The Night Children

Part 1

Hey guys! Don't forget to leave some comments to tell me what you think and vote if you like! Keep in mind that although I'm bilingual english is not my mother tongue and it's the first time that I write a complete story in this language. It won't be perfect but I hope you enjoy it!

I'm not really mad.

I just want to break things, that happens every once in a while.

I lift my leg, my foot slams the dummy in front of me and the poor thing shatters.

"Dammit Gabi, do you know how many dummies we've bought just THIS WEEK?"

I turn around and wipe the sweat on my forehead at the same time. I barely glare at Esteban before I stride to the other side of the room to grab a bottle of water.

"I don't see the point of having them if we can't crush them", I mutter.

Esteban sighs.

"I guess I'll just buy a few others."

"Why are you here anyway, I thought you and the alpha were at East Lake."

"Your DAD went with Ty, I'm on border duty."

"You mean you're on Gabi duty," I snort. Dad had an important meeting there, one he refused to talk about although everyone but me seemed to know the reason that meeting was super important -hence the broken dummy-. I shouldn't be surprised that he left Esteban here with me. His beta has his full trust, and he looks after me when dad goes somewhere he might not come back from.

"Gabi? You're in your head again."

"When is the babysitting thing gonna stop? I mean it's not like I'm 22. I'm old enough to drive, drink, fu..."

"Okay okay!" He raises his hands and I see him frown. He doesn't like me using the F word.

I don't either, especially since I never actually did it. But nobody needs to know that. I had a few boyfriends, but they were all trying to get in my pants to get close to my dad the Almighty Alpha of the Eastern territory. My dad has a reputation, and many wolves in the territory came around to see if they could be my mate, because that would be a huge perk, for them. I don't need anyone. I can fight, I can kill with my bare hands, I can light a fire in the middle of a forest, I can cook, in short I can do everything.

"Gabi?"

"WHAT?"

He sighs again and I return his stare until Malia, his mate, comes inside.

"Kids?"

Esteban grins and turns around to greet her.

She calls me kid all the time, although she's barely seven years older than me. She calls him kid too, because he's one year younger than she is. Everybody's always teasing him about it but he doesn't really give a shit. Once you find your mate, nothing else matters, or so they say.

"Ty called, they arrived on location and the meeting starts in ten. We should expect news by noon," she says while looking at the broken dummy. "Oh and Mike is here."

"What? Again?"

Mike is my stalker. He's 23, built like a carpenter and has long,shiny dark hair. He says he wants to marry me but my wolf and I are not really on board. My dad told him several times to back off, not to rescue me, but because Mike's father is one of the weakest wolf in the pack. And the Alpha's daughter cannot marry such a male's son. My inner monologue is interrupted by Esteban.
