Chapter 25 Sisters

Maria's POV

"Can we hang out today Rat? Like just the two of us like we used to?" I asked he shook his head no.

"Maria I have to help Cristie and my brother today." He replied as he headed further down the path I stopped in front of him again.

"You never have time for me anymore!" I yelled at him and he sighed.

"Maria I'm sorry but I'm busy now maybe tomorrow." He said the next day came and once again he was too busy and told me tomorrow with the same result.

"Mom he won't spend any time with me." I said she looked at me with forgiving eyes.

"Well he has a lot to do now a days I'm surprised he has enough free time for Cristie." I hated Cristie she stole my brother and now he was getting married to her.

"I don't what's so great about her." I said as I paced back and forth.

"Why can't you just be happy for Rat?" Traves asked he and Fallo were all for Rat getting married without any concern that he might not be able to hang out with us anymore. It made me so mad that he would just get married without asking me if it was ok, I mean I was his sister. Where was Cristie during the winter gone who was there to hang out with him me. I stormed out of the den to find Runt, I informed him of my problem and he shrugged.

"The guy's in love I guess, I don't know what to tell you Maria it's not something that you can stop." He replied to me.

"YOU SOUND LIKE MOM!" I yelled and he quickly hushed me.

"Maria, don't you want Rat to be happy?" He asked and I sighed

"yeah still doesn't mean he has to leave me out all the time." I muttered and he patted my head.

"Just give it some time." He said but I wanted it to be now not later. I walked off and went to go see my cousin Claudette. She was looking at a den with her new mate Fleet.

"Hey Maria what brings you here?" She asked her stomach had gotten a tad bit larger than the last time I saw her.

"Rat not spending any time with me." I said she and Fleet looked at each other.

"Is this about Cristie again?" Fleet asked and I pouted.

"Yeah." I said and both of them groaned I hated talking to alphas they didn't know anything.

"So is it the wedding?" Claudette asked

"I just don't see why he's marrying her." I replied and Claudette snickered a little.

"Cristie has always been special to Rat and she's felt the same ever since they were age." I didn't need a history lesson I needed a solution.

"So she left and Rat started hanging out with me now that she's back he hardly ever sees me." I replied

"Maybe you should go talk to Rat about this." She suggested I groaned at the idea of going to see him and the girl who will not be named from this point on. Yes readers I'm so mad I broke the fourth wall so deal with it!

"And risk seeing *blank* with him no thanks." See told you will not be named.

"Yes." They said at the same time I groaned and stormed off to Rat's cave. I headed to the back of it where he informed me never to go without an adult. I jumped down into the spring and head further until I reached a three way. Innuendos aside, yes I know some of you thought of it like that getting back on track I headed through the one in the middle. It led me into another cave luckily there were tiny holes in the ceiling that provided light. I began running for some reason I didn't want to go back I just wanted to leave. But I came to a stop I couldn't runaway I was too young. I heard digging and saw a fox, I took off as fast as I could. Maybe I wasn't too young to run away. Yes I'm aware we've had a runaway story before but just keep reading it get's better.

"Maria!" I heard as a wolf dug down in front of.

"Rat?" I asked he frowned at me.

"What are you thinking Maria?" See different readers.

"You've been spending all your time with *blank*!" I screamed and he sighed before picking me up like mom did. He brought me out of the cave and sat me down.

"Maria, *blank* has been worried about you acting like this." Rat said I couldn't believe she would actually be worried about me. "Maybe you should spend some time with her."

"Fine I'll give it a try." This is the only part where the fourth wall will be broken for now at least.

Cristie's POV

"Are you sure about this Rat?" I asked as Maria pouted.

"Please just go along with this." He begged

"Alright I will on the condition that you'll start trying to mske more timer for the both of us." She looked at me, the two kissed and my day with Cristie began.

"What did you mean the two of us?" Maria asked

"Well you're not the only one who's been having trouble seeing him, his brother's condition seems to have taken up most of his time." I said and she seemed to feel guilty about something as we walked to the spot where the wedding was going to held.

"Why here?" She asked

"Well this was where we first fell in love." I replied and she gagged. "Oh stop it you'll find a wolf that suites you to."

"Well there aren't any pups except my brothers." She said "How did you know you wanted to marry Rat I mean he isn't exactly the cleanest wolf, or the best looking, or the strongest, or the brightest." I laughed a little.

"You're right but he is the most caring, the nicest, and he just takes my breath my way." I heard more gagging sounds.

"Ok I'll stop."

"Good cause you're going to make me barf." Maria replied I could tell this was going to be a long day. "So why did you leave the pack if you loved him so much?"

"I was in training to be the next healer, I didn't want to leave but Rat insisted that I go." I replied

"Oh." I could tell she really wasn't in to this, so I decided to do something I haven't done in a while.

"So Claudette and Fleet are at their new den right?" I asked she nodded.

"Why?"

"We're going to prank them." I replied and she lit up like she just heard the best news in the world. She followed me as we began setting everything up. Until Rat came and saw what we were doing with the berry juice.

"Cristie…..really you just can't let it go?"

"Well I mean your sister is enjoying herself. Besides you should hang out with my brother seeing how you two will be brother in laws soon." He groaned at the idea and walked off and I motioned for Maria to hurry up before he came back since my brother was with Sydney.

"So are you two happy together?" Maria asked it was nice she was so concerned about him.

"Yes we are, and I promise I won't let anything bad happen to him." I said and she finally fully relaxed.

"You promise?"

"Yes I promise."

"I guess I can get used to having an older sister." She said and we decided to give up on the prank and I took her home.
