"Are you really going to that lame youth parliament thingy?" Zia was sprawled on the bed, her head upside down on the edge.
Mia had been trying to get into this inter Clan Youth Parliament for two years now. Zia didn’t understand Pack politics, socioeconomic shit, her brain worked in simple gears. Give her wood and she will make fire with it not pen.
Mia mumbled in herself, going through the points she will be saying in the debate. Zia was getting bored. When Mia got into study mode it was the worse thing ever. Zia tried to poke her in the rib.
"Stop it, Zia!” Mia yelled in frustration. She had eaten half of her fingernails in nervousness. “Would you please let me concentrate?"
"Why are you sweating it? It's not like you are gonna win," Zia sat up straight on the bed and regarded her sister.
"Really, Zia? Thanks for the encouragement," Mia turned her back towards her and went back to reading.
Zia hugged her from the back, "I really do want you to win but we very well know the jury is biased towards the Yoda Pack." Yoda Pack was the strongest Pack among the werewolves. Their Alpha was a ruthless demon worse than Zia’s father. His son, the rumoured future alpha of the Pack, was winning Youth parliament from the last three years.
"That is absolutely not true. They can’t be biased. People won’t let them get away with it," Mia said closing her book with a thump, giving Zia a challenging stare.
"Okay, sis. Whatever makes you feel good." Zia shrugged.
"They have really good speakers," Mia defenced.
"Or maybe they are the most fucking powerful clan in the world and the jury is scared of them," Zia said in a mocking tone.
"Zia?!! Would you please watch your language," Mia squealed. She picked up her book and started reading it again, "I am gonna study now. Don't disturb me."
Turns out Zia was right. Mia couldn't win the debate. She tried her best, she made her way to the finals but the future alpha of Yoda got it once again. The brown-haired god, with eyes so deep and voice made of honey, won the freaking debate. His had everyone’s attention once his mouth opened. He stood taller than all the teachers at the age of seventeen. He had an authority about him no one could deny. He was supposed to be the less famous sibling. His older brother Mac, a moon wolf was the topic of discussion not him. Yet as he stood on the stage every eye was trained on him, the high school girls salivated to get a piece of him. The guys wished they could be like him, so confident and sure.
Zia and Rachel sat in the audience gawking at Jordan as one of the judges handed him the first prize. Zia had never seen a guy like him, not in her clan. She never felt this way for a guy. Sometimes she really thought something was wrong with her. Either she was broken or gay. Today she knew she was a woman just like her sister. Her heart drummed, hands sweated and head made thousands of images of him in a various sexual position. She had to physically shake her head to get the image out of her mind. It was embarrassing. And it was new.
Mia wasn’t any better. She had never been this happy for losing a competition. No one could win this charismatic guy. Mia would believe the earth is flat if Jordan said so. Jordan. The name made her tingle in places she had recently started to discover. She had kissed some of the Pack boys but they would be nothing compared to him. He was all muscles and power. He could make a woman wet just by a look alone. Mia was dying to talk to him and she knew she would. If he was the son of an alpha she was the daughter of an alpha too.
Jordan’s eyes briefly glanced at Mia as he descending down the stage. There was something about the way he looked at her that made her heart beat faster. It wasn’t a normal yeah-you-are look, it was an I-see-you look.
Mia and Rachel were hanging out at the backyard of the Lincoln Hall. Zia was nowhere to be seen but then she always managed to get herself into trouble even in the most unlikely of places.
“I don’t even want to call her. I can already hear her ‘I told you so’.” Mia said looking around the big field full of final year students. Mia and Rachel were the only fifteen-year-old there. Mia was the youngest girl to get selected for the youth parliament so it shouldn’t have come as a surprise.
Rachel was smiling at Mia when she stiffened all of a sudden. "I think the future alpha of Yoda Pack is checking you out. Don't look back," Rachel whispered.
Mia stood still trying not to make any sudden movement. She could almost feel his gaze pierce through her.
"My god Mia, he's coming right over," Rachael said, all panicked.
"Hi," she could recognise his voice anywhere in the world. In person, it sounded even deeper. Sexier.
Mia turned to him. She tried to form the world hi but no sound came out of her mouth. She cleared her throat and tried again. "Hi," this time it was much better.
"I..." he chucked almost blushing. Mia bit her lip, it was the sexiest thing ever. "I am Jordan. I guess you probably know that already. I made some really cool arguments, I was impressed."
"And still you won." Mia bit her tongue in regret. It sounded less bitchy in her head. "I am just kidding. You were great," she added immediately.
"That's fine. Maybe, the jury was biased," Jordan winked making the both of them chuckle. Yeah, he heard the rumours too.
They both shifted from toe to toe, standing before each other awkwardly. Jordan had done this plenty of time and by the way, the girl before him was blushing he knew he had totally got this. He was at top of his game yet this was different. This girl was different. He had his suspicions but he couldn’t draw a conclusion until he had spent some time with her.
"I don't know how to ask you this but would you like to have coffee with me?" He said scratching the back of his head.
Well in a normal circumstance Mia would have denied right away. They were strictly not allowed to date boys from different clan but it was Jordan they were talking about. No one could deny him.
"Yeah...umm,” Mia blushed. “I would love that."
They walked to a nearby coffee shop, she asked Rachel to keep an eye on Zia.
They both walked into the restaurant, all the eyes were turned to Jordan. Mia wasn’t all that unaffected, she could not take her eyes off of him as well. Unlike her sister, Mia had her fair share of experience with boys. Jordan wasn’t any boy had dated ever.
"If you keep staring at me like that I might have to ask you for your number," Jordan said smirking. His eyes peering down on her. The innocence gone replaced by the confident boy she had seen on the stage.
How on earth did she get so lucky?
"Then I shouldn’t stop staring."

Zia got into a fight. The pissy boy was trying to mouth her off. Her father’s Pack, the Rikti wasn’t the most liked pack in werewolf community. Their ways were crude, their Alpha was a shit head. Zia agreed strongly but that did not mean she would hear anything negative about her people. Her pack members were her family and she could not stand anyone talk foul of them. When the boy used degrading words for the woman of her Pack, she lost it.
She was ready to change into her wolf and rip his head off when Rachel came running to her.
“What the fuck are you doing?” Rachel held her by the waist and pulled her away. The boy and his friends laughed making her angrier.
“Let me go, Rachel. The guy is going to get the shit beaten out of him today.” Zia tried to free herself but Rachel pulled her away warning her about their Alpha. He would make sure to ground Zia if he found out about her bravado.
“We need to leave,” Rachel panted looking at the boys who weren’t all done with Zia. It wouldn’t be the first time when Zia had put herself in danger outside their territory.
Rachael called Mia so they could leave as soon as possible.
Mia was completely smitten by Jordan. He knew how to make a girl feel special. Her phone rang showing the caller Id of Rachel. "I gotta take this call," Mia excused herself.
"Why are you calling me?" Mia angrily whispered in the speaker holding in near her mouth.
"Zia got into trouble. You need to come right now." Rachael shouted on the phone. Mia head immediately went to George, he was a magnet to such things. If he found out about Zia or Mia. God, if he found out she was out with Yoda pack’s future alpha he would kill her.
"Calm down. I'll be right there," Mia disconnected the phone cursing inwardly. She didn’t want the day to end so soon.
She came back to the table. "I need to get going. My friend is waiting for me."
"I understand. Can I have that number that you promised?" Jordan handling his phone to her.
"Yeah," Mia smiled. They exchanged numbers and said their goodbyes.
Jordan leaned forward to hug Mia but it was a mistake. He could literally feel a jolt of electricity all through his body. He had his suspicions but he was certain now. His wolf yelped at the contact.
Mia had no idea what was going on. Jordan wasn’t letting her go. Although she was loving the sensation of him on her body she was getting late. If Zia hurt herself, or George somehow found out about this meeting she will be doomed.
They moved away slowly staring at each other longingly before departing.
