"And that better be turned in by Wednesday!" We both giggled and covered our mouths as Tilda finished her impression of our history teacher, Mr Grounch.

"Hurry up with your tea now Tilda, you know mother said we have to be at the library by four. No later." She threw back her head and groaned in distaste.

"Must we really go Isla?"

"Of course we must otherwise mother will get cross and might give us a spanking."

"Aren't we way too old for a spanking?"

"Well mother sure doesn't think so." We both giggled into our napkins.

Tilda was my best friend. My only friend actually. Mother had forbidden me from having male friends in fear that I might catch feelings and not want the alpha anymore. She also only allowed me to have a single female friend at the age of ten. She told me I could only select a prim and proper girl with good manners. I knew Tilda was one. She was the only one mother would approve of.

Tilda was the only other person that used a fancy accent because her mother did. Her mother, Elizabeth was orphaned at a very young age when her parents and her were on a walk outside pack lands. Her parents were ambushed and killed but luckily she survived. She was found by humans and eventually adopted by a royal family in England. But when she turned sixteen and shifted for the first time, she was scared and confused and ran into the forest were she met her mate who brought her back to the pack.

Her human family however, had set out a full on search for her so after much deliberation, we had to do something never done before and let her tell the Royal family about us. This decision didn't sit well with were-council at first but eventually (after much trouble) they allowed it. So yes, the Royal family are the only humans allowed on pack lands.

As a result of all this, Tilda is basically a British Royal. I also seem to be one because mother makes me.

Tilda and I finished up our teas and headed for the library where we were to continue reading "The Duchess' dismay - volume 5" luckily, this was the last volume. It was quite a large book but mother made us read it anyway.

"Isla" Tilda called, looking up from her book.

"Mm" I hummed a response not wanting to breach my reading.

"You know the alpha is coming for training tomorrow right?" I snapped up my head from my book to look at Tilda. Of course I knew. I knew a week ago.

Mother wouldn't keep shut about it. She had made me a special mask to apply before bed for "my skin to glow". She also increased the dosage of my special medicine. She makes it herself and has been giving it to me since I was a child. She said it will strengthen my wolf because it's bound to be weaker than others since I have no mate.

"You know very well that I do" I leaned back in my chair and let out a long sigh.

"Sorry. I know your mother's obsession with you being luna."

"Yes. And tomorrow I finally get to meet the Alpha."
