Alpha Blake novel Chapter 1

Selene

"Selene...Selene, where are you?" The sound of my mother's voice brings me out of my trance. My mind had traveled away, back to my thirteenth birthday. Back to the day when our first shifting ceremony had taken place. 

I'd always been the kind to isolate myself away from everyone. I didn't like being in the company of others, especially in the presence of other girls. They all seemed to want to get close to me for one thing only...to get close to my twin brother Tyler, and his arrogant best friend, Blake Landon. Blake is the next in line to become the alpha of our pack. My brother Tyler, as he says, will become his beta. 

That day, I had gone out to walk by myself. I loved taking long walks through the forest, it's just so peaceful. The feel of the ruffle from the branches, the crinkle sound of the leaves crushing under my feet, the warmth of the sun on my skin, and the smell of the woods. Everything about the forest is just magical.

It must have been just a few minutes before my eyesight became blurry. Everything around me became dazed, and I began seeing color circles in the air. The pit of my stomach balled up in a painful knot, and I had a sharp-like stab in my chest. My body vastly lost its energy within. I could hear the voice of a woman echoing in the distance. I wasn't able to make out what she was saying, her voice faded away as I had struggled walking. It sounded as if she sang, or perhaps she chanted? Nevertheless, her voice sounded so sweet. I faintly remember how she looked from the small glimpse I saw of her; her beauty was indescribable, her physique like no other. She was a mere image of an angel.

Before long, everything around me went blank, and my body lost all of its energy. I was awakened at what seemed minutes later by my mother, Rebecca Slate, and our Luna, Christy Landon. Our Luna talked to my mother. They held a conversation among themselves and argued for a while about something, but I was so dazed, my mind could not process or comprehend what was happening. I couldn't make out what they were saying at all. My father picked me up since my body was felt so weak it was unwilling to respond. 

My eyes fluttered at a rapid pace on their own, as if they'd spasm. Before I knew it, I had passed out once more in his arms. That day, when I woke up, I had a loud ringing in my ear. I felt a huge painful throbbing headache that was stilling me from moving an inch without me feeling as if my head would explode. All I could do was lay there, wondering what it was that the mystery woman had said. Why was she calling for me? Who was she? What did she want from me?

My dad's name is Chansey Slate, he is Beta to our Alpha, Brock Landon. My father is married to Rebecca Slate, and I have a brother named Tyler, who is my twin. We look like complete opposites. I have dark brown hair, he is raven black, which I envy, to be honest. He's darker-skinned toned than I am. He's extremely well built, meaning he's super muscular for his age, since he is always working out! And I mean working out all the damn time, just like his arrogant best friend, Blake.

Luna Christy had asked to speak with me before the whole ceremony took place. I was hoping it had to do with that day when I had my first shifting, and why I kept passing out. The whole thing was just so weird. Every time I tried to ask my parents about it, they would just change the subject on me or act like they didn't hear me. But, ever since then, the same thing has happened to me again. Each year, days before my birthday... And I mean, literally, every freaking year, like a clock! 

I start feeling all weird, I get my energy drenched from my body, see things , hear things, and then…I just...pass out! I have no idea how I even make it back to my room, or who brings me. NOTHING! I remember nothing.

There are times when I don't even recall how I got to the damn forest.

Here is a fact; as a werewolf, everyone is so eager to find their mates on their eighteenth birthday, that even my damn wolf, Hazel is looking forward to it. But, all I want is answers! answers as to what is happening TO ME!
