Her Alpha Mate

Mia's POV "Mia. Are you even listening?" My mom asked me. "No ma. And you know why" I shrugged while grabbing my backpack. I also grabbed a granola bar, shoving it into my bag. "Bye ma" I said, kissing her cheek on my way out. "Bye. But please come home soon. You know that it's Alpha's title day today and he finds his mate there. I hope you find yours too" she said and I sighed ignoring her. By the time I reached the school the halls were not so busy with less students. This is my last year of school and it's my birthday today. Werewolves find their mates on their 18th birthday and my mom is excited about it since it's my 18th birthday. But I don't want a mate.Okay maybe I want. Whatever! And hey, birthdays aren't big occasions for us. It's just another routine day. I went to my locker and took a look at my schedule. It's Chemistry in the very first hour. And that made me groan. Yes, I hate chemistry. Like c'mon who bothers calling water as H2O when water is way easier than that. I pulled out my books and made my way to my class. "Mia" I heard a familiar voice. "Tal!" I squealed looking at my best friend. "I missed you" he mumbled. "Too bad, I didn't miss you" I said, making him chuckle. "Is your ankle ok now?" I asked him concerned and he nodded. "Resting for a couple of weeks is so boring" he whined and I giggled. Tal is my best friend. And he is a human. This school has both werewolves and humans. But humans don't know about us. Werewolves consider crime talking to humans and I least care about it. Tal Fishman is someone I've known since kindergarten and he does care about me a lot.No way in hell am I going to lose a friend like this dork. Tal Fishman has green eyes and light brown hair. Comparatively a bit longer neck that makes him look both hot and a giraffe. I often find girls gawking at him. Sometimes he would wink at them and they turn into giant sized tomatoes. "Is Ashley coming?" Tal asked me and I shrugged. Ashley is my other best friend who is also a werewolf. Her 18th birthday was last year and she didn't find her mate. She got a bit depressed because of that. Tal and I had to take her out, spoil her with chocolates to make her smile again. Because Chocolates can cure a girl more than a man! "Missed me?" We heard a voice behind us and turned around to find a smirking Ashely. I can sense that she has a hope in her eyes and that's because of the Alpha title party. She may find her mate there. Ashley is so energetic despite her small frame. She has blonde hair and blue eyes. She's someone who spreads a happy virus to everyone around her, unlike me! I'm just your usual boring nerd you would find at the back seats who's trying their best not to cope up with people around. Yeah! I'm in that hella boring category. "We gotta rush if we don't want to get late," Ashley said. "I'm leaving for my boring History class" "Well I have chemistry" I groaned. "Ash, wait!!. Even I have History" Tal said, kissing me on the cheek before running behind her. I walked towards my class and saw Jaxon flirting with a girl. Veronica she is. The girl Jaxon is dating. And looking at them, I felt a pang of jealousy. You might have understood why. Yes! I, Mia Anderson, have a huge crush on Jaxon Malloy ever since I was ten. But to him, well I don't even know if he noticed my existence. He is the future Alpha of our pack. Sometimes he talks to his best friend about s*x right before me as if I'm invisible. I mean, I don't talk doesn't mean I can't hear!!! I sit in the last row in a corner and open my books. The bell rang and students hurried to sit in their places. Soon the lecture started and I found myself doodling on pages. "Miss. Anderson, Can you repeat the topic that I explained a few moments ago" Mr.Peter, our lecturer asked. I mentally cursed myself and stood up. "I don't know," I whispered and looked Jaxon through the corner of my eye. He was amused that I gave Mr.Peter a back answer. Mr.Peter is known for his strict rules and tough educational techniques. The main reason why we don't get along well! "Detention!" Mr.Peter gritted through his teeth and I gladly made my way out of my class. Yay! I don't have to deal with the hustle today. I sat in our school library not wanting to go to the detention class and write those stupid impositions. Writing it repeatedly doesn't make anyone stop doing what they want. It wouldn’t even make any difference. I chose a random romance novel and started reading. Halfway through the book, I heard the bell ring and made my way towards my next class which is English. I'm shocked to see Jaxon in the same class again and this time flirting with a different girl. I rolled my eyes and took a seat in the front row. English is my favorite subject and the teacher Mr.Alfredo is my favourite. After what seemed like a few minutes the bell rang and I went to the cafeteria. I spotted my friends in our usual spot and sat beside Tal. We started talking about how our classes went on while digging into our food. I am an all time food girl. Give me food and I give you my time.! Pretty easy right! Damn you Mia, I'm proud of myself. The rest of the day went by blur. I'm now at Ashley's place getting ready for the party. I wore a pink dress which is flowy and runs up to my ankles. I paired them with white heels and put my hair up in a messy bun. Ashley wore a black dress that reached till her knees and she paired them with black heels. She did her hair into a French braid and she looked sexy. We soon reached the pack house. Our Pack, The Blood Moon pack is one of the biggest packs in the world and our Alpha Mr.Titus Malloy was a ruthless one. He was kind to us but was fierce to other packs and especially rogues. I stood there admiring the beauty of Alpha's house and his incredibly beautiful garden. Suddenly, an intoxicating scent hit me. It smelled like the ocean and pine. And my wolf Lacy jumped in excitement. She gets too jumpy especially when it's of no use. "Mate," she screamed. Wait what??
