Opposite Polarities

I want to say that my life was fairly simple up until 8 years ago when I met my mate Despite it just being my brother and me  we were happy Happy a word that means feeling or showing pleasure or contentment It’s funny that nearly everyone lives in pursuit of happiness Happiness is something a werewolf finds after turning 16 years old Well like many young wolves I was taught that true happiness always comes with finding the love of your life Your mate Well that doesn’t always ring true for everyone Take me for example I graduated high school at 16, had my very first shift a week later and I was truly eager to go to college and start on my life so that I could get the opportunity to meet my mate. After arguing with my brother he agreed and help me pack but told me that he was going to continue on his own I was sad but accepted his will promising I would call him every day But I didn’t keep my promise I met my mate but our happiness was fleeting It didn’t last Had I known that it was just going to lead to heartbreak I probably would have rejected him then but the thing is when his soul called to mine I couldn’t just refuse him? Could I?
