FINDING HER WAY CHAPTER 1
Waking up with the sounds of nature spilling into my room. It was early but I enjoyed waking with the sun. The soft rays gently caressing my skin and the cool breeze coming in through the perpetually open window gave me a peaceful feeling. This was my favorite way to start the day.I lazily stretched in bed and grabbed my phone. Waking up the screen, I saw that it's Thursday. Only one more day before I was shipped off to the annual mating ball. This will be my first time attending as my eighteenth birthday coincides with the first day of the ball. Only unmated wolves between eighteen and twenty-nine are permitted to attend. Once a wolf turns thirty it's usually assumed their mate found someone else to mate with or they're dead. Most unmated wolves don't make it that far though. The majority of the mating ball attendees are between eighteen and twenty-three. After twenty-three the pull to mate is so strong that most wolves find someone convenient and passable to be their chosen mate.
FINDING HER WAY CHAPTER 2
After entering my room, I kicked off my shoes and looked around the familiar sight that has been my room for as long as I can remember. It's nothing special but I've put my own style on it over the years. I have a large bed and all the furniture in my room is a darker color. There's a nice sized closet with all my clothes and an en suite bathroom as well. I prefer function over having anything too fancy. My room is the only sanctuary I have indoors and I want it to be soothing, not overwhelming. I have a few sparse decorations, pictures of my family and friends and some posters I collected when I was younger to keep me focused on my goals.Lucy's room is next door of course. I can distinctly hear her snoring through the wall. She is not the same early riser that I am. I'll have to go wake her up soon. She won't appreciate not having enough time to perfect her look before what could be our last day of school.I wonder what my morning runs will be like after I finally get my wolf tomorr
FINDING HER WAY CHAPTER 3
As we drive off the pack territory towards our school I see Lucy tense a little. I can tell she's getting nervous and I assume it has something to do with the ball tomorrow."Whatcha thinkin' about, Lucy?"She sighs but doesn't take her eyes off the road. "I don't want to lose you Amoret. What if we find our mates tomorrow and we never see each other again? I can't live without my best friend. You're my sister."I hadn't really thought that far into it. I didn't have much faith in finding my mate my first year at the ball. It took many wolves a few tries before finding the other half of their soul. Only one of my three older brothers found his mate on the first try and that's because they were the same age. I didn't really realize that Lucy might find hers before I do though.It's common for there to be at least some sort of age gap between mates so one could be looking for years before finally finding them. Some people never find their mate because one of them gets frustrated and giv
FINDING HER WAY CHAPTER 4
As I arrived at the training grounds my eyes lit up. My dad was finishing up a session with our top warriors. He's a tall, burly man with dark brown hair and even darker eyes. He exudes confidence and raw power. It doesn't take much for him to get the respect he deserves from his warriors. He's nothing but a big teddy bear to me though. I hadn't been able to train with him for a few weeks since he's been busy with some strategic planning for our Alpha. I've missed him so much.I headed into the locker rooms so I could get ready for my session. I swapped my jean shorts for some spandex and I threw on a sports bra. There's no need for a lot of clothing while training. Extra fabric can only hold you back. I placed my sandals in my bag and traded them for running shoes. Lastly, I pulled my hair into a high ponytail and looked in the mirror. This was when I most felt like myself. After putting my bag into one of the many lockers lining the walls, I headed out to meet my dad.His face lit u
FINDING HER WAY CHAPTER 5
As I was sitting there staring blankly at the map for the umpteenth time, I heard someone walking in my direction. I looked around and found the perfect tree to get my vantage point from. As the warrior came into view, I noticed it was the same one from before. He walked to the stream, abruptly turned around, and went back the way he came from.It almost seemed like he was following a specific path. My gut was telling me this was deliberate. Is it possible the random lines on the map weren't so random? Could they be the paths set up by my father for the warriors to follow? If so, I would only need to figure out exactly where I am on the map and I could easily avoid them.Once the warrior had left, I decided to follow his path in order to get an idea of which line could be his. I followed him for a couple hundred feet and then he made an abrupt right turn at a stump. I looked at my map and saw that there was only one line that made a similar turn and I started to orient myself. I wasn'
FINDING HER WAY CHAPTER 6
Amoret's POVI spent the rest of the day with my dad talking strategy and reminiscing. We talked about mom and how much we missed her. We also went over that new move that Ezra taught me. Dad still hadn't gotten over the fact that his right hand man and best friend went behind his back on that one.After a late dinner of pizza and junk food followed by enormous ice cream sundaes, I decided to call it a night. I gave my dad a quick kiss on the cheek and he gave me a big hug in return."Goodnight Amoret y. Sleep tight. Sleep in tomorrow and I'll fix you up your favorite breakfast," he told me in a soft voice.I knew what he was going to make. Chocolate chip pancakes and bacon with a strawberry banana smoothie. I could practically taste it already. Whenever my dad cooks pancakes, he always makes them in crazy shapes that make me laugh. I honestly think he does it just because he knows it'll make me smile. He really is the best dad out there.I slowly climbed the stairs in my food coma in
FINDING HER WAY CHAPTER 7
Amoret's POVI have been waxed, plucked, lotioned, and bathed. I think Lucy applied a mask to every inch of my body. I didn't even know hair masks existed. What do they even do?? Lucy didn't even give me a break for lunch. She made me eat the sandwiches my brother Acedelivered while she was plucking my eyebrows. It was darn near impossible and I didn't get nearly enough food to quench my hunger.As I was slowly sneaking towards the door of my room, Lucy exited the bathroom drying her hands."Just where do you think you're going? Hm?" she asked with her hands on her hips."I'm starving Lucy. I just want to go grab some of the leftover pizza from last night. I promise I'll be back in two minutes!" I begged."Pizza! Amoret you can't eat greasy food right now. You have a dress to fit into and you don't want to break out from eating junk food. No Amoret , get your butt back in here and sit down so I can work on your hair. We only have two hours left and we both need to be ready in that ti
FINDING HER WAY CHAPTER 8
Amoret POV"How's life over in Silver Moon Pack?" I asked Theo."Dull without you around baby sister. But all jokes aside, things are going well. I've been given the chance to train the warriors some recently and it seems like the alpha likes the progress they've made. Maybe there will be another head warrior in the family, huh pops?" Theo gave dad a proud smile.Dad's eyes were still on me, however. "Yeah, I think we definitely will keep that tradition alive."I gave him a questioning look and he quickly put his attention back on Theo. "And how's my newest grandbaby?"Alice looked over at the bundle snuggled up in his career. "He's an angel. Couldn't have asked for a more wonderful pup." You could see how much she adored her pup just from the way her face lit up when she talked about him.``Speaking of pups...Charlie, when are you going to make me a grandpa again?" dad nudged Acewhose face turned bright red."Dad!" Ace cried incredulously. "We've only been mated a few weeks. Chill on

Amoret's POVDad and I pulled up to the pack house at twelve forty-five. I quickly ran upstairs to my room and changed into something more comfortable. This dress wouldn't do for a first shift and I don't want it to get destroyed in the process. I still need to wear it tomorrow for day two of the ball.I bounded down the stairs two at a time. This was the most excited I'd been in years. Getting my wolf has been something I've been desperately looking forward to. My whole family was waiting for me in the living room. I could tell Ezra was a bit put off that Lucy didn't make it back with me. His overprotective father gene was working overtime right about now.Dad got everyone moving and we headed off to the clearing where he and I had our little one-on-one yesterday. As we stepped into the clearing, I gave dad a smug smirk and he scowled at me. "Not a word," he whispered to me under his breath and gestured towards Ezra. I giggled and nodded in agreement. I'll keep my nose out of their r
FINDING HER WAY CHAPTER 13
Sebastian POVWhy is going home from this goddess forsaken place so hard? I asked myself that question for the third time as I sat in the driver's seat of my car still not having moved from Midnight Pack's parking lot.'You know why,' my wolf sneered. He was still angry that I wasn't willing to go take my mate by force tonight. He can be so pushy sometimes.'We will see her tomorrow,' I replied in my head.'So sure? Do you know you'll see her tomorrow? What will you do if you don't see her? What if she actually ran off with another wolf?' he mocked me.That really got my blood boiling. The thought of her with anyone but me was enraging. 'NO,' I barked.'Exactly,' he said.'So what do you suggest?' I asked. 'I am not going to disrupt her first shift because we can't keep it in our pants for one night.''And why not?' he retorted.'You know why not,' I snapped. 'Let's go with a middle ground. We find out from Adan's mate where she is and we go to her. We can watch her from afar and kno
FINDING HER WAY CHAPTER 12
Amoret POVI'd sat in the garden longer than I'd originally planned, just thinking about life and singing songs my mom and I used to sing together. I thought a lot about my mother and how much I missed her. I wondered when my dad would head out for his next trip to search for her. He hadn't gone yet this month. Probably because of all the big events in my life and the extra training the alpha was asking for. I know he hasn't forgotten though.I thought about my mate and whether I would find him or not this weekend. I'm still not sold on the idea and the thought of coming back tomorrow is terrifying. I'm just not ready.I also thought about my first shift. I'm not scared like most wolves are for their first shift. This is something I've felt prepared for my whole life. My dad has taught me techniques for going through the shift to make it less painful and quicker. A fast shift for a wolf can be the difference between life and death. Newly shifted wolves are notoriously slow shifters d
FINDING HER WAY CHAPTER 11
Sebastian POVI pulled up to the entrance of the Midnight Pack grand hall. The guards waiting outside were surprised to see me get out of the driver's seat. Normally wolves get chauffeured to this event."Would you be willing to park it nearby? I want to make sure I can access it when I need it," I said to one of the guards.Understanding crossed his face and he bowed. I guess my mask won't be as effective as I thought it might be. "Yes, your highness. I will take great care with it," he agreed.I sighed. Another person treating me differently for my title and nothing else. The other guards bowed as well as we passed. The first guard must have mind linked them in regards to our status.As we entered the foyer, a server came up to us and asked if we would like to be announced. Adan was quick to cut in, "Not tonight, thank you. The Princewould like a quiet evening. I hope you understand." The server nodded and bowed before leaving us to enter on our own.I could hear the music and it w

Amoret POVThe ride to the ball was relatively pain free. Lucy kept the conversation light as she could tell I was still nervous. We pulled into Midnight Pack territory where the ball was being held and slowly drove up the winding path towards the great hall. There was a line of cars and we were about ten cars back from the entrance.As each car dropped its passengers and drove away, I became more and more anxious. I felt Lucy squeeze my hand reassuringly and I looked over to her. She gave me a smile and told me, "Everything is going to be fine Amoret . I promise. I won't let anything bad happen to you."I trust her. Her eyes lit up at that moment and I looked towards the window. Our car was next in line. I know she's excited. I can do this for her. I put on a big smile and squeezed her hand back. She took out a compact from her purse and checked her makeup one last time. Deciding it was fine, she swiftly closed it and stuffed it back in her bag."Ready?" she asked."Ready," I answere

Sebastian POVUgh, my fourth mating ball. Is it even worth it anymore? I'm beginning to think my visions aren't going to come true. I've seen her, if only from a distance. I've heard her voice, in a crowd of others. I've heard her laugh, and oh what a beautiful sound that is. I've been dreaming of this girl since my eighteenth birthday. Always the same girl. Always beautiful and kind. I'm so drawn to her in these dreams. It must be her. My mate."My goddess, Sebastian . Are you going to the ball or not?"I looked up to see my best friend and second in command, Adan. "Er, yeah. Just mentally preparing myself, you know?" I replied halfheartedly."Well you're going to need to physically prepare yourself too if we're ever going to make it," he retorted.I looked down and realized what he meant. I'm still wearing yesterday's clothes and my hair is an absolute mess. It's been crazy here the past few days and I haven't had a moment to myself. Always people pulling me in different directions
