The Day before Our Birthday
Mila POV
“s**t!!” I shouted as my alarm clock went off alerting me that it was the start of another day. The sun was shining through the window as I sat up looking around, “Who the hell opened my blinds?” I said wondering who was bold enough to walk into my room without being invited, that’s when I noticed that the shower in my bathroom was running and my sensitive werewolf nose could smell the ocean breeze soap that was surrounding the room and I knew there was only one person that uses that kind of soap “Chadwick why are you in my bathroom” I shouted while climbing out of bed making my way to the door of the bathroom “come out of there, I’m going to be late” all of a sudden the door flew open allowing a cloud of steam to escape surrounding me and Chad who stood there in nothing but a green dry towel wrapped around his waist looking like a scene from a teenage romance drama “oh hot damn” I thought to myself as my eyes trailed over his muscular chest down to his towel that hugged his waistline.
“like what you see,” he asked with amusement on his face. Taking a step back, I finally came out of my trance “why are you in my shower” I snapped at him while walking back to my bed and taking a seat on the edge. “If you must know Melissa stayed over or was it, Marisa, anyways, I don’t remember which twin it was but she’s taking a shower in mines, so I borrowed yours”.
Chadwick or Chad for short is one of 3 of my best friends he is what we call a player or an asshole whichever one fits the situation, he is 6’5, a muscular build which comes from all the training we do, he has light brown hair and silky smooth caramel skin complexion that compliments his hazel brown eyes which can draw you in when you look into them, many girls at our school says he is a god and that I am lucky to live with him, unfortunately for me, he sees me as his sister. I have been knowing Chad since before I could walk, we were born on the same day only difference is he was born in the morning and I was born later that night. Our parents were best friends and when my parents died on the day of my birth his family took me in and raised me as their own.
“Tomorrow is our birthday I can’t believe that my days as a bachelor will come to an end when the clock strikes midnight” Chad yell while getting dressed in the bathroom “I don’t know if I want to find my mate Mila” the bathroom door opens revealing Chad’s stressful face.
Sometimes it sucked being a werewolf because you can never choose who you wanted to fall in love with, the Moon Goddess has already chosen for you and when you turn 18 years old you shift into your wolf for the first time, opening the door for you to find your mate who is supposed to be your other half. To be honest it is sad because some wolves never find their mates and can never feel complete.
“You will be fine Chad, just wait until you get the feeling when you meet and bond with your mate. That special feeling you get when you meet her will make up for you not being able to sleep your way through all the single females at school” a small chuckle escapes my lips as I make my way to the bathroom to take a quick shower “Now out I need to shower”.
Chad POV
“I just can’t believe that our parents are making a big deal out of this by throwing a big party
and with all the unmated male and she-wolves” I said while slamming my car door as Mila and I reach the school campus.
“You have to remember that you are the future Alpha of the Eclipse Shadow Pack and finding your Luna is the most important part of becoming complete and taking over for your father,” Mila said with a big smile on her face. She always tells me that she wants me to become the best Alpha in the history of the Eclipse Shadow Pack but that was hard since my father currently held that title and I don’t think I can be better than him.
“I for one hope I find my mate tonight” her eyes twinkled as she spoke about finding her mate.
As we walked into the school I noticed a group of guys staring at her, enjoying her curves and the way her plump butt bounce in her tight jeans, I glare back at them shooting a look that tells them I will kill them in a heartbeat. Our friends tell me that I am overprotective of her they even joke about me being in love with her which is gross, she is my sister in every way that matters and I will never let anyone disrespect her.
“Hey, Mila why are you wearing those tight pants” I snapped at her “you’re going to get some pour sucker killed for checking out my little sister” she looks around spotting the same group of guys that I silently warned to back off.
“Hey, you do know that I am almost 18 years old and will soon find my mate, I’m not a kid anymore Chad” rolling my eyes I walked to my locker, thinking of when she changed from my little bratty sister to what she is today. Mila was 5’11, thick build with curves in all the right places that drove all the boys in school crazy, flat stomach with abs that makes even me jealous, she has waist-length red hair with natural deep curls, Caramel complexion and her green eyes are like magnets drawing you in putting you under a spell every time you stare into them at lease that is what my football teammate Paul says. I think he has been in love with Mila ever since we were pups. Paul is a bigger player than me and he knows not to touch my sister.
“Did you hear me Chad” Mila clapped her hands to get my attention “No, Sorry I uhm spaced out” rolling her eyes she turned to leave “Mila wait sorry really what did you say?”
Turning around she begins to walk backward “I said Mason and Jennie is waiting for us in the dining hall”
“Watch out” I scream but it was too late she had bumped into someone hard and was about to hit the ground.
Mila POV
As I crashed into someone behind me, I braced myself to feel the hard cold floor under me, but it never came instead I felt two pairs of hands on me saving me from a fall that I knew was going to hurt.
Looking around I notice that Chad and some unknown guy were holding me up “umm thank you but can you two put me down” my feet weren’t touching the ground they both held me up making sure that I didn’t fall.
Finally standing on my own two feet I turned around “Thank You” the look on this guy face was intimating, but he was gorgeous with his hazel brown eyes, muscular arms that made me want to run my fingertips over them, hair that was both red and brown looking and smooth golden-brown skin and from the looks of it he was about 6’5 the same height as Chad. He was just as much as a sexy god as Chad was. I know the she-wolves here will be prancing around him in no time.
“I don’t know who taught you how to walk but I am sure you're doing it wrong” he growled at me which pulled me out of my daze “Next time eyes in front” he snapped.
“I..I umm ssss” I started to stutter which only pissed me off but before I could say anything Chad stepped in “Watch the way you talk to her” Chad took a step forward pushing me to the side and stands right in front of him, which would have normally scared the average wolve but this guy didn’t even flinch which made me wonder if he was an Alpha or an Alpha son of another pack, you never know what you get at this school since this is the only school in the state for wolves.
“What are you going to do about,” the other guy said as he growled staring Chad dead straight in his eyes “Maybe you should teach your girlfriend how to walk” I can feel the heat of anger pouring off of them as they balled their hands into a fist.
“Hey, Hey Chad” I took his hand pulling him away “Let go, please,” I said knowing that if Chad was to get in one more fight he will be expelled from school. “Let’s go eat”.
Walking into the Dining Hall we make our way to the table that was for our Pack
“What took you so long Mila” Jennie said as she wrapped me into a hug “Don’t ask,” I said taking a seat.
“Oh girl, did you see the new guy he is delicious” before I could say anything Mason growled looking over at Jennie.
“Sorry babe, you’re my mate and all but I’m not blind,” she said with a smirk on her face.
“Oh, my Goddess, Jennie don’t bring him up Chad and I just had a little run-in with him,” I said looking over at Chad and noticing he had calm down.
“I can’t wait for the party tonight I hope you two find your mates and join the club,” Jennie said looking over at Mason. They found out they were mates when Jennie turned 18 years old 4 months ago.
Mila POV
“History class is the worst” I text Jennie who is two classrooms down the hall from me.
“No Math class sucks; Mr. Roberts is boring” Jennie texted back
“Mila, care to share with the class” My teacher Mrs. Tate said as she stood over me.
“Sorry Mrs. Tate,” I said quickly putting my phone in my backpack.
“As I was saying class we have a new student” She pointed to the guy standing in front of the class “This is Alpha Kade Worthington and he will be with us during this last semester of school” Mrs. Tate made her way back to the front of the class “I need someone to help him get caught up with this semesters work any takers” I looked up seeing all the she-wolves hands up in the air waving trying to get pick.
Alpha Worthington looks around the class his eyes stopping on me and an evil grin formed on his lips “Mrs. Tate, my friend Mila can help me catch up.” He smirked pointing at me.
I jumped up out of my seat “umm wait what” Alpha Worthington walked toward me, he looked at the girl that was in the seat next to me and stared at her, immediately she got up and gave him her seat “Thanks” he said while sitting next to me.
“Well, that is settled Mila you will help him catch up,” Mrs. Tate said before turning to erase the board and write down the new chapters for this week's lesson.
“Alpha Worthington, why would you do that? I don’t want to help you” I softly growled at him trying not to draw too much attention to us.
“I didn’t want to be paired up with any of these thirsty she-wolves and since you were the only girl in here that didn’t want to help me I figure it will be safer,” he said without even looking at me “Don’t call me Alpha Worthington, just call me Alpha Kade,” he said still not looking up at me.
“Plus, I don’t need help so don’t worry about it” Alpha Kade took down the notes that were on the board.
“What pack are you from,” I asked him I waited for him to answer me, but he never did.
The belled ringed and school was over now it was time to get ready for my party and hopefully find my mate.
Alpha Kade POV
Arriving home I went directly to my office needing to go over the list of packs in the state, I was expanding my territory and had moved here to New Orleans, Louisiana because it was considered to be a magnet for Supernatural beings.
There was a knock at my door I can smell the lavender lotion that I have smelled my entire life coming from the other side of the door “Come in mom” I said closing my map of the Louisiana packs before greeting my mother “Hello Mother, what do you need” she looked at me with and shakes her head while her eyes stared at me making me feel like I was a little boy in trouble.
“Why haven’t you gotten ready yet Kade,” my mother asked while sitting down in the chair that was directly in front of my desk “Mother, Must I go to this party I’m sure none of the she-wolves that will be there is my mate” my mother wasn’t happy with that response. I know she wants me to find my mate but honestly, I had bigger issues to worry about. Last month I turned 18 but I didn’t shift into my wolf, it’s not that I don’t have one because Aragorn and I talk all the time, he tells me its not time yet which pisses me off how can I be an Alpha who can’t shift. I have been an Alpha since the age of 13, that is when my father was killed by a coven of witches that came for me, he managed to kill them all but not before getting gravely injured. We still have no idea why they were looking for me but since that day we have never seen another witch again.
“Get your butt out of that chair and get ready, you might find her tonight, you need to find your Luna someone who can help you run and care for this pack it’s your duty as Alpha of the Crescent Moon Pack, now get up and get ready” My mother didn’t even give me a chance to rebuttal before slamming my office door and walking out “Damn shame an Alpha who is told what to do by his mother,” I said chuckling to myself as I got up and went to my room.
After showering and getting dress I made my way downstairs to see my mother dressed up “Mother, you are not going” I said taking in her attire.
“I am and I will now let’s go” taking a deep breath I shook my head and followed my mother outside. “Whatever let’s get this night over with”
