Lauren's POV:
"Hey, DJ." I greet my best warrior and friend.
"Alpha, Luna." DJ bows her head in respect to Ally and I.
I roll my eyes at her.
"I'm not the alpha yet, Dinah."
"But you will be soon, Lauser."
"So where is the birthday girl?" Ally asks, shifting the focus off me because she knows I'm a bit nervous about taking over as alpha of our pack.
The birthday girl Ally is talking about is Dinah's sister, Daphne. She was found on the side of the road as a baby by one of our pack members. They brought her here and she was adopted by the Hansens not long after. Daphne smells like a wolf but nobody has ever seen her wolf. Today is her eighteenth birthday so maybe she'll finally shift and we can see her wolf.
"Lo, do you smell that?" Questions Ally, sniffing the air.
I sniff the air. "Lavender with a hint of mangoes." I say, the scent filling my nose.
Ally and I look at each other, knowing exactly why we're smelling the scent. But it can't be possible, can it?
"The scent is strong but where is it coming from?"
Before anybody can answer me, a pack member runs up to us, panting.
"Daphne is up a tree. Brad and some of his friends are trying to get to her but Mani is holding them back as best as she can. You have to hurry and help her!"
Camila takes off running into the woods with Dinah, Ally, and I right behind her.
If Daphne and Mani were deep in the woods, Camila would've already shifted to get to us then back to them quicker.
Finally reaching the tree, we find Mani stood between it and three boys.
"What do you think you're doing, Brad?" I ask, causing him and his friends to turn around and look at me.
Dinah goes and stands by Normani, her mate and my beta.
"We were just trying to have some fun with the birthday girl." He smirks and his friends chuckle.
I growl, causing his smirk to disappear and his friends to become silent. Movement from behind Dinah catches my attention and I watch Lucy step into view.
"Relax Lauren, it's not like they hurt her or anything."
Dinah glares at her.
"You have something to do with this?"
"Of course not." She replies, stopping to stand by Brad. "I was just taking a walk."
I don't believe her one bit.
"Stay away from Daphne. Now get out of here." I growl my alpha growl, causing them to sprint away.
Camila, Ally, and I step closer to the tree as Dinah calls up to her sister.
"They're gone, you can come down."
We all watch Daphne climb down the tree. Her eyes lock on to Ally and I as soon as her feet hit the ground.
"Mate." Ally and I say in unison, no doubt shocking the others.
We hold out our arms to her and she hesitates for a fraction of a second before accepting our embrace.
Nobody's POV:
Little did they know, someone had seen the whole interaction.
All mistakes are mine. Vote, comment, and tell a friend! I know this one was kind of short but so am I🤣🤣. Anyway, I could be mean and say I'm not giving you the next update until this one gets six votes but I'm not gonna do that to y'all. Or am I?🤔🤔 Fun fact, the pic I used for the cover of this book is my lock screen. Until next time. Much love!!!!
