Chapter 1
I got up from my patch where I was sat and made my way back to the pack house. When I got back it seemed too quiet for a normal Saturday afternoon.
Frowning I got to the front door and walked inside. There was a massive crowd in the living room, but being only 5 foot 3 I couldn’t see over all the heads to see what was going on.
Sighing I pushed through all the people that were over spilling from the door way.
“Excuse me!” I muttered as I made my way through
“EXCUSE ME!” I shouted when they didn’t hear me
I got pushed from behind which sent me tumbling forward. Someone grabbed my arm before I could face plant the floor.
Looking up I noticed that Kai had been the one to stop me falling. I looked into his soft blue eyes.
“You alright?” he shouted over all the noise
I nodded and got steady on my feet. “What’s going on?” I shouted back
“I don’t know, I was just about to find out!” he answered
I nodded and watched him push his way through the crowd. Kai was my brother’s 3rd in command and with his blonde hair and gorgeous blue eyes he was a definite hit with the ladies.
My dad, Nate, handed down the Alpha title to Noah when he was 18, now 22 he was doing a great job as Alpha with his Alpha Female Ashleigh. I loved Ashleigh to bits; she was such a nice girl and the only girl that has ever treated me as a close friend. They haven’t got married yet but I bet it’s going to be anytime soon!
I smelled some of my mom, Lily’s, cooking coming down the hallway so I hungrily followed the scent towards the kitchen.
My mom had long blonde hair which she now had in a bun as she was stood over the stove baking cookies by the smell.
She turned when she heard me enter the kitchen “oh hi honey!” she said with a smile. Mom was always caring but she could never see past Seth, Saffron and Skye’s, my triplet brother and sisters, pranks and general nastiness.
“Hey mom!” I said with a genuine smile
“I bet you’re after my cookies!” she joked
“Me? Of course not!” I faked innocence
She rolled my eyes and handed me a cookie. I took a bit and the hot chocolately gooiness filled my taste buds.
“Mmm these are good mom!”
“Thank you! So what really brings you here?” she sat down opposite me with a cup of tea in her hands
“What’s going on in the living room?” I asked
“We’ve got a new pack member, some friend of Noah’s I think. Pretty yummy too” she winked at me. We heard a low growl come from somewhere down the hall, damn werewolf hearing “Oh hush Nate, you know you’re better looking in my eyes!” mom shouted down to my dad.
“Good!” we heard him shout back
I chuckled; it was always nice seeing my mom and dad so in love. I would say that I wanted that but I don’t think my mate would accept me after he hears about what I’ve been through.
“Mom?” I started
“Yes honey?”
“When do you think I will find my mate?” I asked
Her face softened. You’re supposed to find your mate when you’re 5, which mom did, but I haven’t yet so maybe mom will know roughly when so I can avoid him around that time.
“Well normally people find their mates before they’re 25 and it’s very rare for them to find them after that as the women are most fertile around that age” she explained
I blushed when my mom said the last bit as I was still embarrassed to talk about that stuff around anyone.
“Okay” I mumbled, faking it to make myself sound sad
“Don’t worry honey, you’ll find your mate soon, I promise” she placed her hand over mine
I sighed and carried on eating my cookie as mom turned back to do something else. I was on my second when I heard hurried footsteps coming down the stairs. I mentally groaned as I knew that it was going to be Seth, Saffron and Skye. They were at the annoying 14 year old stage which involved driving me crazy.
Skye and Saffron were identical with Seth looking similar but obviously manlier. They all had mom’s blonde hair and constantly reminded me that I was boring and different with my brown hair. Petty I know, but it gets to me. I get pushed out anyway but always reminding me of it just pushes my buttons.
“Hey mom!” they said all together. They do that a lot and it was kinda creepy.
“Hey kids!” mom said a turned back to the stove
Just as I was about to bit into my cookie, Skye came over and took it straight out of my hands and ate it all in one go. I sat there in shock.
“God Maisie, no need to eat so fast!” Skye sneered at me
Mom turned back around at that point “Maisie why don’t you go do some homework while I sort the triplets out” she thought she was trying to help but really she was just pushing me away more
I nodded and stood up silently with my head hanging.
“Oh Maisie, go check out the new guy because he is hawt!” Saffron said as her and Skye burst into a fit of girly giggles.
“Girls! He’s ten years older then you!” Mom exclaimed
I didn’t hear their reply as I exited the room quickly and ran up to my room.
I had to get away quickly as a sudden spurt of anger came over me when I heard Saffron say the new guy was hot. My wolf was pacing like she wanted to hurt Saffron for saying it.
What is wrong with me? I haven’t even met the guy yet and I’m getting jealous already! I have a bad feeling about this...
