7.

I hugged my knees and cried into the soft fabric. A soft knock echoed through the room as I cried.

"What?"

"Hey, uh, you okay? Can I come in?"

"Alexis?" I sniffed.

"Yeah, it's me. Can I come in?" I stood and cracked the door open. She pushed it enough to get her head in.

"Heeeyyyy. How are you?" I whipped my head around to look at her.

"That's what I thought. So, I kind of bribed the bartender and got this." She held up a bottle of champagne and two glasses.

"Wanna drown your sorrows?" I nodded my head and held out my hand.

"So, I saw what happened."

"Everyone saw!" I wailed, flopping onto the bed.

"Can you believe this? Like, why? Why? I don't understand!"

"I wish I could say I know. I can't. The whole mate thing is so weird."

"But Summer? My twin sister? If Liam isn't my mate, then who is? Is there anyone for me?"

"Oh, I'm sure there is!" She exclaimed, adding me a champagne flute.

"This honestly sucks."

"Yeah, it does. Like big time. I feel so lost and empty now. How can I go back to school now? I can't face everyone!"

"It's not that bad." I rolled my eyes while chugging the bubbly in my glass.

"It's worse than bad. It's completely humiliating. My boyfriend is mated with my sister, and he 'marked her', in public."

"Yeah, that is pretty bad. I doubt anyone's going to care though."

"Alexis, they're going to care. They're going to talk about it. The future alpha mated with his girlfriend's sister. This is the biggest news to hit the pack in years." She sat next to me and put an arm around my shoulders.

"If anyone says anything, you want me to beat them up? I can do that."

I let out a small chuckle. "No. Just give me more champagne."

"I don't think anyone would really blame you if you took a few days off of school. Since we are graduating in just a few short months, maybe there's a way that you could rework your entire schedule to not go to class."

"How would that be possible?"

"So, you know I work in the office as an

office aide."

"Yeah," I said.

"I happen to know some rules when it comes to senior wolves and their schedules."

"What kind of rules?" I queried.

"A rule that says the wolf with the highest grades, who is eighteen and desires to run for local council after graduation, they can work closely with the head of the strategy department and not go to class."

"I do like strategy," I mumbled.

"And Council President is Daniel. He's knowledgable and nice."

"Indeed."

"Yeah, that can work. I can do that. But I am definitely taking like two weeks off of going back to that place. I don't want to see anyone." As we sat on the bed the door flew open. Summer jumped up and down in the doorway.

"What do you want?" I growled.

"Oh my god! Can you believe it Winnie ? The future alpha mated with me!"

"Yeah, I ******* know. My boyfriend. Now get the **** out. I don't want to see you."

"What? You're not happy for me?"

"Are you dense? You want me to be happy for you? You ruined my life! I never want to speak to

you or him ever agian! Get the hell out!" Her smile vanished as she stood staring at me.

"But, you're my sister."

"Was... I was your sister. Now beat it."
