Another Chance

Chapter 2-Glimpse of Last nights

26th December, 2006

Dear Diary,

What an eventful night last night was. I almost got caught in the bathroom. You know I was on call making love with Vikram when my mom walked into my room. My mom can be a bit nosy sometimes. No scratch that, she can be nosy all the time. I am going to be 18 in a few months, yet I feel like I live in a golden caged prison.

Vikram is 24, without a mate yet, and he still lives so freely. I guess that's another thing that I am attracted to. I wish I could have that too. When will Mom understand that I need some space too? I am almost an adult now. Okay, let's give it a few months more. Thats it.

Speaking of last night. It was steamy, to say the least. If not for interruption. I almost felt like I was on cloud nine. Vikram's eyes do things to you. Just his gaze can make your feet tremble. He is like a textbook-looking knight in shining armor, tall, dark, and handsome. He has those dark eyes that see through your soul. His lips are "totally" kissable. His alpha blood makes him attractive. Well, a few more months. Then everyone will know that we are mated by the Goddess herself. And no one will come in between us. We already feel the pull towards each other like we are mated. There is not a single night that we don't, you know...

Priyanka thinks it's overrated. I don't. My feelings for him are true. I want him to be my first and my last. He says he will taste me when I am 18. I am waiting for the coming summer. Thinking about it makes my body wrap in tingles. I have heard you feel electric sparks through the mate bond. My birthday is also important because I will meet my wolf for the first time then. Mom says, i should start feeling her presence soon. Maybe the new year will bring me new blessings. My bestie will also turn 18 next year. We are both excited. My birthday is before hers. She is saving herself for her true mate, like me. But in my case, I already feel a bond. Other than her, no one knows about this. Or the happy ending could go wrong in so many ways.

Although I write to you, dear diary, like you will respond magically, someday when I recount our love story I will read this and probably blush. You know, last night, after Mom called me finally went to sleep. I touched myself again and I came just looking at Vikram's photograph. His stern look, and his biceps which can be seen through his black blazer in the photograph, are so inviting. Just thinking how he would look at me, I undid twice. Then I was tired and I slept.

I got up this morning to get to the training and pick up a few weights. I told Priyanka about being almost caught. You should have seen her face, how shocked she was. She disapproves of this, but I know she is trustworthy since we have been friends for as long as I can remember.

Did I forget to introduce my family to you? So, I am from Silver Moon Pack. I have visited other backs, but there is nothing like home. I have yet to visit Vikram's pack though. I am sure it will be as awesome as him. Sorry, got off track again. Right, My pack is located near a beautiful sparkling lake, Silver Moon Lake. At night, it seems the lake is blessed by the Moon Goddess herself. The ripples shimmer like silver ornaments. Our pack is the most flourished among many others. My Dad is the most respected alpha among the neighboring packs. His wolf is a black one, the fiercest I know and the most lovable too. My mom is twin sisters. My aunt is the pack witch and pack doctor, Selene. We know under whose influence Grannie was under to give her that name. Aunt Selene is another pain, but she is more fun than my Mom. Aunt Selene's mate is also a wizard, Uncle Fredrick. Uncle Fred for short. The couple spins magic like a tailor makes clothes. Okay, a bad example. They are good at their job and they are awesome people. Just don't get under their bad books. My cousins are Sarah and Neil. Neil is younger than me. Sarah has already mated with Sherief. And lives in our pack. Sherief is training to be the next Beta, when I take over the pack as the pack Alpha. Because of that, it's a long time.

So, even if my exams are over, and we are waiting for the results next year, I still have to go through rigorous training every day, while others enjoy it. Okay, others have to train too, but I have to do it much more. At least to me, it's too much. There are so many secrets that I have to keep about myself. They say it's for my safety. I still don't understand what the need is when we are already the strongest pack.

You will think I love to write a lot. I don't. I just have too much time on my hands today. The day is almost over. I am just waiting for dinner time. All these introductions are necessary to get to know me. It's your first time after all. Today was an unusual day. I am just awaiting another 'happening' night. I just hope there are no disturbances tonight. I miss Vikram already. Other than a simple Good Morning, there weren't any messages from him today. I think he is pissed off because I had to switch off the phone last night. Beyond curfew hours, I am not allowed to keep the phone switched on. Gosh! Now you know this is a golden cage. There are just so many rules to follow. Usually, I am a good girl. I follow all the rules. But when it comes to Vikram, I just can't help it. I want to talk with him and the night is still young.

We eat together at the pack house together. I need to give a pause. Let me have dinner and come back and continue while we both wait for Vikram.

Lots of love to my one and only Vikram and you my pretty diary.

Muah Muah! Off I GO.
