"A measure of a man, is what he does with Power."
To find a mate...to feel a mate...
I've only understood certain things in life...like what Dad thinks is right, and what Landon thinks is right.
Dad wants the simple route.
He wants me to find a mate, who isn't necessarily rich, or powerful, but kind and generous. Landon thinks I shouldn't mate at all.
Landon and I have been friends for a considerable amount of time. We meet secretly, because Dad doesn't trust him. I've crushed on the nerdy guy for years now, but tonight, things will change...
He's going to shift, and become my new Alpha. With all the female choice he has, there is no way he will pick me to be his mate.
And as I sit, staring at a picture of us, so happy in the field we meet in everyday, I feel excited to see him, but nervous.
I set the photograph down, and turn, shutting our gleaming faces out. I lean against the table, and breath in the scent of last night's dinner. He's probably waiting for me...
I leap forward, snatch my coat from the hook, and slip out the door.

I push through the long grass, ignoring the sting and itch is gave my legs. I could feel my thighs burn with the exertion. I could see his figure, not far off. He stumbled closer, but his ankle go caught in a long piece of grass, and tripped over face first.Seeing him brings a smile to my face everytime. It's not just the friendship we share, but the deeper feeling that has been growing for 5 years now. Of course, he sees me as just a friend, and I'm pretty positive he always will. But I continue to hang to every moment we get together, while neither of us are mated.I burst out laughing, as I flopped down beside him. He sat up, rubbing his forehead. He looked up at me through thick rimmed glasses, giving me a lopsided smile. His smile seems to light up more than the massive globe that slowly lights up the sky. The grass sways around us in the slight breeze, brushing against my covered arms."Graceful," I comment, letting my chuckl

~AltheaI pull my hand from Missy's sweaty grasp, rubbing it down the side of my dress. Her moral support is nice, but she is adamant about finding Landon. Sometimes I think she sees more faith in Landon and I's relationship than I do, personally."I'm supposed to be looking for Cyrus," I argue, as Missy drags me through a tight crowd of dancing people. We have just arrived, and it's just past midnight. Landon is no where to be seen, and neither is my supposed date. I'm hardly nervous about meeting Cyrus. I'm slightly tempted to shoo him in the direction of another girl, and I know Missy would feel obliged to help out."Stuff Cyrus, we have an Alpha to look for," she dismissed. I stop, yanking her back. I wanted to check on Landon, I mean he's my best friend. But, he's probably dealing with other important things at the moment. And anyway, this will be a tense time for his family, and

~Althea I sit, the long grass surrounding me. I run my fingers through it, my eyes gazing out across the extensive space, looking for him. I've never felt so lonely in my life, as I sit here, wondering what I had done. An anger inside of me is brewing, and a kind of disappointment. I thought he was supposed to be my best friend...This is the fifth morning since Landon's birthday, and not once have I seen him. We are supposed to meet here every morning, but I guess he has bigger priorities. He promised, which was the worst thing for my feelings. He said that we were supposed to meet here as long as we were friends.I don't know what has empowered me to continue coming here, to wait for him. Obviously I'm beyond livid, and I guess I just want to give him one last piece of my mind. If only he would show up so I could do exactly that...Suddenly a figure appears across the meadow. I watch Landon, step over the fence wires with ease. Only around a week ago, he struggled to pull his legs

~Althea"Today was...fun," Cyrus breathed gently in my ear, before moving down to lay his lips on mine. I kissed him back, mirroring his actions. Lunch couldn't have gone any better. I had learnt so much more about Cyrus; how he works, his interests and disinterests.Everything about him was almost perfect. He was courteous, sweet, kind and smart, but there was something about him that didn't fit me, that didn't seem like my mate material. "We should do it again," I offer, pulling away to smile at him. He smiles back, his lips finding mine again. I tangle my fingers through his thick black hair. His tender approach to loving was an attractive trait for him to have, making it easier to along with, but harder to resist.After our seemingly successful date, we had walked back hand and hand through the haze of the setting sun. It was rather sweet of Cyrus to walk me to my door.Suddenly the door pops open, making Cyrus pull away from me in a fright, smooth his shirt out and fold his hand

~AltheaI stumble up the final step, and push open my bedroom door. The confines of my room are cold, due to the partly open window. Everything is messy for some reason, which I guess was caused by the wind. I'm generally a tidy person.I turn and shove the door shut, but it catches on something. Annoyed, I grab my underwear and toss them behind me. Trust mother to clean clothes and leave them lying around my room at random. I lean my back against the door, taking a deep breath.I hear Landon make it to the top of the stairs with ease, and although I climb them everyday, I'm breathing heavily."Al?" I close my eyes as Landon's soothing, empathetic voice floats under the crevice of door. It had an immediate, calming effect on me, making me slump and relax against the door. He may have shown up and terrorise my family at this seemingly crucial time, but I couldn't help but admire his company."Yeah?" I breathe, blowing a stray lock of black hair from my face. I'm glad I can't see his s

~Althea I stared straight into his deep blue eyes in wonder. They were so clear and pure, with no imperfections or specs in them at all.Blushing red roses lay on the table in front of me, wrapped in purple coloured cellophane, with a ribbon strung around it. They were wilting already in the heat, dropping down over my fingers as I fondled the petals gently. It was such a nice gesture. They vivid colours clashed with the blue plaid tablecloth and green placemats."Thank you, they are beautiful," I sigh, glancing up at Cyrus. He smiles at me, glad I liked his surprise present. I felt a stab of guilt. He was so eager to please me, and I was still grasping to the fact that I could possibly be worthy of him.We were sitting near the window of a Café, enjoying iced coffees. The quaint place, decorated with floral patterns and eccentric decor, was full with only an elderly couple, and a lone business man who was discussing something casually with someone over the phone. It was seemingly ro

~Althea My hands were in the air, lights shining in my face. People were surrounded me, their thick boots crunching against by gravel. Guards...Royal Guards. Landon's Royal Guards for that matter. My heart sinks as I realise I'm in big trouble now."Back off," I snap, as someone shoves the muzzle of their gun against my cheek. I want to push the dangerously fatal weapon away from blowing my face in, but doing that will increase the chances. Everything is suddenly quiet, as they assess me. I feel myself shift like a true criminal under their scrutiny."Accessing Royal property is punishable by law," someone stated from under their mask, their muffled sounding less intimidating. I could feel Landon's note pressing against my hip. I had tucked it into the waistband of my pants as I left, and now I wanted to grab it and shove it into their faces as proof."I'm come with an...invitation of soughts," I reason. Someone lowers their gun so I can use my hands to grab the slip of paper. Not th

~Althea"Care to explain?"Landon paced in front of me, a frown etched deep into his features. I only sometimes saw him like this; all unkempt and frazzled. Not to mention his distractingly bare torso and lose fiting pajama pants. But that's hardly the major subject that needs to be covered at this point.I sat in some sort of lounge room. It was quaint, dressed in red velvet features. What was seemingly eye catching was the frame strung on the wall. It was of Landon and I, when we were younger. Mother had taken it, but I don't know how he managed to get his paws on it. But I wondered briefly whether or not his father had asked him to take it down yet."There is nothing to explain..." he dismissed, folding his hands over each other, and resting his chin in them while he continued to walk back and forth across the fur rug with his bare feet. I gave him a deadpan look, wishing I could look inside that head of his. Did he seriously think I would dismiss this, and walk home without an ex
