Eighteen. The age you can finally meet your mate. Every she-wolf I know cannot wait until their eighteenth birthday. Me on the other hand ? I’m not excited at all. I turn eighteen in 2 days and I am dreading it. I know my birthday doesn’t mean I’ll for sure meet my mate right away. Maybe he’s from a different pack ? Hopefully he doesn’t exist. Maybe the moon Goddess blessed me with not having a mate. If I do have a mate I’m rejecting him. I can’t afford to be distracted by a mate.
I’ve spent the last 17, almost 18, years planning my revenge, getting stronger, and training. I can’t let a guy stop me. This is just too important. Two days… in two days my life might change forever. And for some reason I really feel like it’s going to be a big change.
Maybe I’m worried for nothing. I mean turning 18 isn’t just about mates. You also get your wolf and shift for the first time! Maybe that’s all that will happen. I can’t wait until I shift for the first time. Train in my wolf form. Go for a run in the forest and feel the air through my fur. Maybe my eighteenth birthday won’t be so bad after all.
Its 5 am, im getting ready to go to training before school. A knock on my door snaps me out of my thoughts.
“Come in.” I said
“Good morning Honey you ready? Cullens waiting for you downstairs.” Said mamma Stell.
“Good morning mom. Yeah I’m ready let me just put my hair up and I’ll go down.”
“Ok baby girl. I’ll let him know.”
I stand in front of the mirror looking at myself. I can’t help but compare myself to my mom Selena. Grandpa and grandma gave me many pictures of my mom Selena growing up. I look just like her straight long dark raven hair that lands just above my butt, lightly tan skin almost sun kissed, plump full lips, small button nose, soft angled eyebrows, and almond eyes. The only difference between my mother Selena and I is that she had brown eyes while I have dark forest green eyes with specks of honey. My body is somewhere between hourglass and pear shaped. I have a nice rack if I do say so myself, 32C. I guess training to kill my number one enemy, well only enemy, really does have its advantages. Flat stomach with a defined six pack, ass for days, and huge thighs. All of that on a 5 foot 4 inch 135 lbs package. I know I’m short but don’t judge me based on my height and weight. I pack a mean punch and thanks to my height I’m very stealthy. Won’t see me coming until it’s too late.
“KHAL COME ON WE’RE GOING TO BE LATE!” Yelled Cullen
“I’m coming!” I yelled back as I ran down the stairs.
“Damn Khal. You know we can’t be late. Landon teaches the morning class and he’ll have our asses if we show up late.” Said Cullen
“Ok ok. I’m ready let’s go.”
“Really Khal ? Shorts and a sports bra. You know we’re training outside. It’s March for f**k sake it’s still cold out when the suns not up. And hello the sun isn’t up yet. At least take a sweater or something.” Lectured Cullen
“Cullen. Werewolf’s can’t get sick. And you know our bodies can withstand the cold a lot better than humans. We’re going to be working out. I’m going to sweat. Why do I need a ‘sweater or something’.”
“Okay smart ass let’s get going then”
“WAIT. Here have a smoothie before you guys leave. Can’t train on a empty stomach.” Mamma Stell said as she handed us strawberry and banana smoothies with cinnamon. My favorite!
“Thank you mom it’s delicious. What would I do without you.” I said as I kissed her cheek.
“Yeah thanks Mrs.D. You really are the best” said Cullen in between chugs.
“Ok now hurry and go before Landon makes you guys run extra laps.” Said mom Stell
“Bye mom love you!” I yelled back while Cullen and I run to the training field.
We made it just in time. 5:30 am right when Landon was walking out. Landon Anderson the oldest of Alpha John’s four kids. Next in line to be alpha. Also the biggest man w***e Crescent Moon Pack has seen. He’s 24 years old and yet to find his mate. How lucky is he ? He has no one to distract him from his Alpha duties. Sleeps with random woman whenever he wants and goes right back to taking care of business. I get what he’s doing and why but I can’t help feel bad for his mate. If he ever does find her she is in for a big surprise, poor girl has a lot of competition. Can’t blame these girls from trying to be with Landon he’s a very good looking man. Caramel skin, tattoos from his neck to his feet, short wavy hair fade, full lips, short stubble beard, round blue eyes, thick black eyebrows. Let’s not forget his impressive 6 feet 5 inch height! This man has muscles on his muscles ! Ok ok so maybe I’ve checked him out a couple of times… But I’ve never tried to make any type of moves on him. Like i said no distractions from my main goal. Not even one as good looking as Landon.
“Ok class so we’re going to warm up with a 10 mile run. Don’t forget to stretch. After the run we’re going to continue our hand to hand combat.” Yelled Landon.
Ok time to kick some ass before school.
