I panted, my face and neck covered in sweat. 

When has shopping gotten so difficult?. 

I'm calling my father to come get me. 

" Dad, I need you to come get  "

I breathed out once he answered the call.

" Why do you sound as if you're dying "

He chuckles 

"That's because I am"

" I can see that "

He says, this time he sounded as if he was close to me and no longer as though he was over the phone. 

I turned to see him behind me, smiling. 

"You were already here?"

I asked hugging him 

"Yes, I came to grab a few stuff for the party tonight, when I saw you struggling with those five large bags "

He chuckles 

"I took a video and sent it to your Blair"

" How could you betray me like that ?"

I pretended to be offend 

" And to be fair I haven't shopped in 6 years, I was quite the fool for not thinking I'd end up buying so much stuff "

" That you are, Sweetie pie "

"You know, I could use some pie right now, I'm famished "

I joked but I truly was 

That doesn't sound bad for I too am famished. 

He helped me pack the bag in his car and then we left to get pie 

Earlier, with the help of my mom, I cleaned out my closet, we had to give away some of my belongings to the pack's charity program. 

Some of the clothes either didn't fit or they no longer appealed to me. 

I found a few things like Ella and I's matching t-shirts and befriend bracelets. 

And Max's Jacket. 

Yes you heard me right. It was the first night of winter, super cold, I was walking home from Ella's house shivering. 

The sweater I wore did nothing to prevent the cold.

He came out of nowhere and placed his jacket on me. 

I told him I'd return it the next day. He was a dick to me again so I kept it. 

He tried to get it a few times but I never gave it to him. 

" You wanna be a Jerk to me?, then you're not getting your favourite Jacket back "

His build now compared to then is so different, returning it would be useless as it wouldn't even fit.

The sound of the car door being opened brought me back to reality.

We're home, 

"Claire, did you really need five bags of clothes "

Mom asked as she came over to help us 

" Did you see the video I sent wifey?"

" I sure did "

She laughs 

***

" Those are sexy"

Mom complimented, despite me trying to hide the lingeries I had bought. 

I asked her to help me unpack my stuff 

" For my mate, if I ever get one "

" Don't say that, you'll find your mate someday"

" When?, when I'm 60?, most wolves finds their mate when they're 16"

Mom sighs and picks out a sexy golden dress from the stuff we had already packed away in the closet. 

" What are you doing?"

" Styling my daughter so she go to the party that's happening at the pack tonight"

Max will soon take over from his dad, as Alpha so this party is being held for him to get aquitened other Alphas and people that he'll be working with. 

" But isn't it for important people, I can't go!"

"You're the Beta's daughter and the pack"s nurse both you and I were invited along with him"

She showed me the invite list 

"Oh"

"There's gonna be plenty of young handsome Alphas and other elite people from different packs, maybe you'll find your mate, if not you'll just have to accept that you weren't given a Fated mate and simply chose one "

Mom had a point, what if the moon goddess didn't choose a mate for me?. Plenty of people were given one but I refuse to believe I wasn't given one. 

What did I do to offend her?Did I do something wrong?Is it because I killed Ella?.

***

An hour later, I was at the party. My palms were sweaty, for two reasons. One, I haven't been to a large gathering in a long time and two, what if he is here?.

What if I find my mate tonight!.

The theme of the party was black and Gold, no wonder why Mom dressed me in a golden dress. 

It had a side slit exposing my leg and it reached down to my ankles. She paired it with matching heels and earrings.

My parents and I parted ways and I went to the bar to get a drink. 

For the next few hours, I garnered a lot of attention, plenty of guys were interested in me. 

Not brag, but with my beauty I wasn't surprised. 

Sadly none of them caught my interest.

I needed fresh air so I exited the building and sat next to the waterfront. 

" Boring isn't it?"

Someone asked from behind and I was stunned to see Beck. He appeared to me as a janitor.

" Yeah "

I heaved a sigh and pat the seat next me 

" I'm on the Job doc "

" Oh plz, a minute won't hurt anyone "

" I supposed"

He shrugs sitting down next to me 

"Is your wound healing better now?, if you don't mind me asking?"

" A little faster yes"

I was happy to hear that low healing doubt is truly something dangerous to have. 

" That's great Beck "

We fell into a comfortable silence, watching the fishes swim around the fountain until he spoke.

"Hey, I know this might be inappropriate, but you look lovely tonight "

"Thanks"

I became uncomfortable, he sensed that too since I bid goodbyes and left 

"See you around!, hope you enjoy the rest of your night "

" You too "

I didn't even get the chance to ask if he had spoken to his aunt. 

He did nothing wrong, he thought I looked ugly and so did plenty of other guys. 

I've grown so accustomed to the thought of waiting for my mate after all it was tradition that the thought of a man that wasn't him disgusted me. 

My mind went back to what mom had said earlier, "maybe you'll just have to accept that you weren't given a Fated mate "

It was a mistake coming here!

    I had just gotten home from work, exhausted. I wanted nothing more than to shower and take a nap.When I open the front door. I didn’t expect to see my parents in the living room.

    The sunlight escaped through my window and shone directly on my bed. Which irritated me. I need to do something about this as I wasn't ready to get up.My eyes scanned my room for a solution when it dawned on me that I haven't cleaned in a while. No work today, no friends, no plans, might as well clean my room right. I grabbed the cleaning supplies from my storage cupboard and began cleaning my room. There was a lot of trash under my bed and In the corner of my room which made me realise how depressed I actually was. My room was a pig style and I was never one to keep my surroundings dirty and untidy. I did all my laundry since I was 13 and when my mom insisted on helping I'd throw a fit. Thankfully, I'm out of that depressed state now.I owe it to my parents for saying enough is enough. Maybe I would have lost myself and my wolf completely.***A few tired hours later my room was clean and tidy, so was my bathroom too. I made sure to turn my bed away from Windsor so that I

Occasionally we have a few disrespectful patients or disagreements but nothing we couldn't handle. I was on my way to the storage room to fetch some medicines that needed restocking When I felt a familiar feeling. normally I'd curse but this time around I was ecstatic.finally! I turned around and glared at the man I've been wanting to see " Max, how could you tell my dad such a lie?" I asked but he kept his head straight pretending not to notice me. " Look at me, I'm talking to you " I grabbed his arm but he shook me off and said, " What's this, I could have sworn you said to stay away from you "Well I guess I did, but there's an issue that needs to be resolved, an issue he created when he lied to my dad.

    I headed back to work, there was only an hour left before it would end. As soon as it did, I went home, Max must be avoided at all costs. I sighed and opened the front door, this place no longer felt like home. The warm cosy feel it had, vanished the moment my parents and I stopped talking. I loved them, they were the best parents I could have ever asked for. We were all so close, I was their only child. It's sad they'd believe Max over me I know he's soon to be Alpha but stil. They've been together even before they knew they were mated, they both said they could feel the chemistry and it was impossible to stay away from each other. After finding out, mom got pregnant with me shortly after. I think they tried having another child after me but it never worked out. The appetising smell of mom's cooking filled my nostrils the moment I entered causing my stomach to grumble in excitement.

    At 11 in the morning, I sat in the living room of our home watching Tv. When my parents decide to disturb me, “Sweetheart, you can’t stay mad at us forever, we gave birth to you “Mom says, but I remained focused on the show at hand. I was in a good mood after last night and I’d be damned if I let them spoil it. Wolfie and I spent an hour in the woods playing, which I vow to myself to never do again.I was warned multiple times not to stay down at the river too late. Sadly, I didn’t get to question him about how he became rogue, as he didn’t want to disclose anything. When I tried to ask how, he growled at me. All in all, we had a great time. “Claire, we’re speaking to you “I pause the show. “What you said might be true, but you guys weren’t parent enough to know your own daughter ““I’m sorry “Dad apologises “We shouldn’t have believed him over you, he cleared it up yesterday, he said he was only trying to get back at you for something “I shook my head in utter disbelief
