Fated Together

Chapter One

*CIEL POV*

"Ciel! Wake up or you will be late!" My father yells.

My eyes snap open at the sound of my fathers voice. Leave it to the big bad Alpha to get my hopeless ass out of bed. I grab my phone off my nightstand and see that I have missed calls and text messages from my friends. I dont know why they are messaging me this early in the morning. We have a pact where no one calls or messages me until 10 am or until I have had 3 cups of coffee.

Looking at the time and seeing that it is 6:30 am, I jump out of bed. Running to my bathroom that is attached to my bedroom, I think of my outfit for today. I shower, brush my teeth, and get ready for one of the days of the most daunting and exhilarating time of the year. The last 2 months of school....................I can't wait for it to all end.

Looking at my vanity, I pick up my makeup and decide to go with a more natural look. I know it will make my emerald green eyes pop even more then they already do. The bottom of my natural hourglass figure is wrapped in skin tight dark skinny jeans and knee length heeled boots. The top part of me is covered in a burgundy tank top with a white wooly sweater that goes down to the middle of my thighs.

I look over my outfit one more time just to make sure its perfect. I look back in the mirror and see that my long curly-wavy purple dyed hair is reaching the middle of my chest. Why is it dyed you ask? Well for starters my natural hair color is nothing like my parents colors. My mother has beautiful honey brown hair. While my father has muddy brown hair. My hair? My hair is strawberry red. At least my pale complexion brings my natural look together.

"Well I am as ready as I'll ever be I guess." I say to no one in-particular.

I grab my backpack, put it on my shoulder, and go downstairs. Walking into the kitchen, I see my father reading the newspaper and drinking his daily cup of coffee. I head to the fridge to take a look and see what I can scavenge for breakfast.

"Ciel, there is breakfast in the microwave in a tupperware container. Just make sure you bring everything home."

I look over at my father and see him trying to hold a laugh from breaking out. This man knows me way to well. I always forget to bring home my dishes and today was going to be no different. I am going to forget. I grab the container out of the microwave and stuff it into my backpack. walking around the island in the middle of the pack house kitchen, I step next to my father.

"I'll try to remember to bring home the container. Love you dad. I will see you after school." I lean down to give him a hug and soon all of my anxiety and nervousness dissapears.

"Don't forget that you are turning eighteen this weekend and that we are having a party with some of the neighboring packs Alphas coming. Your mother and I would like to see something great come out of this and hope it will bring a great alliance. Your older brothers are also coming to the party to show their support." He says to me with love and warmth in his eyes.

"I could never forget dad." I kiss his cheek and make my way to the garage.

Getting into my baby, I set my backpack on the passenger seat. I put the key in the ignition and my baby purrs to life. I wasn't gonna lie and say that I wish I could drive my car anywhere, but I dont have many friends. I never did and I never will. It's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't trust anyone. I have never trusted anyone but my pack and my family. It is not like I don't try. It's more of my anxiety. I am extremely shy and nervous around people. My father says that I'll get over it as soon as I find a mate.

I dont want just any mate. I want my Fated Mate. Fated Mates are very rare for our species. Most of the time mates are wolves that find someone to love. Fated Mates are bonded for life. Only death can sever a Fated Mate bond.

The thought of having a Fated Mate, makes my face turn three shades of red. My mother always tells me that Fated Mates always love eachother unconditionally and will protect eachother no matter what. Fated Mates are chosen by the moon goddess and are our other halfs. They make us whole. It's said that when you find your Fated Mate, you will instantly feel the pull.

In order to find your Fated Mate you first need to be eighteen.That is when any wolf will awaken and they will help get to him or her. Good thing I only have to wait a few more days. I can finally find my other half. That is, if he or she is out there. I am keeping my hopes up, but there may be a chance I will have to just find a compatible mate. I know there are plenty of eligible mates and thats why I try to keep to myself and not have many friends.

The best part about not having very many friends, is that I am not pressured to do anything. I can take my own time to do things and the way I want to do them. No one telling me that I am not out good enough. That I am not funny enough. I only need my family and my pack. Now I will have my mate. I will be able to feel complete.

Pulling into my usual spot, away from everyone else, I turn off my car. The only reason I park so far away is because I don’t like showing off. My father is top dog in the business world and Alpha to one of the strongest packs. Needless to say, I can get anything I want, but I choose not to. I fully believe on working for what you want. I saved up all my money I was getting for allowance or food and bought myself a really, really nice car. An Audi R8 to be exact.

My car would have people flocking to my feet every day. That is something I can and will do without. I never want to be popular. I just want to go about my day and get home. Drama free and worry free. No wondering if I am stepping on any toes or if anyone really likes me or if they are just trying to use me to get to the jocks and preppy girls.

Walking to the school from my space, I can’t help but feel like someone or something is watching me. Maybe it’s nothing. My anxiety is getting the better of me. I can ignore it. I have ignored all other stares and comments. Mostly stares of lust and desire.

Shaking my head, I continue my way to my locker. I need to make sure I have everything I need for class. Looking down the hall, I can’t help but sense something different. Like something good might happen. The only good thing I can think of is my birthday this weekend.

I still can't shake this feeling. Could it be that my senior year is almost done? And I never have to come back to this dreaded human school ever again? Is it that I will find my mate soon? Or could it be that my best friend is bouncing from foot to foot with the biggest grin on her face like she has the biggest scoop there is?

Walking up, I can’t help but laugh at her. She seems so excited. Her tight curly blonde hair bouncing side to side. Her bright golden honey eyes filled to the brim with excitement. I can’t help but notice that her hands are fidgeting with themselves. She knows I keep telling her that her hands are distracting when trying to be serious with her. That just makes her even more cute. I will just tease her. I know she wants to tell me something juicy, but I can’t let her tell me right off the bat. Where would the fun be.

“OH MY GOD CIEL MY DARLING LOVE!! Did you hear? We are getting new kids today!” She says, practically yelling in my ear. “I wonder who they are. What if they are guys? Where did they move from? Are they cute? Do you want to meet-“

I cut her off, “Kelsey, I love you to death, but you know how I feel about people. Now to answer your questions, I don’t know if they are guys, I don’t know where they are from, I don’t know if they are cute, and no I would very much not like to meet them.”

Her head falls backwards as she laughs loudly. “Ciel, my furry love. You never cease to amaze me with your bluntness.”

"Would you have me any other way?" I tease, winking at her.

"You know, one of these days your going to find someone who will sweep you off your feet. I dont know what kind of wolfie voodoo you guys have but you can't keep having blinders up for the opposite gender."

"Kelsey, I have told you that I am waiting for-"

"Your Fated Mated. I know but you can still have fun."

I look at her and sigh. Out of everyone I know at this school, Kelsey is the only one that knows I am a wolf and the daughter of an Alpha. Yes she is human, but she has been by my side since freshman year. She is the only one I trust out side of my pack.

I look at her with warmth and love in my eyes. She's been the sister I never had and I would hate to see something bad happen to her. That's why I have told her about me. She's already met father and the whole pack absolutely loves her to death. She is our "unofficial" human packmate. But that doesn't mean we won't protect her with our lives.

"Come on Wolfie. Let's get you to class." Kelsey says as she links her arm with mine.

"You know I love you, right Kells?"

"I know you big fur ball." She says smiling.

*UNKNOWN POV*

I have a feeling that today is going to be very interesting. Something good is going to happen and I am excited. I cant contain my excitement. As I am walking into the pack house kitchen, the smell of bacon, eggs, sausage, pancakes, french toast, and waffles overload my senses. My mouth is watering and I swear I feel drool go down my face. As I sit down, I quickly wipe my face just to be sure that there was no drool. As the future alpha, I can’t have drool all over my face.

“Dude, you ready to start at a new school? I still can’t believe ours was burnt down.”

“Xander, I told you man, I am just going there to finish up this year so I can focus on finding my mate.” I say looking at him with a look that he knows as ‘no more about it’.

“Sorry man. I know you turned eighteen a few months ago and I know how rough it is man. I will back off for now, but know as your best friend and future beta, I have to be your wing man.” Xander says as he laughs.

“I know Xander,” I say laughing. “You wouldn’t have it any other way.”

“Boys, you five need to be heading out for school soon.” My mother says as she walks in to the kitchen.

“On our way now, Luna. Don’t worry, I will keep my eyes on this one,” Xander says as he puts me in to a head lock while walking to the garage.

“I am taking my car. You guys do what you want. I want to find a decent spot before all of them are taken. Especially since this is an all human school and we don't know if they have some werewolves. I don’t want them any where near us.” I am not risking them trying to bombard me with questions.

Xander nods and tells the others to get in his car. He knows how I am. I like to drive alone. It relaxes me and it will help me prepare for the foolishness that is about to happen.

As I am getting in, I put my bag on the passenger seat and get settled in. Turning on the car, I slowly make my way out with Xander and the others right behind me. It is going to be weird going to an all human school.

There is only one school that is outside any of the pack territories. This very school still could have werewolves, but it is more of one wolf for every twenty students. Not very many. The chances of finding my mate while being here. Very slim.

I find two parking spots right next to each other. One for my car and the other for Xander’s. As Xander pulls in to his spot, another car pulls up. I moan out as I see its not just any car, its a f*****g Audi R8. This can’t be a students car. There is no way. Not unless someones mom or dad bought it for them. Even still, why park it way back here? I would have that up front show it off.

I turn around to grab my bag out of the seat. As I stand straight again, I see Xander and the others watching something. I turn around and see the most beautiful and sexiest creature I have even laid eyes on. Her perfect hourglass figure and the skin tight jeans. Her bag hanging off one shoulder, allowing her perfect purple curls and waves to sway on her back as she walks toward the school buildings. I need to know who this vixen is. I need to see her eyes.

‘She could be mate.’ My wolf says excitedly.

‘What did you say Damon?’ I am surprised to even hear those words.

‘Mate. That could be mate.’ Damon says again but sounding more irritated.

‘That can’t be. She’s human. Or at least I think she is.’ I say to him, trying to calm him down.

‘Find her. I need to see her.’

Well, buddy I am on it. I will find her. Not only did she cause Damon to go nuts, she’s caught me in her trap as well. I need to know her. I need to see her face and make sure. I can’t really smell anything. She must be human. Then again, this is an all human school. If she is indeed a wolf, her scent will be masked with all of the humans.

As I am walking to the schools hallways, I see her again. This time she is laughing and teasing a girl with blonde tightly curled hair and golden honey eyes. I can hear her laugh and its like music to my ears. The way she is holding her books in her arms is a big turn on.

I still can't see her eyes. I need to see her eyes and face. I need to match the angelic laugh to the beautiful face.

The blonde is defiantly human. I can smell her human scent.

“Xander, find everything you can about the girl with purple hair. I need to know about her,” I say as I am still watching her.

“Yes alpha. I will get right on it.” He bows and starts to walk away.

I watch as she links her arm with the blonde and starts heading toward class. I am still mesmerized by her beauty. I hope I am in her classes. I want to get to know her. I want to see if this is my mate. What are the odds of me finding my mate here?

“Alright guys, I am going to head to class. I will meet up with you guys for lunch. Remember, stay out of trouble.”

As I am turning I hear, “yes alpha.” I look at my schedule and start walking towards my first class.
