1 Chapter 1 1 Chapter 1 Dear Lily I have to admit your last email got me mad as hell . They have no right treating you like they do and the fact that your brother isn't sticking up for you is really sick . I'm sorry I know you've told me a million times not to talk about your pack and your brother but I can't help it . You're too nice Lily and don't believe a word they say you're beautiful , don't protest you've sent me pictures remember ? Look my offer still stands , the whole pack agrees you should come from what I've told them about you . And they don't mind you living with us and becoming one of us . Just leave that stupid place with the stupid people that don't care and come here , no one will treat you badly I won't allow it . Future Alpha remember ? ; ) Sincerely , your pen pal Xavier . I looked at the email wondering what to write back . I first started emailing Xavier two years ago and we've 20:11 - 16 1 Chapter 1 been best friends ever since . We know everything about each other , and I love him to death . Recently he's been telling me to run away and live with him and his pack but I just couldn't do that . They may all be mean to me but I couldn't help but think that maybe they cared, plus I couldn't just abandon them , thats wrong . I shut my laptop and decided to answer him later . It was about and I had half an hour to get dressed and go to school . I put some baggy clothes and tied my blonde hair in a ponytail . I looked in the mirror and sighed . As good as it gets , I thought to myself . I didn't consider myself pretty , not at all . I had blond hair and blue eyes , which would look great on most girls but on me just weird , and I was sort of fat . Not like obese but fat nonetheless . " Come on Lily we need to go , " my brother Keith yelled obviously irritated from behind my door . " Why so early ? " I yelled back " Did you forget Ethan turns sixteen today ? He'll find 20:12 2/6 1 Chapter 1 his mate , so he wants to go early and see all the girls . " My heart did a flip at the mention of Ethan . Ethan was my crush for so long and the future alpha of the pack ; he'd be the official alpha at seventeen . Every wolf finds his mate at sixteen . He just looks at her and his wolf tells him that she's his mate , as for her she has to actually touch him to know . If she feels like an electric shock went through her when she frst touches a peron , then she knows he's her mate . I was fifteen , a year younger than Ethan and Keith but because I was smart I was in the same level as them and had the same classes . " I'll be right there ," I checked myself in the mirror once more before I got out and followed my brother to his car , I couldn't help but wonder who would be Ethan's mate . I knew she had to be pretty and couldn't help feeling a bit jealous knowing she'd have him . Ethan and I used to be friends before we ended up in highschool and he turned mean . But it was the memory of him being nice to me that made me like him , Ethan used to always cheer me up whenever I was sad . 20:12 3/6 1 Chapter 1 " Why do you take so long , it's not like you're going to get pretty anytime soon , " my brother said driving to school . I just ignored him and stared out the window . It was normal for my brother to insult me , he became mean as soon as he reached highschool too . To be popular you couldn't be nice with the fat nerd of the pack . " We're here ," he parked the car right next to Ethan's car and I saw Ethan leaning on the hood of his car watching the parking lo , t looking for his mate eagerly . " Have you found her , man ? " my brother asked coming up behind him . " No but I swear I can smell her scent , it's amazing ," he said not even turning around . I stood there awkwardly thinking about leaving ; I still had time before my first class so that meant I could hang out at the library . " I'm just going to head inside , " I said making Keith and Ethan turn around . When Ethan looked at me his eyes grew wide and he stared at me for a moment before flashing me the disgusted look I was so used to . I just ignored him and walked to the school , all the while feeling his eyes on my back . 20:12 4/6 < 1 Chapter 1 The rest of the day went by as normal , I got constant remarks about my weight and how ugly I am from everyone including my pack members . Yeah that's right , even my pack members hate me and wish I was never in their pack . They think I'm weak and chubby but it's not my fault they never paid me enough attention to help me train the way they do with everyone else . It wasn't until I was heading to my brother's car that I saw all the guys from the pack crowded around Ethan's car , hence making it impossible to get to Keith's car . I started pushing past some people but when my shoulder brushed someone else's I felt an electric shock course through my body . I gasped and looked to see who it was and my eyes widened when I saw it was Ethan . " Oh my god , " I said and he looked at me like he wanted to kill me , " You're my mate . " I was sure everyone heard me because suddenly everyone stopped talking and looked at me and Ethan . " What are you talking about ? " Ethan snapped at me . I was confused , how couldn't he know I was his mate ? 20:12
