My Mate, Her Brother

  I hate school! Sometimes I wish I could just burn the school down. As I walk to school with my girl best friend, Silver, and my guy best friend, Chanse, my childhood bully drives by and yells that I’m a s**t.  I flip her off and keep walking.  “ Sometimes I wish she would just move to a different pack.” I say.    “I mean you are the daughter of the most powerful couple of the country and your brother is the Alpha of this pack so you could get her kicked out of the pack” Silver says Looking at me like I should have known that. I look at her and smirk and burst into laughter.   “She would have to do way more than bully me for that to happen. My brother can’t just kick her out for bullying his little sister.” I say looking at Sliver. “ She will have to do way more than bully me and who knows she might just do way more than bully me someday.” I say shrugging.    After a few minutes of silence my phone goes off. I get a text from my brother, Ace, I read it and look up at my friends. “I gotta go. My brother needs me at the pack house today. I will see you guys later.” I say to my two friends. I wave and take off running towards the woods. Once I get to the woods I shift into my wolf form. I am a beautiful silver wolf with dark blue markings on my snout and back. These marks mean I am a royal. I am a very rare wolf seeing as I am a silver wolf.    It takes me about twenty minutes to get to the pack house in wolf form. I shift at the edge of the woods and walk up to the house to meet my brother.  As I walk to the door Ace opens the door to greet me. “ Hello sister. I am glad you could make it in such a short notice.”  Ace greets as I walk into the house.    “ Hello to you to brother.  I am glad to be here. Now down to business. Why Do you call me here? It must be important since you called me here on a school day.” I say, turning to look at Ace. He hugs me before motioning for me to follow him to his office.  We enter his office and sit down.  “ It is about your upcoming birthday. As you know you are the future Queen of the wolves.  So mother and father wanted me to let you know after your eighteenth birthday you have one year to find your mate or you will not be able to claim the throne.” Ace says. I look at him with an “I know this already” look.    “ Brother I learned this when I was eight. I know that if I can’t find my mate in a year then you will get the throne.” I say. Ace gives me a look telling me that he knows what I am thinking about the whole mate thing. I stopped believing in mates after our older sister who was supposed to be queen didn't find her mate and lost all her friends. After awhile she got depressed and killed herself.   A month has passed and my birthday is just a few weeks away. My brother is planning it himself. A wolves eighteenth birthday is their most important birthday. When a wolf turns eighteen they can finally start looking for their mate.   Last year mother and father came down for Ace’s birthday. On his birthday he chose to let me have the throne so he could take over his best friends pack when he passed from a car accident. All of the royal children are taught how to rule in case of an emergency or something happens to the others. Since my sister died it was Ace who was going to take the throne but since he decided not to it was passed down to me.  When I wake up for school I can smell bacon,and chocolate chip pancakes. My brother of course always cooks me breakfast before school. I hurry up and shower get dressed and do my hair and makeup. I wear my usual black holy jeans and a fishnet sleeve with a short sleeve shirt.  I don't dress like a royal because no one is supposed to know I am a royal until I take the throne. After school Silver and I walk to the dress store to pick out my dress for my birthday. We talk about who I hope will be my mate and the new boy that is coming to our school and whether we think he will be cool or not. “ I heard he has a sister that goes to our school and that he is transferring from a school out of state. “ Silver says. She looked over to see if we had arrived at the dress store. She sighs once she sees that we have in fact arrived.
