The Eagle Wolf

Chapter I

"Wake up!!!!" Someone screams in my ear. I lazily open my eyes to see my little sister waiting impatiently for me to get out of bed. "What time is it?" I groan. "4:30" she says. "In the morning!?!" I say aggravated and confused. "Yes in the morning, now get up!" She says tapping her foot. "Why?" I say sitting up in bed. "Because I said so." I roll my eyes at her bossiness. I get out of bed and usher her out so I can get dressed. I put on some jeans and a simple white shirt. I comb my hair and brush my teeth. I walk downstairs into the kitchen. "Finally" my sisters says throwing her hands up. "What is the big deal?" I ask. She gets something out of the fridge and sets it on the bar. "Happy Birthday!" She says excitedly. Oh right my birthday. How did I forget that? "Thank you sis" I smile and hug her. She opens up the box she set on the bar and it's a chocolate cake. "Did you really get my favorite cake?" I ask excited. "Yep, it's from Buskos and everything." she says. "You're the best" I hug her again. "I know" she flips her hair dramatically. We laugh. She pulls out two plates and a knife. She cuts us both a piece of cake. I grab two forks and we eat cake for breakfast.  "Wait I forgot!" She says standing up fast and knocking over the chair in the process. "What?" I say confused. She runs over to a drawer and pulls out a 21 candle. She puts it in the already cut cake and lights it. She sings the happy birthday song loud and really off key to me. I laugh and clap once she finishes singing. "Thank you, thank you." She says bowing.  I blow out the candle, but before I can she yells "Make a wish!" So I close my eyes and wish for the best birthday ever then blow out the candles. "What did you wish for?" She asks. "I can't tell you then it wouldn't come true" I laugh. "Whatever" she says. I check the time and see it's already 6:00. "I gotta go or I'll be late." I tell her. Her face falls into a frown. "I'll be back after work. Thank you for the best birthday." I tell her. "See you later" She says. "Love you" I call out as I leave. "Love you too!" She yells from inside.

I go to work in the best mood. I see very few people out, but that's just because it's too early for most people. Especially on a Saturday. "Hello Mrs. Walters" I wave at an elderly lady who is always in her front porch in her rocking chair. She looks up at me and waves. "Happy birthday Amoux" I thank her and keep walking. When I finally get to work I smile. I know weird but I just have a feeling that this is going to be a good day. "Good morning Mr. Amoux" Claire, our secretary welcomes me. "Good morning to you too Claire. I swipe my card and continue to the elevator. I wait for the doors to open and walk in. I push the 6th floor button and wait. I walk to my office, greeting people on my way. I sit in my chair behind my desk and get started on a bunch of paperwork leftover from yesterday.

Someone knocks on my door. "Come in" I call out. My beta, Andrew Morris, walks in. "Alpha" he says and bows his head in respect. "Andrew" I nod towards a chair. He sits down. "What did you want?" I ask going back to my paperwork. "I just wanted to wish you a happy birthday. So happy birthday." He laughs at the end. "Thanks" I say. Andrew has been my best freind for as long as I can remember of course he wouldn't forget my birthday. "Was that all?" I ask because he usually doesn't come into my office for small talk. "Well, no" he says after a pause. "Well?" I say urging him on. "It's just now that you're 21 you can find a mate and I thought that we could hold a party of sorts for people of all packs to come." He rambles on some more before I stop him. "That's sounds like a great idea, but you have to put it together because I'm busy today." I say warning him hoping that he'll decide that it's not worth doing. It's not like I don't want a party, but a lot of safety problems come into the picture. I do not want anyone being hurt on my behalf. "Of course Amy" he answers. I roll my eyes at the childhood nickname. He hurriedly leaves to get started. I get back to the paperwork.

Work is finally finished and surprisingly it wasn't too bad. I walk home like I always do and find Accalia,my sister, sitting on our porch steps. "I'm home!" I say once I get closer. She pops up off the stairs and hugs me. "Andrew came over and told me about the party. He told me all the details and when it's going to be." She says dragging me inside. "When is it?" I ask. "Tomorrow night!" She says excitedly. "What?!?" I say surprised. I thought he would at least wait a few days before he did this. Nobody is even going to get to come because of the late notice. "Yep" Accalia says popping the P. "Is dinner ready?" I ask changing the subject. "Mhm" is the reply. We both go into the kitchen and I see that there are four plates sat out. I give Accalia a questioning look. "Oh Andrew and his brother are coming over for dinner. They should be here soon." She answers my unasked question. I nod my head in understanding. Andrew is my best friend and Tony, his little brother, is Accalias best friend. It's reasonable as to why they would come over for my birthday. Just as I finish making my plate we hear a knock on the door. I get it before Accalia can. "Happy birthday!!!" Tony says hugging me. "Thanks" I answer and let them in. We all go back to the kitchen. They make their plates and we sit down and eat. "How has your birthday been so far?" Andrew asks. "Same old same old except this time I woke up extra early and had cake for breakfast." I shrug. "And you didn't invite us over?" Tony says sarcastically to Accalia. "Nope" she says back. "Jerk" Tony says. She just sticks her tongue out at him. Andrew and I laugh at their antics. Once we finish up dinner Accalia brings out ice cream. I lick my lips ready for the goodness of ice cream. Accalia  scoops us all big bowl fulls of ice cream. "AC you are the best" Tony says. "I know" she says. We all laugh and enjoy the ice cream.

"Who all is coming to the party?" I ask Andrew. "All the packs in Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Kentucky, and Arkansas." He answers. "Wow I'm surprised that many people can come." I say surprised. "Well I was trying to get some from Mississippi and Texas, but they all said it was just to far for them." I nod my head agreeing with the logic. "Are you excited?!?" Accalia asks. "I guess. It's just a party." I saying shrugging. "Yeah but you could possibly meet your mate" Accalia  says excitedly. She seems pretty excited about me finding my mate. I just shrug my shoulders nonchalantly. We make small talk after that. Once Andrew and Tony left I went up to bed. I fell asleep to the sound of the ceiling fan creaking and Accalia watching some movie. I smile at the thought of how good life is. If only I knew what would happen once I shifted.
