I wake up to a dark room, looking around I see my closed curtains hiding the morning sun. I'm still in my clothes from yesterday and my eyes are puffy from tears. I guess I got up from the wall at some point and laid across my bed. I sigh, turning over and bring my hands up to my pillow. My moon shaped birthmark catches my eye, for a wolf to have a moon shaped birthmark you would think I'd be a better werewolf.

I slowly stand and push my messy and knotted silver hair out of my face. Hesitantly I move to my large window and peak out, the bright sunlight making me blink rapidly. When my eyes adjust I peak across the yard into the alphas room, dark curtains are pulled and hiding the rest of his room from me.

I frown remembering everything from yesterday, the thought making my heart sink into my stomach. I throw the curtains open, the light flooding the room as I step away. I lean against the wall and sigh, trying to figure out how to go about this day.

My eyes widen in realisation, it doesn't matter how I go about this day, it's Logan birthday! I quickly step over to my bed and pick up my phone, immediately going to his contact.

*happy 18th birthday Logan! I know you said you didn't want to go out tonight but I don't care we are doing something for your eighteenth birthday! I love you and love that you've always stood up and been there for me. I'll see you in a couple of hours, no buts! :) *

I try not to think about what Scar said, and then back tracked on, about Logan being my mate. I love him, but as a friend, if he does end up being my mate...maybe I'll change.

I send the text and start to get up but my phone vibrates. I look down to see Scar calling.

"Hey" I bring the phone up to my ear

"Hey, how are you?" She asks and I sigh

"I'm alright" not "how are you?" I don't know what it is but she seems different

"I don't know..." She trials off "you know that weird feeling in your chest when you know somethings going to happen? That's what I've been feeling all morning and a little all this past week, I don't know if it's good or bad" she tells me honestly

"Hum..." I ponder on her words "well it'll be ok, how was ur grandmas yesterday?" I ask, changing the subject to hopefully get her mind off of whatever she's feeling

"Fine, it was really weird though, she told me about this profacy, you know how she is with her stories" she tells me and I nod remembering her stories when we were younger "anyways it was about some black female wolf-"

At her words I freeze, my heart leaps into my throat, causing my breath to become nonexistent "what" I gasp out

"Yeah it was totally crazy" she brushes it off

"What did it say?" I ask in a hurry needing to know if it's possible that it's about me or maybe there's someone else out there

"Just crazy bull shit, a femal black wolf isn't even possible" she laughs while I keep my straight face anyways

"Yeah...I guess so" my heart still pounding,

"Anyways, I was thinking about going to see Logan in an hour or so" she says and I'm a little surprised, they get along most of the time but they bicker, which is always entertaining

"Ok yeah sure, I'll meet you outside" I tell her and we hang up

My mind is preoccupied by Scarlets words about her grandmothers prophecy as I get ready. I have to know. Maybe I'll go see her tomorrow, or at least soon.

I look over myself in the mirror, silver hair shinny and bangs pulled back in a bun, the rest flowing down my chest. I decided on a white tee, loose ripped jeans, and a necklace aunt May gave me for my birthday. I sigh holding the moon shaped silver pendent, wishing she were still alive. I try not to come to tears so I quickly blink, saving my mascara lined eyes.

I scurry down the stairs, the house being more quiet than usual. I reach the last step and the doorbell rings. My eyebrows furry and I pick up my pace to the door.

"Oh hi Fay" I say with a smile as I open the door "how are you?" I ask inviting her in

She smiles and steps into the house "I'm good, real good, been busy" Fay tells me "it seems the flu is passing around the pack, but I needed to come by and tell you and your family some information" she informs us and my eyes widen and I nod

"Oh alright come on in, I'll get everyone" I lead her to the living room and she stays standing

I first walk across the hall to my parents room and knock lightly "Mom? Dad?" I ask opening there door

"Eve what do you want?" My Father waves off fixing his tie in the mirror

"Well-" I begin but my mom walks out in her robe from her bathroom

"Eve I hear about you riding with Peter why would you do that? he's already mated. No use in trying there" she frowns at me, she would rather Victoria mate with a high class wolf but she still wants me to mate well, mainly to keep her name high and for me to get out of here.

"I know Mother, he was just being nice" I don't feel like explaining the real reason why, it will only make her hate me more

"Well don't do it again, it sounds bad" she flips her blonde hair over her shoulder

"Yes ma'am, but Fay is here to talk to us" I tell them and they bother turn there gaze to me

"Why didn't you say that in the first place?" My Father asks, annoyed, walking towards me and pushing out the door to the living room

My Mother takes off her robe to reveal she's already dressed, she follows after my Father. When we come out to the living room Victoria is already there talking to Fay.

"Hello, how are both of you?" Fay asks my parents and they answer in unison

"Great"

"Good I'm Glad...I just had some information on-" she pauses and frowns "the fallen Alpha and Luna" she sighs

My parents stiffen and nod walking over to the couch and sitting. I stand against the wall, Victoria sitting on the side of the couch. Fay still standing, facing us.

"What is it?" My Father asks for my Mother, his arm wrapped around her, her head on his shoulder. Showing emotion for her Brother and Sister in law.

"I'm sorry I couldn't get this news to you before the funeral but as I said to Eve, I've been busy" she glances over at me "their autopsy showed that everything was fine, but I sent out the blood to a bigger werewolf hospital. I didn't have the tools I needed to test there blood here in my little hut. I think there blood will be able to tell us more. But the results won't be in till another month" she frowns "That's all I have for now, I hope I'll be able to tell you more soon" she says softly and tears prick at my eyes

My Mother bursts out in tears, this is only the second time I've seen her cry for them. Usually I would say she's acting but for her brother she wouldn't, she hides her sadness from us. I wonder if she would cry for me. My dad holds her and Victoria runs her hands through her hair and sighs.

"Thank you Fay, that's good to know" he says clutching to his mate, at least I know they love each other. For some reason seeing them love each other makes me feel a little better knowing I came from that, even if they probably wish I didn't.

"I'll walk you out" I tell her and smiles softly

I walk her to the door and she nods "I'm really sorry this happened to you and your family" she says and opens the door, cool air breezing through the opening "but the new alpha seems very kind, a little standoffish and quiet but loyal and strong, he'll be a good alpha" she says and I don't know how to respond

"Yes of course" I nod and she smiles and waves, closing the door behind her

I turn to my family to see them paying no attention to me, I don't think it would be wise of me to ask if I can go out. I turn to the door and walk out into the sweet fresh air, making my tight chest relax a little. I breath in the air as much as I can, feeling the warmth of day tingle my skin.

When I open my eyes I instantly feel the need to run back inside. I see Alpha Maddox talking to Fay, she smiles and nods at him as she speaks, his face is calm and a small polite smile tugs at his lips. I try to slip away when I see Fay wave goodbye to him, hoping I could walk over to Scars house unseen.

"Everly!" I hear a deep spine chilling voice call out my name and I fight to correct him...but the way his lips say my name...

I freeze standing in the grass and hope I disappear. But I turn to him praying he won't say something that will hurt me, I had enough yesterday.

"Where are you going?" He asks as he steps near me, his muscular body is covered in a tight black shirt and jeans that hug his long legs. He looks down on me and steps an inch closer, so close I feel his warm breath fan across my face. I look up into his gold eyes, not allowing myself to be intimidated, I'm tired of being scared of him.

"I'm going to see my friends" I tell him

His eyebrows crease in their usual way and I almost take a step back "who?" He asks

"Logan and Scar, it's Logan's 18th birthday" I say calmly

"Absolutely not" he growls and I jump at his words

"How dare you. I'm allowed to see my friends" I stand up taller, anger taking over my fear of him "don't worry Logan has no interest in me or producing any weak offspring for you pack" I hint at his message from yesterday and fight to roll my eyes

His eyes bulge with anger "Don't ever say that again!" He demands, his body now tense and his eyes darkening, his strong wolf showing through

Instinctively I feel the need to shutter and turn away but for a split second I feel equal to him "why? You practically said it yesterday, don't worry it won't happen with anyone in your pack" I tell him

"You're right, it won't" he tells me, taking me by surprise....so that really was what he meant

I turn away from him, not wanting him to see my eyes tear up. I shouldn't care about his opinion but I do, so much it scares me.

"Is that why you were crying last night?" His voice is much softer, the softest I've ever heard him speak

"Does it matter?" I ask my voice cracking at the end but all the same sounding angered

"Of course, I apologise, it was not my intention to make you cry...I'm not good at this and I don't think you understand" he says running a hand through his lush dark hair

"I think I understand just fine, my sister explained, I didn't need to hear it again" I turn from him

I feel him grab my arm lightly, I look at him surprised at his gingerness for such a strong and powerful man"Everly please, if you go with him I won't be able to contain myself" he frowns at me, his gold eyes pleading me not to move from his touch

My eyes widen and I feel like putty in his hands, my legs going slack from under me at his words. "I'm sorry" I whisper, entranced by him and emotion filled stare "I have to go" I tell him and hesitantly and reluctantly pull my arm from his warm, soothing grasp

His arm goes slack and he frowns, defeated at my words. I'm surprised at myself to not follow the rules the alpha had given me, usually wolfs must obey. I fight the urge to turn back and ask what he meant by his plea for me not to go, but I shake my head and turn to Scars house. From the events of yesterday and now just now I don't know what to think. What did he mean I didn't understand? Was there more? And why didn't he want me to leave him and go to Logan?

I'm snapped from my haze when Scar runs up to me "hi!" She says happily, supper giddy like

I smile trying to forget that my heart is racing from another encounter with the confusing wolf I call alpha "hi" I tell her

"You ready to go?" She asks me and I nod, unable to create a coherent sentence with my jumbled brain

I turn back as she pulls be along, I see Maddox walking back to his house. His hands running roughly through his hair and his shoulders tense. My mind and body pulling me to him, but Scar holds me tight as she drags me over to Logan's house across the pack.
