~~~Lionel's POV~~~

My eighteenth birthday was coming up. Only five more days and hopefully I'll find my mate. Being the upcoming alpha, it's important I find a mate to lead the pack along side me when my father's position is passed down to me.

"Hey Lionel." My best friend and soon to be Beta, Brody Edwards, greeted me as he sat down next to me at our table with the rest of the football team. Some of them were weres.

"Hey man." I fist bumped him.

"Sooo, eighteenth birthday coming up soon. How we gonna celebrate?" He asked me, grinning.

"Party, drinks, pool, friends, food, girls." I stated as he chuckled.

"Plenty of girls. Hey check out Dana. I swear she has the hots for you." He whispered pointing to a girl sitting a couple tables away from us. She was very pretty with nice auburn hair and bright green eyes. And she wasn't a complete and total slut.

"Think she could be your mate?" Brody asked.

"Maybe." I shrugged, slightly grinning. I definitely wouldn't mind her being my mate. She's a sweet girl, very bubbly.

She looked up from where she was, her eyes meeting mine. I flashed her a signature grin and she blushed looking back at her tray.

"MOVE IT FAG!"

All heads turned toward the source if that shout. Turns out it was from Tate, very likely. He was standing over Caleb, the weak little wolf in the pack. Caleb was in the ground, his food all over him.

"Watch where the fuck you're walking!!" Tate snarled. I don't know why but I stood up and began to make my way over to the both of them.

"Don't do anything stupid, Lionel." Brody mind linked me.

"You know I won't. Don't worry about me." I replied.

I reached Caleb and Tate, resting my hand upon his shoulder.

Both of their eyes darted to me quickly in fear and surprise.

"Tate." I growled, my voice low. He gulped loudly and stood up straight.

"Lionel." He deadpanned.

"Leave him alone. Or you will be punished." I whispered the last part. Anger flashed through his eyes as he looked back at Caleb.

"Fucking fag." He spat and walked off roughly brushing my hand off his shoulder. I rolled my eyes and extended my hand out for Caleb to take. He hesitated before grabbing it and I pulled him to his feet.

"Thanks...again." He mumbled looking down at his feet.

"No problem." I monotoned.

"CALEB!!" A really high pitched voice screamed. A girl wrapped her arms around Caleb's neck as she jumped onto his back, wrapping her lags around his waist.

"What did that fucker do to you?! I swear I'm gonna kill that bastard!" She exclaimed. Caleb chuckled lightly and sighed.

"Nothing. Lionel...helped me. I'm fine. No need getting yourself arrested for murder." He said patting his friend's arm.

"Even if he really deserves it?" She spoke like a child and batted her eyelashes.

"Even if he really deserves it." Caleb grinned.

"I hope he burns in hell then." She pouted. Caleb turned around and walked off to a table, but not without sending me a shy smile. I grinned slightly at him and walked back over to my table.

"Glad you didn't do anything dumb. With the rogues troubling the pack, you cant afford a detention." Brody smiled as he sent me a message through mind link. I rolled my eyes at him, "Whatever."

++++++++++

At the end of the day, I got in my car and went to where the pack lives. We live in an old neighborhood that was once deserted but we decided to fix it up and make it our home. There plenty of houses for all the individual families. And there two big mansions known as the pack houses. This is where most of the teens live, together in one place like a dorm on a college campus. Some adults live in them too. I mean they do still have to take care of us. My parents live in the largest pack house. My dad is the Alpha along with my mother as Luna.

"Hey Lionel, guess who's back?" Brody literally squealed in my ear as we walked up to the door of the pack house. Yes, my beta squealed. Weird I know.

"Who?" I asked smiling.

"Hey Lionel."

I looked up too see my older brother, Alex Smith, standing at the door, leaning against the frame. My eyes widened and my mouth dropped in shock, turning into a grin as I sprinted to him and flung myself into his arms.

"ALEX!!" I screamed. He laughed as he barely caught me and we both crashed to the floor, beginning to wrestle.

"How's my little brother?" He asked flipping me over so he was on top of me, "Gotten any stronger?"

I grinned widely and flipped him over so that I was straddling his hips.

"Definitely." I chuckled.

"Damn. I knew I should've kept training while I was away. I've allowed my little bro to surpass me." He said faking a pout. I laughed and rolled off of him.

"It's great to have you back, Alex." I said to him.

"It's great to be back." He grinned and pulled me into a headlock and ruffled my hair.

"Ahem, incest." Someone, and I mean Brody, coughed.

"Shut it Edwards. You're just jealous you don't have a brotherly love like we do." I flipped him off.

"That's right." Alex laughed and placed a sloppy, wet kiss on my cheek.

"Eww!" I grimaced and pushed myself away from him as he laughed his head off.

"Lionel!! Alex!! Brody!! Food!" A voice came from inside the house. Me and Alex jumped up and the three of us crashed into each other as we ran into the kitchen, where Malinda, a chef was cooking. She had steak on the table. Rare. The three of us sniffed the air, taking in the mouth watering smell. Time to celebrate my brother's return.
