       "Santiago let him go please, I beg you!!" I yelled from accross the court yard.  Santiago turned his firey filled eyes met with mine and yelled with anger, "NO, he has taken what is MINE!!"  My eyes stinging, warning me that tears were about to burst.  "Santiago, please listen to me. You need to calm down so I can explain." I pleaded.....
       Your confused I bet, here let us go back to the very begining, where it all started....  My name is Monica, I'm 15 years old, I will be 16 TODAY and I AM SO EXCITED!!!  I will finally shift for the first time, which also means I will find my mate not to long after.  My mother told me some things about mates. She says that they are made to love you and care for you unconditionaly, no matter what.  Her mate, my father, was stolen from her after my younger brother was born.  There are four of us, I have two older sisters and a younger brother.  My father was murdered by a rouge wolf, my father tried to help him but the rouge lost control.  I don't  really like to talk about my father since I didn't know him.  I'm not as close to my siblings as I would like to be, so I don't really know much about them, except they are always in and out of jail and sleeping around.
       I stay to my self mostly.  I think its because, I'm the odd ball of the family.  My siblings are all so tall, slim and slender, with shorter black hair and green eyes. But, I on the other hand, am shorter 5' 2", thin but not a size 2 and curvy, with longer dark aburn hair, and brown eyes.  I'm very boring if you ask me.  They have always left me out of stuff and pushed me away, as if I didn't belong.  I don't mind it much anymore because, I have my two best friends in the whole wide world that are always there for me, Jackie and Brittney.  They know how much I've been through with my family, so I  consider them more family then friends.  But enough about me, let us begin where it all started, it was the morning of my birthday.
       "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR MMOOONNNIIICCCCAAAA, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YYYOOOOUUUUUUUUUU!!!!" sang, my mother, Jackie, and Brittney.  I literally almost jumped out of my bed this morning they scared me so bad.  "You all could have at least waited until I had woken up, I almost had a heart attack."  I laughed as I blew my candles out.  "Don't forget to make a wish honey." my moher said, with a heart warming smile.  "Oh mother, I could never forget to make one, I've made the same wish every year."  I answered her with a smile.  Every year on my birthday, I make the same wish, that is to find my mate.  And that day has come, well I hope I find him today that is.  "Mariaaa!!" yelled Alpha Lopez.  "Coming Alpha."  chimed my mother, "Duty calls dear, happy birthday i love you honey."  With a small kiss on my forehead she turned on her heels and left to work. 
       My mother works for our Alpha, she helps him with paper work and helps him arrange gatherings for our packs and pack all around the country.  She works so much that she kinda forgets about us, she always tried to make it up, but she would always get pulled away from us.  So my siblings went to drugs and crime and I went to books and my two best friends.  Anyways, back to my birthday. 
       "Monica, will you just come out of the bathroom already we want to see you." yelled Jackie from out side the door.  "Nooo, I look stupid." I groaned.  Brittney had brought me this super sexy red sweet heart neck lined, tight, short dress with an open back with black lace covering the opening.  I wouldn't dream of owning something like this, let alone wear something like it.  "How are we supposed to know what you look like if you won't come out and show us?"  Brittney asked impatiantly waiting.  "Ughh, fine.  I'll come out, but promise not to laugh, ok?"  In unison they both agreed with excitment. 
       I opened he door, my heart racing as if I ran twelve miles, I squeezed my eyes shut and took a deep breath and stepped out.  "OH MY GODD!!" they both yelled, "You look look amazing!!" I opened my eyes surprised at what they said, they shoved me to my full bodied mirror and I turned and I was shocked.  I just stood there making sure that was me because, I could not believe that it was.  "Oh my gosh. Brittney, you were so right! I love this dress!" I exclaimed, while i turned to hug her.   "Hey, I helped pick it out too!" yelled Jackie, getting a little jealous that Brittney had gotten all the credit.  "Thank you Jackie as well! You have both made my birthday great so far!" I embraced the two most amazing people that I knew in a heart felt hug and we made our way to school. 
       Later on I would come to find that Jackie and Brittney wouldn't be the only two most important people in my life.
