Hellen was used to
being the center of attention, she was popular at school, cheerleader of the
Angry Wolves soccer team, had long curly hair as dark as the night, and eyes as
blue as a sunny day, her body was perfectly perfect , As far as she was concerned
her life was perfect, her father was the alpha of the Red Moon Pack, the second
largest pack in the world thanks to her father's unique way of leading and
training the members, second only to the royal pack, and that was because that
was where the Alpha King ruled.
Hellen's plans for
life were simple, to graduate and go to college far away from Forks, the small
town surrounded by forest, and composed almost entirely of wolves, except for a
few humans who lived among them but knew about the secret of Forks, to get away
from the surveillance of her father and her brother Trevan, who would soon be
the future Alpha.
She wanted the
freedom of not having anyone bossing her around, she was the little girl of the
family, since her mother died shortly after she was born in a raid by rogue
wolves, which made her father and brother extremely protective of her, as well
as spoiling her.
But there was still
a year to go before she could go to college, and to her long-dreamed-of
freedom.
Hellen sighs and remembers
once again the fiasco that was the night before, when she finally agreed to go
out with Mike, the most popular wolf after her brother and Noah her future
beta, she had just turned seventeen, and there was no sign that her mate was
going to be of this pack, so she finally decided to give her first kiss, after
all kissing wouldn't hurt anyone.
No one would believe
that the most popular girl was a BV, a term used for people who had never
kissed, but her fame came from na incident when a boy in the fifth grade told a
friend that he had kissed her behind the bleachers at the end of a game, and
the rumor spread and she didn't deny it because it matched her image as a
popular girl, and so always one or two boys made up rumors that she didn't
deny, which made her brother furious, although he was two years older than her
and no longer at school, Noah to Hellen's misfortune was eighteen and in her
class, he kept Trevan informed about Hellen's every move at school, and that
was how her alpha father Dilan and her brother found out about her meeting with
Mike.
Just remembering her
brother knocking on Mike's car window just as he leaned in to kiss her and her
father literally yanking the poor guy out of the car as soon as he opened the
door made her want to cry.
Even knowing that
Mike wouldn't give up on her couldn't improve her mood.
"Hellen if you don't
come down I'm going up and you won't like it," Trevan shouts from downstairs.
Since last night
Hellen had been on a silent strike, as she knew it mortally annoyed her father
and brother , she had refused to eat breakfast and lunch, and although she was
starving and her wolf Sally was restless, she intended to skip dinner.
"That's enough Hell,
I'm starving, if you're not coming down , then let's go out for a run and I can
hunt a deer," Sally complains
Sighing Hellen
decides to go downstairs for dinner and maintain the strike of silence.
In the dining room
she finds her father and brother, who seem relieved to see her.
"Darling Madam Luiza
has prepared your favorite dish," says her father but without getting any
response.
Hellen simply sits
down and serves herself completely ignoring the presence of her father and
brother.
"Mike is not the guy
for you little sister, we just want you to save yourself for your mate," Trevan
tries
Snorting in anger
Hellen gives up the strike of silence and says:
"By any chance
before you found out Eve was your mate you hadn't already picked up half the
girls in the gang" and turning to her father says " and you daddy do you think
I don't know about your nightly encounters with Mrs. Peterson?"
The silence she
receives in response only increases her anger.
"Now you want me to save myself for a guy that may take
years to show up and that for sure will have already got all over the place,
without even a kiss?, damn you have crossed the line" and without mercy she
plays her final move, "if mom was here I'm sure she would agree with me, I'm
not saying I'm going around sleeping with guys but a kiss won't kill anyone".
Her father sighs
defeated and says:
"That's fine as long
as it doesn't go beyond that..."
"Dad you can't be
serious", Trevan interrupts
"Yes I am, she's
right son, there are wolves that unfortunately can't find their mates, we can't
ask her to do that", and turning to Hellen he says, "but young lady, that
doesn't mean we won't be watching you, and if that imbecile gets one finger out
of line it will be the end of him" he says giving the subject as closed.
And Hellen feels her
world getting back on track where everything is exactly the way she wants it.
"Changing the
subject, the royal delegation arrives tomorrow for the first day of school"
says Alpha Dilan
"What? Who is
arriving tomorrow?" asks Hellen interested.
"Daughter we have
been talking about this for months, our flock has been chosen by King Alpha to
house Prince Luke and his friends for his last year at school, so he can have a
look at our training and leadership method"
"I hear he is
cursed" says Trevan as he pours himself more food.
"Cursed?" asks
Hellen interested.
"Well he is the most
powerful being in our world, much stronger even than his father the Alpha
King,,, and that has made him cruel and cold, and he can't meet his mate as na
agent, by smell , he only recognizes her by the most intimate touch, they say
he and the group are very ill tempered" says Alpha Dilan and turning to his
daughter "stay away from them dear".
Hellen smiles, but
little does she know that her perfect world is about to change.
Luke couldn't
believe that he had let his father talk him into spending a year in that end of
the world, this was all because their alpha was doing a great job and his father
thought that he as a future Alpha king would benefit by learning from the alpha
Dilan of the red moon gang , not that his father could make him do anything,
because ever since he first transformed at the age of eight it was clear that
he would be much stronger than his father and older brother, but Luke couldn't
say no to his father lately as he was seriously ill.
"Haa go cheer up
your mate might be there" says Diego his brother and future Beta
Luke quickly looks
at Vanessa, but she still seems to be sleeping.
"Oh sure, I just
sleep with all the girls in the gang and if I'm lucky one of them is the
promised one" , he answers wryly , "by any chance has that worked for you?" he
asks his brother, for although people believed he was cursed, it was not true,
for all male descendants of the first Alpha king had the same condition, they
only suffered the mate bond with closer contact.
"Not really, more I
have fun trying," Diego replies and Luke can't repress a smile
"For me daddy was
the luckiest to find mommy and her to be his mate" says Luke
"Maybe he is right and we are somehow attracted to our
mates, look at dad, he says he couldn't help it even though he was dating
someone else, and Uncle Beto said he hated Aunt Silvia so much that he only
slept with her to get revenge and that she was his mate"
"The only person
that attracted me in this life was Vanessa and we already know that she is not
my mate" Luke says once again checking if his girlfriend is still asleep.
Diego rolls his
eyes, it's no secret that he doesn't like Vanessa.
Luke loves and
respects his brother and values his Beta bond, but he doesn't agree with him
about Vanessa, Diego says that Vanessa is fake and deceitful, and has me in her
hands playing the role of a shy and demure girl when in fact she's the devil on
earth, According to him, all the accidents that happened to girls who got too
close to me were the work of Vanessa and her best friends Tiffany and Rachel,
but for Luke the brother was prejudiced because Vanessa was a hybrid, half wolf
and half vampire, and vampires and werewolves do not have a very good track
record.
To Luke Vanessa was
exactly the sweet, shy girl she seemed to be, and he was glad he hadn't found
his mate if he could make Vanessa his queen instead .
"Are we there yet?"
asks Beto my best friend and Gama, who shares Diego's opinion about Vanessa and
her friends.
"No Donkey" says
Diego laughing at his own joke.
There are six of us
in all, my father wanted me to leave Vanessa in the kingdom, but she refused to
stay, and so I had no choice but to let her friends come along too.
The Van's headlight
illuminates a sign that reads " Welcome to Forks population of three thousand
five hundred and forty-five."
"Finally," says
Beto.
The driver who had
picked them up at the Seattle airport said:
"Welcome to Forks"
And headed for the house next door to the alpha's that had been meant for them
to stay .
To Luke's surprise
there was no one waiting for them, which makes him happy.
As he gets out of
the car a shiver runs down his spine and his wolf Tron stirs.
"What was that,
buddy?" asks Luke to Tron but gets only silence in response.
Taking Vanessa on
his lap he enters the house and puts her in the room she will share with her
friends, it's not that they didn't sleep together but Tron was territorial, and
didn't like sleeping with Vanessa in the same bed.
The house had four
bedrooms with individual bathrooms, so he and the boys would take one room each
and the girls shared one.
Luke lies in bed
thinking about the Companion that he probably won't find, but he believes that
she would be like Vanessa, sweet, shy and quiet.
The next morning the
alpha Dilan and his son Trevan come to welcome the group.
Luke is happy to see
that the two cars and the motorcycle they brought with them are already parked
in front of the house. After a quick conversation with alpha Dilan, Luke can
already see that the guy is really special, always putting the welfare of the
group first.
Now he Vanessa and
her friends are heading to the school, the boys are right behind in the other
car, Luke makes a face when a red BMW convertible passes them , who would drive
such a car in that end of the world.
Vanessa sitting next
to Luke thinks that she should have stayed in the kingdom, from the
conversation she overheard yesterday between Luke and that idiot Diego made it
clear that she didn't run the risk of Luke going around looking for that
Companion, it had been a lot of work pretending all the time to be this girl
without salt to win him over, and now he was getting closer and closer to mark
her as his companion, if it wasn't for his wolf that was also making things
difficult this would have already happened, but now looking at this end of the
world, she can't help but regret for having come along.
Meanwhile Hellen arrives at the school just in time to wish
good luck to Mike, who was going to take the test to be a warrior of the gang,
if he passed he would start training with the elite and who knows this way his
father and Trevan would stop picking on him.
"Hey there kitty,"
says Mike kissing Hellen's cheek who smiles at the gesture .
"Hi , look Mike
about the other night..." starts Hellen
"Relax kitten, next
time maybe we'll have better luck" says Mike winking at her and wrapping his
waist with one hand and asks, "but we are together aren't we?"
"Yes we are," Hellen
replies decisively.
At that moment
someone bumps into her and if it hadn't been for Mike holding her, she would
have fallen.
She turns to see who
was the rude stray when her eye makes contact with a beautiful boy, he was
tall, strong, with blond hair and blue eyes that Ellen didn't know it was
possible to have eyes that color, but his face showed disgust, and a certain
anger.
He just walks by as
if she was nothing and he hadn't just almost thrown her to the ground.
"Hey rude, where did
you come from they didn't teach you to apologize when you bump into people"
says Hellen as she is not used to being ignored.
A girl who seemed to
be his friend said:
"Touch yourself
girl, you are talking to Prince Luke Didion".
But Hellen is not
intimidated and says:
"Oh, now I get it,
it's the cursed one" and she turns to Mike, who stares at her.
Diego observes the
scene intrigued as well as Beto, what could have happened to Luke is the
question they ask themselves, they were standing there talking about how it
would be better to be distributed in different classes, so they could have na
overview of how things worked over there, when they realized that Luke was
focused on the conversation of a couple a little ahead, The girl was beautiful
but not Luke's style, she was the typical popular girl, everyone who passed by
greeted her, and although she didn't dress vulgarly it was obvious that she
dressed to call attention, her long dark hair fell almost to her waist.
It wasn't that Luke
was incapable of seeing the beauty of the girl, but it so happens that about
three years ago his best friend discovered that the popular girl at school was
his partner, at first the girl seemed to be happy, but shortly after they had
made up their minds she ran away with a human, a famous American soccer player,
in the letter she left him she said things like she wanted her freedom, and to
know the world, this broke Joshua up and he killed himself shortly after. And
this transformed Luke, who started to have na aversion for that kind of girl.
But to Diego and Beto's surprise he didn't take his eyes off
the girl in front of him, only that at the moment that the guy hugged her and
the girl confirmed that they were going out together Luke had a kind of
outburst because he passed by the girl like a tractor almost throwing her to
the ground.
Beto stifles
laughter as he hears the girl's response to Raquel one of Vanessa's
insufferable friends , unfortunately Vanessa had gone to the bathroom with
Tiffany her other insufferable friend or this scene would get much more
interesting, but the girl calling Luke cursed in front of him was the highlight
of the week for Beto who was doing everything not to fall in laughter, this
showed that either the girl was dumb or brave, but no matter which one she was
Beto was already her fan.
"What's gotten into
you," Luke asks Tron
"I don't know, all I
know is that guy touching the girl is pissing me off" replies Tron
Luke turns around
and looks at the girl who just called him cursed. And he can't deny that she
was beautiful, but if there was na embodiment of the true preppy girl , it was
that one right now, and Luke hated girls like that.
"What did you say?"
asks Luke to Hellen
By now they have
caught the attention of the whole school who is watching them to find out what
is going on.
Hellen gets all
stuck up, and Luke thinks she looks even cuter when she sticks her little nose
up like that.
As he realizes his
thoughts Luke thinks " what the fuck are those thoughts".
"There you didn't
know that's what it's called" says Hellen getting more and more irritated "they
say it's because you can't find your mate like the rest of us, but I personally
think it's because you're uneducated arrogant" she finishes by sticking her
nose up even more.
Beto can't stand it
any longer and bursts into laughter, earning na angry look from Luke, who is
increasingly interested in his brother's reaction.
Luke takes two steps
towards the annoyingly beautiful girl, but the guy who is with her seems to
have taken courage and pulls her behind him, earning a look of admiration from
the idiot girl, Luke decides to show her that his protector would not last a
second with him.
At this point Beto
loses his cool and he and Diego decide to intervene.
At the same time the
Alpha Dilan and his son Trevan and his Beta appear and seeing the situation
they pose protectively in front of the young couple who are the target of
Lucky's anger.
Luke's eyes
immediately turn red; it seems that brat had a habit of winning the protection
of the males of the gang.
Diego and Beto
posture themselves next to Luke immediately and Diego whispers in his brother's
ear:
"What's gotten into
you?"
"What the fuck are
you doing man?" helps Beto .
And that was exactly
the same question Luke was asking himself.
Alpha Dilan is the
first to speak:
"What the hell is
going on here?"
"I thought you guys
came here to learn our method and not to attack my sister" , spits Trevan
already overcome by anger and with red eyes too.
"Let's calm down"
says Alpha Dilan in a tone that doesn't admit discussion.
Luke takes a deep
breath and begins to realize how big a mess he's gotten himself into, because
the brat was Alpha Dilan's daughter.
"Okay, Hellen dear
can you explain to me what's going on here?", Alpha Dilan continues
"I don't know, I was
talking to Mike when the Cursed One..." begins Hellen
"Hellen!" growls
alpha Dilan in warning
"Okay, okay ... when
the hot one ..." tries Hellen once again, and Beto has another laughing fit
"Hellen I'm warning
you" , says na alpha Dilan red with anger
"Okay", Hellen gives
in, "I was talking to Mike when the Prince , came and bumped into my back , I
only didn't fall because Mike held me"
Alpha Dilan arches
her eyebrows looking at Luke, who thinks he has no excuse for this after all
even he didn't know why he acted like that.
"It was just a
misunderstanding" , Diego tries
"It won't happen
again," Luke completes, as he wasn't there to displease the alpha of the gang
but to learn from him.
"Thanks Mike, I
think you can go, with my sister to class now" Trevan says and when Mike makes
mention of leaving he completes , "and Mike sorry about the other night, you
are welcome anytime you want to meet up with Hellen"
Mike cracks a huge
smile, and pulls Hellen by the hand into the school, not even casting a glance
at Luke, and Hellen follows him but rolls her eyes when she sees Luke following
them with his eyes.
