Chosen His Mate

After breakfast, I volunteered to clear the table.

Aunt Carol had something to do in the morning, so she left after breakfast. Before she left, she told us we could do whatever we wanted in the pack.

After washing the dishes, I walked around the first floor but couldn't find Kate. I went up to the second floor in confusion and saw that Kate's door was closed. I knocked on the door and heard Kate's response. I pushed the door open and walked in.

Kate returned to the way she was when I first saw her in the morning. She was fiddling with a Rubik's Cube in her hand. But her face was tense, and no emotions could be seen.

I quietly walked to her side and knew something must have happened in the morning.

"Do you want to talk to me?" I said softly.

"I turned on my phone this morning," Kate said with her head lowered.

"What did you see?" I asked.
