“I am free!” I yelled as I burst through the doors of my high school. It was the end of junior year, summer break was officially here which meant two wonderful months of no homework. I was on cloud nine.
“Why are you so excited?” My best friend and future sister-in-law asked me as she grabbed my arm, looping her tiny one through mine.
“Because Cam Donald, it is summer break. What normal teenager in their sane minds wouldn’t be excited?” I asked her looking down at her bright blonde head. Cam was a petite little thing and somehow that tiny frame always made everyone instantly protective of her. Well, until they heard her open her mouth.
“Hmm, let me think.” She stopped in her tracks and turned to face me, her bright eyes shining with amusement as she placed a slender finger on her chin in mock thought. I knew this was going to be interesting.
“A teenager that has to study and train nonstop this summer, that has to plan a very grand birthday party, oh yeah and one that will be announcing in less than a month something that is going to change our pack forever.” Sara, our other friend and third to our trio, said smiling over at me innocently. I could feel all the excitement of summer break leaving me.
How could I forget? How could I forget something that had been drilled into my mind for the last six months of my life? This time next month I would be 17 years old and on the night of my birthday celebration I would be announced as the Alpha female of the Blue Moon Pack. I groaned out loudly causing the people around us to stop in their tracks and look at me as if I was losing my damn mind. And I think they were right.
It had been six months since the night Alpha Zander Blake proposed to the best friend of his adopted sister. A 16 year old wild child biker chick who had been pretty much rejected by anyone outside of her family for more than half her life because of the person she was. She had found herself moving to a new pack after the tragic death of her last surviving parent to live with her older brother. In this new pack she found a female best friend, something she had never had since she was 8. In this new pack she found herself being adopted unofficially as part of the Alpha and Beta’s family. Until she found herself falling for the Alpha and discovering the feelings were more than mutual. Want to take a wild guess who this girl was?
Yep, you guessed it people. I, Aimi Clarke, wild child biker was the future wife and mate of Alpha Zander Blake. At the age 16 I was going to lead a pack of over a hundred shifters by the side of my mate, 26 year old Zander. Wasn’t my life awesome?
Well, it was actually, I thought as his face instantly popped into my head at the mere thought of him. His short, trimmed goatee framing his delicious lips and giving an air of authority to his defined chin. Not that he needed it standing at around 6’5”, toned, solid, and very well built. His short buzz cut dark hair that I loved to run my hands over adding a hint of danger to him. And his eyes, his cold grey eyes that took in everything about you. I shivered at just the thought of my mate.
When we had agreed to mate, Zander had proposed. He wanted to let the world know I was his in every way possible. Plus, since I wasn’t allowed to be marked and mated with him yet it was a symbol of our commitment until the time came. But with it came the other issues. Like the fact we weren’t telling the pack yet who his Alpha female was.
On Christmas Eve, he had proposed in a very grand romantic gesture thanks to my best friend. But due to our age difference and the unorthodox manner of it all, the council and we had decided to keep it a secret from the pack until my 17th birthday. They knew he had chosen a mate, since he actually had a deadline to pick one by the New Year or step down as Alpha. But no one knew who the woman was.
It had been an interesting few months in the halls of my all shifter high school as people speculated who the Alpha female was. All sorts of rumors spread, some even as odd as saying that the Beta Female was going to be the new Alpha Female and leave her husband for Zander. That had been the oddest and to be perfectly honest, most sick of them. Megan, the Beta female, was like a sister to Zander and the idea was like incest to him. But that wasn’t the best part of the rumors.
