Wakey wakey Amber, and happy birthday sweetie...
The voice floats through the air as a remnant from my dream and I smile. It was my birthday at last and to top it off, it was a full moon.
I get showered and dressed quickly, styling my hair with two braids that meet at the back of my head and continues down as one long braid, the rest of my hair flowing freely.
I grab the high low blue off the shoulder sweetheart neckline figerskating styled dress and a white crop jean jacket vest and my knee high stalkings and black boots.
Lastly I put on some make up and took out my mother's white gold necklace with its matching earings and charm bracelet, grabbing my normal bag and heading towards the door. My room was bare now, everything else in boxes and ready for when I move out.
I looked back at the room one last time before I start decending the stairs and into the kitchen.
"Morning Blue."
"Morning Am, happy birthday." I smile as I sit down, Blue placing a plate of tripple chocolate chip banana pancakes and a measuring cup of melted mint chocolate to pour on top.
Then he slides an envelope towards me and I look at it suspiciously.
"Its your birthday gift, not a bomb."
I couldn't help but laugh as I open the envelope and taking the card out.
"Thanks" I say happily, ripping open the paper and reading the card.
I smiled at the check and frowned. It was six hundred thousand dollars, not the three we planned, and another hundred in cash.
"Seven hundred thousand?" I question, getting a gentle smile.
"Thats from me." Blue gets up and walks to a cupboard, taking out a box.
"This is from your parents. You're eighteen now." He said, handing me an ancient oak box.
Inside it was a beautiful diamond and white gold locket in the shape of a paw print, the diamon the shape of a wolf. The earings were the same. There was even a card and I read it carefully.
Our dear Amberle,
In case anything happens to us, Blue offered to take care of you and promis to give you this gift on your eighteenth birthday.
Our lawer held onto the money that was left to you and Blue will transfer it to any account that you desire.
As well as the pendant that holds the picture of you as a baby as well as us three on the last birthday we were together.
We also leave to you the mustang convertable and all of our jewellery as well as the bonds that are probubly collecting dust in Blue's desk.
Always know that we loved you no matter what and to keep your head held high.
Love Mom and Dad.
I read and reread the letter that was in my parents hand writing. It was clear that they took turns to write and I loved it even more.
"How much did they leave me?"
"Over a hundred million."
I nodd and carefully put the note in the box and the box in my bag.
"I'm off to school." I whisper, passing my siblings who just glared at me.
"Remember Amber, your party is in the meadow" I hear Blue call out and I smiled. Tonight was going to be the night I found my mate.
I drove to school in my cadillac, parking in he only available parking spot that sadly was beside Leo and his crew.
Today was my day tho and I wouldn't let anything get me down.
I smile and get out, struttig past the jock air heads and catching them staring at me.
"Hey Amber, why the new change of clothes?" It was Matt, a future alpha. I turned and smiled at him, winking while I walk backwards.
"I'm eighteen today." That got the group cheering happy birthday at me as they stared at me. I was hot and now everyone would know.
My day went great and I heard that my friends would be at the party when at lunch, the group surprising me with a Bleach themed cake. I grinned as I held Byakuya in my hands, his sword starting to shatter into the flower pettal like pieces.
My day ended with a gift from my art teacher, a new professional sketch book and a bunch of professional sketch pencils and pencil crayons.
I drove home happily, driving to the old shed and putting everything in the mustang.
I would be leaving in a week when school ends. I spent my time wandering the grounds and finding myself at the burnt down remains of my childhood family home.
Nothing was left, not even the hut my dad used to cut up our haul from the hunt.
I could hear the music from where I was and a smile grew on my face as I made my way down the path, the party comming to view.
"There she is!" Yelled Blue and everyone looked at me and yelled out "Happy Birthday Amber.!"
I started thanking everyone as I made my way through the crowd towards the barbeque where Axel, the beta, stood.
"Want some food?"
"Yes please." I smile as a plate of kabobs and salad was placed into my hands.
"Thanks."
"No problem, oh, and here. Happy Birthday." He handed me a small bag and winksd and I couldn't help but giggle.
Slowly I make my way through the crowd till I find my friends sitting at two benches that were put together, a chair that looked like a throne seated at the end.
"There she is." Mel says as she sits me at the chair.
Everyone started talking about how their finals are over and that this party was both one to let loose and celebrate me.
The hours flew by and pack members came to say happy birthday and give me a gift. I was glad for the card board box that Blue had brought me to put my gifts in.
It was almost midnight and the moon was full and high in the sky.
"Time to cut the cake birthday girl." Blue came over and grabbed my box of goodies while Axel picked me up and placed me on his strong shoulds.
"Aaah don't drop me!" I cry out, wraping my arms around his head and clutching his soft hair.
"I won't." He laughs out.
Slowly we make our way to the center with my friends trailing behind me.
As we reached the middle, a purple cake could be seen and I could see why I was placed on Axel's shoulder.
The cake was about ten tiers high with the typical happy birthday and my name scrawled on it.
The top had a large candle on it that was the number eighteen.
I smiled.
Everyone started singing happy birthday, even the jock crowd, they even did the usual how old are you now song and at the eighteen I blew out my candle, the clearing erupting in cheers.
I got to cut my piece before Axel put me down, causing me to stumble into someone.
MATE
The word ran through my head and my eyes widen as I turn to look at who I was destined to be with, meeting the shocked face of Leo.
"You're my-"
"Mate? Now why would I want to be mates with a sniveling idiot like you." My hear broke and I though he was done but he continued.
"Give me a good reason why would I want to be your mate, you're nothing more then a stupid bïtch who got her parents killed!"
"You were the one who steered me to that cave so it is also your fault." I scream out, watching his face contort with rage.
"I Leo Bloodsbain reject you as my mate forever!" He sneers at me, his face inches from mine.
I snaped, grabbing Leo and throwing him into the cake in front of everyone.
"Get this straight. I Amberle Crest reject you as my mate as well as anyone who has treated me like a worthless heap of trash and a slave when Blue and the elite four had to go deal with pack business. I vow to become the greatest wolf that you would all regret treating me the way you did." With that I take my box of goodies that the people who cared about me the most gave and stormed away.
I could hear Blue yelling at his son and calling him an idiot as the wolves made a path for me, getting out of my way.
I headed for the shed and opened the doors wide, making room for my convertible as I placed the box in the back seat. I was a milionair, it was time for me to start new.
I drove away from the only place I knew, the free air whipping at my face.
[Good Bye.] Was the last thing I sent through the whole pack.
I was a rogue now, it was time I started caring about myself.
