"Nicollet, calm down. I will call him, just please stop groping me unless it's for reasons other than my phone." ~Kane

"You have a brother!?" Was the first question I yelled at Kane. Followed by, "Where the hell is he?"

Truth be told I probably did not have to yell, but my level of shock was through the roof. After all I shared with him, he didn't even tell me he had a brother.

His response was in a normal volume. "Yes I have a brother. He is in Europe." He was very calm and collected. Watching me as I bounced my leg and flinging my fork around in the air, looking like a complete spaz.

"Call him. Call him. Call him. Call him. Call him. Call him." I chanted over and over again. Springing forwarded I was practically groping Kane trying to find his phone. Its got to be here some where. Where the hell are his pockets? Oops not a pocket.

He wrapped his finger around my wrists, carefully pulling them away from his body. "Nicollet, calm down. I will call him, just please stop groping me unless it's for reasons other than my phone."

Reluctantly I sat back on my stool with a huff, keeping my hands to myself. He took his phone out of his pocket and pressed a couple buttons. I shifted closer to him as he placed the phone to his ear. It was ringing. And ringing. And ringing.

Just when I thought it would go to voice mail and husky voice answered. "Hello?" My eyes grew wide with excitement. Oh my god, is this it? Is this the moment when my best friend's life is saved?

"Parker." Kane said into the phone, his voice as strong as stone. "You need to come home."

To my surprise Parker didn't ask why, or when, he didn't complain. Nothing. "I'm on my way." And the phone call cut off.

Kane didn't say anything as he slipped his phone into the pocket of his pajama pants. He went back to eat as if nothing had happened.

I was staring at him, waiting to see if he would say anything about his brother. Or why he never told me. He didn't say anything.

Coughing expectantly, I spoke, "Well that sounded like a pleasant conversation."

"Yep." Kane mumbled behind a mouth full of eggs and bacon.

Overdramaticly, I flung my self on the island, sighing. "God you're making me work for it." I looked over at him. My head leaning on my arms, crossed on the table. "Are you gonna tell me about him?"

He swallowed his mouth full of food, setting his fork down. His voice eerie calm when he addressed me. "What do you want to know about him?"

"Like do you guys get along? Why's he in Europe? Why haven't you talked about him?" The questions flowed out of my mouth.

"We got along very well before my parents died." Kane spoke quietly, he had yet to look over at me, still staring down at a now empty plate of eggs. It was hurting him to talk about this. Before I could ask him if he wished to stop, he spoke again. "After they passed I became the Alpha. At first he was with me. But after a while he became depressed, his wolf was sad and he didn't know why. He wasn't his normal goofball self. It was on April 12th that he formed a mate bond. He told me all he felt was emptiness when the bond formed. He wanted to find his mate. He's been traveling the world ever since."

My hand gently laid on his bicep. "Do you miss him?"

"All the time." He finally looked up at me, a sad smile on his lips. His silver eyes filled with despair.

Instantly I slipped out of my seat and into his lap. My arms wrapped around him as I pulled him into a hug. His face buried in my hair.

"He's coming home." I whispered. "Just think, he could be Raya's mate! Wow, we'd be dating hot alpha brothers." Then I paused,"Wait, are we even dating?"
