“It does not dad, I’ve worn these to school before and you never had a problem.” I stated.
“I–I, its just that–umm.” He stammered in reply causing me and mom to burst out laughing.
“Exactly daddy, now stop being a grump and come eat.” I ordered parting the seat next to me. He pouted but followed my order and took a seat next to me. Mom brought us our plates of food and I scarfed mine down hungrily.
“You would think it was her first meal in months the way she just ate that.” My mom laughed as I put my plate in the sink. I stuck my tongue out at her and went to reply when I was cut off by the sound of a car horn.
“That’s Lela, gotta go.” I said as I kissed both of my parents on the cheek.
“Have a nice day, I love you.” My mom yelled followed by my dad,
“Be safe, I love you!”
“I love you to!” I yelled back as I closed the door behind me. I looked out at the curve and saw that Lela and Seth were in Seth’s car waiting for me. I jogged towards the car and pulled the door open hopping in.
“Hey cuz, happy birthday!” Seth yelled as I got in the car. I was soon after attacked by Lela in a bone crushing hug.
“Happy birthday Pais! You look stunning your mate is going to be drooling.” She joked. I rolled my eyes at my crazy best friend and hugged her back.
“Thanks Le, and I doubt he will drool.” I said firmly. She rolled her eyes at me and gave me the ‘are you kidding me‘ look. I turned away from her and looked out the window. I was really nervous to get to school because I have a really good chance at finding him since our school is so big. A few years ago my dad and Reed decided that they were going to build a new high school in between the two territory’s, a school for all werewolf’s so now members from both packs go to the same school.
I was snapped put of my thoughts when I felt a hand on my shoulder, looking over I realized it was Lela.
“We’re here.” She stated happily. I nodded my head and climbed out of the car. I was immediately surrounded by people and I was getting so many. ‘happy birthday!‘, ‘hope you have a good day!‘, ‘good morning birthday girl‘ and so on that I didn’t know what to do with them. I smiled politely at everyone and pushed my way towards the front door with Seth and Lela right behind me but right before I entered the school I smelt the most amazing smell, the best I’ve ever smelt.
‘Mate!‘ My wolf was yelling in my head. I smiled and breathed in deeply turning around to search the parking lot for him. My eyes racked over the many people in the crowd who were all looking at me strangely when I saw him. Our eyes connected and my wolf was going crazy inside of me. I tried to look away but his chocolate brown eyes were so captivating, he was perfect in every way possible. I thought to myself as I started into the eyes of my mate, as I stared into the eyes of Xander Jackson.
*Xander’s POV*
“Bro come on we’re gonna be late for school!” I heard Cole yell from down stairs. I sighed and walked out of my bedroom closing the door behind me. I jogged down the stairs and joined Cole by the door.
“Why does it even matter if we’re late?” I asked annoyed. Cole smirked and walked out the door towards the car.
“It’s Celestes birthday today and I want to see her cuz I know she’ll look good.” He stated. I rolled my eyes at him and tried to hide the anger that I felt when he said that. I may not show it but I still care about Celeste and I miss being friends with her. I had considere ving to fix our relationship but then decided it was no use because she hates my guts.
I hopped into the drivers side of my car and Cole/got in the other. I peeled out of the drive way and headed towards school. The five minute ride to school was spent in silence and when we got there I noticed that there was a big crowd of people gathered around Seth’s car, I’m guessing Celestes in there. I rolled my eyes at the stupid people and pulled into my usual parking space.
I got out of the car and Cole and I walked over to our group of friends.
“Hey baby.” One of the blonde bimbos that hang out with us said as she attached herself to my arm. I smiled down at the girl and she batted her eyelashes trying to look cute.

“Damn!” I heard Cole say from next to me and I looked up to notice that ever unmated guy in the parking lot had there eyes fixed on one girl, Celeste. My eyes racked up and down her body and man did she look hot. She was wearing a pair of short but modest black shorts with a white shirt that falls

off of her shoulder showing off just enough skin. Her dark hair was curled perfectly and she looked like and angel. All in all she looked mouthwatering
I watched as she suddenly stopped and started taking deep breathes threw her nose. I furrowed my eye brows and started smelling the air to see what she smelt and when I did I smelt the most amazing smell in the world. It was like a tnixture of lavender and roses.
‘Mate! Mate! Mate! My wolf howled in my head. I took another deep breath threw my nose and started looking around the parking lot for her. I knew the moment my eyes locked with hers that we were mates. As I stared into her beautiful baby blue eyes I couldn’t help but want to go over there and kiss her with all my might, I had finally found my mate, Celeste Hawke.
*Celestes POV✶
As soon as my eyes locked with Xander’s I heard every wolf in the parking lot let out a loud gasp and they put there hands to there hearts. That was there wolfs and because we’re both future alphas they all felt it. As I stared at Xander the only thing I felt was complete and utter love. Nothing else matter at the moment, nothing. I mesmerized by his warm chocolate brown eyes that is until I felt a hand on my shoulder.
