I open my eyes lazily to the sun lighting up my room causing me to groan in annoyance. I'd much rather have it dark in my room. I push my very comfortable white covers off of me and walk towards my curtain closing them as the room goes dark.

I sigh then go to turn on my light and walk towards my closet grabbing some skinny jeans, black vans, and a grey hoodie. I strip out of pajamas which is just a long T-shirt that happens to be my older brother Evans and then I change into my clothes I'll be wearing for today.

After I'm done getting ready I quickly run into my bathroom and wash my face and brush my teeth.

I look in the mirror and stare at my dark blue eyes and long wavy brown hair wondering why people think I'm a such freak. To me I looked normal, but to everyone else I was weird and useless. The whole pack have always tormented me and I never understood why. I guess I was just one of the unlucky ones.

"Adelaide breakfast is ready sis, by the way happy birthday." My brother Evans knocks me out of my thoughts.

I stare at him with wide eyes. Today is my birthday. I'm sixteen which means I'm going to shift into my wolf for the first time and possibly find out who my mate is today. Oh my fucking shit! I fucking forgot!

"You forgot didn't you?" He says with a raised eyebrow and a small smirk.

I stare blankly at my brothers beautiful face that I was so jealous of and just nod my head running my hand through my hair frustrated taking a seat on the end of my bed and Evans takes a seat next to me.

"Don't worry everyone from the pack will be here when the full moon comes up and watch you transition, hopefully you'll find your mate before then so he can help you through the transition. It'd be less painful for you to go through with your mate there right next to you." My brother says giving my hand a warm squeeze.

I can tell he was a bit sad, he was thinking about his mate. She died last year in a rouge attack and he's been broken ever since.

"What if I don't find my mate before then." I ask with a shaky voice.

"I'll be there right next to you and the whole pack, but I'm sure you'll find him love." He says softly and pulls me into a hug.

"What if he rejects me." I mumble into his chest and he shushes me.

"Let's go and eat breakfast Addy." He says and pulls my hand softly and we both walk out my room downstairs to the kitchen where our parents waited for us at the table with smiles wishing me a happy birthday.

"Oh my god! You're going to find your mate today sweetie! I'm so excited Adelaide, you're going to be a beautiful wolf I just know it! Aren't you excited? I'm excited-" I cut my mother off.

"May I be excused?" I ask with a blank face.

Moms smile then turns into a frown and I instantly regret opening my mouth. I just couldn't stand hearing her talk about my mate and my transition like if everything is going to turn out perfect just like everyone else's. But, I felt it in my heart that this wasn't going to be like everyone else's. I know something bad was going to happen today, like I said I'm unlucky.

"Yes love you can go." My dad tells me with a warm fake smile giving my mom a warm squeeze holding her hand in his as she stares at me confused. My mother never understood me like my father did, and I was so happy I had such an amazing understanding father.

Note the sarcasm, he's only pretending to be like this so I don't spill his dirty secret.

"Want a ride to school with me Addy?" Evans asks me getting up from his seat and following me out of the house.

"Yeah sure." I tell him quietly and follow him to his black shiny jeep getting into the passenger seat.

I started to mind link with my wolf as we passed by trees and houses on our way to school hell where my mate may be at right now.

My wolfs name is Forest. She's very different from me and honestly it scares me. She doesn't care about anything, she doesn't care what people think of us, and she wouldn't think twice before snapping someone's neck who decides to get on our bad side. I wouldn't hurt someone though, I always managed to hold her back but one time she came out and taken over and made me look like a monster. I wasn't angry with her about it though. People in my pack would hit me and leave me unconscious in the woods, they would throw food at me in school. Basically just treat me like a useless piece of shit, they still do but it isn't as bad as it was before my wolf took over my body and beat some guy to a pulp. Yeah, a guy! Forest beat up a guy and after that happened I stopped getting the beatings. Now, people just call me mean names or give me deathly glares which I have no fucking clue why. I was only defending myself.

"What if we don't find our mate Forest, we're going to go through so much pain without him." I tell her through mind link.

"We'll find him. He has to be around the school somewhere. Don't worry Addy." Forests soft voice calms me but I was still worrying like crazy.

"What if he rejects us." I say in a whisper.

"He won't." Forest says sounding worried herself.

Forest always talked about this day, she's always been so excited about finding someone who will finally understand us. But most importantly she wanted to know what love felt like. We knew what it looked like by looking at Evans and his mate when she was alive. But, we didn't know what if felt like. I've never been really excited about this day, I've been more worried that we won't be wanted by the person we were destined to be with.

"We're here."
