The Enchanted Chronicles

Chapter 4

Lavender was on the ladder arranging new books that freshly arrived, It's been a week since she started working there on the pack library. Avery, the former worker got pregnant and her mate was worried about her health so much that she has to quit the job, well males can be extremely protective over their mate and the unborn during pregnancy, it's really common in their world. The males will go all possessive over their mate until the delivery of the child.

Since the post was vacant Lavender got the job. It's not like she needs the money, It's just that she was bored at home, all day having nothing to do, ever since the last incident Tylor refused to let her go to the mountains and this job seems like a perfect distraction.

Lavender always admired the Pack library, It's so big, and It contains almost all kinds of books, from nursery rhymes to the eroticas! As several pack members daily stop by to pick up something, the library is always crowded.

Every once in a while someone stops by to say hello to her. Maybe it's about time she left her awkwardness behind and tried to be a social bee.

The best thing Lavender particularly found fascinating about that place is that it had a basement! Mr.Jamison Margeret's father, the head Librarian is the only one who has permission to go there other than Alpha and Luna.

Lavender once heard Margaret mentioning that there are several archives of magical books stored in the basement, and all are about the supernaturals like werewolves, witches, vampires, fairies etc, and she used to doubt whether there was anything regarding the hybrids and what happened to them.

It was about lunch time that Lavender had got a break from the forever work, since the library is located next to the pack house she can see the new batch of juveniles training over the arena from where she stands, they are supposed to join the pack warriors when the next Alpha, Beta and Gamma take over, which was on the next full moon.

All three of the new leaders are present at the arena, Gabriel their next gamma was training the males, But as usual her dearest brother was extremely busy flirting with the female warriors that he was supposed to train.

Alpha Aiden was there as well, and he glared at Lavender when he spotted she was looking at them.

She looks away as her energy is too drained to make a glare in return, even if she doesn't like that guy it doesn't stung less. She has always been a sensitive person, being hated by their future alpha made her feel insecure.

And Aiden had hated her from their childhood. It will be okay for Lavender, if he was a bad person, but that's the thing, he is not! He is by far the nicest wolf in their pack, So strong and smart, always been so kind, and helpful towards the fellow pack mates, known Each one of them by their names. The pack member respects and believes him so much. There is no doubt that he will be a good leader.

Almost every unmated shewolf in their pack had a crush on him, hoping to be his luna, well too bad he only wants his true mate.

He is twenty four, apparently Alphas found their mate within five years after their first shift, and Aiden is waiting for almost six years.

Well he can choose a mate from unmated shewolves though, a chosen mate is not an unfamiliar idea in their world, few of their pack members decided to be with a chosen mate rather than wait for their true mate.
But a true mate is considered to be very special, a gift from the moon goddess, the other part of their soul which completes them. A chosen bond can never be the same as that.

Lavender always wondered whether she had a mate or not. Well goddess never blessed her with a wolf, at least she can give her a mate right?

Amanda was the only one among the three of them who found her mate, Margeret never wants a true mate, she believes in true love that happens naturally without the force of a bond.

Lavender still remembers the lecture she received from her parents before the day of her eighteenth birthday,

Your mate will smell like the best thing you have ever smelled, you can confirm the mate bond with a simple eye contact, your wolf will give you the confirming signals, and both of you can feel the sparks when you guys make any physical contact. It's the best feeling in the whole world, Just embrace it and live the moment Lave..

Sadly for them, nothing ever happened on the next day or the following birthdays as well. And she will be reaching twenty one in two weeks. Her parents never lost their hope in her, they told her to be strong and wait for the right time. It's like they know something about her that she didn't know.
But this time she can feel it too, something tells her that it will be different this time. And hopefully for the best.

Lave...... come down here..
Tylor was calling her downwards, well it looks like someone has finally spotted their little sister!
