Their Christmas Gift Novel – Hearing the Buzz of my alarm, I can’t help but jump out of bed, excitement coursing through me. One more sleep….. I think to myself. Grabbing my fluffy pink, dressing gown, rushing down the stairs, and into the kitchen, quickly taking my seat at the table. Mum places a plate of pancakes in front of me and sighs as she watches me drown them in maple syrup.
” Ariah, that is enough, sweetheart. You know too much sugar makes you hyper.” Mum says as she turns to continue cooking. ” Sorry, Mumma, I got distracted, I can’t stop thinking about tomorrow’s ball. I can’t believe I’m finally old enough to go!”
I belong to the White Moon pack, and every year, we hold a Christmas ball for all members who are of age. I turned eighteen last week, and that means I am finally old enough to go. My best friends Kate and Sarah and I have been planning for the ball for so long, our dresses having been chosen months ago.
As luck would have it, Kate and Sarah are fated mates, which made them going to the ball together an easy choice. Me, on the other hand, having only just turned eighteen, I am yet to find my mate, so I’m going to the ball with one of my older brothers’ friends. My brother, Aiden, found his mate at last years ball and has been a love sick puppy ever since.
He organised for his friend, Alex, to accompany me to the ball as he is also yet to find his mate. Finishing my pancakes in record time, I blow mum a kiss and run back upstairs to get ready to meet my friends. We are meeting at the local salon, so we can get our nails done for tomorrow.
