His Betrayal

Chapter(1)

It's morning, I take note, as I feel the sun's rays hit my side and see a soft glow behind my lids.
Inbedded in my soft and silky sheets that are so warm, and my feathery fluffy pillows, I have no desire to get up and leave.

Alas, I have no choice but to obey to the whims of my elders. No matter how ridiculous I feel about the matter it is necessary. A slow bubble of resentment lingers towards my parents for making me leave home to find my mate. As much as I love the idea of meeting the one person tailored for me, part of me is scared and not ready. I want to relax awhile longer, not take on the Luna or Gamma roles that will undoubtedly become assigned to me. As the daughter of my packs Alpha I should have shifted long ago, but since I have not, it is assumed I'm either the mate of an Alpha or Beta and must therefore be marked and mated to perform my first shift.

It isn't exactly out of the norm for higher ranking wolves to seek out their mates, and so my parents are pushing me to begin that process by visiting our closest neighboring pack

My thoughts are interrupted by a shrill loud beeping, and I know its time to get moving.  I reach around blindly, and when my hand lands on the annoying device I pull with extra force and throw it somewhere across the room. I smile satisfied when I hear a bang then crunch. It only lasts about five seconds.

"ANNABELLE TIME TO GET UP!"

I groan. Maybe if I pretend to be dead I'd get to stay longer. Suddenly the bed dips and before I can defend myself the covers are lifted off of me. Then I see the face of the devil himself. My annoying older brother Cameron goes for the kill. Immediately I'm screaming for help as the bottoms of my feet and behind my knees are tickled without hesitation. He laughs while I squirm and yell for him to knock it off.

"Say the magic word!"

"NEVER!!!" I say.

"Okay you asked for it." He keeps tickling me until I'm crying out my eyes and I give in to his antics.

"Uncle! Uncle! UNCLE!" He snickers while I hit him upside the head with my pillow.

"Jerk" I mumble.

"Come on Anna bannana wakey wakey!" He taunts some more on his way out.

My mom walks in not long after with a smile on her face and, bless her soul, a cup of coffee. I smile gratefully and then frown remembering that I have to leave my family.

And most importantly my comfy bed.

"Mom? Can't I please stay awhile longer?"

"Honey, you know you can't your birthday will be in about five more months and you need to find you mate before you turn eight-teen or you won't be able to shift, ever."

I frowned. She just had to play the 'shifting' card. She knew how badly i've wanted to shift since Cameron did a long time ago. I just wished that I could've shifted at my age of maturity like most do. But, if our theory is correct, I'm mated to someone of higher rank i.e an Alpha or Beta.  I was getting shipped off because my grandparents told my mom and dad that the soon-to-be Alpha of their pack hasn't found his mate. So naturally everyone is hoping he is mine. What are the chances?

I'm snapped out of my reverie when I notice my mom has been trying to get my attention.

"Annabelle? Are you listening? You need to get dressed your flight leaves at noon."

"Ok sorry! I'm going."

Well at least I tried. When my mom left the room I smiled and took the opportunity. I plopped down on my bed again. Enjoying the warmth of my blankets.

"Up NOW!"

"Dangit! Does she have eyes in the back of her head?" I grumble underneath my breath.
