THE REBELLIOUS MATE

I slowly descend down the stairs, watching as all eyes turn to focus on me. Why can't they just focus their kinds elsewhere?. I ask myself. Of course they can't, how would they?. It's my day today and every body is supposed to notice me. I'm celebrating my sweet sixteen today and like every other girl, I'm kinda thrilled at the same time. I gently stroll down the stairs in my beautifully adorned pink gown. The gown was so pretty and eye-catching, courtesy of my two supposed sisters, Katrina and Liliana. I know we are not from the same parents but they have always treated like one. I look and I spot them by the stairs, wearing the same colour of outfit. They look pretty much alike except that Katrina is wearing a huge grin on her face while Liliana isn't. She is the merriest amongst the two. They are two years older than me which means they are eighteen now. "Happy birthday" she whispers as she holds my hand. "Thanks" I reply nervously. I feel like running back to my room right now but I don't want to disappoint aunt K, I mean aunt Katrina but she prefers we call her that name. She said that it makes her look more youthful. She is the one who organized this whole party and it would be a shame if it goes to waste. "Happy birthday" Liliana says, holding my other hand and helping me get down the rest of the steps. They release my hand and follow behind me to where all the rest of the guests are. Well, they are just my family, some few friends because I don't have many and some of the pack members. "Happy birthday" Ian says. "Oh wow thank you, you look handsome today" I comment. "That's because I won't to have the first dance with my princess today" he answers. This little boy, he is such a flirt. "Come on, you know you are not going to be her first dance, someone else is" Kat chimes in. "Is it true Belle?" he asks pouting his eyes at me. One would not believe that I am just a year older than him. "You will be my first gentleman" I say, patting his shoulder. I walk away from him and head over to my parents. "Happy my lovely princess" aunt K shouts and pulls me into a hug. "You look lovely dear, just like how my princess should be" she whispers in my ear. "I hope you've seen my gift?" she asks. Instead of answering her, I just lift my hand and show her the beautiful bracelet in my hand. It's made of pure gold. "Aww, it looks cute on you" she cries. Like she is literally tearing up now. "I can't believe that my little girl is finally sixteen now, it's like she was born just yesterday, right Harry?" my mom says. My father just nods his head and pulls me to him. "You look gorgeous my princess" my father says. "Thanks Dad" I say. "Could you believe that in two years time, she will finally meet her mate and our little baby will all be grown up" my mom says again. Thank goodness all my friends are out of ear shot or else I would be embarrassed to death. My father just smiles at her. "Here, this is for you" he says. He places a huge box on my hand. "Open it, it's from me and your mom" he says. I slowly unwrap and boom, I huge box comes into view. I slowly open it and see a stack of books laying in there. "Thank you, thank you so much, I love you so much" I squeal. "You are welcome" he says. They are all my favourite books and some more. Yes, I am a book maniac. I survive on reading books. "I've also added a very special book in there, courtesy of aunt Serena" my mom says. "What book is it, let me have a look" my father says but before he collects the box, my mom snatched it and rush off. He follows her and then they are gone. That's my parents for you, always fighting like cat and dog but they love each other immensely "Happy birthday dear" the Alpha, uncle Adrien says. "Thank you uncle and where is my gift?" I ask. "Don't worry, I didn't forgot this year" he smiles. He kinda forgot to get me a gift last year, so don't hold me responsible for asking him this time. He places a small box on top of my hand. "Here, open up" he says. I quickly unwrap the box and a bunch of key comes to view. "It's your car keys" he says. "Really?" I ask. He nods. I hug him tightly. "Thank you very much" I say. "Anything for you am I washed from my previous mistake then?" he asks. I nod at him, still fiddling the keys in my hand. The key to my own car. "Now go hard, go and enjoy your party with your peers, we don't what to bore you out now" he says. I walk away, still excited about my present. I walk back to my friends and show them the key and they too are all excited. "Can't wait to start driving" they says. Me too, I'm so excited. "Happy birthday Isabella" Benson, my classmate says. He is also my crush, well kind of. He is my best male friend. I really do adore his frizzly brown hair and his ocean blue eyes. I used to hope that open day he would be my mate, well, it's just my dream. We are both the same age but he is a months older than me. Everybody is present at my party to wish me a happy birthday, well, except for him. He has been my my side all my life till well, about four years ago. Ever since he finished high school and went off to college, he became a totally different all together. He used to be a friendly person to me but now he doesn't even want to look me I the eyes, even if I try to take to him, he just walks off. I even doubt that he still have my phone number. Whatever, I know he is in this house and I won't let him leave without giving me my gift. "Where is bro?" I ask Ian. "Donno, maybe somewhere, hiding, as usual" he answers. So everybody has noticed. I try to push him off my mind. I have a party to enjoy and all my friends are here to celebrate it with me. As promised, my first dance was with Ian and we both enjoyed it, so much. I am now dancing with Benson and busy blushing. Like thunder, I feel a surge of electricity burst through my body. It keeps on tingling my body and scratching through my soul. At first, I thought it was just me but my wolf keeps on complaining as well. I was only fourteen when my wolf surfaced which was pretty unusual. All my age mates are starting to shift now. I was very worried at the time but my mom said that it was unusual but not impossible and that I'm a special child. Well, it's just my mom's talk but this sensation is taking me off the roof. "Excuse me" I say. I wall out of the room, trying to get some fresh air. But even the air outside is still pricking me. It feels like something is pulling me but I don't know exactly where. I keep on trying to shun it but the more I try, the more it grows. Lastly, I decide to follow it and see where it takes me. I keep on rounding corners after corners. Well, till I finally hit something and just like that, the tingling increase a thousand fold. "Sorry" I litter as I try to get back immediately. "Mine" my wolf chimes in. No, no, no. This is not possible. I'm just sixteen and I wasn't supposed to find my mate till when I was eighteen. "You" he says in shock. No, heck no, that's is not happening. Why does it have to be him of all people, why him?. Abraham can not be my mate, he is like a brother to me and I can't have my brother be my mate. Moon goddess, why do you have to be so unfair?.
