matter if it were only to make him appear cooler than what he really was. He didn't have all that many hobbies, which made him feel like a loser. "Well I like playing video games, doing art and making music." He spoke as his eyes moved down to focus on the floor, he was waiting for Cater to laugh at him or say how boring he was. He had tried so many other things in his life, he had tried hiking and gardening and more hobbies but nothing ever captured his heart.

    There were a few things that he hadn't tried yet and that he found interesting, he hadn't thought to try knitting or yoga. He wasn't sure how good he'd be at either of them, he wasn't very graceful or flexible to do yoga but he could sit back and knit if he was taught how to. He had mainly thought about trying different types of art, like sculptures and oil painting. He just hadn't gotten around to doing so yet.
    "No pouting baby," Stella smiled warmly as she leaned up and pressed a quick kiss to his pouty lips, she loved cooking for her new friends because they were always so happy when they ate her food. Seeing how quickly the food went and the empty plates, it gave her so much joy and happiness. She was tending to the hot pan when she looked over at Liam, "Oh... I've never been ice skating before, I don't know how to skate but it sounds like a lot of fun. I'll ask Carter and if he's not too tired, than we could all go tonight." She suggested as it would give her another reason to have Liam hold her and show her how to skate, she wasn't the most clumpy person but she had her moments like everyone else. She wasn't worried about falling in front of people, she just didn't know how good she'd actually be on ice.

    She knew how much Liam liked doing something with all of his friends, he was someone who wanted the people he cared about to be happy and to have a good time. If someone was left out, he would do whatever he could to have them join in or for the group to change to something else. She loved that about him, apart from when he tried to give her a go at playing playing games when the guys were. She was horrible at them and was more happy just watching.

    Carter perked up at the mention of music and art. He wasn't the most creative of people, was quite basic and simplistic if anything but he did love music and art with his entire heart and could go on for hours about the importance of their histories and which famous artist was truly the creator of certain works. He didn't do much art himself, as he preferred to study and appreciate it rather than create anything although music he preferred to be hands on with. If his new apartment had just enough space he would have brought his favorite baby grand piano but honestly he wasn't even going to be able to fit a couch in there so he would have to settle with piano keyboard and guitars for now.

    "That sounds like a good pass time" Carter said, glancing over at the other with a honest smile on his face, small and private. He wasn't going to lie, he liked Zayn a lot already, it sort of came over him all in the matter of seconds the other opened the door and their eyes meet. A wave crashed over him and leaving him damp with emotions and desire. He wanted to ask so many questions, 'whats your favorite art medium?', 'do you play any instruments?', 'Whose you're favorite music artist?', and piles and piles more but he didn't want to seem nosey or clearly interested in the other, he didn't want to put Zayn off basically so instead Carter smiled a little bigger,"Introvert, huh? Same"
    Stella's kisses always made things better, even when things were doing just fine and going good a kiss could list Liam's spirit and have him smiling like a doofus till his cheeks hurt too much to continue. Often when they showed public affection the others would tease them a little but, nothing mean and everything harmless and it eased Liam the same because he was glad that the lads were comfortable with how he and Stella treated each other publicly, no restraints. Slicing the vegetables on the wooden cutting board Liam finished them off before dumping them into the boiling water and lowering the flame below.

    "Wait are you serious?" Liam asked a little bewildered. Ice skating was a huge thing for the group when winter came around or they went into the city and visited the large outdoors skating rink, always a bunch of fun and never a dull moment. He couldn't imagine living his life without having ever went ice skating, he could remember being six or seven and going out with his family to skate on ice, having his tenth birthday in a ice skating rink, taking hockey lessons for a very short amount of time before he quit because of how violent it could get but loving the time on the ice he got."I'll make sure to show you the ropes. It's a lot of fun, specially when Harry needs the railing to skate even after so many years" everyone knew Harry was made up of very long loopy limbs an unstable legs, he was always stumbling or tripping over nothing and it made for good comedy more often than not. "heard they have a food court there as well, more than likely have hot chocolate too"

    Zayn looked up from the floor and gave Carter a small but kind smile, he really didn't know what he was worrying about. Having a mate would always have someone there who had the same interests, he had never heard of mates not getting along because they were too different. It didn't work that way and Zayn knew that, "Yeah I am. I mean I do go outside with the guys and kick a ball around, or I'll go into the backyard and do some paintings of the view. But that's about it really," He had spent much more time outside when he was a child but that was different, kids played outside and that was natural. Now he had other interests in his life than playing with other kids his age, "So do you have furniture and stuff for your apartment?" He asked not minding if Carter wanted to go shopping with him, if he needed to buy anything. He wanted to spend as much time with the other as he could, that wouldn't be hard considering Carter would be staying there with them for the next two weeks.

    But he wanted to be with the other outside of the house, he wanted to do something and have Carter there. Even if it was going to a cafe or going to lunch, though that was something to ask later on and not after half an hour of knowing him. He admired Carter's facial structure although not for very long as that could seem creepy, but long enough for him to know that he wanted to sketch and paint Carter. Which is another thing he'll ask later on once they get to know each other more.
    Stella nodded her head lightly as she opened a packet of mince and begun to cook that with the herbs and spices, she looked back at Liam with her big brown eyes. "Yeah, no one ever took me." She shrugged her shoulders lightly, her single mother didn't really have the time to take her anywhere. She worked two jobs through all of Stella's childhood after her father pissed off at the pregnant word, he never wrote to Stella and somehow got off from paying child support. She didn't really do much although her grandparents tried their best when they babysat her, which was a lot. She went to parks a lot and helped her grandpa in the garden, she did crafts with her grandma. She only had birthdays at her grandparents house with a homemade cake that was covered in whipped cream, chocolate shavings and strawberries.

    That was normal to her and still is, "Are you sure you'll help me? I don't want to be gripping onto the railing like Harry," She told him as she moved the mince around the pan and once it was mostly cooked, she went to pour a jar of sauce into the pan. Though she had to give the jar to Liam first so he could open it for her, while he unscrewed the lid for her she checked on the cooking vegetables. She loved having a partner in the kitchen because it was more fun, sometimes she gave Liam a break and brought in one of the other guys.

    "Oh uhm, not really everything," Carter answered with a shrug, he came with just a duffel bag in hand and his debit card. He didn't want to bring to much since it'll be a lot of work for him to move and so he figured he would start with buying his house necessities during the next two weeks and them some when he was finally moved in. "I've bought a bed and frame, and like that drawer thing for clothes, and like it'll be delivered on the day of my move in but," Carter shrugged slowly, he was starting to get nervous again from speaking so much, and he knew he was going to start rambling so he tried to keep his words short,"Gonna buy the rest of the stuff online," he settled with, his smile turning shy. "Malls are kinda big and crowded you know? Kinda scary"

    He would have liked to gone to the mall and stores to buy his furniture and everything else but he was so nervous and anxious and the thought of being crowded inside of a mall scared the life out of him. He would go if he had someone to come with him but he didn't want to take Stella away too much and he was always scared of asking. "Planning on getting a little buddy to keep my company," he mumbled, figuring Zayn would still hear him. Carter was hoping to adopt an animal from the shelter, he wasn't going to be fussy as any dog would suffice. Back home he was always by animals because of the family farm and he couldn't live unless he had a furry companion.
    Liam couldn't stop himself from snorting,"I'm sure I will help you, Harry knows how to skate mentally but his legs don't seem to listen to him, broke his arm once before," Liam stated as he turned around and leaned against the counter so he could watch Stella move around the kitchen with the other part of the food. He would't let Stella fall or hurt herself, well perhaps she may fall since it's honestly a bit tricky to get the hang of it at first but he was going to make sure she didn't hurt herself. Liam would most likely be pressed against her the entire time like a grisly bear protecting her cubs. Taking the jar from Stella he unscrewed it before going over and placing it on the counter beside of her,"Smells good already" Liam smiled as he went over to the mince and took a peek at it, he was tempted to eat some of it now but he knew it wasn't cooked and he didn't want to creep Stella out by eating slightly raw meat.

    "Kinda feels like you're flying once you get the hang of it, Niall's a little shit and he can actually do those really cool turns where you're in the air for a little bit" He shared with a laugh, Niall had to be the best skater of them all, surprisingly graceful on ice and he was the type to take risk and not be afraid to jump around and do those flips that professional ice skaters did on the television. He was hoping that they could go tonight, it was new and would possibly be a bit busy but it was far larger than any normal skating rink and had not one, but two of them indoors for people to actually have lots of space to have fun.

    Zayn did understand what Carter meant about the mall, he wasn't a fan of crowds but could deal with them if he needed. But he just didn't really like going to the mall at all, he did most of his shopping online and that was only when he was in desperate need of clothes. He tended to wear clothing until holes appeared and only than would be buy more, it was rare that anyone actually got him into a mall. "It can be quite scary, all those people and I find people accidently get in my way at the wrong times." He always made a plan on the occasion that he did go into a mall, he wanted to go in and get out as quickly as he could. He didn't window shop or take his time, meaning other people tended to slow him down as he acted like he was on a mission. "If you would like to go into the stores and check furniture out, I'd go with you or I'm sure Stella would." He offered knowing he'd feel better if he went with Carter, neither of them would take ages and it would give them time to spend together.

    "You are? I have always loved animals, I only had a few family pets but I loved them all." He smiled fondly at the memories he had of the family pets, his family had a dog, a hamster and a cat. All got along really well and it gave him and his sisters something to take care of from a young age, it gave them a lot of lessons about life which helped shaped Zayn into the young man that he was now. "Did you grow up with animals? Stella did mention you lived on a farm but that was all she said," He told the other as he loved the idea of growing up on a farm, having animals around and growing your own food.
    Stella's eyebrows moved together in slight worry when she heard about Harry's broken arm, although he would have heals quicker than humans and she already knew about a few other injuries the wolves have gotten over the years. But she could see her being the one who falls onto the hard ice and hurting herself, though she knew Liam would never let her actually hurt herself. "Thank you, it shouldn't be long now. So maybe you could set the table and have everyone clean up," She asked him sweetly knowing he was tempted to taste the mince mixture before it was fully cooked, she wouldn't have watched him if he had tasted a little though she wouldn't have said anything as a little half raw mince wouldn't do anything to him. She lifted the pot of boiling water and drained the water from the vegetables, she tossed the vegetables into the mince mixture and poured the sauce over the top. She stirred the sauce so it coated everything and let it simmer together.

    She drained the pasta and glanced over her shoulder at Liam, "I'm sure everyone will want to go tonight. I'd like to watch Niall and see how good he is," She smiled as she poured the sauce and mince over the pasta which she had placed in a large bowl, she coated everything together and pulled out the parmesan cheese from the fridge and carried it all over to the table. She brought over drinks and set them down in front of each plate, she found some crusty bread and set it beside the pasta.

    Carter's life revolved around being on his laptop now. He would have dropped out of public school and attended online classes if it wasn't for Stella being there everyday and making him feel like he was safe and wasn't on the brink of a anxiety attack every class. Now that he was out of school he felt so much happier with himself, felt like he could actually breathe. Picking his head up Carter made a small, appreciative noise. Sure he didn't know Zayn very well, but he felt like he could trust him the same way he trust Stella, which was a big thing for Carter. He's never felt so drawn and comfortable with someone before in his life and so quickly at that. "I-I'd like that, uhm, going to the stores, like, with you" he says with a hint of eagerness in his voice.
    "Niall will literally sweep you off your feet with his skates on" Liam said in the most serious tone he could, he wasn't joking either. Niall was grace on ice, though mishap on land. Moving away from the mince before he ended up eating a bit of it Liam listened to Stella and left the kitchen so he could gather up everyone for dinner. Stepping outside Liam watched Louis steals the ball from Harry in two swift movements before he spoke up and announced that dinner was going to be ready in just a minute and that they ought to get inside if they wanted to eat it hot. Harry sighed heavy and made his way quick inside since he was clearly being beaten and any way to get out of the game was good for him.

    Letting Niall and Louis go for their final 'round' Liam turned away and headed up the steps, using his hearing to locate where Carter and Zayn may be at. He gave the guest room a gentle knock before he pushed the door open and poked his head in,"Hey, dinners is ready" he told the two, glancing from Zayn's face to Carter's before he smirked a little knowingly and closed the door. He wasn't going to interfere or anything, he knew his place, and was rather excited for Zayn, would be more excited once Zayn's marking will show up if those two really were mates. Stella's name was soft and sweet on his chest, something far more permanent than a tattoo. Heading back down the steps he could see Niall already setting up the table while Louis rips up napkins and tosses them at Niall, Harry helping Stella out in the kitchen by bringing the glasses and drinks. Liam went over to the table and made himself comfortable at his usual seat.
    Fidgeting with the hem off his jacket Carter stayed quiet as Liam closed the door. He wasn't very hungry as his mother had him eat three times the normal amount her would during breakfast so he could 'have energy for the long trip ahead', though all it did was tire him out and make him want to sleep. He was still going to eat the food here though, not wanting to seem rude as long as it was within his animal free llifestyle. "Yeah, on a farm I grew up, uhm, lots of horses and chickens, kinda loud at night honestly, but now I can sleep through a concert if I want" Carter joked lightly as he stood from the bed and took his jacket off, tossing it onto the sheets before heading towards the door. His top was baggy and loose on him, a pale teal that went well with his ginger hair.

    Zayn didn't think that taking Carter to the mall was a big deal, he didn't like going himself but if one of the guys was there with him than he felt so much better about the whole thing. So offering himself to the other was just something he'd hope his friends would do for him whenever he needed it. "It's not problem at all," Carter didn't need to thank him, he really didn't because if his mate was going somewhere he didn't like. Zayn wasn't going to stand back and let Carter worry about it, he'd be there at his side if he needed a reassuring touch or to see what couch was the most comfortable.

    His head turned and nodded lightly when Liam told them both that dinner was ready, he stood up and followed Carter through the door. He shut the door behind him not knowing if Carter liked his privacy or not, "I would love to live on a farm. I've thought about buying some animals and building a farm in the back yard," He smiled as Stella had already started a large garden with mostly vegetables, though she had just recently planted a few fruit trees that he was excited to watch grow. "I've always been a deep sleeper, not much can wake me unless I'm shook." He had always been a good sleeper which he hoped never changed, he walked back downstairs with Carter and really loved the teal colour on him. Though he'd honestly love anything that Carter wore, "This smells delicious." He commented when he saw the feast that was waiting on the table for everyone.
    Stella stood at her seat that was beside Liam and Harry, she stepped over to Carter once he had arrived with Zayn. She kissed his cheek softly, "If you aren't hungry than I can keep some for tomorrow." She whispered to her best friend knowing how his mother would have filled him up with food for the drive, she wasn't going to force Carter to eat even if the mince was vegan so he could happily eat the meal. She hadn't yet told anyone about the mince as she wanted to see if any of the wolves could tell, she hoped they couldn't because she loved having everyone together for meals. She let him sit at the table with Zayn and took her own seat, "Everyone help yourselves." She smiled even though she didn't need to say anything, she knew the wolves would like they always did.

    She waited as the food was passed around the table, she put a small amount on her plate as she didn't really eat all that much before handing the bowl to Harry. "So Liam and I were talking, we were wondering if anyone wanted to go ice skating tonight?" She asked as her eyes moved around the table, Niall and Harry were the first ones to say yes. Louis thought for a second before nodding his head and making a comment about Harry not having a good day, after losing the soccer game and now he was going ice skating. "What about you, Carter?" She asked in her sweet voice, knowing he'd be tired after the drive but she wasn't not going to ask him.

    Carter shook his head at Stella, he was going to eat even if it was a small amount. He was better left full than not since he got rather grumpy and annoyed when he wasn't bloated and sleepy from eating so much. The food smelled really good as well and he didn't want to miss out on something just cooked and hot. Taking the empty seat available beside of Zayn Carter slid into the seat and fiddled with his fingers, watching the group in front of him pass around different bowls filled with vegetables and other different foods.The group was awfully nice, much nicer than Carter would have thought them to be. Liam was attached to Stella by the hip it seemed, completely infatuated by her. Harry was trying to tell a knock knock joke to Louis who kept saying 'I don't wanna hear it Haz' which didn't deter the other, Niall laughing at the two as he scooped up food onto his plate, a big heap Carter was surprised the other could even managed.

    As a bowl came around Carter filled his plate with just a small amount he was sure he would be able to eat,"Oh, uhm, I-" Carter shrugged slowly,"Don't really, wanna, uh, go, sorry" he told her quietly. Going out? With the entire group? Publicly? Where there was more than likely a lot of people to be at, skating and bumping into others, Carter would rather not. Turning to Zayn Carter held out the large bowl filled with vegetables.
    Liam wasn't at all surprised by Niall and Harry both being excited and agreed to attend, Louis coming around too because the other didn't like being left out of group things at all, would throw a pissy fit if he was and would demand them all to make it up to him. Taking the bowl of mixed mince he took a couple of big spoonfuls onto his plate before passing the bowl off to the next person, his thick brows furrowing when Carter denied the invitation. Stella has told them that Carter was rather shy so he wasn't going to pout but Niall on the other hand was pouting,"Why not? It'll be a lot of fun mate," Niall said as he poured ketchup over his food,"If you can't skate I could teach you, I'm the bestest"

    "Niall that's not even a real word"

    "How would you know Harry? Shut it, I say it is now"

    "Guys" Liam said in a warning tone though it did nothing as Harry and Niall gave each other little looks as if the other was to speak there was going to be flying mince and then a whole lot of mess. Liam was tempted to stop Niall and Harry from getting tense but he decided that no, if they wanted to start a fight then they could, he wasn't going to try and make the group seem normal when they were far from that. Knocking his elbow with Stella's Liam sent her a 'look' that just read 'i can't believe these are our friends' before he broke into a smile.

    Zayn gave Carter a small smile as he took the bowl from him and piled food onto his plate, it wasn't surprising to him when Carter passed on chance to go ice skating. "I'm not really in the mood, I might just stay here but I'll go next time." He told Stella even though he knew Liam liked to have the whole group together, but he wasn't going to give up the chance to spend more time with Carter and this time they'd be completely alone. He had seen times when Stella didn't want to do something and a few times Liam would stay with here with her, it was much easier to have nice intimate moments when no one else was around. Because depending on where a wolf was, their hearing could possibly pick up what was being said or done when it was meant to be private.

    He shook his head slightly as he watched the looked that both Niall and Harry were giving each other across the table, this wasn't unusual for them however and it would be something that Carter would be seeing a lot in his stay. It'd be something he'd have to get used to, there was no point in stopping the wolves because it would just happen another time. He took a large mouthful of mouth and his taste buds went to heaven like normal when Stella cooked for them all. He could watch a movie with Carter and just talk to him more, they'd find something to do. Even if Carter wanted some space or fell asleep early, Zayn would either get some house work done or he'd do some art.
    Stella nodded and smiled at Carter as she had expected his answer to be no, but she always offered him things just in case one day he changed his mind. "That's okay," She assured her best friend before turning to look at Liam when she felt his nudge, she smiled seeing the look he was giving her and she did know what she meant. The wolves could get this way a lot but she wouldn't change anything, she reached across under the table and gave his knee a little squeeze to let him know that she agreed with him. "We'll all have to do something together though, something where not many people are." She spoke in hopes it would keep Niall and Harry from starting anything, Stella liked people but even she didn't overly like being surrounded by heaps of people.
