Amarah
Someone clearing their throat pulls my attention away from the document I am reading. I look into the face of one of my best friends. They know how to read my expressions, and right now, they can tell I have found something that has made my day.
My Beta is looking at me with a questioning look in her eyes. I smile at her before deciding to answer her. Melia, Rhea, and Eos are as curious as Ione is, and experience has taught me that if I don’t answer them, they will keep nagging until I give in.
My Beta, Ione, my Gamma, Melia, and my Deltas, Rhea and Eos, are all twenty-six. The five of us were born within the same week and have been inseparable since birth. We slept in the same room until we turned sixteen, but now we have our own rooms in my quarters on the top floor of the Pack-house.
Once one of us finds her Mate, depending on who it is, that person will move out of my quarters into their own. If I am the first one to find my Mate, they will all move into Ione’s quarters, and so on.
We know one another better than we sometimes know ourselves. Just a look from one of them is enough to tell me what is on their minds, and I know that I am an open book to them as well. This is sometimes a blessing in disguise, but in other situations, it can be a pain in the behind.
I quickly tell them what I have uncovered, and they all have a smirk on their faces, knowing I will knock them down a few notches. “You need to start training, not that you don’t train enough,” Eos is quick to say, and I know exactly what she means.
Male Alphas are bigger than I am. They also think they are faster and stronger. I will prove to them that I am faster, and because of that, I will be able to land punches before they even see them coming.
A knock on the door interrupts our meeting, and Melia is the one who walks over to open it. “Hello, Alastor, what is it?” she asks as she sees my baby brother on the other side of the door and steps aside to let him in.
“I heard an Elder dropped by, and I hoped to find out if you were finally invited,” he says as he looks at me. I nod my head, and a smile crosses his face. Unlike me, he doesn’t want to partake in the competition, but he has his reasons for wanting me to go.
Alastor sits down in the armchair opposite mine as if he belongs in this meeting. He doesn’t, but it doesn’t stop him, and I don’t mind if he sits in on this one. The bond between the two of us is very strong and tight, as it has been since the day he was born.
Mom sometimes asks us what will happen if either of us doesn’t like the other’s Mate. Alastor and I always say the same thing, “I will reject my Mate,” which always makes Mom growl and Dad laugh his ass off every single time.
