Taken

2-Meet My Mate

The night before training started I dreamt about me leading my pack. I took after my mom in looks, with dark eyes, red hair, and a petit body, and I could picture myself so vividly at the Alpha ceremony. My small body draped in a black gown and my hair in an elegant up do. I pictured myself looking like my mom did at her ceremony, but I knew I'd never be that beautiful.

I could hear my father say my name so clearly, saying I was the new Alpha.

"Evangeline Parks, Alpha of the Blue Moon Pack!" And I could hear people cheering. After the ceremony my mom, dad, and I watched Harry Potter, and my dad complained the whole time.

He was complaining, but come on, who doesn't love Ron?

But my dream was disrupted and my morning began with my father ripping the covers off my bed at 4:00 a.m. I groaned. Like I said, nobody should be awake before the sun.

"Eva! Up!" My father can be so caring sometimes.

On the second time that my dad ordered me up, I just flopped out of bed like any normal person does when they're tired. I made my dad get out of my room as I got ready. I put on some spandex shorts and a neon green sports bra. Unlike some people, I have some legit stomach muscles. Not a six-pack, but I'm getting there. Go four-packs!

I walk out of my room and into our pack house kitchen. Since our cooks were not up yet, I just got myself a protein shake and an apple. I didn't want to eat too much because I didn't want to get any cramps.

After my 'hearty' breakfast, I went out into the massive yard to see that my dad was waiting for me. I went up to him and my training day began

****

"Harder Eva! Harder!" My dad yelled at me. I rolled my eyes. A small smirk creeped up on my face. Stupid dirty mind.

After my warm up of push-ups, sit-ups, and crunches, I moved onto boxing. We had one of those dummies outside that were on the stand and whenever you punched it, it flung back at you. I think my dad expected me to knock it down.

Umm.... no.

After I got ruthlessly attacked by the inanimate object, I think he realized that boxing was definitely not for me, because he said we'd move on to running.

"Now, I want you to sprint 1 lap with no breaks. I know it sounds easy, but tomorrow, you're doing 2, than 3 and so on." he explained quickly.

"10-4 good buddy!" I was feeling awesome as running was my favourite. I quickly finished the lap, longing for more, but it was time for hand-to-hand combat. Joy... Not

It was on again off again for who was winning in the fighting. By the end, I had my dad pinned. He always said not to judge someone's fighting skills by their size. He sounded wise but he really only said it because my mom pinned him down in front of the whole pack.

My mom and dad were both already from Blue Moon. My dad's father was the old Alpha, and my mom was the old Beta's daughter. Her older brother is the Beta now. But I never get to see my uncle.

"Alright, that's enough for today. Tomorrow will be same length now, then an hour in the afternoon. Go back inside, kid." my dad is more fatherly after the training. During it, he's kind of cruel.

I went back inside to see most of the pack awake. I walked up the stairs to my room. In there, I had a queen size bed with a colourful polka dotted duvet. I have tons of multicoloured pillows, consisting of my favourite colours; blue, green, and a light purple colour. My headboard was a nice cream colour, matching the other furniture in my room.There is a flatscreen TV on the wall and some coaches in the corner. I have a matching desk in the opposite corner with a phone and laptop sitting on it.

I flopped down on my bed to partake in my next sport: marathon sleeping. I've got the gold medal for this one.

By the time I woke up, it was lunch time. I rushed down the stairs. I was quite active with eating too. I considered myself a competitive taco-eater, but any food was fine.

At the bottom of the stairs, my closest friend Mandy held a pizza box.

"Hey Mandy! Good idea for pizza! Meat lovers, I presume?" I asked.

"Oh, but of course Evangeline." She said, doing an awful British accent

We walked into the kitchen to get some plates when my dad came running in. I immediately knew this was serious- my dad doesn't run.

"Eva! Mandy! A pack is attacking! We need warriors, come on!" He yelled running out of the pack house. Mandy dropped the pizza box. I decided I'd mourn for the food later, my pack needed me. Our pack let both girls and boys fight and everyone got a choice if they wanted to train or not.

"Come on!" I yelled. We ran out together.

As soon as I reached the yard, I saw chaos. There was an enemy pack member on one of my friends. I jumped at them and shifted into my rusty red and grey coloured wolf. I saw the wolf attacking was a tad bigger than me, and I am a big wolf, so that meant he or she had Alpha blood. So what were they doing attacking a normal pack member? My friend Zoe didn't have any Alpha or Beta blood, so what was this wolf doing? Her father was just the pack doctor.

As I got closer, I got the scent and realized it was the Black Shadow Pack. I knew their new 'peaceful attitude' wasn't going to last, but I didn't think it would go this quick.

I body chucked the wolf off my friend. When I touched them, I felt sparks. So I knew 2 things: it was a male, and I was the Alpha's mate.

My mate was trying to kill my friends.

My family.

Me.
