The Young Mate

Christal McCade

"No Jamie" I laugh as me and my best friends enter my house.

It's the second biggest in our pack since my dad is the Beta, the Alpha has the biggest house, obviously.

"Dad?!" I call out for my dad to see if James and Cami can sleepover.

My dad comes out of the kitchen, a spoon in his mouth and Nutella on his nose.

I smile widely at the picture in front of my and point at my own nose.

He wipes his nose with the back of his hand and pulls the spoon out of his mouth that obviously once had Nutella on it once.

"Hey Pumpkin, whats up?" My dad asks me and hugs me.

"Can James and Cami stay the night tonight?" I ask and he's quiet for a second.

We pull apart from the hug and he shrugs.

"Sure, I don't care. It is the weekend after all."

"Thank you!" I smile and hug him again before going off with James and Cami.

"Oh Christal?" My dad says again. I turn on the stairs and look down to see him at the bottom.

"Yeah?"

"We have a dinner with Alpha Max and The Black Bloods Alpha tomorrow"

My mouth falls open as I look down at my dad.

The Black Bloods?

Why would they come to our territory?!

"Wh-why is Alpha Fortier coming to o-our pack" I stutter in nervously.

Alpha Fortier is notorious for killing anyone who gets on his nerves. He's the most feared Alpha in North and South America and no one dares to challenge him.

"Alpha Max and Alpha Fortier are in a business deal that will benefit both our packs. It's very crucial that we are all on our best behavior, especially you Christal."

I huff and scuff my foot on the wooden platform.

"Dad do I have to go"

"Yes. The Families of the Alphas and Betas have to go." He pauses for a seconds and gives me a stern look. "Don't argue with me on this"

I take a deep breath and nod before waiting to be dismissed.

"You can go now" He tells me.

I start my way back to my room and see James and Cami laying on my bed, staring at their phones.

James has been my best friend since birth. He's three months older then me and has brown hair and hazel eyes. He's 6'1 and is in basically ever sport you can name beside Archery and Gymnastics. He's even in Cheer with me at school, he's one of my bases.

Cami is also older me by a month and nine days. She was born on New Years with her twin brother Jacob who always hits on me but I never pay attention to him. Cami is a flyer in cheer along with me. I tumble for it also but she doesn't. She's an inch or two taller then me, making her 5'6-5'7. She has Blonde hair that reaches her shoulders and deep blue eyes.

I have Jet Black hair and emerald green eyes. I'm in Archery, Cheerleading (competitive). I'm 5'5 and weigh 108 pounds, which 'scares' Cami and James for some reason. It's not un-normal for me to be so small because for as long as I can remember I've always been smaller then everyone else.

Meaning, a really small waist and flat stomach (I'm not complaining) but then I have a small-medium butt and not very big boobs, but then again I'm not complaining. My thighs are thick but not too thick and my facial features are sharp. I have a 'cute' nose according to my mom and dad.
