A New Beginning

Chapter One

Waking up this morning I knew today would be no different from the others.  The weather may be different but not the people in my life. Correction...the one person in my life. But I'm gonna give today the benefit of the doubt. I sigh, as I look up at the ceiling. I feel a pang in my chest.

  "Woman up Blaire. Life is filled with ugly truths," I whisper to myself. I roll out of bed and make my way towards my bathroom. It's my birthday I should show myself some self love. Smiling to myself, I find my vanilla scented bath bombs and run myself a bath. As a kid, I've always loved the smell of vanilla. It makes me feel relaxed and it really smells good. I submerge my entire body underwater and hold my breathe as long as I can before coming up.

Ha! Definitely a new record. And I know what you're thinking. "Blaire you're wierd as hell." Thank you for thinking so. I sit there for a few minutes daydreaming.

"SHIT!" I scream quickly hopping up in the bathtub. I moved so quickly trying to get out of the shower that I lost my balance and fell headfirst towards the hard tile floor. It happened in slow motion. Instant kicked in and I spread my arms catching myself. I huff out in frustration. Well there goes my day.

I had totally forgotten that today would be my first day at Riverwood Highschool. The worst part is that I would be starting in the middle of the school year. I curse to myself wishing we had never moved from our sweet homley place back in Minnesota. But mom got a job offer she couldn't turn down. I swear all that woman cares about is work. My mom is a lawyer and she is one hundred percent a workaholic. It's been that way for as long as I could remmeber. Sadly my father passed away when I was young. Mom says he was a soldier and they had a one night stand. Even he got deployed to Iraq, they kept in contact for about a week before he died in combat.  Soon after mom found out the news, she also discovered she was pregnant with me. Mom says I was her motivation for her to get her life straight. I'm happy to know I was her motivation. But I wish she would stop and think about out bond, because it's practically nonexistant.

Going through my wardrobe I find a pair of black ripped jeans, a black tank, and I pair it with a black leather jacket. Nice going Blaire, you look like a grim reaper. And honnestly with my raven colored hair that stops at my waist, I could totally get the job. As I brush my hair I observe my features. Personally, I think I'm one badass looking chick. I have decent sized breast that are firm, a small waist that complements my wide hips, and a big butt.  My eyed are a deep emerald green and my face blessed with freckles. From my button nose to my full lips and defined eyebrows. I'm desirable right...?

But no one every looks my way. And I've come to find comfort in hiding in the shadows. But thats gonna change.

"Okay Blaire, just get through today." I nod to myself in the mirror. I grabbed my black boots and head downstairs. I already know mom isn't home. A jolt of dissapointment hits me. Go figure. I'm used to it. I walk right to the front door skipping breakfast and make my way to my bike. My dark blue kawasaki ninja bike, I smile to myself as I mount my bike. This school is gonna be different. Time to introduce the new and improved Blaire Warren.

BAM!!

"Know your place Astrid!" A booming voice with authority yells. "No one will lecture me on what this pack needs. It is my pack. It is my right. Know your place before I snap your neck and toss your lifeless body somewhere not even the best noses could sniff out. YOU ARE NOT FIT TO BE MY LUNA!"

Astrid cowers in fear. Tears streak down her face. She looks innocent. Hazel brown eyes with a heart shaped  face. She is pure beauty. The face of an angel. The body of a she-devil that makes the unmated wolves lust for her. She may look innocent but she is conniving. I remind myself of that as I look at her. Once upon a time I though she was my mate and would one day when I become alpha, this packs Luna. It's been seven since I turned eighteen and since then I have known, she is not my mate.

A mate is gifted to us wolves, by the moon goddess. Our mate is shaped into perfection and once we turn of age we will be able to recognize our mate. Mates are sacred. I had hoped it was Astrid. I was so in love. Finding out she wasn't my mate I ended things with her. Time to time she would manipulate me to let her I to my bed. And I would fall for it. But I would snap out of it when she would try and convince me to make her my Luna. Astrid is just power hungry. She may love me, but she loves the power more.

"Get out Astrid," I turn away from her looking out into the night sky. I feel bad for threatening to kill her. But I can't show any signs of weakness. I hear her huff as she slams the door behind her. My head drops lower. My pack may hate me. But I do what I have to do to keep them safe. I may be a cold-hearted alpha, but ever since my father passed down this legacy. I've turned the family name into the most feared and powerful pack in the world. The Crimson Moon pack.

I take a quick shower and head to bed. I have classes to teach tomorrow.  I sigh. There is a new student starting in the middle of the school year.  Hopefully she knows her history.

Blaire Warren

Welcome to Riverwood High, home to one big bad wolf, Alex Romanov.

I laugh at my wolf. Never a dull moment with him in my head. Me and my wolf are so in sync. We do what we have to. And he doesn't judge me like the rest of my pack. He is very entertaining. And like a dog he is a horny bastard. I blame him for Astrid weaseling her way into my bed. But I'm gonna wait for her. My mate. My Luna. The one gifted to me. I can't wait to be complete. My mate...my new beginning.
