Alpha’s Choice

Eva’s POV I am 25 today at least I will, I should be happy but I have been waiting for my mate for 7 years, when I turned 18 I thought for sure I would find him or her and that I could start living that fantasy life we all dream of when we meet our mate. However, it never happened for me; I graduated high school at 17, finished college at 21, and still no mate. Finally, my parents, the gamma of my pack, decided to let me leave to attend medical school away from my pack. I should back up and introduce myself, my name is Evangeline Elizabeth Stone, but everyone calls me Eva. I am 5’4 (short by werewolf standards, but don’t tell me that), I have brown skin, long curly black hair, and my eyes are, let’s just say, brown. I am from the Moonlight pack out of Texas, but I got to school in Vermont, where the weather just seems to be gray with a chance of gray and cold! Did I mention how cold it is? I love it here, though. I am finally allowed to leave my pack and see the world because I graduated college a year early and was accepted to medical school. In my last year, I am a medical student, and I cannot wait to be a doctor. Here I am, away from home for the first time, and in the verge of meeting my mate. Will he like me? “EVA! let’s go; we need to get to the mall.” That is my very loud best friend Molly, she’s visiting for my birthday with her bodyguards. As the unmated daughter of the alpha of our pack, there was no way she would be allowed to travel across the country alone. “I’m coming; chill.” “Let’s go!” As she rips me from my apartment, my roommate Jane follows close behind. “Molly, I forgot my bag.” “I got it!” says Jane laughing. We pile into my Range Rover and head off, with the warriors in the black SUV following close by. You must be wondering how a 24-year-old medical student can afford to drive a ranger rover; the truth is my pack is well off, not obscenely so but very well off. All of the members in our pack are well off; everyone works in some capacity to keep the pack functioning. No, we are not the largest or strongest pack but, we are a strong pack in our own right and have been since we were founded. We arrive at the mall, and I demand we go. We make stop at Starbucks, both Molly and Jane scream in excitement. I laugh as we make our way to Starbucks. “One Grande Nitro Cold brew black, please.” “Venti Mango Dragonfruit refresher,” Molly orders while staring at the pastry case, “will that be all miss?” Hmm yes, wait no, ugh yes, that’s all.” I am shaking my head abused. You will learn that Molly can be a little indecisive. “Well, I will have a Honey Almond milk Flat White with one pump of caramel,” Jane speaks up, and you will learn my Jane likes coffee, like a lot, and I will tell you I do not trust a med student who doesn’t like coffee. I paid using my Starbucks app, gotta get those stars. Beverages in hand, we walk towards forever 21 because hello, all shopping trips start at Forever. The girls picked up their bags, and we headed out to more stores. 3 hours later, we finally leave the mall and head back to our apartment, and put the poor warriors out of their misery. While we got ready, we played my party mix and opened a bottle of champagne. We get ready and head to the club. I am wearing a red form-fitting midi bodycon dress with a plunging sweetheart neckline, serving some cleavage and short sleeves, paired with black pumps. I am fairly short by werewolf standards. I have tones legs, plump round butt, large breasts and a small waist. Needless to say this dress was the perfect birthday dress, showing off all of my curves. I decided to let my curls have a night out and let them fall down my back with a side part. Molly comes into my room wearing a black short corset bodice dress with off-the-shoulder sleeves and a runched skirt that shows some thigh. She paired with nude Louboutins, she blew out her long blonde hair and let it fall over her shoulders. she looked absolutely gorgeous. “Hey, hair up or down?” “Down, you look amazing,” I told her, and she giggled “me, look at you, birthday girl!” “It’s not birthday yet, not until 11,” I said “I can’t believe you still do that!” she yelled. I laughed, “I will always do that.” “’ Real hot girl shit Real, real ass b***h, give a f**k 'bout’ a…” Hot Girl Summer starts playing, Molly and I scream, and we immediately start dancing. She had her hands on her knees and shaking her ass while I was more singing than dancing, and Jane walked to with a glass of champagne in hand to join the party. She is wearing a nude form-fitting one-shoulder sheer mesh body con dress with a faux corset top. That dress hugs every curve on her body. She has a body that would make anyone envious, lean, and feminine with hips and to match. She styled her hand in a high ponytail and was currently barefoot. Jane has been my friend since I moved here for med school, she has been my roommate since my second year, and we’ll probably live together until we both meet our mates. It’s June 1st, and we have both matched into our specialties of choice: emergency medicine. I think she will make a great doctor. Jane is from Darkwoods Pack, the largest pack in the Northeast. Her family are deltas. Given that we live off of parklands, I never actually visited her pack. Still, I have met her parents several times, and they come to visit us often to get away from her brothers. She has 3 brothers. I cannot imagine what it would be like to have 3 brothers. The one I have is more than enough, thank you. Tonight, Jane convinced us to go to a shifter club, very exclusive and high-end, and I am super nervous. “Okay, ladies, we need to leave, or else the only dancing we’ll be doing tonight is in this apartment,” Jane says. “That would be the perfect night if you ask me.” “No one is asking you, Eva; we know your idea of a good night is being on the couch with sparkling water, a bowl of popcorn, and Netflix.” Molly chimes “Wow, when did we enter the judgment zone?” “Umm, the minute I got here?” Then we all started laughing. A knock on the door grabbed our attention. It was one of the warriors from my pack. He was tall and muscular like all-male werewolf tend to be, a black fitted suit with a black t-shirt underneath. I must say he looked good. His name is Chris, and he has been friends with Molly and me since we were kids. “Are we ready to move, ladies? I didn’t get dressed to stay home? He looks at Jane, and I could swear his eyes darkened and quickly changed back. He looks my way “no contacts today?” “Not on my birthday.” “Okay then, let’s go, or there will be no celebration.” We giggled and moved around the room, Turing off the music, putting glasses on the counter, grabbing phones and wallets, and Jane putting on some sling-back pumps. Then we piled into the warriors SUV. As we drove to the club just outside of town, my wolf became very anxious and started to scratch at the wall I put up earlier at the mall. I am not sure why but during our trip to the mall, she started going crazy, and I had to block her. I hope whatever it will pass. We got to the club, the doors opened, and I smelled the most delicious smell, and I turned my head, and I couldn’t see anyone just and a sea of black SUVs. MY wold I spurring in my head and I am annoyed, where is the owner of that smell, how dare they smell that divine and be nowhere to be found. Disappointment pushed into the back of my mind, my girls and I, plus the warriors, made our way inside.
