The Enslaved Wolf Queen

Adelaide POV: My morning started as every morning in my life, except today was my eighteenth birthday. I did my usual morning routine and dressed in my white dress with red flowers on it, paired with my beige-cropped jacket and suede ankle boots. I grabbed my backpack and headed out. My father was not around, he was on a trip hunting the beasts of the north. A pack had been sighted, and the latest intel was that they were turning more and more humans by day. I stopped and picked up the framed picture of my father and mother. He had a claw-marked scar across his cheek, it was so deep that after 18 years it had not faded, but he seemed to enjoy the displeasure and fear it brought along with it. I put the frame down, and headed out. At the Academy, it was the usual hustle and bustle of teenagers. In and out of class, gossiping in the halls. Flirtations happening by lockers. Just your usual high school environment, except there were a few of us that were not usual. We were hunters. Daniel through his arms around me, picking me up from behind and swinging me in a circle while my back was pressed firmly against his chest. I laughed as he put me down, I turned around, and we kissed passionately in the middle of the hallway. "Ew!" Gagged his twin sister Danielle, we pulled away ignoring her, and she put her arms out between us breaking us up. "Just because she is 18 doesn't mean you guys have to do it right here in the middle of the hall," she said in a dramatic tone. "Speaking of 18," I said looking at her, "did you bring it?" I asked, and she gave me a knowing grin, "how could I ever let the master hunter down?" I rolled my eyes and grabbed her backpack, opening it and eyeing her, "three bottles of tequila?" I asked, "who else did you invite?" She blushed, "just some people." I looked back at Daniel, and he pushed past his sister putting his arm around me, "baby, I have something planned for tonight," I looked up at him with my siren eyes, "what is it?" I asked, "it's a surprise," he said, and I bit my lip. I watched as his eyes glanced down to my lip, he pulled me in by my hips and kissed me hard. "Hey!" Shouted a teacher, "get to class!" We separated and held hands, walking to class together. The day was dragging on, and it was nearly fifth period when Danielle came and dragged me away from the entrance of my biology classroom, "What are you doing?" I asked as we pushed through the oncoming traffic of students walking in our direction to their classes. "Saving you from the irrelevant study of mitosis." I laughed as we scurried out of the school doors, when it closed behind us, it was like I was seeing the world for the first time, the air smelled sweeter and the trees looked greener. Danielle tugged on my arm, pulling me forward towards Daniel's car. We got in, and he started the ignition, the engine roaring to life. "Ready for the best day of your life?" He asked, "With you, it's always the best," I said before leaning in to kiss him, while Danielle made barfing sounds in the back. Midnight City was playing on the radio as we drove down the lonely roads. Danielle was pouring shots of tequila as we increased the volume on the radio. "One, two, three!" She screamed, and we downed the shot, my throat burned, and she shook her head, sticking out her tongue. "Another!" She screamed, and I laughed as we downed three more. Daniel's hand found my thigh and our eyes met knowingly. Tonight was the night. We pulled in front of the lake house, and headed inside. Danielle walked up the steps, her phone in her hand, "so the hunters will be here around 8, and it seems like a lot of people have RSVP'ed," she said distracted, "how many people are we talking?" I asked, "Just a few," she answered suspiciously, "twin, I need the car!" He tossed her the keys and she headed back to the car, "where are you going?" I asked, and her response was just to wave her hand dismissively as she pulled out of the drive, leaving Daniel and I alone. I walked into the empty yet beautiful lake house, Daniel found my hand, his fingers intertwining with mine. I pulled him against me as my back hit the wall. He liked it when I took the lead, I shoved my tongue into his mouth and he responded favourly, his hands running up my arms as he cupped my face, his lips moving to my neck. I moaned, as I felt for his pant's buckle. "We should slow down," he said, stopping, his voice breathless. Our chests were heaving in sync, "why?" I asked. "I don't know," he said and slammed his lips back into mine. My heart was racing faster now, his hand was slowly running up my smooth thigh, and I had lifted my leg against his hip.
