Chapter 1 “ Isabel”

"Isabel's POV"

Today I turn 19. It may not be special to you, but as an Alpha female it is. On our 19th year is when we start to seek our mate. My name is Isabella Williams, my friends and family call me Bella. I live in a small town in Virginia, Auria Falls. My pack house is known as Rosewood Manor. My parents are both still living. My Dad is the CEO of a Law firm and my mom is the CEO and owner of a design company. Enough of that, I will tell you more about them later.

I finished high school when I was 16. Some people say I am very smart, but to me I am just average. I have all the perks of being a wolf. I am tall, beautiful, smart, and can move really fast. I had made a decision when I graduated I would wait for my friends to graduate. Just to say that my parents were not happy is to say the least, but they did decide to support my decision. I had every college knocking on my door offering me scholarships to their establishment, and they still are. I was so yong at the time I had graduated from school that my parents decided that I could wait a few years. Now they are pushing me to go. My dad wants me to go to a Law School and my mom wants me to follow her and go to a Design School. I want to choose for myself. Not that I don't like the idea of following in my parents' footsteps. Some days they just drive me so crazy. I want to pull my hair out. If it wasn't for my friends Audrea and Andrew, I might just had gone bald in high school.

Audrea and Andrew Jones have lived in the pack house forever. We were all born on the same day, same year, at the same time. We have been friends for as long as I can remember. Their parents work in the pack house. Their mom is the best cook and their dad is my dad's best friend and beta.  Every holiday their mom cooks up a storm and the house smells so good. I tell her all the time that the smell of the food is enough to make me gain weight. Andrew, Audrea and I  have helped each other through a lot of bad decisions and relationships. Aundrea is my shoulder to lean on, she knows all my secrets. Andrew is my protector, he will defend me no matter how much trouble he may get into. I love them both so much. 

The pack house is a quaint two story lodge house with several wings branching off the main part of the house. I think they were added later. It stands on 80 acres of land outside of town near the Shenandoah River and National Park. I love to visit Hazel Falls and swim in the pool of clear blue water at its base.  Everyone that lives in the Rosewood Manor has a job to do to help keep up the land surrounding us. If it was not for Omegas and other Alphas in the pack I do not think we would be able to keep this place looking like new. 

So about my parents. My father is Danniel Williams. He went to school to be a Lawyer and is now the CEO of his own Law Firm, "Williams and Associates". My mom Lizabeth is the owner and CEO of a Design Company, "Bethy Designs and More." My dad wants me to go to a Law or Business school so I could join him at his firm. My mom wants me to go to a design school so I can join her or even start my own one day. My mom's business not only design and make clothing but they do interior design also. To say that I want what they want me to do is a possibility but I want to venture out and try to earn my own way in this life. My parents think money is the only way to find happiness and I always tell them that it is not but they always insist on buying everything I could ever want. I have the latest computers and phones. I drive a top of the line Jeep. I could have a fancier car, but I wanted a Jeep so that is what they bought me. My parents have always been there when I needed them but they can stick their nose in my business a lot. I do love them even if I think they are crazy. 

As for me, I took a job working as a survey taker at the local mall and no it is not a big indoor mall. It is just a little strip mall. My parents did not want me working but I want to earn my own money, I still depend on them for some things but I try to be independent. All the shop owners love me and I really like my job. They always ask how I am doing and why I don't find another job more suited to me and my family. An indoor job would be nice but this little town does not offer much in the way of jobs. It is not like I really need the job, my family owns most of the town anyway. I want to try to earn my own money to go to college, they are not cheap,  and to not depend on my parents so much.
