Song of the Week: Buzzcut Season - Lorde

The sunlight creeped in through the the small window in my room. I lifted my head to shield the light, then a thought crossed my mind. I'm nineteen today. Today is November eighteen, I am nineteen now and could meet my mate at any moment!!

"Our mate," my wolf corrected. With that in mind I ran into the bathroom with a new motivation to get dressed and ready for the day. I showered and curled my hair using the curling wand one of my mothers guest had left a couple years ago. I used make up that my mother left in storage.

I tried apply makeup the best I could I had never used makeup before. The lipstick felt like dirt on her lips. The odd powdery substance that based on the packaging I assumed went on my eye lids.
Any other girl would have their mother helping them get ready because they were nineteen now but not my mother she was somewhere in the house probably cursing at the goddess for giving her a daughter like me.

I wiped at my hazel eyes and applied my makeup the best I could considering I had never used it. I realize its about six and I should start going to the pack house because all the high schoolers are probably waking up and need their clothes ironed.

I left my room and walked out the backdoor, without my mother noticing. The air was a bit chilly and I wrapped my hole filled cardigan around me tighter. I felt as if someone was watching me but I looked back at my house and realized nobody was watching.

I frowned and quicken my pace afraid of what could be hiding in the woods. After about three minutes I saw the pack house starting to peak through the forest tree tops. The "nerds" were already leaving for school I saw Carly the only person who has never treated me unfairly glance at me wearily and then look away.

A couple of boys glanced at me startled, it must be the makeup I thought they finally realized I am pretty. I walked up the marble steps swiftly and opened the large wooden doors.

Commotion greeted me and I looked around everyone was moving around franticly. Women and Men were carrying articles and talking rapidly amongst one another.

"Jessica! You stupid child I told your mother to tell you to stay home. What is wrong with your face? Oh I get it you wanted to make all of us look like fools and -," she was abruptly cut off by a growl.

"Who wants to make the pack look like fools, I need to -" steps were heard but suddenly stopped.

"Nobody leave! I can smell her! We can sense her presence!" I stiffened in disbelief and fright as far as I knew I was the only person in the pack that turned nineteen today.

"Jessica?!?" He must have moved while I was deep in thought. I looked up startled and dread filled my body, "MATE," screamed my wolf.

I moved my head from side to side in confusion and disbelief. All the hope I had for a mate that would take my out of my own personal hell flew out the window.

Liam the alpha's son and my childhood best friend stood in front of me. Liam's eyes flashed different emotions and dread filled my body when I realized he would reject me.

" Jessica Loup I Liam Apeiro reject you as a mate and exile you from the Night Blade pack. You have ten minutes to be off of my father's land."

My wolf howled in pain but I did my best to ignore it and said "As you wish."

Turning around swiftly and forcing my wolf to shift. I noticed she no longer made noise but could sense her pain. I jumped out the door that my father open he was about to enter and saw me run faster than ever before north of Night Blade's land.

"Jessica! Jessica!" Could be heard around the forest but suddenly his cries where cut off either the wind or someone at the pack house I wasn't sure but I ran and got off their land with only a couple minutes to spare. I ran for days maybe I lost count of the nights and days I only ran.

I only stopped when five large wolves stood in front of me. Snapping their jaws and ready to attack but just as the large black wolf lunged I fell to the ground. The world disappeared and everything went black. **********************************************Author's Note************************************************************************************************ Hey Y'all!
