Chapter 1

"Crystal!!Where did you put it! Where did you put my Harry styles shirt"I yell and stormed across my room into my sister's.

She has been has been getting on my nerves lately. Ever since I told her I didn't want a grand party for our 18th year celebration.

Just go with our traditional celebration and find our mates.

I slammed the door open to reveal an empty room.

Where is that little piece of shit!

"Crystalise,come downstairs right now"my mom voice yells from downstairs and I groan before leaving my sister's room.

She is so lucky I didn't trash it. I am going for a concert and I really need to wear that freaking shirt.

And before you can ask,yes I am crazy about Harry styles and I am his biggest number one fan. Also yes we are allowed to mingle with human as long as we mask our scent.

Our biggest enemies are the vampires. They have been vandalizing our pack boarders lately. The witches are more cool than them.

Our Alpha has been trying to protect us as much as possible.

Speaking of alpha,he is the first person I see when I descended the last stairs.

Sitting down in his all glory,his man spreading and strong thighs.

He is the most handsome man alive, strong, chiseled jawline, pointed firm nose, prettiest and brightest green eyes ever. His pink beautiful full lips that can do unimaginable things to a girl,is now set into a thin line.

He is frowning as usual, never smiling, always having a blank face.

Beside him was his beta,Darius,also having a blank face but a little bit relaxed.

"Crystalise,come sit down and stop standing there like a moron. And what are you wearing?"my dearest brother,Kaden says.

I blush when I realized I was dressed like a homeless person,baggy top and lose sweat pant.

My face even turn redder when I realized everyone was looking at me now. Crystal was smirking.

"Sorry"I squeak and secretly gave my brother the middle finger before taking my seat beside my dad.

He was the former beta of the pack to Alpha Eli, before he retired and his son Alpha Zander took control.

"So as I was saying, Crystal and Crystalise will meet you on the night of their birthday,that is this coming Saturday, before mingling with the other men"dad says.

Yeah,I forgot about that. Alpha Zander hasn't found his mate yet since he turned 18, seven years ago. So every year,all the female unmated wolves meet him person on the night of their birthday before meeting anyone else.

Thinking about that brings butterfly to my stomach. I have been in love with ever since I reached puberty but not once as he looked my way.

Rumor has it that he has been secretly seeing my sister. But I don't believe it,he wouldn't be with someone underaged.

Although it isn't a crime here, people find their mates as early as 15. The consent age here is 16. No judging but no,he wouldn't do that.

"That would be perfect. I'll be taking my leave now. We need to check the boarders again"he says,his baritone voice ringing across the room and my body.

"Stop staring at him like that,you'll drool"my sister whispers in my ears.

"Fuck off Crystal!I am already mad at you for stealing my shirt"

Dad and the Alpha talk for a while before he leaves but not before glancing behind him and his eyes falls on mine but it quickly leaves as it came  and it moves to my sister's.

His eyes softens and he smiles a little at her.

No.

I am just imagining it.

.

"So how is the preparation for the birthday going"my best friend,Tasha asks.

"You know crystal has everything covered. She is doing all the planning,I just need to be there for the rituals"I shrugs and close my locker.

We begun to walk down the hall,

"Sometimes I petty you my friend,you have no back bone,you need to stand up for yourself. This is also your birthday"she says

"I don't really care,I just want to find my mate and go to college like everyone else" I tell her.

"You wouldn't love that when you have a baby"she says

Tasha is two years behind in school. She found her mate before her final year of highschool and fell pregnant immediately,she had to dropout and take care of the children and then return two years later.

"But you are okay. Faye has been helping you out"I say referring to her husband.

"Yeah,he is goddess sent. "She says and just then the bell rings.

"I'll see you at basketball practice"she says and we parted ways into our various classes.

Oh shit, I left my phone in my car.

I groan and walked back out of the car.

I retrieved my phone an was about leaving when a rattle from the forest startled me.

"Who is there?"I asked with confidence I didn't have.

I walked closer to ready to call for help if it was danger,by that I mean Cunning vampires.

I entered the shallow forest and the noise seems to be moving forward.

I need to alert my brother.

I immediately shifted into my gray wolf. I haven't been able to talk to her since I shifted when I was 16. Dad said we'll hear them when we turn 18.

Bones cracked and finally I was in my wolf form. Fuck this hurt! 2 years and I still can't handle the pain.

I sprint toward the moving sound but it disappears after a few minute.

I stopped in my tracks realizing I just fucked up.

Oh shit!

What is wrong with me! Why didn't I just call my brother.

I tried to get in touch with him but nothing comes.

Oh freaking shit!

I am out of our boarders.

My limbs begin to shake when I hear rattling again.

This is how it ends Crystalise. You didn't get to kiss Alpha Zander and you are about to die.

I am sorry mom and dad. Please forgive me.

"Who are you and what do you want in my territory!"a strong yet a very familiar voice says.

I turned around so fast I thought I teleported.

There he was, standing there was Alpha Zander,in nothing but sweat pants,that is hanging low on his waist.

His v-line disappear into the pants. He looks so yummy right with his glistening body.

"Shift!"he commands and I did without a thought.

Maybe I should have thought about it because now I am naked Infront of him.

"Oh fuck!"he curses under his breath and turns around.

"What are you doing here! Are you trying to get yourself killed!"he yells before throwing me a shirt.

I put it on immediately and he faces me again. His face raging in anger.

"I thought...."he cuts me off

"Get out of here. I don't want you near this grounds anymore! Do you understand!" he says in his alpha tone making me kneel.

"Yes alpha!" I mutter before walking away.

Asshole.
