The Alpha's Daughter's Forgotten Curse

Welcome.

The full moon was at its highest peak, you could hear the sounds of flesh ripping, teeth clashing together, deep and dangerous growls rippled through the almost bare trees.

It was the night of the great war. The war that is still sung about.

That same night, the higher powers watched as all of their children waged war amongst themselves. Vampires, werewolves, witches, wizards, dragons, everywhere as far as the eye could see. Blood seeped into the white snow, but the thing is, no one is sure what caused this war. Was it the need for more land? The need to dominate the supernatural world? Or was it because of forbidden love? No one knows as the tale of this fateful night has been told from word of mouth.

Any documentation of what the war was about has been burned to ash. One thing is for sure, the higher powers were disgusted and disturbed by the acts of their children and the bloodshed that occurred thousands of years ago.

*Crystal Pov*

I woke up in a cold sweat, gripping my bedsheets while panting.

"That damn dream again," I growl softly before throwing the blankets off me. I grab my phone to peek at the time.

"4am, great," I mutter while sitting up.

I'm quick to make my bed and walk slowly towards my bathroom that's connected to my room for a most definitely needed shower. I don't understand why I keep having nightmare-type dreams about the war, but I never let them get to me. Tho they have been getting more frequent as my birthday approaches, I highly doubt it means anything.

Hi, my name is Crystal, and I am turning 18 in a month. I am the firstborn female to Alpha Samson Green and Luna Lily Green. My parents are kind yet stern. Our pack, Pack of the Moon, is a relatively peaceful pack. We lived in the mountains of Pennsylvania, hidden from the human world. Our pack was one of the strongest and wealthiest packs in the Americas. But even though we are a rich pack and our members live in lovely cottages scattered around rent free, we all still had to work, go to school, and attend pack duties.

But enough about that for now. Today is the final day of school before Christmas vacation and man is school busy.

As I walked through the front doors of the school, I was greeted by Lizzy and Charlie. The three of us were always good friends. Well, Lizzy and I met Charlie when his mom Scarlet would come to the packhouse to work in the kitchen.

You see, Charlie is a mid level Omega, his father, Christopher, was our head trainer for our pack. Sadly, we lost Christopher when he and a bunch of other warriors went to give a helping hand to a neighboring pack, the Evergreen pack. They have had some serious rogue issues, and Christopher was blindsided while trying to secure that pack's northern border. It was definitely a sad day for our pack.

I attend Moon lite High school (ironic I know) and it is my senior year. My best friend is Beta Vane and Beta Vienna's daughter Lizzy. She's a few months younger than me, but we have been two peas in a pod since we were in diapers. You could not believe the shenanigans she and I could get ourselves into. This one time we decided to play a prank on one of our fellow pupmates Charlie. He's a year older than us and has always fancied Lizzy.

The prank you ask? Well, it definitely involved Lizzy trying to convince Charlie that she had temporarily forgotten who he was. It was definitely a poorly executed prank because she couldn't contain her laughter any longer while he desperately tried to understand how Lizzy could have possibly even forgotten who he was.

"There's my sexy wifey!" Lizzy exclaimed while excitedly hugging me.

I groan and roll my eyes playfully.

"What's for you so excited this morning, my fine furry friend?" I ask while opening my locker.

"Well, a little birdie told me that we are going to be hosting a ball for your birthday next month!" Lizzy said while wiggling her eyebrows.

"I wonder what eye candy will show up. Maybe I'll even find my mate," she said with love and hope swirling in her icy blue eyes.

"It's a good thing you and I were born a few days apart! Wouldn't it be amazing if we found our mates at the same time?" I ask as I shut my locker. "Oh shoot, we are going to be late for the first period!"

Mrs Greenfield was a stickler for the rules but never gave Lizzy and I a difficult time for being late since well, we are the alpha's and beta's daughters. That status definitely came with its perks, but she and I always tried to set a good example for the rest of our peers. We had just about every class together, which in itself was simply amazing.

Before we knew it, it was already lunch time, every werewolf's favorite time of the school day. We had a buffet styles lunch that was completely free since our pack is able to provide many opportunities for the younger generation. I couldn't be prouder to be a part of a pack that cares so deeply for education.

Education is important, but we don't have "normal" classes that humans would have to do. We instead learn about supernatural history, about the different higher powers, and even our very own training area. Everything a growing werewolf could possibly need to succeed in life, no matter where or who we ended up with.

Lizzy and I walk into the cafeteria hand in hand.

"There are my two favorite girls!" Was yelled out as we came through the doors.

"Charlie! How are you holding up?" Lizzy asked as we approached our table.

"As good as can be expected. Dad didn't die in vain, and that's all that really matters," he said as he stood up to join us to grab some food.

"That is very true, Charlie. We are here for you always!" I said proudly while holding out my pinky.

"Exactly! Through thick and thin, we have each other's back, as it should be!" Lizzy states as she gripped my pinky with hers.

"I don't know what I would do without you two in my life," Charlie said softly, looking at Lizzy with pure love in his brown eyes.

Man, I really hope Lizzy and Charlie are fated mates. I would just die from pure happiness for my two friends.

Charlie is already 18 but refuses to tell us if he's found his fated, but I have a suspicion that it is definitely Lizzy. I swear, Charlie and Lizzy would make the cutest couple, but our parents ingrained it into our heads that's why, yeah, s*x is amazing, but it's best to wait for our mates. You see, mates are essentially soulmates. Two pieces to a puzzle that fit perfectly together. Your mate is the most sacred treasure that you could ever been given. They completely and compliment you in every way possible.

I genuinely hope that Charlie and Lizzy end up together, yeah she would technically lose her "beta" status, but we were raised to understand that who we end up with is for a reason and to never take it for granted.

I mean, yeah sometimes mates will reject each other for stupid reasons and for perfectly understandable reasons, but we should always give our mates a chance.

Lunch flew by and before we knew it, it was time to head home. Charlie shifted into his sandy coloured wolf, Link. Link was a gorgeous wolf, that's for sure.

I can't wait until it's my birthday. I wonder what my wolf would look like. What her name would be.

Man, this month needs to hurry up!

As we made the short walk back to the packhouse, Link was prancing around us, playfully nipping at our heels. We usually race home because who doesn't love to run? But today we opted to just walk and chat about the upcoming party.

"I wonder what packs will be joining!" Lizzy exclaimed with her hand resting on Link's head.

Yeah, Link is that large in wolf form that we can rest our arms on his head without being in an awkward position. How cool?

"I'm not sure, but mom said that at least 10 alphas have rsvped already," I said.

"10?! Wow. This is definitely going to be such a great turnout."

Link grumbled in agreement. Since Lizzy and I aren't 18 yet, we aren't able to communicate with link through our packs' mindlink. He knows this yet loves to be in his wolf form.

"What a pain," I think to myself as I watch Lizzy and Link walk together.

"Lizzy, are you excited to meet your wolf?" I asked as we stopped to open the door to the pack house.

"You know it! I can't wait to know who she is and what she looks like. But most importantly, I cannot wait to see who my mate will be!" She said dramatically.
