She nodded and left.

I came out of the vision and the pack wasstanding around me. Kai’s eyes were yellow but he patiently stroked my hair andwaited for me to come out of it. I sat up quickly, but then grabbed my head asa wave of dizziness hit me.
‘What happened?’Kai asked me privately.
I looked into his eyes nervously. ‘I foundTrent’s mate,’I told him.
He smiled looking at Trent.
“It’s your sister,” I said aloud. Kai lookedshocked. “My little sister! No, there must be a mistake. She’s too young.”
I stood up slowly. “She’s the same age asme!”
He sighed. Trent looked at both of us, confused.“Are you okay, Aurora? What’s going on?”
I smiled at Trent. “I found your mate.”
Young Love
After two hours of Kai grilling Trent on howhe would treat his sister, how many kids they would have, where they wouldlive, when they would have their mating ceremony and 100 other things, Kaicalled his sister. I could hear excited screaming on the other end of thephone. Kai and I talked before he made the call and agreed to tell his mother,father, and sister about my Matefinder abilities. Although he didn’t have thebest relationship with his father, he said he could be trusted. His father tookmating and werewolf species growth very seriously. Kai said if something everhappened to him, that his father would protect me. I didn’t even want to thinkabout the prospect of something happening to Kai.
After a few minutes on the phone, Kai’s voicechanged. “Hello, Papa.” His voice took on a serious tone and he put the phoneon speaker, looking at me and putting a finger to his mouth for me to keepquiet.
“Are you sure this boy is Diya’s true mate?We have had prospects before but nothing worked out.”
“Yes, I’m sure.”
A heavy sigh. “How can you be sure? Hermarkings are unique. His wolf may just look similar but not be a match. Is he evengood enough for her?” his father asked.
“He is a good wolf, dominant, loyal,successful and smart. He will be a good match for Diya.”
“Son, I don’t understand how you can be so surethis is Diya’s mate. I don’t have time for tricks. Mating needs to be takenseriously, especially when my only daughter is involved. How exactly are yousure this boy is your sister’s mate?”
Kai chewed at his bottom lip.
“To answer that question, I would like toenactAlpha Secretum. I have information to share with you that is aboutone of my wolves. If this information is shared with another pack it couldthreaten the growth of our species.”
My mouth hung open. We hadn’t talked aboutthis. I guess he didn’t fully trust his father. I didn’t know what AlphaSecretum was but the hairs on my arms were standing up.
“You want to enact Alpha Secretum? This mustbe serious for you not to trust me in open conversation. Fine, I swear on mypack magic that I will not share the following information outside of my pack.”
“Not good enough, Papa. You must not share itoutside of telling your mate and Diya.”
I could feel his father’s rage on the otherside of the phone.
“You always loved to enact your power, Kai. Justremember that’s a trait you got from me. Fine! I swear on my pack magic that Iwill not share the following information outside of telling my only daughter,Diya, and my mate, Maya.”
Kai nodded. “Aurora, my new mate, is the Matefinder.She has successfully paired two mate couples already. Sadie transferred toSeattle pack and Jake has found his mate. She had a vision when sparring withTrent. Diya and Trent are mates, she is sure.”
I saw a fine mist creep out of the phone andwrap around the words coming out of Kai’s mouth. Magic. That must be AlphaSecretum, a pack magic that was keeping his words secret. I wonder what wouldhappen if his father broke the oath.
There was silence for a long time. “I’veheard stories of…but,” he seemed at a loss for words, “this is incredible. Doyou know what this could mean for our species, for reproduction?”
Kai gritted his teeth. “Aurora won’t be usedas a tool to grow our species. Talk to Diya about what you want to do next andget ahold of me. Goodbye, Papa.” And he hung up.
We sat in silence for a moment. “So, your dadseems like an interesting guy,” I joked.
