1 At first glance...

"It's complicated," I said "I don't like him like that" I muttered, my lips muddled and cheeks flushed "he's..." I paused "just a friend". I whimpered as my best friends eyes grew wide, I knew that she knew about it, everyone did it's obvious I liked him, but I just couldn't bring myself to tell the truth.

I am an alpha and nothing can change that. Every day at school I'm what other wolves call human and that's all I am during the day. However at night I change, the blood rush, the hunt lust, the prey, I love it all and ever since I can remember so did my parents. Then one night, we stopped going out, stopped hunting, stopped everything, it was the night my mother disappeared.

All these years after the incident happened, I couldn't give up searching for my mother just because I'm in heat over some human boy? I could never. What if he finds out about what I am? at first glance I'm normal but that's only until night time arrives, and father? what would he think if I brought my crush home "hey honey who's this nice piece of meat you brought home?" yeah right dad 'as if!, thanks but no thanks, I'm good', if I brought my crush home there would be another "incident" I'd have to worry about other than the disappearing act of mother dearest.

I've got bigger problems than who's gonna take me to prom.
