Chapter 3 - Leaving White Raven

The past few days flew by for Jasmine, Brandie, and their mates. Dominick had made sure the men had rooms on a different floor than his daughters. He also had one of his warriors standing guard at night to ensure everyone stayed in their rooms. Dominick was more concerned about his daughters trying to get to their mates than the other way around.

Kaleigh had laughed and reminded him of their first night together. Dominick didn't care. He knew how hard it had been to restrain himself. Jasmine and Brandie kept telling him they were adults and would be leaving with their mates.

Dominick reminded them that they would follow his rules while under his roof. He also told them how much he and Kaleigh appreciated their time together before mating. They begrudgingly agreed to do as he said. Titus and Aaron were so happy to have found their mates that they would have done whatever Dominick said.

Dominick's heart was aching as he watched the girls out the window putting their luggage into the truck that would take them to the airport. He was going to miss his daughters. He felt Kaleigh come up behind him, wrapping her arms around him as she watched out the window.

"They will be alright, Dom. I know they'll be far away from us, but it will be good for them. They have each other and their mates." Dominick sighed.

"I know, Kaleigh, but it's hard letting them go when I still see them as little pups with pigtails. I think their mates are good men. During my time with them, they were very clear-headed and intelligent. Jasmine and Brandie will be happy with them, but right now, I'm the one that's not happy. I don't like to admit they are grown up."

The young people outside were in good spirits and laughing. Logan and Chase were out there helping as well. Kaleigh knew the boys would miss their sisters even if they didn't want to admit it.

"I know, Dominick, I don't like it either. My only hope is that they are happy and safe. Are you ready to go outside and see them off?" Kaleigh felt a knot in her throat at telling them goodbye. She saw Alannah and Dillon go out, and the girls ran to them.

"Yes, let's go see them before they leave." Dominick put his arm around his mate as they walked toward the front door. As they went outside, Brandie and Jasmine were hugging their grandparents with tears in their eyes. Dillon, like Dominick, was grumpy about the girls leaving.

"Grandpa, you can come and visit us any time you want. You still have the boys here to keep you company and our cousins up north." Jasmine didn't like seeing her grandpa sad. Dillon didn't say anything but grunted under his breath.

"Honey, you two were our first grandpups. It's hard for us to see you go." Alannah smiled at Jasmine and Brandie before hugging them both tightly. She was sad too, but she was happy they had found their mates.

"Mom, dad, you finally came outside. We thought we would have to come and hunt you down, so we don't miss our flight." Brandie said before going up to her parents. She was excited to be leaving with Titus, but she would miss her family. Jasmine followed her over to them.

"Girls, you take care of yourselves, and if you need anything, please let us know. You're just a plane ride away. I love you both." Kaleigh hugged both of her daughters as she felt her eyes fill with tears.

"Mom, please promise you guys will come and visit us in Montana." Jasmine and Brandie were crying too.

"We will, girls. We want to come for your commitment ceremonies so let us know once you have set the dates, okay?" The twins nodded.

Dominick walked over to the three women with a heavy heart. He didn't say anything as he approached. He wrapped his arms around Jasmine and Brandie holding them against his chest.

"I love you. If your mates or anyone in your pack gives you trouble, you tell me because it will be the last time you have a problem." Dominick was almost whispering. He was having a hard time telling them goodbye.

"We will, dad, but I think we'll be okay." Brandie squeezed her dad.

As Dominick finally let them go, he walked over to their mates, who had been waiting by the truck. He liked the two young men and could tell they were crazy about his daughters.

"Alpha Aaron and Beta Titus, I expect you to take good care of Jasmine and Brandie. If I hear that one hair on either of their heads has been hurt or they shed even one tear in pain, you will have to answer to me. Do I make myself clear?" Dominick looked them each in the eye.

"Yes, sir. We won't let any harm come to either of them." Alpha Aaron spoke confidently, and Beta Titus nodded his agreement.

"Good. Now come on over here. You're part of our family now." Dominick embraced each of the young men as he would his sons. He had a good feeling about them.

Kaleigh walked over and hugged her daughter's mates as well. They all said their final goodbyes, and then they were off to the airport. It would be about a two-hour drive to Reno and then a four-hour flight to Montana.

Aaron and Titus held their mates as they cried on the way to the airport. They were happy to be taking them to their pack, but they understood how hard it was for them to leave their family.

When they got to the airport, the girls had cried themselves out and were excited to get on the plane. Jasmine and Brandie hadn't had many opportunities to fly.

Aaron couldn't stop smiling, thinking about making Jasmine his Luna. His parents and pack were going to love her. It was even more exciting to think that Titus was mated to her sister. Neither of them had told their families they had found their mates. They had decided to let it be a surprise.

Titus was staring at Brandie with a grin just like Aaron was staring at his mate. He was glad that Aaron had mated to Jasmine. It made taking the girls far away easier, so at least they would have each other.

Titus was still awestruck that Brandie was his mate. In the few days they had spent with them at White Raven, he had seen how amazing she was. Not only was she beautiful, but she was strong, smart, and independent.

He reached over and took her hand, wanting to touch her. Titus was a little nervous about taking her to their pack. Not because he thought anyone would give her trouble, but because he knew she was ready to mate with him. Titus didn't have a whole lot of experience in that department. Even though he knew she was a virgin, he wanted her first time to be special.

They had stopped in front of the airport, and the four of them got out of the truck. After checking their luggage, they went to find their terminal to board the plane. Aaron and Titus were well aware of the men admiring their mates, and they held on to them tighter. Neither of the twins paid any attention.

When they finally boarded the plane, the men had gotten first-class seats to sit with their mates, and the girls squealed with excitement. Jasmine and Brandie sat by the windows so they could look out as they flew to Montana.

After they landed and were leaving the airport, the girls were amazed at their surroundings. It was wide open and green everywhere. Everything was different from what they were used to, but it was beautiful.

Jasmine and Brandie were excited to get to the pack and meet everyone. Aaron and Titus had told them a lot about their new home, but nothing compared to seeing it in person.

Several people were waiting for them when they pulled up to the packhouse. Jasmine and Brandie felt their first wave of nervousness. They knew their mates had not told the pack about them, but now they were thinking maybe they should have.

As they got out with the help of their mates, they heard everyone gasp in surprise. They all stared at the beautiful twins in front of them and wondered what was happening. Aaron smiled at those waiting for an explanation.

"Dad, mom, pack members. Titus and I went to California to go to the birthday ball for the hybrid twins. We were the ones that got a surprise, though. I am pleased to introduce my mate Jasmine and her sister Brandie who is mated to Beta Titus."

The pack members stared in disbelief but soon got over their shock and started cheering. Jasmine and Brandie both blushed from the warm welcome they were receiving. Pack members came over and introduced themselves to the twins. Titus and Aaron had their arms around their mates possessively.

"Aaron, why didn't you tell us you found your mates while at White Raven?" Jasmine and Brandie turned around to the older couple approaching them. The man was tall with blonde hair like Aaron, tan skin, and blue eyes. The woman was of average height with long dark brown hair and hazel eyes. Both of them had warm smiles, and the girls relaxed immediately.

"Dad, we thought it would be better to surprise everyone. Jasmine, Brandie, this is my dad Jacob and my mom Heidi." Aaron's parents walked over to the twins and reached their hands out.

"It's so nice to meet the daughters of Kaleigh and Dominick. We have heard so many wonderful things about your parents, and we're delighted that you will both be joining our pack. Welcome to Fallen Eagle." Heidi turned around and spread her arms toward the packhouse.

"Thank you, ma'am. It's nice to meet you both, and we're glad to be here. Aaron and Titus have told us a lot about your pack, and we're impressed with the diversity of shifters you have here. We can't wait to meet everyone." Jasmine smiled at Heidi and Jacob.

As the group headed to the packhouse to begin introductions, someone was in the shadows watching. Now that the twins had arrived, they could start preparations.
