Chapter 1
Rowan was born into the Night Howl pack, as the eldest pup from Beta Jared and his mate, Lady Vyra. With her parents always being with the Alpha and Luna, working on keeping the pack at peace and out of any wars, she grew up along side their triplet sons; Arrow, Red, and Caylix.
They went to school together from the time she was in kindergarten up until their graduation, three years prior to hers. Just like any other wolf and she-wolf in the pack, you had a mate, unable to be found until you both had become of age.
The triplets were different however, because they had all been from one egg that had divided into three separate embryos. This means they all would share a mate rather than have separate ones for each brother. By the time Rowan had graduated, they were close to 21, the coming of age for any to-be Alphas, and had yet to find their mate still.
Rowan pov:
"GUYS! STOP! THAT TICKLES!" I said in between laughs, trying to get Arrow and Caylix to stop tickling me so I could breathe.
"Okay, okay. Other news, what're you gonna do for your big day tomorrow, Row?" Red asked once the other two sat back into the sofa in their game room.
"Uhm, honestly nothing. I'm gonna go through my first shift if you wanna watch, but you guys literally have other stuff to do like plan for your commencement party, remember?"
They sat there for a moment, thinking about it. Caylix was the one to speak first. "Oh, right. Well how about you just come see us later on after you shift then? You know where to find us usually."
"Sounds good, guys. I'll see you later!" I say as I get up to go to work.
Yeah I know, why work when I have all the money I could ever as for? I like the thought of being independent and not needing to rely on others while I sit home all day. Besides, it gives me a chance to learn people's names, especially the new pups that are welcomed into the pack.
******Time skip, close to midnight*******
Well, here it goes. 2 minutes. I thought to myself aside stripped away my clothing, not wanting to rip it when the shift happened. What was nice was only the first shift ever hurt, so I didn't have to worry about any other pain whenever my wolf needed to get a run in, after this.
When it hit midnight, I crouched onto all fours, howling in pain as my bones broke and realigned themselves to resemble a wolf. My eyesight enhanced, as well as my hearing and smell. My nose elongated, forming a muzzle full of meat tearing teeth, as silvery white fur protruded from my skin. I did it. I shifted into my wolf. With being the daughter of a beta, I was slightly larger than any other female wolves, except the Luna and my mother.
I could have sworn I was only out for an hour, when I saw the break of dawn. I had forgotten where I had put my clothes, which was unfortunate but I was glad they were just some old ones I hardly wore anymore. They wouldn't be missed.
I ran back to the pack house, wiping all four paws on the mat just inside the door, as somebody had left it open by mistake. I ran up to the second floor, where all the royal rooms were. As I passed the first door, that led to Arrow's room, I caught a scent that was so intoxicating to me, that I had nudged my snout through the crack between the door and frame.
As I did that, I slowly started to realize, that if the other boy's rooms smelled this good, then I had found my mate... rather mates. I backed out, trying not to make a sound as I went to check the other rooms. I passed by Red's room, smelling the same intoxicating scent I had previously caught in Arrow's room. Then the final room, Caylix's, was the same. So I had found my mates. My best friends were my mates and I never knew until now.
