Mighty (werewolf, bwwm)

chapter 1

Sage's POV**

The annoying twinkling ringtone of my phone woke me up. I swipe my phone off of the dresser quickly, to eliminate the noise. It's 6:30 and I am not a morning person. I sit up wiping the dry tears from my eyes and hold onto the bridge of my nose to tryto get rid of the stuffy feeling of my sinuses.

I get up and a huge headache pounded against my skull from crying in my sleep. Slowly I get up and go to the bathroom. I grab my toiletries from the cabinet and turn the shower on hot. I scrub my skin with my dove soap and loofah for a while before rinsing off, then I brush my teeth. Usually, I like to brush my teeth in the shower if I decide to shower in the morning because there's no point in wasting water from the sink. I step out of the shower and dry off.

I go into my room to moisture my skin with coconut oil and lotion and then apply deodorant. I slip on a black lace bra with matching lace panties. I like to wear cute under clothing even if no one will be seeing them but me. I get dressed in my uniform for work which consists of khaki skinnies, a black shirt and a visor.

I look in the mirror at my unruly, unmanageable, defiant, insubordinate hair. So many synonyms for hair that's a piece of work. I would have thrown my hair into a bun but the steam from my shower made my mane puff and curl. No matter how difficult it is to manage, I love my hair. I put my hair up into a puff and slip on my visor . I walk down the steps to be greeted by Melissa who took me in after my parents were killed.

"Morning love, here's breakfast" she said as she sat down a plate with blueberry waffles and eggs.

"Thanks Mel. What are you doing today?"

"Well I don't really know yet. Maybe I'll get my hair and nails done and then come home and binge watch tv shows"

"You and your tv shows I swear. You're gonna be one of those women who watch soap operas and gossip all day."

"Not yet , I'm only 25 and still single. I haven't even had kids yet so that midlife crisis will have to hold on for about two more decades. Then since I'd be 45 , I could do whatever I want because I'd be going through menopause." She replies with a toothy grin.

I blink slowly and just stare at her while she sits across from me smiling and cutting her waffle. "You've got it all planned out don't ya?" I ask dryly , smirking.

"Got to at this age"

"Please you're barely older than me. Only by 8 years."

"That's like a thousand!"

"Please shut up Mel." I say, slipping on my converses and walking towards the front door.

"BUT YOU LOVE ME THOUGH! HAVE FUN AT WORK!!"

I roll my eyes and walk through the door to my car. Mel is basically my best friend but I also think of her her as my sister, even though she was also considered my guardian. I have other friends at school and work but I don't really hang out with them of because I'm always with Mel.
