"HAPPY BIRTHDAY" was yelled and it startled me awake.
My Mum and my brother's were stood at the side of where me, Lisa and Benji fell asleep. I groggily see through my half open eye.
"Nope not my birthday for a few more hours of sleep." I manage to jumble out. As Lisa tells us to shut up she is getting her beauty sleep. Benji sits up.
My brother laugh and start throwing pillows at me and Lisa, it turns into a huge pillow fight me and Lisa are definitely awake now. My Mum, Richard and Riggs join us on the floor with a few prezzies in their hands.
They pass them to me, I unwrap the one from my Mum and it is my favourite set of books. My brothers got me some make up and perfume.
Lisa gets up and gets me a gift from her bag, I open it and it is the most beautiful necklace. It is a tear drop with the most beautiful colour of blue. Benji gives me his and it is matching earing to the necklace. I hug them all loving my gifts, knowing I am a lucky girl.
Me and Lisa head up to my room to get a shower and get ready to go shopping. I Left Benji downstairs playing on the X-Box with my brothers. Knowing that would keep them all entertained.
We get quick showers after we have got dressed Lisa french braided my hair for me.Which means I will have nice curls in my hair for tonights ball. I have already got a dress picked out for tonight is is just a little black dress, with thing straps and got to just below the knee nothing special, but it was a dress I was comfortable wearing.
We head downstairs and see that Benji, Richard and Riggs were right where we left them. Sat on the couch racing each other and trying to beat each other.
"Right Benji, time for shopping."
"Do I really have to go?" Benji wines from the couch
"Excuse me Benji, it is Rory's birthday, it is her choice now get your arse of the couch and get your shoes on." Lisa commands.
"Fine!!!" Benji says grumpily as he gets off the couch and slips his trainers on. We leave the house and climb into Benji's black BMW, a car that he got for his eighteen birthday off of his parents. He puts some music on and we spend the whole way there arguing about the crap that he put on.
"My car, my rules, my music!" He kept saying no matter what me and Lisa said. Lisa who was sat in the front eventually grabbed the CD and threw it out of the window.
"Lisa you owe me a copy of that CD, I am being serious."
"Well you should have stopped playing it then." Lisa snickered
We pulled up to the shopping centre and parked. Squeezing out of the tight gaps that was left. Me and Lisa wrapped our arms around one of Benji's and walked arm in arm into the shopping centre. We spent hours going into every signle shop that we passed. Lisa still needed to pick a dress for tonight, so we went into a little boutique. benji went into a different shop. The dresses were lovely but so expensive, money was no issue for Lisa though, her parents had so much money. She could get what she wanted when she wanted it.
As we are looking through the rails of dresses, who happened to walk in aswell of course it was Shanaya and her best friend Sammy. Both of them both the biggest bitches of the pack and sammy the biggest slut of the pack she would open her legs for any wolf that wanted her.
Lisa saw me looking at them,
"Just ignore them they are not worth it." Lisa whispers to me.
You see they used to pick on me but they wouldn't dare pick on Lisa and Benji becase their families were well known and had a lot of money. They would pick on me whenever I was not with them. They would always manage to make nasty comment though that would hurt too.
We carried on looking and just as I saw a perfect dress for Lisa, I felt a tug from the other side and when I looked it was Shanaya.
"Let go, this is my dress."
"Seriously I had it first and you know it, just back off."
"Who do you think you are talking to Omega?" Omega was the lowest of low wolves and one of the biggest insults she could give to me.
Lisa jumps in "Did you just call her an Omega?"
Shanaya now looking worried not realising that Lisa was with me.
"No you must have heard wrong, this is my dress and I am getting it I was just asking for her to let go."
"Rory just let her have it." I let go thinking in my head I wish I could let her have it. They walk away to get the dress. Me and Lisa carry on looking and she tries on a few dresses until she finds the perfect dress. It is long down to the floor. Bright green silk the same colour mstches her eyes perfectly. It had a plunge down to her belly button nearly. I would be scared to wear that dress as would be scared that my boobs would fall out.
She buys the dress and we go meet Benji at the food court and get some food and drink before we all head back to our own homes to get ready for the ball.
I go and get washed, put my make up on and I am just about to put my dress on when there is a knock at the door.
"Come in." I call out
My mum walks in with a box in her hand.
"This was bought years ago. As soon as he saw it, he knew that it was meant to be for you."
She passed it to me.
"Dad got me this?" I ask with tears in my eyes
"Yes, he got it for this day for you."
I open the lid and see the most beautiful dress that I have ever seen. It was a gold colour, with flecks of glitter all over it reflecting the light. With a light gold lace over the top. I couldn't help the tears that fell down my face.
My Mum wraps her hands around me and gives me a hug while whispering to me
"He would be so proud of you." She kisses my cheek and walks out of the bedroom with tears in her own eyes.
After I manage to stop my tears, I redo my make up and slide the beautiful dress on. I take the french braid out of my hair and let the waves surround me. I slip on some heels that would go with the dress and head downstairs.
Everyone is there when I get to the bottom. Mum looks happily at me, Lisa is giddy, Benjamin, Richard and Riggs don't look happy which is annoying I thought I looked good.
Riggs comes over to me "You look absolutly beautiful Aurora." kissing my cheek.
"Why didn't you look that way when you first saw me."
"Sorry little sis but seeing you like that means we will have more males to fight off." I laugh at that.
Me, Lisa and Benji leave together saying by to my family and saying see you there. We get to the hall where the ball is being held and it was magnificent the lights hung everywhere making it sparkle. As we walked in eyes came to us and the unexpected happened I could feel that my mate was here.
I grabbed hold of Lisa and Benji's arm."He's here." I say"Who is?" Benji asks dumbly, before realising I meant my mate.I start walking through the crowds of people trying to find him. When I think I spot him I must be mistaken. No no it couldn't be. He turns to look at me with shock in his eyes aswell. Shanaya holds on to his arm."Dax where are you going?" she asks as he starts walking towards me.Then she see's what is happening."No you are mine, you are not mated to this mongrel. You deserve the best, you deserve me." Her ramblings landed on deaf ears as Dax pulled his arm out of hers and walked closer to me.Lisa and Benji looked just as shocked as I do."Rory are you sure it is Dax?" I nod to herLisa and Benji release me so I can walk to Dax.We stand in front of each other just looking at each other."I never thought my mate would be you." I say to him
DAX POV Growing up has always been a mixture of tough but great. Being the son of the Alpha and the next Alpha of this pack meant I had certain expectations made of me. I had to start training not just on the fighting, but on how to run the pack and the pack businesses as soon as I was old enough to walk. I first started feeling the fever of my first turn when I was just ten, that is one of the youngest in history. Which means more was expected from me, they said I would be one of the strongest Alpha's we have ever had. By the time I was sixteen I was already taller than my Dad and had more muscles aswell, my Dad get's more and more excited the bigger and stronger I get. We were a close family and then the worst thing to ever happen to me, a few years ago we got the best news my Mum was pregnant and me and my Dad was so excited, but during the labour major complications happened and the bleeding wouldn't stop and even though she was a wolf she couldn't recover
AURORA'S POV Waking up, I was so sore everything seemed to be hurting. I try to open my eyes but my right one doesn't seem to want to follow the left one and remains closed. I try to sit up but then some hands hold me down, I look and there is Dax seeing him makes a tear spill from my eyes. What would he think of such a weak mate? "Do not cry Aurora, you will be fine, you will fully heal within the next day or so, but at the minute you have a few broken ribs and leg so try not to move too much. Do you remeber what happened or who/ what did this to you?" I don't want to answer him just yet so I just shake my head. Tilly is talking to me now, "Tell him, tell our mate he will help." "I don't know it was his ex that did this to us." "Yes but he is our mate now not hers." I wish I could share her optimism. "I don't want him to think he has made the wrong decision in choosing us over her." That made her quiet.
After they made sure that I was OK by myself at home, they left with a kiss to the cheek. I couldn't help wishing for my wolf to come through soon, I need to turn so hopefully I will get a bit stronger so I can kick Shanya's arse all on my own. That was now my goal. I didn't want to have to run to Dax, this was my fight I was not backing down for the likes of her. If I don't turn soon, I would just have to hope the training we get will toughen me up. I must have fallen asleep not long after as I woke up to ten missed calls on my phone and a few txt's. "You ok Rory? How you doing?" "Hello, you ok?" "RORY ANSWER YOUR PHONE!!!" "Bitch don't make me come over there." "Your Mum answered the house phone told me you were asleep so ignore my previous message."All of these were from Lisa they made me laugh. I got just one from Benji asking me how I was the most w
I woke up not feeling too great. My stomach must be doing tumbles in my belly as I felt as though I was going to throw up with the nerves. Today was the first day of training and I was nervous and a little bit scared aswell. Me and Dax have been training for the past few days and I did improve, the problem was I didn't improve much at all. I'm just glad I wouldn't be by myself and that Benji and Lisa would be going through their training too, my biggest worry was that Shanaya was also getting her training today. She already knew how to fight, she didn't need no training. It was going to be the first time that I had seen her since she beat me up that night. I was just praying that I was not partnered up with her. I just lay there letting the sun through the crack in the curtains land on me. I watched at the dust motes danced in the lights, before deciding it was time for me to get ready for training. I get up and grab a wuick shower I didn't bother washing
We got to the pack doctor. "Your back again?" He says "Yes I like getting beat up so much." I reply He smiles at that. "Well let's get you checked out." He checks me all over and then says "Well I think you will be fine, no broken bones but you will be sore for a day until you fully heal." "Are you sure doc?" Dax asks "I think he knows better than you Dax." I say smirking at him. "I just want to make sure your alright, Nelson should have called that fight off long before he did." "Damn right he should have done, I wanted to jump in and kill that bitch." Lisa says "Well I will be watching to make sure that it doesn't happen again." Dax announces "No you will not." I told him "Yes I will the hell I am going to let that happen to you again." "What so she thinks that I need you to protect me? I need to be able to handle this shit myself.
I woke up when I hear a small knock at my bedroom door. I don't answer it and I don't speak, I don't want to talk to anyone right now. My eyes hurt from all the crying everytime I blink it feels like sandpaper behind my eyes.I pick my phone up and turn it back on, I turned it off last night I didn't want to answer the phone and hear lies. Once my phone loads up I hear it chiming quite a few times.I take a deep breath steeling myself to read what they say.It says I have thirty six missed calls, most of those from Dax. One from Benji the rest Lisa. Dax left me a voicemail. I can't listen to that right now. I also have a few txt. I steel myself up and look at them.Dax "Look I know what you must be thinking, but your wrong. I don't know how Shanaya and Benson knew we were going there. I wouldn't do that to you, your my mate. Please answer your phone so I can talk to you please."I kept reading throught the messages
DAX POV Seeing Shanaya fighting with Aurora was one of the toughest and angriest moments of my life, I wanted to tell Nelson to stop the fight, but when Aurora looked at me and shook her head I could see the determination in her eyes that she had to do this on her own with no help from me, but as her mate that was the hardest thing to do. See my mate get hurt and not help. As soon as i saw Aurora go down and Shanaya standing over her about to hit her again I let out a little growl that only Nelson could hear, he got the message either way. "No, we do not him on the ground, that is a cowards way not our way. Shanaya is the winner." As soon as the fight was done and ran to her as fast as I could, me and my wolf Edon needed to know that she was ok. After I had seen the blood on her face and the blood, I give her a kiss and then my anger makes me go and say something to Nelson, how the fuck could he let that happen, that was not
