Chapter 1
Scarlett’s POV
My alarm started to ring at some ungodly hour in the morning, the sun pouring through my curtains as I was forced to get up and make breakfast as my stomach started to rumble. Everyone in my house was still asleep as it was only 6am, I decided to let my wolf out and go for a run before I ate. I ran the whole perimeter twice which took me just over an hour, i am pretty fast for a she-wolf, think it might be my Beta blood. When I got back to the house my brother, Finn, was just getting up so I turned on the cooker and started to make breakfast.
“Hey sis, make some for Logan too he is on his way over”
My brother came down the stairs at 7:15 ready for his breakfast. I started to plate up the crispy bacon and pancakes putting a jug of maple syrup on the table. Logan walked through the door greeting my brother by doing that weird bro hug thing that they always do.
“Hey Red, make me breakfast?” he asked as he started to plate up some of the food I’d cooked.
“Sure, help yourself, oh wait you already are” I replied in my usual sarcastic tone that I normally use when I talk to him. See I kinda have a weird relationship with Logan, our families are close because my dad is his dad’s Beta and my brother is going to be his Beta but he always used to bug me when we were younger. I mean not so much anymore, but he still teases me every now and again and it gets right on my nerves. He is 6′4 and incredibly well toned and in shape, well of course he is, he’s the Alpha’a son, I used to have the biggest crush on him from the ages of about 12 until i was 16. He is 4 years older than me, the same age as my brother, they are literally days apart and they both turn 25 next week. this means they become the official Alpha and Beta of the pack. My brother and Logan are both still single, neither one of them has found their mate but Finn is always telling me that he can wait as he has girl after girl on him all of the time. Me, I am different, I cannot wait to turn 21 and find my mate, all the stories my mum tells me about the connection between her and my dad and how much they love each other just makes me want to have that myself.
My brother, Logan and I finished our breakfast as my parents started to get up and come down for breakfast.
“you want me to make you something to eat? I have 20 minutes before I have to get to work” I asked my parents, I worked in the pack day-care with all of the babies and young children that have warrior parents or parents that have jobs in the town.
“no thanks baby” my mum said “I’ll whip something up for me and your dad, you get to work, your brother said he’d take you while your car is in the garage”
“what’s up with your car Red? I could’ve taken a look at it.” Logan said.
“I don’t know, I don’t do cars, but it didn’t sound right so I took it in, where’s Finn gone? I need to get to work.”
“He just left he is on border patrol this morning, I’ll take you if you want, my car is right outside”
“Alright, I’ll just get changed, thanks”
“No problem Red” he winked at me as I disappeared upstairs to go and change.
I work in the day-care from 8:30 until 5pm 5 days a week, and I absolutely love it. There is nothing like looking after the babies and toddlers of the pack, they’re our future at the end of the day.
I got myself ready for work, we didn’t have a uniform, barely anywhere in the town had uniforms as it was a werewolf community and we don’t see the point in uniforms when they aren’t necessary. The mechanics wear coveralls and stuff like that but that’s it really. I walked downstairs in my blue skinny jeans, a black vest top and an open flannel shirt, with my heeled tan timberlands.
“Let’s go” I said and Logan looked up from his phone looking me up and down and grabbing is keys from his pocket.
“You always go to work dressed like that?” he asked as we got in his car
“yes, I wear whatever I want, nobody has uniforms you know that” I laughed as the radio started to play as we drove off.
“I used to wear coveralls as a teenager when I helped at my uncle’s garage.”
“oh, yeah I completely forgot you used to work there, that’s the garage my car’s at, but you know you only wore coveralls, so you didn’t get covered in oil and grease.”
“Fair enough, if you want, I can pick your car up and bring it back to yours and have it fixed by the time you’ve finished work”
“Okay” I said, “I’ll run home from work and be back by like 5:45, 6:00 at the latest.”
We pulled up outside the day-care and I got out thanking him for the ride and the offer to fix my car for me. I completely forgot that he used to work at the garage, but then again, I would’ve never asked him to fix it had he not offered, I never thought he would offer. He usually isn’t this nice to me, wonder what has gotten into him.
I walked up and unlocked the doors, the owner trusts me to open up and lock up at the end of the day, nobody was here yet so I set up each room ready for the day, we have different rooms for the ages of the children.
I had such a busy day at work but loved looking after my little angel, Brooke, she was perfect, just 5 months old but my secret favorite to look after. I locked up and changed into my running shoes and started to run home.
I got to my house and was stunned by the sight outside my house, Logan stood in coveralls tied around his waist his 8 pack and V line out for all to see. He was covered in grease and fixing my car and all over again I had the biggest crush on him, my panties were wet just looking at the sight.
“Hey Red” he said as he continued to fix my car “I am nearly done with this it was a simple job really, not a problem”
“Th – th - thanks, Logan” I said practically drooling at the sight of him. Scarlett, I thought to myself, you need to stop thinking about him, you’re waiting for your mate, you want the tingles and the feeling of being with your destined soulmate.
“Honestly Red it was my pleasure; your future Alpha has to provide”
“Oh yeah you and Finn become Alpha and Beta next week, right?”
“yeah, its my birthday on Monday and you obviously know its his on Thursday, we are having the ceremony on Friday.”
“Cool, well thanks again for my car, I’ll see you later?”
“yeah, see you Red” he walked towards his own car winking at me.

So this is my first story, don’t judge I am writing what I would like to read. I am aiming to update once a week comment on it if you enjoy my story or if you have any questions for me.
I’ll attach pictures of what I think Finn, Scarlett and Logan look like here, obviously you can picture them differently if you'd like a different look.
Thanks, Lucy.
