Finding her Love

My 16th Birthday!

~Dylan's POV~

It was late my I just could not sleep and my wolf was restless so I got up to walk around the pack house since it was quiet and eveyone else was asleep. I knew my way around the house well this was not the first time I had been here. In fact I use to spend a lot of time here when I was a kid. When walking was not helping to settle my wolf I was about to do for a run when I heard a shower and smelt the most delightful smell. As soon as I took in the scent Jacob, my wolf, went crazy. I took a deep breath and follwed the scent first it took me to a laundry room no on e was there but the washing machine was running so I knew someone had to be somewhere. Still following my nose I approached the bathroom and heard a shower on.

I stood maybe six feet from the running shower just letting the sweet aroma fill my nose and I knew I just could not barge into the shower stall to see who was on the other side of the thin red cloth. Suddenly the shower shut off and i stood there paralyzed not sure when to do. Then suddenly there she was. I now knew what the sweet apple and candle smell was. She was smaller than most she-wolves but she had some of the prettiest fair skin I had ever seen and her eyes were as blue as the summer sky. I just stood there looking at her with amazement unable to leave her. She just stood there afraid, but I had no idea what she was so scared of. Finally I snapped out of it and turned to leave her and she never looked up at me. I paused and glanced back at her still not moving and said just as quietly as possible that she was a perfect mate. I knew she could not hear me but it felt great to say.

I decided not to let my wolf out to go for a run. We just did not want to be away from her. We feared she was scared of this place. We did not leave the floor she was on. I was hanging just around the corner when I felt my phone vibrate. It was Colton 'Hey man cant sleep and your not in bed. Lets go see what we can get into'. I sighed I was not a fan fan of my cousin he was mean and careless. I replied back as simple as I could 'n the kitchen'. I knew I had to go there now or he would be wondering around until he found me. I was about to step around the corner when I saw her walk into the laundry room to finish it hopefully for the night she needed to rest.

As soon as I closed the fridge from getting a drink Colton walked in with a mischievous grin on his face. He quickly got a drink and made a sandwich. After eating he just sat on his phone and I washed up his plate as fast as I could. They made all the cooks clean any dush and I just did not like that. It should not be someone elese mess when you are not eating during a regular meal time. Colton glanced up at me as I washed and just rolled his eyes. As I put away his dish he said, " Come on. I'm going to sgow you what we do for fun." We headed for the laundry room my mate was still in there I could smell her. I already did not have a good feeling about this. When we walked in our eyes met and neither one of us could stop staring into each others eyes. When we suddenly heard Colton's evil laugh. We looked around and now I knew what he meant. They tortured her. I felt a wave of emotions. I felt sorry for her, helpless and I was pissed. I knew they were mean wolves but this was just cruel. I gave her an apologetic look and followed Colton out. I knew I was going to have to talk to my parents about this.

~Izabel's 16th Birthday~

Friday morning it was the same routine but somehow this morning felt different. I did not know how but I knew it was I felt happy and well rested despite going to later than usual. Maybe it was because it was my 16th birthday and this day was suppose to start my journey to finding my mate and spend the rest of my life happily in love. Maybe my wolf, Aria did not get the memo that this was not a happy day that it was just like any other day and nothing was ever going to change. My wolf and I did not talk much she does not like how we are treated and wants to come out and put everyone in their place while I like to stay quiet and not be seen she also does not like that I always have to remind her that we do not get a normal life.

As I was getting ready I felt like I should look a little nicer. I put on makeup and dis my hair in an updo. I got dressed in some holey jeans, not the kind that purposely have holes in them but hole from working in them, I just liked how they looked with a flowy top. Hopefully I was back to my normal self tomorrow because this was my last decent out fit.

As I walked to school I felt better than usual maybe even a little happy? When I was approching the school I saw Aubree walking up to the school I hollared for her she turned and waved then continued to walk into the building. This was odd because normally she would wait for me and make a comment about whatever I was wearing. She was not at my locker and was no where in sight. I signed grabbed my things and headed to math. Aubree was already in there I gave her a puzzled look and she looked down at her desk. I sat down just as the bell ranf and the teacher began to talk. Aubree passed me a note that read : Sorry I am not allowed to talk to you anymore. I am glad you look nice today.

Just like that my happy mood was gone. Was not even allowed to have a decent birthday? I turned my attentuon back to the front of the room. I was glad I was able to get a jump on my school work knowing I was not going to have time this weekend. The whole school must have known this was suppose to be my special day because they were worse than usual. I was tripped pushed and punched on my way to my second class. Luckily I sat in a back corner by a door in history so I was not picked on to much during class and could get out fast. Going to gym was just as bad but not as bad a the class its self. Dodge ball. The teacher looked right at me and grinded as he accouned to the class we were to be playing dodge ball. Like normal it was the pack leaders kids and the top worriors against the rest of us. They did not even try to hit anyone else. First ball thrown made contact with my right temple knocking me to the floor. Then came every other ball thrown my way.

The bell rang and I took off for the pack house running as fast as my human legs would carry me. I ran right to my bed changed and got into the kitchen with no time to spare. I helped clean up the lunch just as Angela walked in to annoyance dinner. I cut the vegtables and meat tonight since there were many vegtables needing prepped. Cooking, serving and cleaning up went smoothly. We were told to be back in the kitchen by 4:30 in the morning to start on breakfast which was to be french toast, eggs, bacon, sausage, fruit salad and fresh squeezed juices.

I left the kitchen and started cleaning the rooms that did not really get used much begore heading to bed. I was just not tired. Ever since stepping foot into the walking into the pack house he was all I could smell and it was calming and I just wanted to enjoy the amazing scent. He was all I could think about and I just wanted to see him again. It was almost as though I was following the sent to the lounge room because there he sat. As soon as I walked in he must have known because he just looked at me. Did he smile at me? Then there was Colton. As soon as I stopped walking he started with his ugly words. "Izabel what the hell are you doing in here? was loosing your best friend not enough for your horrible birthday?" His words hit me like a ton of bricks I just looked down at the floor and stuttered. S..sor..sorry. But before I could leave the room he was there. Colton grabbed me by the neck and held me against the wall barely able to breath he let out one claw and cut a huge chunk out of my hair then dropped me. I laid on the floor crying while my mystery man just looked at me. I was broken. I finally got up and ran to my bed. After crying for some time i got up amd took the scissors to the rest of my hair. it was now all the way up to my shoulders. I laid back in my bed and cried my self to sleep.
