I woke up this morning feeling anxious for some reason, shaking the feeling I got up and started to get ready for school. Looking in the mirror I scan my body looking at all my imperfections, the scars that are on my legs and arms from countless hours of training, and the small muffin top I have barely hanging over the side of my jeans. I wasn't built like most of our kind I was shorter which meant I was "Stocker" as my dad says than most of the other she-wolfs. Most were skinny and tall and had perfectly portion bodies, however stood at 4 feet and just barely 9 inches. I had thick thighs that rubbed together as I walked and would constantly rip my jeans my tummy was flat with just a small amount of a muffin top and my chest well I was more than blessed with those than most. I found myself lost in looking at my face, at the small scar that runs at the corner of my face, it ran from my right ear to almost the middle of my cheek. I was born with it but no one could ever tell us why I was born with it. I flicked my eyes from the scar to look at myself in my eyes. They were a shade of light blue, so light they almost looked white. I snap out of this trance when I hear my mother call my name from downstairs "Kaedence" she yells "You better be up!!! It's time for breakfast". I hurry and throw my shirt over my head and put my deep chocolate brown hair into a messy bun, trying to make sure a couple of strands cover my scar.
I run downstairs and see my Father, Brother, and my Mother all sitting at the table, it had felt like I walked in on an important conversation. I walked in taking my seat and looked up and asked " So what's the topic of conversation this morning?" I got that anxious feeling in my stomach again when my father looked at my mother and then sighed "You, well your birthday". With a puzzled look on my face, I looked at him trying to feel his emotions in his tone, and asked "Why?". He opened his mouth to speak when I caught a glimpse of the time, I jumped from the table and realized I was going to be late for school, I looked at my father and asked "Can we talk later, I'm going to be late for school dad?" He nodded in agreement as I darted out the door with a bagel in my hand and car keys in the other.I hopped in my car and made my way to school. Pulling in the parking lot I found a spot that wasn't around anyone else and ran inside as it had started to rain. I walked down the long hall to my locker looking at everyone that was leaning against the walls and their lockers talking to friends, and the ones that were leaning against their mates ravishing in their lust for each other. I made it to my locker and glanced at the empty one that was now next to mine. It had belonged to my best friend Sara, but she recently moved, Sara found her mate and he was a part of another pack so she left to be with him. I let out a sigh as I grabbed my books from my locker and made my way to class. Sitting in the back of the classroom next to the window, I watched as the rain fell against the window when all of a sudden these hands slammed on my desk, Jumping I look down to see these pale pink nails on my desk grabbing my books and tossing them to the ground. I looked to see Maddie snickering in my face, as she turned to walk back to her seat I ever so slightly lifted my foot to catch her's and she stumbled and fell barely catching herself before hitting her head on the tiles of the floor. She was quick to jump up as the others began to snicker. I looked up at her and said "Oops, you must have tripped on my foot" she gave a low growl and said, " You will pay for that you bitch! daughter of an alpha or not". Unbothered by her threat I shivered and pretended to be scared when I heard Mrs. Jones yell "Kaedence!" shifting my eyes from Maddie to the teacher I sighed once I realized she was pointing to the door, "To the office now!" she shouted. Grabbing my things I made my way out to the classroom and down the hall to the big double doors. I walked in and the pare-shaped woman looked up from the desk and sighed " Kaedence, welcome back. You almost made it a whole week before being sent back here" she shot me a grim smile and then point to the back. "He's in his office waiting for you" I smiled and walked to the back. I opened the heavy wooden door and found my father sitting in his chair with his hand on his head rubbing it as if his head hurt. He looked at me and just sighed as I flopped on the leather sofa he growled making me jump back to my feet, "How many times must you embarrass me he snarled?" I looked at his eye and immensely felt the hurt at what he said, He cleared his throat as he stood from his desk, "Sweetie" he says " You will be 18 in just 2 short days" as he makes his way to me, he stands hovering over me looking down at me, I dare not look him in his eyes "When will this foolishness stop?" He asks. I muttered, "When will Maddie leave me alone?" The bell rang for us to go to our next class, a wave of relief washed over me as my father sighed and dismissed me but told me to head home and promised me that we would talk later. With a confused look on my face I started to say something when he darted this intense look at me. I walked away with out arguing.I left school and headed straight home. Pulling in the driveway I notice my mother unloading shopping bags from the car. I hop out and grab as many bags as I can and take them inside. Looking at all the food she has just gotten I ask " What is all this for?" she looks at me and mutters " We are having guests over tonight for dinner" there was something off about that way she looked at me. I brushed it off and asked if she needed help putting things away, she shook her head no and motioned for me to leave her be. Walking away Tia pops up and says " Well that was strange did you see her look?". Tia is my wolf, we've never shifted before, she tells me we are not ready but in time it will happen. "There was nothing wrong with her I tell Tia, She is just trying to put the food away stop thinking too much into it I tell her." "If you say so," Tia says as she fades back into my mind. I bumped into my brother in the hall, "Watch it small fry" he growled. "What's with you Dilli
"Kaedence, did you hear me?" Looking at my father I felt a wave of heat come across my face when I lashed back "Excuse me!? I have trained my whole life to become alpha of this pack, I've worked 100 times harder than anyone else to get here, and for what just to hand to over to the golden child because of some stupid fucking tradition?" cursing made my father leave his seat, "now young lady you will not speak to me in that tone or use that language in my house do you understand?" I snapped back "Oh I forgot I am not the chosen one in this family I don't get to say or do whatever I want" I felt my mother's grip on my hand get tighter. I shot this evil look towards my brother, "you knew, you knew about this and didn't tell me?" He went to go speak but I shut him out "no you don't get to talk to me. I've always had your back, picked up your slack, and have made you into the warrior you are today! with out me you would be nothing!" I hissed. My father slammed his hand down on the table
"Kaedence, can I come in?" Dillion asked through my door, "Go away" I shout. I hear my door push open. "Come on now small fry don't be like this," he says. I scoff at his statement. "Look I know you're mad at me but father made me swear not to tell you. I only found out a week ago myself" Giving him I grim look I could see the sincerity in his eyes. "You really didn't know?" I asked, "No! I swear on the moon Goddess, Father just told me last week" he sighs. "I understand if you hate me but just know you're the best big little sister anyone could ask for," he says with a smile while grabbing my hand. Just then a tap came to my door we both looked up and it was my father. "Dillion could you excuse us for a moment" Dillion quickly stood up and left my room. "Yes alpha?" I asked, this made him bare his teeth. "Do not call me that! you are my daughter and you shall address me as father" he snarled. "Yes, father," I said half rolling my eyes. "What you did tonight was unacceptable young l
Tia flutter around in my head making me more nervous, "Talk to him" she says "say something, I cannot take this silence" I cleared my throat which seemed to catch Devllins attention. "How long is the drive?" Devllin shifts in his seat as if he was uncomfortable. "It is about an hour's drive to the airport," He said in a hushed tone as if he was trying to be gentle while talking to me. "Airport?" I questioned. He shook his head, "our pack is from Quillayute, that is in Washington" He said still talking in a hushed tone. My eyes widened realizing that I am moving across the states, I wouldn't be just a couple of hours away from the place I called home my whole life. I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding as the weight of his words sank over my body.The rest of the car ride was silent beside an occasional sniffle coming from my nose. Pulling up to a gate at the airport the guard let us through without question. Shifting in my seat as I look around we pull up to jet s
I felt like I had slept for hours when I felt a tap on my arm. Stirring around I looked up and saw Devllin looking at me, he looked at me with this ever so soft look on his face which was quickly wiped away once he realized I noticed. He cleared his throat " We are getting ready to land and they need you to put your seat belt on" I shook my head and sat back in the leather seat beside him. He began to tell me that his pack doesn't know much of me being here so we were to go straight to the pack house and not to make any stops until he felt comfortable with me leaving the house. Rolling my eyes "great I really am going to be held as a prisoner" I scoffed. "Kaedence, please try and understand it is nothing like that" he sighed. I pause for a moment and take in that he just said my name for the first time, it sent a small flutter of what felt like butterflies over me. I quickly brush off the feeling," sure, whatever" I huffed. He let out a sigh as if had been defeated or maybe he just
I must have stood there for what felt like hours. This was going to be my new home, my new pack. I didn't like the idea much it made me feel more homesick than I already was. I thought of my mother I found myself wondering what she was doing at this moment, was she out in her garden tending to the flowers and vegetables? had I even crossed her mind? I thought of my father, was he even thinking of me? I pictured him sitting in his office in his brown leather chair as I felt a tear fall down my cheek. Hell, I even missed Maddie messing with me. It was then I felt myself cry harder when Dillion crossed my mind. I and Dillion hadn't always gotten along but he was my only true friend, besides Sara. I tried to mind-link with him but he ignored it. Feeling broken I went inside and started to unpack my stuff.Going into the closet I noticed there were already some very exquisite outfits hanging up as well as shoes on the shoe rack. I started putting my clothes on hangers and in
I woke up in the middle of the night to the wind howling and thunder clapping and lightning flashing making the whole room illuminate, realizing the power is out I get up to find a flashlight. Not being able to find one I did find a candle and lighter in my room. I placed the lit candle on my side table and walked to my balcony doors watching this storm wreak havoc on the trees outside seeing the ocean waves smash into the side of the mountain sending sprays of water everywhere when I caught a glimpse of a dark figure standing near the edge of the cliff. I swung open my doors and walked to the edge of my balcony instantly becoming soaked from the rain, trying to get a closer look to see who it was. I called out to them but they never moved, I stood on the railing of my balcony and started to wave my arms and yelling trying to get their attention when I lost my balance and went over the railing. I was dangling 3 stories above the ground holding on as tight as I could to the ledge kno
As I opened the door a gust of freezing air hit me in the face sending chills all down my body, there was a spiral staircase that was dark and damp, I wanted to go down but Tia popped up "Don't do it, I have a bad feeling about this" she said. I shrugged her off and started walking down the stairs taking each step at a time to make sure I don't slip. I make it to the bottom and see cells. "This must be their dungeon" I whisper. I see a bulletin board hanging in one of the cells, it has pictures of my whole family up there including my own. I step forward to get a better look when I hear a door open from the other side of the dungeon, I quickly turn to run up the stairs I can hear their muffled voices as they get closer, I am taking two steps at a time when I slip and hit my head on one of the steps. I let out a grown "What was that?" I hear one of them say. I can hear them start walking up the steps, I pull myself up and barely made it to the door to close it, I run out of the study
