Chapter 1
"Jessica please come into the dining room please"
my father voice yells out through the house as I step over the threshold of my parent's house, slamming the door with a roll of my eyes I follow his voice to the dining room. I know I must be in trouble my father never uses my first name, everyone calls me by my middle name "rose", walking in to find my mother and father sitting at the table, my father at the head of the table and my mother sitting to his side on the right.
"Yes, father dearest how may I help you" with a sarcastic smile on my face I plop down into the seat and lean over on the table so I'm resting my heart on my right hand "sit up properly rose, it's not ladylike to crouch" my mother snaps out while giving me and stern glare, I huff out and sarcastically sit up with a stiff posture.
"Is this a better mother?' I huff out then drop my stiff posture to a slouch 'anyways father why did you summon me oh wise one" dad growls out at my disrespect, my father being the alpha doesn't take well to disrespect, but somehow somewhat lenient with me being his daughter.
I'm the oldest daughter of alpha James and luna Lillian Collins of the green fern pack, in other words, the most boring pack. This pack is set in its old ways that women cannot train with the men we are to stay at home cooking, cleaning and bearing pups, in other words leaving us defenceless.
"Well does this jog your memory" he picks up the piece of paper laying on the table In front of him? Picking it up he slides it along the table towards me "why did you fill out a training form that is for the males and men of the pack for me to approve for training" I knew that snitch ass beta would take it to dad!
"Maybe because I think your rules and beliefs of the old ways are ridiculous, why is it that women can't train, we shouldn't have to rely on our mates we should be compatible for each other and equal not relying on her mate what if he isn't around at the time of an attack?" I feel my blood pumping while pushing the chair back and standing up from the table, looking between both my parents "this is ridiculous I'm sorry I'm not the perfect daughter like Ella is and jump when you ask her to or not so proper and ladylike" my voice rising a notch higher.
Ella is my younger sister. She's two years younger then me, she was lucky enough to find her mate the same year she shifted at 17, and he is a beta of the purity pack Mr Adam Scott then after she couldn't wait to be a housewife and bear his pups. Whereas I didn't find my mate when I shift then after that year went by so did the next 4 years being 5 years now since I first shift so I gave up looking, now all I want is for my father to see that women are just as capable and lethal in fights and combat.
My dads wolf coming forth and growl lowly at my display of disrespect to him. His eyes showing fleck of gold in his brown eyes showing his wolf is coming forth. Slamming his hand on the table he stands up
"I will not tolerate the disrespect Jessica, so watch how you talk to me" his eyes turning fully gold his wolf taking control of his human form, with mother quickly standing and resting her hand on dad's shoulder, he instantly snaps his head towards her and his wolf pulls back to the back of his mind and his features soften, both their eyes soften and glaze over indicating they are mind linking each other, everyone in the pack can mind link or if they are mates.
"Rosie we didn't invite you here for this, In particular, we just wanted to inform you that the alpha from the south is arriving tomorrow for a meet and we would love you to here" mother announces while rubbing dad shoulder in massaging manner, to help calm him.
"The meeting will be at noon, the. Followed by dinner at the pack dinner hall we want you there alpha Xavier hall will be bringing his beta and two warriors, please be on you're best —"
Before he could finish I cut in "yes father I know to be on my best behaviour father, you tell me that every time someone visits, I'm gonna the this as my leave and head out now" I stand and mock salute to my parents, my mother moves her dark brown hair out of her eyes my mother is a short slim woman with a sun-kissed tan complexion and brown eyes, with light freckles lightly scattered across her cheeks and nose.
Dad, on the other hand, is taller reaching 6"4 dark black hair with hazel eyes, a light beard and also a tanned complexion, I follow in my mother's footsteps of having brown eyes but have my father's dark black hair which I recently dyed a rosewood violet, I stand about 5"3 and curves with a defined ass and legs, I'm also filled out in the chest area being a 14F in bra size, I like to keep my body toned as much as I can constantly at the gym building muscle in my legs and buttocks whole also across my abdominal.
My sister Ella looks more like dad with mums light brown hair and dads hazel eyes, and she is very slim and always has been she was the fortunate one that didn't have to work so hard to keep her body in shape as I've had to.
"Oh before you go rose please wear a dress and look ladylike" my mother yells out before I can fully escape out the door, rolling my eyes I yell back "I'll see what I can do no promises" they close the door behind me with a loud thud. Pulling my keys out of my pocket I unlock my car by pressing the button, opening the car door to my CX-5 Mazda 2018 edition in black I place my keys in the ignition then proceed to buckle up and turn the keys to start the engine, putting the car in the drive I head down the driveway and towards the direction of my house.
It is a 30-minute drive to the other side of town, that's with going through the small local town of green fern, I decided that once I found out my grandparents left me the deeds to the house in their will that I would sign the papers and move out, my mother and father put up a hell of a fight, but after agreeing that I would regularly come over to join the pack in supper and any big events and special announcements I moved into my grandparent's house, with my sister and mother getting some valuables like photo albums and antiques I got the house my sister Ella wasn't too happy about that! I remover it like it was yesterday my sister exclaiming.
Flashback
"Why on earth does she get the house she's not even mated" Ella yells over Mr black reading over our grandparents will, all I could do was smile and thank grandma for this blessing.
End of flashback.
Grandmother knew how much I got so annoyed at mum and dad for always being on my back hounding me on how a woman should act and behave properly for her mate, after my first year of shifting and not finding my mate. As each year went past they just kept smothering me more and more, so I would always escape them and spend most of the time at my grandparent's house.
The packed house had heaps of spare rooms consisting of a large building of 5 levels, the top-level being my father's office the floor below being rooms for high ranking wolves in the pack or coming from visiting packs, the third level being for the mated wolves in the pack, while the second level is for the newly shifted or single pack members.
The main floor is where the dining room is (or should I say a big ass hall) then the kitchen, to the left of the packhouse is the big hall which we use for balls or big events within the pack, like this year we get the honours of hosting the blue moon ball where all packs are to attend to help pack members find their pack mates.
As you can see living on pack land would always still be too close to my parents and too overcrowded, my parents don't live in the packhouse they decided to live in our great grandparent's house, that has been standing on pack lands since the beginning. Other families live in little townhouses that consist of either 3-5 rooms all scattered amount the pack lands.
Arriving up to my house I park the car in the driveway, I jump out and lock the car while stomping up to the front steps of the house, unlocking the door and closing it behind me I proceed to take my jacket off and hang on the hat rack by the front door, sitting on the stool I proceeded to take my doc Martin boots off and placing my keys on the hallway table then head back to the front door to the left of the wall to type in the pin of the security system for inside the house and around the outside of the house surrounding the tree lines of my house.
Heading up the stairs I peel out of my clothes and put on a fresh pair of underwear and an oversized T-shirt. Pulling back the covers to my doona I climb into bed and roll over to reach for my phone on the bedside table tapping the screen I see I have a message from my self-defence trainer dale since my parents won't let me train with the men in the pack then I will train somewhere else.

After replying to dale my self-defence teacher I close my eyes and instantly slip into darkness.
