My heart is racing. The room is silent. Benvolio has an suggestive grin on his face as he waits for me at the bottom of the stairs. My eyes drifted to my parents, older brother and younger sister just behind Benvolio and my mother was in tears. I copied Benvolio's grin and finally made it to him.

The time we've all been waiting for has arrived.

Benvolio enveloped me in a huge hug as he kissed me and the room held their breath. We pulled away and he's curious brown eyes looked into my blue-grey ones. No lust, connection, or intensity was present.

My heart dropped.

My wolf upturned her nose at Benvolio being so close and immediately rejected him. She wanted him to put me down so we could finally find our true mate.

"We're mates!" Benvolio called out proudly.

'Thanks for saving me the embarrassment.' I said to Benvolio through my mindlink.

'You're welcome C.' he replied with a smile, keeping his hand securely on my waist, dissapointment radiating off him. 'Now lets go find your real mate.'

He's so helpful and forgiving, even if I was just another pack member to a beta.

As we pivoted to search for my mate, a delicious smell wafted through my alert nostrils. A throaty laugh made my heart nearly explode. I really didn't think of who's it was at first.

"Congrats Clau," my brother, Tucker, said with a tight smile. Five years ago, Tucker didn't find his mate at his own seeking and he hasn't been so outgoing ever since.

"Tuck I-" I glanced around, seeking out that smell. "Ben's not my mate. He only said that because it would've been really embarrassing."

Tucker was silent. "Oh dear Claudia," Tucker bit his lip. "I'm so sorry, I bet you'll find him," he smiled once again and gave my shoulder a knowing squeeze.

Our eyes widened as we made contact and my lungs felt empty as sparks coursed through my arm. I observed his face as time seemed to stop. I had never truly realized how handsome Tucker was. He has the same clouded blue-grey eyes, same dark chocolaty brown hair as I did, but the rough, sharp, masculine features in his face were the most beauty I've seen in all my years.

His height was perfect for me, 6'5 to 5'10, yeah mother and father had birthed tall children, and his weight was just right. He was toned in all the right places, but not buff like the Alphas. Sure his arms and legs were muscled but his thighs were where it was at.. Oh my God his thighs. What about-

"Done drooling over your brother?" Benvolio chuckled softly and took his arm off of me.

"I-"

"Claudia. We can't do this. This is WRONG." Tucker took a step back, making my wolf whimper.

"You said Claudia as if this was MY fault.." I looked at the floor. "You KNOW this was meant to be Tucker, or it would've never happened." I say with force.

"We can't." Tucker snaps and Benvolio stares at him in astonishment.

"We CAN!" My wolf butts in.

"SHH! Claudia!!!" Tucker hisses, clamping his hand over my mouth.

"What seems to be the problem Mr.Bailey?" The Queen asks with a smile, her blond trendles framing her face and her perfectly straight white teeth sparkling.
