The Blonde Archer

I raised my eyebrow," what is a chocolate and coffee mix?" I tried to sniff the air but nothing, "all I can smell is grass and sweat."

"Mate" - that's all she said before she took off into the night crowd, leaving me alone amid wolves and my dangerous thoughts.

I just stared in the direction she went through. First, there were two now there is only one.

I walked towards the refreshment area trying my best to smell out any smell that could be my mate, even though I entered this grounds not even a couple of minutes ago with the mindset that I would not find my mate, I was begging for one now. Never did I think that Viola and I would find our mates at different times, everything we did, everything we got, always happened together in sync....well everything until now. I couldn't stand the thought of having to go on for the next days in the end alone. The best thing about being twins is you always had someone behind your back. Now...

Causally I searched the area. Lovestruck couples waddling about. Mateless males trying to attract some sort of fun for the night.

I tried to contact Vi to find out where she was. But nothing she blocked our twin link, I couldn't read her thoughts, sniff her out all I knew is that she was safe.

A few more hours passed now. The clock was racing seven. Many more people found their mates, many more people were happy. People that did not include me.

Everyone was starting to go home, whether the home was home or a new place.
It was expected for me to go home with a mate, sadly I didn't reach that expectation. Not like it was unusual.

My wolf whimpered as we walked back to the direction we know as home....mateless.

Upon reaching home, I set my stuff down in the front foyer. The house is quiet and I could tell that Viola was not home. She always was laughing, playing instruments, or just talking.
I walked inside the living room. Dad was reading the paper and mum sat silently next to him ..but there was no Viola. There was sharp pain when I realized she wasn't here... gone with her mate. Leaving me, her twin without the simplest of goodbyes.

"Violet Honey you are back! How did it go." She came and wrapped me in a mother Bear hug. She kept glancing behind me, trying to spot the unknown.

"Ma. MA I never find him...Viola is she here?" I could feel my voice starting to shiver.

"Oh hun I am sorry...there is always next time."
I rolled my eyes.

"And Viola?"

"Oh, honey she left, with Reese about an hour ago."

"She left? But she never even see me or introduce him to me. Nothing! Is that the way to treat your twin?"
I blew out all under one breathe. Saying it to myself but with werewolf hearing knowing everyone else was listening in.

"Letz you are overreacting." My dad stated, using my childhood nickname.

"Honey, is it your time of the month?"

My cheeks heated as a stared at them. "So you don't think that what she did was wrong. Hell, I don't even know her mate or where she is now or even if she is in the same pack? I don't know anything...and that's sad."

I quickly pushed past my parents and ran towards my bedroom, falling flat into my bed in tears.

Overreaction that's what they might be thinking.
But think about it. Think hard and long. The one best friend you always had from the time you were born, the one person who always stuck up for you through everything. She was the only one I could talk to and vice versa: when I was bullied or when she got a bad grade.

We planned our whole life from when we were five, we planned on finding our mates to our weddings. We even forced our father to teach us fighting skills, so we not dependent on our mates.

Yet she never even have the decency to introduce me. Yes, maybe I am overreacting. It is my negative trait and I accept that.

I groan, " my thoughts themselves I soo messed up, I can't even decide if I'm angry at myself for wanting a mate or angry at Viola for not waiting for me.

Hell, maybe I am due for my period.
