Chapter 1 Reid

Reid's POV

I laughed as I looked at my masterpiece.

My sister thought it was a good idea to burn my brand-new shoes this morning, so now it's paid back time.

I took all of her precious makeup and froze it all in a solid block of ice.

Good luck getting that out, I thought as I quickly slipped out of her room and ran across the hall into mine. 

I waited patiently in my room while playing my Xbox. Fifteen minutes later I hear Izzy's bedroom door fly open, followed by the sound of her storming down the stairs before she cries out,

"Daddy! Reid froze all my makeup!" Isabel cried. 

I try not to laugh before I follow after her and race down the stairs to defend myself.

"It's not my fault, she set fire to my damn shoes!" I said.

"Only because you thought it was funny to place all my shoes in a perfect row of GIANT ICE BLOCKS!" Isabel retorts.

'That was pretty funny!' I thought to myself as I got to the bottom of the stairs.

"That's enough from both of you!" Our dad said coming out of the kitchen.

"Izzy, I don't want to hear you've burnt any more of his clothes!" Dad said sternly, giving Isabel a firm look.

"Dad, do you want me to just freeze them?" I hear our brother Maddox offer as he looks over the couch.

"We can always place them in front of the TV, then I can freeze them and force them to watch Twilight over and over again!" He said with a mischievous grin on his face.

"I will turn you into a fucking ice block!' I said, giving Maddox an angry glare. 

This little shit did that to us one night while our father and dad had a night out. We were sitting on the couch, trying to agree on a movie to watch, when Maddox thought it would be funny to freeze us and make us watch the whole fucking series! 

To make it worse, I had to piss so badly by the time our parents finally got home I almost pissed myself.

Isabel huffs, while crossing her arms over her chest. 

"I swear to Goddess, I will set all your video games on fire!" She said, giving Maddox a look that could kill.

Our father groaned coming out of the kitchen as he ran his hand down his face. 

Dad takes the easy road out and tries to make a run for the door. But not before reminding me of my big day tomorrow.

My parents have been making such a fuss over the big day... The day I turn the big "two one". 

Well, I guess an introduction to my life is due. 

Everyone tells me I look like my father Thaddeus, and it's true. I look just like him, minus all the tattoos. I have light tan skin with gray eyes. Short well kept facial hair. My hair is long, almost to my shoulders, light brown with natural blonde highlights, and a slight wave to it. 

I definitely have my father's built. I'm just a little shorter than my father at 6'10. I train and work out hard, so my body is very muscular.

My name is Reid Anderson and I'm turning 21 tomorrow. I'm the next in Alpha of the Midnight Moon Pack. 

I have two younger siblings, Maddox and Isabel, the twins. They are 16, turning 17 in 3 months.

We don't have a mother, we have two male parents. 

Thaddeus Anderson, our father, is the Alpha of the Midnight Moon pack. 

His mate, Luna, is Aiden Anderson, our dad. Our dad gave birth to us. 

For werewolves, you have dominant males and submissive males. All submissive males and females can get pregnant, dominant men can't.

The Moon Goddess Celine, creates a soulmate for every werewolf when they're born. It's the other half of their soul, made especially for them.

On your 18th birthday, a gene activates, allowing you to identify who your mate is. 

I'm 21 and still haven't found mine. Being the next in line for the title, meant I had to go away for Alpha training. I went away almost right after I turned 18. Alpha training took me two years to complete before I returned home.

My father was ready to step down and let me take over, but I wasn't ready yet. I wanted to see if I could find my mate first. I spent the next 8 months traveling, searching for my mate. Unfortunately, I ended up coming back home empty-handed.

I know my father would have preferred that I found my mate first, but it seems to be a typical occurrence for our family, to take a while to find their mate. Werewolves usually find their mate right away, but my father didn't find his mate until he was 27, and neither did my Uncle Xander.

My father's good friend Alpha Michael, whose pack borders the northwest side of our territory, didn't find his mate Noah until Michael was 28. 

So as you can see, luck doesn't seem to be on my side, when everyone around me has found their mate so late.

I think my father knows us too, which is why he's not going to wait for me to find my mate before he stands down. I think he's afraid he might have to wait another 5 years, and I know he's eager to step down and relax with my dad.

I often think of my mate, and wonder how long it'll take before I find them. I just hope it doesn't take me as long as it took them...

The magical twins... My dad and his twin sister Abigail, are what they call the magical twins. They were both gifted with special abilities. They both have telekinesis and can move things without touching them. Each has their own ability. Abigail has a blue energy that she can create with her hands and throw at enemies. My Dad's ability is fire. My dad can create, and manipulate fire with his hands. He can throw anywhere from a small stream of flames at an enemy, to large balls of fire, that explode upon impact.

My dad has an extra ability that my aunt doesn't have. He can heal people, and he once brought my father back to life. He's only brought someone back once, and it almost killed my dad. At least that's what I was told. It knocked him out for almost 3 weeks.

Myself, and my twin siblings were gifted with special abilities as well. 

The twins work similarly to our dad and Aunt Abigail. Their powers are strongest when they're together. When they are separated by a significant distance, their powers weaken. 

My sister Isabel, who we call Izzy, has the same ability as our dad, fire. She can create and manipulate fire just like our dad. Maddox's ability, he can freeze anything moving, including people. 

My ability, however, is different from theirs. I don't have a twin, I don't have anyone I need to share my ability with. No one to make me stronger, or weaker. I am my own power source, therefore, that makes me stronger than any of them. 

I can move things without touching them just as they can. My ability is ice. I can create and manipulate it with my hands. It comes from inside me, my power source is inside my core. But I can also use other water sources to intensify it and add to it.

I've been training with my powers for quite some time. I started training when I was 15. We first discovered how strong I actually was 4 months before my 18th birthday.

We were having a family day down by the river. We were having a picnic and played in the water. At one point my father and dad were closer to the tree line, and the twins were closer to the water. They were 13, and just learning how to use their powers. They froze in fear as a group of rogues came charging at them, crossing the river. My parents were too far away, and so was I. I knew if I didn't do anything, the rogues would definitely kill them. 

Without another thought, I quickly reached for my power, deep inside my core. As soon as I felt it, I grabbed onto it and pulled it forward. I felt the cold tingly sensation, as it rose through my chest, and down my arms, before shooting out my hands. 

As I focused on the ground around the twins, I reached for the ground, closing my hands as if grabbing onto something before thrusting my hands into the air. A wall of ice quickly formed around them, completely encasing them and protecting them from the rogues.

The wall of ice appeared moments before the rogues reached them, and I watched it as they crashed into it.

It didn't take them long to figure out they couldn't get the twins, so they quickly turned toward me. 

I felt the cold sensation in my hands of the wind begin to whip around me. I felt my eyes glowing as I quickly created a dagger of ice and threw it at my first victim. Not even bothering to make sure it hit, cuz I knew it did, I looked at the next rogue as I quickly created another dagger of ice instantly and threw it at him. 

In the blink of an eye, I created dagger after dagger and threw them as fast as I could at each rogue racing toward me. 

Moments later, my dad came racing past me, leaping into the air, and held himself there for a moment, with his hands ignited in flames all the way up to his shoulders. A large ball of flames grew in his hand before he threw it at the rogues.

As my father and dad were fighting, I heard another group of rogues crossing the river. 

As they were coming out of the water, I reached for the ground, focusing on my ice. I closed my hands, grabbing onto it and thrusting my hands up toward the sky. 

I watched, as large sharp pillars of ice rose from the ground, impaling the rogues from the underside, as they grew from the ground. 

I staggered backward after that move and felt the world spin. I tried to walk toward my dad, stumbling towards him and then felt my body falling as everything went dark.
