Chapter Nine

A few weeks later Bree, Cassie and I were hanging out in my room. We were waiting on parts for the car again so we decided to spend some time at my house. It was one of the rare times when they left the boys at home. I was glad as there were a few questions that had been bothering me since the big reveal that needed to be answered.

“Hey Cassie,” I asked from my desk. She was sprawled out on my bed reading a magazine.

“Yeah?” she asked but didn’t look up. Bree sat on the floor and painted her toe nails. I’d questioned earlier if the strong smell of nail polish bothered them but she shrugged it off. She said some things were worth putting up with.

“Your parents,” I paused before continuing, “they said they were mates. Does that mean for life? Or if one dies they can be with another? How does that work with you guys?”

“Wow. Deep subject for a Saturday morning.” Bree breathed as she looked up from her toes. Cassie sat up and regarded me for a second before answering.

“Wolf shifters are much like their animal counterparts.” She said to answer my question. “We search for our mate, hoping we find the one that we call a lifemate.”

“Meaning, a mate for life?” I asked, just to be sure.

“Yes. My parents are lifemates.” Cassie nodded. “Most wolves find their lifemates. That one person that was meant just for you. Those that don’t marry someone they care for deeply.”

“Are lifemates hard to find?”

“Not usually, no. Since we are in touch with our wolves, we can scent them when they are near or we come in contact with them. It’s an awareness that is unlike anything you’ve ever experienced, or so I’m told.” Cassie said.

“So, neither of you have met your lifemate?” I asked as I looked between Cassie and Bree. Bree answered first.

“No. Wolves can only scent their lifemate after they turn 18. Something about giving each mate time to mature and be ready for a serious relationship.”

“When do you guys turn 18?” I asked.

“Next spring. Bree’s birthday is in April, mine and Cade’s is in March.” Cassie replied.

“What about Brody and Hunter?” I asked.

“They turned 18 already.”

“Really?” I asked shocked.

“Yeah, last summer.”

“Oh.” I paused before asking, “Have either of them found their lifemate yet?”

“No, you’d know if they had. They wouldn’t be able to spend much time apart. They might not find their mate for a couple years anyway. They can’t scent their mate until she is at least 18 too. So if one of their mates is like, 16, then they have a couple years before they’ll know.”

“What if one of you is their mate?” I asked with raised eyebrows. Bree blushed and Cassie laughed.

“No way.” Cassie giggled. “Neither one appeals to me. They’re great as friends but I’m not attracted to them any more than that.”

“I’m sure Cade is happy about that.” I commented.

“Yeah, he can be a pain. But when I turn 18, I’m going hunting.
