"Mom, if I have to wear a dress for my birthday, I would prefer this one" I say as I hold up a knee-length, off-shoulder black gown with sequined accents around the neckline. We have been arguing about the dress for 20 minutes. Every time I would try one on, one of us would gush over it while the other three would scrunch their noses. I was really getting tired of trying on dresses.
Suddenly a saleslady comes over with a dress that is in a black garment bag, "Ladies! I have the perfect compromise for all of you! This gown has a little bit of everything each of you want. Plus, it's an original design by one of our employees. No one else has ever worn this dress!" Leah's eyes light up, "That's what is going to set her apart from every other young lady on Earth that day!" I roll my eyes and follow the saleslady to the dressing rooms.
As she unlocks one of them, she hands me the dress and says, "This is the perfect compromise. It's floor length, so your mother will be ha
It has been four days since my shopping trip, and I am really starting to dread my birthday. I had a particularly hard day at school today. I managed to get supper fixed, then limped up to my room before my parents got home. I know I have some broken ribs and my leg is broken from being kicked and stomped on by Dina and her groupies. She kept saying something about me trying to take Adam from her. I tried telling her I don't want him, but she didn't believe me. I look in the mirror and my face is really bruised up too. One eye is swollen shut, my nose is broken, and my lip is split. Thank Goddess for werewolf healing. I should look normal by morning. I just need to stay away from my parents until morning. I change into a tank top and shorts and sit at my desk to do some homework when my phone vibrates. It's Kayla: K: How are you feeling? M: Hurting like hell, but I should be better by morning. K: I told dad you wouldn't be able t
I wake up at 6am, on my own, wondering why my mom didn't wake me up before she went to work. I smell the air in myroom,and it smells like someone has been in here. Specifically, it smells like Adam's scent. But why would he be in here? It makes no sense at all. I go to stretch and feel a pain in my ribs. I guess those aren't completely healed yet. Maybe I should think about staying home from school today so I can at least start my birthday injury-free. I walk downstairs and find my parents in the kitchen drinking coffee. I look at them with a confused look. Might as well tell them about my suspicions. "Morning," I start as I pour a cup of coffee, "I had a reallyweirdnight last night. I woke up about an hour after going to bed last night after I thought I heard a few camera clicks
Adam POV I woke up this morning to a text from Dina wanting me to take her to school this morning. I told her I was walking and tossed my phone. Then the mindlink started, "But Alpha, I really want to talk to you today," she whined. "Dina, if you can't fucking talk like a fucking adult, leave me alone. It's too early to listen to you whine". That was all I heard from her and I was glad for it. I picked up my phone again and pulled up th
Abby's POV Kayla and I went to my room while our parents talked for most of the morning. We just talked about the upcoming fight and my birthday tomorrow until I receive a text from Adam.
I imagine you're asking how there is a clearing in the middle of a big city. Actually, it's not a real clearing. It's a spot in a local park where the local police department knows we do things like this. When our pack lets them know, they block it off so that no humans are allowed to go there. It's usually an area where human druggies go to get high, so they normally dismiss it as a bad trip if they stumble upon us. It's another safety issue for both us and the humans. After we eat, Kayla and I change into our matching butterfly leggings and black sports bras and do some warm-ups. At 5:30, we head over to the clearing and there is already a huge crowd forming. I start to get nervous and dad notices. He puts a hand on my shoulder, "This is what we've trained so hard for. If that girl in the middle is Dina, you got this. You've knock me and Beau on our asses. You can definitely take her out. Just remember what we went through today in case she shifts". I nod, "I remember," th
Adam POV Okay, my mate is a complete badass! Never, in a million years, did I expect what I just saw. She must have been training with her dad and Kayla's dad privately. A lot of those moves looked like their signature moves. I don't care how they trained, I'm just glad they did. "Are you sure about that?" Max asks, "you said you wanted a submissive mate. It looks like our mate is anything but submissive". "At this point, I don't care. So far, everything I'm seeing in her is perfect". I approach Abby and Kayla after they are done hugging their dads, "That was one of the quickest fights I have ever seen. You ladies made quick work of them. I was glad to see it. Xavier is going to catch hell at school tomorrow for getting his ass kicked by a she-wolf, but h
Abby POV It was almost 8 pm when we got home from the fight, and I was exhausted. Every time I feel this tired, I know I'm going to get a visit from the Moon Goddess in my dreams, The fact that it's this early, tells me she has a lot to talk to me about.I tell my parents goodnight and go to my room. I take a hot shower and let the steam relax my muscles for a bit. I get out of the shower and dry off. I walk into my room and put on a tank top and shorts. I brush out my hair and put it in a loose braid to keep it from tangling like crazy overnight. I brush my teeth and turn off my light and get in bed. I fall asleep as soon as I snuggle in. It feels like I'm asleep five minutes before the all too familiar white light appears before my eyes and
Adam POV I wake up to Max howling in my head, "Wake up! Time to go meet mate!" I smile and say, "Today is the day. Why do I have a bad feeling?" Max says, "maybe because she is too good for us? Maybe because your dad is being a dickwad? Could be any number of things. Let's get up and try though. At the very least we get to look forward to seeing her up-close and personal in that leather outfit". I get out of bed, already hard thinking about the outfit. "Good grief, Max, you couldn't wait to put that image in my head?" Max rolls his eyes, "Sorry dude. Sucks to be you right now". I force myself to think of boring things while I brush my teeth and get dressed for the day. I walk downstairs intending to just grab an apple for breakfast, but my dad is sitting
