Chapter 2 The blood Alpha

However, Alpha's mated with Alphas. That was just how it was. An Alpha male, who wanted strong pups would always choose a She Wolf who had an Alpha father or grandfather; to ensure their pups would be as strong

as possible. Yet, that didn't stop the eighteen-year-old girls from living in hope. It was in a She-Wolves

nature to want to be within Alpha.

"Gemini you better be dressed in the next two minutes, or else I'll come up there and dress you myself" my mother shouted. I groaned loudly, as I grabbed

my outfit and walked into the bathroom. I glanced myself over in the mirror - realizing that the sleepless night didn't do me any good. I had some serious work to

do.

I showered myself before changing into my outfit - a knee-length cotton white dress, with small delicate ivory flowers decorating the others. The top of the dress was strapless and hung to my chest tightly -but not in

a revealing way. The dress was A-Line and showed my figure. My mother told me that I had to show the male Wolves what they would

be getting.

Once my dress was on, I headed downstairs. My mother and my elder sister were both waiting

for me. My sister - Jazmine -

was three years older than me.

She met her mate, Adam, in her second year at the Mating Ritual. Adam was a nice guy, quiet, but nice. He was in our pack, so Jazmine continued to stay with our pack and live with us.

"Gemini" my mother greeted me, smiling nervously. "I knew that dress would be perfect. Now, please, sit". There was a seat

in the middle of the lounge, a table next to it covered in beauty products. I wore the basics of make-up most days, but looking at the table I suddenly felt like I knew nothing of beauty regimens.

I took a seat at the chair, and let my sister and my mother work on me. My sister curled my blonde

hair, leaving it to cascade down to

my lower back. My mother then worked on my face - making it seem flawless and bright.

I mean, I wasn't an ugly person

and I was fairly slim - but even

I was surprised by how pretty

I looked once I was completely

ready. My skin seemed to glow,

and my cheekbones were

obvious. My large eyes, a silver color, looked almost bewitching

as they were lined with black.

"Well she defiantly looks the

part" Jazmine commented to

my mother, who nodded in agreement.

"Let's just hope they don't try to

talk to her, then she might have

a chance of being picked by

someone" she replied.

I frowned, slightly hurt, but didn't comment. It wasn't exactly untrue to say that my personality was

so what lacking? I had been told I didn't have a personality on many occasions. I was told I was boring and quiet, but I knew I was just comfortable in my own company. I got it from my father; who didn't speak much, but when he did it was Said with wisdom.

"Let's just hope her looks distract people from her strength

and personality" my mother muttered, as I headed towards

the front door. I grabbed my suitcase and pulled it with me.

My mother kissed and hugged me goodbye, as did my sister before they waved me off - not before a quick reminder of how I needed to act. 1

I met the other Wolves who were all going to the Mating Ritual. Both the girls and the boys

were all dressed to impress, but the girls more than the boys. When I saw my best friend, Jacob, I smiled and rushed over to

him.

Jacob wore a pair of black jeans,

and a white polo shirt. His brown

hair was tousled and styles

messily, but in a good way. Jacob

was an attractive guy, there was

no doubt that She Wolves would

be pushing their chests out for his attention. "Gem" he smiled.

"Hey," I grinned brightly at him.

"You look amazing" he commented, reaching forward

to hug me. I swatted

his hands away blushing profoundly. I didn't like being the center of attention - never had.

"Don't mess with mv hair" I joked.

He laughed with me, shaking his head. I was quiet, but I spoke more when I got comfortable with people. With Jacob, I could be myself. He gave me a large smile before a voice sounded

to my left. It was our Alpha - we had a bus taking us to the Mating Ritual.
