Chapter Twelve

Kyler's POV

I woke up that morning feeling strangely tingly on the inside and a smile on my face. No, not a I'm-going-to-kill-your-family-and-bathe-in-their-blood kind, more of that smile you can't resist, out of pure bliss.

This was a slight difference from the usual groans and throwing myself back under the covers, which by the way, have been happening a lot more frequently as I edged towards my eighteenth birthday.

I stretched out, feeling my muscles ache. Oh right, after my pre-birthday party last night I had snuck into the woods to take a breather. There I ran into none other than Dalton Kane, who in case you were curious, was a fucking large black wolf. He towered over me, no surprise given that he was an older Alpha wolf, and gave me a nasty shock back in the pitch black woods last night.

Imagine my fright when I ran straight into a large mammal of some sort. Then I realized that it was a wolf.

After that we had a brief, awkward conversation before deciding that both our wolves were aching to be let out so we raced off into the woods. I could tell that he was holding back last night. For me. We ran around the forest for a good half hour before retiring to a small creek where we rested, lying on our backs in wolf form and just enjoying each other's company and the nearly full moon.

I felt so at peace with Dalton. It made me wonder if he could possibly be my mate, but then I dismissed that idea quickly. I have never heard of two Alphas mating with each other. It was absurd. And to tell the truth I was more than a little disappointed by that. In the end I concluded that it must be our Alpha pull that made us feel so light-hearted and at peace.

I have to say that I enjoyed last night tremendously and I'm sad it ended.

We didn't converse much and yet were able to read one another just fine.

"Kyler?" someone spoke, knocking on my bedroom door. I sighed and pushed off the bed, "I'm awake! what is it?" I answered, stopping by the dresser to get rid of that god awful bed hair.

"Can I come in honey?"

I mumbled a yes and my mother slipped into my room.

She was already dressed up this early in the day. "This is... different. Why you up so early?" she approached me and took the brush from me, brushing it out properly.

"Don't know, just felt like it." I sat on the edge of my bed, fiddling my hands. "Well, that's a good change. Remember that Aleks' crowning takes place tonight. Be there, Kyler." my mother stroked the back of my head like she did when I was a child and I scooted away awkwardly.

"My little boy's all grown up now! And becoming an Alpha no less! You'll have a beautiful, loyal mate who would give you adorable puppies and you won't need mommy and daddy anymore," she had this distant, sad look in her eyes and I felt bad immediately.

"Aw come on mom, I won't ever ditch you guys! I'll still need you here."

My mother sighed, suddenly looking tired. She was a blonde bombshell back in the day, from what everyone had told me. From the pictures there wasn't much difference between her and now, but she was aging and with that her weariness grew too.

Her eyes filled up with tears, which I found kind of too dramatic for this early in the morning, and gave me a hug. "I know that baby," she patted my cheek, "Just remember Aleksander's Beta ceremony, yeah?"

"Got it, mom."
