*Doris POV*
"Alpha Donald. We are newcomers here and we would like to settle in your pack" my mother Jane said as I watched her bow before a huge looking man. I bowed too. And then we both lifted our heads to look him in the face.
"What pack are you from and why are you here?" The huge looking man asked my mother. He looked like a man from a scary cartoon. His face had marks and he wore dark clothes.
"I come from the BloodPaw pack. I have been a member of that pack for as long as I was born. I lived there, amongst my people for so long. I even married from the pack. Everything was going well until my mate said he no longer wanted me. He wished to have another mate. He drove me away. Me and my child" she turned to point at me.
"So why did you come here?" The scary looking man asked as he widened his eyes and made movements as though he was getting up from his chair.
"Well, Alpha Donald. I am a woman and I can not bare the shame or jealousy that will accompany what my former mate did. I will be laughed at and mocked. The shame will be tkk much to bear. For me and my daughter and so, that is why I came here. To establish a new home, with new people as my new family. Please Accept me and my daughter. We have no place else to go"
My mother pleaded.
I saw Alpha Donald paused for a little bit and then started to speak. " Alright. We will give you a house here and a job. We hope you will not cause us trouble" he said as he cleared his throat. "We hope you and your child will not make us one day regret this decision of offering you our home" he concluded.
"No sir." She turned to me. " We promise" she nodded as she looked up to the Alpha. I nodded too and that was how we got to be members of the Silver Tail pack. The pack of the west. The one true people who are really family to me.

More than twelve years have gone by and now, I am almost turning eighteen and my life is perfect. I live on my own with my mom in a small apartment in town, and I'm feeling more independent than ever.
I've been working in a diner for the past year, and it's been a great experience. I love the people I work with, and the customers are always friendly. Plus, the tips are great.
I've got a great group of friends that I hang out with regularly. We like to go to the movies, or just hang out at one of our houses and talk. They're always there for me when I need them.
I also have a boyfriend. His name is Mike and he's a mechanic. He's always so patient and understanding. He fixes cars for a living and I love listening to him talk about his work.
Overall, I'm really happy with where I'm at right now. I'm content, and I'm looking forward to the future.
Two weeks from that day has passed and today, I woke up feeling a little different from other days. Today is my 18th birthday! I had been looking forward to this day for so long. I couldn't believe it was finally here!
I kissed my mom goodbye and went downstairs to eat breakfast. I was so excited that I barely touched my food. I just wanted to get to school and see what surprises my friends had in store for me.
When I arrived at school, I was shocked by all the decorations and the giant banner that said "happy birthday, Doris!" My friends had even bought me a cake and my favorite pair of sneakers. I was so touched by their thoughtfulness. I was even shocked to see my school bully, Prisxa hold out her hand and try to shake me. She told me 'happy birthday', I was both shocked and annoyed at the same time. Well, today must have been my lucky day for her not to try to give me a slap.
My boyfriend called to check up on me and to remind me to stop by later. He said he had a surprise for me. I was so excited to find out what it was!
I couldn't believe it was my 18th birthday. I had waited so long for this day and now it was finally here. Now I am an adult and ready to take on the world!
After school, I head down to my work place, Evans diner for work. It might be my birthday but that was not an excuse to miss work. Mr Evans would kill me.
I walk into the diner from the back door, get changed into my uniform and tie my apron round my waist. I pick up my notebook and pen and try to prepare my mind for the night. As I walk through the door, I was stunned to see Mr Evans and my other work buddies scream 'Happy birthday' to me. Mr Evans even had a banner on the wall for me. The customers were cheering and whistling as I covered my mouth, shocked from the surprise.
"Happy birthday Kiddo!. You are now a full and ready wolf. Go grab that gift I kept on my office desk" Mr Evans said as he flashes me a smile and passes me. I nodded and immediately turned to get the gift. As I open it, I see a new phone in there. It's the latest model of the phone I always wanted. I gasped.
"Mr Evans, how did you know? Thank you so much. Oh my goodness" I screamed as I started jumping and dancing. My colleagues joined me too. They smile and laughed. The customers cheered me on.
Mary steps forward with a cake.
"Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you." She starts singing. The crowd at the diner joins in. Everyone is singing for me. Mr Evans is clapping. I was literally smiling from ear to ear. Mary drops the cake and picks up a frame. She hands it to me, "Happy birthday to the most dedicated employee we know. May this new year bring you many blessings from the moon goddess herself." she smiled. Everyone chorused 'blessings' and I watched them put their hands together.
The celebration had happened and I watched as the silver pack members celebrated me with so much love and happiness. When everything was over, I thanked everyone at the diner and hurriedly rushed to see Mike, my boyfriend.
As I came down from my taxi with a piece of cake in my hand. Leftovers actually. I dusted myself and walked straight to his workshop. I saw Mike seating outside on one of the cars he had been working on for a while now.
"Hello Baby" I called out to him. He sighted me and ran to hug me. As he hugged me, Mike lifted me off the ground.
"My baby is all grown up. Look at you. You're now in the big leagues. You're 18 years old now. My big baby" he said as he planted kisses on my cheeks. I smiled, my cheeks were turning red at this point.
"Being eighteen comes with it's perks you know." I winked at him. He let me go as he asked, " what perks baby?"
"Having sex, saying the fuck word and being able to curse people" he laughed out loud as I finished my sentence. " Is that you've been waiting for?" I smiled ." Yes"
We got inside and Mike looked around to make sure nobody was on duty. He closed the front door and took us out back. I smiled as I realized what was going to happen. Usually, Mike and I would only kiss and touch as we made out in his workplace, but since I turned eighteen today, we would take it up a notch. He was going to do the grownup stuff with me.
"Doris, come sit over here." He called out to me as he lighted a candle. He had turned the bulbs so that no one would think anyone was still here. I rushed to sit there on the table he pointed to.
"Let me grab something. I'll be back" he said as he scurried away. I sat there watching his back disappear as I crossed my leg to wait for him. Everywhere was smelling of engine oil and guess and to be honest, this was not where I imagined my first sex to be, but oh well! As long as we are happy.
He came back with a box. He said I'd love it as he handed it over to me. I opened inside to see a new journal, pens, a teddy bear and another new sets of sneakers. Awwww. He really did know how to surprised me.
I said Aww out loud and then told him thank you. I pushed the box aside and asked him for a kiss. Mike kissed me and then proceeded to lick my neck. That was my weak point and he knew it. He kissed and touched and rubbed my weak spots and I sat there waiting for the next action.
We had been kissing for close to thirty minutes when I broke out to ask, "Mike, are we gonna kiss till midnight comes or are we going to fuck?" I was becoming frustrated.
"Wow" he shifted back surprised. "Baby. I did not know you were this eager to have sex. Do you..emm..you know..wanna take your time and go slow?"
I shook my head. "No. I want to taste what the grownup tastes." He laughed. He then came closer to me and picked me up in a tight embrace and turned me around before he set me down and said, "Tonight might be getting you overly excited. You might regret this in the morning and then hate me. What do you say we celebrate your birthday tonight and then have sex another time, when we are both sound in mind and ready for this?"
He was right. I was not a fucking pornstar or stripper and to be honest, I hated sex already, even before having it. So I guess it was wise to follow his words. I nod and then pick my bags to leave.
