"Rhea, get your ass out of the bathroom, right this instant!" A grumble from a voice behind the door said, her fists knocking on it. "You've been in there for hours, and I'd like to shower too, you know!"

"Five more minutes!" I yelled, almost done exploding the toilet.

I had just finished and flushed the toilet, a sigh of relief escaping me. Not a second after, I unlocked the door and opened it. Coco, my best friend and roommate, entered the bathroom. Her face immediate scrunched up, as her hands smacked against her nose. "Mother of living hell, what the fuck died in here?!"

"My stomach... along with my ass. And maybe a little bit of my dignity?" I whimpered, feeling embarrassed. Let's just say my ass was burning and I may have eaten way too many hot cheetos and Taki's.

She disappointedly clicked her tongue, "Damn girl, you need to lay off some spicy food."

I whined, quickly denying her, "That's like you telling me that I should die. My life isn't the same without snacks, they're comfort food since they fill my loneliness."

Coco only rolled her eyes at me in exasperation, "Okay miss-killing-my-nose-from-your-explosive-diarrhea. We have to start going soon. We're going to be late." She said, fanning her nose one last time in disgust.

Confused, I reached over to where my phone laid and checked my phone for the time. Only to see that we had an hour left to get ready and drive to the airport. I didn't realize how much time has passed. Then again, me running to the bathroom and showering may have been the result of that. My jaw dropped, before I turned my attention back to her.

Unfazed with my reaction, Coco continued, "Hurry up and get ready, I'm going to start the car," before leaving me alone.

I sighed and washed myself again, quickly trying to make up for the time we lost because of my binge eating from the previous night. As I finished loading my suitcase, my wolf's voice pops up in my head.

she said in a teasing tone.

'Shut it Rain,' I reply with a huff.

Rain only chuckled at my response before cutting the link.

Eventually, we got to the gates. The flight attendants were generous enough to let us in, even though we were a few minutes late. I mean, who knew humans could be so kind? Actually, scratch that. I just heard a human complain behind me but I don't blame them since the entire plane was delayed by 5 minutes for us.

How embarrassing.

Coco and I quickly sat in our seats and the flight attendants quickly instructed us what to do if something were to happen. Honestly, humans are amusing to watch but I was already getting bored. The ride will be long, but just thinking about it makes me groan. "Hey, pssst, Coco..." I said, turning to her. Coco was already passed out on the seat next to me, so scratch that off the list to have someone entertaining to talk to.

This bitch really fell asleep that fast huh...

We were flying from the US to Canada, or more specifically, from Florida to our old pack in Canada.

I sighed, I'm hoping my mate was there. After all, I was just visiting and pack members have gone and went. Rarely, I ever visit. If my mate wasn't there in the pack, I wouldn't know what else to do. Traveling by the age of 15 to search for my mate wasn't really a smart move on my part, since werewolves discovered their mates at the age of 16. I'm now 23, and still mateless.

That would mean my mate is either dead and I have a second chance mate, or he is at another pack in another country.

After thinking for a few moments, I called out to my wolf, Rain in mind link; anxious for answers.

Rain, what if we don't find our mate? What if --

she said in a scowling tone,

'I'm just worried,' I reply, fidgeting with my hands.

Rain sighed,

I hope you're right.

she said, puffing out her chest in confidence.

'Cocky much?'

she resorts.

'Unfortunately, yes,' I sighed out with sarcasm.

Smiling, I cut the link.

Taking a deep breath, I gaze out the window.

Let's hope for the best. Even so, I was so certain something was definitely wrong.
