not his first mate now novel Chapter 1

"crazy is calling, crazy is calling, crazy is calling." I heard my mobile going off, through my half sleep state I reach over and grab it off the bed side table.

with my eyes still closed I press a button and answer it.

"what" I grumble down the line, slowly I roll over onto my back and stretch out like a cat.

"Lilliana, you better be dressed and ready, I'm pulling up to your street now." I groan at my cousin Mulan, without answering her I disconnected our call and then climb out of bed. dragging my feet all the way to the small cupboard I had in the corner of my small room

I pulling out my grey jeans and a black tank top and then quickly changed. once I was done I run a brush through my black long curly hair and then pull it up into a ponytail. I grabbed my phone and then headed to the kitchen. Mulan's car horn blares off out side of my house. I grab my bag and keys off the bench and slip my boots on my feet as I rushed out the door. I jump into the silver beetle big car that my crazy cousin owns and lean my head on the window.

"why are you so tired today?" she demanded as she drives us to the workshop.

"I had a late call from Xaiden last night." I tell her while slowly facing towards the driver's side of the car.

Mulan's face soften at my words.

"how is he going?" I smile as I think of Xaiden and his pail blue eyes, black curly hair and his adorable little dimple smile. for a five year old boy he was pretty smart and I miss him so badly.

"he's good, mum's spoiling him rotten like always and dad has him out training with the other little pups. Dad says he needs more training now he's getting older." I didn't like the thought of my little boy training so much at the age of five. I stared at my cousin and watch as a small smile crosses her pink lips and her green eyes light up she loved little Xaiden and was always spoiling him in the workshop.

"your dad is the best person to help train, he's the best in his field." we both. laugh knowing it was true, my father is a warrior wolf for the king of our kind. my parents lived in the kingdom when I was younger but then a few years ago they moved away and help train the young ones.

"I know he is in the best hands and the male role model will be good for him over the next few weeks." we both go silent as we pull into the back of the workshop and then climb out of the car. I grab the lock and open the rolling doors where a Honda Civic is sitting on ramps waiting for me to finish putting the motor back together.

I sigh as I walk to the back room and grab my work shirt that consists of a clue checked long sleeve with the company logo on it.

"hey lil, don't forget you have that dodge ram coming in at 10:45am" Mulan calls out from the office as I make my way to the Honda. I don't bother answering her cause I know she will call me out again around 10am.

I get to work quickly putting the radiator back into place and then working on the plugs and leads.

By the time 10am had come around I was done and made my way to the office. My cousin was sitting there on her computer doing some kind of paper work.

I shake my head at her.

"so what you doing?" I ask her as I lean back against the wall and stare at her. Mulan looks over her shoulder at me and sighs.

"I got a call from the bank, they say we owe a month's worth of mortgage payments." again she looks over at the computer and starts typing away.
