All Chapters of FINDING HER WAY : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Waking up with the sounds of nature spilling into my room. It was early but I enjoyed waking with the sun. The soft rays gently caressing my skin and the cool breeze coming in through the perpetually open window gave me a peaceful feeling. This was my favorite way to start the day.I lazily stretched in bed and grabbed my phone. Waking up the screen, I saw that it's Thursday. Only one more day before I was shipped off to the annual mating ball. This will be my first time attending as my eighteenth birthday coincides with the first day of the ball. Only unmated wolves between eighteen and twenty-nine are permitted to attend. Once a wolf turns thirty it's usually assumed their mate found someone else to mate with or they're dead. Most unmated wolves don't make it that far though. The majority of the mating ball attendees are between eighteen and twenty-three. After twenty-three the pull to mate is so strong that most wolves find someone convenient and passable to be their chosen mate.

As we drive off the pack territory towards our school I see Lucy tense a little. I can tell she's getting nervous and I assume it has something to do with the ball tomorrow."Whatcha thinkin' about, Lucy?"She sighs but doesn't take her eyes off the road. "I don't want to lose you Amoret. What if we find our mates tomorrow and we never see each other again? I can't live without my best friend. You're my sister."I hadn't really thought that far into it. I didn't have much faith in finding my mate my first year at the ball. It took many wolves a few tries before finding the other half of their soul. Only one of my three older brothers found his mate on the first try and that's because they were the same age. I didn't really realize that Lucy might find hers before I do though.It's common for there to be at least some sort of age gap between mates so one could be looking for years before finally finding them. Some people never find their mate because one of them gets frustrated and giv

As I was sitting there staring blankly at the map for the umpteenth time, I heard someone walking in my direction. I looked around and found the perfect tree to get my vantage point from. As the warrior came into view, I noticed it was the same one from before. He walked to the stream, abruptly turned around, and went back the way he came from.It almost seemed like he was following a specific path. My gut was telling me this was deliberate. Is it possible the random lines on the map weren't so random? Could they be the paths set up by my father for the warriors to follow? If so, I would only need to figure out exactly where I am on the map and I could easily avoid them.Once the warrior had left, I decided to follow his path in order to get an idea of which line could be his. I followed him for a couple hundred feet and then he made an abrupt right turn at a stump. I looked at my map and saw that there was only one line that made a similar turn and I started to orient myself. I wasn'

Amoret's POVI have been waxed, plucked, lotioned, and bathed. I think Lucy applied a mask to every inch of my body. I didn't even know hair masks existed. What do they even do?? Lucy didn't even give me a break for lunch. She made me eat the sandwiches my brother Acedelivered while she was plucking my eyebrows. It was darn near impossible and I didn't get nearly enough food to quench my hunger.As I was slowly sneaking towards the door of my room, Lucy exited the bathroom drying her hands."Just where do you think you're going? Hm?" she asked with her hands on her hips."I'm starving Lucy. I just want to go grab some of the leftover pizza from last night. I promise I'll be back in two minutes!" I begged."Pizza! Amoret you can't eat greasy food right now. You have a dress to fit into and you don't want to break out from eating junk food. No Amoret , get your butt back in here and sit down so I can work on your hair. We only have two hours left and we both need to be ready in that ti

Sebastian POVUgh, my fourth mating ball. Is it even worth it anymore? I'm beginning to think my visions aren't going to come true. I've seen her, if only from a distance. I've heard her voice, in a crowd of others. I've heard her laugh, and oh what a beautiful sound that is. I've been dreaming of this girl since my eighteenth birthday. Always the same girl. Always beautiful and kind. I'm so drawn to her in these dreams. It must be her. My mate."My goddess, Sebastian . Are you going to the ball or not?"I looked up to see my best friend and second in command, Adan. "Er, yeah. Just mentally preparing myself, you know?" I replied halfheartedly."Well you're going to need to physically prepare yourself too if we're ever going to make it," he retorted.I looked down and realized what he meant. I'm still wearing yesterday's clothes and my hair is an absolute mess. It's been crazy here the past few days and I haven't had a moment to myself. Always people pulling me in different directions
