“Renesmay! Get down here we need to put your dress on!” Nadia yelled.
“But mom, why do I have to go?! Its not like anyone is going to choose me!” Ren yelled.
“Ren, for the 100th time I have told you its mandatory! You have to go!”
“Why should I be forced to go to the mating games when all the males want a skinny girl, not someone like me!” Ren exclaimed.
“I already told you! You have to find a mate your 19! Don’t you want to find that special someone who makes your heart skip a beat?” Nadia asked.
“No! in fact, I don’t care if I ever find a mate! I don’t want one! All they do is take one look at you to see if they want to put their pups in you!” Ren exclaimed furiously.
“Just get your ass over here and put your dress on!” Nadia growled out.
Ren growled lowly as the grabbed the soft grey, off the shoulder lace and tulle mermaid gown, jerking it onto her curvy body.
Ren wasn’t the prettiest of girls but she wasn’t ugly either. Ren had curves in all the right places with a bit of a tummy, she had fiery red hair and honey brown eyes; Compared to the model-like stick figures in her pack she looked plain.
Nadia smiled seeing her daughter in the gown her eyes watery.
“look how beautiful you are my darling flower” Nadia said a bit choked up.
Ren looked at herself in the mirror and smiled slightly.
`”ok now sit down so I can do your hair” Nadia stated
“alight mom” Ren replied
Ren sat down in the chair and leaned her head back as her mom began to curl her hair.
Jona groaned as his girlfriend awoke him.
“tara! Go away!” jona growled as he rolled over.
“get up! We have to get ready for the mating games!” Tara exclaimed as she hit him with a pillow from off the bed.
“I ought to throw you in the cells for hitting me, but im too tired.” Jona said groggly.
“oh quit being a pup and get up!” tara fussed
Jona growled lowly “what did you call me?”
Tara squealed and ran off with jona hot on her tail.
“get back here!” jona yelled.
Tara ran as quickly as she could into the kitchen, she looked for some kind of exit but it was too late, Jona had already snuck up behind her and grabbed her by the waist kissing her neck.
“ugh the things you do to me woman.” Jona whispered in her ear.
“none of that! We have got to get you two ready!” said baily the beta of the pack.
“ugh! Baily you ruin all my fun” Jona whined
“well if you didn’t insist in being a hotheaded playboy maybe I wouldn’t have to.” Baily replied snidely.
Jona let go of tara and walked up to his room and changed into his soft grey tux with a silver necktie.
Jona walked out of his room, clasping his silver cufflinks. Jona was a very handsome man, he had perfectly groomed blonde hair with stormy blue eyes. He was very muscular, with a strong jawline and hip bones that would make a woman fall to her knees.
“well lets go, tara ill meet you after the ceremony.” Jona stated
Tara nodded as Jona walked off with baily.
They got into Jonas’ black 1947 Cadillac Convertible, and hit the rode driving to the mating games which is held at the Everest packs territory.
When they got to the games there was a lot of hustle and bustle of he & she-wolves trying to get in line to be assigned strength ,agility, and beauty scores.
As soon as Jona stepped out of his Caddie everyone turned and backed up in fear of him. Everyone knew of his reputation as an alpha.
He supposedly killed the Everest alphas’ daughter after she rejected him as a mate. No one knew if it was true or not but they still feared him.
Jona scoffed at how the others reacted to his presence. Since Jona was an alpha, he got to go to the front of the line to receive his scores first. He received a 10/10 for strength. , a 10/10 in agility and a 10/10 for beauty.
Jona was then escorted to the alpha seating.
When Ren finally got her scores she received a 8/10 for strength, a 9/10 for agility and a 7/10 for beauty.
Ren growled at her scores but walked off to the she-wolf presentation area so all the males could ogle her.
This wasn’t Rens first mating games, this was her 4th year of being at the mating games.
The already mated females led them onto a stage where the unmated females would be presented to the unmated males for choosing.
Ren sighed knowing she would be in the next group of females being led onto the stage.
Jona walked into the alpha seating area and completely ignored the presences of the other alphas and walked straight up to the alpha of the Everest pack; Alpha Jorgen.
“why after all this time did you send me an invitation?” Jona asked ageressively.
Jorgen just smiled softly and said “ I fidguired it was time to put our diffrences aside and make a treatie.”
Jona just nodded and said “we will talk more about this later, to arrange a meeting.”
Jorgen nodded and sat down in his chair.
Jona walked off to sit down and wait for all the she-wolves to be shown so he could leave the games.
Jona thought to himself “why do I even have to attend the games when any she-wolf I pick will beg me to choose someone else because they all think I’m some she-wolf killer. Besides I have already chosen tara.”
Ren sighed as she walked onto the stage with all the other females waiting for all the guys to pass her up, but when she looked up her eyes caught the sight of a particularly tall and handsome alpha. She could hear the roaring of the crowd as ladies were chosen and swept off their feet by their mates. She could smell the salty scent of nervous she-wolves waiting for their mates. She looked away from the handsome alpha. Just as she did, a loud growl silenced the sound of chattering and cheering wolves. They all turned trying to figure out who made that sound only for the crowd to spread slowly as a male walked up the aisle of people coming straight for her. Her heart began to thud, as her mind begans to race. Her wolf screams in her head “MINE! MY MATE!”
Ren thought to herself “No! why now! Why after all this time! He is just gonna reject me!”
Just then Jona points to her and says in a low gravely voice “MINE.”
