I am new to this, so keep with me. This is NOT edited. I will try to go back and edit once i get some time or finish the book. Thank for reading! :)

Walking through the door to my two story house, I called out to mom to let her know I was home from school. Setting my back pack down next to the door since I had no homework. I walked into the kitchen to grab a snack. Walking into the family room I happened to glance at the family picture that was taken two years ago. I was wearing a dress my mom made for me, it was green and sundress style. It was taken right before my father died and my brother left the family. I held back the tears and walked right up the stairs into my mothers work room.

“Oh Sophia look at the dress I’m making, it should be ready by the ball. I can’t believe you are already 16 years old. Oh your father would be so proud.” My mother said and smiled.

“Thanks mom, although you know I’m not supposed to steal all the attention away from every one else. But with this dress I might.”

“Oh don’t be so silly, hurry go try it on so I can hem it if needed.” I grabbed the dress from mom and made my way over to the bathroom. Trying it on, I walked out and stood in front of the floor length mirror. Mom makes dresses for a living for the Alpha and Beta’s families a lot. So we have to have a big mirror for them to see the dresses on them.

Staring back at me was a brown haired, blue eyed, girl with a dark blue dress that had a sparkling material over the dark blue so when she moved it sparkled. The neck line was cut into a V shape and it had one shoulder strap.

“Mom it’s beautiful. When did you find the time to make this?” I asked her.

“Well I worked for a few nights up until one to finish the Alpha’s daughter and the Beta’s daughter. So I could have time to make yours. Don’t worry theirs are different colors and little bigger around the bottom so it looks more like a ball gown. They loved them. I made your skin fitting. But looks like I wont have to hem anything at all it fits perfect.” Mom said and gave me hug.

The Alpha’s daughter’s name is Kate and the Beta’s daughter’s name is Kandy. They aren’t mean at all and we get along somewhat nice. They aren’t really my friends. But I use to see them a lot. Before my dad died my father was Kandy’s dad’s best friend growing up. But after dad died they stopped coming over so much. We quit going over there.

In case you haven’t figured it out by now I’m a werewolf. And in two weeks is the Mates Ball. Well it was two weeks from Saturday. It was all the unmated males and females go to hopefully find their mate. The Alpha family invites all the packs to come. And they built a special building just for it. Most females have their dad escort them to it. But this year I will be going by myself. This is also my first year going. You have to reach 16 before you go. Because when you reach 16 is when your mate will find you.

Going back into the bathroom to change back into normal clothes. I handed mom the dress to keep safe and walked down the hall to my room. Opening my door I faced my dark purple walls. With a window facing the woods and a closet door open from this morning finding clothes to wear to school. I’m glade it’s Friday, and I can clean my closet. See my mom makes me tons of cool clothes the only problem is well I don’t have enough space for them. And the clothes aren’t like lame either. Mom makes clothes you would find at the store. I have on a pair of her jeans right now. Mom and I have grown closer since dad died and my brother Jason left. I looked at the photo on my night stand of my whole family. I was ten and my brother was fourteen. My brother is four years older than me. I smiled and went to straighten my closet.

An hour after I started I was done. And someone was knocking on our door.

“I’ll get it mom.” I half yelled as I started walking down the steps. She yelled thanks. And I heard the sewing machine start again. I reach the front door, and pulled it open.
