"Hello."
It was Dax the son of the Alpha. I wonder what he was doing here. Like I said before no one ever bothers me here. I guess I was wrong.
"Hello, what are you doing here?" I asked maybe a little too snarky.
"Wow all I did was walk to my spot and your talking to me like that, what did I do to deserve your disdain already?" He said with a grin on his face.
"Sorry, I had come to my spot for some peace and didn't expect anyone to bother me."
"I accept your apology, and this is my spot too and normally no one is here when I am either."
I just look at him, seeing him this close in person just makes my mouth drool. He is tall, broad shouldered, with brown hair and beautiful hazel eyes. No woman or man for that matter would be crazy not to either fancy him or want to be him.
He had never paid any attention to me before now though, as I was the weak child and not one designed for fighting, so would have been no interest to the next Alpha of the pack. I was not exactly beautiful either. Where he on the other hand had been trained to fight since he was three years olf and had turned into his wolf at the age of ten. The earlier they say the stronger your wolf is his Dad turned at the age of twelve so that means he will be stronger than his Dad is, he is one of the youngest to have ever turned. Yes I know alot about him as it was major pack news at the time and you couldn't get away from someone talking about it. where me, I havn't even turned yet. I still have my wolf Tilly talking to me but that is it.
She was the opposit of me she was quiet, shy and weak willed. I don't know how a wolf could be like that, I had thought all wolves were strong. I must have been staring at him this whole time, crap I close my mouth and look away quickly, but not before I saw the cocky look on his face.
I start to walk out of the forest
"Aurora, you are more than welcome to stay."
I was shocked that he even knew my name. I turned and looked at him he must have seen the slight shock on my face.
"It is my duty to know the names and faces of my future pack." He says answering my unasked question.
I nod to him, not shocked that, that was the only reason he knew me.
"No thank you, I wanted this place to myself to enjoy the flowers and to think."
"To think about what." he asked
"That is none of your business." I replied snarky again.
"Ah back to the snarkiness, well what is your favourite flower?"
"They don't have them here unfortunaly but Calla Lilies." I say and walk away back the way I came.
I was feeling hungry now, so I decide to go to the local food joint and get me the biggest burger they have on their menu, that comes with chips and I order a latte to go with it, instead of my usual coke.
I go find a little table to myself. I sit there waiting for my burger looking around at the other people here, sipping on my hot latte. They are mainly all wolves, just a few humans here, but they didn't know what we were. My burger comes and I couldn't wait to dig in.
I am sat at the table after just finishing the burger thinking it was a bad idea as my jeans were now digging into my stomach and I might need someone to roll me home I was that full.
As I was just sat there Dax walked in with his girlfriend Shanaya and his best friend Benson. He has his arm wrapped around her. It was obvious they were meant to be together she was the feamle beauty to his male beauty. Long blond hair half way down her back and piercing blue eyes and the perfect body.
Benson was a huge arse, who used his brute strength to try get what he wants, he was always a big bully at school.
Them walking in was my cue to leave. As I was walking past their table Dax stopped me by holding my arm.
"You following me Aurora?"
"If I am not mistaken I was here first so that would mean you are following me." I pulled my arm out of his hand and carried on walking away. Future Alpha or not I don't take no ones shit.
As I walked away I could hear Shanaya saying "Who does she think she is, why on earth would you follow her, have you seen the state of her." I turn around at the same time Dax looks at me. I just walk away, thinking it best if I don't hit Shanaya when she could probably kick my arse.
I txt Lisa and Benji
"Do you fancy sleeping at mine tonight. Film, popcorn and hotchocolate?"
I got a reply in seconds off both of them
"Be there." From Benji
"I am so in, on my way." Lisa replies
I smile knowing I had the best friends ever.
I get home and get the popcorn in the microwave, as that is popping away in the background I pour some milk into a pan and wait for it to boil and stir in the chocolate and pour it into the three cups I had laid out. popcorn ready and in a bowl and hot chocolate steaming away, I go into the living room and place the big cushions and blankets on the floor.
You see this is one of our traditions that we have been doing since we were little. I met Benji when I was six and he introduced me to to his friend Lisa and since then all three of us have been inseperable. My Mum and Dad used to do this for us and through out the years we started doing it ourselves.
Lisa walked through the door first and plonked her bag on the floor and sat down on the cushions with me.
"Yo girl." Lisa says
"Yo, Benji is on his way." I reply
Just as Benji walks through the door and dumps his bag right next to Lisa's and dives on top of us. Both of us playfully slapping at him to get off of us.
"So what we watching and where is the popcorn?" Benji asks
"Trust you to want to know where the food is." I laugh back.
We spent the rest of the night watching more films, making more popcorn and hot chocolate and ordering pizza. I had to order a sepereate one as my favourite is ham and pineapple and Lisa and Benji thought I was disgusting for eating pineapple on a pizza. We fell asleep laid on the floor together.
"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, kn
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
