Our Shared Mates

Chapter 1

Hey, I'm Rayan Rain Wolfe, and my first name, Rayan is pronounced Ry-an. I'm 17-years-old, the younger twin by five minutes to River Rian. Rian is pronounced Re-an. River and I are both gay, and if this is a problem, then you need to stop reading our story now. 

We live with our dad, Raymond, his boyfriend James West, and our two younger twin brothers, Roman and Rowan. River and I are both 5'9", he is right handed, and I am left handed. We both have dark brown hair that is considered 'Emo' style. We both have baby blue eyes, and we have three piercings - snake bites, tongue, and belly buttons. 

Dad is 38-years-old, 6', muscular build, dark brown hair, and has dark blue eyes. James is also 38-years-old 5'10", thin build, blond hair, and green eyes. Dad and James have been together for two years, and James has been living with us for a year. Roman and Rowan are 15-years-old, and Roman is three minutes older than Rowan. Both are 5'7", thin build, light brown hair, and pale blue eyes. They look like our deceased mom, Rachel. She died four years ago from leukemia. 

Did you know that werewolves actually exist? Well, they do, actual people who can shift into werewolves. Most humans are unaware of these supernatural creatures, but we are around them everyday. We know because of dad's best friend since childhood, Ace Moore, who is a werewolf, and we've spent a lot of time around him and his family, and have seen their wolves many times. 

We're moving to the town of Haven, Michigan in the northern part of the state, under the bridge, where uncle Ace and his family live. The Blue Moon Pack controls the town of Haven, and uncle Ace is the head warrior of the pack.

"Alright boys, do you have everything packed from your rooms?" dad asks as the four of us enter the kitchen from our rooms. 

"Yup, and the boxes are stacked off to the side just inside the room," River answers for us. 

"Good, the moving truck will be here by 7 a.m. tomorrow," he replies. 

We're taking everything but the appliances and the furniture since the new house is fully furnished, courtesy of the pack. Dad is renting this house out, and the new renters will be here at 7:45 a.m. to get the keys from dad, and talk about anything that needs to be discussed before we leave at 8 a.m.

"Can we order dinner?" Rowan softly asks dad. 

"James should be here any minute with pizzas and drinks," dad replies with a fond smile. 

"Awesome!" Rowan quietly cheers with a fist bump into the air, making all of us to laugh with him. 

"Um, can River and I hang with our friends tonight after dinner?" I ask quietly, hoping dad lets us. 

"You all can if you would like, but curfew is 11 p.m., so you're well rested for the eight hour drive," he replies with a gentle smile. 

"We said our goodbyes at school today," Roman replies for him and Rowan. 

Rowan and I jump slightly when the door is suddenly opened by James. Dad, River and I help him bring in the food and drinks while Rowan and Roman grab the paper plate, plastic cups, and napkins from the kitchen. The six of us sit around the living room to eat while we talk. James is moving with us, and he also knows about the werewolves. 

"Rayan are you alright? You're quieter than usual," James kindly asks from his spot on the couch next to dad. 

"Yeah, I'm okay, thanks," I softly smile at him. "Just nervous about moving is all." 

He sweetly smiles back at me; "Moving isn't too bad. Think of it as a new adventure in getting to explore a new place and meet new people."

"Yeah, I guess," I murmur with a small nod at him.

Becoming lost in my thoughts as I eat, I move closer to River, seeking out his comfort. I need his body heat and safety that he provides. River wraps his left arm around my waist to pull me tighter to his side as we continue to eat, and the others talk. I'm the quietest one of us kids, and Rowan is the next quietest. River and Roman are very loud and outgoing. 

"Rayan, are you sure you're up for hanging with our friends? We can come back in a few months to see them," River quietly asks into my ear making me shiver. 

"I'm sure, unless you would rather not go," I reply, glancing at him through my hair. 

"We can go, but we will come home by 10 p.m., okay? Everyone will understand," he softly says with a smile. "Finish your dinner." 

Humming at him in reply, I do what he said, and then snuggle into his side as I lie my head on his shoulder. 

"Alright, take off you two, and remember curfew is 11 p.m.," dad says once everyone has finished eating. 

"We'll probably be home by 10 p.m., but we will see," River says as he and I slip on our shoes. 

"Okay," dad nods as we walk from the house, and climb into the blue, 2013 Jeep Laredo that River and I share. 

"Do you want to go home early or not?" River asks while driving us to the bowling alley where we're meeting our friends. 

"Um, I, uh, was wondering if we can come home early, so we can have sex?" I ask shyly. 

"Duh," he smirks at me. "Either time we arrive home, I figured we'd have sex once everyone is asleep."

Grinning at him, I nod eagerly; "Let's be home early, so we can do whatever needs to be done before morning."

"Sounds good, baby," he agrees, pulling into the bowling alley parking lot, and parks next to David's truck. 

Walking inside the building we find our four friends located at two of the lanes with everyone's named keyed into the machines. They also have their shoes, and balls, so we wave to them as River and I get our shoes and balls before joining them. 

"Hey guys," David greets us as do T.J., Kacey, and Hope, and we greet them back. 

All six of us leave the bowling alley by 9:45 p.m., after lots of hugs and promises to keep in touch, and that we would come back to visit as soon as we can.
