My stepdad. My mate.

Proluge

Chapter dedicated to girlwithabrxkensmile for my awesome cover.

I inherited all my dads features. His raven black hair, pale skin, and blue eyes. So to say I look nothing like my mom is an understatement. She has tan skin, warm brown eyes, and golden blonde hair. My mom says I'm just about a spitting image of my father.

So when she told me she is getting married to mysterious guy that I've never met before I wasn't shocked. We are nothing alike and never quite saw eye to eye, so when she casually mentioned the wedding in 3 days and I was to be her maid of honor the only thing that shocked me was the fact that I was going to be the maid of honor. I saw it coming. I sensed a new guy in her life. Of course I never fit into her perfect picture of a perfect life.

I was surprised when she said we would be moving over to his pack, three states way.

Pack as in werewolf pack. Werewolf as in half human half wolf species. A very sensitive species, and my mother isn't being very sensitive. Ripping me a teenage girl away from the only life she's ever know. To top it off moving to one of the biggest pack in north america.

Oh and we leave now.

"Mom please don't make me go! Just a few more months until my 18th birthday then I can find my mate!" I yell at my mom as she as the movers finish packing the rest of our stuff into the last of the moving trucks.

"Kimberly get in the car, we're leaving, now." she said sighing.

"Please Mom I don't want to leave I have friends here! A boyfriend! I don't have any of that in California!" I said yanking on her arm. We're moving to California, I know it sounds all like sunshine and rainbows but it in fact is not.

"Kimberly! Get your overnight bag and suit cases and get in the car!" She said raising her voice.

I bowed my head in respect grabbed my bags and got in the Porsche. There is no changing her mind when she's mad, and I know better than to argue.

I got in the car and put on my head phones. A few minutes later my mom got in the car and we started driving away from the only home I ever knew. I pulled out my phone and took a picture as we drove away. At approximately 7:30 am on May 21, 2016 my life ended.

This is officially the worst Sunday of the worst summer ever.

It takes approximately 10 hours and 37 minutes to go from Arizona to Cali. We were on and off the road taking time to stop at fast food restaurants along the way to get breakfast, snacks, and lunch. We also stopped for gas at the gas stations and I listen to my mom complain about all the miles this trip is putting on her new car. A present from her fiancé.

We arrived at our destination at about 8:59 pm. To say I am starved is an understatement. The last time we had ate was at 6 and I have a big appetite like most other werewolf's. I get out of the car with my overnight bag slug around my shoulder and my suit case in trail behind me. I pulled out my phone and snap a few pictures of the monster house in front of me.

"Holly, my love, you've finally made it!" A mans voice boomed all around, I stopped dead in my tracks and turned to look at him. To say he is beautiful is an understatement.

He's gorgeous! His murky green brown eyes captivate me without trying. Walking right past me he goes to my mother engulfing her in a hug then picked her up twirling her around. I pulled my camera out of my overnight bag and started snapping pictures of both of them. To be honest I was kinda jealous of my mother, but I don't know why.

Finally I put down the camera and go through the pictures I took and deleted the ones I didn't like. Finally I'm acknowledged, and my mother calls me over. She puts her hands on my shoulder.
