“Seleste, are you ready yet? We’re going to be late for school. You know how Mr. Simms gets when we are late for first period.” Talia yells up the stairs.

“Coming, Talia,” I yell, while running downstairs. “Seriously Seleste, I don’t know why you take so long to get ready for school? You don’t even wear makeup,” says Talia, rolling her eyes.

“Really Talia, I have to shower after training, then get ready. I know you don’t want to ride in the car with me all sweaty. Come on, let’s go. Don’t want to be late.” I say, smirking at Talia.

“Bye, mom and dad. See you all later.”

“Bye girls,” my parents yell.

Talia and I leave the house. Talia and I have been riding to school since Talia got a new car on her 16th birthday. Most of us got cars that year, but I hate driving. I’m usually too hyped from training to focus on something so small as driving.

We made it to school in record time. Talia may or may not have been speeding. First period is not my favorite. Mr. Simms is always tough and does not let us get away with anything. Mr. Simms is more than a teacher, he is a member of the Elite 12, so he is tough on me. As one of the crew, he has high expectations for me. I think sometimes they forget that I am also a teenager.

 Talia and I make it to class just as the bell is ringing. “So glad you ladies can join us”. Mr. Simms says, looking at us and his watch. Being right on time is late for Mr. Simms. Talia looks at me as we take our seats.

“It’s my fault, Mr. Simms. Training went a little late this morning”. I explained, trying to look sincere. Well, it was my fault anyway.

“Well, Ms. True, you know what they say about excuses and incompetence? Since I know you are not incompetent, I’ll pretend you did not give me an excuse.”

”Don’t forget, I was at training with you this morning, so I know what time you and the Beta ended your match.” Mr. Simms linked me and had the nerve to smirk at me.

The students sit there trying to cover their laughter. Mr. Simms looks around the class.

“Now class, let’s begin. Please pass your homework assignment to the right.”

We all passed in our homework and started working on our assignments.

The rest of the class was pretty quiet. Mr. Simms runs a tight ship.

“Girl, Mr. Simms got you good,” Talia says as we walked out of class.”

“Yes, he did, but I knew better than to give him an answer.”

“I don’t know why you used training as a reason. I mean HELLO Seleste, Mr. Simms is a member of the Elite 12! Of course, he knows when you got out of training.”

“I know Talia. It was the only thing I could come up with on short notice. Where are Mona and Rose today? They usually meet us after first period.”

“You are right. They should have been here by now. Let me text them.” Talia said.

We continued walking down the hall to our next class. Another typical day of senior high school.

We met up with Rose and Mona before going into our 2nd-period class. We all have several classes together. I and Talia have all but one of our classes together. Most of the boys are on a mirror schedule to ours. When we are in English, they are in math. We all have Science together right before lunch. Science used to be a time we all enjoyed because it was the one class all 10 of us had together. We used to do our projects together, but not so much nowadays.

As Talia and I are walking alone, I take the opportunity to ask her about something that has been bothering me lately. I don’t know why, but my wolf has been acting a little differently lately. She goes from excited to being irritable. I’m not sure what is going on with her. It is like she is expecting something to happen. I hope it is not anything bad. Our pack has had decades of peace. We are one of the strongest packs in the whole werewolf world. “Talia, have you noticed anything weird over the last couple of days?”

“Not really. Weird, like how?’

“I don’t know. Tamaska has been on edge for the past couple of days and I don’t know why.”

“Well, Seleste, your 18th birthday is in a couple of days. Could it be that she is sensing your mate? This is so exciting. I can’t wait to see who will be the lucky male to get to have the strongest she-wolf as his mate.”

“I don’t know if I’m ready for that. What if my mate can’t handle me being a warrior?”

“Seleste, anyone would be more than happy to have you as their mate. You are beautiful, honest, and sweet, as well as strong. So, who do you think it will be?”

“Honestly, Talia, I do not know. I used to think that I and Trevor had a connection, but that changed when I got the best of him in training last year. Since that time, he has made it known that he does not like me.”

“Girl, for an alpha to be, Trevor is a big baby. I can’t believe he is such a sore loser. He is still holding a grudge against you for being who you are. He’s not the only ranked wolf you have won against. Trevor needs to get over it. It’s been a whole year. I hope he grows up before Alpha Connor gives him the title or this pack is in trouble.”

“Honestly, Talia, I don’t care who my mate is as long as he loves and accepts me and Tamaska. Not everyone can handle us.” I stated.

I spent the rest of the day thinking about the possibility of finding my mate. I wonder if Trevor and I are really fated. I know he will reject me. I have already prepared myself for that possibility, although I hope it never comes to that.

“Stop worrying, we are awesome! Our mate will love us and if not, we will kick his ass.” my wolf growled. The scary thing is that I know Tamaska is 100% serious. She does not take any crap from anyone.

T, we can’t go around beating people up because they don’t like us”

“Why not,”

“Because it is against the laws of the pack. Violence is not the answer to everything.” I say, making a duh face.

“Hump. We’ll see.”

My wolf is right about one thing. There is no use in worrying. Our fate is already sealed. I have to believe that the moon goddess does not make any mistakes. What will be will be no matter what, I will survive.

“That’s what I have been trying to tell you, we are awesome.”

My wolf always wants the last word. I believe the moon goddess has a plan, and she never makes a mistake, so I have to believe that the person she made for me will be perfect, even if it is freaking Trevor Munroe.

  • Rejected Protector    The Incident

    Trevor and I used to be friends. Our parents used to tease us about being mates when we grew up. We used to laugh about it, but all of that changed last year during sparring practice. I have beaten almost everyone that I sparred with, except the alpha and my parents and sometimes the beta. Trevor challenged me once last year since he was an alpha wolf. Trevor thought since I was a gamma wolf and female, he could take me down easily. He prides himself on being the strongest wolf. Initially, I was going to let him win. My mother had told me a while ago about the fragile egos of the males in our pack. Secretly, my mother is stronger than my dad and probably the alpha, but she always gives them a narrow win to keep the peace and balance in the pack. I was going to do the same, I swear I was. I was also going to take this opportunity to help him improve some of his fighting skills. Trevor has a tell when he is fighting. He tends to lead off with his left leg every time he is going to get a

    I am the future alpha of my pack and I can’t wait to take over from my father. I have been preparing for this my whole life. I had the dream of not only leading my pack by being the strongest wolf in the pack. The alpha is always the strongest wolf, like my father and his father before him. How can I lead if I am not the strongest? I am a pure alpha. Both of my parents have alpha blood. That makes me special. I train hard and have proven myself against most of the warriors in the pack. My father has drilled it in my head that to be alpha, you have to be the best. Our Pack is one of the largest packs in America. We are also high ranking amongst all the other packs. I want to lead our pact to the number one spot. In short, I want our pack to be the best, so I have to be the best. In my father’s words, “to lead the best, you have to be the best.’ For me, being the best means being the strongest. I am an enormous wolf, even for an alpha. I am well built; with 6.5 feet of solid muscle. I t

    “Wow, Trevor, did you see how Seleste just took my dad down. She is getting more and more impressive by the day. She truly has earned her position as the head warrior and part of the Elite 12. Can you believe she is one of the youngest members of the Elite 12?” Ben just could not stop singing her praises. “What are you, Ben, president of her fan club now? Okay, so she can fight, big deal. Is she even a she-wolf? No female should be able to fight like that and take down a full-grown beta,” I hissed at Ben. “Hey man, what’s gotten into you? I thought you all used to be the best of friends?” Ben asked. “We were friends, but I don’t need friends like her.” “Dude, she is going to be your Gamma. What is so bad about her? I think she is awesome. She is smart, beautiful inside and out, and incredibly strong. I hope she ends up being my mate.” Ben adds. “You can have her, Ben. I don’t want a mate like that. I want a mate like my mom. Soft, loving, and kind. Not a warrior.” “Um Trevor, you

    It’s finally the end of the day and I am so happy to be out of school. Talia, Rose, Mona and I are going to the mall to get outfits for the big pack birthday party. The party is this weekend. It falls on my birthday. I am so excited. We like any excuse to have a party. Eighteen years ago, our pack had a big baby boom. Ten of us were born days apart. Ben, the future beta, and I were born on the same day. The future alpha was born 2 days before us. His birthday is on Thursday. Nathan’s birthday is Friday. Ben, Rose, and my birthday are this Saturday. All the ranked wolves had babies close together. It must have been something in the water that year. The girls and I head to the mall to shop for our dresses for the big birthday party. Every year the party is a major fashion event. Everyone is dressed formally or semi-formally. It’s the one time of the year that the pack gets to see me all dolled up. “Rose, you should try this dress. This shade of blue looks good on you.” I say, holding t

    This week is going by so fast. It’s Wednesday already. Tomorrow is my birthday. I’m both excited and terrified about finding my mate. I hope it is Shana, but honestly, I don’t feel a pull toward her. Convel has been fixated on Seleste. I must admit, I do feel a small connection to her. I just have to ignore it and stick to my plan. After Monday night at the diner, I asked Shana out on a date for the next night. I took her to a pleasant restaurant. My prospective mate deserves and expects the best. I hinted to her I may feel a slight pull toward her. We plan to hang out together tomorrow night just to see if she is my mate. I plan to ask her to be my chosen mate if the moon goddess doesn’t do right by me. “You better not,” Convel yells in my head. “I want my mate! No one else will do. If you even think about rejecting my mate for someone else, I will never speak to you again! Convel says. “I don’t care. I am doing what is best for our pack, no matter what. You can’t stop speaking to

    Today was a rough day. I got slightly injured during training. I sparred with one of the Elite 12 today and although I won; he made his presence known. “Come on, Tim, is that all you got? Come at me again,” I yell. Tim runs at me again. I step aside, kick him in the stomach and punch him hard in the face. Tim goes down and out. Another win for me. My dad walks over and looks at me. He is the only one who noticed me flinching. “Let me see Sweet Pea,” my dad says. “Dad, don’t call me that in public. Come on, someone might hear you.” My dad laughs and looks at the bruise forming on my left side. “Well baby girl, Tim got you good. Looks like you have at least two broken ribs and maybe more.” Although I’ll heal quickly, my mom made me stay home today and maybe tomorrow to heal properly. I don’t mind. I’m enjoying the time to myself and Tamaska is being quiet today. Plus, I get to spend a little time with my mom. My mom brought me breakfast in bed. “Are you excited that you get to fin

    Today is my birthday. I’ve been walking around the school hoping to smell that wonderful smell of my mate and, so far, nothing. I never even considered that my mate may not be from our pack. I think I have been in contact with almost every she-wolf under 25 in our pack. Shana ended up not being my fated mate After All, but we plan to still hang out tonight; especially since I have not found my fated mate amongst our pack. “I told you she was not our mate, but do you listen? No, you don’t. Instead of planning a date with a random she-wolf, you should look for our mate. Why did I get a human like you!” Convel says in a huff. “Look Convel, I know you want our mate. I want her too, but she may not be in our pack. We may not find her right away or she may not be the right one to be Luna, so I will keep dating Shana until I or she finds our mate.” I hope Convel will see things my way soon and stop fighting with me. Why can’t he understand that I just want to do what’s right for the pack?

    After lunch, my day seems to slow down. Everyone is either asking about my mate or parading themselves in front of me to see if they were the lucky ones. I swear even a few males paraded themselves in front of me. Sorry boys, I don’t swing that way. I can wait for this day to be over so that I can go to the fireworks display my parents have planned for me tonight. Maybe my mate will be there. The fireworks started at sunset. The fireworks look amazing. It’s been a long time since my parents had fireworks. With us living deep in the forest, I guess that makes sense. I’m glad that they decided to do this for me. “Mom, dad, thank you so much. This has been a great birthday. You guys always make sure my day is special.” “That’s because you are special,” my mom says, hugging me. “So, do you have anything to tell your father and me? Do I have a new daughter yet?” “Not yet, mom. But Convel seems to think that we will see her soon. I’m not sure if she is a pack member. If she is, she wasn’

    The party started like any other children’s party. There were games, playing, and eating all day long. Our parents were relaxing with each other. My mom’s best friends are all in different packs. Talia travels a lot, so the adults really enjoy it when they all get to hang out together. Us children are the same. We only get to see the whole group together about 3 times a year. Because of who our parents are. Elon and I get to go to the other packs more than the other children, although things will change for us when we start school. School is another whole issue that we may talk about later. All I will say is that it took all of my grandparents begging to convince my parents to allow Elon and me to go to school with the other kids. My parents wanted to keep us on the pack lands and do some kind of home school, which is crazy because our school is a pack school. How would it look if the alpha couple did not trust the pack school to educate their children? Those were the exact words of my

    I am one of the most loved and feared wolves of all time. My twin brother and I were blessed by the moon goddess and the archangel Gabriel. From the moment I was born, almost 3 minutes after my twin, I have been told I am special. My family did not realize it at the time, but my brother and I understood what they said about us even before we were born. My twin and I could mind e each other the day we were born. We always assumed it was just a twin thing. Over the years, we have discovered that we are unique and can do things that normal wolves cannot do. My parents have raised us to be levelheaded and grounded. We both will have a lot of responsibility when we are older, and our parents want us to enjoy being pups. Aside from being blessed by the moon and the light, we are descendants of the original gamma and alpha blooded. My brother is already stronger than many full-grown wolves. I have not tested my full strength, but I know I am stronger than all the she-wolves in our pack. I ha

    The twins are 3 months old today. They are growing and maturing fast. They are already doing things more advanced than humans and even other werewolf babies. I always knew that they would be special. Both the moon goddess and Gabriel blessed them when I was carrying them. I know that they each have a path to follow. I hope that I as their mother can stir them in the right direction. Everyone has reassured me that Jarvis and I will be great parents. My twins will be showered with love. I’m so glad my parents moved to our pack. They can help me with the twins when I have luna or protector duties. Jarvis’ parents are also very helpful. I just like watching them while they sleep. They are so precious. We still have not figured out what their marks mean. We initially thought their marks were Identical, but they are not. They both have a crescent moon with three stars like mine, but Eliora’s has what looks to be a blade in the middle and Elon's has what looks to be a lightning volt. It’s no

  • Rejected Protector    Happily Ever After

    It’s been two years since the supernatural world had what amounted to a civil war orchestrated by pure evil. A lot of good came out of the war. The shifter community is more united and stronger than ever. The groups are no longer separated, well, not completely. Everyone still has their own set of rules and cultures, but we all serve under one king. We all come together yearly for leaders/alphas meeting at the palace. This gives us leaders a chance to network and build or strengthen alliances. It also gives us female warriors a chance to dress and get dolled up. Every year, Rose, Mona, Talia, Lacey, Francis, Violetta and I meet up the week before the conference to go shopping. Not that we need much of an excuse to meet up. We get together as much as possible anyway. Our males like to hang out with each other as well. The circle of ten still meets up as a group at my old pack for our birthday every year. Even though we are all grown and mated, alpha Connor likes to continue the traditi

    The war is over. The dark lord has been defeated, but my warriors had to continue fighting mini battles from pockets of rebels who still insisted on fighting the rule of the king. They were no match for our warriors. The king and all of us were tired of needless bloodshed. We remained at the makeshift war tent for a couple of days, coordinating with all the other regions and bringing order. After the third day, we start teleporting warriors back to their region or home group.Queen LaDonna went back to her coven to get all the magics back on track and deal with the remaining dark witches. The decision to allow them to live was a tough one, but it was argued that the fact that they survived a hit from a light weapon showed they were not purely evil. While we didn’t expect them to walk completely in light magic, Queen LaDonna reminded us it is still necessary to have balance in the world. We need some darkness to balance the light. Even if we killed them off, there is nothing to stop ot

    After Meditating. I met my parents and Jarvis back in our family wing of the palace. It is almost going time. Jarvis and my dad were discussing the warriors and their plan of attack. While I was training with the king and Queen LaDonna, Jarvis and my dad were mobilizing the rest of the warriors with the new generals of the kingdom. The new generals are none other than Young Trevor and his team from the alpha academy. The goddess did tell me that our destinies have always been intertwined, now I understand how and why.This kingdom has fought wars before, but this is the first time we are battling pure evil. This is the first time mates are fighting side by side. In the past, the warriors were all males and the mate remained home waiting for their mates to return. In this war, the mates are on the frontline fighting together. Some might think that is a disadvantage, but I know it is more of an advantage. There is no power in the world stronger than the power of love. Mate will fight ha

    After spending a restful night in Jarvis’ arms. I get up and spend a couple of hours in meditation. I didn’t wake Jarvis up to meditate with me this time. Tamaska and I needed this time with our elements. We all needed to recharge. They let me know they were at full strength and were ready. They also believe in the war that we are facing. The elements do not want to see a purely evil world. They need balance.While in meditation, mother moon visited me and Tamaska. She wanted to let us know everything would be ok.“Seleste, my child.”“Hi mother moon.”“Seleste, you are going to hear and see a lot on the battlefield. Trust your team to do what they need to do so you can focus on what you and the other moon warriors need to do. There will be a gift left for you at the palace. If you get the opportunity, use the gift. Tamaska will know what to do.”“What is the gift and what will it do?”“I can’t tell you that yet, but I will tell you that if everything lines up and Tamaska tells you to

    Like all good things, our nice mini vacation came to an unexpected end. I received a mind link from my beta, letting me know they needed us back. I linked him back, telling him we would be there shortly and asking him to arrange for the omegas to come take down the equipment after we left. I grudgingly woke up my sleeping mate.“Wake up Seleste. We have to get back.”“So soon? I was enjoying our time.”“Me too, baby. Beta just linked me. They need us back. It sounded urgent. I think it would be better if we ran back. The omegas will take care of everything and make sure all of our belongings get back to the pack house.”“Ok my alpha, let’s head back.”She jumps up, runs outside and shifts into Tamaska. Oh, my goddess. Tamaska is beautiful and majestic. She is the lightest silver I have ever seen. She almost looks like a shimmering white wolf. I will never tire of seeing her.

The sun is going down, but it is still light enough to see everything. We have at least another hour of light. That works perfectly.
