Fated to my Frenemy.

Their wolves are as bad as they are.

I woke up and roll over to look at the clock. It was 6am and the Sun had only just begun to rise. I still felt glad it was the weekend though, No pups to tutor today.

I did however Have to meet up with Ryder today. This whole birthday thing was becoming a drag. I don't know why I was hating on it so much this year. Maybe it was because we turned 18 we would find our mates.

I have never been close to anyone in the pack , And None of the pack members seem to really want to get that close. I always had Ryder pretty much glued to my side. Honestly if I am honest with myself as much as I hated the fact he literally was my best friend, well my only friend really.

My mother pretty much made sure of that. Ryder on the other hand had a lot more freedom then I did. I mean sure I socialised , But never had the opportunity to get close enough to anyone to consider them a friend.

Alpha Mark had always told me I was a great asset to the pack, So he always had me teaching a lot from general knowledge to battle strategies and tactics. this all come about when I thought I was holding the pack back because I was too weak and slow to help the pack under an attack. Boy, was I wrong. Turns out we have the most effective defence and attack in all the packs around us. Alpha Mark holds me considerably amongst the pack ranks which I find appreciative.

As I sit up in bed and put my slippers on I suddenly hear a rustling coming from my window. I get up and investigate the noise.

As I get closer to the window I almost burst out into a loud laughter as I see Ryder ensnared in the thorny shrub that grew right in front of my window.

I open up the window, and pop my head out and smile at him in amusement. "Are you in a bit of a prickly situation?".

"Clara, This isn't funny, Can you help me please ", Ryder says desperately as his clothing gets more and more entwined the more he tries to escape the bushes defence system.

"You know there is a reason why my mum planted that shrub right there, you know right", I say as I struggle to not burst out in a fit of laughter.

"Seriously Clara, Stop joking around I need your help", He blurts out now completely stuck.

I let out giggle, "Before I come and help you, What on earth where you doing at my window anyway Ryder?".

"Well I came to ask you if I could come for a run with you this morning, I really need to talk to you about something away from everyone", He confesses as he stood there with a look of distress on his face

"Why didn't you just wait out the front porch and ask me there When I come out for my run?", I Question amused by his predicament.

"I don't know?, I obviously didn't think of that did I !", He responds with a hint of frustration.

"Clearly", I utter humorously, "Wait up I will be there in a second". I grab my dressing gown and throw it on as I hear Ryder grumble, "Yeah Well, I ain't going anywhere".

"He is such moron", I hear my My wolf shimmer say with a huff. "Don't worry Shimmer I totally agree!", I reply back to her with a giggle.

"Hey stop bagging me out to your wolf", I hear Ryder yell out from the window. I walk up to him and pop my head out.

"Actually all I did was agree with her so stick that in your pipe and smoke it", I reply back sarcastically.

"Well that doesn't make it any better, What she say anyway?", He questioned curiously as he started to look rather uncomfortable.

"Same thing she always says", I blurt out humorously as I fail to keep the smile from my lips.

"If that man had a brain he would be dangerous", Shimmer utters in annoyance and I burst out into laughter.

"Let me guess she is at it again", Ryder says with annoyance in his tone. "Well you wanna know what Midnight thinks of Shimmer?".

"What?", I ask curious as to what Ryder's smart ass wolf have to say.

"He thinks the only thing she has going for her is her astonishing good looks, because everything else about her sucks donkeys ass". He says as I suddenly feel my wolf leap around with Joy.

"I'm pretty sure all she heard was astonishing good looks, She is leaping around like a lunatic right now", I explain feeling rather humoured.

"Yeah and I am pretty sure midnight is feeling a little defeated I sense him sulking in a corner somewhere", Ryder says with a attempt of a shrug.

"I think midnight is just Jealous he is just a plain black wolf and shimmer is a beautiful white with silver reflective flecks through her coat", I utter as I validate my Thoughts on the subject.

"Probably, Anyway what ever the reason I don't care what they think, I want to get out of this bush please", Ryder Grumbles.

"Hang on", Be right there". I tie up my dressing gown and head to the back door as I grab a pair of pruners from off the hook from off the back wall .

I walk out the back door and outside and around to my bedroom window.

"Thankgod, finally", Ryder says relieved as I come into his view.
