Chapter 1

Jasmin's POV

Waking up in the morning dreading another school day. I am in my last semester of high school just trying to make it out alive. It would also be nice to meet my mate. I have been praying to the Goddess above that my mate is from a different pack. I can't stand it here, and I don't want to.

After brushing my teeth and washing my face. I throw on my school uniform, a white button-down blouse with a peter pan collar, and a knee-length plaid navy pleated skirt with a matching tie. I finish up by adding my navy blazer with the school crests on the pocket. I hate this uniform too. It does nothing for my body type. That is both a blessing and a curse. A blessing because I will be a virgin when I meet my mate and a curse because he probably won't give me the time of day.

I like to stay as low-key as I can at school. Hoping that it will help make getting to graduation easier. I am not popular by any stretch of the imagination, but I do have friends. Payton and Paige are my friends. Payton is currently sexually ambiguous. He is one of those people that will not be labeled or categorized. It confuses me, but he is still my friend and I love him. His mate will have their hands full.

My other friend is his twin Paige and she's a savage. No other way to describe her. She always says what's on her mind and never allows anyone to run over her. They are paternal twins not identical, but both equally beautiful. Payton is 5'9 athletic build, very tone, and nicely cut. Paige is 5'8 and also has a very athletic build but she has soft curves. They share the same beautiful milk chocolate complexion and perfectly straight white teeth.

As soon as I get to class and take my seat next to Payton. Tabitha walks in and is immediately surrounded by the popular kids. Tabitha or Tabby as her group calls her, is almost perfect. Tall with long legs, beautiful porcelain skin, cornflower blue eyes, golden blonde hair that falls to her mid-back, and she is built like a Victoria's Secret model. Her attitude however is very ugly. No way she could ever actually be a Victoria's Secret model. She has no filter and has been known to pick fights with female pack members.

I don't think that kind of behavior is tolerated by Victoria's Secret. Most of the people that are not a part of her group avoid her like the plague. I am one of those people. No matter how many people complain, she has yet t get more than a verbal reprimand. They won't admit but it's because she is dating the Alpha's son.

The popular kids in our school are called the top crew simply because most of them are the kids of high-ranking pack members. They are also gorgeous all of them look like they stepped off some magazine cover or a runway in Milan. Then there's me. Every one of the top members is between 5'7 and 6'4, I am 5'3. Not a girl among them breaks 120 pounds, I am 150.

I don't think I'm fat at all. I love my body and all its curves. I take the time to appreciate it every night. I love my natural curly shoulder-length black hair, almond-shaped coffee brown eyes, caramel-colored skin, and even my stretch marks. I don't care that I am not considered traditionally beautiful, I love me. Besides I am hoping that my mate likes short soft curvy women.
