Don't Curse Me With A Mate

"Some women fear the fire, some women simply become it."

It was a chilly night and Alessandra was out for a run. Thump, thump, thump, her heart was racing as her paws hit the ground in quick motions. Her gray fur shone in the moonlight as she pushed herself to go faster. She had to beat Kacy Falls at the next wolf race and she refused to lose to her again. Alessandra enjoyed competing in races but not as much as she loved winning. Granted her sister could participate too, but she was too busy preparing herself to be the new Luna of Blood Moon. That's right. Her fraternal twin sister Isabel was the next Luna of the pack and it was a unique situation. Isabel wasn't the mate of the Alpha but they're so madly in love it doesn't matter. The pack has learned to accept it because Isabel is of beta-blood, but the elders are still resistant. Alessandra does feel bad for Zane's mate though, what a terrible situation it will make for them.

ALESSANDRA ROMANO

Alessandra, get home now.

Coming mom.

I pushed myself to go faster as I made my home. Shifting behind a tree, I put on my gray sweatpants and white tank top before heading into my home.

The smell of my mother's cooking made its way to my nostrils as the door behind me closed with a loud thud.

"Are you trying to break my house!" my mother yelled from the kitchen.

"It was the wind!" I replied.

She's too dramatic.

"Go clean yourself up, your father is returning with the Alpha for dinner."

"Do I have to?"

"Yes, you have to! And please wear a formal outfit for once."

"Fine."

After a nice long shower, I changed my clothes, put on a nice dress, and curled my hair before heading downstairs for dinner.

"Papa!"

I ran to my dad and gave him a big hug. He had been away for pack business for nearly a week.

"There's mio tesoro."

Turning to the Alpha I bowed my head to show respect.

"Alpha."

"No need for that Alessandra, we're all family here."

"Yeah, Ally, we're all family here." said the pompous jerk who will soon be my brother-in-law.

Zane De Luca happens to be the love of my sister's life and my future Alpha. I've been dealing with him for as long as I can remember. He's my brother's best friend and my sister's boyfriend, but with me, it's a whole other story. We never get along and it makes no sense since he gets along perfectly with the other Romano siblings. 

Personally, I don't like him. He's way too handsome and his ego is bigger than Mount Everest. Not going to lie, Zane and Isabel always had this romance kindling in between them since we were little and I know he would die if he had to for my sister. I'm glad she has someone like him looking out for her. The girl has endured enough pain to last a lifetime.
