Daniel

I basically sleep walk to the dining hall. I was distraught, confused, bothered and bewildered. And it showed it on my face. I mean, it was basically plastered all over it.

"Are you OK, cariño? Did you sleep well?" - My mom asked as I began eating, she clearly saw that something's wrong. And so could anyone, to be fair.

"Yeah brother, you look like you saw a ghost or something." - Nate chimed in, also noting how baffled I looked.

"I'm fine. Just had a weird dream." - I replied, my face still gobsmacked.

"Again? What happened in this one?" - Nate replied with a worried look.

"Nothing much, don't worry about it." - I tried to tranquilize him. I didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

"Did you have a weird sex dream with Lauren?" - Denise snickered. My parents' faces looked disgusted. My mom was just about to say something to her when I let it slip:

"It wasn't with her, it was with..." - I stopped myself and realized it was almost too late. But the bomb had already been dropped. Everyone's mouths are agape. The look on my family's faces as they processed what I had just revealed was of utter shock.

But everyone at the table was shocked, not just them.

It's worth noting that dreams are the way the Goddess showed us who our mates are beforehand. That is, before we turn 18. But only a select few are blessed to get them. Usually, it happens to ascending Alphas like me.

In fact, every single Huntington Alpha knew who his mate was gonna be before 18, including my dad.

And his mate lived in another town. Yes, my mom came here from El Paso. However, that doesn't mean that this was a mate dream. Not necessarily. And honestly, that's what I'm counting on.

"I've told you. You owe me 20 bucks." - My mom bragged to my dad, so smug I couldn't bear it.

"Stop it, mom! That doesn't mean anything! It's just a dream!" - I tried to convince her. But that was everything she wanted to hear, apart from the actual reveal of my mate.

"Oh, I wonder what Lauren will think of this?" - Denise tormented me, but when I heard her say that, I snapped.

"If you tell Lauren this, the first thing I'm gonna do as Alpha is to ban women from being warriors, I swear to Goddess!" - I was so angry, so scared. I knew that would kill her.

All the warriors at the table stared at me in shock. Hell, everyone at the table looked at me, baffled. My sister stood up and left, incredibly distraught. My parents are looking at me disappointed. After a moment, I tell everyone:

"I apologize to all of you that you had to hear this. I would never actually ban women from being warriors. I just said that to get to my sister. But I know it's wrong of me to say. And I'm really sorry." - I looked at every single person present and shot them an apologetic glance.
