Not Yours Alpha

Chapter Five~ The Johnson Kids

         "Hey Aunt Kléo." I said smiling at the girl. Kléo was a nice girl with long curly blonde hair and a baby face but they both completely betrayed her personality. She was a lesbian -not that it mattered- but she always wore her hair up and always had on long pants and a plaid button up and a tool holster wrapped around her slim waist with callused hands. She now ran the rock climbing business after her dad passed a few years ago.

         "Oh my god!" She yelled and threw her arms around the three of us holding us to her much like a grandmother would do to her kids after not seeing them in years. "How are the Johnson kids? I haven't seen a trace of any of you in forever!"

         "Hi Kléo." The twins said together and she smiled at them before pinching my cheek.

         "Hey girl." She said and I grinned hugging her tightly pushing the twins away with a quick shove. It was my turn, I missed her.

         "Aunty I missed you." I said like a four year old and even though I couldn't see Ryan was rolling his eyes. So what if Kléo wasn't my real aunt she was Kain's godmother and we're close enough for her to be my aunt.

         "Missed you too squirt. Oh! You have got to meet my mate Peyton. She's right over there. Peyton! PEYTON!" She yelled and a brown haired girl with green eyes turned and gave her a sugary smile before walking over.

         "Hey baby." She said walking over and kissing her cheek softly. I nearly awwed at she blush that covered Kléo's nearly sunburnt cheeks.

         "Hi." She said back shyly until my eyes met mine and I raised my brow. "These are Trent's kids." It felt weird to here my father's name without the title Alpha in front of it but I just smiled and waved at the girl. Taylor smiled widely at the girl but Ryan just nodded and squirmed a little. Peyton smiled at us broadly and it seemed to nearly rip her face in half.

         "Oh my gosh you have no idea how many tales Klóe has shared with me about you guys! Arrabella this. Taylor that. Ryan this and that. Goodness gracious I feel like I know you all already." I smiled when Ryan smiled giving her a small grin. Taylor seemed to notice and his teeth gleamed in the light. It felt good to see Ryan smile.

         "Come on Ry Ry, let's go get geared up. You too Tay. It was nice meeting you Peyton." I spoke smiling at the girls and waving. They smile and wave back while I go and walk towards the small shack that held the supplies.

         "You guys ready to get beat by a girl?" I asked as I strapped myself in with a smirk. Ryan and Taylor both had smirks of their own on their faces as they strapped in.

         "Not a chance Ari." Ryan said and I couldn't ignore the leap my heart did at the name he gave me. Smiling at my brothers I put my foot on the ledge of the closest rock and muttered a quick 'go' ignoring their protest of unfairness and took off leaving them in the dust. They cursed after me as I reached for another ledge. Stupid boys would never catch up to me. I laughed when Taylor cussed extra loud and looked down to see him slowly sliding down and a rock about the side of my had falling beneath him. Loose rocks were always a problem for them since they weighted a good eighty pounds heavier than me. Me being light on my toes I reach far -a little too far- for the next ledge and my foot slipped.

Giving a small yelp a hand rested against the bottom of my back and kept me planted against the mountain. Looking down I saw Ryan with a slightly panicked look  in his eyes as his big palm pressed against my tiny body. Shooting him a thankful look I made sure my foot was now fully planted on a different rock before letting him fully let me go. It felt nice to have those dull tingles in my body again. Unlike when you touch your mate these tingles weren't attention grabbing or aratic, they were dull and comforting. The Moon Goddess put him there to ensure that siblings would be able to find comfort in one another. That is the reason Ryan never touches me anymore.
