I breathed in the crisp cool air as I stepped out into the fading darkness of the early morn. I close the door behind me, softly, so as to not wake those sleeping within. 

I take off into a slight jog, feeling the dewy grass between my bare toes. As my legs stretched with each stride, I sped up my pace, now sprinting down to the small lake near our home. The sunrise was on the horizon, a small stream of orange and pink light streaming over the tree line, cascading down onto my bronzed skin. 

I'd barely run, my thick legs heavy from the short distance. I heaved over, resting my palms on my knees, panting heavily. 

Heck, I hated running. 

But I hated the name calling more… it was constant. At school, even at home. The endless fat shaming. I stood up, staring back at the reflection I'm the water. My mom's words popped into my head. "Margot, if you cared more for your body, you wouldn't be so tired. Try to take a lesson from your sister."

Ugh!

Hearing her voice in my head drove me crazy! I stripped down to my knickers and sports bra, running into the glistening still water of the lake. The chill of the cold water took my breath away, burning the skin it touched as I stood in deeper. 

When it reached my hips, I dove in, submerging myself in its chilly water. 

"Be more like Ella."  My mother's voice and I dove deeper into its depths, trying to drown her voice out. 

I could be like Ella, I had tried. Countless times. Despite all the efforts, the constant starving and forced exercise, my body build was different. Ella was slender, fit, medium height, with thin lengthy legs, in contrast to my tall heavy build. I never thought I was fat, but the teasing at school would beg to differ. I wasn't thin, but I was tall, my hips were wide and my ass and chest kind of just stuck out, doing their own thing. I'd starve myself, spent countless days in the gym, running, anything to try and reduce my size, but it was useless. I didn't want to hate my body, but every time I looked in the mirror their voices would appear. 

"Hey fatty." 

"Why don't you eat another donut sasquatch." 

"God, if I looked like you, I would definitely kill myself." 

Constant taunting at school, and it was no better at home. Ella and mom were relentless, all the fad diets, meal plans.. working out until I cried. 

My lungs began to burn, all the air in them completely depleted, as I swam for the surface. I gasped for air, trying to catch my breath as I treaded water. 

I swan for a while, enjoying the feeling of gliding through the water. I knew everyone would be waking up soon, and I needed to get home and shower before school. Reluctantly, swam back to the shore. I rnag out my long, curly hair, tying it back into a ponytail. I slipped on my sweatpants and oversized t-shirt, jogging back to the house. 

I slipped through the back door, trying to move silently through the house. 

"Mar?" 

My brother Peter stood in the hall, toweling his dampened hair. 

"Morning Pete." 

"Swimming again?"

I nod. Trying to dodge past him to my room, but he was a big guy, and took up the majority of the small hallway. Peter was four years older than me. He didn't live with us anymore, he moved to the pack house when he was selected to be on the Alpha's personal guard. He came back to visit when he could, and I missed him like he'll. He was the only one who stood up for me. He'd told mom off a few times on my behalf. He was my best friend, and I hated that he left me here alone.

"Want me to bring you to school? Maybe grab some coffee on the way?" 

I smiled at him, nodding. "Sounds good to me! Did you save any hot water?" 

He smirked, throwing his towel over his shoulder. "Nope. Looking this good takes time." 

I roll my eyes, punching him in the shoulder. "You are so full of yourself. You need to come down a few notches."

"You need to do some more lifting if you actually want to make your punches hurt. Weakkkkk." 

"Shush! You're going to wake mom and I'm not interested in dealing with her this morning." I glared at him, shoving past him and into my room. I hurriedly grab my robe and head for the bathroom. I needed to hurry before Ella woke up. 

Pete wasn't joking about using all the hot water. It was Lukewarm at best, so I made quick use of it, washing my hair and body with much haste. 

Feeling fresh, I brushed my teeth, avoiding the mirror. I wrapped my robe tightly around me, enjoying how the soft fuzzy fabric felt against my skin. 

I grabbed my phone, checking the time. School started in less than two hours and if I wanted to get going I needed to get a move on. 

I dug through my drawers for a pair of pants, selecting my favorite pair of black distressed stretchy jeans and  a LoTR tee. I throw on some mascara after putting in my contacts. I run so product through my kinky curls, tucking my bangs behind my ears before rushing rushing down the stairs. 

Pete was sitting at the small breakfast counter messing with his phone. 

"Ready?" I ask as I slip on my favorite pair of gray and black converse. 

He spins around on the stool, tucking his phone in his Jean pocket as he heads for the door. 

"Yeah. Caffeine, need to function." 

I laugh as we head out towards his jeep wrangler. 

"You're going to have to put the doors on these soon. I heard this year winter is going to be cruel. 

He shakes his head, starting up the engine. "I will keep them off until the first snowfall." 

"Uhhh. The weather here is unpredictable. You never know, we may get another snowfall in May again. ." 

Pete shrugs as he pulls out of the drive and onto the main road. "Maybe, maybe not. You know me though, I love to live on the edge."

 He smiles his cheeky smile, and I can't help but laugh. My brother is a freaking fool. 

"So, how have things been going? Mom treating you okay?" He looks away from the road for a moment, his hazel eyes filled with concern. 

I sigh heavily, sinking into myself a little. I didn't want Pete to get into it with mom and Ella for the few days he was here. I loved that he defended me, but if they got upset with him, they'd complain to dad, and then I would get the brunt of it when he left. 

"It's been fine. I've been avoiding them until I can drop a few pounds, that way mom will be somewhat nice next I see her." 

He clutches at the steering wheel, his lips pursed in a thin line. "You have to stop letting them treat you like this Mar. There is nothing wrong with how you look. You are built like dad and I, like a warrior. You are strong. And honestly, if or when you find your mate, they aren't going to care about any of that." 

I can feel the tears stinging at my eyes, but I push them back, not wanting my mascara to run. "Thanks Pete. I really miss you around here." 

He pats my shoulder, giving it a gentle squeeze before returning his hand to the steering wheel. "I know Mar. But you'll be 18 tomorrow, and then you can move out and you won't have to deal with mom and Ell's bullshit anymore." 

He was right. Tomorrow was my 18th birthday… I was finally going to have a lot more say in my life. Hell, maybe I'd find my mate and get swept away… I couldn't help but chuckle coarsely at the thought. 

Yeah right.

    After a 40 minute drive, we arrived in town, swinging up to the local Starbucks. I ordered myself a Trenta cold brew reserve with the cold foam on top. I savor the deliciousness, as the cold liquid brings a pep to my day. I loved the smell and taste of coffee."Fuel!" Pete groaned, as he took a sip of his hot espresso.I laugh at his face, when he realizes just how hot the coffee is.. We talk awhile, as we sip our coffee. He tells me about work, how Alpha Caden will be stepping down, and his eldest son Gavin will soon be Alpha. With a new Alpha, means a new beta."I mean." He rubbed at the back of his neck. "Gavin and I are pretty close, so I kind of hope he'd pick me to be his beta. I know I'm a little inexperienced in comparison to some of the others, but I'm hopeful,

    I wipe the tears from my face sitting up in my bed. I can see the dress hanging from the closet. It was floor length, in dusty rose color with a dull finish. I shed my clothes and put on the dress. Surprisingly, it fit very well. The sweetheart neckline flattered my chest, usually they were too tight, and the straps would fall off my shoulders, but this? This style of dress was perfect, absolutely perfect. The sleeves hung off my shoulders, the form fit of the dress hugged my curves yet not bringing too much attention to my little pouch. I took a breath, looking into the mirror… for once, I actually felt beautiful.The dress stopped just above my ankles, where it came to a point, making it difficult to walk in my normal long strides. The only downside of the dress, really. I take my time heading down the stairs, not wanting to take a tumble.

    Gavin's POVToday I am going to be Alpha. I have trained my entire life for this. I've studied. I've trained. Endless hours of constant practice. And finally, the time was here. In my short 27 years of existence, I had learned all I could for this position, father said the rest comes with experience… I am prepared, I think, but I was beginning to feel overwhelmed.I stare off into the distance, watching the sunrise over the limestone hills cloaked in lush trees. My favorite part of the day was now. When the world around me began to buzz to life. Stripping down, I jump from the balcony of my room, shifting into my wolf as I hit the ground. I took off running, accelerating quickly as the wind whipped through my fur. The smell of pine and wild flowers, the fresh dew of the morning filling my nose as I ran.I didn't want to think, just feel the ground beneath my heavy paws. To let my wolf side be free. I ran until I reached my favorite

    Margot Pov"Come on Mar!" Lora yelled from the car. I tried to hurry, but running in this dress was next to impossible."I'm coming!" I yelled back, as I grabbed my bag and a sweater before heading for the car. I had packed extra clothes in my bag, because there was no way in hell I was wearing this dress home."Hiyah darling!""Hi Mrs. Jackson. You look lovely this evening." I smiled at her because I meant it. It was obvious where Lora got her looks from. Just like Lora, Brenda's hair was that same barbie blonde, big round baby blue eyes. Absolutely stunning."Well thank you darling." Her thick southern accent rolls off her tongue as she speaks. "You look absolutely radiant, Margot. Happy birthday baby!""Thank you!" My face begins to heat. Mrs. Jackson gave me compliments, but for the first time, I actually believed."Lorraine Marie Jackson, don't yo

    Gavin PovWalking out of the house, I can't help but feel a little nervous. Tonight I will be the Alpha. I will soon be in charge of thousands of Pack members…. I shake my head, swallowing back the fear."Are you ready man?" Peter pats my shoulder, and I feel relief wash over me. He had a calming presence around him, and I valued his friendship more than I'd ever thought possible."Yes. It's been a long time coming. Happy to have you by my side Pete.""There's nowhere else I'd rather be. I am proud and honored to be by your side as your beta." I had officially asked Pete to be my beta this morning. I felt bad for asking so late, but I was glad when he accepted graciously this morning."It's showtime!" Gage, one of the Alpha's warriors, says as he pretends to use his fingers as guns. I laugh at his goofy self, when the most delectable smell tickles m

This couldn't be happening. I must be dreaming. How could the Alpha, the Alpha of all people in the world, be my mate?Was the moon goddess and the gods beyond playing a cosmic prank on me?But I couldn't deny how good his touch felt, the way he had kissed me. I'd never been kissed before, only in my dreams. But he kissed me like nothing I could have ever imagined. It felt magic the way our lips melded together.He looked down at me with stormy grey

    Gavin povMargot was truly a dream. She looked like paradise, and she was all mine. Her face was alite with such joy as we danced, gliding across the floor. Her body moved in sync with mine,"Alpha Gavin. It is time to wrap up the festivities." Nathan, one of the packs Gamma's. His soft eyes show his wisdom beyond years. He brushes his long white hair from his face as he makes his way back to the table of elders."Well my sweet Margot. I believe that means are dance is done." Tucking a curl behind her ear. Her hair is so soft i want to brush all of my fingers through it.She smiles shyly, biting at her full lower lip, and I let out a quiet growl. She was so unaware of how damn sexy she was.&nbs

    I've been in here once before, but I was so focused on Gavin, I didn't have a chance to actually look at the pack house. It was a traditional style, Minnesota home. A little bit of craftsman mixed with a dash of cottage. It was very homey. The dark wood floors were accented by the blue grey walls. It was decorated lightly, paintings of the moon goddess and landscapes adorned the walls. There was a front sitting room that we passed, before entering the massive kitchen. It was so large my entire house back home could fit into it.I couldn't stop the gasp leaving my lips. I was dumbstruck. It was gorgeous. The dark wood floors continued throughout, and the light cabinetry stood put against it. I lived to cook and bake and this was the kitchen of my dreams.I danced my fingers over the counter tops, a wide smile plastered on my lips.

    Gavin Showing Margot around the grounds was nice. After warming up to me a bit, her personality showed through her shyness. I was surprised to find that she was rather outgoing and great at holding conversations. I wish she knew just how beautiful she was. Behind that insecurity was a fierce woman, my Luna. "I was thinking that we'd spend the night together tonight. I know I said we could take things slow, and I'm not saying we need to be fully mated tonight, I just can't bear the thought of not being close to you, especially if there's only a wall between us." Margot's stride was no longer tandem with mine, her footfalls slowed before coming to a complete stop. Fuck. Why did I say anything? She was just opening up and I ruined it. Fuck. No, don't think like that. You are an Alpha.

    MargotI don't know how long I slept, but when I woke it was no longer light outside.. I stretched my stiff limbs. They were no longer sore and aching..I was still in Gavin's room, his bed, but he wasn't here. I was alone.. I rose from the bed, encouraging my sleepy body to crank it into motion. The rumbling of my stomach was enough of a motivator to get up and move.I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror that stood in the corner of Gavin's room. The flimsy tank top hugged my curves, ny chest still overly exposed. I went to grab the sweatshirt my brother had given me that was thrown on the floor, but as I reached for it, memories flooded my mind of Gavin's distaste for it. Instead, I grabbed the shirt he had gotten for me and tossed it on.It smelled like him. I took a moment, inhaling his delicious scent. Ugh he smell

I could smell him on me. His scent was so strong, but I loved it. The sandalwood.We are his. We bare his mark now, forever.I spilled back the lump in my chest, trying to steady my breathing. My legs felt so weak. I leaned against him, unable to stand alone anymore. My whole body quickly felt drained, as if I had been on a long dreadful run."Margot?"He looked down at me, his dark eyes fading into their usual shade of gray as he looked down at me. A look of concern plastered on his face.

It was very modern, charcoal grey walls accented with rows of bookshelves and a massive TV. His scent was so strong in here. It invaded all my senses, clouding my mind. My wolf half was losing it, as she whined loudly in my head. If she had her way, we'd be rolling in his sheets right now, with or without him, but preferably with.Clam down!Oh no, no calm.

Margot: 😣 help. I knew she wasn't awake. It was only 5 in the morning, and the weekend. Lora enjoyed sleep, much like myself, when it came easily. Ugh I needed something to relax my body and mind. A shower. A nice long hotter than hot shower. I headed to the attached bathroom, thankful for the privacy and the closet full of fresh towels. I let the water run a moment, until it was hot to the touch. I let the steam clear my sinuses and thoughts, to try and push Gavin's mouth watering scent from

    Margot PoVGavin stood before me, tall, tanned and beyond gorgeous. I felt my mouth salivating at the sight of him, the smell of him. My eyes drink him in, cascading over his bare chest. His pecks are well defined, it is obvious he stays in shape. Of course he does. Training is a huge part of being an Alpha. His skin was kissed by the sun, making his stormy grey eyes seem even brighter in the moonlit sky. I wanted to run my hands over his skin, down his muscular arms, over his abs.I feel the wetness starting to grow between my legs, enough to make my body heat up and my wolf whine with desperation."Margot." Gavin's voice was strained as he looked down at me. My eyes met his grey eyes, that were dark like storm clouds. "Whatever you are thinking about right now. Please,
