A Twist of Fate

1 | Meeting her

Hey there!

Thanks for choosing my book to read! This is my first book, I hope you all like it.

Please excuse the grammatical errors. I'm trying really hard to write well. 

I would love to see your opinions on this book and your ideas on how to make the plot better.

Derrik's POV

My mom woke me up with a start. I fell off my bed with a thud out of fright! "Get up. Get up, NOW! You'll be late! On your first day, too!" I knew better than to argue with her, because I didn't want to mess this chance up, either. 

I dashed into the bathroom, looking in the mirror to find an average, pale, 18-yr old boy with shabby hair. I gushed about brushing my teeth, getting dressed and having breakfast. I packed my bag and set off to college. More specifically, Meadows University, the local university, where I had applied. I got the application, and I couldn't be more thrilled! I was finally heading there, the college of my dreams! With my pack, of course. 

Yes - you heard me - Pack. I'm a werewolf, you see. My brothers and sisters (cousin) all lived together. We went to the same school together ever since we were little, and grew up in the same house, too. I was next in line to be Beta for the pack. My cousin, Matthew was set to be Alpha after his father. The rest of the inner circle included Leah, my intolerable sister, and Seth and Sam, the inseparable twins. 

Our pack of five would normally go together, as I expected. 

Matthew pack-linked the four of us. 

Matthew: I think we should go in separately, and not give off a "gang" vibe on the first day. 

Me: As much as I hate to say it, I agree. 

Seth and Sam: Alright.

Leah: Only because you are alpha... 

Pack link broken

I set off to the huge building. Absorbed in my own thoughts about how big the the building was, and how everywhere you looked, there was something to admire. Looking at the path ahead, it was perfectly laid out, with bushes on the sides trimmed into squares. The swimming pool was well-maintained, as was the lawn, basketball court, and my personal favorite, the ground.

I entered the building to see all the students neatly shuffling along into the classes. I opened my locker to see how it looked fresh, as if it had never been used. I shoved my bag into it, satisfaction visible on my face as I breathed in the smell of fresh, new books as I took them out. 

I made my way to my class, but someone bumped into me. I looked down, helping them up. When she looked up, my wolf howled inside of me. I had never felt this feeling. Is this what happens when you find your mate? However, this feeling didn't last very long. When she got up, pushing her black hair back, I smelled something that made me scrunch up my nose, as my wolf was itching me to explore where the smell came from. 

shut it! I scolded it back.

"Oops. I'm so sorry for bumping into you." She said, apologetically and sincerely. But then, all of a sudden, she seemed to have remembered or noticed something as she Quickly took her eyes off me, making her way to the other side, as I saw her expression. She was... in deep thought? Or was she upset about something? Whatever it was, there was definitely frustration on her face. 

Leah: Who was that?

 I realized that she saw the whole thing.

Me: I'm... Not sure, but I think I just found my mate!

Seth: WHAT?! YOU FOUND YOUR MATE?!

Sam: Are you sure? You'd be feeling really possessive about her if she was your mate. Also, did your wolf howl in happiness?

Me: I.'m not so sure about the possessive part yet, but My wolf DID howl... Im sure of THAT!

Matthew: You guys! Shut it! Get to your classes!

I blocked the link. 

I reached my class, and when I saw her in it, too, my wolf, once again, howled inside of me. When I looked to her side, I tried to suppress my wolf's growl. She was sitting next to another guy.

 When did I become THIS possessive about a girl I had seen for a few seconds?! 

Then it became clear, she WAS my mate!
