Chapter 3

I wish I could say I am more excited about this party that ros and Eris are planning but I am not. I keep worrying about what if I find my mate and he's a total douche canoe what then? I can't reject him and he can't reject me without a really good fucking reason. I have this strong feeling my sister and I had been meant to be my brother's guard. Why else would the messenger need sisters who one has some control over chaos then ass my sister can make you feel discord and confusion with her push whereas I relish in the violent bloody fights. The more vicious it is the better. Once when we were I want to say around five we ran out to meet father while he was training with some of the top warriors. The young wolf tried to sneak and got his paw caught in a gopher hole. His leg and ankle snapped the bone shot through his thick skin. The blood and pain of it called to me. I couldn’t stop myself as I started to drift to the hurt wolf.

My father scooped me up as I tried to get to the bleeding wolf. I could feel the need to be near it. As he walks away I started to feel the need less. So father had a bracelet made by one of the covens nearby. It was cast on me so it could never be removed. When I shift it sinks below the surface of my skin. The thing itches and burns a little when the fabric slips or needs to be replaced. Why the burn well to bind the spell they had to use a metal that weakens my defense so the spell could seep in. So trace amounts of silver are in the bracelet. Father told me once this Ambrose guy is well enough he will help more with control and whatnot. Once one of the nannies father had for us asked why he doesn't just take us to see alpha Apollo. That was the last we saw of that nanny. Why? We do not talk about the alpha of alphas or the winters. Once our packs were close well okay the black rose was under contract and small spells to the winters. It was my mother and father that broke those spells. When we asked about how they met my father always said their meeting was a horror movie. And that's all he will say.

Ros and Eris have been planning this day since we all turned sixteen. Having only been minutes apart we all shifted at the same time. Kaleb and I are much bigger wolves than Eris and ros but they were both not small either. Well, what do you expect from alpha and delta? Kaleb and ros are not just the delta’s pups but they are family as well. My father and their father grew up as brothers. Granted they are cousins by blood so that makes us cousins by blood. They lost their mother when she was giving birth to them so we four grew close. We all grew close as we are all the next leaders but when uncle hunter and uncle will lost aunt autumn a few minutes after rosemary took her first breath it had been hard on them so they moved in with us. Uncle will and uncle hunter took uncle will's old room my sister and I got the room our aunts had before they disappeared Kaleb got my father's teenage room and ros was given the room wills mother Eydra had. Yes, we have a lot of rooms in the alpha sweet and that's because well the alpha has always needed extra hands around. Our pack has a long, long of losing our Luna's at some point. my grandfather's alpha William's tale is my favorite and most heartbreaking.

Curled up in the back of the library with headphones in watching some comedy special hiding from the tyrants. I should have known I was not safe I should have known twin powers are real. I should have known the dictators would not leave me out of their plans. What I had done was let my guard down and thought I was safe in the last place those two would ever be. And that their folks were my first problem. I should have known my sister would know how to find me. I was saved by a link from my father just as my sister found me. “Enoy my office now” well shit that does not sound good. Jumping up I smack right into Eris. “ouch bitch” “sorry sorry oh I can't help with streamers sorry dad linked gotta go.” I make my way to the door slowly taking off when I reach the door. Her frustrated growl follows me down the hall. “he won't always be able to save you.” she links “ya but soon ill be alpha and I can ship you off to find your mate” I chuckle in the link “stop teasing your sister and Eris come to.” fathers voice fills my head. Well, there goes getting out helping her.

Coming to the office the room is full of old alphas. Okay, not old my father's age and older. Looks like an alpha meeting but one is not scheduled. What is this? Looking around. “awe here is Eris now she will show you all to your suites and see that your sons know where to go when they arrive.” the father says to the five alphas sitting in his office. Eris nods and elbows me. Snapping my eyes at her I glare. Just because she feels the need to bow to them does not mean I do. And I don’t. I can feel deep down in me I could beat all of these alphas. “stop trying to make me submit I am the next alpha remember that sister” she glares back but nods. As much as it sounds like we have the worst relationship we don’t. we are very close but two different people. We are very similar and if I was not the next alpha I think we would be even more similar. But I am an alpha so where she feels the need to submit I feel the need dominant. But just because my sister bows to the uppers do not mean she respects them. We both have a very entitled sense of something I just can't put my figure on. We are stronger together but we know we won't be in the same pack once we are mated. A lot of times twins share a mate. But for as long as we can remember we have known we will not be in the same pack as adults. We will be close to each other as we are best friends and we feed off each other's gifts. This was another reason we were sure we wouldn't be in the same pack. I dought the goddess would give one pack that much power.

Once they are gone my father looks at me with sad eyes “Enoy I hate to do this to you and Kaleb but I need you guys to go visit the snowpack. We got word they are having a rogue problem and when I called to find out more no one answered the phone. Emails are not being replied to just out of the character for them. You will leave tomorrow I know the party is in three days but we need to figure out what's going on. When I got their email I knew had to be bad as they would have contacted the winters first. So if they are not helping it's up to us. The snowpack has never been a threat to anyone so I want you four to figure out what is going on. Take a team with you say ten to fifteen warriors. Your leave at daybreak.” “yes alpha” this was business, not father-daughter. Linking max jasmine and Kaleb to meet me in my room my stomach sinks. How do I tell my sister and ros we won't be here for the party or them maybe finding mates?
