I wake up feeling super excited because today is a special day. I can’t believe today is my birthday and I finally turn 18. I quickly freshen up and walk downstairs to have breakfast. I walk downstairs to find mom making breakfast in the kitchen. I am sure she is making my favourite. Mom and I don’t live in the pack house. We are from the Dark moon pack.
“Good morning dear” Mom says once I walk into the kitchen
“Good morning mom” I say taking a seat on the kitchen stool
Mom is actually not my birth mother. My parents died after I was born so I know nothing about them. I still love her like I would love my real mother because she is the only parent I have.
“Are you excited to be turning 18 today” She says placing a plate of chocolate pancakes in front of me, my favourite.
“Thank you” I say for the breakfast “And of course I am excited to be turning 18, if we were humans I can finally leave your house so that you can’t control me anymore”
“Good thing we are not”
“Even if we were I could never leave you alone” I say pulling her in for a hug
“I love you too dear” She says hugging me. While releasing from our hug, a car horn is heard from outside and that would mean my ride is here. I quickly kiss mom goodbye and walk outside to meet my boyfriend.
“You didn’t even touch your breakfast” Mom says, as I am walking out
“I will be late, bye” I say before I walk out the door.
“Hello, Beautiful” Matt says once I step outside. He is standing outside, beside his car
“Hey, handsome” I say walking up to him. He pulls me in for a kiss once I get close to him.
“Happy birthday” He says and hands me a box
“Thank you and what did you get for me” I say, excited to see what he got. I open it to reveal a pair of diamond hoop earrings.
“Do you like them?”
“I love them, thank you” I say, pulling him in for a hug
“You are welcome”
I know dating as a werewolf is wrong but I don’t have a choice. Mom has forbidden be from accepting my mate when I meet him so I don’t have a choice but to have a relationship with a human. It’s the only chance I am allowed to get at happiness. I don’t know why mom believes I should be with a human rather than my mate. I have tried asking her but she has never given me a reasonable reason other than it’s the only way to keep me safe.
