The Alpha Princess

(Lydia) My parents are the Alpha and Luna of the gravestone pack. They had always prayed to the moon goddess for a son to take over our pack one day. But unfortunately for them all they had was a daughter. I am 17 with my birthday coming up in 2 weeks. When I finally turn 18 my wolf will emerge and I will have someone to talk to about this life style. Even though I am an Alphas daughter does not mean I make friends easily. I am as my mother would say "thick headed". I feel there is no reason for a mate to be able to rule a pack. As you can guess that's highly unheard of. After school I go back to the pack house and study up on the pack laws as well as training 2 times a week. Today is no different or so I thought. When I got home my mother Luna Scarlett was waiting for my arrival. "Sweet heart, what took you so long?" "Hey momma, sorry I was caught up in my studies" "Well we have to start planning out your birthday party.Your father and I talked about inviting the neighboring packs to come celebrate your coming of age" "We really don't need to make a big deal about this. It's not like I have many friends to invite. Can't we just have a family dinner instead?" "Absolutely not Lydia. This is a big day for you and we will celebrate it properly!" "OK, Fine mom." I walk away not wanting to think of my birthday right now. I was a simple girl whom I don't really see as beautiful or anything like that. My hair is a long straight reddish brown color and I have a slim slightly muscular body thanks to my training. Honestly I'm not even sure if I want to find my mate so soon. I have heard so many stories about mates being so love sick and if something bad happens to one it almost kills the other. It just seems a little extreme to me and I mean I'm not sure that really for me. I know the moon goddess has a mate for everyone of us but is it really necessary to find that person at just 18 years old? Hopefully I can be like some werewolf that don't find their mate until a few years later on in life. Night is approaching and all I want to do is take a walk alone to clear my head. As I'm walking by the flower garden I accidentally bump into Trey our Betas son. Also known as every girl in schools favorite senior. Please he's arrogant and thinks he's the best guy to walk the earth. "OH s**t I'm so sorry Trey. I wasn't watching where I was going" "Yeah your right you should watch where you are going next time!!" "What ever at least I apologized. You don't have to be a d**k about it." I walked off back to the packhouse even more in my head then before. Why do guys got to be suck A******s. Ugh. I get back inside and pass the ranking members at the dinner table completely ignoring them for I don't feel like talking. I saunter up the stairs to my bed and immediately fall into a deep sleep. (Luna Scarlett) I worry so much about Lydia and the fact she has such a hard time making friends. You would think with her beauty and being an alphas daughter she would have loads of friends. But I know how stubborn she gets and realize that is probably why. As I sit eating dinner with the ranking members of the pack, I see Lydia come in looking a tad bit irritated. I get up to check on her but she's off up the stairs to her room so I just let her be. I walk over to my mate Alpha Jamie and give him a quick peck. Then sit back down next to him and join the conversation at hand. "Jamie my love, I feel we should talk with Lydia tomorrow. She just does not seem herself tonight. She even skipped dinner." "Scarlett she is a 17 year old girl. I'm sure she don't want her father coming to chat about her emotions. That is why the goddess made mothers" He gave me a kiss on the cheek. I know he is right Lydia would absolutely hate having her father but into her private life. I just wish she would let me in a little bit so I could give some insight. Was it about finding her mate? Are pack members being cruel to her? Hopefully she can give me a little something tomorrow morning. The night is upon us and it's time for my mate and I to finally get some rest. Tomorrow I will chat with my Lydia over some breakfast.
