"What do you mean you are living?" I practical screamed in frustration.
Kyle urie, my best friend for my entire life is leaving me for 2 years for a beta training camp somewhere in Utah.
"I have to Li, it is required for all wolves with high ranks when they turn sixteen. You know this. "
He reaches out to hold my wrist, but I take a step back.
"Don't be like this li-"
"Don't be like this?! My boyfriend is leaving me for 2 years without any notice! You told me you wouldn't lie to me." I feel the frustration bring tears to my eyes, but I quickly put my tongue against the roof of my mouth to control my crying.
"I didn't lie to you." Kyle desperately claims.
" You never told me and kept it a secret. Pretty much the same thing when you think about it." I cross my hand over my chest.
" Look, I'm sorry. We can still keep in touch,I promise. They won't allow me have any electronics, but I will write you letters. I'll send you one as soon as I get there." I finally allow him to approach me and rest is hands on my red cheek.
"Utah's a long way from Ohio, Kyle. The letters will take forever." I whine.
He nods sadly and rest his lips against my forehead.
" I know. I don't want to loose touch with my future mate though."
We don't really discover who are mate is until we turn into 18. But I know for the fact that Kyle and I are meant to be together. And it will be confirmed when he gets back.
He chuckled. " Every two days I'll write you one. I promise." And he linked his pinky with mine.
" Alright,are you two lovebirds done?" I see my oldest sister by the door, holding Kyle's last bag.
"Shut up Ariana, I snapped."
Ariana just shakes her head. " We have to get going now, unless you want to miss your flight." She tells Kyle.
Kyle looks at me one more time with his mesmerizing dark blue eyes and gives me a hug.
Finally, I let my tears fall and and clutch onto him. "Please don't go, I love you." I sob into his dark gray shirt.
" I love you more li, I will see you in two." He pries me off him and I cry harder.
He walks out the door with Ariana and my heart breaks in half.

The first 4 months goes by with a letter every other day. He constantly tells me how intense the training is and how many new friends he is making, specifically this one guy named Easton.
And I can't tell you how jealous that made me. It was constantly "Easton this" or "Easton that". I crumpled up he recent letters and through it at the wall just as my mom walked in.
He looked confused for a moment at the paper, and quietly sits down next to me.
I lean into my Mon just as he wrapped his hands around my shoulder.
"Want to talk about it?"
I nod.
I always talk about everything with my mom. He's the greatest person on this planet and I can never keep anything from him.
"Kyle is always talking about this Easton guy. I don't want to hear about this stupid Easton. I want to hear everything that Kyle is doing and going through." I huff.
" Write to him about it, I'm sure he will understand." my mom suggested.
" But then I will be a jealous, whinny boyfriend and no one wants that."
He pull the way just enough to look me in the eyes. "If you really loves you, he will understand and listen to you just try."
And so I did.
But the letters slowly took longer and longer to arrive, until eventually they stopped.
It was about a year in when they no longer arrived.
I kept looking at my last letters for answers.
"Liam,
Happy 17th birthday.
Kyle.
I know the letters had good intentions, but just happy Birthday? That's it? What about those all letters that took about 3 to 4 pages? The letters that arrives every other day? The letters that are signed with "I love and miss you- ky"
What happened to the good old days?
Trembling,I slowly folded the letters back to how it was.
He comes home in 7 months, and I'm really not ready. Because when he comes back , I have no idea what I would do. Hurt him? Very likely. Ignore him? Also very likely? Beg him for answer maybe.
Pushing back on my chair, I grabbed as many letters as I could and stormed downstairs into the backyard.
The sun was setting and everyone who lived in the packhouse gathered around a pitfire roasting s'mores and starburst.
I stomped up to the pit fire and threw the letters into the fireplace, and everyone around me goes silent.
They are knew how much those letters meant to me just because they were from Kyle.
I didn't care at who was staring at me, and how the laughter and happy energy dies down.
I watched the letters slowly burns black and turns to ash. And it satisfies me.
I felt someone take hold of my arm, and I saw my other oldest sister kaydence , Kay for short.
She gave me a gentle smile, and handed me a stick with a new marshmallow on it.
I swear, she always knows what everyone needed, just like my mom. She never asks questions, she just let you move on with something happy.
I took the metal stick from her, and the energy seems to brighten after that. People started laughing and conversing again.
They were ready to move on to tomorrow and quite frankly so I was.
True mates don't leave you in the dark.
Or so I thought.
I would be updating every Friday and Saturday ☺️.
Thanks lovers 😘
