Chapter 3

"Mom I've tried on like 20 dresses and still didn't like any why will this store be different?"

"Come on we have to get one today you are going to have to like something. Let's try something you have never had before something different it will be your birthday and there will be lots of other packs there you could find your mate."

"Ugh fine but if I don’t t like anything here I'll just wear last years dress."

Mom nods then grabs some dresses and talks to one of the lady's that have come up to help us. I try on four dresses a yellow one that made me feel like big bird so that was a no. A blue one that was cute but I don't want cute I'm not going to prom. Then a red dress that was a ball gown and I did not what a ball gown they are to heavy. The sale lady looks at me and gets bright eyes and rushes to the back. She comes back with a black dress bag. "I hope you won't mind but we just got this in and I think it will be perfect for you."

After she hangs it in the changing room I pull it out and I'm in love it's black velvet floor length with a sweetheart neckline but has a slit up the side. It's elegant with a little sexy. I put it on and it fits like a glove it's spaghetti strap and once I have it on I can see that the back is completely open. I walk out to show mom knowing this is it.

"Kate oh my goddess you look amazing!" The sales lady is all smiles she was right it is perfect.

"That is the one we will take it please!"

I'm giggling as mom talks.

"You look so grown up you are truly beautiful baby girl you have become a stunning woman and everyone at the festival is going to be in awe."

I look at myself once more and get a grin on my face she is right I'm hot in this dress and no one will stop me from looking for my mate even with out a wolf for help.

We stop at the food court to eat, mom goes to grab food as I find a table. I'm sitting relaxing when I hear a high pitch voice behind me.

"Look who it is! The loser of the pack the girl with no wolf."

Brittany great I just had to run in to her. I turn around to see her and her posse. Standing 5'8 with platinum blond hair and tight fitting clothes that leave nothing to imagine she is pure evil. I like to call her queen bitch but in truth she is the Alphas daughter and was my friend tell I turned 15 and didn't get my wolf then she just picked on me.

"What is a lowlife like you doing here?"

She is glaring at me like I'm not allowed in the mall.

"Well I don't know if anyone told you but this is a public place where people go shopping I know it's hard to understand with all the bleach you have had put in your hair you probably have no brain cells left." I just can’t help myself I love to see her face turn red when she is mad she looks like a tomato.

"You little bitch I'm going to rip your throat out."

I laugh out loud hard now I must look crazy. Finally I look at her

"Seriously you couldn't even touch me if I had my hands tied up. You don't ever train and never have. You have now clue how to even rip someone's throat out."

"Oh ya just you watch!"

I'm so ready for this I want her to come at me when she does I can claim self defense and kick her ass. But I forgot mom was with me and she is the real badass.

"Brittany touch my daughter and I'll claw your eyes out and shove them in your mouth!"

Mom walks up behind her as the female beta she has to obey mom. I can see her eyes go wide as she knows mom is behind her, she turns.

“I'm sorry Beta Lacy I don't know what came over me.”

She is fumbling trying to figure out how to make my mom not tell her father.

"Get out of my sight or your father will here about this."

"Yes ma'am."

I watch her scurrying away fast with her posse behind her.

Just then mom gives me a look, crap I'm in trouble too.

"I don't know why you have to push her buttons."

"Mom you know she always starts it and I hate her all she has ever done is be mean to me even in high school. She is the main reason I graduated a year earlier."

" No you graduated because you are extremely smart and you are a better person then her so just ignore her."

I roll my eyes and follow my mother out of the mall back to my truck.

We get home and it's about 2 o'clock I have training at 3 with the warriors.

" Mom I'm going to change and hang my dress up then head to training I want to get a run in first."

" Ok dear I will see you there."

Training is mandatory at least once a week but my family all train each day. Mom and dad always made sure and I love training so I don’t mind. Mom was a female warrior before she met dad and even after becoming female beta she still trains most of the females. I go to my room and put on my burgundy sports bra and leggings with my black Nike's. I put my hair in a braid so it's out of the way then head out the door. I start my pre-training run.

When I get to the training center I look for Sarah my best friend we have been friends for as long as I can remember. She is sitting on a mat stretching and I go over to join her. “Hey Kate where we’re you this afternoon.”

“Sorry the family did my birthday party this morning then mom made me go shopping for my dress for this weekend.”

“Oh cool did you get one?”

“As a mater of fact I did.”

“Finally! What color is it? How long? Does it have sleeves?”

I have to grab her shoulders and make her look at me to stop the rapid fire question’s.

“Goddess woman it's black full length velvet spaghetti strap with and open back and slit up the side.”

“Sorry can you blame me I’ve been trying to get you to go shopping for weeks now.”

I feel bad now I know she has been trying to get me to go and I haven’t because for once in my life I’m afraid. Afraid I won’t find my destined mate.

“I know I’m sorry you know I’m nervous now can we start training?”

With that she hops up and into a ready stance.
