"Asena, I want you to lead a hunting patrol to the eastern part of the forest" Dad ordered. I nodded seriously "Who should I take?" I asked. "Whoever you want" His ice blue eyes were deep in concentration as he watched over the pack. It was afternoon, so the pack was pretty busy. The hunters were waiting near the entrance of the camp for my orders and the warriors were out of camp training. A few of the pack doctors and their apprentices were in the medicine hut sorting through their healing herbs. My brother Eric was out training, while my twin brother Jason was waiting with the rest of the hunters. "See you later" I mumbled to my Dad before I walked away. I spotted my best friend, Kylie in the medicine hut listening intently to one of the pack doctors. I waved quickly and she waved back before running off. Since I'm the Alpha's daughter, I'm training to be a warrior and a hunter. Being an Alpha's daughter is very rare, so I'm a pretty respected member of our pack. A lot of the male werewolves in my pack all wish that they were my Mates. Whoever I married or mated, would become the Alpha of the pack. If I was mated to an Alpha, we would be literally a power couple. Since we would both have Alpha blood, our children would be super powerful and so would our pack. My father hopes for me to be mated to another Alpha, while my brothers want me to be mated to someone in this pack so I wont leave. It's pretty adorable. I shook out of my thoughts as I approached Jason and his Mate, Lily and some other hunters. "Lets go" I ordered. Without a word, we all shifted into our wolves and sprinted out of camp. 'Where to Asena?' Jason mind-linked me. The best thing about being a werewolf, is being able to mind-link everyone in the pack. 'To the eastern part of the forest' I mind-linked them. They nodded and followed me towards the east. 'That's pretty close to the vampires territory' Jason said worriedly. I shrugged 'Father's orders.' Jason didn't respond as we kept running. Lily stopped short 'I smell deer' She reported. I nodded and started to smell the juicy smell of a female deer. I flicked my tail to follow me and I started to follow the smell. 'I don't like this. We're only a few miles away from the border' Jason muttered while glancing around. 'Don't worry, we'll be in and out' I promised him. I motioned them forward with my tail as I started closing in on the deer. Suddenly, a black wisp slammed into the deer and bit its neck viciously. Me and the rest of the hunters crouched down and growled. My eyes focused and I saw a girl vampire my age with blood dripping out of her mouth. "Oh was this your catch?" She asked with fake shock. "I'm so sorry" She gasped. 'Shift' I demanded the hunters. We all shifted simultaneously and the guys slipped on basketball shorts, while the girls pulled on large t-shirts that reached down mid-thigh. I stood up to face the girl and I immediately recognized the girl. I remember her dark hair, caramel streaks, and blazing blue eyes. "Nesrin Hollis, we meet again" I grumbled. Nesrin chuckled and flipped her hair to the side "Well if it isn't Asena Melantha" She grinned evilly. "Do you know each other?" Jason asked. I turned to look at him. "Of course, Father made sure that I met the future leader of the Vampires in hopes for an alliance" I said gruffly. Nesrin licked the blood off her lips "An alliance you say?" She asked "I thought you wanted to be friends" She pouted. I rolled my eyes "Cut the act. What are you doing here?" I asked firmly. Nesrin shrugged and straightened her leather jacket "What does it look like? I'm hunting"
Jason growled "On our land." Nesrin eyed him up and smirked "I didn't know I was so close to the border." Lily stepped forward "Bull crap" She snarled. Nesrin hissed "Back off dog." I snarled loudly, furiated that she'd talk to my pack members that way "Get out of our land Nesrin" I ordered. Nesrin's eyes narrowed and flickered red "Fine. But only because you asked nicely." Jason snorted with disbelief while the rest of my hunters clenched their fists in fury. Nesrin picked up the deer and threw it over her shoulder with no trouble. She saluted to me before prancing back to Vampire territory. "You never told me that you met the other supernatural heirs" Jason said with an edge to his voice. I sighed in frustration "When I turned 15 a few months ago, Father organized a meeting between all of the clans, packs, and tribes. I met Nesrin the future Vampire ruler, Amara the future leader of the Sirens, Gabriel the future leader of the demons, Lukas the future leader of the angels, and Jack the future leader of the Sorcerers." I explained. Jason gasped "You met Gabriel?! As in Gabriel the most murderous demon in america?!" I laughed darkly "Uh yes." Jason growled "Why would Dad let you be in the same 50 mile radius as someone like him?" I rolled my eyes "Chill out Jason. There were lots of guards there." I turned to the rest of the hunters "We should head south to hunt, since our last deer was taken" I grumbled in annoyance. They nodded and we shifted back into wolves before sprinting towards the south part of the forest. I dont get why Jason was freaking out, I actually loved meeting them. We all got along very well, and Gabriel seemed to take quite a liking to me. Nesrin, Amara and I became instant friends, though Nesrin seemed pretty hesitant. Amara was pretty nice though. Jack was constantly making jokes, while Lukas was non stop flirting with Nesrin. Gabriel didn't talk to anyone but me. Even I seemed to like him a lot. 'There's a flock of deer up ahead' Jason mind-linked me. Snapping out of my thoughts, I spotted a few deer grazing in a meadow up ahead. I shivered with delight when I saw them. They'd be able to feed us for about two weeks. Our pack was big, so we need to keep up our hunting. I gestured with my head for them to follow my lead as I stalked towards the deer. With a snarl, I launched myself at the first deer I saw and the rest of the hunters lunged at the other deer. I latched onto the deer's neck and killed it instantly. I motioned for them to follow me picked up the deer and started dragging it back to camp with the rest of my group following with their catches. 'Good hunting guys' I praised once we got back to camp. They bowed their heads slightly before shifting back and carried their catch to the food hut to get it prepared for dinner. I shifted and handed Lily the deer I was carrying. "Can you take this to the food hut? I have to speak with my Father" I said. Lily nodded and carried it away. I murmured my thanks and walked up to my father, who was assigning border patrols. "Derik, take Rose, Olivia, and Patrick to the northern border" Patrick bowed and walked off. Father turned to another warrior. "Sara, take Eric, Nathan, Julia, and Mark to the western border." Sara bowed and left camp with her patrol. Father turned to me and smiled "How was the hunt?" I smiled proudly "Good, we caught 4 deer" I reported. Father nodded with satisfaction. "But, we ran into Nesrin Hollis a few miles into our territory at the eastern border" I said. Fathers face turned dark "Why was she there?" He asked. "She didn't say, she just killed a deer we were stalking and taunted us before we told her to leave" I said with confusion. The vampires never really bother us, let alone the princess of the Vampires. "Well you're gonna see Nesrin again" Father said while running his hands through his brown hair. "What'd you mean?" I asked curiously. Father pulled a piece of paper out of his pocket. "The king of the Vampires sent this letter to all of the supernatural groups" He said while handing me the letter. I read it with wide eyes.
Alpha William, Beta Eric, Delta Jason, Princess Asena and the rest of the Dark Shadow Pack are invited to the Peace Ball at the abandoned palace near the human villages. The Peace Ball will occur in one week to celebrate the supernatural heirs coming of age.
Signed, King Jared.
I looked up at Father with a pained expression. "You're not making me go are you?" I whined. Father chuckled "It'll be a chance to-" I interrupted him "Forge an alliance I know" I grumbled. Father raised an eyebrow. "It won't be that bad, just wear a nice gown and smile" He said. I stumbled back "A gown?!" I exclaimed "Seriously?" Father rolled his eyes "Eric and Jason have to wear a tuxedo, so get over it." I threw my head back and laughed "Now I can't wait." Father chuckled "I better tell Eric and Jason." I laughed again "Good luck."

"There's gonna be a ball?" Kylie squealed with delight "I can't wait!" I groaned in response. Kylie was always a hopeless romantic and has always dreamed of going to balls and meeting her prince charming there. "Kill me now" I grumbled. Kylie laughed and gave me a friendly nudge. "It won't be that bad, we can even meet people from the other groups" Kylie said. I sighed and leaned back in my bed. Kylie suddenly gasped "We get to wear GOWNS!" She squealed. I laughed at her outburst as she jumped up and down with excitement. Me, Kyle and two other werewolves our age shared the same hut and they're all bustling about the upcoming ball. "We're going shopping for gowns tomorrow" Kylie announced. They all chorused in delighted squeals and I groaned. Kylie sighed with happiness and shut off the light. "Good night" She mumbled. We all said our good nights back and we soon drifted off to sleep.1- Werewolves
