Every Rose

My name is Alexandria Rivers. I am 17 years old. I am the daughter of Joyce & Edward Rivers, Beta's to Alpha Brian Jackson of the Green Wood pack. My brother, Tyler Rivers, is best friends with the future Alpha Mason Jackson, and also next in line to become Beta. Alpha Brian and Luna Samantha have always been very kind to me. Mason and I began dating in middle school, and Luna Samantha has been teaching me how to be a Luna, in case Mason and I are mates. I finally get to shift and find my mate in 1 week. I'm really hoping Mason is my mate. My mother says that with the mate bond, you can feel what she described as "Sparks" when you touch your mate. Mason and I have both noticed a tingling sensation when we touch. So, hopefully that's something."Mason!" I yelled as I ran up and wrapped my arms around him. He quickly scooped me up and spun me around, gently setting me back on my feet and kissing me."Well, Hello There, Alex. What are you up to today?" Mason asked. I

I haven't seen or heard from Mason in a week. I've been so worried, I didn't even realize it was my birthday until I heard my wolf. 'Hello, Alexandria. I'm May, your wolf.' I was jumping for joy. I finally got my wolf! 'Hello May! It's nice to finally meet you!' I replied. I could feel May in my head pacing back and forth.'Is something wrong, May?' I questioned. I've heard many things about wolfs, but my mom told me that our wolves really only get anxious if something is wrong, mainly with our mates. 'Something feels wrong. But please, ignore me. I'm very glad to have finally come to you.'I was walking towards the pack house, when I smelled something so delicious, my mouth started watering. It smelled like freshly baked cupcakes. My favorite. As I started getting closer, May started talking to me. 'It's mate, but something is wrong. Find mate!' I rushed into the pack house and ran into Luna Samantha. "Oh goddess! I'm so sorry Lu

Finally. After hours of walking and sulking, I finally made it. I could see the pack territory gates just up ahead. I sighed contently as I approched the gates. A warrior walked up to me. He was about 6'5, covered in scars, and just overall scary as hell looking."What is your business here?" He questioned me. I stood silent for a moment until answering."I-i'm here to see my Aunt.... Tara Rivers..." I shakingly said. His eyes widened, and he nodded. "Please, go right in. I will have the Beta meet you in front of the pack house to escort you to your aunts house." He put his hand out towards the gate as it started opening. I gave him a smile smile and nodded my head as a thank you. As I walked into the territory, I realized how much bigger it was than ours. The pack house was atleast 8 stories tall. There was a pool, lit up with beautiful neon colors. I could see a park where all the pups could play and have fun. It literally looks like a pack

Alexandria POV:"Wait wait wait. Let me get this straight." My Aunt says, pacing back and forth. She had a scowl on her face. I knew she would be pissed. "So you're telling me..." She started. She stopped for a second, listening to something. She shook her head then continued. "You're telling me, that Mason was cheating on you for Goddess knows how long, and then when you find out he's your mate, he let another she-wolf mark him?!" My Aunt was boiling. I could feel the anger radiating off of her. I nodded my head and looked at the floor. My cheeks turning red. I was embarassed. I spent years saying nothing but good things about Mason, and sticking up for him when everyone was telling me even though he's the future Alpha, he's no good for me. And now here I am. I felt small. I wasn't good enough for my mate. I just wanted to crawl into a hole and die.I was lost in thought when my aunt suddenly grabbed my jaw and made me look at her."Alex! I kno

JOYCE POVEdward and I were at the training grounds almost all day. My body was tired and sore, I'm getting too old of this. Honestley, I can not wait for Tyler to take over as Beta. At least then Edward and I could finally retire and get some rest. Being a Beta female wasn't all that easy. The constant training, helping Luna Samantha out with her duties, being there for every pack event and not being able to just sit back and relax, and always being on alert in case something happened.As much as I disliked Mason, our future Alpha, I did truly hope he was Alexandrias' mate. She was head over heels for him. They've been together for a while now. Honestly, even though he was our future Alpha, he was no good for my daughter. I've seen the way he looks at other she-wolves. And everyone knows that he's cheated on my daughter before. My poor Alex has spent so many nights crying over him. Yet, she still acts like he is the most important person in the world.
