Unexpected Soulmates

Chapter 2

Ravenna POV

   "Are you going to the party Ravenna?" My friend Rue asks. Hooking her leg around my neck trying to get me to the ground. I wrap my arms around her waist, pulling down we both roll. Separating and going back into defensive stance. 

   "Not by choice I have been ordered to go by Phillip." Rue face goes blank. "Yep he says it is time that I find my Mate, said that he has a good feeling I will find it there. Says he saw visions of it, but won't say much else." I step forward, landing a punch to her stomach. 

   "You know he is never wrong about his visions, you have to do this Rav. If you go back on it, then you know that you lose your position. It is either you show you are trying to find your mate, or you find them. I don't want your Brother to be Alpha." I am shocked she uses that to her advantage and grabs me into a headlock. "So get out of your head and do this." I tap out, she lets go. 

   "Okay I know that, I am going to go and put on this show." She thinks it is over and I sweep her legs causing her to fall. "Tell everyone to be ready by 5 because it is going to be a drive." She gets up giving me a death glare. "What you let your guard down, now go get ready it is already 1." She huffs and runs alongs. While I head back to the house trying to figure out what to expect. Ever since I was little my Father has taught me to be self-reliant, that knowing yourself will help you be a leader. 

   The whole mate thing goes against all those teachings. Building myself to be this way, now they want me to find someone that is supposed to be my other half. Someone that I can lean on, that will help along the way. Just seems like a cop-out to me, but everyone wants me to find them. Rue is right if I don't find them soon that my Brother gets my position. He has his mate, from what I have heard he has been talking to Father about it. He has always been mad that I was chosen over him, he said that we are twins so the whole coming out first thing is bullshit. 

   He is just mad that a Woman is going to be Alpha. Flopping down on my bed, I look up at the ceiling wishing my mom was still here. She would know what to do now, but complications during birth gave me a little sister but took Mom away. "Sis can you please help me" I hear Luna ask from my doorway. 

   "Yes sweetie come here" she has a book in her hand, she passes it to me. 

   "Ms. Weather gave me this for homework, said for us to write about the Great War." Looking down at her school book. "It's just I don't know where to begin, I have been trying to start since yesterday." 

   Putting down her book and looking at her "because that book just gives me facts, come with me I will show you what you need for this." I get up and take her hand, walking her to the library. Once there I grab the latter placing it where I need it. "You see this library has all the stories for the War, some even from the point of view of Warriors." Grabbing just the right books for her, she has never been one to do good with fact. This will do much better for her. I hand her them "now these should do just the trick, if you need anything else don't hesitate to ask." 

   She gives me one of her sweet smiles "thank you sis." Hugging me and running away. Guess it is time to get ready for this. Returning to my room, I open my closet grabbing my red suit. I hate dresses, always afraid my butt will show. Laying it down on my bed going to take a shower. I start the shower as I take off my clothes, telekinesis the power I was given. I don't use it much, just for little things. Or if I am in a serious situation. Getting in, I am unable to shake this feeling. 

   As if something bad is on the way, but maybe it is just this party thing that I am being forced to go to. Or maybe you are right Ravenna trust yourself. Iris my very vocal wolf tells me. I never said nothing bad is coming, just that this feeling maybe it is stress, hush. I hear her huff getting out, I dry off, wrapping a towel around myself. Walking out I sit down at my mirror, I gather my hair into a loose ponytail. Then just put mascara, and my mom moon necklace, then the suit goes on. Looking at the clock I see that it's 3, deciding to head to Rue's house. Walking down the stairs I see my Father walking in the door.
