Chapter 1
At five-thirty in the morning, my dad knocked on the door. "Rise and shine, baby girl, it’s time for training," and I groaned, "Dad, I'm not in the mood; it’s a week till my twenty-fifth birthday…" I said as I pulled the covers over my head. I wanted to find my mate more than anything in the world. My dad opened the door and walked into my room. "Daddy…" I wined as I heard my bedroom door open. "I said get up, Mika, you know I don't like repeating myself." He said to me, "Fine, I'll be there in a bit." I huffed at him. "Good," He said, and I heard his footsteps get lighter as he walked away from my door; I growled as I threw a pillow at the door and then turned back over in bed.
After forty-five minutes, I got another knock on the door. "Sweetie, can I come in?" Can a sweet voice, and I rolled over in bed and let out a sigh. "Yeah, Mom, you came in," I said to her and I heard the door open, and she walked into the room and shut the door behind her. The smell of bacon, sausage, eggs, pancakes, and fruit came into my nose as I walked in. "I brought you breakfast." She said, smiling as I sat up in bed. "Your dad told me not to, but I was planning on in because I know what you are going through." She said, and I looked at her as I set the tray on my lap. "What do you mean, Mom?" I ask her, "Well, I was twenty when I and your dad met." She said too, and there was a flash of sadness on her face, but it left as fast as it came. "Your father is my second chance mate because my true mate was from the neighing pack, and when my pack went to help with a rouge attack, he got killed, and that was when I was seventeen years old. So I had to wait three years to meet your father." She said to me as she took a piece of watermelon and ate it, "I didn't know that, Mom." I said to her "I don't like to talk about it." She said to me as she kissed the top of my head "Now you eat up, and bring that down when you get done." She said as she got up off my bed and headed for the door. "Hey, Mom," She turned to me. "Yeah, sweetie." "Thanks for telling me that, Mom," I said smiling. "You're welcome, dear; just don't give up on finding your mate." She as she walked out of my room.
My phone started to play 'Highway to Hell' by AC/DC, and I let out a sigh as I picked up the phone. "What is it, a*s butt?" I ask my pain in the a*s older brother "a*s butt?" He sounded confused. "Yes, a*s butt, now what do you want?" I ask again, and he lets out a sigh. "You weren't at training this morning; Dad is pissed off." He said to me, "And this is something you wouldn't mind linking me about." "I tried, but have your yearly block up." He said to me, and I just hung up on him; I was not in the mood to deal with s**t. My older brother is just like my dad. They both can get mad, and I know he is mad at me, and I don't care at all.
Around ten in the morning, I threw the covers off of my body and put my feet on the floor. 'I want to find my mate,' I thought. 'So do I,' said my wolf Spirit. We both longed to be with our other half and it was hard to watch my brother and his mate be happy while I hadn't found my mate yet.
Oh, my moon goddess, I can't believe I forgot to tell you who I am; I'm so sorry about that. First off, my name is Mika; I'm a she-wolf, and my pack is called The Shadow Rose Pack. The pack is in Austin, Texas. Well, to be more precise, the pack is only one in Austin, Texas,s, so that is cool. Well I'm twenty-five years old, I am five foot and nine inches tall, and I weigh a hundred and sixty pounds. I have sugar cane blonde hair that goes a little past my shoulder blades, and ocean blue eyes. Also, I'm the only daughter of the Beta, and I'm the youngest child, which is a pain. My wolf's name is Max she is so pretty and she is very fast. She is six foot tall and that is tall for a Beta female. Her fur color is sun-kissed blond, and the tip of her tail is chocolate brown, which is so odd for any werewolf, but she rocks it; then her eyes are a baby blue color.
