Chapter 1 | Letting Go
↓
My name is Kate David, a werewolf, the daughter of the Alpha, a mistake made by fate.
My mother died birthing me, resulting in a deep resentment from my father, brother, and everyone else—except for grandma.
My grandma has been putting up with me from the moment of my birth until now.
I was forced to live the life of a pariah, not even given a chance to be in the presence of my own father, only having such luxury when I needed to be berated or whipped by him because to him I am a rebellious nuisance.
Then there is my brother, who always derived pleasure from causing me pain, making sure my years in school were bleak with the help of his sluts and playmates.
Just existing has never been an option for me. I've been forced to pass through torture, both physically and mentally, as my daily routine, but at the same time, this has made me strong, has helped me form a wall around myself.
So that's basically the summary of how I came to live in a small and comfortable house with my tough grandma. She's not actually related to me by blood, but we both share a profound devotion to each other. She has been my strength all these years, and I can't imagine life without her.
Today is supposed to be a great day. Today is the day I turn eighteen; when I'll start being able to detect my mate, my one and only true love, but I don't feel like starting this day or leaving the comfort zone that is my bedroom.
I don't get optimistic or butterflies swimming in my belly just at the thought of having a soulmate because I just can't bring myself to care or bother with such inane things.
The moon goddess has made my life difficult and different, putting serious dangers to worry about in my path, like the hardship of gaining the ability to shift at the young age of thirteen, rather than sixteen like a normal werewolf.
It was an experience I don't even want to remember, being mystified and in so much trauma. Distress a young child should never endure or go through.
Ma took it upon herself to keep reminding me I am unique, which makes me special, but if being special makes you hated and treated differently, I would rather be like everybody else, living a serene life with loving parents and siblings, making good memories, and having an adventure.
I had to keep it a secret, make everyone believe I couldn't shift yet, which led to being bullied and seen as weak and worthless.
"Kate, come down now or you'll be late for your class."
"Give me a few minutes, I am trying to write a journal here," I yell back, shutting the journal before standing up.
I love school, but I hate being around those fake werewolves who think they know you or who judge you based on nothing but rumors, repeating those lies so they spread like wildfire.
I don't have any interest in friends, not after what I went through. Friends are lying and backstabbing snakes. Once they get what they need from you, they leave you.
Stripping my clothes, I make my way towards my closest, searching for something suitable before deciding on a black dress and pairing it with a black jacket. For footwear, I pick my black boots.
Placing my outfit on the bed, I walk into the bathroom, getting under the shower, and letting the water cascade down my body, taking my stress away.
I walk out, wrapping a towel around my body, looking in the mirror, and studying my countenance, which appears gloomy.
I put my long brown hair into a bun before slipping into my undies. After getting ready, I walk downstairs to meet my grandma.
She is in her fifties but still looks to be in her twenties, one of the benefits of being a werewolf.
She is still the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, with brown hair, lovely green eyes, and a beautiful soul. She's the true definition of elegance.
Dressed in a black apron, black jeans, and a blue button-up shirt with her hair in a low ponytail, she moves gracefully around the kitchen, putting things in order. I just admire her as she moves, my role model in everything.
She turns when she feels my presence. "Finally, took you long enough to get ready. Here, have some breakfast before leaving for school or you'll surely be late for class," she urges me to take a seat before pushing a glass of water, scrambled eggs, and bacon toward me.
"Okay, Ma, thank you, you're the best," I say, taking a seat before sipping from the glass of water.
Finishing my food, I put the plate into the sink before kissing her on the cheek, then I grab my bag, leaving for another day of misery. "I am off to school," I announce, walking towards the door.
"Okay, but before I forget, we were asked to meet your dad at 5:00 tonight, so don't be late," she says walking towards me.
I am guessing this is another form of retribution, but I ask anyway. "Why?" I inquire looking at her with confusion.
"I don't know, maybe for your birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" She says, giving me a tight hug and a kiss on my forehead.
"Bye grandma," I say leaving the house.
Like I said before, I never get through a day without facing some sort of difficulty.
I should get ready to see my beloved Alpha.
Chapter 2 | Letting Go
↓
The cool breeze blew, propelling goosebumps on my skin. The streets were busy as ever with cars rushing in different directions, teens and young pups chatting with their friends, making their way to school or waiting for the school bus.
Like always, my bag hangs lazily on my shoulders. I'm getting strange and curious looks making me walk with my chin held up high sending waves of dominance to anyone who dares to glance my way longer than required.
"I have a feeling whatever the Alpha needs us for won't be good," says my wolf Tiara, very vigorous, supportive, and can be very stubborn at times, but I adore her all the same.
"I will be prepared for anything because only the moon goddess knows what goes on in his mind, "I say calmly.
"You are right, I just want to think about the revision today will bring for us," She says grinning widely.
"Whatever, as if I have the patience for such things, "I say stopping myself from rolling my eyes at her.
Finally reaching my destination I make my way into the school building, walking lazily towards my locker to get the required books for my first class.
My first class is history which I love because learning the cultures and beliefs of both humans and werewolves can be engaging.
I pull my locker closed before turning the hallway towards my first class.
"Hey bitch" a voice calls behind me stopping me in my tracks before I turn towards the irritating voice. A familiar aversion washes over me as I see my brother, Hunter's, slut behind me.
As usual, she is dressed to fit into the description of a slut, pink crop top not covering much flesh, her boobs for whoever cares to see pairing it up with blue ripped jeans.
Her nut-brown hair falling freely on her shoulders with the tip curled and sprayed red, I internally compliment her for her choice in picking a new hairstyle but I won't say it out loud.
Now moving to the malicious smirk on her lips as she moves closer towards me swirling her hips seductively gaining wolf whistles from horny wolves.
"We need to teach her a lesson through a beating or more," Tiara says with a playful smirk.
"We do no such thing or do you want to end up sleeping in the dungeon this night," I say busting into her unpleasant thought.
"Can you please speed up whatever you have to say because I have places to be and things to do?" I say with a fake smile.
"Nothing much, just prompting you to step out of my way because I don't want to end up smelling like your poverty stinking house," she says looking me over with her sea-blue eyes. I think I forgot to mention that she also has a problem with coming up with responses.
I sign bored rolling my eyes at her before speaking" why don't you ever listen to that tiny voice in your mind maybe then you will understand the difference between showing confidence and just being smart," I say referring to all times our conversation ends with her leaving hurt.
"Anyway happy birthday, I wish you more bad luck than you already have," she says before walking away to one of her conquests.
"slut" I mumble under my breath before walking towards my class.
~~~~~~
Lunchtime: the time I dread the most, but I can always use this time to bury myself in reading instead of being surrounded by arrogant and curious wolves waiting for my next move or better yet my downfall.
I walk into the library deciding it best to skip lunch with a good tale and some music.
Picking a few books from the novel section before walking to a secret corner, I plug in my earphone getting lost in my book.
Another boring day and finally I can go home to my safe-zone watching Netflix.
I stopped by my locker to drop my books before going to the bus stop.
Just two weeks more before I graduate and then leave this pack traveling across the world but that can only happen if the Alpha grants me the permission and ma agrees.
I didn't have to wait long before a bus stop, I got in finding a seat at the back close to two girls looking not less than seventeen.
I plug in my earphones shutting the world out, it took four minutes before the bus pull up by the house.
I got out walking towards the front door before pushing it open being welcomed by silence "Grandma I am home where are you?" I call out walking into the kitchen to get a glass of water.
" over here" she yells from her room.
Grabbing a glass filling it with water I gulp it all down to cool my dry throat before hearing footsteps coming down the steps "How was school? and were you able to find your mate?" she asks with a smile walking towards me.
"Are you sure you are not trying to get rid of me so you can live alone in this house because it sure sounds like it," I say playfully glaring at her as she takes a seat opposite me.
I wash the empty glass before placing it back "you know I want the best for you because you need someone to cherish you, that one of the reasons I want you to find your mate soon before you grow gray hairs like me" she says dramatically with a frown.
"I know MA but is just that I don't need a mate to be happy and I also know you really don't want my mate to be from this pack," I say making my way towards my room " your love is just enough for me... And you don't have gray hair "
~~~~~
After the little talk we had I spent my time in my room reading and watching Netflix before it was time to leave for the Alpha's place "sweetheart get ready we are having dinner at your Dad's house" she called from her room gaining a groan from me, I don't know why she still refers to him as my Dad.
"Remind me of my nightmare" I mumble under my breath walking into the bathroom to watch my face before changing into black jeans and V-neck top showing a little of my birthmark.
I have a birthmark shaped like two lycans just below my collar bone staring at each other with longing and love, ma's exact words, she believes it a sign I am blessed and made for something great.
Studying my reflection in the mirror I decide to go for a black T-shirt instead.
I walk into the living room turning on the TV as I wait for Ma to get ready, oh moon goddess please don't give me a bad surprise I am not ready for.
