" Happy Birthday, you're finally twenty today," said my mother with a happy grin on her face. " What's so interesting about it? " I asked her. People turn eighteen all the time, nothing big about it.
" It means that you are ready to look for your mate, you silly girl, you never know, you might get your mate today," said my mother. Here in our pack, if you don't find your mate by eighteen, you get your mate by twenty. So, I didn't get my mate when I was eighteen. What are the odds that I will get my mate now?
She is more excited than me. And how does she manage to stay that active early in the morning? It takes me hours to sound alive.
" As if the whole clan is dying to be my mate," I told her, dragging my body from the bed. It's going to be another long day, because since I am twenty today, mom will drag me back into the pack house. And truth to be told, I don't like that place.
" I named you Daisy to always look radiant and be happy, not to show such a long face early in the morning," she said and gave me a kiss on my forehead. " Let me get ready, I have classes today, " I told her.
" Breakfast is ready sweety. Don't forget to take your lunch. I will pick you up by 5." Said my mother. She runs her own restaurant and she is the best at what she does. She is a good mother and a good business manager while I am barely surviving.
I got ready, ate my breakfast, well time to face another boring day. I kick-started my old rusty bike. The road stays pretty empty as this time. I reached my destination on time.
I have a history of werewolves test today and I am pretty sure I forgot every leaders names, let alone the names of the wars fought by them. Seriously, why do they fight so much?
Its a custom here to wear a red scarf around your neck if you don't have any mate, and at my age that's embarrassing.
I am constantly the target of gossip. The only thing that gave me little happiness in college is my crush, Derek, the handsome boy in our class. I have imagined in so many ways what would happen if he was my mate, like how, suddenly in the hall full of other werewolves, he would see me and realize that I was his mate and just swap me in his arms, call me his mate, but, of course, that never happened.
He has a girlfriend now. Her name is Caroline and I hate her. Not that she has some overwhelming feelings for me. We both hate each other. Caroline and I grew up together and we were never friends. It's a Cold War between us.
But, of course, we both try to keep it down, not show anything. I don't know what Derek sees in her. Why is he soo obsessed with her? She is not even that special other than the fact that she is Alpha's daughter and she is going to be the first female Alpha of our pack since our Alpha doesn't have any sons. Oh! That makes sense now.
But if she marries Derek and becomes Alpha of the group will derek be the luna of the pack? Obviously not. What a stupid thing to think about. I need to focus on my test which I will be failing on my birthday. Why Caroline has a yellow scarf I don't understand.
If you're dating other than your own mate you get a yellow scarf. I don't understand why Caroline has that scarf. Isn't she with derek? So derek isn't her one and only.
You can date anyone but once you get your mate you have to be with them, and I don't like the idea of hurting someone's feelings just because you cannot survive alone. And also your mate might not like to know that you fooled around insead of waiting for your mate.
I sat on my desk, Mrs Smith is distributing papers, internal marks are really important for the finals. I hope I can pass this exam. I took my question paper and well, the questions are little odd. Like they are -
1. Name the first female Alpha in werewolf history?
2. Who was blessed with the visit of moon godess first?
3. what is the curse of the moon godess? why she got it?
4. Describe one rebirth story of moon godess.
5. What is mate bond? And how we can reject our mate?
I know only 1,2 and 5, I might have missed a class or two, cause I have no idea what they are talking about. I wrote everything I know. I could cheat but I don't like that idea, so I submitted my paper and walked out of the hall.
And suddenly, it happened. The thing I was waiting for my whole life its happening. I am getting a very sweet smell something like strawberries and jasmine, its sweet and addictive. That means my mate is nearby. Finally I will have my mate. Finally, I will not have to wear my red scarf any more.
My werewolf is shouting and jumping in joy. She is so excited. I must look for my mate, wonder if its derek? since the smell is coming from that side. I started to walk towards that direction. And then what I realized shattered me, that is not possible. It can never be true.
My eyes rested on derek but nothing happened than I looked towards Caroline glaring towards me. But as soon as her gaze meet mine her expression soften, her eyes glittered and my stupid wolf shouted ' mate' .
Caroline, girlfriend of my crush , enemy of my childhood is my mate. Is it even possible to get a female mate? will wolf society accept me? Forget it, how will I deal with it? Am I ready? I waited so long for her?
Moon godess I know I haven't studied about you, but no way you're going joke with me like that. Caroline also isn't looking that happy either.
She walked towards me and said " Stop looking towards my mate. " And I almost said to her ' I am your mate, not him ' but I controlled myself. What's wrong with me?
" Meet with me in the old library." she wished to me. oh! She wants to talk with me, I gave a slight nod. She walked away. Lets hope for the best
