Chapter 1 : Beginning
Vanessa’s POV
I woke up with a start; my wolf and stomach were competing for the same spot in a circus. I was turning 18 today I’d finally meet my mate, if he was in my pack. I desperately wished he was, I couldn’t bear to leave my pack though even if he turned out to not be in my pack I’d follow him anywhere because he was my mate. I berated myself I sounded like a lovesick pup.
I quickly got up to get ready, I was going to meet Summer at our usual spot before heading to school. I stared at my reflection in the mirror and smiled inwardly this was the face of the best warrior Sky pack would have. My long hours of training were paying off, my arm and leg muscles we’re toned, my abs defined and my skin giving off a beautiful caramel glow. My wolf whistled and I smiled to myself “Vanessa you are one hot gal”. Our mate would be so lucky to have us. I shook my periwinkle shoulder length curls that contrasted beautifully with my stormy grey eyes. I shook myself and proceeded to have a shower.
After my shower I put on light make up with my signature smoky eyes. I texted Summer
“Be there in five”
“KK. Be quick I’ve got a birthday surprise!😊” She texted back.
I grinned, stuffed my phone in my pocket and rushed out.
Later
School was normal, people wished me happy birthday, even Brody the Alpha’s son. I was kinda disappointed he didn’t end up being my mate but I guess it’s good cos my luna duties would interfere with my warrior duties. Summer’s gift was a gift card to a spa, another friendship lamp and a picture of both of us when we were younger.
Not meeting my mate in school today meant he probably wasn’t in my pack. I guess I’ll have to wait for the mating ball.
~Four Years Later~
I clocked 22 a few months ago, still mateless. Most people I know have met their mates. Amber, the quiet nerd happened to be Brody’s mate, no one can deny how much they fit each other, she’s pregnant the second time around and will probably be going into labor any time soon she looks ready to pop, we’ve actually become good friends and she’s a good Luna. Summer’s mate happened to be a doctor from another pack, it was miles away and we couldn’t see as much. Although I’m happy since I have attained top warrior of the pack. I’m lonely and my parents are getting old. My heart wrenches everytime I see pups and their mothers or catch an intimate look between mates. When would someone look at me like that. Mum keeps telling me I’m still young but reality sets in I’ve attended the mating ball three times and everytime I come home mateless. I’ve more or less thrown myself in my work. I’ve earned my position and my battle scars.
But all that can’t shake the fact that I’m alone and I might face some more years alone. If I didn’t have a mate maybe I’d meet someone like me. Maybe
