Luna Imperfecta

Jewels POV 

Today is a very rainy day, I love days like this, the rain feels as though it’s cleansing the world as it falls and washes away, well my human side loves the rain, Jade my wolf, not so much as the feel of wet fur and the smell of wet dog is not a sexy look or feel at all. I am kind of bummed that today of all days is my birthday and it's raining like crazy but the Pack is going nuts because today the Alphas son Drew will be returning from his two-year training and re-join the rest of us at school along with his chosen Beta Jahmal, yippiee note the sarcasm but Jade seems kind of uneasy and excited at the same time for some reason, I on the other hand cannot be bothered, as I doubt he’d be any different to the others that like to poke fun at me for no reason.

I do have to admit that Drew is indeed good looking but not my cup of coffee plus he's a man whore first of all and total jerk, to me at least.

Pardon my manners for just starting my rant without even introducing myself, my name is Jewel Stuart, today is my nineteenth birthday, I have red hair and green eyes compliments of my mom, I am the eldest of four children, my other siblings look like our dad while I look like my mom, which makes them say I'm my parent’s favourite which I'm sure isn't true! I am a warrior just like them, so we have a lot more in common, which also makes me fairly well built and kind of sort of a tom-boy, rough around the edges and stuff but I’m sure you get the picture.

I like wearing loose comfy clothing because it keeps unnecessary attention off me and keeps my curves hidden, I'm not one of the attentions seeking type of female in case you hadn't noticed, I am very well built with a beautiful body shape and perfect curves and butt which obviously no one notices because even when I train, I wear track pants and t-shirts rather than sports bra and tights like the other girls do. The girly girls of the pack say I probably don't have a mate and if I do, they are sure it'd be a woman, but I Can't be bothered honestly whether I have a mate or not, I mean I'm a whole year late in regards to that, most people find their mates after their eighteenth birthday and today is my nineteenth so.

My sisters Lacey and Lana are quite popular in school even though they are younger than I am, they also have lots of friends and most people found it hard at first to believe that we're related let alone sisters because they are blonde with blue eyes and I am a red head with green eyes, they are feminine and prissy and I am rough and rugged, no make-up, no heels... nada! anyway back to the matter at hand.

It's 7:10 AM and I am showered, dressed and everything, I’m headed down stairs to have my breakfast then head out to school which is is a 20-minute drive from our house as we do not live in the pack house because my parents like privacy and I love it, especially since I don’t have to be bothered by hundreds of people at a time buzzing around all the time and long lines when it's time for food, plus pack blunts live in the pack house, I'm not sure I'd be able to keep Jade at bay if I see and hear them 24/7 like that, just thinking about that is bringing on a headache.

I make my way to the kitchen my dad is the first to scoop me up and kiss me on my cheek wishing me happy birthday, he then gives me my gift and then puts me down, my mom hugs me and does the same followed by my siblings. My mom goes all out when it's any of our birthdays at breakfast and dinner, she loves cooking, and so do I which may be the only feminine trait I possess that my sisters do not.

Today is chocolate chip with blueberry pancakes with ham, eggs, bacon, and sausage my my, I top it off with Orange Juice and a nice cup of Cocoa with whipped cream, by the time we are all done is 7:35 AM, I quickly helped my mom clean up then headed to my car, I guess I'll have to break a few speeding limits, I snort to myself because I know damn well we have no such things here at our pack, at any pack for that matter but I will drive like a maniac to make it to school on time.

Right time to rally the children.

" Kids! let's get goinggggg! " I shout to my siblings; they hate it when I call them that haha! they scurry out the door one by one and into my Audi, we zoom off to school barely making it! 7:52 AM and we sprint to our various classes just as the bell rings after saying bye to each other.

 later that day  

It's lunch time now and I make my way into our school cafeteria, seeing as I had a big breakfast I'm not exactly hungry, So I only have a bottled Water with two slices of Pizza and make my way to my usual table, just after sitting down my siblings join me, for some reason they always eat lunch with me, it makes me feel like a bit of charity case but I know they do it out of love as no one other than the other warriors I train and work with would associate with me and they have lunch at a different hour due to their courses, either way I love my little ones for being so considerate of me although it is unnecessary but ohhh well.

The constant gossip that started last week about Drew and Jahmal returning this evening is going even stronger than before * roll eyes *... the Queen pack blunt is the center of this conversation. I have no idea how and why my sisters tolerates let alone hangs out with her, not that I'm eavesdropping or anything but my wolfy hearing allows me to hear persons conversations even when I don’t mean to or want to.

" OMG guys! I cannot wait for them to return, I bet they are both so big and buff in all the right places " they all giggle *gag *  .

" But still Quinn, how can you be so sure either of them will go for you? what if they want to wait for their mates? "

" ohpaleazeee Jamie! have you seen me? Us? who can resist all of this? Plus I for sure know that Drew is definitely not waiting for his mate as I have already ridden that horse more than once but that was years ago so I can only imagine now "

" Well I hear you, but back then they were not of age to sense their mates but now they are so you never know " 

" Don’t you worry about that because I am certain that I will be Drews mate and who knows perhaps one of you may be Jahmal's and the other Dukes’, we’ll be Alpha, Beta and Gamma females! Wouldn't that be just amaze-balls?! "

" Of bloody course it would "

I couldn't help but chuckle and ended up choking on my water a bit, this she wolf thinks herself to be the goddess of beauty and seduction, I can feel their eyes on me  probably glaring holes in my back by now but they won't say anything in my sibling's presence because they don't want to lose friendships, but Lacey gives me a light tap on my nose and mouth "BEHAVE" to me while stifling a smile of her own and I send a playful glare her way, they've tried their luck with my brother Jace but my parent's raised him, all of us well and respectfully so he's never taken any of them or any female serious in that sense, thank Goddess for that!

After having lunch we all walk out of the cafeteria at the same time but begin branching off to head to our individual classes " you know, it's not nice to eavesdrop on people's conversation Jewel " Quinns annoying voice rings out behind me " tell you what Quinn, at those moments when you don't want others to hear your birdie voice and ceaseless banter, please do the world a favor and use your mind link to speak to each other hmm? I know I most certainly would appreciate that kind gesture, I am after all a were wolf and what do were wolves have? heightened senses that's what "

I roll my eyes and continue on to my class " stupid dyke! " I suppose that's the best her Two and a half brain cells could come up with, they must have hugged each other really hard to achieve that one.

None of my siblings say anything as I have told them more than once never to get into anything between myself and these idiots as I most certainly can handle them on my own, this time however I really don't have the time to spare or the excess energy to even turn back let alone answer their dumb remark, so we all kept on walking.

" Such a pity you didn't take after your sisters, soft and delicate rather being rough and manly so that no one here would want you for a mate! " Quinn snickered and her two goons joined in and laughed, my brother angrily turned and shouted "hey! you ju-" " it's fine Jace, what have I told you? " " yes I know what you said Jewy but come on! I can not ignore this! " " like I said, it's fine for I'd much rather be rough and manly and be able to fight, defend, be tactical and protect myself than having to run and cower away and depend on another person to keep me safe, who may or may not even be able to do so, so as I said, it's totally fine, let's head out before we're late for class " 

I cast a glance at my sisters just to make sure they aren't offended at my statement and I see that they aren't and are actually smiling. We head out and go our separate ways to our classes for the afternoon, I had class with one of the goons but on her own she never says a word to me nor even breathes in my direction, they both need to be in Quinns' presence to have backbone and neck, it is what it is really.
