Unexpected Soulmates

Chapter 1

(Up top are how the dresses, suits, and party look.)

Mate the half of your soul a person that is made for you. We all hope to find them, and the first step to being able to find one. Is your 18th birthday, you have finally reached. Now for the rest of your life until you find them, anyone in the room could be the one. I find myself in that spot today, it being my 18th birthday. I am happy that I can find my mate, there's just one problem. The fact that I want my mate to be a girl, not a boy I know the Moon Goddess knows best. It is just that if it is a boy, then what I have thought my whole life is wrong. The crushing on Lexie the gorgeous black hair girl in my art class, or the kiss I shared with Floris when playing spin the bottle. That sparked all of these feelings. 

   I also don't want to lose my mate either, because I have witnessed the outcome of it. When my Dad died, my Mom couldn't get out of the bed for 6 months. Then it took her 2 more years to smile, year and 3 month to get a job again. That is the scariest thing to see a light go out like that. Like I said the idea of a mate is wonderful, application actually having one not so much. 

   "Amara" I look over to see Elijah my best friend since I could form memories. He points up front, looking to see my Teacher staring at me shit. 

   "Yes sir" I say in a shaky voice. 

   "Yes Ms. Fellon would you like to talk about the first Mates?" The irony is outstanding. 

   "Malcolm was said to be the first blessed with a mate, Alpha of one of the first Packs. He inspired loyalty from his people, but the Goddess saw that he was struggling with his own demons. So for his loyalty not only to her, you but his people as well. She created a female wolf and dropped her into his life. Now seeing how having one another better both parties. She decided that all wolves from then forward would have a mate, the other half of the soul." I finish my story and he gives me a nod going on with his lesson. 

   Class is over which means that I have one more Class Art is my favorite part of the day, when I finally get to see her. Not only seeing her but working with her, since we are doing portraits right now. I am drawing her and she is drawing me. Why does she have the definition of beautiful mixed light skin, curly hair, and Amber eyes. I know that this feeling will pass soon, and I will have my mate. Until then setting across from her will be my special time. 

   Walking in the class I see she is already there and setting up, walking over I take my set. "Hi" I say sitting my bag down, trying hard to be obvious while checking her out. 

   "Hi Amara Happy Birthday, are you excited." Why does she have to be so. 

   "Thank you yeah I am, my mom has been working all day to get everything ready. She sent out invitations 3 months ago, with the help of the Alpha to different packs. Stating that all of age people are invited to my birthday party." I let out a little just imagining my mom right running around like a chicken with it head cut off. 

   "Well you can definitely bet that I am going to be there to hopefully see the big moment." Every part of me was hoping that when I walked into the room, I would feel the feelings you are supposed to feel then finding your mate. 

   "Yeah I am really hoping everything goes well tonight." Ms. Walker comes in, and that is the sign to get to work. Talk quietly, or else face her Wrath. Taking out the supplies she offers to go first, since I was almost done. Looking at the picture all I really had to do was finish the hands, and put in a few more details. "It is not fair how pretty you are, you know that right?" 

   "Oh come on my big eyes and even bigger hair." You mean deep eyes as luxurious hair. "I wish I had that red hair, and blues eyes of yours. I swear I don't know how you're real sometimes." Yep I am saving those words.
