Chapter One

"KATE!" an angry voice yelled to its daughter. "GET OVER HERE!"

"Uh-oh!" a young tan wolf pup named Kate said to herself. Kate and her sister Lilly had been playing around like young pups do all morning. For some reason or another, Kate's mother, Eve, was very aggravated. Kate could only hope that it was not what she thought it was…

"Is that Mom?" Lilly asked. Lilly was a shy, white wolf pup with lavender eyes. She was nearly the opposite of her sister Kate, the fun, outgoing, and somewhat bubbly one.

Kate gulped. "Yes," she started, "yes it is! I didn't think it was a good idea."

"But you said it would be fun!" Lilly protested.

"I never said it was a good idea, though," Kate replied. Then she mischievously whispered to Lilly, "Let's go see what 'the beast' wants!"

Lilly laughed at this. Her mother was quite "beastly" when she was angered. Everyone in the entire pack, the Western Pack of Jasper Park, Canada that is, knew that Eve had severe temper tantrum issues.

Kate's mother was named Eve and her father was named Winston. Eve and Winston were both the leaders of the Western Pack and they had two daughters separated by a few months in age: Kate, the older one, and Lilly, the younger one. Neither Kate nor Lilly had been classified in the pack's social classes of alphas and omegas because they were too young. When they were older, however, they would have the opportunity to take the Alpha School Administration Test (ASAT. Remember that one?).

The only way for a wolf to become an alpha was by passing both the test and the following single semester of Alpha School. Wolves had three chances to pass the test and while it was required to take the test in order to get into Alpha School it was not required if a wolf wished to be an omega in the pack. There were rules that went with this social division. The main one was that alphas and omegas could not engage in any type of romantic activity whatsoever. In addition to this, alphas had more privileges and more responsibilities while omegas pretty much did whatever they wanted and had to simply keep the peace in the pack through jokes and fun.

Kate walked up to her parents' den where she found her mother waiting outside with an angry glare on her face. Kate sat down and asked her Mom, "Did you need me?"

"Yes, I did," Eve growled. "Did you in and around the herds of caribou again?"

"Um, yes. I did," Kate admitted.

"And did you lead Lilly into it as well?"

"Yes," Kate sighed. She knew that she was in DEEP trouble.

"I told you last week that that was a very dangerous and irresponsible thing to do! And I said that if you did it again, I'd UNLEASH ALL THE WRATHS OF LIVING NATURE ON YOUR…" Eve realized she was using language that was way too strong for her daughter to hear from her. She took a breath and used a much nicer voice to finish. "I mean, that I would have to punish you in some way. Did I not say that?"

"Yes ma'am, you did," Kate hung her head down in shame.

"Okay then. You're not going to play with your friends today."

"But Mom! We've been planning this for a week! We were going to have a sleepover before the next ASAT gets too close!"

"Hmmm… Maybe you should've thought about that BEFORE YOU ENDANGERED YOUR FOUR MONTH OLD LIFE!" Eve realized she had just lost it again. "I mean, before you played around the dangerous caribou." Eve smiled at her daughter who rolled her eyes in response. "Oh baby, I'm sorry, I just want you to realize that caribou are dangerous. If they got scared of you and Lilly, they might have caused a stampede. They're so much bigger than you and you just have to remember to be careful. Besides, you don't want to know what it's like to be clonked on the head with a hoof or anything like that."

"I'm sorry, Mom," Kate said quietly. But her head was already filling up of ideas and methods of finding a loophole in this untimely sentence. Hundreds of things were already flashing back and forth through the young wolf's mind. The possibilities were really endless! Kate would find a way out of this, whether her mother knew it… OR NOT!

"Oh Kate, when will you learn responsibility?" Eve said not realizing she had said it aloud.

Kate walked off acting like she was calm, when she was really quite angry with her mother. "When will you learn responsibility?" she mocked. "I'll show you responsibility! I made a commitment to this sleepover! It would be 'irresponsible' to say I was coming and then not show up! So technically, if I go, I'm being responsible! And that's what she wants, apparently! Hee hee! I am such a genius!" Kate cheered to herself right when she bumped into Lilly.

"Oh hey Kate. So how are you a genius?" Lilly questioned.

Kate stared blankly at her sister. "Ummm… I… I found you really quickly! Yeah…"

"Ohhhkay…" Lilly exclaimed.

"Well, let's get back to the den, girly."

"Right behind ya!"

Kate led Lilly back to the family den. Lilly walked in before her once they arrived and Kate mumbled to herself, "I have a sleepover to get to!"

Author's Note: Well, here it finally is! Kate's Story! I hope you guys enjoy the first chapter! And it seems that Kate wasn't always the responsible kind of overachiever we saw in Alpha and Omega! What happened there? Leave a review (please?) and stay tuned!

Please note: This story will be parallel to Garth's Story, meaning that everything that happens to Kate happens in the same world while Garth's Story takes place. So while Kate is figuring out how to get to the sleepover tonight, Garth is probably out playing with Alex or something, for an example. Also, this story will have a lot of romance in later chapters and apparently a bit of Kate getting into mischief! Enjoy it!

REVIEW PLEASE!
