"Oh! I completely forgot that you were here." Ouch, am I really that unimportant Alpha Phoenix? "Well, we're almost done with your transfer papers. You may to go see your family and friends and pack your things. Alpha Max is going to be leaving as soon as the alliance has been made, so you have about a day to get ready. You are dismissed." Max just kept quiet and continued to give me those weird stares through everything Alpha Phoenix said to me. I think I recognized one of them as... Contempt?

Meh, I'm not the best reader of faces so I could have just interpreted it wrongly. I mean, why would my mate; the other half of me that loves me till the end of the Galaxy, ever look at me in contempt or even disgust. It would be absurd.

Yup, definitely misread him. That's it.

I'm so caught up in my thoughts of my weird alpha mate as I walk in to Nicky's place, that I didn't even notice a pair of blue eyed twins and a petit blonde girl sneak up behind me. When I did, it was already too late as they already pounced on me and tackled me to the ground.

Welp, there goes my back.

"Argh, someone help me! I'm being attacked by three crazy people." I jokingly yelled as I tried to get them off me.

"Herye, herye, Queen Victoria The Great has fallen!" Seriously, Joshua is so dramatic, and he has a terrible fake British accent.

"We're going to miss you so much Tori." And I can't forget my overdramatic bestie.

"So, we're going to give you three months worth of hugs and cuddles since you're going to come visit us in three months, right?" John asked hopefully.

"Of course I will guys."

"That's good. Come on, let's all go to my house to help Tori pack her things because judging by the fact that your mate is an Alpha, I'm pretty sure he won't want to waste time to handle your transfer papers so that he can cuddle up with you in his pack." She said as we walked into her house.

"Yeah, you're right, and after packing we'll have one more night to have a sleepover since I'm leaving tomorrow according to Alpha Phoenix." I informed them as we entered my room and they helped me pack my stuff.

And I made sure that John and Joshua stayed far away from my underwear.

I love them but I swear that those two are the biggest perverts.

With their help I was done packing in no time and we started getting ready for our last sleepover, for now I hope.

We all gathered in the living room and John, Joshua and I were in a saluting pose as the three of us awaited our order from 'Commander Nicole'.

"Okay listen up soldiers, we have a very important mission to accomplish. We have to make this the best sleep over, so I'm going to give you all individual tasks to make this possible. Do I make myself clear?" She asked looking at all of us with the best serious look she could muster but I could clearly see the amusement in her eyes.

"Ma'am yes ma'am!" We replied in unison.

"Good." She pointed at John. "You go to the grocery store and get as many snacks as you can. Popcorn, Skittles, M&Ms, chocolate, any thing you can find and come back before 6 pm. Clear?"

"Ma'am yes ma'am!" He immediately took his took off out of the house after picking up his wallet from the desk.

"Ok. Joshua, you are to handle the movies and games. Pick out the best romance, comedy, horror and thriller movies you can find on Netflix. Also, go get your Xbox and VR headset and meet us back here at 6 pm. Is that clear?"

"Yes ma'am!" He took his car keys and left to get his assigned items.

"And last but most definitely not the least, Tori. You are coming with me. We will travel across the house and search for all the pillows, blankets and plushies we can find and we will bring them all back here so that we can make the biggest pillow fort ever. Let's go."

We've gathered all the things we'll need for the fort and the twins will be back soon. But something's wrong with Nicole, I may not be able to read other people, but I can tell when something's up with my best friend.

"Hey Nick, what's wrong?" I asked as we gathered the things we need for our pillow fort.

"Nothing." Yup, something is definitely wrong. And I think I have an idea of what it is.

"Is it about the mate issue?" I asked already knowing the answer.

"Yes." She mumbled quietly looking at the floor hugging the pillow in her hand close to her chest.

"Are you sad because you haven't found him yet?"

"Uh huh." She hummed.

"And you're scared that we won't see each other again now that I'm moving away." She nodded.

"You're also scared that John and Joshua will find their shared mate and leave you to live alone with your parents for the rest of your life?"

"Am I really that easy to read, Tori?" She asked surprised that I was able to guess what she was feeling.

"No. I've known you since we were in diapers, so it's easier for me to see through your act." We both chuckled at that.

"I'm just worried Tori." She sighed. "What if I actually never meet him and I end up living alone in my parents basement with a hundred cats for the rest of my life and die alone?"

"Don't worry about it Nicky. You won't die alone, you'll find him soon, I can feel it. And the twins and I will never abandon you, you're our best friend. And just because I'm leaving doesn't mean we'll never see each other again. I'm not saying goodbye, I'm saying see you later, because no matter what happens, I'll definitely see you again one day. So don't cry, you'll make me cry." I finished my speech sniffling and she was full of crying.

"Thanks, I needed that. You're the best friend ever Tori." She said giving me a hug.

Needless to say that we had the best sleepover ever. I also might or might not have stabbed John's hand when he tried to eat my Pringles. Don't worry, he'll heal...

Eventually.

And I definitely didn't forget about Nicky. Let's just say that she'll be needing a haircut very soon *wink* *wink*

One sleepover and many tears later, and I'm heading to the Blue moon pack. Strangely, I was put in a different car from Max.

I'm on my way to my new life to live happily with my mate.... Or so I thought.

If only I had known what was coming for me, I wouldn't have gone with him. I should have never left.
