We Are One

Chapter 1

I'm Emma Gray Jones. I'm 19 and a werewolf. My dad is alpha.

I'm a bit different from most other weres. I have a strong belief in being classy. And my favorite pass time is getting lost in a book.

I'm out of high school and I don't plan on going to college. I should be able to fully depend on my mate, if I ever find him. I've always dreamed of my mate. My favorite game was wedding as a child.

I'm short, 5'4. And I have long brown wavy hair with matching brown eyes. I'm skinny too, I've always loved my weight. But I have very small boobs and butt. Unlike most girls I believe in loving your self, including your imperfections.

I have an older brother and that's it. He is like my best friend. He is always there for me and I love him more than anything. I'm also very close with my parents. We are all close, it's just how we were raised.

I can't wait to find my mate. I want to love somebody and for them to love me. I want to care for somebody.

Enough about me, I'm supposed to be going to meet my daddy in a second.

I rushed down to his office and knocked.

"Come in." he said and I entered

"Daddy! I'm here! What ya need?" I asked

"The ball is tomorrow and I just wanted to make sure you had everything. And I wanted your opinion on something." he said and I sat in his lap

"I have everything. Quinn and I are going to pick up our dresses tomorrow when we go get our hair done." I said

"Good. So I was thinking about proposing to your mother again. Do you think tomorrow would be good? romantic enough?" he asked

"Oh daddy!! That's perfect!! Mom will love it!" I said

"You think so?" he asked

"Oh course! That's really romantic dad." I said

"Good. Now go on I have work to do." he smiled

"Yes daddy." I said and kissed him on the cheek

I'm sure you're wondering 'what ball? aren't balls a bit out of date?' well no. We do them all the time. And this one we are throwing for all the unmated werewolves. All the unmated one all come together and hopefully find their mate.

"Emma!! Wait up!" I heard my best friend Quinn shout

"What you want Q?" I asked

"We are going out to the beach. And you're coming." she said

"I hate the beach." I groaned

"I. Don't. Care." she said

"Fine I'll meet you there." I said

"No I need you to give me a ride." she laughed

"Ugh fine. Ill be ready in a second." I said and went up to my room

I really don't like the beach. One, because I burn really easily. Two, because it's all sandy and nasty. For some reason everyone loves beaches.

I put on my navy blue and white polka dot, one piece halter top. It's my favorite Bathing suit. Then I put on my kaki shorts and a white, light button up top. I went ahead and put on sun screen, to be on the safe side. Next, I put my hair in to a side pony tale and put on my white floppy beach hat.

"Any day now Em!" Quinn shouted

"Hold on!" I yelled back

Then I put on my navy blue bow sandals and grabbed my Victoria secret beach bag. I put my book, a towel, sunscreen, my wallet, and an extra pair of sun glasses.

"Now I am ready." I said and walked down the stairs

"About time princess." she huffed

My nickname to just about everyone is princess. Why? Because I'm a princess of course.

We hopped in my 1969 black mustang. it was my graduation gift. It is my baby.

"If I see any sand in Eugene I will kill you." I said on my way to the beach

"I promise I will not get any sand in Eugene." she said

"Good."

We live about 5 minutes from the beach. So in no time we were already there. My dad owned beach from property so that's were we always go.

I grabbed my umbrella and chair out the trunk and started walking to our spot.

A bunch of the other pack kids were there playing volleyball.

I set up as far away from them as possible. I had a pretty big umbrella so I stuck it in the ground and put my chair under it.

I applied sunscreen once again then put my sunglasses on.

"Not going to join Princess?" Kennedy, my gay guy friend asked

"Nope." I said and got out my book

I got comfortable and started reading The Fault in our Stars by John Green. It's my second time reading it. John Green is just such an amazing writer.

"Emma!!" Q yelled

"What do you want?" I asked annoyed

Next thing I know my book is being ripped out of my hands and I'm being picked up!

"Put me down right now!" I yelled hitting Kennedy

"You need to stop reading so much!" he said and sat me down beside him

"I hate volleyball." I said trying to go back to my book

"Don't care. You're playing princess." he said

"No I am not."

"Yes you are."

"No I am not."

"Yes you are!"

"Do not tell me what I am doing. I am not playing. I'm going to read my book!" I huffed

"Come on Em. Just one game?" Drew, Kennedy's mate asked

"One game. Just one!" I said

"Yes!" Q yelled

So after we played one game I went back to reading, even though everyone about threw a fit wanting me to play.

After about an hour it was 6:30 and I was hungry.

"I'm hungry." I said

"It is getting late. Lets go get some food." Drew said

"Yea! Let's do it! McDonalds?" Quinn asked

"I'm in." I said

"Us too." Kennedy said

"Ok come on! And remember Quinn, if there is any sand in Eugene I will kill you." I said packing my stuff up

"I won't get any sand in your car." she said

"ok" I said

We went back to my car and got all the sand off us. Living in California has it's perks, but one of them is not the beach. It's just so much sand!

We went to McDonalds and ate. Them we went home. As soon as we got home I got a shower, wanting to get the beach off me.

After that I went to bed. Tomorrow was a big day.
