My Big Bad Alpha

Chapter One

"So your party isn't until around 7ish on Saturday so that gives you plenty of time to get ready right?" My mom asked as I looked around at the dresses. "Yea that's good for me Mel is gonna stay the night tomorrow so she can help me." I told her picking one up. It was white, which went with tradition, it was strapless and sparkly. Not the one. I would change for the first time on my birthday and it was tradition that you wear white so here I was two days before my birthday looking for my dress. "Oooo, what about this one?" Mom said showing it to me. It was long, going all the way to the floor, a really flowy material, it had straps that went into a deep v- neck. It was perfect. I smiled and took it from her. "This is it." I told her. I squealed in excitement. I had been waiting my whole life for my 18th birthday, it was going to change my life forever. I would not only change for the first time but I would also be able to find my mate. A mate is basically your other half, the person your supposed to be with. Tons of packs from all around were coming in hopes of finding him. "Do you want to try it on?" Mom questioned. I shook my head no. "I already know its going to be perfect." "Well then I guess were ready." We went and checked out throwing in the cutest pair of earrings that were at the counter. I texted my best friend Melanie and told her to meet me at the pack house so I could show her my dress. I couldn't stop smiling, my birthday was going to be the best.

"Alpha, the Redwood pack has asked us to come for a party. Something about the Betas daughter's birthday, they want a lot of people there in search of her mate." My Third In Command Cody came into my office saying,  I was doing pack paper work. "When?" I said curtly. "It's Saturday." If it was that soon we would have to leave tomorrow. I sighed I really hated doing this kind if thing, sure they could go without me but that wasn't a very wise thing to do with the distance they would travel. I ran a hand through my hair, "Alright. Tell everyone what's going on. We'll leave tomorrow afternoon." I replied. He nodded and left. I wonder how old the girl is, I thought to myself. I was also in search of my mate, at 26 years old you think I would have found her by now but no luck. The pack thought it made me an asshole. And I guess in a way it did, I was ready to find her to have some one rule with me, the longer an Alpha goes without his mate the harder it is for him to control himself. An uncontrollable Alpha was not a good thing, and I was starting to get that way. My Beta Luke had tried to convince me to just pick someone from the pack to make Luna but I wouldn't dream of giving up on my mate, I can control myself until I find her I'm determined.

"Alright so how do you want to do your hair tomorrow?" Melanie asked as we sat on my bed Friday night.  "I think like some thick curls, my dress is long so it definitely needs to be down and you know how my hair is when I leave it straight down." I replied. She laughed, "A frizzy mess?" I was jealous she had perfectly straight hair that was so glossy it was ridiculous. I stuck my tounge out at her, "At least mine will curl." I shot back. We laughed. Melanie was my absolute best friend and had been practically my whole life. We were more like sisters than friends. Growing up we had been attached at the hip there wasn't one thing we did without the other somewhere close by."One last topic for discussion." Mel said closing the magazine she was looking at. I looked at her confused and almost concerned, I didn't want anything to go wrong and we'd talked about everything. She grinned, "Your mate duh!" I smiled. "I'm not even sure I'll find him tomorrow, I mean I might not find him for years." I said truthfully. Even thinking that made my heart hurt but I needed to remember that it was a likely possibility. "But you might! I mean your dad has packs from all over the country coming just for your party. Even the Blackstone pack is coming." The Blackstone pack were pretty much the toughest pack around, their Alpha was known to be an ass. It honestly worried me a little that they would be here, I didn't want anything to go wrong. "I know Mel, but I mean I don't want to get my hopes up and not find him ya know?" I explained. My mom didn't even find my dad until she was 20. Yea I'm just so excited for you!" She squealed. She'd turned 18 a few months ago and was on the hunt for her own mate. I laughed, "Well thanks. We should probably get some sleep. Big day and all." I said smiling. She giggled and got up to shut off the lights. "Night Abs." She said before laying down. "Night Mel."
