The beat of a pulse fills my ears, sandalwood and the smell of fresh rain after a heat wave fill my nose invading my senses, sending me wild. Desperation to find the sauce and sink my canines into his neck to make him mine, to mark my mate. I have no idea who he is, what he is like, not even a name but I don't care because I know I'll love him and he'll love me. I want him, I need him. My mate. I can feel him calling to me for me to change, to shift as a bead of cold sweat, drips down my bare back. I crouch down, my body naked and as vulnerable as the day I was born, the dry leaves crumble under my bare feet, the wet grass tangling around my fingers. My back arches ready, waiting to shift. Nothing happens. I feel a hot, steamy breath on my upper back makes me look up and I'm nose to snout with an enormous, spectacularly completely black wolf. Looking into his eyes, they are the bluest I've ever seen, like a waterfall, with white blue flicks in a perfect circular pattern around the p

Fucking hell I did it I shifted. Shame its been her who got me to finally achieve it. I knew she would take the credit though, anything to keep the praise and attention on her, but first she had to put me in my place. Not physically anymore, the surprise of the size of my wolf form reflecting in her eyes, knowing it would be too messy and hard to explain away. Even for my future status I was big and unusual colouring, red and gold fur, on off white all coming to an end at my pale paws.I was magnificent if I didn't say so myself. This of course fucked her off even more. Though she was attractive enough in both human and wolf form, it didn't hold a candle to mine. For the first time ever or since I've known her, she was speechless. Mouth wide open in surprise, still pinning her to the ground, bearing my canines, growling. Suddenly her facial expression switches as if realising she was showing me fear and shock horror. Her eyes omitting if only for a brief moment that I was better than

The next dayChilli POVI was never really a morning person but that's all changed now. My beta in waiting training was hard enough without having to be up, dress and downstairs ready to start for half seven, eight o'clock, surprisingly father didn't mind the vague starting time, he was always finishing up some business on the phone anyway so I think secretly he was glad for a slight delay. But Pauline on the other hand did. If I was a minute late I would have more chores to do in the evening before bed, she'd say"You slept in so going to bed later shouldn't be a problem with all that extra sleep you've had this morning".What this meant was whilst I was training and following my father around all day, she would be finding me the most pathetic, silly, little chores to do to keep me from my bed. So when I would really over sleep the next day, making my father wait, I would be in proper trouble, not that I could say why. That would be making excuses and a beta does not make excuses, i

Once back home, I collapse on my bed, completely exhausted. I lie here for a few moments until turning my head in the direction of my wardrobe, thinking. Then look towards my bedroom door which I left slightly ajar. I listen for a second. Sounds like Pauline's in the kitchen preparing dinner. I pull myself up, everything hurts, a shower will help sort that in a minute. I hobble over to the wardrobe my limbs and muscles are stiff from a days hard work. I gently pull open the door and sigh, looking at what my options are for tomorrow. I know what ever I wear she will make me feel stupid in or fat or ugly, the list goes on. Even the ones she picked out for me. I don't even want to touch them as I slide them out of the way. I look at the dress I mind-link to Erin about. Could I? Should I? Shit, I don't know. I pull it and hold it up to myself in the mirror. It's a figure-hugging, knee length, black lace dress with a v neckline. It was a classic style, one that never really goes out of fas

When we get there, the hall is already starting to fill with guests, Erin is on the door checking names and invites against her list. Uncle Alpha, aunt Kay and Elias are of course the welcoming committee. They all smile at me as we walk up the steps to them, as we stop for the parents to talk, I go stand by Elias, who nearly drops his jaw at the site of me."Yeah right" I glare at him "come on, don't be an ass" nudging his shoulder." No really, no joking you look .." he paused as if searching for the right adjective ".. beautiful" Tucking my hair behind my ear and trying not to blush, we both suddenly notice we are being observed. " Why are they looking at us like that?" Elias links to me. " It's ... Weird" I couldn't agree more."Yeah, I don't like it" Pauline, obviously not happy about the attention being on anyone else, especially me, coughs, pulling their eyes away from us. First time I've ever been grateful for her self-centeredness. Few hours later after we found our seats,
