Walking through the woods slowly with the wind blowing making my long brown hair twirl around, breathing in the smells of nature and mossy rocks I smile thinking about the only thing I ever think about. My future mate and family, I long to be loved in a way I have never been loved before although my mother says to not rush the process and think about it too much because I have to think about my training and graduating school. Blah. I have a month left of school, I have a month before my eighteenth birthday, I have a month before I can start searching for my mate if he doesn't find me first. My parents agreed to let me throw a party werewolf rules are different from the mundane human life. Werewolves can drink at a younger age usually at 18 when you are able to find your mate you're able to drink and party because you're a "grown pup" as my mom likes to say my party is the night before I turn of age and the next day if I don't find my mate in the pack I will travel to all packs within my region. ”Ivory it's time to come back it is getting late.” my fathers' words are heard in my mind sighing I walk back to my family home.
Opening the front door I lightly close it behind me and walk towards the kitchen where soft music is playing in the background ” I love you so much” my father's words are barely above a whisper a human wouldn't be able to hear the words. Stepping into the doorway I see my father and mother slow dancing in the kitchen a huge smile plastered on my mom's face as my dad slowly rubs his hand over my mom's growing belly. She is due in 4 months and hopefully, I am able to be at her side like she has requested. They notice me when I lowly chuckle they turn as if they have been caught doing something wrong my mother's face turns red as she blushes and my dad goes to turn off the music ”honey you're home, dinner is almost done!” I smile nodding my head and sitting at the island we talk about our day and what all we did my dad being the beta of the back he has a lot of pack businesses to attend to especially considering pack policy, rogues, and warrior training which I am in. My mom sets a plate down in front of me which has lasagna and garlic bread ”thank you, my favorite!” she laughs while handing me a fork and than going to dish up my dads plate ”here honey I can do that, you take a seat you cooked.” my mother kisses him on the cheek thanking him with a blush to her cheeks. After eating dinner I head to my room, tomorrow is Wednesday I have school and after that training, I go to my bathroom and take a shower letting today's stress and sweat go down the drain. After getting dressed in my light pink pajamas I get in bed and play on my phone for half an hour before shutting it off and going to sleep.
Next day
Waking up I hear a loud beeping next to my right grogginess making it hard to open my pale blue eyes. Sighing I turn the loud alarm off reading the time that lets me know it is ten-thirty school starts at eleven-thirty and ends at two for high school students because of training. Every werewolf has to take training weather they want to be warriors or not, it is good to have the training in case of an attack on the pack or on one of us when alone. Getting up out of bed I brush my teeth and use the bathroom after I’m done I go to my closet and grab a black hoodie that says puma in pink, bending over I grab my light pink vans, and finally, go to my dresser and pick out undergarments and a pair of black skinny jeans with rips in the knee. Sitting at my vanity I curl my ends with my straightener and put a little bit of makeup on. Grabbing my school bag and duffle bag I head downstairs, ”Hey baby are you hungry?” my mom asks setting a bowl of fruit on the island in the kitchen. ”you know me so well mama” we laugh and I put fruit, bacon, and eggs on my plate.
Walking into the school building that is in the pack I go to my locker and put my bags away ”there you are I've been texting you all morning!” looking at one of my next friends I smile ” I forgot my phone in my bedroom I'm sorry Carly.” she forgives me in seconds and starts talking about her crush Jake who is the alpha son’s best friend. ” why don't you ask him out car.” she bellows out a laugh and slaps my shoulder ”yeah right I’m a omega you know that, that is not possible.” I give her a forgiving smile, in the laws of the goddess Selene she hasn't given an omega the privilege to have a higher rank by their mates. The story is that Selene once gave a Lycan an omega mate and that she could not protect herself and the Lycan lost his true love to war though if she would have been a higher rank or Lycan than she would have survived. ” I am sorry car, it's just I don't see you as an omega.” hugging me she tells me it is okay and we finally walk to our first class which is Lycan history walking in with all eyes on us we take a seat in the back where we normally sit and the class chit chats until Mr.Berey walks in ”good morning class, finishing with the wars in our history yesterday we will learn about the Lycans of our history, any questions?” a girl in the front shoots her hand up and I instantly roll my eyes it's Jenny she is the pack whore and god, so annoying. ”yes, well my father told me that it is believed there are many lycans still alive” everyone picks up chatter at that and again I roll my eyes and speak up ”no one ever said they were extinct Jenny..there just isn't a lot left because of the wars which are what we learned the last month so of course it is only fitting for Mr.Berey to end us off with this topic with itis the last month of school before we all graduate.” my teacher smiles at me while nodding his head in approval why Jenny scoffs at me and flips her hair. ”that is true Ivory, they are not wiped out coompletely there are maybe 100 left in the world today all over although some stay together for better protection. The alpha actually wanted me to teach this lesson this year it is the first time in a while it's been taught because he wanted me to announce that there will be a very strong alpha lycan who is coming to the pack I was not told what one but I do know that there are only five lycan alphas running a pack.” everyone starts to talk again and our teacher laughs at the excitement in the room and then begins his lesson.
School was finally over for the day as the bell started to ring. I practically ran to my locker to grab my bags so I could hurry up and get to training so I could speak with my dad, who I know will tell me what lycan will be coming to our pack and when. ”Hey ivory wait up!” I stop to look at who was yelling for me and I see that it is Brax the son of my current alpha ”whats up?” I ask with a smile he puts his had to the back of his head and ruffles his har with a blush of pink on his cheeks and a sly smile ”I was wondering if maybe you wanted to go into town one day with my friends and I, you could bring a friend and we can all hang ou let’s say Saturday?” thinking for a moment I agree to tag along and we decide to go this weekend. When I reach the training grounds I see my dad giving orders to a few men who look like they've been out here for hours, I'm so not ready to do that. ”Hey honey how was school?” my dad asks after kissing my forehead typical parent rubbing there scents on there pups so the older wolves don't look at us. ”It was super good! Hey, so I heard a lycan was coming to the pack?” he chuckles ”Somehow I knew that would be brought up today we are, Lycan Alpha Thomas will be joining us in a few weeks to uhm discuss some things.” I nod my heading taking the information in just as I was about to ask what the topic of the so called discussion was my dad spoke up first ”Don't even ask because I'm not to tell you.” letting out a defeating sigh I head to the locker room to change into a sports bra and work out pants, putting my hair up in a ponytail I head to where I train.
