Fated to My Alpha Brother

"Luna Ashley! To what do we owe this unexpected visit?" my dad boomed as he opened the door. "Come In! Come In!" he ushered Luna Ashley and the security warriors with her. I thought to myself, "Well, that answers that question." But then again, the question of "why?" resonates in my head. Why is she here? Why do I look like her "mini-me"? Why does my mom look pale, like a vampire just swept through here and drained her dry? Why is my normally stoic dad suddenly fidgety with his eyes darting everywhere but in Luna's direction?As Luna Ashley enters our humble home, she looks in my direction and smiles, nodding her head as if to prove that she was right to come here. Everyone went and found a place to sit except for her warriors; they stood directly behind her, looking intimidating. They stared straight ahead, unmoving, as though they had become fixed statues."How can we be of service to you, Luna Ashley?" mom asked with a slight submissive bow of her head to show respect."I receiv

Just as the pack doctor arrived and Luna Ashley was making introductions, I heard a female crying. We all turned toward the sound and came face-to-face with a beautiful girl who was crying softly. She looked like a princess wearing a beautiful off-white Body-con dress that hugged her curves perfectly. She paired the dress with black leather Gladiator Sandals and was wearing a beautiful white gold necklace and earring set that both had dangling crescent moons. In contrast, I was in ripped jeans and a navy-blue t-shirt tied into a knot on the back because it was a bit big for me. My eyes were puffy due to all the crying I had done in the last several hours. And to top it off, I was dirty from chest down due to the tumble I took while trying to run back to my parents.I was pulled from my internal dialogue when the crying girl asked no one in particular, “Now that you have your real daughter home, should I pack my belongings and leave? I don’t belong in this family”. And just like that,

Luna Ashley must have sensed what I was experiencing because she reached over to me, grabbed my hand, and started giving me instructions to do, “Claire, using your five senses, tell me 5 things that you can see right now.” I looked at her as she nodded, encouraging me to comply. I looked around and answered, “I see you, my purse, the back of the driver’s head (giggle), the radio dials, and the scenery outside.” “Now, tell me four things you can touch as you reach out and touch it,” Luna instructedI responded, “I can touch my hair (tugging my hair behind my ear), my cell phone (reaching in my purse and pulling my phone out), the back of the seat in front of me (reaching forward and putting my palm on the headrest of the driver’s seat) and I can touch your hand (reaching over and holding Luna’s hand, with a slight smile).”“Now tell me three things you can hear,” She instructed again.I cocked my head off to the left side, concentrating on the sounds around me, and replied, “I can he

"Well, Gabriel, you have a very valid point. To top your point off with a cherry, I have no idea where I actually am nor which direction to go after I pass the gatehouse," I huffed, crossing my arms in front of my chest. As soon as I stopped talking, I heard a low rumble that quickly became a full-on belly laugh from Gabriel. He tried his best to control himself as he wiped the tears from his eyes. He reached around me and opened the car door that I didn't even realize we standing next to. He gestured for me to get in as he replied, "Well then, you surely would have been in a pickle had I not been here to rescue you, huh?" He chuckled once more before shutting my door and making his way to the driver's side, sliding in with ease and grace. "Let's head back home where you can officially call it quits on this day," he suggested as the ignition roared to life, and he quickly maneuvered through the gate and sped toward the pack house. I just nodded as I watched the world pass in a blur t
