Chapter 2

The wind felt refreshing across Twilight's snow-white fur as she ran along the pack's board line, occasionally stopping to walk instead.

"You know, you are allowed to celebrate your birthday, right?" She heard Tis say.

Tis was her sweet, lovable wolf, but like any rose, she had her thorns. This was one of the things that made Tis and Twilight so similar.

"Where are you going this?" Twilight asked.

"I'm just saying that birthdays are super important and special, you know, because they mean you're a whole year closer to finding your mate. Just thinking about it makes me wanna jump around and annoy you to no end."

"Do you ever think of anything besides finding a mate?"

"One of us has to, and since you don't seem to care, guess who has to. And don't you dare give me that holier-than-thou-attitude. I bet you'll be all over our mate when we find him and..."

"And that it's time to stop talking to you and get back home? What a great idea."

"Hold on, I'm not done..."

"But I am, bye," She said before shutting Tis out and racing back home.

Within minutes, she was finally home and got ready to take a bubble bath. Needless to say, she'd rather die than let anyone know that she still loved taking bubble baths.

Once she was in the warm water, she came to the realisation she had barely seen any of the other wolves while she was out. Which was very weird considering that the pack was always lively at this time of the day; she figured that her dad might have something to do with it.

After being satisfied with the amount of time she spent playing around with bubbles, she forced herself out. She sat on the edge of the tub, and used the other towel to dry her wavy white curls. As elegant as they looked, they were sometimes uncontrollable and frustrating, as if they wanted to be difficult whenever they felt like it.

Afterwards, she went to her room and got dressed in a pair of jeggings and a hoodie. She finished off the look with a pair of sneakers, as she always did, and her hair in her iconic ponytail with her bangs just above her turquoise-coloured eyes, partially covering her silvery brows.

She went downstairs to look for her dad and found him in the front yard.

"Hey Papa Wolf, I noticed that the pack was emptier than usual today. Is there something going on?" She asked while walking towards him.

"Alpha Jace of the Blood Moon pack said he wanted to come over to discuss some urgent business with me. The other wolves were just..." He was interrupted by a yellow Jeep pulling into the driveway. "Speak of the devil, here he comes."

The moment the doors opened; Twilight's senses were overwhelmed by the most heavenly scent she'd ever smelt. She felt like she was on a sugar rush, and her eyes dilated and that emptiness she'd been feeling all these years completely vanished. Hell, she couldn't even remember what it felt like at that moment. She could feel herself breaking into a cold sweat and her heart skipping more than just a beat while it was pumping her body with adrenaline. The overwhelming emotions had her wanting to throw up the cupcake, but at the same time, they were soothing and made her feel safe.

"That's our mate!" Tis said excitedly while jumping around in Twilight's head.
