Queen Berserker

My name is Lex, I'm a 25 year old werewolf with no mate, most werewolves find their mate within the first year of their full transformation or shift. Which would be fine except that usually happens at the age of sixteen. It may seem weird but I’m not really that worried about it, my wolf on the other hand is restless to find her fated mate.

My twin brother Alex found his mate on our seventeenth birthday. Alex is the complete opposite of me, he is over six feet tall, he is very toned, he has sandy hair and the most beautiful hazel eyes. His wolf is larger than the other wolves but not as large as an alphas, and he is brown. Whereas I am five seven in height somehow I’m stronger than the she wolves who have mates, all wolves are stronger than any human even the lower ranks.

I do however have a secret, one I keep even from my twin which I usually tell everything. I can sometimes make things happen, I can’t really explain it, but when I was younger, I started a fire, well I actually started a bunch of fires. I’m not sure how I did it, I also healed one of the pups who were injured in the woods. I have black hair with a tint of royal blue, and my eyes are a deep blue. My wolf is black and also with a blue tint, only she's as big as an alphas. When I shift I'm as big as my dad's wolf Rex, no one knows why, though I’m not even the next alpha for our pack.

She-wolves can’t be an alpha, if an alpha has no sons the daughter's mate will be the next alpha, which is typically a bata or another alphas younger son. Although rare, an Omega she-wolf can be mated to an alpha, an omega werewolf has never been mated into the higher positions. What I’m saying is a low rank she-wolf can become Luna, but a low rank male can not become alpha.

Alex is the next Alpha of our pack so he trains intensively, his wife is the best sister you could ask for, she’s the daughter of an alpha of a neighboring pack. She was sent to other packs to find her mate, our pack was the first she visited and it happened to be on our birthday.

Alex was in my room asking me to help him decide between a nice shirt and tie, or jeans and a T, when he started acting weird he walked out my room sniffing the air, me tailing behind him excitedly. She was in the hallway, with the same weird lovesick expression on her face, I expected him to be like ‘MINE’ or ‘MATE’ but all he said was ‘happy birthday to me’.

He walked right over to her and said, ‘I Alexander Darkmoon accept you as my future luna and mate.’ She started blushing and said "‘Do you think I can reject you while you’re shirtless and I’m drooling?’ Then she looked over at me, and back to him and I only noticed then that I was only in my undergarments, because Alex rudely barged into my room to ask me a stupid question. Tears began to appear in her eyes and she stepped back and asked ‘Did I interrupt something?’ My brother, the confused idiot, just stared at her like she was speaking a different language.

I had to give him the extra push. ‘I’m Lex, twin sister to your new mate, maybe you can help him decide shirt and tie or jeans and T to the party, that way I can get back to getting dressed in peace.’ She started laughing, picked the jeans then accepted my brother back.

My dad always put the pack first, except after my mother died I heard that he locked himself away from everyone, and that his wolf would go on a rampage, but I really don’t remember that time. I was very young and going through an emotional stage in life, things kept catching fire around me. Regardless of that dark period in our lives, I’d like to think my dad is an honorable man. Sometimes I’m relieved I don’t have a mate, my brother and I know the aftermath of losing a mate. When our mom died it hurt everyone, but it almost killed our dad too. The only thing that kept him going was raising us, and running his pack.
