Secrets of the Alpha's Mate

Breonna Lancaster

Breonna Lancaster

She placed her hands on her hips as she stared out of the window. The boredom was driving her insane. She had spent little time at home since shortly before her sister was married. Truth be told, she had not seen her sister since they had a brief argument over a shirt.

After their argument , Enza did not come around anymore. Breonna could not believe something as small as a shirt could keep her sister away from her. After all, they had shared clothes all of their lives. Something about that time was different though. Enza had demanded she take off her favorite shirt, and she did. Enza had put on the shirt and everything seemed fine. A few days later, a package arrived containing the shirt. There was also a small, handwritten note that said that she was giving it to her. That seemed odd to her, but she did not expect for it to be months before seeing her sister again.

Every small noise had her turning towards the door. Then she was disappointed to see it wasn't her. There was many times, over the months, that she thought that she would  unblock their special link. At least she would feel closer to her. She decided against it. They were not children anymore. They had made an oath. Especially considering the rarity of their gift.

The link that they shared was an unique one. If she thought about it, she had never met anyone with the link even close to thiers. The most common link was the pack link. The gift that every pack member had that allowed them to communicate with each other. Once a wolf was no longer part of the pack, the link ceased to exist. Many thought that the mated couple's link was the most powerful, but even their link was not as strong.

It was said that the link that she and her sister shared was only given every ten thousand years. The Moon Goddess herself would choose the siblings. Their link allowed them to communicate at any given time. They also could feel the exact emotions that the other felt. When necessary, if the other were injured or sick, they could transfer strength to the other.  

They shared that type of closeness  all of their life. Yet, when her sister, Enza had met her mate. They knew that things had to change. There would be many private moments that she shared with her mate that would not be appropriate for her to be witness of.  

She understood that things would not be the same, but it did not stop her from missing her sister. Breonna sat down by the window. She would just have to be patient. Enza was always on time and she kept her word. She sighed, she wondered how it would be when she finally met her mate. She wondered what he looked like. Was he handsome and kind? Would he be gentle and romantic? She could hardly wait until her opportunity. Oh, how she envied her sister.

It was not as if she was not overjoyed for her sister, she was. She wondered how it would feel to have someone to love her to the point that he would die without her. She closed her eyes and imagined dancing in her mate's arms. It was always the same fantasy. She and her mate would be walking by the lake at night. They would stop to look at the moon glistening over the water and he would take her in his arms. He would kiss her deeply and pull her close to him. She would lay her head against his chest. They would sway gently to a music that only the two of them could hear. 

Suddenly, her fantasy shifted. Her mate's eyes became an evil shade of red. He tossed her in the lake and was holding her underwater. She could not breathe. She was fighting against him, but it did no good. When she gave up and stop fighting, she could suddenly breathe again. Then she felt someone tickling her feet. What sort of weird fantasy was this? Then it became clear, she was dreaming. She had fallen asleep. Her eyes flew open to see a mischievous smile looking at her.

"Enza!" Breonna exclaimed. She jumped out of her seat, hugging her sister. Both of their faces was full of tears of joy. "I missed you so much!" Breonna screamed. A strange movement against her belly made her jump back. When she looked down, her mouth opened in surprise. Breonna looked at her sister in shock, "Enza?"
