****************************************************************************

It was quiet when I first woke up. Nothing was different about my room. No birthday ballons, nobody in there to throw confetti at me. I was completely alone. Finally, after 18 years of being alive, they finally understand how I've always wanted to wake up on my birthday. Peacefully with nothing extravagant in my room waking me up or waiting for me to wake up. Last year, there were 17 pack members that I had inspired that told me how I helped them once I woke up. I yelled at them immediately after the last one was done and made one of the boys cry. I felt bad, but I really don't take people intruding my personal space and room, especially in the morning.

I decided to change into some jean shorts and a cute top that says "Flawless: I woke up like this". Once I put my contacts on and brush my teeth, I make my way to the kitchen. Surprisingly, nobody is in there either. Now this made me sad, usually, my father and mother had breakfast with me on my birthday. It was the only thing that made my brithday morning good. Then, something catches my eye. I walk over to the giant stack of chocolate chip pancakes that are on the counter. There is a note with my name on it right next to it. I pick up the note and began to read:

My dearest daughter,

Your father and I are so sorry that we cannot do the usually birthday breakfast with you this year. You may have also noticed that there was nothing elaborate waiting in your room this year. We wanted to do something like we do every year, but since the ceremony of the alpha title happens tonight, we needed everyone in the pack to help set up. I'm probably in the pack shed looking for the bowl or washing the old thing with a hose as your reading this. I woke up at 5:30, an hour before everyone else, just to make you all of these pancakes. This way, you could at least have the usual chocolate chip pancakes I make you on your birthday. Trevor should be around the house and he'll help you throughout the day to get you ready. I know about the whole mate thing and don't worry, I'm on your side. But I'm sorry to say that I couldn't convince your father to change his mind. I honestly feel your pain sweetie, just remember that you'll always have my support. Oh and your dress for tonight is absoulutely gorgeous! I just know that you're gonna love it! I love you!

Lots of Love,

Your Mom

I sighed once I finsihed reading the whole thing. I guess that means that if I don't find my mate by the end of tonight, Trevor will be my mate. Its just not fair, this should not be how I spend my 18th birthday. I should be getting my alpha title with my mate, my true mate, standing beside me. Instead, I'm freaking out about finding him. A girl should not have to feel this pressure when it comes to their mate. Frustrated, I just looked down and grabbed the stack of pancakes that my mother had made for me. As I'm eating the heavenly breakfast, the Beta for Alpha Wilde walks in.

"Oh, good morning birthday girl." he says to me.

"Morning." I simply stated with pancakes still in my mouth. I try to give him a smile, but my checks are stuffed with chocolate chip pancakes and I know that I look like a chipmunk.

The beta begins to laugh. "You gonna share some of those?" he asked.

I pause for a moment. Usually, I would say no immediately. Nobody takes my food, its an unspoken rule in this pack. Never come in between me and my food. But, seeing as how I'm eating breakfast alone on my birthday and, I can't believe I'm saying this, there are way to many pancakes for me to eat alone. So, I end up shrugging my shoulders.
