Blue Bloods

Chapter 1

What is love? A mere affection that causes the heart to flutter with hormones to verify it? It has been told, the moments we feel (the butterflies that flutters on the lining of our stomach) is love. The question isn't, what is love? After all, how do we know it and when is the exact moment it happens and does it truly last? The question is, how does it feel and when do we know it is in fact love?

Chapter one

I am Clover.

I don't like being alone for hours. To be honest: it forces my mind to remember the bad memories of my childhood. I am not weak, but don't leave me alone. Everyone has their weakness or flaws, as they call it. Mine is just loneliness. Something I don't tolerate. I love speaking to people and hearing their stories. My Aunt Justine used to tell me her stories. It was all about how she and her husband met and when she travelled the world and how fascinating it was. When ever she told me the tales, I used to close my eyes and imagine the pictures in my mind.

When they found out about what I was, nobody wanted to be with me. How I turned into a werewolf, made me an outcast to the family. That's a different tale, one that I indeed not have to imagine - I lived it.

"Alpha Darren is hosting a party tonight. Are you coming?" Dalana asked as she entered my home. She always walked into my home, without greeting me. She is just like me, except a little bit worse. I still love her to death.

"Yes, I am. It might as well be the last one before we receive our final marks. We officially made it without dying." I added as she poured us some orange juice. The granite top of our kitchen was cold against my bare arm. The thought of finishing high school was unrealistic to me. Reality haven't sunk in yet and the future is a bit frightening. Inside I know that there will be something good and all will be well.

"Did you apply for varsity?" She asked me as she tried to curl a stray curl that wont stay in its position. Her deep red hair always seemed perfect, although it didn't want to stay curled. She always wanted to know my marks. It was like a challenge she always dared me on doing. She always beat me with academic, but that's a flaw I don't like about her. If we would have been in different schools, we would have had less fights about academic.

"No, my marks were too low. I think I will be working in my father's company for a little while, until I figure out what to do." I said and downed the orange juice in one gulp. Here it comes, the endless blabbering of how perfect her life will be.

"I am going. At first I am going over seas to explore a bit. You know, find my mate." She said as she furrowed her brows. Then there was the whole mate scenario. She wanted hers, I didn't want mine. I was too young too settle down and provide pups for him, so he can drink his bear and work on that nasty rounded barrel. How the hell does she know that her mate would be overseas? That's impossible or possible. You cant search for your mate. Time will keep on running out and until then, fate will determine when we meet our mates. I hope to run away from him, not really interested in those things at the moment.

Definitely not. I will do my own thing, stay away from males and enjoy myself for as long as I am able to. I saw what mate's did to my brother. He's barely twenty, running as Beta and he has a pup on the way. The poor women carrying it, looks depressed and sad the whole time. It's either that or she's eating up all the food. I wonder how many times my brother has to stock the fridge? She's due any day now.

Tiny pink feet don't interest me. Whenever I hold a baby, they always cry. I don't know how to soothe them. I don't think I will be able to be a mother one day. Babies and things don't appear naturally to me, nor does instinct. I sighed as Dalana gave me another look. She knew I weren't listening to her blabbering and inconsistent bragging.
