Chapter One.

"Sasha's POV:

‘Wake up darling… it's almost 2 in the afternoon’ my mother said, waking me up from my beauty sleep. ‘Mom, 10 more mins, I replied to her while covering my head with my pillow.’ Sasha Lina Vanders, it is a beautiful day out there and you are wasting it away by sleeping.

Urggghh, my mother is one of those parents that wants you to enjoy the beauty of what  nature has got to offer. Instead of being cooped up all day on your phone, she would rather you be out there having a picnic and basking in the warmth of the sun. She shook me again, harder this time…’okay, okay I'm up’ with my hands up in surrender. She just shakes her head and laughs, turning on her heels while I follow suit out of my room.

Following her down to the kitchen, my father was already seated at  the table, ready for lunch? Oh yeah, I slept through the morning so I missed breakfast. ‘Good morning Dad’, I greeted ,giving him a hug while he looked at me with a funny face, smiling, ‘you mean Good afternoon'’? He corrected me and of course I giggled. 

My dad is 6 '4 and has a lot of muscle, I mean, he is the Alpha. He always has a serious face on,if you do not know him well, you would think he is the scariest person in the room and probably be afraid of him but then, if you know him ,you would realize that he is the sweetest person ever with such a big heart. But don't get on his bad side, he can turn to one big bad Alpha real quick.

My mother is 5”8 with very beautiful brown hair cascading her shoulders with matching brown eyes. She is kind, beautiful and like my father,has the biggest heart. Her smile could literally light up the whole room when she walks in. 

After having lunch, I decided to do just as my mom had suggested and make the most of the beautiful day… I decided to go drag my best friend Emelda to enjoy the beautiful day with me. We decided to let our wolf out for a run in the garden. Mel was a beautiful 5’6 girl with a cropped shoulder length, sandy blonde hair with emerald eyes. Her wolf was also sandy blonde with emerald eyes.

As for me, I am 5”5 with a really long mixture of brown and black hair with brown eyes while my wolf is gray with white ears, paws and a little white on the tip of her tail. We are both 18 yards old and haven't found our mate yet. I know one day I'm going to find my Knight in shining armour but for now, let me enjoy the company of my best friend running in our wolf form under the sun.

Hey Sasha, my wolf Lina (yes our wolves have their own names,and most times it is always our middle names except on rare occasions where they have a different name entirely) called out while we were chasing Mel, damn that girl is very fast. Yes Lina what's up, you sound edgy girl, are you okay? I responded. I'm not sure why I feel this way but I feel like something is going to happen. Just keep your guard up. ‘Okay’ was my response. 

The run was great, both for us as humans and for our wolves too. Mel and I decided to go back to the pack house to see everyone as well as refuel our energy back up with food. The pack house was opened for anyone in the pack to move in but if any pack member desires privacy or just wants a place to call their own, then they can build a house. Like my family, it is just Dad, Mum and I, which means that I'm next in line to be Alpha only when daddy retires or I'm ready to take over  seeing as I am the only child. But then, I'm in no rush to be one at all. 

I do have my own room in the pack house as well. Our pack consists of 500 werewolves but that is actually small in comparison to other packs. We were one of those peaceful packs, though we had alliances but we tried to stay neutral. 

Walking into the packhouse, we were greeted by my father's beta, Alex. He smiled at us and gave Mel a hug, ooh I forgot to mention that my best friend is the Beta's daughter. Unlike me who is an only child, she has an older brother named Kyle 23 and he was the future beta. 'Where are you headed, Pops?’ Mel asked her father. 'Pack business, take care of yourself sweetie, see you later at home’ her father replied waving goodbye to the both of us. 

"Weird , my father has been working a lot these past weeks,wondering what pack business he has going on that has got him so overwhelmed.’ Mel said out loud. ‘Now that you mentioned it, my dad has been busy too, today was the first time in weeks that I have seen him come home for lunch.’ I also replied out loud. We brushed it off and headed straight to the kitchen. Grabbing some cookies and other snacks we could find, we stuffed our faces and thanked the Pack chef for the treat. We headed down to the game room where our other friends were.

‘You fucking cheater’ Sam said after he lost to me for the third time in a game of Mortal Kombat. ‘How can I cheat in this stupid easy game, stop being a sore loser. Just admit you lost to a girl.’ I replied while sticking my tongue out to him. ‘Sasha, you cheated and I'm not admitting anything you stinking cheater’, Sam said while flipping his middle finger to me. That asshole, I stood up from the couch ready to throw the game console at him but Mel came in the middle of us, shaking her head, ‘you guys know this is just a fucking game right’,she said lifting her eyebrows up with a grin. She was always the peace maker. We all continued playing the play station until it was dinner time. 

We all decided to have dinner at the pack house rather than go to our various houses to eat seeing how famished we were after a series of game marathons. ‘Hey, are you going to go home after dinner or stay at the pack house tonight?’, Mel asked me. ‘I don't know, what about you?’ I asked her too. We looked at each other and as if we practiced, squealed and screamed ‘Slumber party’. Got my room in the pack house ready with a lot of junk foods and had N*****x on. My room was one of the biggest rooms in the pack house, one of the perks of being the Alpha's daughter. We both got in under our blankets, ready to continue from where we stopped watching the Season 4 of ‘Stranger Things’. Tonight was going to be a great night…or so I thought.
