CHARLOTTE'S POV
"I can't wait to find my mate. I really hope he's not someone in my pack though. All the higher ranking guys are kind of assholes" I say grimacing as I talk excitedly with my friend group at our lunch table.
"You have nothing to worry about. I bet you anything your mates going to be an Alpha. It's uncommon for a future pack leader to Mate with anyone lower then a Gamma." My friend Valeria says chiming in before taking a big bite of her cheeseburger.
"Yes I know, but still the only future Beta and Gamma in our pack are Lucian- a misogynistic asshole who is gunning for the spot as Alpha with hopes of being my mate- and the girl I absolutely despise, Violet Reyes."
"It'll probably be Talon. Wouldn't that be amazing? Our packs finally joining together would increase our spot ranking! Plus Talon is sexy. What I would do to that boy." Aster says dreamily as she lays her round cheeks in the palm of her hand causing her dyed red hair to fall onto the navy table while her brown eyes stare at the Alpha across the room who sits next to Violet at their own lunch table. Aster is my only close friend who belongs to my pack so of course she gets excited about upping our packs rank. If us and the Jasper Pack form into one that leaves room for the Willow pack to climb up and take the ninth spot. It would benefit all packs that are ranked three and below due to the fact everyone would move up one spot and the 11th spot pack- the Vipers- would finally be able to secure tenth place after they went through training on becoming part of the council.
"He is a hottie, but the issue with that is if I had him as a mate then little lost Violet will be around twenty four seven interfering in our lives. That's not something I want to deal with." I grumble out as I gaze at the pair.
"Not necessarily. Mates want only their mates so what ever puppy crush he has on her would quickly disappear once he laid his eyes on you. He would quickly forget all about her and you and him would live happily ever after no Violet in the picture. Plus she has her own mate I'm sure she'll find hers probably the same day you find yours seeing you both share a birthday. Maybe you'll get lucky and her mate will be from a pack that's halfway across the world and you'll never have to deal with her again." Danielle says a smile perching her glossed lips as my body fills with hope.
"Dani you are an absolute genius this is why I love you! I keep stressing about Violet being around for ever, but why should I? If she is found to have no mate in our pack she will be made to travel to every pack until she finds them! Our birthday is only weeks away and she'll be gone for good. Thank you ladies for being good friends and helping me stay sane throughout the year while having to deal with little miss "I think I'm perfect.""
"It's no problem Lettie. You know we always have your back!"
"This is going to be the best birthday ever. Graduation is just right around the corner and after that it's time for me to meet my mate and take my rightful place as Luna of this pack. Even if Violet is still around because her mate is in our pack then I could just simply send her away to another pack."
"Thats the spirit!" Chimes in Val right before the bell rings singling for us to get to combat class.
"I'll see you ladies later, I now have to deal with that annoying bitch for the next hour and a half. I hope the teacher finally pairs us up so I can whoop her ass without getting shit for it." I grumble out before parting from my friends making my way out the school doors and across the field to get to the gymnasium where we hold combat class.
I'm surprisingly the first to arrive to the girls locker room where I swiftly change into my white crop top, short black bike shorts, and white Filas. Being a werewolf has its advantages like a school without a dress code seeing we are all use to being naked around each other anyways. As long as your breast and private area is covered they could care less about what you wear around school or to train in.
Soon after I change the room starts to fill up with girls. I try to make my way through the crowded locker room only to bump in to the person I hate most in this world, Violet. She's been a nuisance since the day she was born.
"Watch where you are going, bitch." I sneer out at her while wrinkling my nose up at her PINK sweatpants and her matching sports bra. Unlike me her boobs are small probably about a B cup, yet she's always had a huge ass that she constantly tends to cover up with pants that don't hug her curves. If I was her and best friends with the hot Alpha I would at least try and look decent around him.
I notice that instead of responding to my comment she bites her plump pink bottom lip and narrows her round brown eyes at me before letting out a light huff breezing by me. I guess she knows better then to try me. Hmph she's not so tough for a Warriors daughter.
I make my way outside and decide to stand next to a girl who is short for our kind, the average height for us female wolves are around 5'7, she seems to be standing at only 5'2 making me five inches taller then her tiny stature. Not only is her height short but she seems petite all together reminding me more of a fae then a wolf. Fae tend to have younger appearances to go with their child like mischief where most wolves stop aging around thirty and you can still tell they aren't pre teens or children by the time they are seventeen. With fae it's the opposite, you could be talking to a thirty year old Fae and be clueless on their age due to their youthfulness. Fae swear there's a way to tell age among their kind by their eyes claiming their eyes are similar to trees, the more gold rings around their iris the higher their age, but knowing the trouble makers those Fae are I don't know why anyone would even want to mingle with them. Sure they cannot lie, but they are manipulative tricksters.
I notice this tiny girl looks oddly like the Luna of the Willow pack with her distinct Asian features that look exactly like the Lunas, the same slim button nose with flared nostrils, the same Goldilocks lip shape, same double lid eyes, and same heart shaped face. Even the placement of each feature is identical to Willows Luna, so I'm guessing this must be her daughter. I've never noticed her in this class before, but we do have fifty students in here and they usually break us off by groups of ten 5 boys and 5 girls in each group, so it's not like I've had the chance to know everyone since we hardly free for all and usually stick to the same groups.
"Ok class today we are going to do things a little different. We will be practicing battle, but we will be doing so by ranking you off with the person who are the same skill levels as you. Usually we like to put you guys with a mixture of skill levels so everyone is pushed to try harder and to keep above the rest, but today we want to see how far you have come. We have the list of who will be sparring with who. As always nothing that can leave permanent damage is allowed.
Ben you will be with Alana. Tim you and Peter will be paired..." I zone out as he calls everyone names together until he finally reaches mine.
"Charlotte you are paired with Violet."
A smile creeps up my face as I move to stand by Violet ready to wipe this bitch out.
