Any relation to places or people are absolutely coincidental. This is my story of werewolves and soul-mates, don't like it get lost and read something else, if this is copied it will not be tolerated and I will report this to Wattpad if I find any copies of this. This is what I imagine Valeria to look like.

Ashley's POV
I'm Ashley Hawthorn and I live a relatively normal life, unless you count me being able to shift into a werewolf and Angel then everything is relatively normal for me. It is a shame but I hide myself behind my baggy clothes because of my stepmother Lucy and my stepsisters Valeria and Rose. I'm treated as their slave and I sure hate it but I don't hold my tongue so I piss them off greatly, but of course Rose is the only nice one towards me.

"Ashley!" My stepsister, Valeria, screeched. "Where is my breakfast!?" She demanded yelling.

"In the dining room along with everyone else's!" I replied.

I heard footsteps running rapidly down the staircase of the house, or should I say mansion. I just moved out of the way otherwise I would've been knocked over. Not happening today. Lucy and Rose descended the staircase with the grace of prideful females, but that was to be expected. We live in a territory full of wolves and luckily I can hide my scent from them, but it may come out when I meet my mate.

You see when a werewolf finds their mate they have a distinctive smell that only their other half can smell. Were's usually find there mates when they hold the sixteenth birthday of that specific wolf and even if your mate is younger as long as one of is sixteen they can find there mates. The shifters, the term we prefer to use, that are mates have the opposite fur to their mates and will have a patch of the same colour fur in the exact spot, for example if a white wolf has a black patch at the paw a black wolf will have a white patch at the paw, understand? Once the male marks the female and the female marks the male they both go into heat where they have consummate the mating ritual. Though once the pair are in heat there is a more likely chance of having a pup, but that doesn't happen very often. Shifters live twice as long as normal humans so we have a longer life span. If an unmarked pair of shifters decide they don't want their soul mates they can either reject them, but that doesn't happen because once you do excruciating pain comes into play and if the body can't handle it they both die or if they are already mated to another wolf both their wolves die and they turn into humans. Human mates, however are a different story altogether, you see, when a shifter has a human mate it tells you two things; that the moon goddess brought these two together for a reason or because the shifter lost their mate and the moon goddess gave them a second chance by giving them a human mate, although it is uncommon it isn't unheard of or rare. Harsh but that's the way the mating system works.

Now a wolf has a specific scent but when their mates find them their scent usually turns into vanilla or something like that with a hint of something else. My scent on the other hand I have to hide, which is shame cause I could get anyone to bow down to me with a look, I'm that powerful. My scent smells like Royalty. Yeah, bitch I'm royalty, I was told mpby my wolf, Lyra, and Angel, Carol.

I must of zoned out because next thing I know I'm on the ground sporting a red hand print of the left side of my face. Thankfully due to my werewolf and Angel healing it isn't there for very long. I stand up abruptly and turn to face Lucy, my stepmother, sneering right at me. I cock an eyebrow and wait for her to yell at me.

"Ashley!" She yells. "Don't zone out as I am talking to you, you disgraceful and disrespectful mutt." She sneers straight at me looking proud.

I peer over her shoulder to see Valeria smirking hotly at me and Rose looking down at her plate with her lips turned down into a frown. I catch her eyes and give her a smile to show I'm alright and she smiles back at me then bows her head down again.

Although Lucy, Valeria and I don't get along with Rose it's a different story. She doesn't speak to me when they are around but if they aren't around she is a complete chatterbox to me. She stood up for me once when I was a bit younger and Lucy was seeing red and was about to strike Rose when I took the beating for her and since then we've been the best of friends in secret.

"You are to hurry and get dressed for we are having another pack on the territory. The Moon pack is going to start living on this territory along with our pack. Valeria you are to meet the soon-to-be Alpha, of their pack, and try to seduce him if you aren't mates but if you are you will become the packs Luna and then we can become one pack. Rose you are to stay away from the Alpha and try to find your mate, someone like a Beta or Third-In-Command. Ashley you are to stay completely away from the higher rankings unless we have been invited to the pack house." Lucy said as the plan started to form in her head.

Rose and I were to flabbergasted to even form a comment or protest. We both looked at each other and we weren't surprised by her mothers actions. I was like 'bitch are you trying to sell yourselves to others'.

"But mother, I heard that the Alpha of the Moon pack is turning up today at our school." Valeria replied only then did she yell, "I haven't got enough time to make myself look presentable for him!"

After her little rant she up and left and literally flew up the stairs she was that fast. Rose and I were barely holding back our smirks of evil. Lucy seemed to notice when she waved her hand for Rose to leave us and only then did she turn to face me.

"Stay away from the higher rankings you filthy omega." She said dangerously.

I snorted along with my wolf and Angel in my mind. We were thinking of ways to destroy and humiliate this Luna in front of our pack, The Sun Pack, only then did I realise that it was ironic and I might even meet my mate from The Moon Pack. At this My wolf, Lyra and my Angel, Carol, seem to perk up at this, they seemed to know something I didn't but I didn't dare to care, for I could wait to meet my mate.
