Every girl dreams of their high-school prom and I was no exception. My friends and I were getting ready to go dress shopping but my parents were just not understanding how important this was to me! They believe I should refrain from doing anything that could affect my imagination and cause any negative attention to our family name. Apparently, being the beta’s daughter puts a leash on you having fun.
Of course, I take every opportunity to enjoy my life and live life to its fullest. Mom said I reminded of her who she was before she found her mate and tended to give me some leeway, but dad is a huge stickler for the rules. My mom, Sarah, is 5’ 6” tall with a toned frame and light brown hair that is chest length. She is a warrior in our pack and has taught me to fight since I was 5. My dad, Ben, is a 6’ 7” football-built body that could bench a car, a tattoo covering him from head to toe with slick black hair. He has never gone easy on me and was upset I was not a boy, but that did not stop him from raising me as such.
I completed in all the boy’s completions, but I have yet to get the best from him. He thinks I am just as good and should get the beta position when he retires if I can shape up and not cause him more headaches. I laughed thinking about all the lectures he has given me over the years. “What mate will want a girl who parties and is fast and loose with the rules, let alone an Alpha who would want you as a beta!” I laughed because I grew up with the future alpha, Damian.
He is my best friend and occasionally we have kissed, but I am keeping my virginity for my mate. Damian is 6’ 8” of solid muscle, short black hair, a tribal tattoo from his chest to his shoulder around his neck and arm and across his back. He is a walking sex on a stick with piercing bright blue eyes. His temper does match his bad boy appearance, but he has always had a sweet spot for me. I know I have always caught his eye. Being 5’ 7” a slender and toned body with waist dark wavy hair and emerald green eyes, I tend to catch a few guys’ eyes. However, I think most of them think they will get the position of beta, so I tend to ignore them.
“Hurry up Nina!” shouts my best friend, Holly. She is beautiful with her creamy mocha skin, shoulder-length black hair. She might only be 5’ 5” but her attitude is that of an 8-foot-tall person. I jumped off my vanity and ran to the front door before she started to climb the stairs. I kept her waiting once and she almost broke my door down!
“I am coming! I had to finish my makeup”, I said, slightly out of breath.
“Zach, Damian and Trevor are in the car waiting for us.” Zach is another warrior’s son. He is 6’ 6” with a pale skin complexion, hazel eyes and shoulder-length blonde hair. He is cute in his own way, but has a softer expression to him. He has always had eyes for Holly, not that she pays attention. Being the gamma’s daughter, she has also gotten the lectures I have gotten. Trevor is her brother and Damian’s right-hand man since they were only born a few days apart. He is 6’ 6” darker complected than Holly, with jet black hair and the same matching dark brown eyes with a gold flake in them that Holly has. Apparently, it is a family trait of theirs.
“Bye mom and dad!”
“Bye honey, remember to behave and mind-link me if you have any troubles! Do not get into a fight this time!” Dad yelled from the kitchen. It was one time and I won the fight. It’s not my fault a guy couldn’t understand no. Dad is not too worried this time, since I promised the boys were going along this time and would “protect us”. Like it needed a guy to protect me. I just rolled my eyes and walked out the door with my arm on Holly’s shoulders.
“Hurry up girls! I don’t have all day” yelled Trevor.
“Oh, shut up Trevor, you got nothing but time today” Holly mouthed off, sliding into the back seat of Damian’s Cadillac Escalade. I of course, hopped right into the front seat next to Damian. Some people thought I was Damian’s mate; we didn’t believe we were, but we weren’t against it either. I was treated as such though and never minded.
