Lithium
--~Intro~--
How would you imagine your life… if rules controlled it, make everything change, on one birthday, just because of who you are? Or how about falling in love when you’re not supposed too. And one of your so called ‘friends’ is a backstabber, she manipulated you, for herself.
--~*~--
My phone alarm went off at 5 am. I sat up and rubbed my head probably making my already bad bed-head worse. I then put my fluffy wolfy slippers that I got for Christmas last year.
I managed to drag myself downstairs and eat an entire bowl of cereal. My wedding planner said I was getting some love handles on my sides. So now I eat '3' meals a day ... more like 5 or 6. By the time I got upstairs I was wide awake and school didn't start for another hour or so. I closed my door behind me and sat down on my brown colored couch that was facing my French doors leading to the balcony.
I stared out the balcony for so long I jumped when I heard a gentle rap at my door. Laila let herself in, her bleach blonde hair trailing behind her, baby blue eyes smiling like the sun them self. "Hey, enjoy your Lucky Charms Lith?" She laughed a little then came and sat down next to me. I punched her playfully in the arm. "Jerk," She knew everything there is to know about me. Like that I twist my hair around my thumb went I'm embarrassed, or that when I'm mad my left foot twitches ... or that I'm sneaking food.
The giant mansion of 23 bed/bath etc. rooms seemed too big for this family of 4. My sister, mom and dad and me. Although our maids practically live here they sleep at their own houses.
When I turned my head to look at the portrait of me I got done in Italy, Laila began to brush my jet black, belly-button lengthed hair. "Can I do a French braid starting at the middle of your head then wrap it around but stop braiding half way?" I laughed at her descriptive question. She was 17 and a half, the center of attention with the boys and teachers. We were twins ... age wise. We had very little in common she was the elegant, beautiful Blondie. I was the spunky, partier, black hair and electric blue eyes.
"Hum... how about a micro (little) French braid starting in the front and going to the back to a side ponytail?"
"Sure," Laila bit her lip like she does when she’s thinking. "You're going to be Alpha,"
"You're going to be Lieutenant!" I said accusingly. "Don't say it like I get everything and you get nothing, OW! Don't pull so hard."
Some people might call us werewolves, or "puny half-breeds!” I just call us 'human wolves' ... nothing insulting or taken from movies. Cause it is what we are, right?
My dad’s the Grand Alpha... the head master of all packs. This in our group was 3, and still be when I get my own. The 3 packs already are Darkened Souls, Darkened Guilt and Darkened Secrets. I still had no idea what I wanted to name my pack but, altogether Darkened Souls and Darkened Guilt and Darkened Secrets and whatever my packs is, is all under the control of dad - called Heavens Demons.
"What should my pack name be? Darkened Moon sounds to ... movie like err something." Laila finished brushing my ponytail and I turned to look at her. "Cute. How about ..." She squinted and bit the inside of her cheek. She raised a finger. "Aha! I got it! Darkened Light!" She and I high-fived, I tapped her on the head with my finger. "Someone has smarticles," I got up and walked to my room inside of a room - my closet. I got my uniform which consisted of a black and white plaid skirt, a either black or white blouse and a black and white plaid tie.
I got dressed with a black blouse, and the whole getup. Laila left and came back dressed. Her light grey eye shadow on the top and a blue to match her eyes made her seem like a model. I applied a white top layer and a dark grey on the inside. "You're so pretty Lithium, I'm jealous." I went directly to her side. "But, you’re the thing that pageant judges would die for." She smiled. "Yea, I guess so Lith,"
--~*~--
After I ate my 1st (2nd) breakfast, Laila and I hopped in our old corvette and drove to school with the music blaring and the top down. We got out and separated to our group of friends. Just to clarify there are more human wolves than my family. My pack consist of my friends that I’ve known forever and trust and care about... that are also human wolves.
First off as Co-Alpha there's Bryn. Tall and lean, beautiful black, silky hair and pastel green eyes.
Laila would go here then after her the lead fighter Victoria. Small and graceful, black hair with red highlights and black orbs.
Then the others ... just part of the pack. Meaning when it gets going they will be assigned their positions. Lillie, grey eyes, black hair. Rayne, black eyes and hair with a brown undertone. Rhylinn with golden eyes, and short pixie cut hair, that's also black.
That made up the whole pack of Darkened Light.
Now, the one I will be marrying of course has all the ladies going for him. Even when they know that, I,*ehem*, we, will be married in about 2 months... Enter the stage - Erik!
(Taken from a past girlfriend)
"Oh-em-gee he’s just like so ... mysterious, oh! And his green eyes... they aren't pastel or worn out ... they're like ... trees. Like -friggin-forest-trees!"
...Thanks Lithium for dragging on and on about your friends life stories and such ... now back to your book.

I met up with my friends and called a meeting. My dad pays the school giant grants so the school owes him. I can take my friends out of class if I want and we head to a staff meeting-room.
We sat down in the meeting-room. Me on one end of the table and Bryn on the other. Victoria stood. "Meeting is now in session," then sat down. I combed my side swept bangs with my fingers out of a habit. "Thank you Tori, anyway we have less than 2 weeks before the wedding. Also known as the 'merge' of my not-yet-created pack and Darkened Souls." Lillie raised her hand and pushed a piece of hair behind her pierced ear. "Lith, have you decided on a name with Bryn yet?" I spoke to Bryn on the phone, on my way here. I answered smirking just a tiny bit and Bryn and she smiled devilishly back. I nodded my head at her, wordlessly telling her to break the news. "Lithium and I would like to happily announce our pack name ... Darkened Light. Does anyone appose or have a suggestion, idea?" When no one moved she continued.
"This is not a 100% moving train yet, during Noel, Lith's birthday, she will need to discuss pack rules and 'terms of agreement' with Erik. So now ... we just call ourselves Darkened Light."
"I would also like to give credit to out Lieutenant, Laila, or also known as my little sister."
She stood up and said thank you then sat back down. Right after that Darkened Souls walked in and took their seats. Bryn moved to sit diagonally across from me. Erik now sat across from me, smirking at me. Victoria once again stood up and said. "Meeting is now in session, both packs are here, Darkened Souls and Darkened Light. Packs performing the 'merge and marriage of our 2 alphas. Lithium Destinee Harper Alexander and Erik Dan Hutford. Darkened Souls may begin.” She sat down. The room was silent until Erik’s seductive voice called over the room. “Darkened Light? You decided without me?” He questioned. “No, it’s what my pack and I decided for a temporary name Erik, don’t be so quick to judge sweetie, you’d underestimate me our whole lives if you did.” The others, including his, hissed at my snide comment. He took a deep breath, “Okay, moving on… deciding positions in the pack will be decided by testing, which is this Saturday. We also need to mark our border with Perfected Secrets, they’re testing it. That’s all,” Perfected Secrets was Grand Alpha name (so like Heaven’s Demons for us) our enemy. Riley, Erik’s Co-alpha raised his hand and whispered something to Erik. “Lesser ones are dismissed,” Lesser ones are everyone that isn’t Alpha or Co-alpha. When everyone left Erik stood up and leaned on the table, showing his defined muscles built up. Bryn and I didn’t move.
“Now… when will a child come into the picture Lithium?”
“Never, unless it’s necessary.”
“You’re supposed to be in love with me Lith!”
“I’m not one of those skanks!” I crossed my leg and Bryn kicked my left leg on purpose to let me know it was twitching. “Erik, I’m not in love with you, I’m doing this to make my parents happy.”
“Didn’t your parents ask you if it was okay if you married me before they arranged your marriage?”
When you’re the Grand Alpha’s offspring you must be married at the age of 18. Since it was too late for me to find love, I got and arranged marriage, with Erik.
“No, did yours?”
He nodded, and I waved the others off. I put my head in my hands and he walked over and massaged my back in little circles. I wasn’t crying, just stressed. Normally if my pack or his were here I would shoo him off me, but right now I just ignored him and acted as if he were just my friend. I looked at him and said 3 words.
“I hate you,”
