Chapter Three- My wish

QUEENETH'S POV.

The door opened and the person at the door was not seen.

“My pretty, please check who's at the door.”

I nodded and went to check.

It was Alpha Collins.

“Is Reuben still at home?” he asked

“Yes, he is.”

I wanted to go to the training with Reuben, but as he was already dressed and Alpha Collins showed up at his house, they may have a duty to attend to, which automatically changed my plan.

“Goodbye, Reuben and Success. I'm running late. See you later.’

Reuben smiled at me and Success gave me a cold stare. Bitch.

I walked out of the living room and off to the training ground.

As I was walking down to the training ground, a lot was going through my mind.

I already had a crush on Reuben. The way he takes care of me as though I were his family member made me fall in love with him. Sometimes I wish he would be my mate. We would be great together, and something in me tells me he loves me, too, although he always says that to me anytime we meet.

We never dated or talked about it, but I knew it was going through his mind the same way it's going through my mind. If not that in my pack, it's forbidden for a female wolf to make advances on a male wolf to tell him her intentions, I would have done that to Reuben.

In our pack, it's instructed that everyone keeps themselves for their mate. Sex with other pack members is highly prohibited in our pack. Other packs do it openly, but not in our pack. If caught, it calls for severe punishment. But my instinct kept telling me that Success had already had sex with Alpha Collins, which gave her so much assurance that she was going to be the Luna.

Reuben is the same age as Alpha Collins and has not found his mate. So maybe he is mine and I am his. I’ll not be happy to know that he slept around if he's my mate, but I don't want to hold his past against him.

As soon as I got to the training ground. I saw Reuben's younger sister, Aisha. Aisha is a year older than me. She shifted lady years but has not found her mate. I must confess that she is prettier than I am. She's such a good soul in and out. I’ve watched her on different occasions for years now and she has proved to be a good soul. I love her just the same way I love her brother, and she doesn't joke with me. She takes me as her younger sister she never had.

As soon as she saw me, she rushed and hugged me.

“Good morning, my pretty, in my brother's words,” she said and laughed.

“Good morning, the only one prettier than my pretty.” I snapped and joined her laughing.

She pecked on my forehead.

“I’ve been waiting for you. Why were you late?” she cautioned me just the same way my mother does her rebuking.

“I'm sorry madam.”

“I thought you would be coming with my brother. Where's my brother?”

I let out a short smile.

“I'm I your brother's keeper,” I said, smiling.

“Well, he was the one who delayed me. I went to your house to wait for him but Alpha Collins came visiting.”

Aisha shook her head.

“I thought as much. We’ll have to wait for him to arrive.”

“So Queeneth, what's the preparation for your birthday and first shift tomorrow?”

I hesitated.

“No preparation. I'm just anticipating but bothered at the same time.”

“What is bothering you?”

“I don't know whether I’ll find my mate by tomorrow. I wish I could after meeting my wolf.

Aisha held my waist and pulled me closer gently.

“Don't worry, you'll find your mate. The Moon Goddess will help you and we'll also be with you.”

I felt so much encouraged because I knew Aisha was not mincing words when she said that. If not for her and her brother, I don't know what my fate would be.

We waited and waited for Reuben, but he was not coming forth. The three of us train together. He teaches us a little bit about what they do in their own department during their training session. Both of us trained without her, and after an hour and a half, we were done with our daily training sessions. Reuben was still not back, and we knew he wouldn't be coming again, so we would meet him at the dinner we always went to.

I went home to shower and prep for dinner. I quickly showered and changed into something lighter. I dried my hair and allowed it to fall to my waist.

When I came to the dinner, Reuben and Aisha were already sitting at our usual booth.

“Hey, my pretty,” you look amazing.

I blushed as usual.

“Thank you,” I smiled. “Not as amazing as you do.”

I quickly went and hugged Aisha, who was sitting close to her brother.

“There's something I want to say.” Aisha started.

We all turned towards her direction.

“Something is going through my mind. I'm thinking that Reuben will be your mate, Queeneth and we'll be family.” She said with a big smile on her face.

Immediately, Reuben bowed but didn't say anything. Aisha went close and tapped him.

“Won’t that be beautiful, brother?” She asked.

Reuben raised his face smiling.

“It’ll be beautiful. I’d like that.”

I felt on top of the world and was so surprised that the one I am crushing is also crushing on me, but didn't want to talk about it.

Reuben quickly changed the topic.

“Hey girls, what are we talking about?” he asked.

“Mates,” Aisha said with a huge grin on her face.

“I can't wait to revisit that topic tomorrow.”

Reuben said and winked at me.

We spent the rest of the day talking, laughing, and gisting.

It was late when I got home, I quickly showered, put on my pyjamas, and got under my covers. I can't wait to see what tomorrow has for me.
