Chapter one-- we meet again

Gathering my hunting tools, I maneuver my way through my sister’s mess. Searching through a giant pile of dirty clothes I find my final arrow. AH HA! Relieved that I found my arrow I hadn’t notice the guards in the room glaring at me. Rolling my eyes, I place the arrow along with the others. Checking my thigh, I felt my knife, on my back my arrows, in my left boot another knife, and on my belt there was a small holder for a sword that I am longing to get. Everything seems to be in place. I smile astonished, everything is set. Time to go get money while doing the thing I LOVE.

 

“I’ve never seen a female so happy to go kill people,” one of the guards whispered, but I heard it loud and clear.

 

“What was that,” I asked testing to see what he does. Does he not see my weapons, does he not know how skillfully I can use them. The guard’s eyes became aware and frightened like a little kid on Halloween. Ever since I’ve gotten a letter informing me that 4 others and I would be hunting animals for 100£, I’ve been in a happy mood, it was a very sudden change in my mood so everyone is thinking I’ve gone mad. Who wouldn’t, I’m a shy girl, one who keeps quiet. I use my bow and arrow to let my anger out, rather than yelling at someone for no reason. My mother use to admire how I would be vigorous with a weapon, and so tender with words. I miss her, my mother, I miss her kind words, her words of wisdom. When I young about the age of 8 my village was attacked by northerners, and she was caught and killed. I swore to myself that one day I would never hurt someone innocent, like the man killed my innocent mother. My father couldn’t bare to see my mother die, and he died along with her begging a northerner to kill him, the northerner didn’t have the heart to say ‘no’ a unfamiliar word in their dictionary. I was the age 8, while my sister was the age 11, yet I had been more mature than her. I still am today. A voice pulled me away from my reminiscing of the pass.

 

“Ma’am we have to leave so stop daydreaming and come,” the guard yelled. I arched an eye brow at him and ventured my way through the pig sty, and what my sister calls a room. The two guards started to leave without me but I soon fell into step with them. After what was 10 silent minutes of walking we stopped at the castle. What are we doing at the castle? Soon enough I heard a trumpet, then footsteps gathering around me. I slightly yawn, this isn’t exciting to me. I’ve meet the Alpha before, we were 9 right after my parent’s passed away, me being my foolish-self thought he was a regular noblemen. During my 11th birthday the Alpha himself came over to pick him up and I learnt the truth, I never forgive him because we never see each other. I don’t believe I want to he lied to me for 2 years. He didn’t even give me any hint bombs.

 

“I’ll like to present the Alpha himself to give you the message,” said the trumpet player, and then he continued, “Here is Alpha Aiden.” A few steps behind the trumpet player Alpha Aiden stood then he came forward.

 

“I’ve selected one of your neighbor’s daughter to be my bride,” he announced and I scuffed. Adverting my eyes I played with the knife I took out of my boot. Then something unusual happened.

 

“Dakota, come hither,” the alluring Alpha Aiden said. My eyes shot up and I stared at him, I became a rebel at the moment forgetting my shy status, and shook my head no. Once I did that the two guards beside me gripped my arms and started to pull me towards him. Me, being my very skillful self, dropped my knife and one of the guards let go to pick it up so I took advantage and kicked him so he was lying flat then turned to the other guard and twisted his arms around to his back unpleasantly, and threw him to the ground. Walking over to the first guard I picked up my knife, as if I would leave it. I stole a glance at Aiden and smiled.

 

“I think I’ll be going home then,” I retorted in my small voice, but the message was loud and clear. I began to walk, and then heard footsteps quicker than mine. Within a second Alpha Aiden was grabbing my wrist stopping me from moving any farther.

 

“Dakota, please,” he asked flashing one of the smiles I fell in love with when I was younger. Darn him, I thought to myself. My inner self chuckled at my foolishness, there is no way someone in such high rank could ever love you. He removed his hand from my wrist and causing me noticed how hot it became until it left, now I felt cold. Nope. No. He isn’t my mate. It is just a coincidence, plus my wolf doesn’t response to him like I do.

 

 I kind’ve like him though, my wolf tells me happily. I scuff after she said that, then gave him a slight smile. Completely oblivious to my surroundings I didn’t notice the guard who was tugging at my foot, so I lost balance and fell onto the ground. I groan in pain, and exhaustion. Why me? Is all I ask? Pushing myself up from the ground I got up and dusted off my sweater of the gravel and dirt. I felt Aiden’s hand reach mine and pull me through the crowd into the forest alone. If I wasn’t trying to figure out where we were going I would’ve been more knowing about of how warm my body felt with him holding my hand.

 

“Where we going,” I asked for the 10th time in a minute, and once again the answer was silence. Can he really expect me to go into the forest without explanation? He finally stopped and we were standing by the tree where I first meet him.

 

“See, you could’ve just told me where we were going,” I stated and leaned against our tree. . His arms locked me in a cage, hands on both sides of my head. He leaned forward close to me, then teased me by talking.

 

“Why ruin the surprise.” Before I could ask him anything, his lips crashed onto mine. I wanted to stop but inside I was screaming in joy. Disappointing myself I pull away, and just smile, a fake smile.

 

“You know I was really looking forward to the hunting, but of course it was just a trick of yours,” I stated to him, taking out my dagger again and began to play with it, twirling it between my fingers. Once he saw my knife he backed up a little, and I don’t blame him. Looking down at my fingers swiftly moving along with the dagger, I notice my birthmark. I’ve always known it was there but I never thought too much of it. The dark black half moon looks like a tattoo contrasting to my tan skin. I stop playing with my dagger and just stare at my birthmark, why can’t I figure out what it means. I try to tear my eyes off of it but I just can’t so I stare at it absently.

 

“Earth to Dakota,” Aiden said bringing my glaze up from my birthmark to his face. I ducked my head and walked under his arm, then kept walking. I understand why I never look at it, because it brings the sadness out of me, because my mother had the same birthmark. I’m 19 for goodness sakes shouldn’t I know what it means by now?

 

“I’ll see you tomorrow,” I asked the confused Aiden, and then he nodded.

 

 Once I got home I searched for my sister and found her in her room digging through her closet. I lightly tap her shoulder to get her attention.

 

“I DIDN’T LOSE IT,” she screams turning to me, and I stood there dumbfounded. On no, what did she lose.

 

“You didn’t lose what Daniela,” I asked calmly, but facial expression far off from claim. She started to freak out and then burst into tears. Oh no, I thought again, she lost something important.

 

“Mom…mom’s… locket… she gave...g-gave… you…” I stare at her heartbroken, she couldn’t have lost it.

 

“Where did you last put it,” I asked leading her out of the huge mess.

 

“THE KITCHEN,” she yelled then ran to the kitchen and I followed. We both started to look everywhere, then I heard a knock on the door. I move over to the living room searching the couch when I heard the knock again.

 

“COME IN DAMN IT.” I continued searching in the couch, then fell to the floor and groan. I look over the living room and notice the giant mess. In the doorway Aiden stood there completely confused. I let out a nervous laugh and pop up from the floor neatly putting the couch together. I walk over to him blocking the view.

 

“Hello,” I said shyly. My sister ran into the room with her hair messy and was looking all over franticly, like how I was when they came in.

 

“Bad timing,” Aiden laughed and then saw my eyes, then realized why I was searching all over.

 

“Defiantly, so if you don’t mind, I need to go back to franticly searching and tearing down the house.” I ran back over to the couch and plopped onto the floor forgetting their there. Lying flat on my stomach I reach under the couch and glared. Where oh where can my favorite locket be. I felt something poke myself and I giggle. Damn, this thing got my ticklish spot. My eyes widen as it becomes familiar. Aiden. I push myself up from the floor and quickly walk into my room, my very neat room in comparison of my sister’s. I walk over to my night stand and kneel next to it rushing through each draw. Not here, I thought sadly. I get up with Aiden at my heels until I see a very scared Daniela. She was looking at her bag then to me then back to her bag. In her other hand was mother’s locket. OH THAT LORD, I screamed in my head.

 

“Well um, it was in my bag the whole time,” she admitted slyly.

 

“I’M GOING TO KILL YOU!” I was about to take my locket when an arm snaked around my waist and pulled me back. I instantly clam down from his touch and glare at my sister, shaking she handed me the locket I was originally going to get. In my hand I scan over it to see if anything was wrong, and when noticing was I felt relief all over me, and leaned back into Aiden’s hard chest. I look over at my sister standing in awe at Alpha Aiden. I understood why she was so surprised, but she’s lucky he was here to stop me from going berserk.

 

“I’m here because my parents want to meet you, again,” Aiden told me then exhaled against my skin. I nervously sighed and broke free of his embrace. After I felt the cold take over, so I took Aiden’s hand to warm me up again. He’ll be my own fireplace. It was winter in Alaska, who wouldn’t want a walking fireplace with them. In this village werewolves aren’t affected as much but it still has an impact on us. Walking into the castle I look towards the guards from earlier and laugh. Their eyes widen and hide behind the
