Chapter 2 The Mark
I woke up the next morning with my hand where my newly found mark was.
"why did it have to be real" I thought to myself
after a minute I got up and got ready for the day ahead, making sure to put on a scarf to hide the mark.
I went down stairs and as I got to the landing I noticed that everyone was surrounding the table "what are you guys doing?" I said as my sister, mother, and father all stared at something on the table.
"Oh nothing just standing around the table with our mouths open to catch flies" My sister replied in a sarcastic tone.
"Rach I think that baby brain of yours is a little to sarcastic even for yourself" I replied back as I hopped off the landing
"what are you guys even looking at" I asked walking over to them
"here look for yourself kiddo" my dad said handing me the letter
I read the letter in my mind and I couldn't help but be astonished "No way" I said leaving my mouth wide open
"The Alpha wants to meet our family tonight for dinner at his house" my mom said delighted "Rachel take your sister up stairs to find something nice to wear oh and due her make up and hair for me please dear".
"I wonder why he invited us to dinner?" my dad asked sitting down in his chair
I knew I couldn't keep it hidden forever but I thought at least a few days, I knew I had to tell them if I didn't he would.
"probably because of the mark he gave me" I replied pulling the scarf off my neck
"Y-Your partner for the season is the Alpha" my mother said with the skin tone of a ghost.
"yes" I replied looking down at the ground.
After a moment I heard a squeal I suddenly looked up and all I could see was my mother jumping for joy "Rachel make sure to make your sister look perfect"
"Rachel it's fine you don't..."
"I'll get my stuff and meet you in your room in 10" she said interrupting me, I sighed and after a minute I walked to my room
when I got to my room I felt my phone buzz in my pocket so I took it out to see who it was

I rolled my eyes and through my phone on the bed and my sister walked in
I turned around and all I could see was a beautiful golden dress that fell a little past the knees
"Rachel it's beautiful" I said completely stunned "I figured you'd like it, now sit down and we'll do your hair and makeup"
"is Brian coming" I asked as she finished putting her final touches on my makeup
"yeah he'll be here shortly" "you know..." as soon as she said that I new exactly what she was going to say.
"I know that you probably don't want to be the Alphas partner for the season" I looked down knowing what she was gonna say next "but maybe give him a chance" she said with a light smile.
It wasn't that I didn't like the Aiden I mean he was perfect, he had the perfect body, the perfect smile, and the most beautiful green eyes I was perfectly fine with him. at least untill he forcibly marks me I smiled and looked in the mirror to see my sister "alright I'll give him a chance" Rachel smiled back at me with the kindest eyes in the world.
"ok I'm done" she said gesturing me to get up
"Look in the mirror"
I got up to look in the mirror and I couldn't believe the person who looked back at me was.... me "wow" I said almost completely speechless "you look beautiful" my sister said walking out of the room "I have to go get ready don't mess up your hair or makeup."
finally it was time to leave everyone was ready. we got in the car and after about 15 minutes we got to Aiden's home it was. a huge mansion and we had just passed the security gate to go into it.
we stepped out of the car and all I could think was this better go well we walked up to the door and rang the bell the door opened I figured he would have had one of his maids open the door but to my surprise it was him Aiden Lockwood in the flesh.
