Alpha Osiris by Naomi D

Lily’s pov

It’s always busy at the packhouse, but especially tonight. I am the fifth child out of six. My father Alpha Edward Burton has always wanted a big family and so did my mother, Luna Katherine. My parents decided after having two girls they really wanted a boy, but it took them 4 more tries. My thirteen year old brother Edward the Second, or Eddie as we call him will be the alpha of our pack one day. While we have to wait to find out mate. It feels really outdated that we can’t start our lives or careers before meeting our mate.

My parents always hoped that our mate will be a Beta or Alpha from another pack, like with my older sisters. I just hope whoever my mate is, he will be kind and get me out of this pack. I love my family, I do. But I am not like the others, my sisters are all gorgeous and smart. They honestly look like models. And I lack their elegance and good looks.

Maybe I am being too hard on myself, but it’s hard not to compare yourself. Especially in this family where winning is everything. Everyone needs to be the best in school, win every fight and look their best. And I am an average looking girl, with brown curls and big green eyes. I am not as skinny as my sisters or as tall and I don’t have their sleek blond hair. I don’t pay much attention to my looks, I usually just wear my hair in a braid or ponytail. Anything to keep the curls down. No-one in my family has curls except my grandmother. She was the only one that made me feel special, but sadly she passed away last year.

the rest. Tonight is one of those nights, the packhouse is full with three Alpha’s and their Beta’s who are looking for their mate. And I am stuck next to the most awful Alpha ever. It’s not his looks that are awful, but that look of arrogance and boredom on his face. He’s actually pretty good looking if you look passed that arrogance. I don’t even know his name, but I can tell he’s an Alpha by his strong commanding aura. He is tall, dark and handsome like my grandmother would say and he has a big scar across his forehead clipping his eyebrow. He looks like he can kill a man with one
