Chapter 1

Savannah

'HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRLLL,,,,' I could recognize that voice anywhere. My longtime bestfriend Ara who is the craziest person on earth right now by the way. 'My birthday is tomorrow dummy' I retorted cause she has been shouting this since morning. 'I know,,, but it is kind of fun seeing you annoyed. I swear to the Moon Goddess I will kill her one day.

'But anyways what have you planned for tomorrow? and don't you dare tell me there is no party cause I will divorce you as my best friend right now!!!' She said with a stern face and for a moment I was a bit scared but what can I do? I'm not a party girl and I hate being around people. 'You can organize a party if you want to I won't be attending though.' I would give up anything just to see the look on her face again.

'You are having a party and that is final!!! I am not letting this slide this time cause you will be turning 18 tomorrow meaning you be able to find your mate so a party has to be there whether you like it or not.'

'Okay fine!! you win.' YEAH!!' she made this little dance she does when she is excited. 'But,,,,, You are paying for the costs,,,' 'Okay, no problem.' she said dragging me out of the school hall towards the parking lot.

Students at Lighthouse school must be very rich... I mean there were a number of expensive cars at the parking area. It was like a sort of cars exhibition. And did I mention, most students here are werewolves. This school is the nearest to our pack land,, the Moonlight pack. The Moonlight pack is known to be among the most powerful packs. The neighboring pack, the Crescent pack, is not necessarily our enemies but we don't see eye to eye on many things. We have some things in common though, like for example, both packs are ruled by powerful Alphas who are almost retiring and their sons who will succeed them are rumored to be so arrogant, I wonder how they will be able to run the packs. People say they can be ruthless sometimes and they are also very handsome.

I have never met our Alpha's son because my parents refused to stay at the pack house even though my father is the Gamma, the third in command. Ara's dad, Beta Raymond is the Beta who is second in command after Alpha Greyson. Alpha Greyson's son stays mostly in Geneva because he wanted to study abroad but he is currently around since summer is around the corner.

'Aren't you going to get in?' I heard Ara asking.. 'Oh,,, sorry I must have zoned out.' 'Are you thinking about your mate again? I told you not to worry, I know he will be so handsome and he will shower you with endless love.' I sighed and said nothing just hearing her talk about how she imagined my mate for the rest of the ride home. I swear I felt my ears hurting at some point. But why am I so worried though, my mother told me that mates are people destined to protect and love you for the rest of your life. But I've also heard of how others were rejected by their mates and they ended up dead cause finding a mate is like finding a soulmate and we can never live without them. I just pray that my mate will be satisfied with me. I am so anxious for tomorrow.

'Savannah?! Savannah!!!' 'Ara....' I groaned ' dude,, I told you to stop shouting on me.' 'Then you should stop zoning out.' she remarked 'Whatever,,, I'm going in and going to bed I am so exhausted. I'll see you tomorrow morning, goodbye.' I said quickly getting out of the car not letting her say anything. Of course our parents are besties so they decided to build their mansions in the same compound.

Only the servants were home so I went straight to my room. My parents and brother are always busy since they are the Gammas. They are mostly not around but they always make sure to set time for family bonding. I am so happy I am not inheriting any high rank because I would not have managed the pressure. I flopped on my bed at stared at the ceiling thinking of what fate has in store for me the next day. Slowly I drifted to sleep imagining how my life will be after tomorrow.
