Siblings

Selene’s Pov

I have been sat waiting for Arti and Cynth for like 30 minutes. My room is located on the second floor of the pack house usually this is reserved for people with high-ranking pack jobs like warriors or the Gammas family but as my sisters are mated to the beta and head healer, I was given special permission to have a room close to them. Arti’s room is the floor above and Cynth’s room is across the hall.

The room is quite large, and it has its own bathroom attached I have my bed and wardrobe all the bring stuff, but my favourite part has to window it has a big giant bean bag in the nook and the windows open outwards to see the view of the forest and mountains to the north, it’s the best place to watch the sun go down nestled in a giant bean bag with the windows wide open.

I am just starting to get restless when Seleste pops up

"Selene we've been waiting for them for sooo long can’t we just go and fine out the information later " he feels her impatience growing in the back of my mind.

"Seleste no we can’t you know how Arti gets she asked us to wait so we wait " I answer back coldly I know she just wants to run free we both love it the wind in our fur and the smell of the trees and I have to be honest the forest is looking pretty appealing right now.

"ugh! fine " and with that she closes our link and pushes back into my mind.

I am sitting here torn between running and waiting when I hear footsteps coming towards the door its them! finally.

I mind link Cynth "its open" She walks in her long hair flowing followed closely by Arti I swear sometimes they look they have a glow around them it is like they always catch good lighting.

Cynth walks up to me and gives me the biggest hug while Arti gets comfortable on the bed. Cynth eventually sits on the other side of the bed and I stare at them both.

"I guess I’ll sit on the bean bag then ... not like it’s my bed " I say with just a hint of sarcasm.

Arti raises her eye bows like she might say something, but she just laughs with Cynth smiling next to her. It is in these moments that I feel our bond the most the moments of silence when we are all just present in each other’s company. This silence lasts a little too long, so I speak up.

"So Arti what’s going on? " I look at her waiting for an answer but I see a puzzled look spread across her face and once of concern showing on Cynth’s .

"Look guys this isn’t funny what’s going on " I can tell there is something wrong now and I’m nervous .

Arti takes a deep breath "Look you are not going to like what I’m going to tell you but you have to just listen and trust me okay " she pauses and looks at me

I nod in agreement waiting to hear what she has to say she sounds so serious .I see Cynth give us both an encouraging look and she carries on .

"what dot heard about the silver moon border was correct they have been having issues with rogues up until now it’s only this one time that the silver moon have let it get out "She takes another breath

"it’s actually the 4th time and each time they come with a larger number than the time before . The silver moon warriors managed to chase one of the rogues down however they reached our border and met with Breda and Tom who were on patrol they questioned them about the rogue but there was no none there and the scent had gone our warriors didn't even catch a scent it’s like it vanished into thin air "

Arti looks and me and Cynth to make sure we are listening I know she would have heard this before but she listens intently anyway .

"with all this being said Alpha Eric has decided that we must increase training for the pack warriors and tighten our patrols at the borders .We don't know if they will try to attack us next but Eric wants to be ready " She stops and looks at Cynth and I know there is more to come .

Cynthia then speaks Her voice is softer than Arti’s as they don’t have the beta blood behind her " I’ve also been asked to increase the medical staff in the surgery teaching people basic first aid and healing techniques. With this in mind Arti and I .... " she is struggling to get the words that's when Arti steps back in.

"With all this in mind Selene, we don't want you wandering anymore we want you home in the pack house at 10.30 each night so we know you are safe. We just want you to make sure your safe and we know how free spirited you are and how you love to run by yourself. I hear the words they are saying, and I know they mean them with the best intentions, but this just feel like they do not trust me I can feel Seleste agreeing with me.

I can feel the anger growing in me I stare at them both and Cynth begins to speak again but I interrupt "you guys don't trust me to take care of myself? ... you know I am a capable fighter you know I can take care of myself" I stop and take a breath both are just looking at me.

I carry on more enraged that they are saying nothing." I’m assuming no one else has curfew restrictions?" I continue questioning them asking them why.

Cynthia’s POV

Myself and Arti where prepared for Selene to lose her temper at what we are asking of her. She carries on shouting at us and mind link Arti .

"Arti how are we going to explain this to her she is clearly upset that we are imposing restrictions on her movements it’s so hard " I know it’s what’s best for Selene she is too young to know the truth .

"Cynth you have to stay strong we cannot risk anyone knowing what she is , what we are !"

I know Arti is right , I look up I see Selene I can sense her anger her sadness and her disappointment think we don't trust her I’ve always been softer to Sel than Arti always letting her take control so I Selene does not think both of us are domineering .

With all the courage I can muster I stand "Selene! " I shout to get her to stop. She stares at me in shock Arti too.

"That's enough Selene we are not doing this because we don't trust you or think you are able; we are doing this because we cannot stand another loss. " I breath in feeling both their eyes on me." we are doing this because if anything ever happened to you, we would be broken the bond between us is more than a just a sibling bond we want to protect you! " Selene huffs at my words and again begins to battle with what she’s told why she can’t just listen.

I feel the anger growing and sadness growing in me I press my eyes shut and try to breath while Sel still argues. Then I hear her my wolf Cyrus.

"She is not listening Cynthia let’s just leave her, she doesn't understand the risks we are wasting time!"

"We cannot just leave her she has understand " I push Cyrus to the back of mind she has always been stronger than me. I open my eyes and I see Arti staring at me she knows when I have internal conflict, she senses is so does Selene but right now she is still arguing.

Suddenly I realize Selene has stopped talking and is staring between me and Arti. I know she is now feeling the tension between us.

The atmosphere in the room is cold and hard a far cry from when we entered, Arti then rises from the bed and begins to walk through the door. She turns on her heels looks at me and looks again at Selene.

Using her Beta voice she speaks "Selene you will do your beta commands, from now you will be home by 10.30 each night you will join the warriors training sessions and you will not wander alone. You are not to take go on a run unless it is with the packs on their designated runs. If you fail to follow these order's Selene, you will face the consequences like any other who is part of this pack " Her words were cold and direct her aura demanded that myself and Selene bow after she spoke. I know this was Arti’s last resort if she did not listen.

I know she did not want to do it this way, with that Arti left the room. I turned to look at Selene her emerald green eyes were full of tears she was looking up at me waiting for me to go to her to comfort her, but I cannot undermine Arti. We had to stay strong in this matter, I walk towards the door without speaking another word I gave Selene another glance she was crying no longer looking up, my heart felt heavy and I left the room closing the door softly behind me.
