4-Birthday.

Jordan POV.

The only good thing about waiting for my brother's birthday, is mine comes first, I'll be twenty-one today, while Jacob's birthday isn't for another four days, I got five days before I get kicked out of my pack, out of the only life that I know. I know we all get sent to other packs to train, Jacob has been to three packs before Kiara, and one after she joined our pack, but for me, I only got sent once, and I was in the pack close to home, I didn't even sleep there, I always got the chance to come back to mine and Ashlynn's room, but not this time.

"Hey, you okay?" Keiran asks, sitting next to me, I was sitting in the kitchen, simply looking out of the window, watching the snowfall.

"Yeah, I'm fine," I lie, I wasn't fine, I was the opposite, I'm still pissed, I was afraid, tired and feeling left out.

"I heard what mom said, training outside the pack is fine, I'm sure you'll enjoy it," Kei says, of course, he knows about me being kicked out, for training, exclamation mark.

"Yeah, sure," I lie, going back to looking out of the window.

"Hey, smile, it's your birthday today!" he says trying to make me smile, but I didn't mind my birthday, the day when I could find my mate, the one that I have no idea where on earth they are.

"Does Ash know?" I ask, Ashlynn won't be happy about me leaving, the reason I haven't gone on training to many other packs is Ashlynn, mom didn't want to pull us apart, I couldn't leave her back, but now I'm forced to go away.

"No, you know how she'd be, better to tell her later," Keiran says, I don't agree with him, telling her later would only make her angrier, she won't be able to annoy mother into not sending me there, but right now, I have another plan, maybe going to another pack would help my bad temper, maybe that's what I need.

"Good, don't tell her," I inform Keiran, she's mad at me, but she can't stay mad, tonight she'll be okay with me, she'll forgive me since it's my birthday.

"Jordan," Keiran says with a raised brow, I never hide things from her.

"She'll be pissed, let her be, moving to another pack would help me," I say, training means I'll get a chance to beat some people up, I can fight and never be called off.

"Jordan, you'll be sent as an adult, the alpha won't like you killing any of his wolves, or hurting any, he got my word on you behaving," Keiran says making my eyes roll, sure, sure, I'd do that whatever he asks.

"Sureeeeeee..." I promise, crossing my fingers behind my back.

"Jordan..." Keiran start but was stopped by a little thing running and jumping on his back.

"Kei!" Kiara says hugging him tight from behind.

"Yes, Kiara? What's wrong?" he asks her, she learned she can snitch on Jacob to our alpha, most days, she's the one who's on the wrong, but Keiran still play along with her.

"Jacob says me can't have any more chocolate," she says with a big pout, she's a chocolate addict.

"How many did you have today?" Keiran asks her, I smiled looking at them, I want this, I want to have a mate who'd be just like her, a little thing.

"Not many," she says holding one finger up, but I knew she had more.

"Really Kiki?" I ask her, knowing she didn't just have one.

"Maybe this much," this time she holds three fingers, now that's more like it.

"That's enough candy for today," Keiran says not falling for her games, knowing she'd keep begging until she gets more.

"But but...keiran...kierann..." she whines on the verge of fake tears.

"You know Kiki, today is my birthday, we can have chocolate cake after dinner," I say, I didn't want to make a big fuss about my birthday, especially my twenty-first one, I asked mom and Keiran not to do anything.

"Your birthday?" she asks me with wide eyes.

"Yes, my birthday," I say, it's not such a foreign concept, we all get our birthdays every year.

"But me didn't get you a gift," she says on the verge of tears again, this time her tears were going down her face.

"Should I call Jacob?" I ask Keiran, she's going to start crying and there's no one to stop her but Jacob.

"Get him just in case," Keiran answers me, I went toward his room, going to call him, I was still mad at Jacob, we aren't on a talking basis.

"Jacob," I say going inside his room, I didn't bother to knock, he looked up at me, his face buried in some book, he was reading more about claiming his mate and about how a mated couple works together. I don't blame him, I've spent the whole last year reading those books, I knew more about mated couples than my mated brother did, I'm studying just in case in the future I found my mate.

"Yes?" he says looking at me, he didn't hold any hard feelings although I did.

"Kiara..." I say, but I didn't have to finish my sentence, he threw his book away, standing up, when his mate is mentioned, he's always on alert.

"What's wrong with my baby?" he asks, his eyes filling with concern, I was craving that, to care for someone that way, I care for my siblings, but not in the romantic way mates do.

"She's sad...sad...cause she didn't get me a birthday gift," I explain to my brother, he was quick to run downstairs to meet up with her, I ignored them now, in just a few days, I'll be gone from here. I went to our room, mine and Ashlynn hiding there, until dinner time, I'll stay in here.

"Jordy..." I heard Ash's voice, I had my eyes closed, I didn't hear her coming in, I opened my eyes looking at her.

"Yes?" I answer her, she's talking to me now which is really good.

"Happy birthday kitty!" she says jumping on top of me, hugging me tight, I hugged her back, my sweet baby sister.

"Thank you Ashlynn," I say, I needed this, I needed my sister's love.

"Since you're twenty-one now, I think it's time for you to have your own room, I'm moving to kiki's old room," she says, I stopped and looked at her, we always shared a room.

"Ohh..." was the only answer I could come up with.
