Writer's POV
Rivera's apartment....! 9:30pm...!
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The loud banging on the door woke Joshua up from sleep, he rushes out of his room into the living room.
"Who is f$*king tryna pull down the door?!" He growls.
"Josh, it's me!" He hears Dylan's voice from outside.
He walk towards the door and opens it, making way for Dylan to come in.... Dylan rushes in and shuts the door quickly.
"What are you doing here at this late hour?"
"Josh, did you feel it?" Dylan asked.
Joshua frown.
"Felt what?"
"Our sister!"
"Our sister?!" Josh's eyes grows wide. "Did something happen to Stacey?"
Dylan shuts his eyes and shake his head at Dylan's dumbness.
"Stacey's being marked?!"
"Marked?"
"Yes! Raymond has marked her!"
Josh's frown deepens.
"How did you know that?"
Dylan rolls his eyeballs.
"Josh, it's normal for us to feel our Alpha's emotions...like when our Alpha is angry, sad or happy we all feel it"
Josh nod and wait for him to continue.. Dylan gulps and rushes towards the kitchen, he opens the fridge and takes out a bottle of water.
He gulps it down and puffs out some air from his mouth.
"It's the same thing as when he's marked our Luna, we'll feel his excitement... we'll feel the joy in him!"
"Oh!"
"Don't tell me you didn't feel it!"
"I wasn't paying attention to my feelings, so I didn't feel it"
Dylan sits on a couch and toss the empty bottle randomly.
"If she's being marked, that means... they've mated!"
He jumps up and pumps his fist.
"Yeah! My baby sis is now a woman! A full grown woman! Finally!" He yells, cheering and jumping around.
"Wait, you said they mated too?" Josh asked.
"Huh!" Dylan nods.
"Then why the fuck are you happy?" Josh asked feeling somewhat annoyed.
"Yeah, it's good news!"
Josh shakes his head and starts pacing to and fro in the living room... Dylan looks at him feeling surprise as to why he's getting worried.
"She's just 18 how can she...you know....do that now?"
"18 Josh, not 8, she's an adult already!"
"No, she's not. She's our little sister and our parents left her under our care...."
"Josh, you're simply getting yourself worked up...our little sister is not little anymore... she's got a mate and it's certain they must mate someday!" Dylan explained.
"No, it's too early for her to mate...what if something happens to her?"
Dylan folds his arms on his chest.
"What do you think would happen to her after mating with her mate?"
"A lot of things...what if her body is too weak and she pass out? What if she couldn't keep up with the alpha...you know, she haven't mated with anyone before...what if she doesn't know how to mate?"
Dylan laughs at his brother's thought.
"She doesn't need to learn how to mate, her mate will teach her and she won't pass out!"
Josh stays silent for a few minutes and all kinds of scenarios flashes through his mind.
He shakes his head.
"No! Let's go check on her and make sure she's fine!"
"Check on her?! Do you have a death wish?!"
"What do you mean?"
Dylan hold his right shoulder.
"Bro, I know you don't love me but I love you...the alpha just marked his mate, do you think he'll let you near her?"
"Huh?"
"Right now he's super possessive, he sees anyone that will come near his mate as a threat..brother or not!"
Dylan sits back on the couch and throws his legs on the table.
"I'd advice you wait until tomorrow before you see her!"
"But she....."
"Wait until tomorrow morning!"
Dylan closes his eyes and huming a tone to himself happily.
Josh simply sits next to Dylan with a worried expression.
"Bro, you worry too much on everything!" Dylan laughs.
Stacey's POV
Ray's mansion...! Next morning....!
"Do you really have to go to school today?" Ray asks me for the hundredth time.
I ignore him this time and continue combing my hair... I let it down to cover the mark Ray gave me.
"If I were you I'd stay in today!" He grumbles and hugs me from behind.
He snuggles his nose in my neck, sniffing and breathing on his mark on my neck... unwanted sparks runs through my veins.
I push him away from me because if I don't, it will surely lead to something else... if you know what I mean.
I haven't recover from last night, I'm still kinda limping.
"Ray, this is my final year, I can't simply skip school because I was deflowered last night!"
"But no one will query you for skipping school for a few days!"
I rolled my eyes... Of course no one can scold me for skipping, I'm alpha's mate after all.
"Yeah, no one will query me, but my grade will. What if I graduate with a bad grade? How am I gonna get admitted into my dream school?"
I look at myself in the mirror and smile.. I saw him through the mirror too, he's frowning with his mouth slightly open.
"Are you gonna further your education?"
"Of course!"
I wanna be an accountant. There's a moment of silence as both Ray and I didn't say a word.
But it didn't take long for Ray to break the silence.
"You don't need to further your education, you know!"
I raised an eyebrow and turn to face him.
"Why shouldn't I? How else would I get a job in the future?"
"You don't need to look for job, you're the Luna queen and all you have to do is take care of the pack" he said.
Is he being serious?
"Are you saying I should be an illiterate Luna?"
"No, that's not what I meant.. I'm rich, you are my mate and I can take care of you, you don't need any school degree for anything!"
I scoff.
I know he's rich but that's his money not mine... I wanna go to school and get a degree and work for my own money.
I don't wanna be the kind of woman that'll wait on her man for everything she needs.
"If you further your education, it's gonna be wasted!"
I frown.
"Why? What makes you think it's gonna be wasted?"
"Take my mom as an example, she's an educated woman but all she ended up doing is staying in the pack and helping my dad with running the pack!"
I pick a hair clip and wear it on my hair, I apply some lipgloss and smile.
"You've said it all, she's helping your dad run the pack... Yeah, I know she's not working outside the pack or working to make money... "
I trail off as I bend down to wear my sneakers.. Ray stops me instead and is helping me wear it.
"... but at least, she's using her knowledge to help your dad. At least with the knowledge she derived from school, she could interpret report and analyse somethings!"
He gets up after wearing my sneakers on me, I carried my bag and he takes it from me...he flings it on his shoulder.
"But, it's.... "
"That's enough, Ray. I'm going to further my education and that's final"
He doesn't say a word and sighs. I look at the clock and gasp.
"We're late, let's go!"
He quickly follows me and I hear him mutters something under his breath.
"There are gonna be lots of guys over there!"
I shake my head.
Seriously, that's his only worry... Jealous freak!
