This is just a teaser to let you guys know what it will look like at the end, please tell me what you think and i apologise if some people dislike it but I am satisfied with the character developement and in the newer rewrite there is more on the father so the pain of losing him is more than a little sting. :P
I stalked through the grass, a small hare lay in the clearing, I licked my lips, my mouth watering. I steadied my heartbeat, preparing to spring. A sudden howl came from my right. The hare Looked up startled then hopped away. I swore and shifted. I looked behind me a wolf stood there, studying me. I blushed, staring as the male assessed my naked body. I shifted back quickly, and growled at the male. He cowered away showing he did not wish to fight. I held my head high then violently shook. He stood, delighted. He came closer sniffing me over.
I stood stock still, nervous of who this stunning young male was. He looked into my eyes, his dark blue eyes made me feel faint. I breathed in his scent lathered with oak. He licked my cheek. I recoiled biting his neck. He slinked back, scared of me. I stood Shaking violently in anger. His Beautiful gold coat was covered in dust, from when he hit the forests floor.
I carefully watched him, He turned and ran from me. I smirked to myself. My mother always said, 'You are too strong for your own good little one, be gentle to others, or your mate will never live long enough to meet you' I laughed I did not wish to meet my mate. I was alpha and I had a pack to protect. I walked home bummed out by another failure.

I walked through the door to be greeted by my mother sitting at the kitchen table. She had her brows furrowed and looked really annoyed at me, She gestured towards the chair across from her and I hesitantly sat down. That was when she erupted like a once dormant Volcano. "Where the heck did you go! When did you ask to go out, Did you hurt anyone?!" She continued to rant on and on as I hung my head in shame. She was right I was wrong that was how this worked. I knew what was next but even that knowledge didn't lesson the blow that stung my cheek. The slap that my mother had delivered hurt like mad and I had to fight back tears. "I.. I'm sorry Mum... I, I was really not trying to make you mad," I broke into gentle sobs as I rubbed at my sore cheek, it was red and painful and I had acquired a cut inside my blood pooling into my mouth. She settled down considerably then flomped onto her chair. "what am I meant to do with you, you just don't want to stay inside," She let out an overly exaggerated sigh.
"I'm an Alpha Werewolf Mum, I can't possibly just sit here and listen to you talk about stocks and stuff, I need to run and be free. Just wait a while," I made it sound so easy but even I knew how hard I was to handle on my off days. She shook her head obviously sharing my latter thought. Just then the creaking of the door could be heard and my father walked in the house his work case dragging along the floor as he climbed the final step. Mother sprang to her feet and helped him fall into his large recliner chair.
She started chatting with him quietly, I took this as my chance and began to ascend the stairs to my room. As my door clicked closed I could hear my mother yelling incoherent words at me. I knew that they were important but I wasn't bothered enough to check up on what exactly it was that she had said. She was always mad at me these days and it obviously had something to do with my dad's injury and my laziness. A few years ago during a war my father was injured in battle, even though we won he was deemed unable to commence on the war torn path and forced to sit inside the office from sun up to sun down.
Mother wanted me to take over the responsibility of alpha but I was only just turning sixteen and I was female, which means the pack would hate me. They would deem me weak and it would be impossible to control them. They already made fun of me for being home schooled. When I was little many horrible people had tried to kidnap me for ransom and this made both my over protective parents go insane. They banned me from going outside for a whole year because of that and now at my tender age of fifteen and a half I was becoming rebellious.
I couldn't think straight most of the time and yes I did a lot of stupid things because of it. But I knew that I couldn't just blame hormones and my brain my conscious was in this too. I laughed under my breath, I sounded like an Alpha giving encouragement to their warriors, except mine were in my head. Pulling my laptop to my bed I got snuggled in the sheets and started looking at files Dad had told me to look over and proof read. I only did it when I was overly bored but some of them were really cool, like one was even about forming a peace treaty with the Far thorn Pack. The strongest pack in the world! Our pack was second strongest but we were hardly ever noticed because of how peaceful and friendly we are, dad had a soft spot for others and he was admired for that.
I carefully read through the different points that dad bought up in his treaty and I couldn't help but nod along. Not long ago I heard that the Alpha's daughter had found her mate and that they were currently going to school together, I had also heard that the Heir to the pack had refused the responsibility and instead offered it to his younger sister and her mate. The only sad part in their story was that Both the previous Alpha and Luna had died in a tragic fire, burning down their entire pack house and injuring a lot of their pack, the only two who died were the Mated couple and dad had obviously wanted to watch the young children and see how they cope with or without him.
There was a soft tap on my door and I looked up momentarily. "Come in," It opened slowly and I began to get impatient. I plopped the laptop on my bedside table and sat up a little straighter. My mum stood at the door and she looked rather crestfallen, She threw a small paper at my bed and gave me a small smile. "you leave on Sunday, be packed," Her sobs broke he sentence and I twitched, not much made her cry. "What are you talking about Mother?" Her eyes burned with flames as she gave me a hard glare, she hated being called Mother because it sounded so merciless and devoid of love towards her. "You are going to school," With that she slammed the door with a 'smash' and ran down the stair to cry in dads lap.
I didn't know whether to get mad or throw a party. School! I was being allowed into the world once more, after five years of being treated like a protected child I would finally be able to see the world once more, adventure, games and Love. I had a chance of finding my one and only mate. My heart swirled at the thought. My mate the love who would never ever hurt me, we would have beautiful pups and he would be my prince in shining armour as the fairy tales say.
The thought of my mate was on my tongue even once I had laid comfortably in the covers and fell into a long and unbroken sleep.
So please tell me what your thoughts are and i apolgise if this appears short, i didn't quite notice that till now because im writing this on a program called onenote and it doesnt give you a word count haha.
