"Almost nineteen? That's odd. At least for a royal lycan, right?"

"Perhaps. I don't think a royal hasn't mated at eighteen in a few hundred years."

"Oh," I mumbled as he opened his car door for me.

I stared out the car window, something just nagging at the back of my mind. Something was off but I didn't know what. I turned to look at Liam who was fussing with the radio.

"Do you feel different at all?" I questioned.

"Different? How?"

"I don't know. Something's just not right. I don't know what, but there's something, and it's really bugging me."

"Well, I haven't noticed anything. Maybe it's those crazy dreams you've been having."

"Yeah, maybe." I turned back the window and stared at the other kids heading toward cars and buses as we pulled out of the parking lot.

One of the perks of being a lycan, is we didn't interact with the human world so there weren't a lot of us.

Our pack was the largest aside from the royal pack in Winter Pines. Moon Pearl was one of the original packs that descended from our great goddess Artesia.

According to our ancient recorded history, the Alpha's have been from the same family since the first Lycan's were introduced. The only other family that has maintained control all of these millennia's is the royal family.

The feeling of dread and unease didn't leave though.

It's probably because your birthday is in two days and you're being paranoid.

Liam, Summer, and I shared a birthday. It has been expected that he would mate with one of us.

Our father, Kendrick, has been the beta of the pack since his father died and it's expected that our younger brother will become the next beta.

It only seems fitting that one of his daughters would be mated to the next alpha, Liam. And everyone assumes that someone, would be me.

"So we're still on for Sunday?"

"Huh?" I looked over at Liam as he pulled into our driveway.

"The party? We're still doing it right?"

"Oh, yeah, of course. Your mom and my Mom have been planning for months. It's all they talk about."

"It is a big birthday for all of us."

"I suppose it is." I opened the door and climbed out. "Talk later?"

"Yeah." I waved goodbye and walked into the house. Servants and pack members bustled about as my mother shouted out orders.

She acted more like a Luna than the actual Luna. Liam's mother, Luna Celestine, was a very gentle and sweet woman. Nothing like the headstrong woman who had an iron grip on our house.

"Winnie! You're home! Where is your sister?" I kissed my mother on the cheek.

"Hi, mom. I don't know probably parked somewhere with Richard." My mother rolled her eyes and stormed off to another room. "I don't like him."

"Nobody does," I muttered, walking up to my room.

The weekend went by so quickly. And before I knew it, it was time to get ready for the big party. Our birthday parties were always late at night.

The moon was our goddess and the source of our power. Our celebration was not just a celebration of our life but also a thanks to goddess Artesia for the gift bestowed upon us.

I stood in front of my mirror staring at the icy blue dress my mother had made for me. It matched my eyes and went beautifully with my silver hair. The soft fabric hugged my every curve perfectly.

Summer's dress was exactly the same as mine but amber-colored to match her eyes.

"Hurry, girls! The guests are arriving. There's a big surprise for all three of you tonight!"
