CHAPTER 1: Prologue And The Preparation.
AMISHTA
I walked into the packhouse, trying so hard to ignore the pain running through my body. I had been to the hospital earlier where I found out that I was pregnant with my first pup. I am very excited to share the good news to Asher even though we both did not think that everything would happen so fast. I know that when he hears this news, he will surely want to mark me now, so that we can complete our matebond even though he wanted us to get to know each other better before he marked me. On the night we found out we were mates, we had mated because we lost control of ourselves.
I am on my way to tell him this happy news that I am pregnant with his heir in my stomach. This is what every Alpha would want, for them to get to meet their heir.
I was overwhelmed with so much excitement on my way to Asher that I did not pay much attention to my stepsister's scent coming from the direction to Asher's office. I am already in front of Asher's office, and I could hear it very clearly. Inside the office, moans and pleasure sounds were coming from inside the office. The pain I have been feeling for a while now inside my body gets stronger, and Ami is making small weak sounds inside my head.
I opened the door slowly to witness the shock of my entire life. The moans got louder and clearer, the smell of sweat and s*x mixed together hit my nose. While I was still in so much shock and in pain, I pushed the door to open completely and the sight before me made me freeze. My step sister Maya was bent slightly against the wall naked! I mean completely naked! She was moaning loud and hard. While my own mate Asher who was equally naked! I mean naked! Is standing behind my stepsister. He was thrusting in and out of her while groaning with so much pleasure. In there and then is my mate Asher and my stepsister Maya pleasuring and f*****g themselves, while I stand there and watch every action in pain and shock……

AMISHTA
I heard someone yelling and calling my name from downstairs, yeah! That's my stepmother. Her yelling woke me up from sleep. I reached over to take my phone from my bet table and then I touched my phone screen, I checked the time and I saw that it was 7:00 in the morning.
“Amishta!” Joan yells again more audibly.
I placed my pillow over my face and bit on it so that when I screamed it wouldn't be heard. I screamed into it with every strength inside of me. After screaming for 30 seconds straight, I finally got out of bed and walked downstairs to our big kitchen where I found Joan and Maya, my stepsister who was sitting by the side of the table. Maya had face masks covered all over her face while her mum was helping her with her makeover. She looked like she was getting ready for her big wedding.
“Get breakfast ready, Amishta. I am busy helping Maya get ready for the event later tonight as it is a big night.”
“But we still have like several hours before the event.”
“I know, but I want Maya to be ready and all set by then and I also want her to look much more beautiful than any other lady that will be present there tonight.” I just shrugged and looked away. Since there was no point in arguing with Joan, I might as well just get to work and begin to make breakfast for everyone.
Our Alpha turns 20 tonight and this is a tradition in the world of werewolves that once a male wolf turns 20 especially Alpha wolves, they are ready and mature enough to find their mates. This is always done so that the Alphas and male wolves can be considered mature and ripe enough to find their mate. While the she-wolves, on the other hand, must be 18 years of age before they can be ripe enough to find their mates and this shows how mature they are for their mate.
Tonight that our Alpha turns 20, every girl without a mate will be at the packhouse wishing that our Alpha will make them his mate. Some are also going there. If he does not find his mate, he could choose them as his mate.
For me, I find it very annoying and ridiculous that we ladies all have to be in the packhouse for display like we are some goods waiting to be purchased and taken away like we have no worth or value. So I decided to stay at home which my stepmother Joan thought would be a great idea since she doesn't want anyone stealing her daughter's show tonight. She doesn't want anything or anyone to stop her daughter from being our next Luna. My dad Mr Daniel on the other hand wanted me to be there just like every other lady in order for me to participate in our tradition. Being that I have not found my mate yet, and I was turning 19 soon, he was hoping I could be the Alpha's fated mate. Joan had spent almost all the money she had to make sure Maya would have the spotlight and look better than I or every girl that would be in the packhouse tonight as she was turning 18 already.
Before I, Joan or even Maya came into this family picture of today, my mum and dad grew up together as best friends who did virtually everything together. Both of them did not find their fated mate when they were of age and matured enough to, so they both decided to mate each other because they loved and cared about each other so much. One day, dad had to travel for work with the Alpha of that time, while he was working, he found his fated mate. He had to call my mum to tell her what was happening since he didn't know what to do. He loved my mum so much and never thought of losing her so he asked her for advice. She told him to bring his fated mate home with him so that he could get to know her and decide if he wants to mate her since she doesn't want to be in the way of stopping him from mating his fated mate. My dad did just that and brought Joan home. After some time, my dad found out that he loved my mum more than he could ever imagine even more than he loved Joan. He decided to break the bond with Joan. But before he could break the bond with her, my mum was attacked and killed in a rogue attack and this left him no choice but to keep Joan as I was only a few months old. Joan became pregnant a year after my mum died and then she was settled in properly, so she gave birth to her daughter Maya. Joan always tried so hard to make my dad love Maya more than I as Maya in her opinion is the true daughter of the family because she is the daughter of the fated mate of my father. To her loss, all her tricks were shattered as my dad gave us equal love and was not biased with his love for us.
The day had been all noisy and busy as everyone was getting ready for tonight. Maya and her noisy friends were disturbing the peace and quiet of the house with their so-called preparations and they were being irritating about the whole stuff so I decided to take refuge in my room alone like always. As I was about to settle and calm my head inside my room, I heard a knock on my door. I stood up Wonder who it was when I saw my best friend and the only friend I have standing and smiling widely at me.
“Amishta! Girl are you ready?”
“Ready for what?”
“Tonight, of course, silly! Or you want to tell me you got about tonight.”
“Oh that! No… not really…… I did not forget.”
Truthfully, I had forgotten that I and Betty had decided and agreed to get ready together at my place. She came inside my room and started to help me braid my hair as we only had two hours left before we all gathered at the packhouse. Betty had put my long blonde hair in a long braid hanging over my shoulder. She decorated my hair with beautiful purple shiny small clips into the braid. We kept our makeup very light, with purple eyebrows surrounding my purple eyes, a light blush on my cheeks and a soft pink lip gloss on my lips. I so much loved Betty's touch on my face as I looked in the mirror, I looked so stunning and amazing. I went to get my dress from my wardrobe, a simple long midnight purple silk dress with thin shoulder straps.
It was time, everyone left for the packhouse. Many ladies were already outside the packhouse when I and Betty got there. Some girls were dressed casually, some were dressed sexily and so on. It was finally time, and the long awaited and anticipated night was finally here. An elder came out from the packhouse and stood almost at the edge of the stairs. The door to the packhouse opened, and a strong scent of freshly made juice with lots of fruits hit my nose, making Ami, my wolf, to wake up in my head.
“Welcome! Everyone standing here tonight to witness our Alpha choose his fated mate and especially a bug welcome to all the beautiful she-wolves without a mate. As you all know that our Alpha will be choosing his mate who would be by his side as his partner, a mother to his pups, and most importantly to be his Luna.
All the ladies were so excited and we were made to stand in a long straight line next to each other but we were made to face the packhouse while on the line. Betty stood beside me in her midnight blue dress, matching accessories and matching makeup. While Maya was standing on my other side in her black dress which was exposing her cleavage so much and her legs.
The elder told us that he was happy to inform us that our Alpha Asher had been able to Smell a very strong and breathtaking scent so captivating that it could only mean that his fated mate was amongst us right then and here. Alpha Asher looked excited like every girl there to find his fated mate.
