Moonbeam's POV

After school, I walked home as usual. All I could think about was how I'm probably going to die today all because of a pencil. I shook my head and looked up to the sky, praying that I didn't die today.

I finally reached the pack house (where all the teenage werewolves in our pack live) and I was dreading what was to come next. I slowly turned the door knob on the front door, trying to refrain from being heard. I then tip-toed into the house, slowly and gently shut the door behind me and quietly made my way up the 2 flights of stairs to the 3rd floor where my room is.

The only people that live on this floor are the Beta and Delta (third in command) family. Since my dad used to be the current Beta of the pack (both of my parents died 2 years ago), Jasmine, Bane (my older brother) and I live on this floor. Jake Wolf lives on this floor also because his mother is the current Delta and he is the future Delta. He's as big of a jerk as my brother and the Alpha.

I did a happy dance once I had gotten to my bedroom door. I was glad I avoided Bracken and Jasmine successfully....or maybe I spoke too soon.

"Moonbeam Jackson, please follow me into my office." Alpha Bracken said.

Great. I guess this is where I end up dying.

I followed him down the flight of steps, passing the second floor, which has all the rest of the pack members, including the omegas (lowest rank in the pack), and to the first floor where we went down several hallways to get to his sound-proof office.

I walked into the room cautiously, not knowing what he was about to do. Probably skin me alive but I'm hoping that's not the case.

"Sit down, please." Alpha Bracken told me. Of course I couldn't say no because I just wanted to sit down after a long day, so I sat on the leather love seat with Alpha Bracken sitting on the love seat on the opposite side of the table that was between us two.

"Now, do you know why I called you here?" He asked me.

"To skin me alive for treason? Although, I'm hoping that's not the case because I still haven't met my mate and all that so if you could spare my life, yeah that would be great. " Oh snap. Did I just talk to the Alpha like that? Dang, I'm just digging my grave aren't I?

To my surprise he chuckled and shook his head.

"You don't have to worry about never meeting your mate Moon."

Moon? Only my siblings can call me that. What is happening here?!

"Why is that, Alpha?"

"Call me Bracken. And you don't have to worry about never meeting your mate because I'm not going to skin you alive or anything. " Wow. Well that was unexpected. The Alpha is always known to be mad when people call him just by his name without the title and he's giving me permission to do what angers him the most?

"Okaaaay. Then, why have I been summoned here?"

"I have asked you here because I need your blessing."

"Blessing for....?"

"Blessing for your sister and I...."

Now that, that blew me away. Jasmine and this jerk? My little sister with this player?! You probably already know what my decision was going to be.

"Why should I give you my blessing. For one, you are a player. Two, you are a jerk and your group always bullied me when my sister wasn't there, not that I cared because nothing that you said bothered me, and three, how do I know that you aren't going to end up hurting her?" I crossed my arms and raised my eyebrow waiting for an answer. He looked extremely angry and I could tell his wolf was coming out but I wasn't scared.

"Human! You dare deny me of my mate! I should have you thrown in jail or rip you to shreds just for saying that." Bracken's voice was slightly rougher and deeper because it was his wolf talking, not him.

"No. I am not denying you of your mate. But because she is my sister, my only sister at that, I need to know that she will be happy in your care and you will not abuse her trust and love for you. " I stated simply.

His wolf seemed to calm down a bit but not much.

" I understand. But she is my mate, I will never hurt her. I would rather hurt myself than hurt my mate. " I could tell he was telling the truth but I still wasn't convinced.

"But can you say the same for your human side? Can you say, with a honest heart, that your human will never hurt my sister?"

"I will never hurt Jasmine. She is mine and no one will hurt her, especially not me, her mate. " Bracken had gotten control of his body finally and replied. I could see that he really believed in what he just told me and so, reluctantly, I nodded my head.

"Then you have my blessing. I wish you and my sister good luck and may you forever be together. " I stood up slowly and bowed a little to show respect for my new brother.

"Thank you. " He finally had calmed down all the way after I said that.

"Two questions though. One, can I call you brother now or no? And two, why did you ask me? Why not my brother?"

"Yes, you may call me that. In fact, it's cool that you already consider me your brother. It means a lot. To answer your second question, I asked your brother and he said yes after threatening me and all. And I was only going to ask your brother as it is tradition that when you find your mate, you must ask the oldest male in your mate's family, father or brother, for their blessing. However, Jasmine values your opinion as well and told me that without your blessing, she would not be happy if and when we were together. "

Awe, she really cares that much about me that even her mate couldn't make her happy without my blessing? Wow.

"Well, thank you and take care of her. I've got my eyes on you."

He nodded and I chuckled a little.

"Well, I believe it is time for me to leave because I have a lot of homework to do. So I will see you in class tomorrow, bro."

He smiled and nodded.

"See ya!" He said as I walked out of his office door.

I walked back down the hallways until I got to the front of the pack house. I then walked into the kitchen for a snack before I had to start my homework. I saw my sister and brother sitting on the bar stools talking about something and they stopped when I walked in.

I shrugged my shoulders and decided to play a little prank on these two for not telling me before.

"I think you may want to say goodbye to your mate, Jasmine." I said casually.

"Wh-why?" She sounded like she was going to cry.

"You should probably be saying goodbye to me too. " I continued while making my sandwich.

"What? Why?!" Both of my siblings said.

"Well, he asked for my blessing and I refused because he is a player and a jerk. He got angry and he exiled me from the pack so I'm supposed to be gone by tomorrow. " I shrugged my shoulders again and took a bite of my sandwich. This is one good sandwich.

"OH MY GOSH! I know that we are mates and all but he doesn't have the right to kick you out of the pack just because you didn't bless our relationship! " Jasmine said worriedly.

"Yeah! That son of a gun needs to be taught a lesson. I thought we were cool but exiling my little sister is NOT cool." I could tell Bane was pissed.

I started to laugh and gave both of my siblings a tight hug.

"Calm down. I was only messing with you guys. But that's what you get for not telling me that you are our future Luna! And Bane! You knew but you didn't tell me! " I punched both of them in the shoulder lightly.

They both looked slightly guilty at what I told them. Which is funny because Bane is the baddest bad boy you will ever see and he usually never feels guilty about anything. His bad boy look is complete with the chestnut brown hair, hazel eyes, perfect teeth, leather jackets and jeans, and his motorcycle. All the girls have fallen for my brother at some point in their life.

You would think I would look the same as my bother and sister with perfect brown hair, hazel eyes and a great smile right? Wrong. The only thing we share is a perfect, white smile. Other than that, we aren't the same. I have blonde hair with naturally colored ends. I'm not sure why my hair is so colorful seeing that I never dyed it but whatever. My eyes are purple with an outer ring of red. Personally, I think my eyes are the best thing about me but some people say it's creepy and unnatural.

Oh well, back to the matters at hand.

"I tried to tell you but you ran off at lunch. " Oh! That's what was happening.

"I thought he was gonna kill me for treason!" I told her.

"WHAT DID YOU DO THAT QUALIFIED FOR TREASON?!" Bane asked.

"Okay, so I was tapping my pencil in 4th period and he told me to stop...but I rolled my eyes at him and didn't stop." I said.

They both rolled their eyes and chuckled.

"Only you." They said in unison.

"Okay, well this has been fun but I have homework to do, Jasmine, you have a mate that's waiting for you, and Bane, don't you have a motorcycle to fix?" Jasmine ran off as soon as I said that and I smiled.

"Actually, your bike is all fixed. It was easy really. You just needed gas." Bane told me. Oops. And yes, I have a motorcycle. It is my baby!

"Okay, well thanks big bro and I will see ya around. " I waved and headed upstairs to do my homework.

Well, today has been eventful to say the least.

Ha! I got you didn't I? You probably thought that Moonbeam was Bracken's mate but she's not.
