Your Mate and Mine

Nixie’s POV: I awoke with a start, ice like water ran down my face, my sodden nightdress clinging to my body in the most unpleasant way. I spotted my older brother, Malachi, standing a few feet away holding a now empty bucket, and trying to suppress his laughter.  “What the hell!” I yelled at him leaping out of my bed which now was saturated with water and flying at him. If I had been able to I would have shifted right there and then, but I wouldn’t be able to until tonight. Mal though was four years my senior, so he dodged me easily, head flung back with his booming laughter, he exited my room , and hopped over the banister. I screamed in frustration as. I slammed my door closed, I could just about hear him calling up - “happy birthday Nix!” I went to my large en suite bathroom and turned the shower to hot, I hated to be cold, luckily being a werewolf it wasn’t something that happened much, but trust Mal to find a way. I sighed as I peeled of the wet fabric, and stepped into the high pressure cascade, this was better. Heat coursed through me and with it came my usual calm demeanour. I thought to what Mal had said, - happy birthday - that’s right today I would finally turn eighteen. I would meet my wolf for the first time, and at 10 pm exactly, I would shift! I had heard from some of my friends who sifted for the first time recently that this was really painful, so I was nervous, I really didn’t want to look like a wimp in front of any visiting Alpha’s. Many pack leaders had been invited tonight, my parents were the Alpha, and Luna of the White Star pack, and today was also the eighteenth birthday of Thom, who will be our new Beta when my brother takes over, so this was a very publicised event. On top of that tomorrow night would be the Alpha Ceremony where all of our parents would step down to enjoy retirement, and Mal, his wife Casey, Thom, and Zachary would become the new Alpha, Luna, Beta, and Gamma.  I felt a heat rise in my lower abdomen, as I thought about Thom, he was so annoying, we never had gotten on, but he was so hot. I’d walked in on him balls deep inside some random omega she wolf a few months back, he’d pulled out of her and looked at me almost apologetically which was odd. Just for moment I’d seen him all six foot four, and all eleven inches -respectfully- his muscular body coated in a sheen of sweat and the she wolfs arousal.  We’d never had any kind of relationship before, but I saw him stiffen further as he stood before me, and I’d felt that same heat, and I’d felt my juices pool in my underwear. I know he had smelt it, but I ran away embarrassed. We hadn’t spoken since, but I couldn’t get the image out of my mind. Feeling that familiar wetness I lent back against the shower glass, and inserted a finger, I pinched a n****e, and bit my lip. I moved my free hand lower till I found my tender button and rubbed it till I came undone. ... A sort while later I was warmly wrapped in a fluffy towel, getting ready for the day in my dressing room - being the Alpha’s daughter did have it’s perks. I put on a short blue dress, made from several layers of sheer silk, the neck showed just a little bit of cleavage, and it flared out above my hips into a floaty, pixie-like hem. I paired it with plain navy ballet pumps, and a sapphire pendant.  Turning to look at myself in the mirror, I smiled. I had pale skin, and a little pouty mouth, my eyes were large and green, framed by thick brown lashed, and my waist length hair hung in loose ringlets in all the shades of Autumn leaves. I was not ugly, but also not beautiful by the standards of many others in the pack, I was quite shy about it really, I also didn’t look much like the rest of my family, although I had inherited my mothers shape - if not her height- I was an hour glass, 32 DD breasts, perky, round bottom and tiny waist line,  on my slim toned legs I stood a mighty five foot! I chuckled at how much taller all the other wolves I knew were than me, and I hoped that when I found him, my mate wouldn’t mind. With that I left my room and descended the three flights of stairs to the pack house kitchen, where I was the last to arrive. “Aah the birthday girl finally graces us with her presence.” Said my father grinning. “Good Morning love,” mewed my mother enveloping me in tight hug. “Enjoy your showers?” Offered Mal laughing, much to the others confusion. Thom beside him smirked at me, did he know I’d been thinking about him? I felt my cheeks redden, so I hurried over to the coffee machine.  Casey was already there finishing up a cup, she handed it to me and smiled, “because it’s your birthday, you can have this one.“  Casey was a coffee fiend, so this was basically her way of showing that she cared. Suddenly she looked a little guilty, “ I’m sorry,” she whispered, “I did try to stop him, but you know what your brothers like.”  “Oh Yeah I know” I said, scowling.
