➸ Chapter 1
Kendra Martinez's POV 

♩♫ Please won't you push me for the last time and scream until there's nothing left-♪♭

        I woke up to the song King for a day by Pierce the veil, which was my alarm as of the moment. It was so loud but it does the job of waking me up. Hitting the snooze button, I yawned as the sun rays peak through my window.

I was still sleepy but if I don't get my ass to school, then my parents would kill me. Yes, they value education very much.

I went to the bathroom to freshen up by splashing my face with cold water. That was refreshing.

"Morning." I greeted my wolf Kiera. It was a beautiful day.

'Good Morning.' She replied back.

One thing you should know about me is that I have a wolf, but, I haven't shifted yet.

Werewolves usually shift at the age of 16 but I am already 17 and nothing ever happens to me. I don't really think about the fact that I don't shift. I don't really care because I know I'll shift when the right time comes. Though, I can hear my wolf even when I couldn't shift. She has always been there from the start. Or from what I can remember.

I walked to my closet and decided to wear a red knit top. It was very comfortable and was like wearing a blanket to school, so I paired it with some black bottoms and boots.

I wore the quartz necklace that my mother gave me. This item was something I really value because it reminds me of her all the time.

Putting my glasses on, I brushed my golden brown hair to the side and sprayed it with dry shampoo just to tame it. Without the dry shampoo, it would look like my hair was a crazy nest.

I was too lazy to fix myself if I must say. Whatever, it's not like I was going to impress somebody at school today. I snort and rolled my eyes at the thought.

It's just school people! Not a fashion show.

When I was done, I checked my appearance at the full-body length mirror and thought that I looked fine.

I may not be that skinny -the body type most girl wants- but I always try to keep it calm and body positive.

I grasped my brown bag from my chair and walked downstairs to the kitchen. There, I was greeted by my brother, Kenneth, who was currently sitting on a dining chair while my mother was cooking.

Where was my father? I did not see him in the kitchen yet. I'm guessing he's still out sleeping like a baby. Being the Beta has a lot of work and responsibilities. My father was probably tired that's for sure.

I watch as my slob of a brother eat like a pig.

My brother, Kenneth, is the future Alpha's best friend. Despite being the lady charmer like the Alpha himself, he's very intelligent and fine looking. Well, that was what I heard from the girls who were gossiping at the library yesterday. It was really uncomfortable and really weird for me to hear that.

Even though he was popular, he never fails to make me smile. He does not isolate me at school and still is a very nice, loving brother who always protects me.

I was totally a nerd if I must say. The glasses are one point, duh! I know it's cliché but it is true. People make fun of me in it and besides, I haven't shifted yet so they think I am really weak. Going back, yes, I'd rather be at home reading books it listening to music than doing drugs or sex at parties.

It's clear that we have different social standards in school but he's the best brother every girl could have.

One fact, Kenneth is going to inherit the Beta position if my parents give it to him or if he was ready for it. I wonder why he hasn't taken it from my father.

"Morning Kenny." I greeted, using his nickname. "Hey there, shnookums. Eat breakfast now 'cause I don't want to be late for school today." He smiled joyfully.

"Yeah, yeah." I waved him off. I then smelled the delicious aroma of pancakes and my tummy grumbled. Food is something my family enjoy. It's in our heritage to eat a lot.

My brother chuckled and shook his head while I grin sheepishly. He passed me a plate of pancakes and I started to dig in. "Damn, you sure do eat a lot." Kenneth snorted.

"Kenneth Brody Martinez! Are you calling me fat?" I tried to glare at him menacingly but failed miserably when I saw his reaction. Laughing hard, I clutched my stomach tighter as I saw his frightened face. As a grown man, it was really funny seeing him that terrified. I'm sure his future mate would have him wrapped around her little finger.

A girl should never be called fat even if it was a joke.

I wasn't even fat. Well, I am not thin as well but I know I have a lot of muscles!

Didn't you know? Every 'body' is beautiful.

Everybody gets the meaning of that Tumblr quote. Though it was out dated, it was beyond accurate. Thumbs up, body positivity!

"Ugh, let's just go to school now." He sighed.

Kenny and I said goodbye to our lovely mother and went to my brother's car which is a Maserati GranTurismo sport in the colour black. Yes, I am familiar with a lot of cars but I do hope that I get my own dream car.

While we were on the road, I asked him "So brother, when are you going to accept the Beta position?" I just wanted to find out because I think he's ready for it. I have trust in him and so are the people from the pack. Kenneth can be really influential when he wants to be.

Kenneth was silent for a while. I shouldn't have asked that but I was really curious. Then he replied, "Being beta is hard work. I don't want it yet. I'll accept it when the time is right." Well, I think he is ready to handle the position.

I stayed quiet for a moment before following up another question. This time, it's about me.

"When do you think will I shift?" I asked. I am the only one in the pack, besides the younger kids, who haven't shifted yet. It is somehow a little bit embarrassing for me because not shifting into your wolf is a disgrace to any pack.

Kenneth chuckled. "You ask a lot of questions today. Maybe, you'll shift on your eighteenth birthday which is a few days from now." He said not taking his eyes off the road.

That reminds me, my 18th birthday is coming up. It's very near already and I'm thinking of planning a party. Plus, I really am excited to meet my mate. Who knows? Maybe, I'll meet him there.

"Do you think I would find my mate in advance?" My brother sighed at me. "Yes, you may discover him in an early period but like me, you could always find him or her late as well." I just hope that my mate won't reject me. Nobody wants to get denied by their other half.

After that conversation, we blasted out loud music and drove to school smoothly.

+ + +

When my brother parked his car, I look outside to see my friends Abby and Ronnie, waiting for me.

"Hey guys!" I greeted them.

"Hey girl! What's up?" Ronnie said.

"The sky, duh!" Rolling their eyes, they laughed and grasped my arm together.

We walked down the hall together and I couldn't help but notice that there were a lot of people in the hallway. Did we increase in number? We then proceeded to the locker area to get our school books.

I then saw, my future Alpha, Archer Black making out with Brandi Hayes, the flirt. I do not want to call her a slut even though she kind of acts like one.

I mean, she couldn't just paw one dick you know? She has a lot of casual flings and relationships that people already doubt her. No offense. Maybe she thinks sex is therapeutic. I really don't know with her.

Watching them, I don't know why, but somehow I couldn't take my eyes off of them.

I felt the sudden urge to pull them apart. The feeling of unwillingness to share crashed over me like a tidal wave.

My wolf growled in my head. 'Whoa there! Easy tiger!' I calmed her down.

Though at times, I had to block her out because she kept on growling and still she wouldn't say anything.

Why do I feel like this?

I removed my gaze at the two and went straight to the classroom for I was almost late.

There must be something wrong with my feelings I guess.
