Chapter 1 Happy Birthday to me

My name is Kasara and I had just turned eighteen and was super excited because that means she would be able to shift and find her mate. I have waited for this day for what seems like forever. I am the daughter of Bata Charles and Laura. I am a member of one of the most notorious packs on the east, the Dark Forest Pack. I loved where I lived in the woods of Roanoke, Virginia, even though life was far from perfect.

Even though I am the Beta's daughter I was the focus of everyone's bullying. I am my no means the most beautiful. I was tall for a she-wolf, standing at 5'8", which is taller than most she-wolfs. I have long smooth red hair and freckles that cover my cheeks. I also have the brightest sea foam green eyes. I am not super skinny, unlike most she-wolves, but I am by no means fat.

I tried to tell my parents, but they were too busy with doing their duties to the pack, it seemed like they forgot they even have a daughter. I even tried going to the Alpha and Luna, but of course they did not believe me because my biggest bully was their son, future Alpha Declan.

I have no idea why I was the center of their aggression. I would go out of my way to avoid them. I did not like going to the pack house, even for pack meetings. But what happens when my biggest bully turns out to be her mate?

I woke up extra early so I could eat my breakfast in peace, but that was short lived. As I sat down at the table, I smelled the sweetest smell of woods and lavender. When I turned around, Declan was there staring at me with disgust in his eyes.
