*Abigail's POV*
The light coming through my window is the first thing I notice as I open my eyes. It is bright, and it hurts my eyes. My head is buzzing as I raise my head, something is different. Very different. Slowly I sit up, did I have too much to drink last night? No, I don’t drink like that... wait a second... I still have my dress on from last night. My shoes were thrown haphazardly against the wall. How did I even get back to my room?
I look at my hands, they feel... different? They tingle with a weird sensation, and as I open and close my hands, I feel a strange sense of power. Just... what happened? Slowly I slid out of the bed, my bare feet touching the cold wood floor, my dress seemed smaller than yesterday. Tight around my chest, and shorter on my thighs. If I bent down, I’m sure my goodies would be displayed to the world.
It was just then I could feel everything. The pack link seemed to explode around me, they are worried for the alpha? Wait a second... that’s right! My brother’s ascension ceremony was last night! So why don’t I remember anything?
Stumbling to the mirror I almost didn’t recognize myself! Was I taller??? Did my chest get bigger??? What is going on?! My dull auburn hair is shining, and longer as well! The unruly curls turned into a wave that reached low on my back. My bluish green eyes seemed to dance, and the amber eyes of my wolf started to glow in my iris. I feel stronger, my aura feels stronger, and I gasp as I remembered everything from yesterday.
~Flashback~
“How do I look?” I ask my best friend as I twirl in front of her. Angie was the gamma’s only child, and we have been besties since we could walk.
“Uh, look Abby, it looks great but... peach colored? Again?” She frowned. “It really clashes with your hair and skin tone.”
“I know but its Mason’s favorite color on me.” I pouted as I fought with my hair again, the unruly curls already creeping back up. She scoffed and grabbed my hair straightener. “You will understand when you finally turn 18 and find your mate.” I smiled, fixing my makeup.
She only rolled her eyes. “You know, ever since you two found each other you have started to change. I understand you have training now to be the Second Beta but don’t lose yourself.” She frowned. “You’re the alpha’s daughter for Goddess’ sake. You are supposed to be a leader, but ever since you hooked up with him all I see you do is say ‘Mason this’ or ‘Mason that.” She sighed and looked at me through the reflection of the mirror. “It feels like I’m losing my best friend.”
“Oh, you’re not losing me. I’m still the same pain in the ass I have always been.” I gave her a small smile. “Just because I found my mate and he is going to ascend to the Beta post doesn’t mean I’m going to forget about you. I just have a lot to learn. He has had his whole life to prepare to be Beta while I have only had months! My parents always thought I would end up being mated to another alpha. Luna training is so different than Second Beta. Its more thought out.”
“Ugh. At least you get to train for a titled job.” Angie pouted. “It doesn’t matter that I am the Gamma’s only child, it's like I don’t even matter.”
“Of course, you matter.” I scolded her. “You would make a great Gamma. You’re the most organized person I have ever met, not to mention more than half of our training class is absolutely terrified of being paired up with you during training.” I chuckled. “Even my brother hesitates when fighting you.”
“That doesn’t matter though.” She sighed. “But. Let’s not talk about my sucky life! Let’s go back to you and this hideous color!” She giggled. “So, is Mason going to pick you up here or are we meeting him downstairs?”
“You know, I texted him earlier and he hasn’t replied. That isn’t like him....”
“Oh, he is probably just busy getting ready. You know he is ascending as soon as Wyatt becomes Alpha, probably a lot to do.”
A knock on the door startled us and I grin as I nearly run to it! Mason came for me! Wait.... “Hi Daddy!” I smiled, trying to hide the disappointment.
“Hi Alpha Abraham.” Angie smiled, before bowing her head slightly.
