Chapter 1
Hi im Valerie! Though most people just call me Val. Im apart of the Blue Lake pack and Im turing 18 in 3 days, though I am not excited for it. Most people are, due to the fact that you are eligible to find your mate, but not me. I guess its more of the fact that im scared of the rejection.
Max’s POV:
Im 23 years old and I still haven’t found my mate. I always tell people that I didn’t want a mate, but for the past few weeks my wolf has been pushing hard. Iv’e lashed out a couple times because of my wolf Xander. As I was saying eariler, I tell people that I never want a mate, but I secretly kinda do. 5 years without a mate and being an alpha is tough.
Valerie’s POV:
My parents and my older brother are making preparations for my birthday. 6 other packs are coming to the pack house for my big day. My mom is hoping that one of them could be my mate. All I hope is that it wont be anyone from the Blood Moon pack. That pack just gives me the chills! I decide to head downstairs and talk to my older brother Caleb. He always gives me good advice.
Val: “Hey Caleb.”
Caleb: “Whats up?”
Val: “Just scared for when I turn 18.”
Caleb: “What, why?”
Val: “Well what if I find my mate and he turns out to hate me!”
Caleb: “That wont happen Val he’s got to be crazy not to like you.”
Val: “Are you sure.”
Caleb: “Im sure.”
Max’s POV:
I just got invited to the Blue Moon Pack for some girls birthday, PSHHH! Like I care?! “What if shes our mate!” My wolf Xander asked. “Shes probably not.” I replied. My wolf started yelping and whimpering at the thought that we might not find a mate. “Shut it!” I scolded him. Just then my Beta, Lucas knocked on my door. “Come in.” I said. “Hello alpha, you are aware that the daughter of the Alpha Silas is tomorrow right?” He asked. “Yes Im aware.” I told him. “Alright well Ill leave you be.” He said as he walked out of my office. My wolf needed to go for a run so I walked outside and went into the forest. I went in for about half a mile after removing my clothes and placing them in a nearby tree. I shifted into my wolf form and started running. I dont know why but for some reason my wolf was more agitated than he usually is. “Are you okay?” I asked my wolf. No response. I asked again and he replied with a low growl. “What the hell is up with you man?” I ask him again hoping he’ll be more straightforward. “It’s nothing!” He growls at me. Once I shift back into my human form I put my clothes on and head back to my office. I get some paper work done, then head downstairs for dinner. Ms. Hena the head chef makes me a delicious dinner which is a beef shortrib with peppers and rice. “Thank you.” I say to her. “Of course alpha.” She bows her head and walks away. After dinner, I head to my room and shower. “Hey Xander you still pissed off? I teasingly ask my wolf. “No Im fine now.” He replies. I get dressed, brush my teeth, and climb into bed. I quickly fell asleep.
