I love summer don't you just love summer? God it's finally my 17th birthday and I feel amazing. Finally no longer 16 but 17. Which means I shall soon find my mate. Oh God i wonder how were going to meet, is he just going to look in my eyes and whisk me away from my father and my pack. Hmm well wouldn't that be a story to tell the kids.


I'm brought out of my thoughts when I hear Ameila my older sister calling me


"Kaylan! Get your lazy ass back here i've got someone i'd like you to meet and he goes by the name Daniel!"

I turn around to see a boy just a bit older than me give me a sheepish smile. I look deep into his eyes trying to feel something, forcing myself to feel something. Nope. Nothing just nothing. Ah oh well there are plenty fish in the sea and i shall find mine.


I desperately look at Ameila looking for an escape plan so i can make this less awkward as Danny boy over here still hasn't gotten the message. "Huh?" Ameila looks at me confused before finally understanding.


"OH! Daniel did I also tell you that we make an awesome toad in the hole you should really try it mmm I'm hungry lets go try it." And with that Ameila was gone with an obviously confused Daniel. 


Me on the other hand was super excited, I wonder what my mate will look like. Will he have facial hair? Or piercings? Or maybe he would be half black like me? That reminded me of my mother. She was known as a black beauty and i always smile when people say i have something of hers or that i remind them of her. I really do wish that i had gotten to meet her before she got killed. Well i guess the odds were just not in my favour as she was murdered a month after i was born.


After what felt like an eternity of me just sitting and thinking about my mother i finally got up as i was starting to feel hungry and i was dark. As i was walking inside i noticed Ameila kissing a random guy from our pack. No she hadn't found her mate and was trying to get her mind of it by being with other guys.


I could never do that. I want my first kiss to be with my mate and my first time to be with him also.


When i reach inside of the house i smell my all of my aunties amazing cooking. That's one of the perks of having African heritage they're traditional food is amazing. I hope one day I can cook like that. I heard that my mother could cook and my father always said that one of the many things he missed about her was her cooking. And that even my aunties couldn't cook nearly as good as her. Wow she must have been a great cook because my aunties were the best cooks i knew and their food tasted amazing so i cant really imagine anything better.



I looked around the table trying to cancel it down to just three things i wanted which is really hard as there must be at least 50 different things on the table. I finally chose my three things and went up to my room to eat it. 


Before I can open my eyes I can already hear giggling and only one person laughs like that. Navaeh. I walk i clearly aware that i am not alone. "It feels so great to finally be 17 but only one thing could make this feeling better..." I look down to the ground with a dramatized sad expression on my face. "What is it!?" I hear Navaeh cry out softly. 


I pause adding a few quiet sobs whilst doing so. "My cousin Navaeh.... I wish i could give her a hug." I pout my lips looking directly at her lame hiding spot. "HERE I AM!" She shouts. I quickly put down my plate and open my arms as wide as possible just as she enters them. I pick her up and spin around only stopping when i feel as though i am ready to puke.
