Book1 Chapter5 " I'm Ariel , " She said , smiling . " Sapphire , " I said nervously pulling on my shirt . " We are gonna be best friends ! " She yelled as she pulled me into a hug , I smiled at the thought of having a friend . Chase interrupted our moment by reminding us of the plan , " Ariel , Sapphire , you guys are gonna go shopping for some clothes and take Stephen with you . Make sure you get a nicer outfit because Sapphire will be joining the pack tonight . " " It's a plan , Stan , " Ariel giggled before pulling me out of the room . " I'm pretty sure you should wear this tonight . " Ariel said , pulling a bright pink and sparkly dress off the rack . " Uh .. no . No pink . " I responded , shuddering . The color pink just reminded me off all the barbie girls at school . Ariel shot me a sad look before putting it away . So far on our shopping trip , I've learned a lot about Ariel , Stephen , and the pack . Ariel is my age , 16 , and I found out Chase took the Alpha title young at 17 after their parents passed away a few years ago , just from natural causes . Their parents had them quite old which is odd for a werewolf couple . Stephen is a bit older than us at 19. Him , Chase , and James were all raised together as children and Stephen was to become Third - in - command after Chase took the title but turned it down , not wanting the responsibility . He was also unmated . I was reminded that the White Claw pack was the largest in the states , however most members didn't live in the pack house other than those with titles and the unmated teenagers and early twenty - year - olds . There were in total around 400 members in the pack , way larger than Blood Moon's 200. This was because Chase and Ariel's mom was the Alpha of her pack and the dad was the Alpha of the White Claw pack , so when they mated , they simply combined the two . Book1 Chapters A Book Chapter6 We looked through a few more racks before giving up on this store . We walked out to see Stephen on his phone , not paying attention . Ariel decided to take advantage of this opportunity . " STEPHEN ! " She yelled , getting pretty much everyone in the mall's attention , and making Stephen chuck his phone and run to us . " Who's hurt , injured , dead ? " He said quickly . Ariel and I looked at each other and burst out laughing . Stephen just glared and walked away . We followed once we regained our composure . " Let's go to the food court . " I said , suddenly hungry . Ariel nodded and Stephen headed towards the food court . " Ariel , " Stephen groaned , " can we go yet ? My arms are killing me ! " He lifted his arms that had 5 shopping bags on each . Ariel just laughed , " We still have to find Saph a dress for the ceremony tonight , then we can . " I smiled at the nickname . " Yeah , come on Stefy , you don't want me to get presented naked , do you ? " I said , laughing . Stephen glared at me , " Don't call me ' Stefy ' , and no I do not . " he growled . Ariel and I started laughing again , " Okay , Stefy , this is the last store where we can get a dress , if we don't find one here ... I don't know what we'll do . " She finished and dragged me into yet another store . We walked into the store , I have no idea what the name was , it was something French . Ariel went to one side and I went to the other . On my side , I saw two amazing dresses , both strapless. One was a dark purple with a fake crystal band around the bust and other gems scattered around the bottom of the dress , which ended just above my knees . The other was a sky blue dress with a sun yellow ribbon tied into a bow off to the side , that was right under the bust , above the ribbon the dress had a lace pattern over the solid color of the dress . The bottom of the dress went down to the floor and it sparkled . " Ariel ! " I called in the near empty store , I grabbed the two dresses and walked across the store and looked for her waist length red hair , I found her gazing a pink dress . I tapped her shoulder . " Purple or Blue ? " " Go try them both on ! " She whisper - yelled and followed me over to the store clerk , to get a key to a dressing room . When I got into the room , I tried the blue dress on first . I stepped out and looked at Ariel . " No. " She deadpanned when she looked at the dress . I nodded and went back in to try on the purple on , when I zipped it up in the back , I knew it was the one . I stepped out and Ariel gasped . " This is the one ! " She squeaked . I quickly changed back into my shorts and tank top and we paid for the dress , after Ariel insisted she had the perfect shoes , Stephen was passed out on a bench right outside the store . " He must've been tired . " I said " I guess . " Ariel said , shaking him awake . Soon giving up and slapping his cheek . " What the hell !? " He yelled , abruptly standing up . Ariel shrugged and walked towards the doors . He looked at me and mouthed , " She's crazy . " I nodded and chased after her . I played , nervously , with the hem of my dress . Ariel had curled my long hair to perfection and one of her friends , Caitlyn , did my make - up . She put silver eye shadow on my eyelids , out lined by a light purple one to match the dress . She lined my eyes with white eye liner , applied mascara and added some clear lip gloss , after insisting I didn't need much . I sat in a chair in the front row , with Ariel right next to me . Most of the pack was here already , we were just waiting for Chase to get here Not everyone would be here so they also had a video camera set up . About five minutes later , Chase walked up to the microphone and motioned for me to join him . " As some of you know , there was a rogue on our land yesterday . We learned out this rogue was a girl who ran away from her abusive pack " He gestured to me , " Sapphire is 16 , her being so young , I decided not to punish her but let her join the pack . Anyone who has any objections , speak now ? " He finished . Book Chapters Webl 25.00 % He paused . Glancing around , no one spoke up , and he continued . " Sapphire Jacobs , " some of the pack gasped , likely recognizing my name , " do you accept the responsibilities as a pack member of the White Claw pack ? " " I do . " I said , he grabbed the knife and cut his palm , then handed it to me . I cut mine to . We shook hands and I felt the pressure of the mind - link connections being made in my head . I smiled and blocked them from my thoughts " Sapphire Jacobs , welcome to the White Claw pack . " He said and smiled . The pack cheered . Book Chapter7 TWO YEARS LATER * Sapphire's POV * " Everyone , we will be training in wolf form today . " I yelled , clapping once . Weite " So , go shift and give us 20 laps around the pack border , now ! " My training partner , Travis , yelled . Everyone groaned and stripped down to shift . It has been two years since I ran from the Blood Moon pack , meaning it has also been two years since I was rejected by my mate . In those two years , I've managed to become the fastest member of this pack pack , and the Third - in - command . Chase's previous Gamma had killed himself after his mate was killed by rogues right in front of him . He hadn't been able to choose a new one until me . " Hey , Saph , what's up ? You look upset . " Nothing , Trav , just thinking about how much my life has changed since I came here . " I said leaning into his side . He hugged me and ran over to where they were running . " You all better be running or your running 20 more laps in human form . " I heard him yell . " GIRLS ! YOU'RE ALL DEAD ! " I heard Alex yell , I also heard some pops that sounded like popcorn but I knew they were the pop - its from Chase's pen . " I SECOND THAT ! " Chase yelled , and I sprinted over to where Travis was . Shift and run out to our pond , I said to the girls . " Hey Travis , can you cover for me ? " I smiled innocently , knowing he heard Alex and Chase . I quickly added , " Say the girls and I went shopping . " I ran and shifted mid - air and kept running until I hit the pond . We found a small pond one day on a run and decided it would be a good idea to hide some clothes here for when we get caught pranking the boys . By the time I got there , Caitlyn , Ana , and Ariel were already dressed and waiting for me . I quickly shifted back and grabbed my clothes and got dressed . KANK If you haven't noticed by now , we like to pick on the boys . They just need to loosen up sometimes . Let's go shopping , girls !

We walked back to the house and opened the door to an angry Ari , you go calm down Alex . Caitlyn and Ana go find your mates to protect you , I'm going to find Steph . Like that's going to end sooooo well . Ari replied sarcastically Hey , it's bound to end better than the last time we pranked Chase , Caitlyn replied knowingly . We all choked back a laugh at the memory . Chase had taken away our credit cards , saying something about how we needed to spend more time training than shopping . We got mad and decided to prank him . We put green hair dye in his shampoo bottle , some nasty things in a bucket above his door , and glued the locks on his door .
