My Nasty Mate

Chapter 1 : A toast to Jackson.

It might seem crazy what I'm 'bout to say
Sunshine she's here, you can take a break
I'm a hot air balloon that could go to space
With the air, like I don't care baby by the way
Huh, because I'm happy....

“Wake up sleepyhead “my brother Justin said, whisking my arm softly. As I open my eyes I move out of my trance and stop the music from playing into the hard reality as my father pull over into the driveway of our new house in this forest, well not literally but this place is no less than a forest. Wish I’d be as happy as Pharrell.

Who would think of moving to remotely accessible place in the middle of United States from a flourishing Romantic city like Florida? Well, let me guess us. As I open my gate and move out in the dreading snow I’m constantly reminded how much I love the salty air kissing my hair ,my feet crushing in the smooth sand by the beach and collecting little treasure that lies in one of the bags I have packed. We would have been living in Florida only if weren’t for the recent changes in Justin’s body. Why god why .....

We are here in Jackson, by the name of this town it sounds more like a person than a town. All I know about this town is the little knowledge I was determined to acquire by reading a few starting lines of Wikipedia which claims “Jackson is a town in the Jackson Hole valley of Teton Country, Wyoming, United States. The population was 9,577 at the 2010 census. It is the Country seat of Teton County and is its largest town.” Other thing that I know is all thanks to my father’s proud chattering about his home town, out of these nine thousand people five thousand belongs to my father’s kind i.e werewolves. And the population had been increasing after the New Alpha came into power back  in 2010. The Alpha of Snowmoon pack , I’d say very creative name hadn’t it be so obvious that this area is surrounded my snow most of the year and moon is very important to the existence of werewolves.

I would have been happier like my father and brother but I empathise with my mother. My mother is a human unlike my father. It’s rare to see werewolves having human mates but it’s not impossible. My mother came to visit her grandparents in this town when she met my father. And as it’s difficult for wolves more than humans to live without their mate, my father followed my mother like a stalker back to Florida.
What happened next? Well in normal circumstances my mother should have called 911 but the natural pull she felt towards my father didn’t let her use her brains and what followed next is the story for next time. Just remember that the end was good as we are the fruit of there very pleasurable labour.

“Rachel, help me move these bags” said Justin.

“ Help me move my life “ I retorted

“Can you stop being nasty?”my father asked

“Yes, when this place can stop being nasty” I said scrunching up my nose.

“Well I like it, The kitchen has the most modern equipment. Ah! My workload will be less now “my mother said sighing with relieve

“Wow mom! Is kitchen all that matters to you?” I asked with obvious frustration in my tone

“As a matter of fact, Yes! None of you helps me, mostly busy with your training"She said like stating a fact which we all are guilty of.

I sighed deeply and walked upstairs to see three rooms and a bathroom. I checked them all and decided to win the battle of rooms this time.

“Daaaad.....”I went downstairs calling as sweetly as I could manage.

What feels like eternity I finally managed to get myself the biggest room with attached bathroom and a big window. Well, now I have a reading spot for myself.
With a cup of coffee and book I drifted into the fictional realm of happiness before retiring for the night. Let’s have peace since tomorrow will definitely be a happening day given to the new school life in the Town of Jackson.
