The Powerful Mate

Chapter 3

The next morning I get ready for school, putting on the cutest outfit just in case I find my mate today at school. I kiss mom on the cheek and out the door I go. I pull up at Alex’s house, she jumps in the car and says, “Even though I already told you, Happy Birthday again!” She squeals. “How’s it feel to be 18?! And to have your wolf?!” “Honestly its great.” I tell her. “It’s so nice to have her here finally, I can’t wait for you to get yours!” I tell her. Alex turns 18 in about a month so she’s getting super excited as well. “How’s the mate thing going so far? Find a hottie since we’ve last talked?” She says while winking at me. “No, don’t worry, nothing changed since this morning when we talked.” I say to here while laughing. “Well maybe today will be the day who knows!” She says to me as she wiggles her eyebrows. I laugh and off to school we go. The day goes on and nothing seems different. No pull towards anyone, nothing. A lot of the guys seem to be out though for some kind of special training this time of the year, so maybe he’s just not here right now. Right? After school me and Alex just head home. “No luck today?” She asks me. “No, but that’s okay. No worries. I can’t expect to meet him so soon. It’s only the second day of being 18.” I’m trying to be patient but deep down I feel like I’m going to explode. I drop her off at her house and make my way home.

It’s finally the weekend, my birthday party. I’m so excited! I go over to Alex’s house to get ready since that’s where the party will be. Her parents are out of town right now for a work trip so it works out perfect. “HEY b***h!” I yell out to her. “I’m here!!” As I close the door behind me. She runs out of her room and yells over the railing. “Come on up, music and drinks start now!” I can already tell it’s going to be a fun night. We begin getting ready, putting on my best makeup and my birthday outfit I got the other day while out with mom. It all comes together so perfectly, I love it. After awhile our friends start showing up, we put on the music and start playing beer pong. I’m looking all over trying to see if I feel any connection with anyone here, but so far nothing. I’m pretty sure I’m looking for a guy, but who knows? Could be a girl too. I guess we’ll find out. We dance the night away having some drinks and being crazy teenagers. The night fades on and we’ll all ready to crash, so I pick a spot right next to Alex on her bed and drift off to sleep, hoping not to get the spins.The next morning my head is pounding but we had so much fun. I’m so happy Alex threw me such a great party for my birthday, she really is the best bestfriend.
