Lovers and Mates (en Inglés) - Christine Mayfield

Amara Knight is a young pack member of the Silver Moon Pack and best friend to the alpha's baby sister Kaden Black. After her parents death, she had to look after her little brother Niklaus, with the overwhelming responsibility of protecting the only family she has left. As her 19th birthday nears, she grows more wary of attending the mating bonfire that could be ever life-changing. A ceremony that could rip her apart from the only family she has ever known, her pack, but will fate have different plans? or will she forge her own?

I walk down the long and intimidating hall towards the Alpha's office. Chills run down my spine as my hands run cold. The Luna grips my shoulders tenderly as she smiles down at my small frame. I look up at her in fear "Am I in trouble? I swear I didn't do anything."

"No sweetie you're not in trouble. The alpha and I just wanna chat with you" She smiles sadly rubbing my shoulders.

"Is it about my mommy and daddy?" I follow up with a knot in the pit of my stomach.

"Yes" She frowns as she swings the doors open.

"WAKE YOUR SUNNY ASS UP!!!" I could hear the annoying voice belonging to my best friend screaming above me. I groaned irritably muffling her screaming with a pillow covering my face.

"Go away Liz" I mumbled sinking deeper into my bed covers and she sighed dramatically.

"Oh shush you big Grinch and get up. Your birthday is officially one week away. So we gotta start prepping you" She smiles happily as she cuddles me in excitement.

"Don't remind me. I got about ten millions things to do and finding my mate is not in my top ten priorities" I rolled my eyes while pulling the covers off of me pushing Liz along with it.

"Rude. But I don't care. I love you regardless. Now get up we're going shopping" She encouraged with a wink and I rolled my eyes for a second time.

" You are going shopping. I am going to work" I rephrased grabbing my uniform and changing as she groans in protest.

"What? Nooooo. You worked yesterday" She whines sitting down on the edge of my bed.

"That's sort of the point of working Izzie. You do it everyday" I sassed as she pouted at me.

"Sounds like hell" She grumbled laying down and staring at the ceiling.

"Sure feels like it too I can tell ya" I chuckled as she grinned at me.

"So you're saying that working for my brother isn't heaven? I am in utter shock" She sassed as I chuckled in return.

" I don't work for your brother. I work for the kitchen staff in the alpha mansion" I clarify. "the staff that works for my brother" She reminds me and I smiled at her proudly.
