Rare Jewels

My name is Jewel. I got my name because I am the rarest jewel of all. I was sent here by the moon goddess along with Ruby, Sapphire, Crystal, Diamond, and Jade.

We are destined to cleanse the werewolf world of war and bring about peace. After our mates are found there will be no more rogues and attacks on territories. Every one that survives will belong to a pack. We will finally be able to live freely amongst each other. Just the thought of something so sweet brought a smile to my face.

I couldn't wait to find my mate so that I could live my life and raise our children in a world without all the hardships and struggles that I had to face. You see there have been so many wars breaking out for senseless reasons. Alphas have become more territorial and all of them wanted to acquire as much territory as possible. My pack alone had fought in thirty wars in the past year. It was insane.

I tried to make my alpha see reason but it was no use. I hadn't come into my powers yet and I was treated like any other member. No one knew my true identity because my parents wanted me to protect me. The other girl’s parents were also in agreement that our identities should be kept a secret.

"Jewel get in here sweetie its almost dark," my mother called breaking me out of my thoughts. I often dreamed of what the world would turn into and often lost track of time. It was dangerous to be out at night because of rogues and threats from other packs.

"You were lost in thought in again weren't you?" Sapphire asked when I walked into the house. All of us were so close we were like sisters. We could practically read each other’s minds.

"Yeah I just can't help it. It seems so impossible," I said to her truthfully. Aside from my bloodline full of powerful weres there was nothing special about me. I just couldn't understand how all of this was supposed to happen. I knew I had to find my mate first but even then it would only seem like a beautiful dream.

"I know hun but try not to dwell on it okay," she said and I nodded knowing she was right.

Ever since we met with the council secretly a few months ago it had been all I could think about. We walked upstairs to find Diamond, Crystal, Ruby, and Jade. They were in the large entertainment room where we spent most of our time.

Because we were so close our parents decided that it would be best for us to live under one roof. So we have a large house with fifteen bedrooms and thirteen bathrooms. There’s a large living room, five entertainment rooms, a small lounge, and a huge movie theatre. We also have an inside pool and host the occasional party. We were all twenty and went to the local university. Our parents said they knew something was different about us when we were born at the same time. Our birthday was one of the biggest events of the year and we would be twenty-one soon. We could have been sextuplets other than the fact we looked nothing alike.

I was lightly tanned with long black curly hair down to my waist. My figure was curvy and my stomach was flat. Sapphire was blond and she was large chested and skinny with pale skin. She had the deepest blue eyes I had ever seen. Jade had beautiful dark skin with the most gorgeous deep green eyes I had ever seen. She was the curviest of us all and proud of it. Her stomach was flat but nothing else was. She had hair down to her waist and the pearliest white teeth. Diamond had dark skin as well, a few shades lighter than Jade but not as light as mine. Her eyes were a pale blue and she had her brunette hair cut in a cute bob. She had a heart shape face with dimples. Ruby was the palest of us all and also the skinniest. She had curves but nothing really stood out. She was petite and it suited her punk rock attitude. She had fiery red hair and her eyes would turn blood red when she was pissed. Otherwise they were a deep burgundy. Lastly there was Crystal. She had bright hazel eyes and pale skin. Her hair matched her eyes and she had a curvy figure although she wasn't as curvy as Jade or myself.

We were inseparable and took pride in the fact that we had so much in common yet were so different. We were unique and that's the way we liked it. Ordinary was boring. We spent the rest of the night watching movies and playing games. It was like a constant slumber party and at the moment we didn't have a care in the world. Sure we knew that we would have to face our destiny one day, but that would be extremely far away into the future. At least that's what we thought.

It was the weekend so there were no classes.

"Girls were going out for a while. You can make yourselves breakfast. We'll call you later if we can’t make it home for dinner," my mom said after shaking us awake.

Our parents often went on outings together, ever since we were old enough to fend for ourselves. They were mated couples and loved to spend time together which we thought was adorable. My mom was all dressed up in faded jeans and a floral top, wedges, and flawless makeup. She had always been gorgeous. The other girl’s moms had dressed up as well.

"Okay mom have a good time," I said to her and all the girls murmured their agreements.

"So what's the plan?" Ruby said after they left.

"We should go somewhere. It’s too nice to stay inside," Jade said.

"Mall?" Sapphire asked hopefully. She loved to shop and I was one to talk. I had more clothes than I could wear in a lifetime. We all agreed to have breakfast first and head to the mall.

When we got there we immediately went to Body Central which was coincidentally all our favorite store. After several hours and spending more money than necessary we decided to head to the food court for lunch. Everything was going great until I got this strange feeling we were being watched. I couldn't put my finger on it but something was off. I looked behind me but saw nothing out of the ordinary.

"You okay Jewels?" Diamond asked me concerned.

"Yeah fine. I just had this weird feeling. But it’s probably nothing," I said trying to shake it off. We continued to eat and when we were done decided to head to the movies. We all were dying to see Temptation and I could only hope it was half as good as the previews.

The movie lasted a couple hours and I had to admit I wasn't disappointed. Our parents were home when we got back which was a little strange since they normally stayed out late. They were all sitting in the living room with a grim look on their faces.

"What's wrong?" I asked to no one in particular. I was starting to worry and the awkward silence did nothing to help.

After what seemed like an eternity my mom finally spoke. "The pack is being threatened again. But this time is not like the others. The alpha is really worried. The enemy pack is strong and many could die if a war starts. He's meeting with their alpha tomorrow to try to negotiate, but it doesn't look good."
