The Alpha's Chase

Big Brothers Talk

Andrews POV

I am now standing in the doorway watching them interact together. Though of course they do not notice me at all. They are just in their own perfect world actually until I clear my throat and they separate at lighting speed. Man, he really is a good best friend. No other mate would do this for anyone else. But I have to break his heart a bit because his parents are calling him home right now. I can see the pain in his eyes from having to leave her side but this gives me the perfect chance to talk to her as well. So, now that I am sitting down with her it's time to pull the big brother hat out and get to the bottom of why she isn't looking forward to finding her mate. Goddess, help me keep my cool and not be my normal self.

Anubis tells me, "Just take deep breaths and ask. You can do this. We can do this. As long as she doesn't bring up s*x because we will lose it then!!!"

"Seriously Anubis! You were supposed to keep me calm! Not setting me off!" I all but growled at him.

Kat is looking at me and waiting for what it is that I want to talk about. So, I take a deep breath and ask her, "Why is it that you are not interested in finding your mate Kat? Not that I am complaining about the idea but it seems like there is something else that might be causing you to think that maybe." She seems taken back by my statement though. I leave her to think it over for a minute and answer me when she's ready. She just looked over at me and stared. Finally she starts to talk, "It just seems like a lot of responsibility so young brother. In some cases it even decides who you will be in life and your life starts to entirely revolve around someone else. What if you are not cut out for the life that destiny thinks you should have?" I'm caught off guard by her words. Does she not think that she is strong and perfect exactly who and how she is? "Kat, you know that you are a strong and beautiful woman inside and out right? You can handle any and everything thrown your way. There is nothing that I don't think that you can handle in life and I am not alone in thinking this way, little sister." She just jumped into my arms hugging me tightly laughing and saying, "I love you too big brother! Though I'm still going to make my mate work for me, that's for sure." Laughing at her words, "He always should be, baby girl. That is for sure."
