My mystery mate

Chapter 1

(Isla POV)

I wake to mother banging on the door "2 weeks to go now Isla" she said cheerily before wandering off to do her Luna duties. You see I am the only child of the packs Alpha and Luna, meaning I am destined to be the next pack Alpha and in 2 weeks I come of Age to find my mate. It's a big deal in every werewolves life, the same as 16 the first time you transition. 

I drag myself from my bed at 5 am but I have so much to do before I go to college. Yes I go to college much to the frustration of my father. He didn't understand why I wanted to go so badly. "Isla you still don't have to go the human world is a mess" my father says the same as every morning as I enter the dining room

“Yes dad i know and yet i am still going I need to see what the outside world is like”. I say poking my tongue out and start to laugh.

“That is not the behaviour of an Alpha” my mother glares at me. 

I look at my dad and roll my eyes as he starts to laugh. I grab my toast kiss them both and run up stairs grab my training kit of a black sports top and a pair of shorts and run 2 miles to the pack house to train with my best friend Jake our parents pray we will be mates but I know that's not the case. He is 2 years older than me and has already found his mate but he is yet to build up the courage to talk to her. He keeps complaining about Alex his wolf moping that he wants to talk to his mate. I, on the other hand, have no interest in finding my mate. 

“2 weeks Isla” Jake jokes which is a bad move on his part as he runs to the training ground and is knocked down. 

“Some Bata you will be can't even focus on an attack” I say as I stretch out my hand to help him back up. We train for an hour before we stop and run to the waterfall. It's our favourite spot away from everything and everyone we have always hung out here and told each other everything. 

(April 2 years ago 3 weeks to Jake's birthday) 

Jake pov

“Hey Isla” I say as I rush to the top of the waterfall where I see her legs dangling off the ledge. 

She looks so peaceful with the sun hitting her fair freckled skin. She swings her long red locks around as she turns to look at me with her big beaming smile.  I run to join her

“My dad is at it again”. Islas ice blue eyes glare at me. “He’s banging on about us being mates ugh why does everyone think it will be us. Yes we spend loads of time together but that's not our fault”. I hang my head

“As if you will be my mate” she says in a jokingly disgusted voice. “You will always be my beta though” she bumps my shoulder and winks as she begins to laugh. 

“You just wait Jake. 3 weeks and you come of age, you will be chasing some poor girl around not knowing what to say '' She laughs so hard that she falls into the pool at the base of the waterfall. She knows me so well I jump in after her and we spend the next hour splashing and playing in the water.

Present time Jake's pov

As I run to meet isla on the training ground “2 weeks Isla” I yell. Laughing I keep running not paying attention. 

Slam! I am flipped onto the ground as I look up into Isla’s ice blue eyes 

“Some Beta you will be can't even focus on an attack” she says

I know she is making fun of me but my pride is still hurt. We continue with our training before the run to the waterfall as we get there she slows and takes in the view. 

“I do love this place” she says as her eyes start to fill with tears.

“Hey what's up. Not like my Alpha to cry” I try to joke but she doesn't look amused. We walk to the ledge and sit there not talking. I wait for her to open up. Finally after half an hour she does. 

“What am I doing Jake? I want to travel and meet people, go back to the old country and meet other packs that have survived. My dad is thinking of stepping down as alpha but he won't until I find my mate”. She closes her eyes and when she opens them they are no longer her eyes, they are melody's her wolf. “I'm sick of it whether we find our mate or not we should be able to take over we are ready. Yes isla wants to travel but we have a duty to the pack” she snaps. I reach out to try and calm Melody. I place my hand on her head and bring her into me. We sit for a while as she calms and Isla comes back. “Ugh why are melody and I so conflicted” she grunts. “But she has one thing right why do I need some man to run the pack I run it perfectly well when  my father goes away” she sighs we glance at the time damn “I have to go” she says jumping up “I'm trying out for the athletics team” she says with a huge smile and starts to run.

“I bet melody will be happy she loves a bit of competition” I call as she vanishes into the forest.

“Damn right” I hear through my mind link I stand and laugh as I head back to the pack house
