Micah's POV

I couldn't say I'm not lucky, because, in fact, I am lucky. I get what I want and beyond that. I'm grateful for the love my parents and brother have for me. And being the Beta's daughter, the pack looks up to me.

Everything's laid out for me.

I couldn't wish for more.

And yet, here I am, praying to the Moon Goddess for one thing that I'd like to have for the rest of my life - the only thing I really want and nothing else.

"Please," I repeated for like the nth time, as I looked at the moon. I sat at the sofa in front of the window, letting the breeze brush my cheeks with the windows opened.

In just a couple of hours, I'll be meeting my wolf and get my first shift. Whenever someone turns 16, their wolf emerge to be one with them. And, if lucky to be in the same pack, that's also the time they get to meet the one the Moon Goddess promised them - a fated mate - a gift to be cherished forever. My brother, Marcus, found his fated mate two years after his 16th birthday when he came to the annual ball the Alpha King organizes for unmated wolves who haven't found their mates in their respective packs. Although they say you can feel the pull, you can only confirm the mate bond when both of you turned 16. His mate, Lily, was from the Blue Moon pack and had just turned 16 that year.

"Let it be him," I continued, still looking at the moon. "Please let him be my mate."

Calix's POV

I smiled. I know I shouldn't but I can't help it and it just makes me really happy hearing her say those words.

I've always felt the pull and I've never wasted any moment to be with her. All I need to do was wait for her 16th birthday to confirm our bond.

Since we were kids, I've always followed her around - especially after that day..

*Flashback*

I was looking at our hand that was intertwined and I couldn't help but smile at how perfect it looks like.

"I love you," she said, happily, bringing my eyes to look at hers.

I smiled back at her. "I love you, too, my sweet little luna."

"Caliiiiix!" I heard someone shouting as I felt a hand hitting me on the stomach.

I groaned, stirring and waking up. It was just a dream, but it felt very real.

I looked up to see Marcus grinning at me and was about to hit me again.

"Marcus!" I yelled, narrowing my eyes at him. He just laughed. "I was having a good dream!"

"Everyone's looking for you, birthday boy," he said, shrugging. He's been my bestfriend for as long as I can remember. His dad is my dad's beta and we're the same age so they thought we'd get along. Hence, one time, during their meeting, they brought us along to play. Since then, we've been inseparable. "Yet, here you are. That got to be a good dream if you ditch your party. Tell me what it's about?"

"Well," I started, not sure if I should tell him or not because there is no doubt that the girl I saw in my dream is none other than her sister. And he is very protective of her.

"Well, what?" He raised his eyebrow, waiting for me to go on.

"Um, your sister," I continued, watching his reaction. He just looked at me with a confused expression. "She said she loves me and I called her my luna."

"What the fudge?!" His eyes widen. He started running outside, screaming. "I'm telling you to Micah!"

"Hey, Marcus!" I ran after him. "I'm telling you to your mom you said fudge!"

"Micah! Micah!" He called to her.

She was playing with bubbles on her own, smiling. She looks so cute, with her white sundress and curly dark brown hair.

Her smiles turned into a frown - no, more like a pouty duck face which I find so cute - as Marcus whispers something to her. She looked at me, narrowing her eyes the way his brother did earlier, marching towards me.

"Hey, Micah," I said, smiling at her. But my smiles didn't last long as she brought her fist up and punched me on the face. I held my cheek, massaging it, "why'd you hit me?"

"Marcus said you dreamt of me and said that I love you," she said angrily.

"Don't you?" I asked with hurt on my voice. "You are my luna. You are the future luna of this pack once I become the alpha someday. I love you."

"You can't just say that, Calix Blackfur!" She pointed out, pouting as she hits me in the arm.

"Oww!" I flinch. For her age, she hits like an adult.

"What's going on here?" My dad asked, looking at us as he and Micah's dad approached us. Our moms were trailing behind them.

"He called me his luna and tells me he loves me!" Micah said, eyeing me.

"Honey, what are you talking about?"  My mom asked me, looking amused.

"I'm not lying," I defended. "The Moon Goddess showed me in my dream. Micah and I are fated mates and she will be my future luna."

My mom just looked at me as if she was processing what I just said. Then she started laughing along with my dad and Micah's parents.

"I mean, if it's the Moon Goddess will, let it be," Mateo, Micah's dad, said, chuckling. "But aren't you too young to think about mates, boy?"

I pouted. "I'm already 12. I'm not too young to know that I love her, sir!"

It made everyone laugh harder.

"Micah," I said, smiling at her as I held my hand out for her. "Let's open my presents. Maybe we can find something there to play with."

"Okay," she smiled, taking my hand and holding unto it before we ran together to the table where the gifts were stacked.

*End of flashback*

"Please let him be my mate," she said, making me smile from ear to ear.

"My sweet little luna," I whispered, trying to control myself from the urge of wanting her, as I placed my hand on her door. I can smell her scent more precise now - blueberry muffins and honey; making my head go wild. Her scent is already becoming more distinct now as her birthday approaches - the confimation I need.

Any moment now and she'll finally feel the bond, too.

I can't wait for tomorrow.

I retreated back to my room, smiling excitedly.
