"Not really. That feeling is hard to argue with but..." I look down at myself and look at him.

"Do not even start on that, come on." I followed him down as he practically jogged toward them. He was grinning wide and smiling like a weirdo when he stopped in front of them holding up the entire line of Omega's. The female grinned and shook her brothers arm.

"I told you that I was sure they were here. Look at these two. They are ours." she says and practically jumps into Brock's arms. The male looks me over blushing slightly.

"Your sibling as enthusiastic as mine has been?" he smiled and nodded. I held out my hand. Would I feel the spark if he touched me. His hand slid into mine. Sure enough a roll of power and longing rolls through me. He is smiling so happy but really nervous. I turned to Brock.

"Come on. Lets get out of the way." he is still holding the female, bridal style, in his arms. With the male's hand in mine I lead the way out of the tent. As we get outside and to one side she wiggles and gets down from his arms to come over and raise up to hug me.

"You are so cute. I kept telling him that we were going to meet our mates and he kept telling me I was nuts." I laughed. She bounced to her brother and shook him. "I told you."

"Yes, so I see." she turns her hand in his.

"By the way, I'm Ellia this is my twin brother Ellis."

"I'm Brock, my twin brother Jaime."

"Identical?" she asks giggling.

"Lia, behave." Ellis admonishes.

"Party pooper. Better they learn my sense of humor now then later." Brock had been right, they both had identical light gray eyes. Hers danced in amusement and he was frowning at her worry knotting his brow. I tried to give my least frightening smile and held out my hand to him. His slid into it easily.

"Why don't we take a walk and talk. Those two can bounce around and be spectacles." he smiles and nods. While he strolls slowly, his hand in mine. The other two bounce around playing games eating non stop and laughing almost the entire time. As lunch came around we ordered a whole rotisserie chicken to eat plus a pizza as well. We sat and talked while we ate. We were talking about our families when we get an unexpected surprise. Our father and mother step up. They'd been staying close to the main tent with social entertainment.

"Mom." I say.

"Dad." Brock says.

"Can we help you?" we say in unison.

"Yes introduce me or I'll introduce myself." mom says giving my ear a flip. She did it when she was irritated with me.

"This is Ellis, and Ellia Walker. Formerly of the Red Oak pack. Our parents John and Allison Morris. Former Alpha and Luna of our pack." Brock introduced them. Ellia was grinning and jumped up to hug them Ellis stood slowly and nodded politely.

"It is so great to meet you. Your sons were telling us all about the pack and telling us all about becoming leaders. They talked so highly of you both. It's like we know you already. So wonderful." mom laughs.

"Well that's good. I won't have to spank them then." Ellia wiggles her eyebrows at me.

"Ooh if they need it let me." mom laughs.

"Oh I like you. So they met you on the parade?"

"Yes." I say rolling my eyes. "He was right about the parade so he's been gloating." I say looking at my brother.

"You should know better then to doubt me."

"Yeah. Right." I reply rolling my eyes.

"Alright you two don't start." dad says. "How about you get some more chicken and we can get to know these two. Move over." dad says sitting next to Ellis and mom shoves me down so she and Ellia can sit together and gossip. We sit through another chicken and then some barbecue. I'm noticing that Ellis is getting tired, twice he's stifled yawns and trying to make sure that no one noticed. Probably was worried about breaking up the party. I stand only drawing dads eyes.

"I'm getting tired. Ellis want to go find a drink with me?" he seems surprised but thankful as he steps back from his chair.

"You'll be okay?" Ellia asks her brother with a worried look.

"Yes." he says blushing. I tuck his hand in mine and head for a tent with drinks. I get a bottle of water and Ellis gets a sweet tea.

"You looked ready to get away from there. It gave me an excuse to runaway. I love my family but they make me tired and cranky sometimes." I tease. He giggles shyly and lets me take his hand.

"Do you and Ellia have a tent nearby?"

"We are staying with the Omega's in the big pasture." I turned and headed that way.

"Is it nice being an alpha?" he asks me after a moment.

"Eh, it's okay. Kind of stressful but I like being able to take care of our pack and protect them."

"Hopefully Ellia and I can help you both to relax."

"I hope so as well." I was debating on whether to offer to get him some dessert on our walk to his tent when I feel two hands give me a shove from behind.
