Alphas Orphaned Mate

EMILYS P.O.V

My eyes fluttered open as I jumped in my seat as we currently were driving on a bumpy road in the middle of the Texas country side.

"Are we almost there?" I sighed from the back of my parents pickup truck that we had rented out.

"Emily, you've asked that over five times now" My brother Kyle exaggerated from beside me throwing his head back, he was as miserable as I was.

"Let's go to grandmas ranch for the summer, it'll be fun" I mocked from the backseat crossing my arms over one another.

I caught my mum rolling her eyes from the passenger seat, we had been over this multiple times when the topic was first brought up. At first I thought it would be fun, leaving the English country side only to realise we would be travelling to my grandmas house in the Texas country side, keep in mind in the middle of nowhere.

Also the trip may have sounded more enjoyable if it was only for a week or so, not the whole summer which meant missing out hanging about with my friends, attend parties and do what teenage girls do in the summer.

But it had been decided, my whole family was going to Texas for the whole summer, two months which I hope will go faster than what I think.

"Come on, Em look on the bright side, I heard grandmas got a few new horses" My dad piped up staring at me threw the window mirror.

"How fun, hopefully there will be horse crap and everything" I smiled sarcastically closing my eyes and leaning my warm head against the cooling window.

I stared up at the ranch, it was just like I remembered since I was last here, let's just remind you I was ten so that was around seven years ago, just great this was going to be one long summer.

"Oh Em, look how big you've gotten!" My grandma gushed from the front porch rushing over to me.

Her warm skin wrapped around my small frame as she embraced me into a gentle hug, I guess I haven't seen the women since I was a child so I barley remembered her or what she looked like.

"Did your parents tell you I've got new horses?" She grinned letting go of me but still keeping me at arms length.

"Yeah" I smiled nodding before my dad handed my one of my few suitcases I had brought with me.

She smiled before turning to Kyle who was currently what looked like trying to find service, also another downside of being here, no service what so ever, not only am I not spending summer with my friends but now I can't communicate with them.

I trudged over to my bed, hurling the empty suitcase onto the floor as I sprawled out on my new bed that was mine for the summer.

After all the greetings that took place earlier, grandma had shown us to our rooms, luckily for me I got the bedroom with a bathroom and a double bed, just the same one I had stayed in seven years ago.

For the past two hours I had been in the middle of unpacking my three large suitcases into the small wardrobe space that I was provided with, I guess I really can't complain though. Kyle really got the short end of the stick when it came to rooms, he had take one for the team and take the sofa as the house didn't have enough spare bedrooms to occupy us all.

I wiped of the bead of sweat that was starting to form on my forehead as I ripped of the flannel I was currently wearing, maybe now it's a good time to have a shower.
