*~~Chapter One~~*

{~~Avery Sterling~~}

Love, that emotion is such a hoax. Actually, it’s not. It’s beautiful with the right person, ugly with the wrong person. But I can’t have the beauty or the ugliness when my love is unrequited. When I first met him, the Medic alpha in training, I was enamored. Mostly due to the fact that our pack has never had a medic alpha before. They’re usually assigned to the bigger, and more popular packs, ours was none of that.

I was delighted. At the age of eleven, I was getting into the phase of having crushes, and the thirteen-year-old medic alpha was right in my sight. He was smart, charming, too good to be training to work in a pack like ours.

No offense. I know my father worked hard but we had to be honest.

I hoped he’d notice me, and we’d become friends. Move from friends to lovers. Yes, I had it all planned out in my head. I knew when we’d get married and have children, and blah blah blah.

I was learning what it meant to love, and he was befriending my sister. Never sparing me a glance.

Here’s the deal, I- Avery Sterling, rank 404 blue nurse omega in the making- was never number one at anything. Not with Ava around. Ava was my twin. My parents' golden eye, the pack’s most beloved, and everyone’s favorite person.

Where I grew up nerdy, shy, and unable to talk to the guy I was crushing on. Ava grew up bold, protected from all harshness by everyone’s love. She was gorgeous, she was given better genes.
