Colby Brock is my what?

So close

Fucking hell!  My dad wants me to die, right?

Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating, but still, is not right of him to restrain me like that, like firstly I'm 17, and secondly is my SOULMATE for crying out loud.

Anyways, I was in my room with Colby packing, when we heard a knock on my door. My brother came in soon after.

"Hey baby sis, heard from mom that out of the blue you're moving to Los Angeles, mind sharing with your older brother how and why you didn't tell me?" Did I mention he doesn't know about werewolves?
"Yeah, I'm sorry I didn't say anything! Is just that it all happened so fast and you were so busy with your college stuff and barely even stopped at home."  Was my excuse.
"But why? You're still in the middle of your last year, why go now and lose the experience?" He insisted.
"I..." Honestly didn't know what to say.
"She got a scholarship to UCLA and if she doesn't go now, she risks losing it." Colby cut in saving my ass.
" And who are you?" My brother asked raising one eyebrow only now realizing that we weren't the only ones on the room.
"I'm a student there, majoring in music, and since I am also in a scholarship, they though it would be a good idea to send me here and give the good news to April. My name is Cole Brock, but you can call me Colby" He smiled and held out his hand to shake my brothers' who hesitated to do the same.
"Nice to meet you Cole." He said sternly. "So if you're just the messenger, what the hell are you doing in my little sisters' room?" Did I also mention that he is a little bit overprotective?
"I-I thought she could use some help packing everything" He stuttered "But I swear I'm not up to anything bad, your father already warned me."

Well look at that. My mate, a big, strong alpha, is afraid of my brother, who by the way is two years younger then him.

"Better be. So A, when are you leaving?"
"Friday night" I said. 
"Damn, so soon! I'm going to miss you sis!" He then hugged me.
"Aw don't cry. I'll visit a lot and you can visit me too."
"Alright, I have to go now, but leave your Thursday night free. We are going on a brother-sister date." He smiled down at me and started to back away to the door.
"Deal" I smiled back and then he was gone, leaving the door open, which I closed when I was sure he wasn't coming back.

Colby and I continued to pack, stoping now and then when he asked me the story behind a few objects. We were quiet when I remembered something.

"Colby, what is the luna ceremony like?" I've been meaning to ask since the sleepover, but I guess I forgot.
"Oh, well, we will be in a room like the one from earlier today in alpha Edwards' pack, but a bit bigger since m-our pack has more members, and my mother will be with us on stage." He got up from his place on the ground and made his way towards me to half hug me so he could still look me in the eye " I will mark you to initiate our bond and then my mother will make a little cut on your left hand and one on my right hand, and then we will connect them together." He took my left hand in his to demonstrate "then you'll be asked to swear all of your good intentions towards the pack. Usually, the pack would go for a run with their new luna guiding, but because your situation is different, we'll see how it all goes." He smiled.
"Do you think they'll hate me?" The feeling of insecurity climbed in me making me look down. They will most probably have to change a bit tradition just because of me...
"Of course not! They will love you." He grabbed my face lightly and made me look at him again "And besides, your wolf is already responding so well, so maybe when the day of the ceremony arrives, you'll have shifted already." He smiled again looking at me, and now cupping both my cheeks with his hands.

His face was so close to mine, and his eyes were traveling between my eyes and my lips. His eyes were sparkling and I bet mine were too. Slowly, almost torturously so, he started to lean in and my eyes started to close. I felt his breath fanning my lips, but it disappeared before we could lock lips when the sound of my door hitting the wall startled us. I felt my face redden as I looked at my best friend who was standing at the door.

Colbys' POV

So close!

I was so close to kissing those beautiful lips. But NO the world just love to make me suffer.

I looked at Lydias' face with frustration written all over mine. She was looking at April, who was as red as the color of our eyes.

"Looks like I'm bad at timing" she muttered "But oh well, I'm here to help my best friend and to try to understand what is going on. Beta Sam and Kat are downstairs."

We both followed her downstairs and then into another door with more stairs, with I assumed led to the basement. The room was pretty big, with a leather grey couch forming an L and a big TV in front of it, with a mini fridge, and a door to a bathroom, and three closets full of games, movies and books. Sam and Kat were already sitting side by side on the couch waiting for us.

"So she is an alpha?" Sam asked when he locked eyes with me.
"Looks like it, but without knowing from which pack her grandmother was, we can't know anything for sure." I answered, sitting down and pulling April to sit beside me.
"Maybe my grandpa knows. After we settle down at your house, I can give him a call. But why does it matter which one it is?" April said.
"So when we settle down at our house you can do that." I kind of discreetly corrected her.
"An alpha who kicked out an heir must be punished by the elders." Sam said actually answering her question.
"Who are the elders?" She asked.
"The elders are a group of werewolves extremely powerful. They were the first of us to walk on earth, when they started to mate and make their own packs, the Moon Goddess cast a spell and made that they could return as spirits to make a sort of council to help any alpha in need of assistance, create rules to help our community, and of course punish those who do disrespect our rules, if the case is grave, which it is when a heir is kicked out." Kat explained calmly to my mate, who was listening with her whole attention.
"So now that everything is explained, lets go pack your stuff babes"
