Today is Alexandria's birthday. She's turning twenty one years old. It's been exactly four years and one month since her entire family and pack was killed.
Alexandria's pov
"Wake up big sis..." Anabelle said in a sing song voice. I didn't want to get up, my birthday was a constant reminder of that day. "How about you guys just let me sleep the day away." I said pulling the covers over my head. "No get up, we are going shopping for our dresses for the party Alpha Zachary invited us to tomorrow evening. Then we're going to lunch." Victoria adds in. "Then we will come home get ready and go out to that new club Wolves Den." Anabelle states matter of factly. "So I have no choice with any of this do I?" I ask my annoying sweet sisters. They nod in unison at me so I admit defeat and get up. It takes me an hour to shower and change. I go downstairs to see the girls ready to go. I smile at them and grab the keys. "To the mall!" Victoria yells getting in the car.
We arrive at the mall for our shopping expedition. I love the mall. All the clothes and accessories. It's great. While I'd rather wear something we made I'm not above wearing something bought. At our first store we bought some accessories. I love jewelry but I don't wear it often. I don't really go out. I'd rather stay in and cuddle with something of Bjorn's that I kept to remember him by. It all still smelled of him and it helped me calm my wolf just to smell him. So the second store we each found an evening gown to wear to this party/ ball thing at the Moon Springs pack house. I guess they have a ballroom in their huge house. I heard it's like a mansion. On to the next store. The third store was for shoes. I got a lilac purple long form fitting dress with a slit up to the thigh. It had spaghetti straps so I'd have to wear a strapless bra with it. I chose lilac purple stiletto heels that had diamond encrusted cuffs around the ankles. The last store we went into was Victoria Secrets. The girls wanted to get some sexy attire. I really had no need to be in here but I followed the girls in. I mean my mate died no one was ever going to see me naked much less take my virginity so why should I waist money on such things. I bought a light purple strapless bra from there that was it. I had a thong at home that would match the bra so, that's all I needed.
After we were done the girls needed a bathroom break and my phone was ringing so I told them I'd wait outside for them. I didn't recognize the number but answered anyway. "Hello" I said into my phone. "Hi, is this Alexandria of the Moon Springs pack?" The deep voice said for the other end. "Yes this is she" I replied wondering what was going on. "This is Zachary of the Twin Creek pack. I just wanted to make sure that you and your sisters were going to be there tomorrow at the ball." Zachary said in a dreamy voice. What the heck is wrong with me? He is not my mate why is his voice making me think in such a way. "Yes Alpha we will be there sir." I tell him trying to remain respectful. "Good glad to hear it. I have something I'd like to discuss with you and your sisters if that's alright" He adds. "Sure thing sir." Is all I could say back. " See you girls tomorrow then." He tells me bringing the call to an end. "Yes sir see you tomorrow." I tell him. "Bye" we both say in unison and hang up.
"So who was that Lex?" Victoria asks walking up next to me. "That was just Alpha Zachary making sure we are coming tomorrow." I say with a shrug. "Oh, well then lets go get some food so we can go home and get ready for tonight." Anabelle says getting in the car. We head to a steakhouse for lunch. We are young healthy wolves so, we love our meats. The three of us order steaks cooked mid well with a side salad. We sat and enjoyed our lunch. The girls were talking about all the boy wolves that would be at the party tomorrow night so I just kind of blocked them out. By all means I wanted them to find their mates and be happy. Since mine was taken from me and we only get one it was a little upsetting to hear about it from others. I wouldn't rain on their parade, I just tried to stay out of conversations like that. I had already excepted the fact that I would probably die old and alone. After all my sisters would have to leave me to go life with their mates.
"So are you ready to go" Anabelle asked with a look of pity for me on her face. I hated people feeling sorry for me. Life is what it is for me and I can't do anything about it. I tried my best to not think about it but it was hard with the sad looks. "Yeah lets get out of here." I respond. I pay the bill and we head out. when we finally get home after a few more stops. We get our stuff to our rooms and its about five pm. We all want to shower first so we go get to that first. I usually take ten minute showers unless I was having a bad day and then I would sit on the shower floor and ball my eyes out missing my mate like no ones business. Today was definitely one of the bad days. How could the goddess give me a mate just to take him from me.
