- Better Dreams

Khloé's alarm jolts her out of her deep slumber. She groans, looking at the clock to hit snooze, 4:30 am already. Instead of fighting for more sleep, she cancels the alarm. She drags herself out of the plush bed of comfort. Heading to the bathroom to take a hot shower, hoping to motivate herself.

After an hour has passed, she is ready to start her training program. First off is her daily morning jog, she blows a little steam to settle her nerves. Khloé stands in silence as she takes in the surroundings, like she does every morning, like clockwork. She never misses a beat.

The sun rises, and the birds are chirping. The morning air smells of fresh, beautiful pine. Khloé's heart fills with true inner peace from the dawn of the morning. The silence is music to her soul. She uses this time to pull her thoughts together.

Her thoughts wander to her brother Daniel last night. He has something he is hiding and clear for a good reason. The idea of him keeping something from her gets under her skin the more she thinks about it. He sure loves revealing secrets.

"Good morning!" Daniel says, walking up beside her in a chipper mood.

Speak of the devil, he shows! "Good morning to you, too. Why are you so excited?" She says with a sour expression.

His face lights up with a grin. "I have some amazing news, but it will remain a secret as of now!" He says.

Khloé narrows her eyes in displeasure. "Not if I make you spill it!" She says, challenging him.

With a devilish smirk, he says, "You wouldn't dare!" laughing at her aggravated expression.

"Try me! Stop being a fool and just tell me already," Khloé starts to pout like a puppy, with an adorable look on her face.

Daniel shakes his head, pinching the bridge of his nose. With a growl, he says, "Fine, you can't tell a single soul. It has to remain a secret for a little while longer."

Khloé stands in an annoyed stance with her arms folded to her chest, giving Daniel the "Out with it!" look on her face. She is running thin on patience, how long will she have to wait?

"Well?" She says. Eager, but now super annoyed with his games.

"Okay, settle down!…. I think… I found… my mate." Daniel finally spits out.

Whoa, he found his mate? Khloé has trouble wrapping her mind around that. Wait, what does this mean for her and the pack? Can she have a life again, now that he found his mate? So many questions bubble within her.
