I quickly walk over to my house and step into chaos. My mothers running around trying to tighten my father's tie why brushing her hair and Victoria is running up the stairs and into the bathroom, half her hair curled "go get ready now, your dress is already laid out" my Mother instructs putting in a pair of dangly earrings.

I nod and look over her, she's wearing a dark grey dress coming down to her knees. A belt accentuates her small waist and matching heels have a small dark blue bow on the toe. Her blonde hair is curled and half of it is pulled back letting the rest fall down her shoulders. Light makeup is painted into perfection on her face.

"You look nice" I compliment but she waves me of and tells me to hurry...I see she's back to normal now

I make my way upstairs, confused on why I need to look nice, it's not like he'll look at me...Scar made that clear. I'm sure his type is more like Victoria, the rest of the wolves love her and I have no doubt my parents will stop at nothing to get there beloved daughter with someone as high up as an alpha.

I step into my room and see the dress my Mother has picked out. It's a light blue summer dress, it has thin straps and white lining across the hems, buttons line up the middle and a small bow rest on the middle of the bust. I smile, glad she didn't force me to wear one of Victoria's dresses.

I strip from my leggings and T-shirt and slip it over my body. I zip it up by myself and smile as I twirl in the mirror. It actually looks very nice. I smile and run my hands through my silver strands, maybe I should curl it. No that'd be too much. It already has waves throughout because of the layers in my hair. I just brush my fingers through it and put on a pair of flats.

As I step out of my room Victoria, who has the room across from me, steps out as well. She's in a flashy bright red dress, it hugs her hourglass body to a T. Her heels are at least three inches and her makeup is fresh and flawless, dirty blonde locks curled.

She rolls her eyes as she sees me and heads down stairs. I sigh and walk into the bathroom, compared to my Sister and Mother I feel like I should do maybe more. I put on a little eyeliner, mascara, and clear gloss on my already red lips. I smile at my reflection and run my hand through my hair once more.

I step out of the bathroom and head for the stairs "come on Eve we can't be late" my Father says, irritated, and I nod hurrying down to them

They're already out the door by the time I make it to the last step. I follow the three of them through the grass to the entrance of our pack where the alpha is supposed to come in by. There's already a crowd of people split in half to allow a walkway for him. The grass is wet from a light shower hours ago, the yellow gleam of sunlight leaks trough the light grey clouds and makes the ground sparkle.

I shake my head and look around, everyone really is dressed in there best. The warriors are placed in the front of the forrest opening, the council is next, that's where we are, and then the rest of the pack is behind us.

I see Scarlet on the other side of the walkway, the empty green grass separates us. I start to walk over to her but my father places a strong hand on my shoulder and pulls me back, I look up to his blue eyes and he shakes his head, I frown but stay put.

"Hey" I hear someone say beside me and I turn to see Logan

"Hey" I smile and move away from my family a little, making sure to still be next to them.

I'm surprised at his calmness I thought he'd be more angry about the alpha "Are you ready to meet the new Alpha?" He asks and I shrug with a sigh

"I just feel like everyone forgot about Lucian" I say quietly, keeping down my tears

Logan frowns and apologise "everyone just wants to make a good impression for the new guy that's all" he tells me and I nod

Everyone stops there chatter when we hear hard sets of paws slamming down into the earth. A deep, spine chilling howl erupts from the forrest, birds flying away as it echoes off the trees. My heart rate spicks as we hear them get closer. They stop running in the distance and a few moments later we hear regular footsteps but still the ground shakes at the intensity. Chill bumps appear on my arms and I flatten out my dress, feeling more nervous than I thought.

I keep my head down, the sound of three people's footsteps getting closer. When I hear several quiet gasps my eyes beg to lift but I keep them down. There scents fill my nose and one in particular smells different from anything I've smelt before...it must be the alphas. At this point I wish I could hear what the pack was thinking, I want to know what he looks like but something inside me forces my eyes down.

My eyes shift over to my family, Father stands tall like he's trying to show off, my Mother hugs my father's arm and smiles like she was just awarded the Nobel prize. My Sister on the other hand pulls down her already low cut dress further, exposing her cleavage. She smiles and runs her hand through her hair and bites her red stained lips. I roll my eyes but my heart continues to beat rapidly. I can't help, it I have to see.

I lift my eyes slowly and sweep the pathway to see what my family's act is all about. I see three people, a man, probably around twenty, with a woman to his hip, who looks the same age. He's attractive, chestnut brown hair messily spiked up in a quiff, dark green eyes and tan skin. The girl on his arm I'm assuming is his mate, her hair is blonde with natural dark lowlights all the way through. Her golden eyes are bright as she looks around and waves to the people she passes, her pink lips curled up in and a smile. I smile, sharing her giddiness, my eyes move to the man in front of the two of them, walking down the grass walkway like a god. I suck in a deep breath and step back a little, bumping into Logan.

He's a giant, at least 6'4", dark hair like night, skin bright and light tanned, his golden eyes like the sun scan the area like he's looking for something, his jaw clicks, jaw line sharp with a short dark stubble. He pulls his lips in a line and his dark eyebrows furrow. My heart skips a beat staring at him but I quickly close my mouth and recollect myself.

Everyone he passed bows there head, the warriors kneel on one knee and keep there head down "why arn't you over there with the warriors?" I ask Logan, turning my head up at him

"I asked my dad to stand by-" his eyes move from me back up to the pathway, my eyes follow, trying to figure out why he stopped.

My eyes meet our new Alphas, I gasp seeing him coming right up to me. I hold my breath and try to tear my eyes from him but I just can't. His large cheat falls up and down heavily, his eyes are deep and piercing through me, knocking the breath out of me.

Within seconds he's standing right in front of me, my eyes fall from his eyes and handsome face down to my eye level, which happens to be at his very muscular chest "Alpha I would like to offer you a tour of the pack to welcome you into-" my Father begins to say and I step away, allowing my Father to speak to him

"Name" his deep voice shakes my chest and I look down at my feet

"I'm Jonathan and this is my wife Clara-"

"Not your names" he says harshly, at that I look up and see him staring directly at me

He raises and eyebrow and my eyes widen, I swallow hard. Looking at him up close he's even more intimidating and handsome. His eyes....there's no comparison but pure liquid gold, his skin is flawless, his sharp features making any woman with eyes swoon. The stubble of his beard makes my hands itch to hold his jaw. His dark hair is lush and gleams in the sunlight, I notice now his scent is stronger than normal, like all alphas, but different...so intoxicating "Everly" I say quietly

"Full name" his tone flat, his voice intense, making me jump a little

"Everly Amaris Mason" I say in an even more hushed tone

I hear him whisper something with 'child and 'moon' but I couldn't make out the rest. He looks me over and I suddenly feel self conscious about my dull grey eyes and pale skin, maybe I should have curled my hair.

"Age" he demands, I look up at him, his face is completely blank

"17" I tell him, I feel Logan rub my back

Our alphas eyes move from me to Logan and his once emotionless face turns into a hint of anger. Before I can think much into it my Sister steps in front of me.

"I'm Victoria Mason, her Sister" she bats her eyelashes and smirks, her white teeth latching onto her lower lip, she pushes herself in front of me and onto his chest, leaning into him

He looks down at her, eyebrows pulled tight. He doesn't say anything as he takes a last glance at me and steps away from us, continuing down the path. I watch after him before I hear someone speak "sorry he's shy" the man he came with says with a joking smile at my Father "I'm Peter, his second in command and this is my mate, Lena"

She smiles at us and waves, my family and me bow our heads "we would love the tour, let the three of us just wash up" he says with a charming smiles

"Of course let me show you to your house" my Father offers just as James walks up and introduces himself

Before my Father dismisses the pack Peter and Lena thank us for the warm welcome. Me, my Sister, and my Mom all walk back to the house, the crowd dispersing to the regime as they all talk about the fearsome alpha that now runs our pack, me being in my own world.

Why did the Alpha do that? It was humiliating. Does he hate me now? Was it because I was talking to Logan when he walked up? I didn't mean to not show him respect, does he think I don't respect him? Should I apologise? All I know is I'll get in trouble for whatever just happened.

"What the hell was that?!" My Mother says loudly as we walk into the house

I snap out of my little world and turn to look at my fuming Mother, Victoria standing behind her with a crooked devilish smile "what?" I ask quietly slowly taking off my shoes and trying to secretly move up the stairs

"Don't 'what' me, how dare you humiliate your entire family" she shames me, standing tall and crossing her arms

"I'm sorry, I just asked Logan a question" I step up the first stair, hoping to get away before anything more is said

She runs her hand through her blonde shoulder length hair "Well next time in the presents of your alpha maybe you'll learn to hold your tongue" my Mom growls and I nod

"Yes ma'am" I say lowly, anger raising in my chest

"Leave, get out of my sight" she demands and I gladly turn and run up the stairs

I hear footsteps coming up behind me but I continue up into my room, away from these people I call family. I get into my doorway before I hear my sister speak.

"Congrats, not only will our new Alpha hate you for being the weak link but also for disrespecting him" she laughs with a smirk plastered on her lips "all I know is you better not mess this up for me" she says looking me up and down

I growl, completely fed up with all of them "At least I didn't throw myself at him like a slut" the anger filled words leave out of my mouth before I know what I'm saying. I bite my lip, wishing I could swallow my words.

She gasps "how dare you!" She hisses and with lightning speed strikes my face, from the intensity my teeth dig into my bottom lip with painful force.

I feel warm blood spill down my chin, my tongue slides across my lip and sure enough the taste of copper covers my tastebuds. From shock I reach up and touch my lip. Pulling back, crimson coats my finger tips. When I look up at her she too is surprised but it's quickly covered by a proud smile "learn your place" she spits and walks away, across the hall to her room. I stand there, rage, sadness, and pain filling my body, making it hard to breath evenly.

I hate her. If only I really knew if I was weak compared to other wolves, I feel stronger but no one will ever know me in that form...only my 'weak' human self. I slam my door and ball my fists, wiping my blood away with my arm.

I look down to see blood from my fingertips had gotten on my dress. I groan loudly, everything at this point coming close to driving me over the edge. I pull the sleeves off and and push the dress down my body, standing only in my bra and underwear, taking no time to look around me.

I sigh and place my hands on my hips, I need a shower to cool down. I turn around to grab my towel but my eyes land on something else. They land on my pulled open curtains, letting the sunshine in, but that's not why I gasp. Our new Alpha, my new neighbour, the most intimidating and feared werewolf who already hates me his first hour here is standing in his window, staring at me in my bra and underwear. His intensely dark eyes glare and his brow knits together, his nostrils flaring.

I gap and drop to the ground quicker than humanly possible. I hold my breath and curse to myself, how long was he freaking standing there?!

I wait a second, letting my heart rate calm before peaking up over my bed to see an empty window. I lay my head back down on the cold wood that coveres the floor of my room and wish I could lay here forever.

Fuck my life
