"Andie" I heard my mom yell from down stairs. Glancing at the clock on the wall, I see that I still have ten more minutes before we need to leave.

I rolled my eyes at the sound of the irritation in her voice 'geez! she's always in a rush.' I grumbled to myself.

"Coming mom" I yelled, grabbing my phone off the dresser and shoving it inside my jacket pocket .

I gave a half turn to check myself in the full length mirror that sets in the corner of my bed room before heading down stairs. I knew I was in trouble when I seen my whole family already gathered beside the front door. I hurried on down hoping my mom wouldn't notice me. My chances were good at this point she was busy going over her usual travel check list with everyone.

However my hopes were smashed like a bug on the windshield of a speeding car when she glanced over her shoulder sending me the death glare " Why can't you ever be ready on time. " mom complained,with both hands on her hips..

" All right, already " I mumble under my breath, glancing up to see my dad grinning as he always does whenever mom gets her fur ruffled up at one of us kids.

" Okay let's head out." Dad yelled , waving at me to follow the rest of the crew out the front door .

Out in the driveway two midnight blue Lincoln Navigators were setting in front of the pack house with there motors running. We all piled in and took a short drive out to the airstrip.

All of twelve of us will be boarding two helicopters piloted by my dad and his second in command Beta Tyler. I'm really hoping mom will let me ride in the helicopter with Beta Tyler because his daughter Jaylee is my best friend .

Hopefully I can trade seats with his son Brent, he's my brothers best friend and future Beta. However I'm not going to get my hopes up. If it was up to my dad I could just hop in wherever I wanted. However my mom's kinda crabby about stuff like that. Unless dad says I can do whatever it is I want. Which he usually does, if I beg and plead my case and throw myself at his mercy.

My dad is amazing, the coolest dad ever. He's the Alpha of the second largest pack in North America. The Silver Moon Pack ,located in Northern California. He's big and strong and has an over powering Alpha aura that makes most men tremble in his presence. He leads over five thousand werewolves in a modern world, while also running a Fortune 500 hundred pharmaceutical company. On top of all that ,he does a great job of concealing our existence from humans. However at home he submits to my tiny mother.

My mom is a firy tempered, five foot three inch redhead with emerald green eyes. My sister looks just like my mother except she's taller. My brother and I look like my father with midnight black hair and blue eyes.

At home mom keeps all of us in line and on time for all the events we need to attend as an Alpha family.

She always try's to coordinate our clothes to make us look presentable in public. We all have custom made jewelry we wear for special occasions with our pack crest on it.

Today we will be flying towards our destination in Alaska.It's a very long trip but we will be stopping along the way to visit with two other Alpha families.

My dad calls it networking but my mom calls it bullshiting. Ether way I'm sure I will have fun because I get to see some of the kids I met at summer camp this year.

As for Young Alpha Zachary's official Alpha ceremony the main reason for our trip. It a big deal, every Alpha, Beta,and Gamma family in North America will be there, to make connections with the new Alpha of the Starlight Pack ,the largest pack in North America.

The gossip on all the Werewolf websites say Alpha Zachary will make history for becoming the youngest werewolf every to take the Alpha position at the young age of eighteen years old.

Word is his dad and mom want to retire and travel abroad before they get too old. Which I think sounds ludicrous, giving the fact that the life span of an average werewolf is about two hundred years with pure blooded Alpha's living well over there hundred.

Then again, I'm just comparing his parents, which I have never met to mine. My mom and dad are vigorous and full of life and both of them are in their late sixties . However they both have pure Alpha bloodlines that keeps them looking and feeling youthful . If someone would compare my mom and dad's looks to a human they would think my mom and dad are in their late forties.

My brother probably won't become Alpha until he's in his late twenties . At that time he will be expected to settle down and start a family of his own with his Luna. Hopefully by that time he will find his soulmate.The one person made just for him,the perfect Luna for the Silver Moon Pack.

At least that is what everyone in the pack is hoping for. It's an old custom among werewolves that the Alpha and Luna should be true soulmates. Chosen for each other by the moon goddess herself .

Therefore Alpha males usually never get married until they find their true soulmate even if it takes years for them to meet each other. My mom and dad are true soulmates, they met each other about ten years after my dad took over as Alpha of our pack.

All werewolves believe it makes the pack stronger because of the unconditional love between soulmates.

Werewolves believe if the Alpha and Luna are happy at home they can concentrate on pack business. Instead of fighting and arguing at home over things like cheating spouses and such.

I know this kind of thing sounds a bit crazy but it's just the nature of werewolves especially Alpha males. They are lecherous erotic beings covered with muscles and full of testosterone driven by an ancient spirit that lives inside of them that makes them restless.

One glance at my brother and teenage shewolves throw themselves at his feet. Most of them hoping to be his true soulmate so that they can hold the coveted title of our next Luna.

I really don't see why they bother with all that now. Because everyone knows he won't be able to recognize his true soulmate until his eighteenth birthday.

However that never seems to stave off the never ending line of girls vying for his attention.

At just sixteen years old my brother already engages in sexual acts with different girls almost every night, right here in the pack house or anywhere else he can get a girl out of her panties.

My mom complains but dad doesn't seem to be bothered by my brothers lewd behavior.

Dad just buys my brother more condoms and tells mom it's normal for teenage Alphs to act like that.

However I bet my dad would have a cow if me or my sister acted like my brother.

Upon arriving at the airstrip I didn't waste a second before I started begging. "Mom can I ride in the helicopter with Beta Tyler please"

" No, but I will ask if Jaylee can ride with us." My dad was quick to answer my question knowing exactly what I had in mind.

At least now I won't be boarded out of my mind on the five hour flight to Seattle where we will be staying overnight at the Hillcrest Pack.

I'm excited now that I can help Jaylee decide what she is going to wear tonight for dinner to gain young Alpha Owen's attention she has had a crush on him every since they met at summer camp.

The only problem is he's sixteen and like my brother he's an Alpha male with all that testosterone and muscle. I'm not sure if Jaylee is ready to loose her virginity at fourteen just to hang out a few hours with his horny ass.

Jaylee and I talked the whole way to Seattle planning exactly what she will wear tonight. How she plans to fix her hair and wear makeup to make her look older.

Jaylee has long wavy brown hair and dark brown eyes, unlike me she has a curvy figure for a fourteen year old. So just perhaps Young Alpha Owen will be smitten with her too.

Well I guess we will see in just a few minutes now that the helicopter has landed. I glance out the window and nudge Jaylee to get her attention " Look who's here to greet us" I whispered as my dad came around to open the door to help my mother out of the helicopter.

"Oh good gosh, just look how hot he is" Jaylee squealed , making me giggle at her overly excited reaction to the tall lean young Alpha with curly blonde hair and dark sunglasses standing beside his father.

After my dad helped my mom out of the helicopter the rest of us piled out behind her. My dad and brother sauntered over to where the other Alpha father and son du-o stood.

A dark red Yukon Denali suv was parked behind them with another identical one parked right behind it. Symbolism classic Alpha style every Alpha takes pride in respecting his pack.

Every pack has their own colors and It's not hard to guess what those colors are when you see the vehicles the Alpha family drives.

Alpha Thomas stuck out his hand for my dad, they shared a friendly hand shake. Exchanged a few pleasantries and after my dad murmured a few words that I couldn't hear.

Dad waved us over towards the vehicles.

After my dad introduced everyone our bags were loaded into the back we all piled into the SUV and headed to the Hillcrest pack house.

Upon arriving three guys around twenty years old came out to get our bags and showed us to our rooms. Both of them going Gaga over my sister and Hanna. But hey, who can blame them. Both Abby and Hanna are the ultimate eye candy.

Abby my sister is always impeccably dressed with her makeup and dark red hair

done to perfection and so is Hanna.

I ask my sister one day why she spends so much time making herself look so perfect all the time. Her simple reply was now that she is eighteen she's hoping to find her soulmate, and wants to look her best whenever that happens. So I guess Hanna is hoping for the same thing.

Which isn't so unusual for werewolves, I believe they are all hoping to find their soulmate at least all the girls over eighteen are.

We walked up stairs to the second floor and luck must have been with me. Because of the lack of guest rooms Jaylee and I get to shared a room with a jack and Jill bathroom between our room and the one my sister and Hanna will be sharing.

The pack house is slightly different from ours, but still a great place to spend time with the new friends I made at summer camp.

After settling into our room Jaylee and I went in serch for Emma she's Owen's sister who is also fourteen.Emma is a tall blonde headed girl that shares the same features of her brother.

Spotting Owen in the hallway Jaylee and I hurried towards him."Hey, where's Emma" I called out to get his attention.

He stopped in his tracks,spinning around towards us flashing an all white toothy smile.

The same type of smile my brother uses when talking to all those girls who flock around him. I almost face palmed, what's with these young Alpha males? Is this something they learn in those future Alpha classes that all young Alpha's take?

" She's out by the pool" he answered politely " This way ladies" he offered to show us the way ever so gentlemanly like.

I trailed behind as to let Jaylee walk beside Owen and oh boy ,did she flirt. She grabbed Owen by the arm and leaned into him all smiles and chatty like he was her long lost lover.

I didn't listen to their conversation but I could tell things were actually going good for Jaylee. She kept smiling and rubbing his bicep with an occasional giggle at something he said.

By the time we reached the back yard Jaylee and Owen left my side and headed over to the bar area by themselves . I met Emma beside the pool with a big hug.

" Oh, you're here " she squealed bouncing up and down excitedly . After she stopped jumping she glanced over at Jaylee and Owen, asking me the obvious. "What's up with those two?"

" Jaylee has the hots for your brother " I whispered with a giggle.

" Oh, I see what does she expect for her efforts a long distance lover." She giggled and rolled her eyes in their direction.

" I'm not sure" I frowned, because I hadn't really thought about Jaylee becoming anyone's lover. Brushing that unpleasant thought away for now.

Emma and I went to sit on lounge chairs beside the pool to catch up about school and her love life.

We're werewolves after all,even at fourteen we attended social gatherings and hang out with other teens around bond fires and the like. So while catching up with Emma we both ignored Jaylee and Owen.

We sat far enough enough away so we didn't need to listen to their flirting. I had a lot of fun chatting with Emma.She told me all about their pack, her school, and about the places she hangs out with her friends.

And in turn I told her about our pack, school,and what the kids do for fun at our pack. It seems our lives weren't much different the only difference was that Emma had already started dating and was currently seeing a guy named Parker who is seventeen.

He's the son of her father's Beta and will become her brothers Beta after her brother takes over the pack.
