A mate on the other side of the world

It is the last year I can seek some adventure abroad. When my brother turns 21, he will be the next Alpha of our pack. Both of us are still searching for our mates. Next year, I will turn 18 and, then I need to be at home, with our pack. I will become the new Beta of the pack. Normally, women in our pack doesn’t get such a position. This were and are the rules of my dad, grand dad, etc. The only thing is, I am the second strongest within our pack. To gain this title, I had to fight every man in our pack, with success. It is maybe because I am the daughter of two Alpha’s, because I’ve learned so many fight techniques abroad and, because I have trained a lot with my brother.  My brother and I are each other’s best friends. Not, that he hasn’t other friends in our pack, because he has. A lot. While I only have my brother. I was always traveling and made a lot of friends abroad, but not in my pack. When I return of my last travel to the United States, it will change. I will change. I will be the one my pack expects me to be.  I really don’t talk with my parents. They were not happy when they found out that traveling was more important for me than being with the pack. So, that’s why my brother and I live in a separate house. When my brother will find his mate, I will go to live in my own house or in the pack house. That is still debatable.  I am looking down for some flights. Tomorrow I will leave the White Light Pack and go to the United States. I’ve heard that one of the strongest and most dangerous packs are over there. Of course, I want to visit that pack. My brother thinks I will do the tourist attractions over there, while I am backpacking. Instead, I want to visit different packs and get to know more pack cultures.  My wolf and I are debating which flight we want to have. My wolf and I are strong developed. We only had each other when we were traveling all by ourselves, so my wolf is already completely and well trained. When I was younger, I wanted to mind link with my brother when I was abroad. So, we trained well on it and, we are the only ones who can mind link with each other when I am outside our territory. Nobody in our pack knows it. We think it would be dangerous or we would be seen as special and should visit the Wolf King. The stories about him, aren’t really save, so no, only the two of us.  I am laying on the couch when my brother walks in. “Dinner?” he asks. I am too tired to answer him with my mouth, so I just mind link to him to say yes. He grabs me by my feet and pulls me out of the couch. I start to laugh by his sudden action. He drags me into the kitchen. When he loses his grip on me, I stand on and take a seat across the kitchen furniture. I am the worst chef ever, so the kitchen furniture is forbidden for me. I thought back at the time that we would cook together. We were making pancakes. When Sean (my brother) went to the toilettes, I started with making the pancakes. Instead of a nice gold brown pancake, we got a fire and, in the end, a new kitchen. I had to swore to my brother to not cook ever again. So, for almost twelve years, he is making me lunch and dinner. I am allowed to make my own bread or yoghurt in the morning.  I look at him, while he is making the dough for the pancakes. I got into my thoughts. He is all grown up now. His blond long wavy blond hair, blue eyes and strong muscles make him more mature. Who is this man in front of me? Since when is he like a model? It is your brother. My wolf pops out, your brother is changing into the Alpha he needs to be. I hope he will find his mate soon. He deserves it.  “Dinner is ready!”  Brought back to earth with a shock. Why does he need to yell? I am sitting across him. I take a plate filled with delicious looking pancakes, bacon and chocolate. My favorite. He takes a plate as well, and walked towards me, to sit beside me. I see that he isn’t eating, but just looking at his food. Suddenly, he grabs his plates and goes to the garden. Okay, this is not normal. What should I do? My wolf wants to eat, the smell of the food is overwhelming. First, I am going to eat my food and afterwards I will see what is wrong with Sean.  When I finished my food, I took the plate to the dish washer and walked towards the garden. He is sitting on the edge of the garden, almost in the woods. What is going on with him. I walk towards him. When I reaches him, I sit down beside him. “Sean, what is wrong? You never left me alone in the kitchen to eat for to sit down in the garden.”  “Sorry Mary, I just needed to be alone. Dad said that I need to marry someone else than my mate, for the goodness of the pack. It is to get a stronger align. The only child of the Green Wood Pack, which is a girl btw, needs to wed me for the allegiance. This is not your problem and I will save my ass before marrying her, but I just need to figure something out”.  “Sean, why didn’t you tell me it before, I can help you.” I said.  “No Mary, you need to go the United States and have some fun. When you are back, I want to see so many pictures of you. Then will run this pack together as our brother-sister team.”  I looked at him. He is the most incredible brother ever. We sat down and just stared into the woods. When he stands up, I glared at him. He just nodded and went inside. My thoughts were running like hell. Yes, I have to save him. First my backpack tour in the United States, and when I know the date of the wedding, I am going to sabotage that wedding. With that in mind, I fell in a deep sleep.
