Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself.

"You sure you want this?"

"Yes Alec, I'm sure" I said for the umpteenth time.

"I'm just being careful. What if you regret it after?" He sighed running his hand through his hair.

"I am 100% sure. I want this" I confirmed.

"It's going to hurt"

"I know it is but I'm a big girl" I rolled my eyes.

"Fine. If that's what you want." Alec grabbed my hand walking towards the tattoo parlour. I've always wanted a tattoo since I was a kid, and now I've plucked up the courage to finally get one. I wanted to get something meaningful and not just useless, so I decided to get a small feather tattooed on my left wrist. Feather's symbolised hope, balance and good luck. It's meaningful and pretty.

"This is it. Now's your chance to back out"

"I'm not backing out. I'm getting it" I sat down on the chair waiting for the tattoo artist to begin. The first ten minutes were painful but after that my wrist went numb and I couldn't feel a thing. Maybe it's because as a wolf I was born with high pain tolerance. But it was all worth it at the end. The tattoo was absolutely beautiful. A small feather decorated the right side, of my left wrist. Definitely worth it.

"We should do something"

"Depends what the something is" I mumbled back only interested in the movie on screen. Most of us teenagers were gathered in the screening room watching 22 jump Street. We were on the Dora part. Lord, this movie cracks me up.

"Shopping" Brittany squealed in a hush trying not to disturb the other people present. I leant back against the chair, my eyes still focused on the movie.

"What are you going to shop for?"

"You'll find out." Brittany stood up, dragging me up with her and out the door.

"Nooo. That was the best part" I whined trying to catch a glimpse of the screen but was too late as the door closed behind me.

"Stop whining and lets go." She lead the way to her car and I followed behind her.

"Have you got a license?" I asked. She's only seventeen, you're pretty lucky to get it before you turn eighteen.

"Yeah, I'm actually eighteen. I was held back a year in school which is why I study along with you." I nodded in understanding, sitting in the car. Within fifteen minutes we got to the local mall.

"We need to get some clothes and then shoes. Oh, and we need..." Brittany began listing off things which seemed unnecessary to me, but I didn't complain. She's the one paying. After a three hour shopping trip we stopped at a cafe, to grab something to eat before heading back home.

"There's a party tomorrow, to celebrate the birthday of a Pack member, turning eighteen." Brittany informed. There was always a party thrown for those who turned eighteen because that was the age they could find their other halves.

"Everyone's invited. Even the Alpha" She wiggled her eyebrows.

"Maybe, I could wear that dress we bought today" I subtly tried to change the topic. I knew it worked when Brittany started ranting about the perfect accessories that would go with it. I laughed at her response but it was cut short when a group of guys gathered around us.

"You mind if we sit here?" They looked around our age. Before we could answer, each guy grabbed a chair from a nearby table and sat next to us. There were around four of these roadmen.

"Yes, we do mind. Leave" Brittany said vexed. The guys just chuckled when one of them lifted his butt slightly off the chair to move closer to Brittany. Immediately I moved my hands underneath the table, using my powers to move the chair from underneath. Not having anything left under him, the guy fell straight to the floor, causing Brittany to laugh. She exaggerated the laugh and I just scoffed smirking.

"You find this funny" He yelled enraged catching the attention of nearby people. His other friends stood up, backing him up. They were humans, what's the worst they can do, call us sluts? 

"Very" I answered his question causing his gaze to snap towards me.

"Oh, she speaks" He said mockingly moving closer to me. Just when he was mere inches away another voice spoke up.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you" Turning my head towards the direction of the voice, I caught sight of a very familiar face. I looked back at Brittany who was now sat back in her seat, arms folded, smirking. She looks at me and winks.

"What are you going to do about it?" An idiotic boy yelled. He took a step forward trying to show bravery and courage. All I could see was stupidity.

"You wouldn't want to know" Chance growled not liking the disrespect. This was the first time I've ever seen Chance like this. He's always the one to find humour in everything.

"Stop trying to be a hero, it's four against one. It's obvious as to who's going to win" the guys laughed. If only they knew. Soon enough Chance began laughing along with them. Well, more like at them.

"You think it's four against one. It's four against two" as the words left his mouth another figure rounded the corner. Just looking at him made my heart beat accelerate. His retained aura screamed respect and authority.

Sensing danger the guys audibly gulped, backing away slowly. All except one. The one that fell on his backside, still held his position. I applaud his courage but want to laugh at the stupidity.

"Oh look, he called for back up" Chance merely rolled his eyes. They guy turned around facing me again. He took a few steps forward until his was stopped.

"I dare you" Alpha gritted, his fist clenched by his side. All ours heads snapped to the direction of the voice. Some in shock. Some in fear. His voice. Gosh, his voice was so deep and husky. So sexy. I had to hold back a shiver which fought for escape. The man gulped but takes another step forward not breaking eye contact with the Alpha. Wrong move, boy. You just disrespected an Alpha.

The next events were a complete blur. The boy was laying on the floor across the Cafe, with probably many broken bones, while Chance led us out the door.

"You guys okay?" Chance asked looking between Brittany and I.

"We're fine. But how did you guys know we're here?" I asked confused. The Alpha was long gone, waiting in his car.

"I called them through mind link." Brittany explained getting over the shock of hearing the Alpha talk for the very first time. "The Alpha looks super pissed, maybe you should ride him. Oops, I mean ride with him. You know, to the Pack house." Brittany smirked while I glared. Chance scoffed awkwardly but agreed with Brittany.

"You can't force me to go. I don't want to" Brittany pushed me one last time before I hit the passenger seat door. I turned around to tell her off, but she was long gone. Plucking some courage, I extend my hand and pull open the door, slowly getting in. Instantly I was punched in the nose with the Alpha's scent.

He just sat there staring at me. His eyes were still bright red and his knuckles had turned white, from clutching the wheel too hard.

"Chance wanted to ride with Brittany so asked me to ride with you" I explained not making eye contact. Alpha sat there staring at me for another minute before starting the engine.

"Could you please slow down?" I asked clutching onto the sides of my seat, hoping not to fall. The seat belt won't help with anything.

"Alpha, please" I begged as he overtook another car, missing a cyclist by centimetres. He growled speeding up. Thankfully just as we approached the lights, they converted to red. I let out a sigh of relief and turned towards the Alpha to see him fidgeting in his seat. Catching me looking, he instantly stops. Not being to help it, I dart out my tongue licking my lips. His eyes follow my movement. He began fidgeting again, starting to drive as the lights change.This time he drove slower, taking his time.

I realised why the Alphas was speeding. It was because we were in an enclosed space. Meaning my scent was overwhelming his wolf making him lose control.

Looking out the window I feel a tug on my wrist. Looking back I see the Alpha looking down at my bandaged wrist, with furrowed eyebrows.

"I got a tattoo" I answer his un-asked question. He looks back towards the road. A few minutes later, his hand stretches towards mine and lifts up my left hand, bring it to his lips. He slowly kisses the bandaged area. He whispered something against my arm, probably in hope that I don't hear, but I did.

"Mine"
