I am Alpha (Book 1 of I Am series)
Chapter 22

Cole P.O.V

“No, Alpha. I have no idea.” Trevor responded. It wasn’t really convincing, he was trying to hide a grin.

“You do know your very bad at lying, right?” I asked, with all seriousness.

“I have no idea what your talking about.” He said, chuckling.

“Seriously, why can’t anyone tell me what’s going on?” I asked raising my voice, I was getting really irritated.

“Alpha, with all do respect, it’s for your own good, you’ll find out later tonight.” Trevor said leaving the room, heading towards the kitchen.

I decided not to push it. And I let it slip for now.

Sam P.O.V

I woke up, in my comfy bed, tangled in the soft cotton sheets. I slowly crawled out of bed, but, me being the clumsy werewolf I am. My legs got even more tangled, in the sheets and I tripped and face planted, on the floor. With a loud bang.

I sighed, frustratedly trying to pull the sheets off, that were wrapped around my ankles. And threw them on the bed. Hannah barged into my room, worry clear on her face.

“Are you alright, I heard a bang.” She said.

Then Hannah realised what happened and started chuckling. “I’m fine.” I said, standing up.

“Happy birthday.” She squealed and hugged me, I returned the hug. And then we pulled back. “We made you a big breakfast, so I hope your hungry.” Hannah laughed.

“Thank you, and yes, I am starving.” I said running down the stairs. Hannah followed me.

I reached the dinning room, Leo and Jo were seated at the table waiting for me, but Cole was no where to be seen. I took a seat next to Jo, with Leo directly in front of me and Hannah took a seat across from Jo.

“Happy birthday.” Leo and Jo said.

“Thank you.” I said laughing.

And my curiosity got the better of me. “Where’s Cole?” I asked furrowing my eyebrows.

They all gave each other weird looks. “He went to...umm....to a friends place, he said he’ll be back later at the party.” Jo stuttered.

“Oh, okay. Now let’s eat, I’m starving.” I said grabbing fruit salad, waffles with maple syrup and a little bit of yoghurt. They all chuckled and started serving out their food.

After a while of comfortable silence. “I still don’t know what I’m going to wear to the party.” I said with a sad smile.

“Don’t worry, I got that sorted. But your not allowed to see it yet. It’s a surprise.” Hannah smirked.

“Oh, really, when did you get it?” I asked.

“That’s for me to know and you to figure out.” She laughed.

1 hour before the party:

I was sitting in my bedroom, on my phone going through photos, of dad and I. I heard a knock on my door. “Come in.” I said.

Jo came in and sat next to me on the edge of my bed. “Hey, I was just wondering if you wanted to start getting ready, for the party?” She asked smiling.

I looked up at her, from my phone. Tears started filling my eyes. “Oh sweetie, what’s wrong?” Jo asked, rubbing my back, soothingly.

“I always thought that dad, would be here, planning my eighteenth birthday party. Showing embarrassing baby photos of me and making lame dad jokes.” I said with the tears starting to run down my face soaking my cheeks. And I gave a little laugh at the last sentence.

“Oh honey, it’s alright.” Jo whispered, leaning over and giving me a hug.

I sat there with Jo, holding me for a few minutes. “Zaya’s downstairs waiting, for you.” Jo said softly.

“Thank you.” I said, standing up, wiping away the tears.

“You can talk to me when ever you need to, okay?” Jo said.

“Yeah, thank you, so much, for everything.” I said nodding my head, leaving the room and finding Zaya downstairs.

“Hey, you ready to party?” Zaya asked, when she seen me.

“Yeah.” I said, laughing.

“Hannah, I think it’s time we start on her makeup.” Zaya called out. Hannah rushed down the stairs, with three makeup bags.

“Alright, lets get started.” Hannah said excitedly.

Zaya pushes me back up the stairs towards my room. They pushed me into a chair. I sat, silently, as they did my makeup. And then, they started on my hair.

After they were finished, they let me look into my mirror sitting on the dressing table. I gasped when I saw my reflection. My long blonde hair cascaded down my back in loose curls, my makeup was light, but perfect.

“Thank you guys so much.” I said turning around, I went to hug them both, but they stepped away.

“Nu-uh, you’ll wreck it if we hug you.” Zaya said chuckling.

“Oh, fine.” I sighed.

That’s when I noticed, a black bag with a zipper on it, lying on my bed. Hannah walked over to it, picked it up and passed it to me.

“Now get dressed.” Hannah ordered, pointing to my bathroom. I nodded and took the bag, walking into my bathroom.

When I got inside I shut the door and unzipped the bag. There was a beautiful light lavender coloured, short dress, strapless, with white lace covering the top half and the bottom half with mesh that puffed out. I grabbed it out and put it on. It looked amazing on me, making my blue eyes stand out, it fit perfectly.

Once I had it on, I walked out of my bathroom. Zaya and Hannah had the brightest smiles on their faces. “Thank you sooo much, I love it. But, how’d you know my size.” I asked Hannah.

“Well you have an amazing best friend that helped me out.” Hannah said gesturing towards Zaya.

“Thank you, thank you, thank you.” I said excitedly.

“I love it.” I said, twirling around in my beautiful dress. “Oh, and you’ll need these.” Zaya said, passing me a pair of white high heels.

“Thank you.” I said putting them on, just like the dress they fit perfectly.

There was a soft knock on the door. “Come in.” I said. Jo entered the room, and she gasped when she seen me.

“You look beuatiful, are you ready?” She asked smiling.

I nodded, Hannah, Jo and Zaya all smiled at each other. I had a feeling, that they knew something that I didn’t.

“Okay, well come on.” Jo said, as they all exited my room. I stood there for a few seconds, took a deep breath and came down the stairs. I looked around the room and everyone was there, the whole pack. They were all watching me.

And then I saw him. Cole. He had a grey suit on, he slowly turned, we locked eyes. I stopped, half way down the stairs. I forgot to breath. My heart beat sped up, and I could hear his speed up too. Something twisted inside of me. It was different. Something was different. Normally, when I seen him, Leah would get jealous, about Cole being Alpha. But it isn’t like that right now, it’s different, unexplainably different. But why?

Our eyes widened in realisation. “Mate.” We said in unison.
