Light and Darkness

Amity's PoV When i was 3 years old, my mother lost her husband, my dad. She was devastated by his loss but always tried to keep a smile on her face for my sake. By the time i turned 5 she had seemed to find a new man to love again, Dexar. At first i was holding myself back, he was new and i didn't know him but he made the effort to get to know me by buying me my favorite icecream and cookies (both chocolate chips btw). When i turned 6 i noticed that my mom began to lose her smile and that she had bruises on her legs and arms. She tried to cover them with a cream but i saw them when she changed in the bathroom. By the time i turned 7 i got tired of the screaming and fighting happening between those 2. They always tried to hide it from me, but i could smell the alcohol from Dexar when he came home early in the mornings. One morning i woke up to my mother howling in pain and i heard alot of noise coming from the kitchen. When my mom screamed so loud that i got scared i rushed down to see her unconsious on the floor, blood seeping from her head. When Dexar turned to me he had this evil grin on his face and i didn't know this man who stood before me. Before i managed to run away he was on me, he was fast, faster than any human i have ever seen. I got scared and wanted to scream but when he looked at me i was frozen in place, i couldnt utter a word, i even had a hard time breathing.He took me upstairs, to my parent's bedroom and before i knew it he was on top of me. I jolted awake from my nightmare, when i checked the room where i was i realised that i was in my own bed in my small apartment. With a sigh i noticed that i was covered in sweat so i decided to go freshen up. Once i was in the bathroom i studied myself in the mirror, i wasnt a bad looking woman, but i wasnt a magazine cover one either. My hair was dark chocolat brown and it reached the lower end of my back, i had the greenest eyes i have ever seen and my body had curves in the right places. The thing that was odd about me was my hight, i was 6ft3, taller than any other girl i have ever seen. After i felt freshened up again i went back into my room. I noticed a figure sleeping in my bed and had to think how i ended up here with another person. I took a look at her face and i rememberd i went out for a drink after work last night, i probably got drunk again and took some random girl home. I've tried being with men, but i realised soon that my taste was with woman. When i checked my nightstand it said 6:30am, wich only left me with about an hour before i had to leave for work. Looking at the woman in my bed i realised i never got her name, not that it mattered really because i wasnt looking for anything serious, but then again, the hardest part was about to come... Kicking her out of bed and my place. When i moved closer i saw her breasts wich were exposed by the lack of blanket. I did give myself a pat on the back, that were some nice breasts. When i finally got my attention away from the 2 hills who belonged to the woman i nudged her by her shoulder "hey... wake up.. it's time for you to go". All i got in return was a sigh and she rolled over to the other side. For heaven's sake.. fine then we do this the rough way. I took my matras and just flipped it over, nex thing i hear was a thud and a loud OUCH. Guess she finally woke up. "What the hell dude, why did you have to wake me up like that!"   I looked her dead in the eye and said "first off all... i'm not a dude, secondly, i tried gently but didnt succeed. Thirdly, i need to be at work in about an hour so get your s**t together and leave please" before she even answered i was already back into the bathroom brushing my teeth and putting clean clothes on that suited my job. Suddenly there was a loud banging on my bathroom door "YOU b***h, YOU CAN'T JUST KICK ME OUT LIKE THAT? WTF". When i opened the door i saw that she was able to semi dress herself, she just needed her pants and shoes. "Look, like i said, i need to get to work soon and i need you out of here, i don't care who you are, this was a one night thing only so just get out and go home." She just looked at me and i swear if looks could kill, i was 6ft under. After the glaring, she took the rest of her stuff and stormed out. Oh well, seems like it's over now. Lyndra PoV: "How DARE she!! How dare that filthy human kick me out like i was just some trash?!!!" I was pacing in my sisters room on the second floor of our Pack House. She was the almighty White wolf and destined to be the next luna of our pack, the Silver Nighthowlers. She had everything going for her, the looks, the brains, even her wolf was the destined one. The only thing she hadn't found yet was her mate. She was turning 23 soon and our parents were getting impatient with her.   I on the other hand, was a nothing. For some unknown reason i was born without a wolf. No one really knows why but the elders assumed it was because my sister was firstborne and the almighty white wolf that all of the wolf genes went into her. Our mother was a pureblood werewolf, our father a human who later got turned into a wolf my our mother so he could become Alpha, guess i got his human genes. I'm just glad that i am able to find my mate but i will need to wait till i turn 21 before my mate can find me since i am without wolf. " Lyn, please stop pacing. You know how those humans can be, they don't really know how a real mate feels like" I stopped and glared at my sister, then i slumped down next to her. "You're right... it's just.. i never have been with a female and when it all went down OH BOY! But then after that wonderfull night, she just kicked me out like i was nothing." My sister grabbed my hands and forced me to look at her "Look, you are a really kind person and you have a great heart and tbh you have some damn good looks " i huffed and just looked angry to wich my sister had to laugh " i'm serious, you don't see how good you look, you got plenty of male wolves here that would love to get to know you better".   I snatched my hands away from her and stood up again. "They only want to get to know me better because i'm your younger sister and they want to use me to get trough to you" i started pacing again. My sister got up and grabbed my arms to pull me into a hug "then they all miss out on the amazing person you are". With that she released me and told me to follow her to the kitchen for some snacks and hot chocolat milk. I gladly followed her, specially if there were mini marshmallows to go with it! Xanthe's PoV: After calming my sister down with some chocolat milk and mini marshmallows, i went to find our father. He was usually up in his office discussing Alpha stuff with the beta's and Gamma's. I knocked softly and waited for my father to answer. As soon as i heard an enter, i opened the door and had to smile. My father was a tall man, broad shoulders and short dark hair. He had the kindest eyes i have ever seen and they always softened when he saw me. "Come in angel, what can i help you with?" I closed the door and adressed our Beta Cole Driassen and Gamma Erick Cusse. "Good afternoon gentlemen, i hope i wasn't interrupting something serious?" Cole gave me a small smile and reassured me that i didnt, then left the room, followed by Erick. I look to my father with a questionable look on my face. "What was that all about" i asked. My father sighed and dropped in his chair behind his desk " well sweety, you know i am getting older and that the pack needs a young and fresh Alpha to keep us going so..." he adverted his eyes and started fiddling with his pen, he always did that when he became nervous about something. "What is it father? You got that look on your face and i don't like it".  He looked at me and swallowed " well... since you still haven't found your mate, Cole came to me asking if he could ask your hand in marriage since he hasnt found his mate either, that way i know the pack would be in capable hands and then i can stand down and enjoy the rest of what is left of my life with your lovely mother". I was shocked! Ok this did happen before in other packs, where the destined alpha or Luna didn't find their mate and married the next rank to keep the genes strong, but that is not something that i wanted. I wanted to find my mate and i was still searching for him. "Dad... you know i want to wait for my mate, and you know my opinion on a forced marriage. Just because we would get married does not mean that neither of can't still find their mate, and then what? Is either of us just to step down from their title and leave a family behind? What if we were to have kids, how do we even start explaining that to them?" I started to raise my voice without even knowing but i saw my father wince at my words.   "Xanthe... i know what you mean and i get what you are saying, but i am getting old and i am afraid i would not be able to lead this pack if we ever were to be attacked by another one or worse. What would you have this old man do?" I looked at my father and wished i had the answers. But before i could react to his question he spoke " Look, just think about it and let me know in a week, that would give you enough time to mull this over in that brain of yours". I sighed and nodded my head " ok dad, i will THINK about it but i do NOT approve right now, we will see what the next week brings". With that i left his office.  Once outside i saw Cole standing near the window on the hallway and when i approached him he turned around and gave me a smile that any other girl would melt for. But not me, i was immune to his tricks. "So did the meeting with your dad go well?" Cole asked. I just glared at him. "I don't know what games you are trying to play here Cole, you know i love this pack and my parents with everything i have but i can not be married to someone who isn't my mate, i just won't!" I stormed off and left him standing there, looking like a beaten dog.
