All At Once

Summary

"I never though I would you, it was destined and thats what I don't like, I wanted it to be unscripted. I wanted to fall in love on my own, not have some bond tie me down but as I got to know you I fell in love with you slowly but then all at once" -Katniss Everdeen

"Oh here's one, If you could describe yourself in one word what would it be?

"Werewolf"I tell Clove, my best friend since diapers.

"C'mon Katniss, don't be such a butt face" She whines.

"How can I not? My birthday is tomorrow, do you know what that means?" I ask her with my eyebrows raised.

"You get old" She shrugs.

"Yes and no you dimwit, tomorrow I find my mate, and I've told you this a thousand times, I will not love someone because of some s-"

"You will not love someone because of some stupid bond, I know, how could I not? You've reminded billions of times" She says rolling her eyes.

"Well maybe it wouldn't be if you hadn't asked" I say sticking my tongue out at her. She cracks a smile and rolls her green eyes.

"Why though? I don't get it" She asks readjusting herself on my blue bed.

"Because if I love someone I want it to be natural, not because the so called moon goddess paired us up together, besides he could be an axe murderer" I explain to her.

"Well I think its good, I mean you get paired up with your perfect match, he's everything you need and well thats all I want, I can't wait till my birthday" She says getting lost in her fantasies. I snap my fingers in front of her face and she snaps out of it.

"Sorry, besides you can't avoid the bond, especially since your the daughter of the Alpha, I heard its stronger for you guys." She says.

"There's this thing called rejecting your mate, you should try it sometime" I say. Pain flashes through her eyes. I roll my hazel eyes. Probably her wolf.

"See? That is exactly why I son't want to have a mate, your already hurt with the 'thought of rejecting such a perfect person' he's a total stranger Clove, what if he's abusive?" I try to explain to her.

"Well I would change him" She says in a duh tone.

"What if he's human?" I ask her. She pales. The chances of having human mates or 1 out of a billion. Its nearly impossible. There is a one or two cases the Jury has to deal with though. The jury is made up if several wolves and their mates that the moon goddess has trust in and they deal with every major problem we've ever had in wolf existence. They deal with those who have human mates.

"We should go to bed now, its already10:00and I have to go help out with your party, goodnight Kat" She yawns.

"Goodnight Clove" I tell her as I get comfortable. I'm about to close my eyes when I see a shadow outside my balcony window. I quickly get up and quietly step towards the window and open it. I step outside and survey the area, highly alert. I see the usual wolves on patrol and see James, the head of our army and trusted friend of mine. He's well known and respected in our Pack, The Silver Moon Pack. He found his mate not long ago and his father handed down the title to him.

"Did you see anybody on the balcony?" I ask him from above.

"No, I'll report if I see or smell anything weird" He says. I nod.

"Get some sleep Katniss, its a big day tomorrow" He says in a gentle tone.

"Don't remind me" I grumble as I head back towards my room. I fall back onto my bed and let sleep consume me. Tomorrow is definitely gonna suck serious ass.
