Chapter 1

Darcy

I woke up to the sound of my alarm ringing in my ears and groaned knowing that I have to get ready for school. I hate going to school because people look at me like I am a piece of meat or an alien from another planet. It's as if they have never seen a she-wolf in their life. I think being an Alpha's daughter does have its drawbacks.

Boys only want to date me because I’m an Alpha's daughter. But, I am not interested in dating, especially guys who are only after getting power or something else from me.

I am such an idiot, I should have introduced myself first. I am Darcy Eris Campbell daughter of Alpha Jared Campbell from the Crescent Moon pack. We are one of the strongest and the most feared packs in New York. Especially with our pack having an alliance with the Royal Pack, which happens to be our neighbouring pack named Royal Midnight Moon Pack.

We are werewolves and we live together with our packs. Every pack has a hierarchy to ensure everything is the way it should be. The top rank in leadership is the Alpha who rules over everyone, yes I am an Alpha female. However, I am not the future Alpha that would be my twin brother Dylan. He is the first Alpha born and is 15 minutes older than me which is a lot according to him.

Then comes Luna, who is the Alpha's mate, they are also known as Alpha females. They have the same responsibility and power as the Alpha as they are considered to be equals. Then we have the Beta, who is the second in command and holds the strongest position after the Alpha and Luna. Then we have the Gamma who is also known as the third in command of the pack.

Then we have Delta's, Head Warriors, warrior leads who lead a small group of warriors, then we have warriors who protect the pack during attacks, normal pack members who are also known as residents of the pack and at last, are Omegas. They are the lowest in rank and are the ones who look after the pack by doing chores like cooking, cleaning, etc…

I am not the most loved in my pack because I am not loved by my parents. So, the pack members didn’t find me important enough to be loved. My father says that I am weak because I am not dominant like an Alpha is supposed to be and that I’ll bring shame to his name.

As for my mother, I don’t even exist for her because she is always busy being the perfect Luna which doesn’t include her loving me or spending time with me. The only good thing about my family that keeps me going is my brother Dylan. He loves me with all his heart and treats me like a princess. I am his princess only when he wants me to be otherwise he is very protective of me and ensures I am not troubled by anyone. He makes me feel loved and protected.

He is not the only good thing though there are other things as well that makes me happy. Those things are my best friends Lavender and Patrina. They are always there if I ever need them. Our school is coming to an end and after the school ends Dylan is going for his Alpha training for about two years to learn everything about being an Alpha.

I am happy for him but I am going to miss him a lot. Don’t tell him that I said that, he is so full of himself that it may increase his ego ten fold. We don’t want that now, do we?

Although I told him that he can learn everything he needed to from his best friend Colton, but, he said that it is mandatory for all the future Alpha's to be a part of the training so he will have to go. Colton is the soon to be Alpha King of the Royal Midnight Moon pack and I have loved him since I was a kid. But, he never even spared a glance at me.

I lost all the hope I had the moment he proposed Patrina and it hurt knowing he didn’t love me. I was still happy for them though. I couldn’t stop loving him even after I tried so hard. I decided I will let it go because I know I will fall in love with my mate the moment I see him. 

I am still laying on my bed not willing to leave the soft mattress and comfort of the sheets wrapped around me when the door to my room flung open and my dear brother entered to disturb my time in my bed.

“God Dylan there’s something called knocking which decent people do before entering someone's room” I groaned at him and he chuckled.

“Where is the fun in that princess? I would have missed the opportunity to see the grumpy look on your face. I couldn’t afford it” he replied laughing, making me roll my eyes at him.

“Now would you like to tell me what are you doing here?” I asked.

“You need to get ready or we are going to be late for school” he said smiling at me.

“How can someone be happy about going to school?” I asked grumpily.

“Everyone is not as unhappy as you are about going to school. Now come on” he said laughing.

“Ugh! Why are you so cheery about going to school?” I groaned knowing all too well the reason behind his happiness.

“Princess, you are the one with good grades. You do everything a good girl does except for the fact that you still hate going to school. It is going to end in a few days anyway. So, come on and get ready quickly” he replied to me with a smile.

“Fine. I will be down in about 20 minutes” I said rolling out of my bed.

I quickly made my way to the shower and adjusted the temperature as I liked. Once the water was warm enough I washed my hair using my favourite strawberry and vanilla-scented shampoo and conditioner. I then washed my body with my strawberry and vanilla-scented body wash.

It is my favourite scent and I made sure to buy everything with the same scent and that includes my perfume, although I had to get it custom made. I scrubbed my body with my body wash and rinsed it with warm water as it slowly relaxed my tensed muscles. I stepped out of the shower and dried myself with the towel wrapping one around my hair and the other around my body.

I exited the bathroom and made my way to my walk-in closet. I looked for something suitable to wear. I pulled on a pair of washed jeans and a simple white colour off-shoulder top. I pulled out my white lacy bra with matching underwear. I quickly dressed in my clothes and sat in front of my dresser.

I blow-dried my hair and brushed it, leaving it in long waves. I have long dark brown hair that reaches down to my lower back. I applied my strawberry lip balm and applied a little bit of eyeliner and mascara that makes my violet eyes pop and look more beautiful than they already are. Overall I look beautiful, I am also not short like many she-wolves. I am 5'11” tall and reach above Dylan's neck because he is taller than I am.

Dylan is 6’3” tall. He has short light brown hair with light brown eyes. He is beautiful and handsome. He is muscular but not bulky. Girls literally throw themselves at him in school. But, he doesn’t even look at them.

He wanted to wait for his mate, which is very rare as boys don’t wait for their mates, not when they have she-wolves on their heels to please them. I am really proud of my brother and I know that he is going to be the best mate there is. Although I see him taking glances at my best friend Lavender, like he is attracted to her and she has been crushing over him for as long as I can remember. I hope they are mates.

I quickly take my bag and make my way down to the kitchen where my family is already seated. I greet my parents and sit beside Dylan and eat my meal quietly. After finishing breakfast Dylan and I take our leave and make our way out of the house to Dylan's car.

I quickly hop in the passenger seat of the car and fasten my seatbelt as Dylan settles in his seat and starts the car. Soon we were on our way to school in comfortable silence with the radio playing one of our favourite songs.
