Amber
I lugged my backpack while walking beside my best friend Beatrice or more commonly known, Bea. "You look like shit," I tell her while we walk up our school steps. "Yeah, I know my mom won't stop pestering me about how when we turn 18 next week we find our mate and move into the pack house,' Bea mumbles sleepily. "And, as your best friend it's my job to make sure you're not sleepy, so, I got your favorite, an iced caramel macchiato with oat milk," I say quietly handing her a cold Starbucks cup and a paper towel.
She mumbles a thanks and we walk through the school building. Oh great, Fallon's at our lockers I really wish he wasn't the Alpha's son or I would so kick his ass, he never has enough of tormenting people. My wolf Chloe growls at me. I shoot Bea a look and she nods her head. Together we walk to our lockers and abruptly stop in front of the boys who make our lives a living hell. The Alpha's son: Fallon and the Beta's son: Hudson. "You're in our way," Bea growls. "Oh Beatrice, is that a nice way to greet your future Beta," Hudson taunts. "You don't matter as much as the Alpha anyway so it really doesn't matter," I mumble. He glares at me "I wouldn't talk like that if I was you, Princess," Fallon mumbles using his finger to lift up my chin. "Fuck off," I growl.

"So, is the answer X or Y?" I ask Bea looking up from our textbook page. She shrugs her shoulders and tosses me a bag of chocolate. "Thanks, these will always be amaze-balls, I think I'm gonna go for a run do you want to come?" I ask Bea. "No, but be safe and careful, love you," she says reaching her arms up like a baby. I stand up and hug her "Love you to, don't eat all of the chocolate," I quip then trail out the room.

I run through the woods with the damp mud on my paws and all I can think isThis Is Life. I run all the way to the pack house. I don't know why I just felt an urge to go there. In the front yard of the huge building are my siblings Devon and Atlas, Bea's sisters, Blakely and Bryton, Fallons' little sister, Faye, and Hudson's little sister Mackenzie and they are all playing in their wolf forms together. Are siblings may like each other but there's no way in hell we like each other.
Then an object swished across the sky, glinting in the sun, it was a pocket knife of some sort? What the fuck? But it was too late and landed directly in Faye's back. I changed out of my wolf form.

"Devon, listen to me switch to your human form, and slowly lift Faye's head up and place it on your lap and talk to her about...fashion," I urge my little sister Devon. She does as I say and starts talking about her color-blocked sweater. I rush over to Faye and pull up her shirt halfway and inspect the wound. It's a huge gash. "Blakely get a rag and non-latex gloves!" I shout at her. She runs in the pack house super fast and comes out in the blink of an eye. She throws the things at me and I force them on. I slowly lift Faye's chin up and check her airway. I slowly pulled the knife out. Recalling my medic training when I was just 10 years old. We all get trained super young especially if you have Luna, Beta, or Alpha genes, which my family has. I place a rag on the wound and apply pressure with the rag. Once it stopped bleeding I dressed the wound.

"Thank you," the Alpha gushed. "No problem Alpha," I say giving him a slight bow. He nods his head approvingly and dismisses me. I pulled Atlas, Devon, Blakely, and Bryton behind me. "You guys didn't ask to come to the pack house," I scold. "We don't have to Gem, we're werewolves and we're part of the Moonshine Pack, so we can come to the pack house whenever we feel like it," Atlas says back smirking and using my nickname. Get it, Amber is a type of gem.
I slap him on the back of his head, "Don't talk back to your favorite sister," I muse. "Actually Devon's my favorite but anything that helps you sleep at night," he says shooting me a playful glare.
