Chapter 3

“I’m home!!!” I shouted. I was all giddy and wanted to hug mom. She came out of the study and I ran to her and gave her a big bear hug. 

“Oh baby I missed you so much!”

“I missed you too, both of you.” I said tearing up.

I love my parents with all my heart. They are so supportive and loving. I have never felt so much love from anyone else other than my parents.

All though, I don’t look like them. Both my parents have blue eyes. Dad was 6’5 with light brown hair and mom was 5’7 with dirty blonde hair. 

I haven't asked why, because honestly, my parents have shown me love since the moment I came to this world and have always been there for me, that should be enough to complete me.

“Where’s da–” I didn’t finish my sentence. 

“Natie!!! You're here baby girl!” He says with a huge smile. He hugs me so hard, squeezing the air out of me.

“Dad…your…squeezing…too…hard!” I let out a breath as he released me.

“Oops…sorry Natie, I missed you so much.” he said, kissing my forehead.

“Let me help you with your bag and take it upstairs to your room.” 

“It’s okay pops, I got this! Let me just freshen up and we can chat it up.” I guess they took this day off to receive me. I mean what kind of parents would they be if they didn’t, I smiled.

“Okay baby girl, hurry up!” Dad quickly turned around, looked at mom, and kissed her passionately.

One thing about wolves, is that when they are mated, they are sexual all the time and I mean all the time. I think this is why I wear my earbuds every night because those two can’t ever keep their hands off each other. 

Insulated walls my butt.

After placing my bag on my bed, freshening up, and getting into my pj’s, I headed downstairs. Mom makes the best BLT sandwiches (they are my favorite) with jalapeño chips, even better. I tell them about my whole summer and how Friday ended. They were just as excited as I was. 

“Oh snap Natie, you think you're ready? What am I saying, you are ready!” Dad said, grinning wickedly.

“Dad, I am more than ready! I’m thinking about joining the elite warriors, but I know Alpha will want to see what I can do and probably have one of his warriors challenge me.” 

“I got this pops! Even Frank encouraged me to do so as well.”

“Oh we know and every time I spar with you in the backyard, I can see your strength and skills. You’ve gotten stronger and you have knocked me down on the floor a couple of times.” Dad said, wagging his eyebrows up and down. “Natie, I’m 6’5!" 

I chuckled. “Stooop…” I shyly said.

“But yes, when Alpha mentions the date for tryouts, I will be there. I won’t settle for less.” I proudly said. I know Alpha will give me a hard time, but he doesn’t know, I have been training all this time.

“Oh I’m sure he will, Natie. I think you're overthinking it too much. If you're willing, he will give you a chance to prove yourself,” he said, his voice sounding with conviction.

The Adams know that Natalie has beta blood in her veins because Alpha and Luna know her mother was mated to the beta from the Blood Moon Pack. They know that she will be stronger and faster than normal wolves because she is meant to protect an Alpha. 

That is why they encouraged her to train. In the end it is her destiny.

“Okay, you need to get some rest baby. We have plenty of time to go school shopping and see what you need. But also, take the time to relax and enjoy your last weeks of vacation,” mom said.

“Kay, well thanks for the food mom, it was delicious. I am beat…” I said lazily, yawning and stretching. I gave them each a hug and kiss, then headed upstairs.

When I entered my room, I saw the light on my phone and noticed Evie was calling me. “Yo, whats up buddy!?” I said, “Dude! I called several times!” Evie growled.

“Sorry buddy, I came home and my parents fed me and I was talking to them about everything that happened at training, my bad.” I nervously said.

Evie is the only person that is not blood related that can talk to me like that or treat me like a sister. I’ll make others feel like they have a death wish. 

“Hey wanna hang out tomorrow? I miss you but I am so tired Evie.” 

She groaned and let out a sigh, “Okay Natie, I miss you too and I would love to. Have a good night and sleep tight. I’ll call you as soon as I wake up, but don’t call me cause you wake up too early for my liking!” She giggled.

I rolled my eyes, “Okay so 9ish? Yes, okay, byeeee!” 

“WHAAAT NO—!” was all I heard. She was not a morning person. I loved being an early bird, it made me feel productive, but as soon as 7 or 8 pm came, my body knew it was time to whine down.

Even my parents laughed at me but I rather sleep at night and take advantage of the daylight. Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t mind sleeping in every once in a while.

I washed my face, brushed my teeth, and headed for a shower. I missed my vanilla scented shampoo and dove soap, my two favorite clean scents. I got out and slept only in my undies, cause damn it can get hot at night.

I put on some Coldplay. I only loved their first three albums and they were in one playlist. I put it on low to help me sleep and shortly after that I was out.

I woke up all of a sudden, because my body had an alarm of its own. It's like it sensed dawn and sure enough, I could see the sun trying to peek out. 

I stretched, got my phone and clicked on I*******m. I was looking at some followers and people who followed me. I frowned when I noticed I had a friend request, especially from someone I never expected. ‘Friend request from Christian Allen, approve or ignore.’ 

“The hell!?” I was shocked and furrowed my brows. “Why in the heck would he want me as a friend on this crap?” I do not accept just any follower requests on this app because I don’t like people invading my privacy, especially if I don’t speak to them. 

I did what I thought was suitable for him, I didn’t reply. I mean the audacity, he may soon be our Alpha, but he has never talked to me. My pictures are my world and I will not permit just anyone to enter that part of my life. It’s already enough that we belong to the same pack.

~Christian’s POV~

Last night I heard my parents talking about Natalie coming home. I knew they were talking about Natalie Adams, the one girl who was untouchable or unapproachable. That vixen thought she was hiding in the shadows but I saw her.

The thing is that she didn’t realize how badly guys wanted her. Even if they came up to her it was funny because she would stare at them like they were stupid and her resting b-face said it all. She didn’t even have to respond, and because of that they never approached her again. Talk about painted black. I think that was the color of her soul.

The girl was beyond gorgeous. Every time she walked in a classroom or the cafeteria, her dark and mysterious demeanor attracted anyone. She would never know, because when you saw her with her earbuds on, it’s as if Natalie was always in her own world.

I wonder where she goes every summer because I never saw her around the pack when school was finished. I was thinking about asking my parents, but that will have to wait.

I was always surrounded or being approached by girls, it never failed. I’ve slept around and I wasn’t ashamed of it because I am an Alpha and an Alpha needs that sexual release. I did have an ex-girlfriend that seemed to not know the meaning of “ex”. Elle was always around when I needed an easy fu*k.

She was Zeo Wilson’s sister, our future beta, and was captain of the cheerleader squad. This girl would sometimes scare the other girls away and acted like she owned me. The girl is sexy but has a nasty attitude and thinks highly of herself. No shame whatsoever.

Natalie, however, she was the one girl I was profoundly attracted to. I wanted to feel and taste her. She had this strong aura around her and that confused me because I know her parents are warriors, but there was this ambience about her that made me want her more than any other she wolf. Just maybe, maybe she could be my fated mate.

I went on I*******m and just like I assumed, she has her account in private, so you can only see her profile picture. It was a set of earbuds on top of a book in black and white. This girl was fascinating. I wanted to know her so badly…all of her. 

I mean come on, who wouldn’t want a piece of me. I’m 6 '6, muscular, I have the lightest gray eyes with dirty blonde hair, medium on the top and short sides. I’m every girl's wet dream. I’ve been told I look like the younger version of Christopher Egan. I’m better looking though. 

So I did what I have never done with any other girl. I sent her a friend request on I*******m. “Damn, now the waiting game begins.”
