I Met My Mate At Midnight

Layla

Just like my mother before me I am the only female alpha of the Blue Moon Shadow pack. My mother had found my dad shortly after she became alpha. But that didn't stop my mom, she was just as involved in pack issues and decisions as my dad was. I have been alpha for about a year and a half. I turned sixteen three months ago, and my parents were growing concerned about me finding a mate to help me run the pack.

This morning was just like every morning for me. I woke up early to get pack training started. I showered quickly and walked into my closet. I grabbed a thong out and my purple workout shorts as well as a matching purple sports bra. I dressed quickly and ran down stairs to make a cup of coffee. I poured a cup and walked over to the pack house, which was just a two minute walk from the alphas house.

My beta Fenrir was already in the kitchen helping get breakfast ready for everyone. As I walked in he noticed me.

"Good morning alpha." He said as he bowed his head. The others bowed their heads while the muttered greetings to me.

"Good morning everyone. Lets get breakfast finished and head out to train." I replied.

They nodded their heads as the finished up.

"Yes alpha," was the conjoined reply.

I walked upstairs to Samara's door. Just as I was about to knock the door flew open. Samara was my third but also my best friend. She has bright green eyes and gorgeous blonde curls that frame her face. She is slightly shorter than me. But she is a little curvier than I am though. She is constantly reminding me of that fact. I'm not saying I don't have a figure because I have a pretty nice one, but she has more hips than I do.

"Good morning!" She practically shouted in my face.

I handed her my cup of coffee. Not that she needed it, she was way to hyper as it is. She is also the fastest member in the pack. We have her run messages to our allied packs to deliver messages. Samara smiles at the cup and downs it almost instantly. I just stare at her and roll my eyes. She laughs at this and heads down stairs to get some food.

Pack training went well. I had recently lowered the age of pack members who has to train, so now all of the younger teenagers were training to. (even though it was just the basics) I dismissed everyone for the morning so that I wasn't late for school. I was walking towards the garage of the alphas house when my mom walked out of the front door.

I greeted her warmly with a hug. " Hi mom!" She smiled and hugged me back.

"Good morning honey, how did you sleep?" She asked me.

" I slept okay just thinking about some packs stuff. You know the usual." I said. But she was looking at me with concern in her eyes.

'Why is she looking at us like that?' My wolf Zaria asked me. ' I'm not sure.'

"Mom is everything okay?" I asked her in a guarded tone.

" I just have a feeling something is going to happen today and I want you to be careful." I nodded to her words understanding that my moms instincts were always right. Her wolf Vivian was very wise.

"I'll be super careful today I promise." I kissed her cheek, then quickly ran upstairs to change into school clothes.

I dashed out through the house and to the garage to where my Ram was. My dad had gotten me this truck for my birthday and I loved it! It was a 2018 ram crew cab. So that Samara and Fenrir could ride along if they wanted. On the drive to school I noticed my wolf was packing in the back of my mind.

'What's wrong Zaria?' I asked her while I drove. But she didn't answer me.

When I got to school ii noticed a lot of other wolves in the parking lot. The school I went to was an all wolf school. About three other packs were in the school as well. The Palefang pack, The Crimsonbite pack, and my least favorite The Dark paw pack. My dad had told me that there may be a fourth other pack who might start attending the school as well, but he said it wasn't confirmed yet. Though I knew he was hoping they would attend. Just another pack to look for my mate. That's what he wanted, was someone to help me run the pack. I was going great on my own. My pack was just as strong as it was when my mother ruled by herself.

I couldn't help but roll my eyes at the thought of a mate. I mean I wanted one, who didn't. But I don't want some guy saying that I can't do what I want when I want. Let alone try to take my pack from me.

As I got out of my truck and headed into school. I headed straight to my locker and got my books for math and science. When someone grabbed my arm and pulled me into the little side hall.
