My Second Chance at Happiness

Chapter 1

"Honey, it's time for breakfast!" My mom called from downstairs.

"Im coming!" I yelled.

I relunctantly rolled out of bed and threw on a pair of pants and a t-shirt. Slowly walked down the stairs, not really ready for the day. I saw the rest of my family was already seated and waiting for me to come down and eat with them.

"Goodmorning everyone." I said sleepily, while I sat down in my seat.

The only one that replied were my mom and my little brother. My dad and sister just ignored me and started to eat.

"The Alpha King will be coming today. Have you prepared what you are going to say and what you are going to wear?" My dad asked my sister.

I just rolled my eyes, knowing that this is what she has been preparing for her whole life.

"Yes, of course dad." My sister replied, with enthusiasm.

After that breakfast was relatively silent, only with the occasional conversation. Soon breakfast ended and my dad told us we all needed to get ready for the day. I got up from my chair ready to go upstairs and lock myself in my room.

"Allison, don't forget to change into something more... presentable. You don't want to look like an embarrassment." My father said sternly without giving me a second glance.

I nodded my head though I knew he was no longer looking. I glanced over at my mom and seeing her give me a sympathetic smile. I finally got to my room and changed into a royal blue dress that stopped mid thigh and put on some gold high heels. I went into the bathroom and straightened my hair because it was wavy. I finished with some light lip gloss when I heard my brother come in.

"Ally?" I could hear him faintly ask.

"Ya, im here." I said while I walked out of the bathroom and saw my brother walking into my room.

"Can I ask you a question?" He asked shyly.

"Yes, of course, you can ask me anything." I answered curiously.

"Why is everyone acting so strange about the Alpha King coming to visit?" He asked.

He's only seven, so he doesn't truly understands the whole royalty situation.

"Lets just say he's a very important man and has a lot of power, ok?" I answered, knowing thats the simplest way he'll understand.

He nodded his head, processing the information.

"Ok now Daniel you better go get dressed before daddy comes in and sees you." I tell him sternly.

He hurriedly walks out with a quick goodbye leaving me alone. I can hear my dad walking out the door probably going to see the Alpha. I quickly get up and go outside so I can take a quick walk in the woods to clear my head.

Once I start walking my thoughts start to drift to my mate. I am now 18, 2 years after we can recognize our mates. I remeber my 16th birthday well. My dad held a small party in the pack, which was more of a status thing then an actual party. I was so excited that I would finally be able to meet my mate. I remember it being exactly 6:38 pm when I first felt the pain. It was like my soul had been ripped in half. I collapsed holding the ground wondering what was wrong. I noticed many have stopped to see what was wrong. I curiously looked at my mom and I will never forget the pity in her eyes when she told me."Your mate is dead."

So comsumed in my thoughts I didnt realize when I accidently ran into someone hard. I bounced back and braced for the impact, but was quickly caught before I could hit the ground.

"I am so sorry, I wasnt watching..." my boice trailed off as I looked into the most beautiful blue eyes I have ever seen. He had jet black hair with electrifying blue eyes and towered over me with his figure of about 6"2.

"Thats ok, I wasn"t really watching where I was going either." He responded shaking me out of my daze.

"Well in that case, i'm Allison, but everyone calls me Ally." I said kindly, while sticking put my hand to shake his.

"Hi, Allison i'm Cody." He replied sweetly while taking my hand in a firm grip. I could've sworn I felt tingles going through my body, but the feeling was gone too quick once he pulled his hand away.

We both found out we were going to the pack house and decided to walk together. We made easy conversation that felt so natural, it made me feel a little sad once I saw the pack house coming into view. I saw my dad and the Alpha waiting for us and staring at me which I didnt understand why. I soon realized it wasnt me they were staring at, but Cody.

"Hello Alpha Cody, welcome to my pack." The alpha said and I looked at Cody putting the pieces together.

He was the Alpha King.
