I was unpleasantly surprised when I came downstairs. Sienna was standing in my kitchen looking at me like she wanted to kill me.
She is my brother’s and Alpha’s best friend. She is 25, just like my brother and Alpha, and she has been hanging out with them since childhood. Now, she is clinging on to them like they are a lifeboat. She was devastated when she found out that neither my brother nor Alpha were her mates. That didn’t stop her from trying to become Luna. She is always around Alpha, proving herself and trying to convince him to take her as his chosen mate.
Werewolves can do that. If their mate dies or they don’t find their true mate, they can take a chosen one. It is frowned upon, especially in our pack, because we take mates very seriously. Most packs do, actually. But some have a milder attitude toward chosen mates.
Sienna was tall, blonde, and perfect. Her make up was always on point. Her hair was always combed and styled to perfection. But she destroyed all that with the way she behaved. She was bitchy, mean, and disrespectful. She hated me and treated me like I was trash. But only when we were alone. When we were around my brother or Alpha, she was a totally different person. She was nice to me, and she once told my brother that I was like a little sister to her. Yuck. I tried telling my brother about her, but he didn’t believe me. He told me I was jealous of her and how much time they spent together.
“Sienna.” I said coldly and grabbed a mug from a cupboard.
“Good morning, ugly.” she said and smirked. “It must be good to sleep as long as you do.”
“Maybe you should try it to.” I said as I poured coffee into my mug. “You need as much beauty sleep as you can get.”
I turned towards her with a smirk on my face. She was pissed.
“You little bitch.” she said through her teeth. “I will become Luna soon and I will exile you so soon you will not be able to blink.”
She always did this. She threatened to exile me when she would become a Luna. I knew she would actually do it, and I could only hope she didn’t become a Luna.
I wanted to say something back, but I heard the front door open. My brother and our Alpha walked into our kitchen. Sienna quickly put on the biggest fake smile on her face.
I rolled my eyes. How didn’t anybody see how fake she was?
“Good morning, little one.” my brother said and kissed my forehead.
That was his favorite nickname for me. I was small, smaller than any wolf my age, and he liked to point that out. Especially because he was huge. 6’4, and had muscles all over his body, just like Alpha.
We looked a lot alike. We both had brown hair and bright blue eyes. He was more tanned than me, though. I inherited my mom’s pale complexion. I wa out in the sun all the time, but I couldn’t seem to get tanned.
“Good morning, Andrew. Good morning, Logan.” I said and smiled.
I get to call Alpha by his first name only in the privacy of our homes. On other occasions, I must refer to him as Alpha. Or Alpha Logan.
Sienna didn’t like that. She gave me an ‘I will kill you’ look over their shoulders.
“Good morning, Emma.” Logan said as he sat at our kitchen table.
“What are your plans today, Em?” Andrew asked as he poured coffee for himself and Logan.
“Nothing much.” I responded. “I have a training session in an hour and then I will just hang out with Amy and Jacob.”
“Tomorrow is your first shift. Are you excited?” Logan asked me and took his coffee mug from my brother.
“Yes.” I said and smiled brightly. “I can’t wait to meet my wolf.”
“Maybe you will find your mate, Emma.” Sienna said coldly. “And maybe we will lose you to him tomorrow.”
She gave a fake sad look to my brother. Goddess, they were so blind if they didn’t see through her act.
“Don’t worry, Sienna.” my brother said. “She will always be our little sister. No mate will take that away from us.”
I wanted to scream and throw up. She was not my sister! She was a fake bitch who couldn’t wait to get rid of me! But I couldn’t say anything, so I just gave him a fake smile.
“After your shift, you can start working at a pack house.” Logan said. “You went to high school to work at the pack office, right?”
“I did.” I said and smiled. “I can’t wait to start working.”
“Good.” Logan said and smiled.
He was handsome, even more when he smiled. And that was rare. He was usually very serious and focused only on his job as an Alpha. He always did what’s best for his pack. That was why he was so successful.
He was as tall and as muscular as my brother. Maybe even more. The alpha and beta of the pack were always the strongest wolves. And it always showed. You could always see who alpha and beta were. He had dark blonde hair and green eyes. His jaw and his nose were chiseled perfectly, and his lips looked soft. He was hot. No wonder Sienna was all over him.
She drooled after my brother as well but being Beta’s mate wasn’t good enough for her. Although, if my brother took her as his chosen mate, she would accept that as well. She was only after the title and power. Too bad they couldn’t see that.
A doorbell interrupted my thoughts. Jacob was here.
“Is that Jacob?” my brother asked.I nodded and put the mug in the dishwasher.“I will see you tonight. Goodbye, Logan. Sienna” I said and gave my brother a kiss on the cheek.Logan smiled at me, and Sienna gave me a cold stare. Bitch.I walked out of the kitchen and opened the front door. My friend Jacob was standing there, smiling at me.I always had a crush on him. I still do. He is handsome, tall, muscular and has black hair. His dark brown eyes look like a pool of chocolate. And I love chocolate. Sometimes I wish he would be my mate. We would be great together, and I know he likes me. He told me himself.We never dated or even talked about it. We saved ourselves for our mates. It isn’t forbidden to have sex with others, but it is frowned upon, mostly by our pack elders. The rest of the pack agrees that we should wait for our mates but turns away when they see someone dating outside of a mate bond. Not all of us saved ourselves for our mates, though. I know for a fact that my brot
‘Good morning, Emma.’I turned towards the door to greet my brother, but nobody was standing there. I am alone. But whose voice was that?‘It is me, silly. Your wolf.’I flinched. Of course, it is my birthday. I got my wolf today. It is weird, though, to hear a voice inside my head.‘You will get used to it.’ A voice said.‘It will take some time.’ I responded.‘We have all the time in the world.’ My wolf said.‘What is your name?’ I asked her.‘Eliza.’ ‘I like it.’ I told her. ‘I know you do, Emma. Now, get up and go spend the day with your brother. Asher has already sensed my presence, and he can’t wait to meet me.’ She said.I got up excited and full of energy. I can’t wait to see Eliza.I brushed my teeth, showered, and put on sweats and a hoodie. Perfect for a lazy birthday day with my brother.When I came downstairs, Andrew had already made pancakes. It was our traditional birthday breakfast. “Happy birthday, Emma!” he yelled and gave me a big hug. “Asher sensed Eliza. He is
A few moments later, I was standing on all fours, my white fur shimmering under the moonlight. I took a deep breath and lifted my head proudly.My friends and family turned around and gasped.“She is white.” Luna Gloria said.I looked at her and cocked my wolf head. Is that something special?‘We are a pure white wolf, Emma. Nobody is a pure white wolf.’ Eliza said.‘What do you mean?’ I asked her. ‘There are white wolves. I have seen them before.’‘Yes. But none of them are pure white.’ She said proudly. ‘They all have a spot in a different color, or their paws are different. We are all white.’“What does that mean?” Amy asked quietly.“I don’t know.” my brother said, not taking his eyes off of my wolf. “But she is beautiful.”“She is.” Jacob said quietly.I looked at him and immediately felt disappointed. No sparks. No connection. He is not my mate.‘We are not his.’ Eliza said. ‘We belong to somebody else.’ ‘What do you mean, Eliza?’ I asked, surprised. ‘Do you know who our mate i
I looked at my watch and saw that it was 11 pm. Who was here this late?I removed the covers and went toward my bedroom door. I opened them in time to hear my brother’s voice.“Logan?” he said. “What are you doing here?”“Where is she? Where is Emma?” Logan asked nervously.His voice was the most amazing sound I have ever heard. It was like music to my ears. What was wrong with me? It never sounded like that before. It must have been because I was tired.But he sounded cold, rushed. I didn’t know why he was asking for me, but I had a feeling that I was in trouble. But I didn’t do anything wrong. “Emma?” my brother asked. “She is sleeping. Why?”I could hear surprise and confusion in his voice.I started walking toward the stairs and was instantly hit with the most amazing smell, pine needles and snow. It smelled like a winter forest.‘Mate!’ Eliza screamed in my head.‘What?!’ I asked and froze. ‘It is Logan, Emma. He is our mate. Go to him.’ Eliza said, excited.Logan? The Alpha? H
Logan POVI wanted to reject her on the spot. But when I saw her standing there on the stairs, I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t say those words.I saw that she was happy when she looked at me. She wanted to go to me. But she saw my cold stare and she stopped herself. Goddess, she was beautiful. I always thought that she was pretty and hot, but now that she was my mate, she was even more beautiful than before. She smelled like strawberries and watermelon. Her long brown hair was falling freely down her back and her blue eyes were an ocean I want to swim in. Her lips were perfect. Her small body was perfect. Every curve was made for me. I just wanted to touch her.I clenched my fists to stop myself. I shut Leon out completely because he would kill me for what I was about to do. He was so happy when we smelled her. I didn’t want him to see this. I would deal with him later.I was relieved when Andrew told her to go upstairs. I would be able to think clearly now that she wasn't here. I cou
Emma POVI never thought I could feel this much pain and survive. My whole body is trembling, and my soul is in pieces. There is a huge hole in my heart, and I don’t think I will ever be able to fix it.My mate doesn’t want me. I am not good enough.My brother thinks I am weak.My mate rejected me. He will have a new Luna, and I will have to look at them every day. I don’t know how I came home. I don’t remember the path. Pain clouded my vision.I left Logan and Andrew in the forest, and I just started running away. I couldn’t go back to the cave. I didn’t want them to find it. It would mean that I wouldn’t be safe there anymore.We always used masking spray before coming into the cave. But Andrew and Logan came close to finding it. I guess it was because of the mate bond. Logan could smell me better.I started walking to my room. I shut the door and locked it. I didn’t want to see my brother. I didn’t want to talk to him. I wanted to be alone. I laid on my bed and stared at the ce
Logan POVWho the hell is this Jacob guy? It has been bugging me since this morning. I mean, I know that he is one of my best warriors and he is Emma’s friend. But why is he so attentive to my mate?‘She is not yours anymore.’ Leon growled. ‘You rejected her, remember?’I ignored him. He’s been doing that the whole morning. He has been reminding me of what I did and pushing me away.I called my head of patrol in my office. I will find out everything I can about this Jacob guy.He was quick. He got to my office in a matter of minutes.“Alpha.” he addressed me. “You wanted to see me?”“Yes.” I said and sat at my desk. “Thank you for coming here on such short notice, Lewis.”“It wasn’t a problem.” he said and smiled. “What can I do for you, Alpha?”“What can you tell me about a warrior named Jacob?” I asked.“Jacob Walters?” he asked.I nodded and waited for him to go on.“Well, he is an amazing young man.” he said. “One of our best warriors. He is strong, a very quick learner and the ot
Emma POVI felt Logan’s eyes on me the entire night. I didn’t look up at him once. Every time Jacob touched me, there was a low, menacing growl coming from his direction. What the hell was his problem? He was the one who rejected me. He was the one who was sitting there with his new mate and future Luna.Before they came to the diner, I told Amy and Jacob about me and Logan.They were shocked to hear that he had rejected me and that he had chosen Sienna as his mate. They knew all about her and they were the only ones who believed me. She was a bitch to them as well, so it wasn’t hard for them to believe that I was telling the truth about her. “I want to kill her for doing that to your hand, beautiful.” Jacob said quietly. “It’s okay, Jake.” I said. “I will heal.”“No, it is not okay, Emmy.” Amy whined. “She hurt you. Until now she only used her words, but I am afraid of how far she is willing to go now.”“Amy is right.” Jake nodded. “She hates the fact that you are Logan’s mate. I
