Pack BBQ

Alpha Arrow

I have spent the past two hours trying to fight off the advances of Bella, one of the popular girls and one half of the twisted sisters, as our younger sister calls them . Her father is our father’s Gamma, she thinks because I slept with her once she now has a claim on me.

My wolf Ajax is ready to rip her throat out if she doesn't stop pawing at us. Two days ago he started acting on edge, irritated and keeps telling me something is coming.

Axel, my twin brother Aries wolf, has been the same, but unlike me he is happy to have Keris, our fathers Beta’s daughter,  the other half of the twisted sisters, all over him.

Tonight is the weekly pack BBQ, it gets held every Saturday to help the pack come together. Most of the adults have left, leaving the teenagers to it. 

For as far back as I can remember my brother and I always knew we would share a mate, being identical twins and Alpha’s we would need a strong Luna. Lately I have been having the same dream every night, about the same female. Ajax practically purrs when I think of the female from my dream’s.

All i can think is what if she is our mate? How will she feel if she finds other females acting like this with us? I know if the tables were turned and I found her in the arms of another male, my thoughts are cut short with my wolf growling at the thought. Looking at Aries I wish he would listen, I know Axel is of the same thought as Ajax. 

My brother can't help himself when it comes to females, me let's just say I have been with a couple of females but not since we left school and done our Alpha training, unlike Aries. I just feel so unsettled, I wake up each morning since the dreams started, confused. 

Standing up, I once again peel Bella off me, I mind-link my brother. ‘Off to bed brother, maybe you should as well’ Aries just looks at me and shakes his head. I hope he learns before it's too late cause if he hurts our mate he will have me to deal with.

We have the largest Pack in  western America, Ruby Mountain. Our parents were fated mates, even now they act like love sick pups; I like to tease them but in all honesty I hope to have what they have. 

Astrid, our younger sister, only just turned eighteen and shifted for the first time last full moon. We like to tease and call her the princess of the pack, but in all honesty Astrid is a good girl, she is training to be the pack Doctor. She is probably the closest to me except for Aries. Well when he isn't chasing some she-wolf or another, well if he ever gets a minute from Keris. 

Our pack house is huge. It has four floors, the ground floor has the communal spaces like the lounge, kitchen and some meeting rooms. First floor has all visiting people or new members waiting to be housed. Second floor are the Beta and Gamma families and top floor is the Alpha suits. 

Our mother always kept the packhouse light and airy, with neutral colours and paintings, mostly of local sceneries. We are twenty two and most of the Alpha heirs we did training with have found their mates, at times it makes me feel slight envy, that we are still waiting. 

At first, sleep wouldn't come, I just kept playing the dream over and over, seeing her beautiful face. Her bright blue eyes are so bright, it’s like looking at the clearest sky.

As sleep finally pulled me under, my dreams are so vivid, it’s as though I am there, reaching out to touch her just as she disappears. Panic rises within me as the scene around me fades,standing in a void of darkness, before she reappears always just out of reach. There is something behind her eyes, a sadness so deep.

I wake up confused and a little hazy, her face, the sadness in her eyes are in the front of my memory playing on a loop. I wish I knew how to find her, or at least knew where to start to look. Ajax has been quiet this morning, I know this affects him as much as it does me.

I wish Aries would understand, would listen to me when messing around with these she-wolves, our mate will need to be around these females and I know Keris she won't allow him to be free even once our mate arrives.

‘I will kill anyone who upsets our mate’ Ajax my wolf says at the thought of anyone hurting our mate. ‘I know but we need to find her first’ I reply, feeling slightly frustrated with the situation, with her face clear in my mind.
