Frustrating. I had so much paper work to do and I was also helping Reed with a few things, he’s freaking out because Xander
hasn’t found his mate yet and he needs to take over the pack.” He finished with a sigh. Reed is the current alpha of the blood moon pack and also Xander’s dad.
“When was he due to take over the pack?” I asked. I had been told this many times but I always seem to forget.
“When he turned seventeen and that was two months ago.” He said calmly. I nodded my head and thought about it, I feel sorry for the girl who gets him as a mate. The rest of dinner was spent making small talk and eating the delicious food my mom had cooked.
“So Celeste are you excited for tomorrow?” My mom asked as I set my plate in the sink. I squealed in happiness and heard my dad grumble from his place at the counter. He’s not very excited about tomorrow because he doesn’t want me to find my mate and grow up so he says. I rolled my eyes at my dad and turned my eyes back to my mom.
“I’m so excited! I can finally find my mate!” I said happily. My dad scoffed from across the counter and I turned towards him.
“Whatever.” He mumbled under his breath and scowled. I frowned and walked around the counter so I was at his side.
“Why are you so upset about me finding my mate Daddy?” I asked as I put my hand on his shoulder. He looked up at me and sighed.
“I just don’t want you to get hurt baby girl. He could end up to be some jerk who’s going to break your heart and I don’t want that to happen to you.” He said softly. I felt a small smile come to my face because of how much my dad cares
“He won’t be daddy and if he is then I’m a big girl and I can handle it.” I said strongly. My dad huffed and looked down at his hands.
“That’s not the only thing your dads worried about.” My mom said as she joined us. I gave her a confused look and she chuckled when my dad scowled down at his hands.
“He doesn’t want to loose his baby girl.” Mom continued as she wrapped her arms around dads waist. My eyes fell to my dads face and I could tell that what my mom said was true because he was glaring harshly at the counter.
“Daddy I’ll always be your little girl no matter what, you’ll always be the most important man in my life.” I stated as I wrapped my arms around him to. He smiled down at me and pulled my mom to the front of him so we were all in a big group hug.
“Thank you baby girl, that’s all I needed to hear.” He said as he kissed my forehead. I smiled happily at my parents as I pulled away from them.
“I’m going to go to bed guys. I love you.” I said as I turned towards the door.
“Love you to sweetheart.” I heard them say as I exited the room. I walked up the stairs to my bedroom and shut the door when I got in. I walked towards my bathroom and started to strip out of my clothes. I stepped into my shower and turned the water on hot. After about fifteen minutes I was done in the shower so I got out and wrapped a towel around myself.
I sighed as I pulled my tank top over my head followed by my shorts. I then climbed into my bed and fell asleep thinking about what tomorrow was to bring.
“Celeste wake up.” I heard somebody whisper in my ear followed by them shaking my shoulder. I groaned and opened my eyes. My mom was standing over me with a happy smile on her face.
“Happy birthday!” She said happily as she stared down at me. I felt excitement rush into me when she said that. Ijod out of bed almost causing my mom to fall over.
“I’ll be down in a minute, just let me get ready.” said as I rushed towards my bathroom. Sadly today’s Friday so I have to go to school. Once I was in the bathroom I pulled out my curling wand and plugged it in. While it was warming up I pulled my make up out and started applying it to myself. I put on a light line of eyeliner on my bottom lid and a swipe of mascara that made my baby blue eyes pop.
I then moved onto my hair and started to put it in pretty,loose curls that tumbled down my back and reached my waist. I then took my bangs and did a cute side swoop with them. I admired my self in the mirror for a moment, I mean I’m not trying to brag but I look good. My dark brown, almost black hair was curled to perfection and fell in long curls down to my waist. My tanned skin didn’t have a blemish on it and my baby blue eyes really popped.
I walked out of my bathroom and towards my closet. After about five minutes of debating I finally decided that I was going to wear a pair of dark shorts and an off the shoulder white shirt that had a perfect black heart in the middle with a black tank top underneath it. I slipped on my black flats, grabbed my back pack and was out the door.
Chapter 15
When I entered the kitchen the first thing I noticed was that my mom and had were standing next to the stove whispering lowly to each other Now being a werewolf enhances your hearing but I couldn’t even hear what they were saying. I cleared my throat and there heads snapped up to me. As soon as my dad saw me his eyes widened and he clenched his jaw.
“Go change.” He ordered me. I frowned and looked down at my shorts, there not even that short they cover everything.
“Now calm down honey, I think she looks just fine.” My mom said as she put a hand on my dads chest. He visibly relaxed but you could still tell that he
was upset.
“It shows to much skin.” He whined. My mom rolled her eyes and I huffed taking a seat at the counter.
