2-The Girls

Sara’s POV

I read that love feels like falling. I can’t wait to fall. I hope he comes tonight, and we get lost in each other and the world fades away. He’ll take me in his arms and kiss me like there is only me in the world. Of course, my sister will be there. We will likely share a mate.

Damn it! She is such a bitch!

We have already discussed our rules. Number one: no bed sharing. When we are in bed with our mate it will individually. Number two: She is in charge of breakfast; I am in charge of dinner. Meaning she will mostly have morning sex while I get nighttime. Number three: Daytime is a free for all. First come first serve if you will.

If we stick to these rules, we will be fine. If Shay can stick to the rules. Our poor mate I really hope the goddess is preparing him. I don’t want to live like some mates. I want to live like my parents.

Our parents are so in love. I want a relationship like them. Mama and Daddy have built a pack from the ground up. Dad is fair but firm. He and Beta Trevor have created a justice system that is the envy of many packs. And even acts as a model for several young Alphas.

Mama and Beta Stephanie set the example of how she-wolves are expected to behave at Blue Mountain. Training to protect yourself and your young. Education because ignorance does no one any favors. Firm grip on your mate, they know where Daddy and Trevor are, who is with them and what is happening every second. And the flip of that is Daddy and Trevor know all this about them.

Shanka and I agree we want that kind of respect with our mate as well. Our greatest fear- being bonded like Uncle Nic and Aunt Grace.

Those two are insane. They have their good times, I’m sure. Mama said at one point they really tried. But every word they say to each other is dripping with distain and sarcasm. No thank you. I’m just not that sharpe tongued or witty. Shay could hold her own, but not me.

Grandma and Pop-pop moved here to Blue Mountain to get away from them. Grandma and Aunt Grace are like a lit match and gasoline.

Mama is really the only person I’ve ever seen get along with Aunt Grace.

My Uncle Cullen and Aunt Maple are by far my favorites. They have a relationship for the ages. Aunt Maple pushes boundaries, Uncle Cullen shakes his head with a “yes dear” and goes and does his own thing. They have three sons, Edward who is 19, Emmet who is 18 and Jasper who is 12. All three clearly Wallace boys. Olive skin, black curly hair, taller than most, green eyes.

Mama let us watch the Twilight Saga when we were fifteen. Then I got why Aunt Maple was a “legend” to Mama and Aunt Grace. Edward Cullen Wallace, Emmit Cullen Wallace, and Jasper Cullen Wallace. My Uncle said, “at least they all have two of my names.” He is such a good man.

If I could craft the perfect mate he would have the personality of my Uncle Cullen, the strength of my Daddy, the determination of my Uncle Nic and the humor of my Uncle Luke.

Luke and Cullen are twins mated to twins. I could handle that!

It’s getting close to time for the party. I look at myself in the new dress. It’s a little tighter than I prefer but I do look nice. It’s white, fitted, cold shoulder and a long sleeve. It’s not horrible it’s just not me. I prefer dresses like my mama, silk, sundresses down to my knee, or maxi dresses in cotton. I’m a simple girl.

“We are so super-hot, if we don’t find our mates at least we can get a hot Alpha piece,” Shay jokes she is wearing the same dress and she added more make up.

“You go ahead, I’ll wait,” I sneer at her. “You ripped my dress.”

Shay rolls her eyes, “Big sis you don’t know what you are missing, seriously. Don’t you want to rock our mate's world? You need a little practice.” Completely ignoring the fact, she ripped my dress. I huff and move on. There is no point in arguing with Shay. It will end in a fist fight and I’m just not in the mood.

“I’m sure I’ll get the hang of it when the time comes,” I smirk walking away.

“Okay Big Sis,” Shanka, Shay as we call her, is a little wilder than me. I preferred quiet calm and a book. Shanka likes clubs, parties, and loud music.

“Okay,” Daddy said clapping his hands. “Guests are at the pack gate, let’s get to greeting.”

My daddy was a tower of an Alpha. I’m sure anyone who saw him would piss themselves. But he is the biggest, sweetest teddy bear. Seriously, don’t piss him off because he can turn in a second, but he is the perfect girl dad.

I know the way my mate should treat me because of my Daddy. And my expectations are high!

**********************************************

Shanka’s POV

I hated, absolutely hated breaking up with my boyfriend, Jake, but he isn’t my mate. Patty warned me., but she’s 8, why would I listen to her?

Poor guy had really tried, even doing extra training to try and endear himself to my Daddy. He might have succeeded had Daddy not caught us having sex. Oops.

My Daddy is a big teddy bear, until you piss him off. If mom hadn’t been there, I really think Jake would be dead. Mom always encouraged us to wait for our mate, my twin took that way, I didn’t. I like sex is that so wrong?

Sara and I decided on “rules” for our mate. One being that we would mate in birth order, so her first. Well, she better swing those virgin legs open wide. Because I am not waiting more than 24 hours before mating and marking our mate. Sorry sis, but I got to get laid! A day without an orgasm is just not for me.

Some people would say I’m a slut, but if I had a pole rather than a hole, I would just have an active sex drive. Which is fine for a wolf, but not a shewolf. Like my mate is sitting at home waiting on me.

I kinda hope Sara and I don’t share a mate. Sharing means less sex for me.

My twin is smart, like super crazy book smart. Me not so much. I have to work for my grades. And I do work.

My sister is sweet and kind where I am brash and a little clueless to other's feelings. Hey, I’m aware of my flaws okay. I get that I can’t read a room and I’m not empathetic, that is where my sister comes in. She softens my edges. I make sure everyone remembers we are Alphas, and we will kick your asses.

Tonight, everyone is going to be eyeing us like meat. Maybe a handsome one will get a taste. I smile to myself thinking of all the males who are going to be begging for my and Sara’s attention.

“Ladies, let’s go,” Mama leads us downstairs.

“How many guests are we expecting?” Sara asks nervously, seeing the tables everywhere. Not just in the ballroom, mama has them everywhere.

“A lot girls, all unmated Alphas in Wolferon and a few from the human realm. We can thank Silver Creek for using their portal.”

“Alpha James and Luna Erin are so sweet. I wish their son was old enough to be our mate.” I say. Luca is seventeen. If he is our mate, he is totally worth the wait. His cousin Is also pretty hot, but a bit of a man whore. Okay, he is the definition of a manwhore like his dad. Patty said he is fated to Marie our sister. We shall see shan’t we.

The guests start filing in and we greet them. I see my sisters eyeing the younger ones. I mean most of these males will be back in 9 months for my sisters Jessica and Gina, then Lexis and Marie, and so forth until it’s Patty’s turn. I hope the goddess is preparing a special male for that little pain in the ass.

“Hope you mate doesn’t mind throwing a hotdog down a hallway. After all the trains you pulled,” Patty taunts me.

“How in the hell do you know anything about hotdogs and trains?” I ask her... Reminder, she is EIGHT FUCKING YEARS OLD!

“I watch television blondie, I’m mature for my age,” she flips her red hair and walks away. I hate her and want to rip out her throat!

Patrick, Alpha of Blood Moon, walks in and scoops Patty into a hug. He holds Patty to the side and kisses Marie deeply. I want to gag at how in love they are. Patty catches me staring and lays her head in Patrick’s shoulder. Little twerp!

The procession starts, a never-ending line of males sniffing and shaking hands. Gross guys, not attractive.

While these guys are hot there is no denying, they aren’t sending my wolf into a frenzy.

“I don’t think he’s here,” Sara whispers after an hour. “My face hurts from smiling.”

“Mine too,” I confess.

“Luca!” Sara yells as a genuine smile takes over us both. “So glad you made it.”

“Me too!” He hugs us both. “If you don’t find your mate, you both have to come to my Alpha ceremony in 3 months. Who knows?”

“If we don’t find our mate, we will be at Silver Creek for the midnight celebrations your eighteenth,” I flirt.

Luca smiles wildly, his brown skin and bright blue eyes, does something to the insides of me.

“I look forward to it,” Luca smirks. I just want to melt away with him. I’ve been with him before, several times. He can work my body pretty well.

“Shanka,” my mother hisses and I let Luca pass.

“Geez, I can’t even flirt,” I roll my eyes.

“Well, if Luca is here the human realm Alphas should be here.” Sara said. “Can you imagine living with the humans?”

“Yeah, sound great,” I lie, “shoot me with silver please.”

Sara gives me a disappointing look. She loves all things human. Movies, books, legends, whatever, if it’s human realm, my sister is in. Me on the other hand, not so much. Having to hide my wolf is not something I want to do ever.

My wolf and I are friends, even if we just met today, and I like that. The idea of hiding my wolf pisses me and my wolf off. Sometimes I wonder if I should have been male.

I am making small smiles at Luca when my wolf takes over.
