ALPHA BLOOD

Chapter One Freya

"Freya get up its ten thirty you're going to be late for work!" My mother Andrea yells from downstairs. "Ughhh" I moan and throw my cover's off not really wanting to get out of bed.

I work at the Greyson moon packhouse cooking and cleaning for all the pack members of our pack. Normally I would work the dinner shift, but due to the Alphas son and my brothers' best friend, Jace returning home after four years of Alpha training we are having a celebration tonight. I have a lot to prepare. I quickly shower and put on blue skinny jeans and a yellow hoodie. I throw my long blond hair in to a messy bun and run downstairs to the kitchen.

Sam my older brother is sitting at the table with mum eating breakfast "Morning guy's" I say as I rummage through the papers on the counter looking for my car keys. Mum looks up and smiles at me, a smile which quickly drops from her face when she sees what I am wearing "you're not wearing that today of all days are you?" i look down at myself not sure what she means. "what's wrong with this?" I ask her confused. I peek over at Sam who also looks confused. " the future Alpha is coming home tonight and you're not even going to dress up a little?" she c***s an eyebrow at me knowing I will not have time to come home and change before the party. Sam and I look at each other and burst out laughing "really mum?" I question "trust me, I am not out to impress Jace like the rest of the town. I've known him since I was born, that would be weird" mum huffs at me and I laugh in return "yeah I don't think I would like it if you started dating my best friend" Sam adds with an odd look on his face. "not to worry brother, if Jace is anything like he was before he left and by that, I mean an As*****, and not to mention an arrogant one at that! you will have nothing to worry about" I tell him, my eyes flashing darkly. He just smirks at me, so I stick my tongue out at him, which he returns scrunching his face up.

Sam is starting to look more and more like dad every day. He is tall with piercing green eyes and shaggy blond hair. The main difference is that Sam likes his hair cut shorter around the side and wears it up in a man bun most the time, whereas dad let his fall over his face adding to his goofy charm. it pains me sometimes just being in the same room as Sam because I cannot help but to think of dad.

our father was murdered three years ago by the Blood Moon pack, over territory. They invaded our land while my father was on patrol one night. Not only did we lose my father, but we also lost a lot of other pack members too. I was only fourteen at the time, Sam was sixteen. We try not to talk about it while mums around as she has never fully recovered. Mum and dad where life mates and best friends. Mum once described to me that having a mate was like having an addiction, you always want it or want to be around it and then when it has gone it is all you can think about. Now she says there's just pain and emptiness after losing him, I still hear her crying in her room late at night when she thinks Sam and I are asleep.

Mum just sits watching Sam and i fool around with a smile on her face. "hey mum have you seen my keys?" I ask after I've turned the kitchen upside down searching for them. "yes, dear they are hanging on the hook by the door where you left them" she throws me a pointed look. I spin around to look and yep there they are, I would be lost without this woman. "thanks mum" I peck her on the cheek and mess up Sam's hair then quickly run out the door before he can say or do anything about it.
