"But what about Ty, why can't we send him instead? We can proclaim a new agreement with them. He's stronger, and he'll be a better warrior then she can..." Mom implores, hoping for a way out for me to get out of this mess and not have to leave. "No, it's ok. ....mom I will go Alpha. If that will be all, may I have permission to leave?" Alpha Brock nods. I began to stand, getting ready to take my leave. "Question though, Alpha if you don't mind?" "Of course not what is it?" Alpha Brock responds. "It's just... we still have, a few months before school ends, I'm supposed to graduate this year. Will I not be allowed to even finish high school? Or how will this work?" He takes a long endearing sight, "Yes dear, our contract with them will only last five years. You will receive your high school diploma, and you will also have to attend a quick introduction to a career of your choice before coming back home. You will be given your diploma the day you return. While you are away, you must not contact anyone, no one may know of where you are. This has to stay a secret between us. No one must find out you are leaving, besides us. everyone will think that you are away in college. Is that understood?" "Yes Alpha." "Selene?" "Yes" "No one, not even Ty." He warns. "Understood "
Selene's POV
"Selene. Selene, where are you?"
The sudden sound of my mother's voice brings me out of my trance. My mind had traveled away, back to my thirteenth birthday. Back to the day when our first shifting ceremony had taken place.
I'd always been the kind to isolate myself away from everyone. I don't like being in the company of others, specially in the presence of other girls.
They all seemed to want to get close to me for one thing only, to get close to my twin brother Tyler, and his arrogant best friend, Blake Landon. Blake is the next in line to become alpha of our pack. My brother Tyler, as he says, will become his beta.
That day, I had gone out to walk by myself. I loved taking long walks through the forest, it's just so peaceful. The feel of the ruffle from the branches, the crinkle sound of the leaves crushed under my feet, the warm of the sun on my skin, and the smell of the woods. Everything about the forest is just magical.
It must of been just a few minutes before my eyesight became blurry. Everything around me became dazed, and I began seeing color circles in the air. The pit of my stomach balled up in a painful knot, and I had a sharp stab in my chest. My body was fast loosing its energy within.
I could hear the voice of a woman echoing in the distance. I couldn't make out what she was saying, her voice faded away as I kept walking. It sounded as if she sang, or perhaps she chanted. Nevertheless, her voice sounded so sweet.
I faintly remember how she looks from the small glimpse I saw of her; her beauty was indescribable, her physique like no other. She was a mere image of an angel.
Before long, everything around me went blank, and my body lost all of its energy.
I was awakened at what seemed minutes later by my mother, Rebecca Slate and our Luna, Christy Landon.
Luna talked to my mother. They held a conversation among themselves and argued for a while about something. I was so dazed, my mind could not process nor comprehend what was happening. I couldn't make out what they were saying. My father picked me up, my body felt so weak it was unwilling to respond.
My eyes fluttered at a rapid pace on their own, as if they'd spasm. Before I knew it, I had passed out ones more in his arms.
That day, when I woke up, I had a loud ringing in my ear. I felt a huge painful throbbing headache that was stilling me from moving an inch without me feeling as if my head would explode. All I could do was lay there, wondering what it was that the mystery women was saying. Why was she calling for me? Who was she? What did she want from me?

My dad's name is Chansey Slate, he is Beta to our Alpha, Brock Landon. My father is married to Rebecca Slate, and I have a brother named Tyler, who is my twin.
We look completely opposite. I have dark brown hair, his is raven black, which I envy to be honest. He's darker skinned toned then I am. He's extremely well built, meaning he's super muscular for his age, since he is always working out! And I mean literally whirling out all the damn time, just like his arrogant best friend Blake.
I on the other hand have fair caramel skin, just a bit lighter then Tyler's. Fair plumped lips; and I'm short in stature at five feet and four inches.
Like I said, my brother works out almost all day long. When he's not in school or training, he's lifting and training. But always working out.
He's always say, "You don't get it little sis...It's because, we're getting close to our eighteenth birthday, and I have to look my best for my mate when the time comes to meet her."
If you ask me, they should be more focused in training in case of a rogue attack. Typical, that most men in our pack have the same mentality. All they look forward to is turning eighteen, and finding their stupid mate. Complete arrogance if you ask my opinion. I can care less about finding my mate.
For the past few weeks, Alpha Brock, and our Luna have been announcing a party they will be hosting for tonight, in honor of their son Blake. He is turning eighteen today, and in just a few hours he will officially become our next Alpha. Then, he will find himself his mate, if he hasn't found her already; afterwards, we will be announced and introduced to our new Luna. Well, as soon as their mating bond is completed of course. Yay, how fun.... can you hear my excitement? Please! I rather lock myself in my
room, and bury myself in my books.
I don't do people. Anything that has to do with talking, or interacting with others, is out of the question for me. I don't like being around anyone, no matter how much I try, I just like being alone! Call me awkward if you want, I just can't be around people for too long! It's just not me.
Luna had asked to speak with me before the whole ceremony took place. I was really hoping it had to do with that day of my first shifting, and why I kept passing out. The whole thing is just so weird. Every time I try and ask my parents, they just change subjects on me or act like they didn't hear me.
Ever since then, the same thing has happened to me again. Each year, days before my birthday. I
mean literally, every freaking year, like a clock! I start feeling all weird, I get my energy drenched from my body, and then!! I pass out! I have no idea how I even make it back to my room, or who brings
me. NOTHING! There's times I don't even recall how I got to the damn forest.
Here is a true fact; as a werewolf, everyone is so eager to find their mates on their eighteenth birthday. Even my damn wolf Hazel. But, all I want is answers! answers as to what is happening to me.
"Selene? seriously now! I have been calling for you, for the past ten minutes child. Get your head out
of the clouds. Luna and Alpha Brock are waiting for you at the office. Please, don't have them waiting. Hurry up and go!"
"Ok, sorry!! I'm coming," I answer sarcastically making mother frown. I sigh and get off from my bed. I place my book on the nightstand, and begin to make my way down the steps to the office.
