Soul Mates

Mary-Katheryn "I am not doing it, mom. I. Am. Not. No way, no how, no where!" I screech at my mother who is in our room trying to convince us that we should give those jerks a chance. The one I'm supposed to be with is even the future alpha. I wonder if he'll rule the pack in cowardice since he doesn't seem to have a backbone to stand up to his stupid father. I mean why does he not go to Daddy dearest and tell him he doesn't want me. I mean he isn't even my mate. I am holding out hope for my true mate to come to my rescue. He is going to kick the crap out of everyone so we can ride off into the sunset. Well... He won't be able to do that since we are dealing with ALPHA's and all, but I like to hope. "Yes, you are, young lady. Do you know how important these joinings are to our pack?" My mom says. "Mom, I don't care. You got to be with your mate, your destiny. Why cant we?" I ask her. "Because you are an ALPHA's child, and that comes with responsibilities." she says on a sigh. "But mom, don't we deserve the chance to find true love like you did." I look at her as I say this, and she gets a wistful expression on her face. "Yeah, you deserve the chance." She whispers under her breath to herself. Loudly she says "You will do what is expected of you, and you must be on your best behavior Mary-Katheryn. You will attend the parade on Dominic's hand, and you will have a good time with him. You will be courteous to him, and you will not pull any of your shenanigans young lady." She glares at me. "Does my brother know?" I ask with a smirk on my face cause I know for a fact that Jean-Blaze would never allow this to continue if he knew. He is the only person who can stand up to our father, well stepfather. Our biological father died in a freak car accident, and no-one knows what happened to make his car crash. His 'best friend' decided to hold the pack for our then younger brother. Then he and my mom 'supposedly' fell in love and got married. "Yes he does. He is the one who suggested it actually. So if you would prepare yourselves for the festivities young ladies." She says this with a cheery voice as she leaves our room. I turn to my twin sister. "She can't mean that right?" I ask anxiously. "I mean he would not sell us for political reasons right?" I say as I start pacing the room. "I mean he always gets us out of things we don't want. I'm sure if we tell him we don't want this, he will agree with us, right?" I ask my twin who looks as confused as me. "I don't get it." She says in a small voice. "Big brother would never do this to us." She gets this frightened look in her face and jumps out of bed. "We need to call him. Like right now." She runs to her phone on the charger and dials our brothers number. "I mean he always talks about us finding our true Mates. What could have changed his mind?" She puts the phone on speaker. We listen to the ringing of the phone, "Jean-Blaze..." "Big brother you have to come back. I don't---" I start but get interrupted by my brothers voice. "Ha ha, gotcha. Leave your name and number and I'll get back to you. If I want to." Says his voice mail. We both look at each other. "This is so not happening." Mary-Rose starts hyperventilating. "It's okay, Rose, we can call him again tomorrow. I'm sure the battery just died and he will call tomorrow. So don't panic." I say soothing her. "Okay... Okay... So we just have to call him tomorrow. And it's our birthday anyways so he has to call us." I say walking her back to her bed. "And he will attend the parade so we will see him there. So you see, it's okay, go back to sleep Rose." We both go to bed and wait for the next day to see what will happen. And since the other Alpha's sons were scheduled to arrive tomorrow. I had to make an effort to be lively so I can weather their storm. You know how when you want something really bad, but something better comes along? This is the reverse case for me. What I am getting is worse, I am getting a person who won't love me for me. Someone who will put everyone else first before me. Someone who will use me then discard me. So my future without my brother's intervention will be very, very bleak.
