The Hidden Dagger

ed in his warrior training and is the head warrior now." She explains. We stop when we get to the border and greet the warriors at the gate. Our pack Silver Falls Lake has multiple traps and techniques to keep out rogues and unwanted visitors. We have a false gate, so it looks like the main border and makes the territory seem bigger. We feel what feels like a rubber band snapping into place, and our connection to the pack is back in place. "Welcome back ladies. That was a quick trip home. I wasn't expecting tomorrow. Go ahead and we'll meet in my office with Malik." Alpha Tomland's mind links us. "Yes sir," I say back. We pull up a few minutes later. ''he's here! He's here!" Chai says. ''who?" I ask her. "Our mate," she says. I roll my eyes. This wolf thinks everyone is her mate that she thinks smells good. " Would you stop rolling your eyes? Damn, girl we just got home, and your already frustrated with it?" Liliana says. I look at her with my mouth open. 'This girl must be out of her mind if she thinks I got an attitude already' I think to myself. " I was rolling my eyes at the bitch in my head." I tell her with a smirk. " Hey! You're not nice. I'll put you in timeout" Chai growls at me. I giggle at her knowing she won't do anything. We walk through the packhouse and up to the Alpha office. We bow our heads and sit down in a chair. We suddenly hear a growl. I glance over at Malik. " Mate! mate! it's our mate" Chai jumps around in my mind. "Malik is our mate?" I ask her. "Yes!! Isn't he dreamy!" She replies excitedly. I roll my eyes at her again. " Sis I am not feeling it with him." I tell her honestly. " What do you mean you can't feel anything for him," she asked me concerned. "Talk to the Alpha later" she continues. "Should I be worried?" I ask "Yes you should be worried. If you can't feel the mate bond, then we need to figure out what is going on with us or you. I can sense he is our mate but I can't feel the mate bond." She explains. "Celia? You okay there hun?" Alpha Tomland asks me. "Umm.. if I can may we speak in private after this?" I glance over at Liliana and Malik nervously. "We can" Tomland replies. Tomland was one of the best alpha's around. He was fierce and didn't back down while in a battle. He was hard on us to train so nothing happened. We start our training as young as five so we can defend ourselves at any moment. But he was also the gentlest person. He was there for his people in need and was always around if you needed an ear just so you could be heard. I've heard stories that he is even the one who is there for every birth. His Mate Tonya is the same way. They take turns with the pack members while the other deals with the paperwork. I glance back over at Malik who looks like he is having a hard time staying put. " Celia I know you know we are mates, why are you sitting there" He mind links me. " Don't be alarmed but I can't sense anything, my wolf can, but we cannot feel the mate bond. That is why I would like to talk to your dad, to see if he has heard of anything like this." I explain over the mind link. I glance his way and he is looking at me with an expression so unexplainable that I wince slightly. "So, the reason I think they are going to the city is because they are looking for a female from this pack. We heard one of them on the deer cams on the false border. Since you two are the only ones to have left home and been gone the longest we needed to get you home as quickly as possible. I know you had a few months left till graduation, but we got you transferred to the online, so you miss anything. We are also going to start training tomorrow. So, I hope you both have been doing something to keep active. We also heard the girl they are looking for is special has some sort of power and might have come into them or is waiting for her mate to come into them. Talked to some of the pack witches and there is a legend about a pure black who will receive her powers at an early age. She probably has a very good nose. Does that fit you, girls?" Explains Tomland. My mouth gaps open in shock. Chai was pu
