Chapter 1
BEEP!!
BEEP!!
Arg, will that thing just shut up already? Kara groaned as she lazily reached her hand out, trying to silence her alarm. As if something had just brought her to life, she bolted out of bed. The realization dawned on her as she whispered excitedly.
"It's my birthday!" she exclaimed, "I'm gonna finally find my mate. Oh, how I can't wait, at last someone to love and care for me."
Since her parents passed years ago, she had been living in the packhouse since she was 12 and no one had cared for her or showed her any love whatsoever. She had been waiting her entire life for the moment when she would be united with her mate.
"I need to find the perfect outfit to make a good impression when my mate finds me." She took high-waist navy blue jeans from her closet and paired them with a peach-colored crop top along with a multi-colored converse. She examined herself in the mirror and was pleased with her outfit.
"If only I had a perfect face and body to make me look outstanding" she frowned as she placed her thick glasses over her pimpled cover face. "I hope my mate won't reject me, I know I'm not perfect in every way, but still I just hope....." she trailed off as she pulled her hair back in the neatest bun she could make. She grabbed her bag, threw it over her shoulder, and left her room. As she stepped out the front door of the packhouse she gazed ahead, sighing at the distance she had to walk to school.
"These are the times I really wish I had a car," she stated as she started off walking in the direction of the school.
Twenty-five minutes later, she stood in front of the huge building they called school. The bell started training to signal the start of the first period. "Well, Blood Thrust Pack, I'm ready to find my mate."

Lunch
Still having no hope of finding her mate, Kara set off towards the cafeteria, students bustling around chatting and laughing like they have no care in the world. The Blood Thrust Pack, as the name states, is one of the largest and strongest packs ever to exist. They are known to be ruthless and deadly. Anyone who dares to cross them meets ends with death itself. Kara wished she could leave this pack not only because of their reputation, but because of how they treated her. But being an omega, she has no choice but to stay there until she finds her mate. Maybe when she finds her mate they can leave and be free of this pack once and for all.
Kara entered the cafeteria and she was suddenly hit with the most succulent thing she had ever smelled. It literally took her breath away and her heart stopped for a few seconds. She started walking towards the scent, letting the sweetness pull her towards the source.
"Wow, I think I'm about to find my mate!! Ahh so exciting", Kara thought to herself.
"Woof, why won't these idiots get out of the way? Can't they see we're about to meet our mate. If any of them dare to bump into I won't hesitate to rip their heads off." Ameillia, Kara's wolf shouted.
"Woah there, calm down, we're almost there", Kara said, quieting her wolf. The scent had only increased and she could feel her heart beating out of her chest. She had finally reached the source of the scent and her smile dropped.
"No!!" She exclaimed, she couldn't stop herself as her lips poured out the word "Mate".
James, the pack's playboy and no other than the future Alpha of the pack. As the words left Kara's lips, James turned and stared at her, his face filled with mixed emotions, but the one that stood out the most was the look of not love but disgust. He grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her away from prying eyes and into an empty classroom.
James pushed her towards the wall. He can not have her as his mate. No, he would rather have any other girl but her. Her big brown eyes pierced him with a questioning look. Those eyes made him want to do so many things, but he had to stop, it didn't matter what he wanted but what the pack needed. She can not become luna, an omega who can not take care of a pack, and the members will only ridicule her because she is weak.
"Don't you dare speak that ill of our mate!!" Brandon, his wolf growled.
"No, I have to do what's right for the pack, she can't take care of them, you need to stop thinking about yourself, there are many she-wolves out there," James told his wolf.
"Yeah, but none like her, she is our mate. Please don't do this." His wolf pleaded. But James had already made up his mind.
"Kara, I, James Laurance, future alpha of Blood Thrust Pack rej--" Kara ran out of the room before James could finish his rejection.
