3.

After breakfast I went to the training grounds so I could train before the pack got there. For some reason I hate training in front of them. I guess I'm just scared that Kayla will get upset and hurt someone.

As I get to the grounds I see my best friend Ariane arguing with Ryan, Aiden' best friend. Those two have never gotten along no matter what was going on.

If they were in the same room they would be at each other's throats in seconds.

Ariane is the daughter of Livia who is like my moms assistant but also her friend?

I don't know how this came to be because they only started being around each other after Livia challenged my mom for the title of Queen.

Strange way to become friends let me tell you.

Ryan is the son of Adaline and Reginald the packs Beta and Beta Female. He always finds a way to pick on Ariane ever since we were little.

Aiden and I have a bet going that when Ariane turns eighteen, which happens to be the night of the Ball in three days, they will find out they are mates.

Aiden thinks I'm insane. Whoever wins gets to have the other twin be their servant for a week so I'm looking forward to it.

"What are you two arguing about now? Seriously is it so hard to get along for five minutes?" Ariane and Ryan both snap their necks to me and roll their eyes at me.

"If Ryan would mind his own business for once we wouldn't be having this argument!" I turn my head to Ryan and see a smirk dancing across his lips.

"Oh sure. I'm the bad guy. I just think that if you are gonna wear that dress to the Ball, people are gonna stare and you should know your mate won't be very happy. You know how wolves can be... Just trying to help ya out."

"Ugh you are so irritating! Why don't you go run into the woods and get attacked by Rouges! At least then I could get some peace and quiet!"

"No way Ariane, you would miss me too much. Admit it. You love me."

"Not in a million years!" It's my turn to roll my eyes.

"If you two don't mind... I came here to train but since you won't stop arguing I guess I will have to come back later. Ariane just so you know, I'm sure your mate will love your dress. Now if you will excuse me."

I turn on my heel and walk toward the tree line. I find a good spot to shift and hide my clothes inside a tree. I let Kayla come forward and immediately shift into my wolf.

Every sense heightens as I begin to run,

weaving in and out of trees and jumping over fallen logs. I come across a few deers and a couple rabbits as I race by.

When I make it to our boarder I stop and walk to the left toward the river. I lay down and rest by the waters edge feeling peaceful and carefree.

That is until I smell the most amazing scent I have ever smelled before.

Go find the source of that scent! If you

won't, I will!

Okay I'm going! Jeez you are so impatient!

I get up and sniff the air, trying to find which direction the scent came from. Heading back towards the boarder the scent gets stronger and stronger.
