My Best Friends Mate

Chapter Five- Uncharted territory

Ryans POV

Dustins little sister. He had told me show was coming and that she’d probably come train with us a day or two. My parents had kept me in the loop about her. How she has become the packs fiercest special operative. They didn’t tell me that that punk Tyler was with her and then that ended when he found his
mate. Dustin filled me in on that explaining why she was coming to visit. Her birthday was in a little over
a week evidently as well. When I walked into the training arena I wasn’t expecting to see the most beautiful she wolf id ever seen. Man, had she grown up. She hadn’t seen me yet. She was talking to Dustins mate. I saw her and caught her scent. She smelled like pine and fresh air. She smelled like the forest. I walked closer and said “well if it isn’t hudds little sister” When she turned to look at me with
those piercing emeralds something strange happened. I heard a whisper. “not yet” I looked around and everyone was doing their own thing, talking amongst themselves. Kiara just glared at me. Im sure she hadn’t forgotten how mean I was to her back then, teasing her about how clumsy she looked. Cleary that was prior to puberty. She looked like a stick at 12 with eyes too big for her face and messy blonde hair. She was long and lanky and just… well like a board. But now… I cannot be attracted to my best friends sister. This was different. I don’t think this was the mate bond. I haven’t found her yet but this isn’t like what others have described it. Something else was happening and all I could keep hearing my head is “not yet”. Whatever the hell that means. There was still an attractiveness there and a sense to
protect her. I played it off like she was just the little girl who used to tag along and slow us down. Act cool Ryan. Apparently I acted cocky because somehow I got myself into prearranged sparring session and called her trash? What the hell… Well, I told myself, lets see what shes been up to all this time
We took the warriors to the woods to train. Something Dustin and I had grew up doing. After an hour of training this packs warriors, Dustin made good on his promise to deliver a fight between his best friend and baby sister. For a minute I thought he was doing it to be a dick or mess with me. “Fight” I hear him
shout. I encircle Kiara, getting a good look at her. I can tell shes strong and probably fast. I made my first
move that she blocked but I quickly recovered grabbing her arm to flip her and throw me. She surprised
me when she grabbed me and flipped me over both of us standing there afterwards with a firm grip on eachothers arms, neither of us on the ground. That when I knew she wouldn’t be easy. After both of us going at it throwing blows but blocking eachothers I finally manage to be fast enough to get a kick to her
kidneys. Barely. Kiara is fast. She got me back with an upper cut. I laughed internally when she picked up
the wet earth and blew it in my face. Smart girl! What confused me though was when she ran towards
the water. Why would she do that? Water slows you down, makes you sloppy. Damn she was fast. If I wasn’t a natural Alpha I wouldn’t have caught up to her. I barreled into her, pushing her into the spring. That’s when I saw why she wanted the water. She was so gracefull and despite the water precise and
quick. Note to self, begin aquatic training with my warriors. She got me in a rear naked choke. It was difficult to get out of being in the water and if she hadn’t of pulled me out I probably would have passed out. That led me to wonder, she would know that, why did she get me out. I think she wanted a fair fight. Finally out of the water, we’re going at it full force but everything we gave eachother the other blocked or met. Like a damn mirror. She was dustins kid sister alright. She was Eric and Selenes daughter. My parents trusted them with their lives. They trusted them with me and my brothers lives.
We got eachother in an ankle lock that neither one of us was willing to let go of. I saw her starting to struggle and she looked cute. I didn’t mean that in an arrogant condescending way. She really did look cute. What does my dumb a** do though? I say it loud and man did that piss her off. She dug her leg
into my hip, turned out of my ankle lock and got me in a kimura. I wonder how much longer it could have gone on if Dustin hadn’t stopped it. I think he just wanted his sister to enjoy her vacation, away from her responsibilities as an assassin and warrior, away from boy drama but our pride got us into an
awesome sparring match if I do say so myself. Kiara could easily be my equal. With the fight over she walked up to her brother, slapping him on the back and mumbled something. She had the biggest grin on her face. Then she left us.
“your sister dude.” I said to Dustin

“don’t even think about it” he said.

I just threw my hands up in defense and shook my head smiling. I turned and she had disappeared in the
woods. I had to see her again.

Kiaras POV

I don’t know what that was. I told myself I was coming here to get away from fighting and boys and what is the first thing that happens? I get into a fight with a really hot boy, no, a man. Ryan was always gorgeous and I had always had somewhat of a little crush on him but he was always such a jerk. For being twins, him and Markus couldn’t be anymore different in the personality aspect. Ryan was that bad boy but secretly had a sense of nobility and honor. He rarely showed that part. He was always running off from the pack to travel and didn’t take his responsibilities seriously. No one could figure out why.
Markus was quiet but confident and 99% always doing the right thing, being the responsible child. Every
once in a while his wild streak would come out which was usually influenced by his brother. Shaking those thoughts from my mind, I remembered the Alpha and Luna wanted to meet me tonight for dinner.
According to Dustin they were young, 25ish and had just taken over the pack from their parents. They were implementing some changes, hence Dustin and Ryan coming to train their warriors. They also had a little 5 year old boy name Joshua. I recalled all the info Dustin had told me so that I could be prepared to meet them. I shower, erasing the dirt, sweat and the smell of pine off me. After showering I laid
down in just my towel on the bed. I closed my eyes thinking about everything. Tyler, Jo Anna, how my
home pack was doing while I was on vacation. I hear the door swing open and theres Dustin and Ryan.

“dude! Can you not knock?” I yelled at
Dustin looked super embarrassed and quickly looked away.

“well can you put on some clothes on? Preferably some that cover more than the towel youre in” Dustin
said.

“I don’t know bro, I kind of like the towel” Ryan retorted.

We both glared at him ready to go in for the kill, fists balled.

Ryan quickly threw his hands up “im kidding! Im just messing with you two.”
Then walked out the door yelling at me to get dressed. Dustin turned at me, the anger had dissipated from his face, he calmly told me he had some important
things to do and that Ryan would be escorting me to dinner to meet the Alpha and Luna.
“you must be joking.” I said with shock
“no kiara im not. I have something very important to do and I wont have time to do it and then get back here to you in time. I know Ryan wasn’t the nicest guy to you but we both know he’d never hurt you. Youre grown now and I expect you to show a little maturity despite the past. Besides.. looks like you two
got everything out of your system this morning anyways” with a light laughter in his voice.
“ok, fine. Let me get dressed” I said almost sounding defeated. I wasn’t thrilled about the idea but I wouldn’t act like a bratty 13 year old not getting her way and throw a fit over something like this. I knew when to pick and choose my battles. I needed to show respect to the Alpha and Luna of this pack. I just…
why Ryan? It went past the childhood teasing. I was attracted to him and didn’t want to be. I knew I wasn’t his mate either because him being 22 he would have told me. Him being over 18 would know it right away. Still, there was something that just wasn’t right. Something unsettled.
