1: Her birthday

*Cathwulf*

 I am awoken by birds singing outside my window. After stretching my slender, yet curvy body, I spring out of bed, feeling so happy and elated as a young girl possibly can.

 Finally the day I have been waiting for all of my life is here, my eighteenth birthday and soon I will turn into a wolf for the first time and hopefully meet my true mate.. yes, I, Cathwulf Pureheart, is a werewolf, and I can’t wait for my first change and what it will bring.

 Looking In the mirror I smile at myself. I know I am a pretty girl, even though I am nothing special, except for my eyes, they seem to change colour with the light and what I wear. I like my eyes a lot.

 First a quick shower, I can’t risk going to work smelling badly. Then I dry myself off and pull out the scrunchie holding my hair on top of my head.

 Standing in front of the mirror I absentmindedly run a brush through my long auburn hair and pull it into a ponytail. Cute... but simple... perfect.

 I carefully pull on clean cotton underwear and my black stockings, before I put on my favorite plaid skirt, it reaches just above my knees. I finish my look with a pretty white blouse. I want to look pretty for my birthday and for work.

 A bit of mascara and a touch of blush is all I need. I am lucky to be blessed with perfect porcelain skin, and pink full lips, so I don’t feel I need anymore to look my best. And to me too much makeup is never pretty, natural is the way to go.

 I skip down the stairs, whistling happily. This day is already like the best day ever and I can’t wait to see what more it will bring, only good things I am sure.

 I smile as I find my mess of a family in the kitchen, all chatting away happily. Well they aren’t my real family of course. I was an orphan and Lyca Pureheart adopted me when I was found as a baby. We are all orphans or babies left by their parents, but we are still a family.

 Luca is the one adopting all the orphaned wolf cubs in this pack, The silver lake pack, as she has no mate and no children of her own.

 “Morning Cat.. congratulations my dear”. Lyca comes over to kiss my cheeks. She has always been a great and very loving mother to all of us.

 From the other 6 kids in the kitchen there are yells of congratulations and happy birthday. Usually we all get along very well.

 My mother is back at the stove. “How does it feel to finally be an adult ?”

 “Oh so exciting and amazing mom”. I say, smiling happily. Turning eighteen is the biggest day in any young wolf's life.

 I look at Luca, happy that she has said ICan stay in her house until I find my mate or decide to move out.

 Then I look around the table at my siblings. I have one older brother Alaric, he is nineteen, but still living at home as he is studying and hasn't found a mate yet. Then I have three younger brothers Bardou, who is sixteen, Honi is nine and Cuan who is just two and the youngest. I also have two sisters, Chinua who is a typical thirteen year old and Due who is five and so sweet. Our house is always brimming with life.

 I slump down on my usual chair and grab a plate, loading it with mostly sausages and bacon. Lately as my change is getting closer I feel myself craving more and more meat. But that is just natural for a wolf of course, my mom keeps reassuring me.

 “I thought it better that you get your presents tonight after work, when you have more time to open one at a time and appreciate them”. Lyca says from the stowe, where she is making even more food for her hungry litter of pups.

 “Totally mom... I definitely prefer that”. I want to really enjoy opening my presents. I always loved getting presents and I hope I will get something good.

 Bardou looks up from his food. “Do you really have to work on your eighteenth birthday sis ? Couldn’t he have given you the day off ? It’s a special day after all”.

 “Mr Evill needs me… we are doing inventory these days and everyone has to be there”. I say, wolfing down my last piece of bacon. 

 I am proud that my boss needs me, that I do something that helps others.

 “Oh Thomas Evill, he is just so… hot”. Chinua breathes out, almost like a moan.

 I blush slightly, looking at my plate, thinking of my boss, the billionaire CEO of the company. “I guess he is a handsome looking man”.

 Lyca clears her throat. “Chinua ! You are way too young to be thinking about such things, you have 5 years till your first change and your chance of finding your mate… and it won’t be a human man... that’s for sure”.

 Lyca wants the best for all of us. Also when it comes to mates. I know she hopes I will be mated to a high level fighter or even a beta.

 “If she is lucky”. Alaric sighs and fills his plate again... he is rather depressed about not having found a mate, not everyone does. 

 Lyca ruffles his hair. “Don’t worry so much kid.. it has only been a year.  I am sure she will show up... just give it time”.

 We all keep telling him she will come… maybe she will have her first change this year or next.

 “You will find her and she will adore you”. I tell him, smiling at him. He deserves to find his mate and get his own family… he is the best big brother ever.

 “Thank you”. He says with a warm smile. “It’s gonna be interesting to see if your mate is in our pack... or you will need to search for him”.

 I nod feeling rather curious too.. I mean there are a couple of cute guys in the pack I wouldn’t mind being mates with. No matter who he is I know I will adore him, that is kinda how it works.

 Looking up I see the clock. “Oh I better get out the door, or I’ll be late for work... see you all later”.
