Soul Mate

Chapter 3

River's pov

When I dragged Bay out of the park, I didn't stop till we made it to her family's cabin just across the park. I dragged her tiny body through the threshold into their living room.. I was that upset.
"Sweet goddess what the fuck was that for! " She exclaims as she rubbed her wrist which she had successfully wrenched from my grasp.
"You didn't even let me finish my smoothie River! "She adds at the top of her lungs.
Goddess this girl was so loud! That, coupled with seeing Sebastian with his tongue down satin's throat was giving me a terrible migraine.
Ignoring her, I walked through her living room straight to the kitchen and patched myself on an island stool. She followed me with one of her signature scowls plastered on her face..
"Baby boo, please wipe that scowl off your pretty face, it doesn't suit you." I say as I drop my head on the kitchen island.

"Okay spill, I know that look on your face. What's up?" Bay finally says as she climbs onto the stool next to me.
I look at her, all my sorrow written on my face.
" It's Bash. While at the park Satin came around, and sweet goddess Bay! The look on his face was one of pure joy. I can't even turn green with envy because that girl is a saint. And here I am lusting after her man" I say.
Bay just looks at me with a sympathetic look as she rubs my back. After a while she sighs and says, " am so sorry that you have to go through this River. And I hate to be the bearer of bad news but that man is taken. If satin isn't his mate, there will be another. And you can't just sit around mopping as the guy carries on with his life. Let it go, the moon goddess blessed you with a mate and he's out there. Trust me. He will love you like no man's business"
"Thanks Bay.. you say the sweetest things" I tell her. She then throws her arms around me in a side hug. And I burry my face in her neck. Goddess why does everything have to be so hard.. I think to myself.
"Bay, you need to let go now.. your squashing me" I mumble as I try to wiggle out of her hold. I wonder where she gets all that energy from.. she's so tiny!
"Baby boo... I need to get to work it's coming to 9am." I try again

"Am trying to give you a comfort hug and your complaining!! So much for caring," bay says sarcastically as she finally let's go. I just roll my eyes, hopped off the stool and walked out the kitchen. I needed to get to work! As I reach the door Bay screeches.." you forgot something!"
Oh shit
I run back in the kitchen, place both my hands on the sides of her face and place a quick peck on her lips. She smiles sweetly at that.
" I love you.. your the best." I say as i walk away backwards.
"I know" she simply says.
I just wink and finally walk out of her cabin. When I reach out, I sprint all the way home. I don't stop until am standing on our front porch. Am not even breathless and I haven't broken a sweat. Bay's cabin is ten cabins away from mine by the way and the road isn't straight. Not to brag or anything but I could probably outrun usain bolt.. am on form. Am the fastest thing on two legs. My mom's words not mine. Since I couldn't shift, l learnt how to survive in human form, my dad made sure of it. I could run twice as fast as any wolf in their wolf form. And I was proud of it.
When I enter our cabin, I smell pancakes. I follow the scent to the kitchen where I find my mom at he stove, expertly flipping them. My elder sister Greta is at the dining table flipping through magazine with a glass of orange juice infront of her.
When she sees me, she lowers the magazine and gives me a once over.
" Wow, the lost bird finally comes back to the nest!"she says with a sickenly sweet smile on her face. It almost gave me diabetes.
I ignored her, taking a seat at the table. My mom comes and places a plate of pancakes infront of me.

"Heyy baby. You were up again for your early morning surveillance again." She comments as she places a kiss on my forehead.
Surveillance.. that's what she calls my early morning escapades to avoid embarrassing me. Goddess bless her soul. Everyone in my household knows about my obsession with the future alpha.
I just sigh and start to eat my pancakes not saying a thing. My sister  must have picked up on my mood because the next thing I know, her sweet smile is wiped off her face and replaced with a cute little frown. Then she's tucking strands of my shoulder length hair behind my ear.

"Don't dwell on it. It will be okay."  She quietly says. I just nod and try to eat my pancakes with an extra effort to hold the water works. When am done, I tell her to give me 20minutes to get ready so we could go to the dinner to join dad. As I leave the kitchen, I see my mom giving Greta a questioning look, but Greta just tells her she'll handle it. My family owns the dinner and bakery in town, we are just ordinary wolves with no rank so we don't have many pack responsibilities. Our job is to put up appearances for the humans that find their way to StreamVille. But we do this with love, my dad is the best chef and mom is a great Baker. My sister and I just love it all. We got the best of both worlds.
Upstairs, I take a quick shower and rummage through my closet for what to wear. I settle on distressed overalls with a white t shirt underneath. I throw on my denim jacket, grab my vans and fly down the stairs. I don't even bother with my hair.. I don't have to try too hard with it. It's naturally perfect. The Blair's have the best hair. Silky and smooth. It's the type of hair that ladies do despicable things for. Trust me, it's that good.
I rush into the kitchen, give my mom a kiss on the cheek and rush back screaming how much I love her. I run out the front door ready to do one of the many things I love, other than Sebastian. Baking!
