LAURA
“Laura!”
My stepmother is yelling from downstairs, and I reach over to my bedtable, take my phone and touch the screen, so it lights up and shows it’s only 7.30.
“Laura!” Samantha yells again.
I get out of my bed and walk downstairs to our big kitchen, where I find Samantha and Leah, my stepsister, sitting by the table, Leah all covered in face masks while her mom is putting red nail polish on her hands. They will look like she had been dipping them in fresh blood.
“About time, get to work and prepare breakfast. I am busy getting Leah ready for tonight.”
“It is like 12 hours away. “ I argue.
“That might be. But we want Leah to look better than everyone else.” I sigh and begin to make breakfast for all of us.
Tonight our new Alpha turns 20, which means he can now find his mate. Alphas and other male wolves find their mate when they turn 20. That is so they can make sure they are mature enough to start the rest of their life with their mate. She-wolves, on the other hand, can find their mate when they turn 17. Every unmated girl will be there tonight, hoping that they are his mate, or if his mate isn’t there, hoping he will choose one of them.
I think it’s ridiculous that we all have to stand there like cows for sale, waiting to be bought and dragged away. And I wanted to stay home, which Samantha thought was a good idea. She doesn’t want me to steal and overshadow my sister’s chance to become the next Luna. But my dad told me not to be silly and to be there, even if he had to drag me there himself. He said this could be my chance because I still had not found my mate, and I soon turn 19. That was something my dear stepmother didn’t like. Leah had turned 17 just a month ago, so now Samantha had used a lot more money to make sure Leah would look better than me.
My dad and my mom had grown up together, and when none of them found their mate, they chose each other because they loved each other very much. Then dad was on a trip with their Alpha, and he met Samantha, his fated mate. Dad called my mom, being so confused and needing her advice. Being who she was, my mom told my dad to bring her to our pack so he could get to know her, and if the fated bond was too strong, she didn’t want to be in the way. So my dad did just that, but after some time found that he loved my mom the most. But before he could break the bond with Samantha, my mom was killed in a rogue attack and left him with me being only a few months old. Shortly after Samantha moved in, she became pregnant about a year later. And after Leah was born, Samantha would always try to make my dad love her more because she was, in her opinion, after all, his true daughter. But dad loved us both equally and never gave one more than the other.

The house has been busy all day. Leah and her snobby friends have been at it all day. So I decided to keep to myself and stayed in my room. A knock on the door pulls me from my thoughts, and my best friend Cora steps into my room.
“Hey, girl, are you ready?”
“Hey.”
Cora and I had agreed to get ready together. She enters my room, and we just do some small talk while we do each other hair and makeup. My long sandy blonde hair had been put in a long braid that began on the right side of my head to end hanging over my left shoulder, and she also put small hair clips with midnight blue stones into the braid. The makeup was kept light, with a blue eyebrow surrounding my blue eyes, a light blush on my cheeks, and a soft pink lip gloss. Looking in the mirror, I loved Cora's work and went to get my dress, a simple but long midnight blue silk dress with thin shoulder straps.
When it was time, they all left to walk over to the packhouse. Many girls were already standing outside the packhouse, and some dressed up formally. Some were dressed in skirts so short that it was embarrassing to look at. When it was finally time, an elder came out from the packhouse and stood on the stairs leading inside. The minute the door, a strong scent of fresh-cut grass and spices hit my nose, making Kali, my wolf, wake up inside of my head.
“Welcome everyone, especially welcome to all these beautiful house unmated she-wolves. We are here so that Alpha Miles can give or choose a mate, to be by his side as a loving partner, a mother to his pups, and to be his Luna.”
All us girls were now instructed to stand next to each other in one long line. Cora stood to one side of me in her emerald green dress and matching makeup. Or my other side was Leah in her blood-red dress, showing off her legs.
“I also have the pleasure of informing you that Alpha Miles have been able to smell a scent so alluring that it can only be the scent of a fated mate. And I just say that Alpha Miles are very excited to get out there and find her.”
LAURA All the girls either giggled or squealed in excitement when the big double wooden doors opened. Again I was hit by the strong scent of fresh-cut grass and spices and then he came out. I have seen Alpha Miles before but at this moment it feels like I am seeing him for the first time. He looks confident when looking at the line of girls and he looks very handsome with his brown messy hair, green eyes, and muscular build, a real Alpha. He slowly looks at the line of girls, when his eyes fall on me he stops. Locking eyes, I feel as if I am being sucked in, and Kali is chanting one word in my head. ‘Mate, Mate, Mate’ “What is he doing?” Leah asks whispering but no one answers her. “Why is he looking at you.” She whispers. I don’t answer, I barely hear her talking. Alpha Miles begin to walk in our direction never removing his eyes from mine, just before he reached us Leah stepped in front of me and smiles wide at Alpha Miles. “Alpha, So nice to meet you, my name is Leah.” Alpha
LAURA It’s been a month since I found out I am Miles Mate. I had imagined it to be feeling different than it does. I mean, he is nice enough, but I barely see him in the daytime because he is busy with work, except in our bedroom. Miles loves sex, wants it every night, and gets grumpy if I say no. So mostly, I just give him what he wants. I have been getting pain in my body around my chest and stomach, so I went to go see a pack doctor today. They first gave me a strange look when I told them how I felt. But then decided to take blood tests and made me pee in a cup. First, I was shocked when the pack doctor returned and told me I was pregnant. After a fast checkup, I was told I was about a month into my pregnancy. I told the doctor to keep it a secret, so I was sure I would be the one to tell Miles. I am sure everything will change now. We will finally start our life together and create a family. I entered the packhouse, trying to ignore the pain in my body. I was just coming from t
MILES I am sitting in my office chair doing a little work when the door opens, and Leah steps in before closing the door. I can’t help but smile at her, and she has been coming secretly to my office these past two weeks. Truth be said, she is nowhere as beautiful as Laura, but Leah lets me fuck her in whatever way I want to, and I never really wanted a mate. For the same reason, I had not marked Laura because that would have given her a direct line to my thoughts and feelings. “Alpha.” Leah greets me with a seductive smile and lust burning in her eyes. “Leah, what can I help you with?” I ask, playing my role but winking at her. “Alpha, I have this burning desire and lust, and I can’t fight it.” I chuckle. “Come here, sweet Leah, let your Alpha help you.” ‘Not again. You are hurting, mate.’ My wolf Titus growls in my head ‘She doesn’t know why it sometimes hurts, so shut it.’ I push him to the back of my mind and block him. Leah walks slowly over to me while undressing, letting
LIAM I am out for my evening run like I do every night. I do not have to do this, I am the king of all werewolves and can get anyone I want to do this but I like doing it, and gives me a chance to run off the stress from the day. My wolf Shadow is a beast that everyone knows to fear, he won’t let anyone harm our people and packmembers of our pack “The Royal Moon Pack” it is our duty to protect them. Shadow is running our usual route but tonight something feels different. I tell him to slow down so we can find out what it is when the wind carries a barely noticeable scent towards us, Jasmine and Vanilla. Shadow decides to follow the scent, wanting to find out where it comes from. Coming up to the small lake with the waterfall we have on our land, we stop and look around. ‘There, by the rocks, there is something.’ Shadow tells me. I look through his eyes and see he is right ‘Let’s check, but be prepared. I don’t want to be surprised by an attack.’ I feel that he agrees. Coming close
LIAM I am sitting in my office cursing this paperwork when my mother Rosa comes in and hands me a cup of fresh coffee. “Thanks, mom.” “Your welcome my son. Any news about the she-wolf?” “No, not yet. Waiting for the doc to tell me when she wakes up.” “I have sent for some sweatpants underwear and hoodies for her. You said you found her naked. And I thought something comfortable with being best.” “Thanks, mom, you’re the best. Didn’t even think of that.” “Your welcome. Remember to eat something, Liam.” She leaves my office I know better than not doing as she says so I mindlink the head omega telling her to have someone bring some food. And it does not take long before someone comes with some lunch. When Mack enters, I am sitting in my own thoughts, bringing his own food. “No news?” He asks and I shake my head. Mack was just like me and everyone else stunned by her beauty. She really is something you don’t see every day. We are talking about where she could come from, and other
LIAM I sat in my office in my office yesterday after coming back from talking with Laura. It is at times like this that I am not very proud of being the king of our species. Cheating and rejecting your goddess-given mate, you can’t be more stupid than that. And Laura, fuck I loved my mate, but Laura is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. At this moment I am in my car, driving to the hospital to pick up Laura and bring her home to my house. My mom has made sure to have a room with a joining bathroom ready for her, and also ordered the necessary clothes including underwear sets. My mom is looking forward to meeting Laura and having someone she can take care of. My mother is a sucker for making sure that the people around her are feeling good. Something she put her time and soul into after my father, her mate, and husband died. Driving up to the hospital and walk my way to Laura’s room and when I enter, the doc is there signing her release papers. The doctor turns and bows when
LAURA I have been here at the Royal Moon Pack for a little more than a month and everyone has been so sweet. Rosa has helped me a lot making sure I am eating the right food held my hair when I had morning sickness. She also took me shopping, which I felt was a little wrong when I didn’t have my own money to pay with. But she didn’t care about that and Liam just shushed, me when I tried to get him on my side. Kali also loves it here. She had been very quiet in the beginning after I had accepted Mile’s rejection and severed the bond to the pack. But after a few days, she began to come back to normal. She told me last night that Liam’s wolf sometimes communicates with her. And that makes things easier for her. I am grateful that someone has helped her. I am currently lying outside on one of the garden beds and enjoying the sun when I feel a shadow fall on me. Looking up, I see Liam looking down and me and smile when I open my eyes to look. Liam has been really sweet to me as well. Noth
LAURA Liam led us into where all the packmembers have their houses, but there are also shops and a place where you can sit down and get a coffee. He showed me the gym and where his warriors work out and train daily. I was surprised to see so many she-wolves there, but Liam told me he likes for everyone to be able to protect themselves, so he encourages as many as possible to at least take some classes in self-defense. “From the look on your face, I take it that this isn’t something you are used to.” “No, she-wolves were not allowed to train. Especially not with the warriors. My dad wanted to train me, but the old Alpha said no. When Miles became Alpha he continued that.” Liam nods. “Sadly many packs still function in that old fashion way. But that means you never trained?” “Yes, but I wanted to." Liam smiles at me. “When you have given birth, I will train you until you are ready to train in the gym.” “I would love that, thank you.” We continue walking down the streets and com
