Normal. That's how Spencer Taylor liked to describe herself. She's one of the most popular and pretty girls at her school. The head cheerleader on the arm of the star football player.
But she's the daughter of Alpha John Taylor. The alpha of the la...

I looked in the mirror one last time. I messed with some of my curls before sliding down my fawn mask so it covered the upper half of my face.
I walked out of my room and down to the living room where my siblings were all waiting. Two rabbits, a butterfly, an owl, and a lion.
The twins looked at me and I could help but laugh at the long ears on their masks. "Why isn't Bee a Butterfly and not a bee?" Justin asked. "Oh shut up" was as Beatrix said in response.
Skylar chuckled as she fixed Max's tie. "You two looked great" both of their animals stranded for intelligence and l liberty. Perfection the next alpha and Luna.
My parents, on the other hand, were dressed as bears. Our protective papa and mama bears. Warriors, just like they raised us to be.
"We should get going," Alonzo said, ready to see his mate.
When we arrived at the packhouse it had already started so we just headed in like we were normal wolves. "We're going dancing," Skylar said not giving Max a choice, she dragged him onto the dance floor before he could say no.
I looked through the crowd searching for anyone familiar. Lots of people were dressed as wolves, typical.
"Rouges, stay calm" my dad linked us. I looked to Alonzo and linked arms with him and Justin. Beatrix was already with our parents where they were greeting people.
"Alpha Carter" I heard someone say. I looked in the direction, so did my brothers.
Carter was wearing a black tux and a fox mask. His hair was a mess and his facial hair was now just stubble.
Marley was at his side wearing a blue dress and a blue jay mask. His men were all wearing black suits and wolf masks. Real original.
"The beautiful fawn escorted by her forest companions," a man said as he approached my brothers and me.
He grabbed my hand and kissed it as he fell into a bow. He looked up at me and his red eyes met mine. I pulled my hand away and took a step back.
Vampire.
"Your quite beautiful, no wonder Alonzo is following you around like you hold his leash," he said. "Stay away from her" Alonzo growled as he stepped between us. "I don't quite like the decorations, I feel like her blood would be better on the walls," he said as he grabbed Alonzo by the neck.
"Get your hands off me" Alonzo growled trying to keep his voice down. The vampire looked him up and down before looking to the side. "This isn't over," he said when he saw Justin approaching us with drinks.
"Who was that?" Justin asked as he wanted me a glass of some sort of alcohol. "No thank you," I said, Justin quickly downed it.
"Nobody" Alonzo lied as he looked at me, seeing if I would keep his secret. I would.
"Will you be my wings?" Justin asked and we agreed. I kept ahold of my dress as I moved through the crowd.
For about half an hour I talked Justin up to a group of girls, but eventually, I needed a break so I headed out into the hallway. My feet were already killing me, I don't wear heels often.
I slipped them off as I walked into the hallway with Lonnie at my side.
"I want you to stay clear of him, he's dangerous" I heard my mate say from the hall.
"He's my mate" Marly whimpered.
"And I'm your alpha" Carter growled.
"The Rivers May have taken him in but he's still a rouge. Once a rouge always a rouge, he will never change. He's wrong for you, and I won't let him ruin you like he will ruin their pack" Carter said, he was obvious to the fact we were standing here.
I grabbed Alonzo's arm and dragged him back into the ballroom. "Spencer" my dad growled when he saw me. "Alpha Carter is your mate!" He yelled through the link. "I'm dead," I told Lonnie.
"Why?" He asked. I let go of him and turned back towards the hallway. I took off my heels as I heard the Greenwoods talking down the hallway still.
"What the hell were you thinking? You didn't even bother to tell me, to consult me about this!" My dad yelled making the hallway go silent. "Dad stop" Max yelled as he walked into the hallway.
"Sorry I didn't realize I was one of your warriors. I didn't realize I had to get your permission to make my own decisions!" I yelled as I ripped off my mask.
"What's going on?" Alonzo asked as Max and him walked out.
"I didn't tell you because I knew this was how you would react. It's how you react to everything that has to do with me!" I yelled as I threw my mask on the floor.
"I'm sick and tired of it! I'm sick of you not listening to me! You listen to my brother so why not me? You just start accusing me, like I had any choice in this!" I yelled. I turned my back on him and started walking away.
"You can't be a Taylor and have him as a mate" my father growled. He was making me pick, fine.
"Spencer Renae Taylor don't you turn your back on me" he growled. "Dad stop," Justin said, "just calm down," Max said. I kept walking. I grabbed the bottom of my skirt and walked down the long hallway that leads to the exit.
I kept my emotions at bay until I was out of my dad's view. "Spencer!" My father yelled in his alpha voice.
I was approaching the Greenwoods but I planned to just ignore them, that was till Carter stepped into my path.
"Come with me," he said as he looked me in the eyes. "It seems like you need somewhere to stay, and I want you somewhere safe," Carter said as he held onto my hand. "Okay," I said my voice cracking.
Carter and I headed out to his car as the others in his group stayed at the party. I set my mask and heels in the back of his truck. "Can we stop and get some things?" I asked him and he nodded. He took off his fox mask and started driving.
I gave him directions to the alpha house and asked him to come in with me when we got there.
"So you're the Alphas daughter," he said as we walked into my bedroom. "His oldest daughter," I said as I grabbed the two biggest bags I had in my closet out. I opened them up and threw my clothes in them. I grabbed the stuff from my bathroom and then poured out my underwear and bras into a bag.
I took a few pairs of shoes out then I was done. I managed to fit it all into two suitcases, I don't know how but I did.
I started rolling them towards my door but Carter stopped me. He threw them in the back of his car and we were off.
I was going to be staying with my mate. Was this a good idea?
