Lana’s POV
Drake borrowed Tate’s car, the drive to Black Creek Pack wasn’t long, only about twenty minutes by car before we hit the border.Once we stepped over the border though Drake became unbelievably tense, his knuckles turning white as he clutched the steering wheel.This Pack and town are vastly different. Everything is sleek and modern, almost industrial-like, and very black and white.No color on any of the houses and even the town itself was very plain to look at compared to Tate’s pack which to me looked more friendly and homely with the woods surrounding it and its cottage-style houses.This place looked controlled, heavily controlled, nothing out of place, too clean and organized. Barely anyone was on the streets and the place reminded me of a ghost town.We pulled up to a mansion in the center of town. The place was all white, except the entry which had heavy black double doors and blackLana POVToday was our sixteenth birthday and of all the days my brother Alpha Ryker had to call an Alpha meeting on his twin sister’s birthday. To say we were pissed off was an understatement. Arial and I watched from the upstairs window as Alpha’s from all over filed out of their cars before being greeted by our father and Ryker. My twin sister Arial hated the meetings just as much as me. It was one thing being twins, it was another being Lycan hybrid twins, and we always found that we copped the most stares. Once we came of age and didn’t get our wolves or shift, we knew we differed from our brother. Our mother was a direct descendant of the Moon Goddess, therefore, so are we.Our brother inherited most of our father’s traits, he shifted when he was twelve and was what we call an early bloomer, but he didn’t share my mother’s Hybrid gene. Yes, he was a direct descendant like us, but for some reason he only received certain traits while my sister and I were exactly like our moth
“Do you think he is your mate?” Arial asks as soon as the door is shut. My younger brothers raced down the stairs toward us excitedly.“Lana, Arial, did you hear the notorious Alpha Tate and Alpha Drake are coming today?” My brother Ace asked, he was obsessed with Alpha’s. I didn’t understand his obsession considering he would one day be one.“Yes Ace, we know. Tate is outside with mum and Dad. Now go with Tyson and play with your cousins. They are in the games room” Arial says, giving them a stern look. They both take off. They were both identical twins and little mischief makers, always up to no good.Storming off upstairs, I head to my room. Sitting on my bed annoyed.“So, do you?” Asks Arial and I roll my eyes.“No, I feel nothing towards him” I tell her, and she nods thinking.“On the plus side he is gorgeous” Arial says, nudging me with her elbow and I roll my eyes. I chuckle, shaking my head. Of course that is all she cares about. I loved my sister, but she could be a little v
Lana POVWalking out I went in search of my cousins and little brothers. I couldn’t sit in that room any longer while they compared dick sizes. What a day, not only do I have one person claiming I am their mate I have two. Like how is that even going to work, and how is it even possible? Arial comes out after a few minutes searching for me.Sitting on the lounge, I watch my cousins play Mario kart in the games room, hoping my mother can sort out this drama for me, so they can be on their testosterone-filled way. Of course, I had to be mates with two people that despise each other.Arial sits down beside me before pulling me against her side. I rest my head on her shoulder. She was my comfort place, always has been, our bond was like no other. Tyson and Ace were the same, always joined at the hip no matter what.“How do you feel?” Arial asks, concerned when I say nothing.“Like this is a bad dream, I don’t want mates. I don’t want to leave you” I tell her. She nods her head and my au
The next morning, I woke up early wanting to leave for school before I had to face them. Quickly getting ready, I raced down the stairs catching my father just as he was getting ready to leave with Ryker. Barrelling through the front door and waving them down as they started to pull out of the driveway.Ryker stops the car and I swing the back door open and hop in. “Is there a reason you are coming to work with us?” My father asks, turning in his seat and looking back at me.“I’m not, I need a lift to school”“School doesn’t start for three more hours Lana”“I know, I just wanted to get there early today” I lied.“More like you're trying to avoid your mates” Ryker says but reverses out anyway before driving down the long driveway.“You know you can’t avoid them forever?” My father asks.“I’m hoping they will get that I don’t want mates and leave”Ryker snorts, shaking his head at my logic.“Pretty sure it doesn’t work like that Sis” Ryker teases as we drive into town. When we drive p
The rest of the trip home was silent, as soon as the car pulled up, I bolted for the house, running straight to my room. My mother's voice reached me as I ran up the stairs.“Lana is that you?”“Yes, going to my room” I scream back not even slowing. I heard them come in and heard the front door shutting but I quickly rushed to my room, closing the door and locking it. A few seconds later, I heard a knock on the door.“You know you can’t avoid us forever” I hear Drake's husky voice call out to me. I can fucking try, I thought. I hear his footsteps leave and sigh only to hear the bathroom door open. My head snapped in its direction and walks Tate and Drake.Shit, Arial must have forgotten to lock the bathroom door. Of all the rooms ours had to have a two-way bathroom.“Get out” I snapped at them; they both ignored me. Instead moving into the room and sitting on Ariel's bed.I glare at them; can’t they see I want nothing to do with them? I am not leaving my sister, especially for a man,
How dare they think they can control everything, control my life like this. Now they were even going to break up with my boyfriend for me. I will see Nolan on Monday anyway so I will come up with something over the weekend. Unfortunately, being the weekend that meant it was going to be harder to avoid them. Deciding to skip dinner again. I remain in my room; Arial brings me a blood bag when suddenly Tate walks in behind her and hands me my phone. I glare at him.“Don’t stress Drake couldn’t get into it” He says holding his hands up in surrender. I poke a hole in the blood bag, Tate watching making me feel self-conscious. Blood wasn’t a big thing in this house but to outsiders I could understand it looked a little strange to see.“Taste any good” I lick my lips and nod.“Fresh is better,” I tell him, and he nods. Arial puts her headphones in before picking up a book ignoring what is going on.“Mind link me, is if he acts like an ass, I will toss him out for you,” She says through t
Drake POVLana was everything and more than I had hoped for in a mate, yet I had to leave her behind. I could understand her mother’s concern and understood that Lana didn’t feel we were her mates. I honestly thought I was always doomed with the mate I had until I laid eyes on her. Perfect that was the only way I could describe her, yet I had to leave her behind. My wolf whined as I hopped in my car.Putting the key in the ignition, I tried to turn it over but all it did was wind. “Fuck” I curse. I knew I should have fixed the darn thing before I came here. Just my luck. I try again when Tate taps on the window. I open the car door and he peers down at me. “Send for a tow truck, I will drop you back,” He tells me, and I run my fingers through my hair before sighing. Not like I had much choice.Great, now I had to spend hours in the car with him. Not how I wanted to spend the rest of an already horrid day.
Lana POVOver Two years laterI hadn’t seen them in two and half years, I managed to stretch out more time, telling them I wasn’t ready. But today was the day. Drake refused to wait any longer, saying I was weakening his wolf, weakening his pack. Tate was willing to wait till I came on my own and managed to convince Drake to wait. I had plans that didn’t involve being mated to two Alpha’s. I wanted to go to university, wanted to travel but not even my mother could delay them anymore. She believed I had made them wait long enough, and tried to convince me this was a good thing, that once I had been marked I would understand fully what it was like to be fated to someone and to feel the effects of the mate bond in full force. That scared me, I didn’t like having my future chosen for me. It seemed old and barbaric, an arranged marriage in a way.I just finished packing and flopped on the bed beside my sister. S
