First love

Prologue

NICOLE'S P.O.V

"Oh my gosh, Nicole! Your birthday is in a weeks time!" My best friend ginger exclaimed.

My name is Nicole, and the story behind my name is that my parents had found out they were mates many years ago on Halloween day sure, they could've named one of my brothers Nic or Cole but my mother really liked the name Nicole and so when she had me, she named me just that.

Ginger is my best friend like I mentioned before and she is a few month's younger than me. She is a tall brunette with blue eyes, extremely gorgeous and she gets me so well.

In a weeks time, it is going to mark the sixteenth year since the day my late mother brought me into this world. On the day of my sixteenth birthday, I am going to be able to shift. Into a werewolf. Just like my older brothers and my relatives and friends above the age sixteen. I am honestly very nervous after hearing all the stories about how it feels like to shift, " your bones will feel like they've been smashed into billions of tiny pieces, only to be rearranged and put back again. It is the most painful thing," they say. However that was not the only thing I was nervous about.

I was about going to find my mate. The only guy that would ever love me whole heartedly and would willingly die for me. Was he going to be one of those tall dark and handsome guys? Blonde hair blue eyed typical all American? Maybe a mixture between both? I had so many questions that could not me answered until I met my mate face to face.

"What if he rejects me?" That was burning question. I've been waiting to find my mate for almost all my life and I freaked rejection the most. Most of the time mates accepts each other but there are a few times when or mate rejects the others. Sure it doesn't happen all the time but still, there's a chance.

Everyone says that when you find your mate, it's like finding the missing puzzle that you have been trying to find and if I do get rejected, I'd be devastated.

Thinking of rejection makes me upset so I clear my head and all this happy: when I meet my mate, he is going to be the best thing that has ever happened to me. He is going to care for me all the time.

Just when those happy thought's came to mind, I remember how protective my brothers are of me. I have four brothers. Austin is my oldest brother and current Alpha of our pack. He took over the pack after my father, the previous Alpha, died in a war. Twenty-one years old and has a mate who is the same age and her name is Jennifer. Brandon, my second oldest brother, beta of our pack. Twenty years old and has a mate who is Also twenty and her name is Lili. Kaleb, my third oldest brother currently eighteen years of age and has a mate she is eighteen as well and her name is Kayla. Lastly Kaden, my twin brother who is also fifteen going on sixteen in exactly one week and is obviously mateless because he too is not of age yet.

As the youngest and only girl of the family, they were protective. Sometimes overly protective of me. They never let me go on dates so if I were to find my mate, they could easily not approve and I would never be able to see my mate ever again, so hopefully they approve of him.

"Damn why is your brother so freaking hot?" Margret or in short I call her, ginger, asked as she looked over at my twin brother. She's had this weird crush on Kaden since I don't even know when.

"Woah ginger. I cannot ever think of my brother as hot. That is just plain screwed up. In my eyes, my brother, no, all my brothers are disgusting pigs, but in all seriousness, the three of them are average looking. I cannot deny that as that would just mean I am insulting myself because we have the same genes," I said in reply to ginger but she clearly was not listening. She was to busy staring at my dear brother.

I look at the car park, were ginger was looking at and saw my brother Kaden leaning against his car, talking to a bunch of school sluts. You know. The ones that do not even try to dress decently when coming to school.

As I looked closer, I could see Alex standing with my brother, they were both talking to the queen of all the school sluts. Probably discussing a three way. Thinking of Alex , Kaden and the queen of all sluts having a three way almost made me puke. Disgusting.

Alex is kaden's best friend. He's been our neighbor for many years and is also part of the pack. He is sixteen but mateless. With his good looks and charm, he is a popular guy. Only thinks getting into a girls pants, wherever he can, whenever he can. I used to have a huge crush on him but that obviously ended when he started bullying me on my tenth birthday. He has not stopped bullying me till this day and now when I look back, I wonder what I used to see in him, besides his looks and charms.

"Come on, Nicole, your brother is so hot and dreamy. I would love to get some of him any day." Ginger said and I mentally groaned. Turns out she did actually hear what I had Said to her previously.

"In my eyes he hot." I left no room for argument as we made over to Kaleb's Porsche. He was giving gimmes and I a lift back to our place because neither of us could drive yet. We had to pass by Kaden and Alex to get to Kaleb's car. When we walked pass, I looked over at the pair and I swear I saw Alex smirk at me.
