The morning of my birthday arrived, and I woke to Brittany shaking me awake softly. She had a huge smile on her face as she waited for me to sit up and clear my head.
I groaned and pulled myself up from my bed. I rubbed at my eyes, before turning to Brittany.
“Happy birthday!” She said and hugged me tightly.
I smiled and patted her back, yawning as I pulled away from her.
“Well?” She asked me, anticipation in her eyes.
Confused, I turned to her.
“What?”
“It's your eighteenth birthday, you're supposed to find your mate today,” she said, and I finally realized why she was so excited about it.
I calmed down, got myself together, and sniffed the air. The scent that came from Brittany wasn't a very pleasant one, and that was the indication that she was not my mate.
I sigh
