Life After the Storm novel Chapter 1

As I hear my alarm going off, I'm super excited today is my 18th birthday oh and my twin brother's birthday. I hop out of my bed and run over to my brother's room just to be a pain in his ass. I jump on his bed until he wakes up. As he puts his covers over his head, I start singing to him.

“Happy birthday to you happy birthday to you today is the day we finally can meet are mates come on get up.”

“Get out of my room before I kill you.”

“Really, that isn't nice to say, especially when you would be lost without me.”

“Maybe not I wouldn't have someone jumping on my bed waking me up.”

My parents then walked into my brother's room with a cake singing to us, I couldn't help but to laugh when my parents brought the cake in to his bedroom.

“Aww, thank you guys so much you are so sweet we are so lucky to have you as our parents.”

“My mom looks at me ok what do you want Lilly?”

“Can we skip school today and go to Wicked Falls.”?

My mom laughs “absolutely not now get ready for school I am going to start your breakfast.”

“Come on mommy don't make me beg please.”

“No, you guys can go to school. We will head up after you two get home your dad will be home too since he is getting off work early.”

“Fine, I guess that will be fine.”

“Get out of my room. So, I can get ready god you people are annoying in the morning.”

I jump off my brother's bed and give him a big kiss on the cheek. I ran into my room to get dressed for today. I want to look my very best just in case I actually meet my mate at school. I can't believe it today is finally the day. My brother has always had a crush on Jenny from school. It would be shocking if she would be his mate even though we do not get along at all but I would be so happy for him since he had a crush on her for like ever. We will become officially a part of the Night Walker Pack this month. They hold monthly meetings for the higher ranks, but if there are wolves that turn of age, they will be announced and welcomed into the pack. My family, we are low ranked, so we don't have to attend every meeting, thank God. There are not that many packs in Alaska; we live in a little town called Bear Run. I couldn't ever imagine leaving. I love it here. It is the most beautiful place I have ever seen, always snow covered and not too cold , just the right weather every day. It's most beautiful at night with the Northern Stars. It's like you would imagine heaven to be like.

I get into the shower to freshen up. Wanting to look my very best today. I laugh to myself as I try to fix my hair. I am not really the fashion type of girl. So, I called my mom to help make some curls in my hair to make me look a little more presentable today.

“Mom,” I yell downstairs “can you please put some curls in my hair please?”

Most people say that my mom, and are like twins, we look so much alike. My mom's hair is shorter than mine, she doesn't like her hair as long as I do.

“Lilly I'm cooking breakfast just hold on I'll see if dad can finish breakfast, and I'll be right up sweetheart.”

“Thanks, I'll be waiting love you so much.”

I get into my closet oh God, what the hell am I going to wear. I don't want to be rejected, I want to look beautiful. I can't take all this pressure, I sit on my bed and just start to cry. I can't handle this damn it.
