Dragon King's wolf mate

Stumbling from the bar that Lilian and Juleka drug me to, I bump into a man. Large, reeking of poor booze and sweat. He grabs at me throwing crude words my way. I pay him no mind and keep walking. No real destination in mind. I don't want to go home. Not to my brother, his loud shouting at a pathetic game. Reaching a small park, the moonlight making it all seem ethereal. Sitting on a swing set listening to the sounds of the city. My brother's words echo in my head. "A wolf like you will never mate with anyone. It is about time you gave up that worthless fantasy of yours," he had told me. My brother's not entirely wrong. Most people of this time don't know what shifters are. Those who do scorn them. Perhaps that is why my brother hates me. Ben has always been jealous of me. Whatever. Screw Ben. Tipping my head back I look up at the moon. I don't remember falling asleep but I woke up to find myself still in the park, shivering. I've always been weird, able to sleep anywhere. Ben says I'm more like a cat than a wolf in that manner. I sit up slowly. Head feeling as though someone is taking a chisel and splitting my head in two. Juleka and Lilian will hear about this later. I stumble home to the apartment I share with Ben. Praying to whatever deity exists that he will be asleep. I unlock the door and low and behold, he is not asleep. In fact he is leaning so far forward in his gaming chair I almost wonder if he will fall in. His black hair framing his face in a way that mimics mine. His eyes are forest green. The one thing that differs from me. The one thing that makes it hard for people to believe we're twins. He took after our mother with the green eyes. I got our father's deep, mysterious brown ones. The kind of brown that looks black in some lighting. I am grateful he is distracted. I manage to slip past and into my room. I grab a change of clothes and shower then slip out once more. Phone buzzing in my pocket, a message from my boss informing me of a new shipment of products. I give a short reply letting him know I'll stock everything the second I arrive. He says nothing more. I shove earbuds in and fade into the music.
