Stubborn Love

Chapter 1

It's hard being a female werewolf, especially when your dad is the alpha. My older brother was supposed to take over but he was killed by rogues when I was 7. I'm 18 now and I'm supposed to take over the pack soon but the rules are simple. I must be 18 and I must be married, the rules are the same for both male and female. I, however, am mateless and if I don't find him soon, my father will marry me to some powerful alpha that will combine our packs. That is the last thing I want.

My father gave me 1 month to find my mate and if I don't by then, I'll be married immediately. Quite honestly I hope my mate isn't an Alpha, I don't want to be a Luna, I want to be an Alpha. I see how my mom is with my dad and I don't like it. She really has no say about anything that happens to the pack even though it's hers too. I want to be the one to make the final decisions. I've trained since the day my brother died for this and no one is taking that away from me, not even my mate.

Even though I'm an 18 year old werewolf that's soon to be Alpha, I still have to go to school. Senior year starts today. I guess I should have been graduated already but werewolves take a year off to train their wolf and learn self control. I don't go to a werewolf school or anything like that, I don't think those exist. My friend group is all werewolves though so we don't really associate with humans much.

"Tyler, honey, it's time for school" my mom said as she lightly shook me.

I groaned and put a pillow over my head, "I don't want to go to school"

"Come on, maybe you'll find your mate?"

She did have a point there so I threw the pillow at her and sat up, "fine I'll go but I'm not gonna be happy about it".

"Works for me" she said as she threw the pillow back at me and left my room.

I got up and proceeded to get ready for a long, pointless day at school. I showered, got dressed, did my hair and makeup in about an hour. I looked at myself in the mirror, admiring my look today. I had long, curly reddish hair with blonde that parted to the left. My skin was a pale white that made my blue eyes stand out. I was about 5'6 and a little lanky but I was much stronger then I appeared. I wore a light blue shirt and dark jean shorts with a pair of light blue converse.

I went downstairs and found my mother holding my backpack and bagel with cream cheese from Tim Hortons. I couldn't help but smile at her, she was pretty great.

"Thanks mom" I said taking the stuff from her and kissing her cheek.

"You're welcome sweetie, have a good day at school. Keep your eye out for that mate" she winked at me while I grabbed the car keys out of the bowl at the front door.

"Thanks mom, I love you"

"Love you too honey" with that I left and hopped into the car.

I had to pick up my two bestfriends, Carter and Eliza. They were twins, brother and sister. Carter was around 6'2 with dirty blonde hair that was always a perfect messy. He had dark blue eyes and a strong body. I used to have a huge crush on him when I was little but those feelings soon went away when I realized I would have a mate. Eliza was the same height as me and had the same colour hair as Carter. Her hair was extremely long and is pin straight without her doing anything to it. Her eyes were green with yellow surrounding the pupil.

I arrived at their house and drove into the driveway. They both raced out of the house yelling shotgun at the same time. Eliza got her hand on the door before Carter did so he excepted defeat and hopped into the back.

"So who's excited for senior year?!" Eliza was always happy and always looked at the bright side of things.

"You are the only one El, school sucks for the rest of us" Carter replied while tickling her from behind the seat.

"Yeah I agree with Carter on this one"

"But Tyler it's senior year! What if today is the day you find your mate?"

"If it is, I'll say school is fun. Just for the record, you only like school because you found your mate"

"Yeah but it's also fun to learn"

"Somebody please shut her up before I do" Carter said as he fake bashed his head into the window. I couldn't help but laugh at them, they were total opposites.
