Chapter: 3

Mileena POV:

     It was a year now everything is still the same. I try so hard to make friends with others in the pack. It doesn’t matter what I say, or do, they will never accept me because of my so-called curse they say. After a while, I concluded I would become a lone Lycan. I wake up each day doing my routine, I take a shower, brush my teeth, place my hair in a messy bun. Then I got dress and headed on downstairs. Before I enter the kitchen, I took a deep breath.

     When I walk into the kitchen, I saw my mom and dad was sitting at the table having breakfast talking to one another. As soon as they notice my presence, they looked at me with smiles. “Good morning princess,” my father said, placing the paper on the table.

“Good morning to the both of you,” I reply with a smile.

“Baby, I hope you are hungry. I made your favorite breakfast potatoes and onion omelet,” my mother said.

“Good, I cannot wait to dig in.,”

   I walked over to the counter to retrieve a plate; place my food on it. My parents invited me to join them at the table. We started eating. As soon as I was done, I told my plate and place it in the sink. From there, I kiss both my parent’s goodbye and headed for school.

    I was at my locker grabbing my math book when I felt a tug at my hair that have me to drop off my stuff on the ground. With each pull, I could feel a piece coming out of my scalp. I turn to see that it was Marissa, the pack slut, was the one who had my hair. I was trying to break free. She had a grip. Each time she pulls I can my head throbbing from the pain. Marissa drag me in the hallway as everything watching and laughing at me. I feel tears coming from my eyes. I was still attempted to break free.

    Marissa drags me outside in front of the school. From their people started coming out and circle us. “Marissa, please let me go,” I pleaded.

“Why should I? you are a freak, you don’t belong here, you are an abomination”

The crowd cheer, then a guy came forward. "Yeah bitch, you are a freak, you need to leave the pack, you are a curse” he spat at me. The crowd was cheering. More rude comments kept coming at me. All I could do was cry Marissa let go of my hair. I sat down on the ground, prop my knees up and cover my face. I feel hurt how people see me, that sometimes I ask the moon goddess why do I have to be cursed? That sometimes I wish I could just leave this world and be at peace. Then again, I think about my parents, what I would put them through if I were to leave this world? I remember my mother telling me how for long, they try to conceive a child. When I came along, they praise the moon goddess because I was their miracle child. I was glad to hear the story in their eyes. I was a gift, while others consider me a curse wolf.

“Mileena, you need to get up, take a stand for yourself,” Xyla said.

“I can’t Xyla, if I do, they will hate me even more. "

“There is no point in letting them bully you. I rather for us to be a lone wolf than to be bully by a bunch of low life mutts. "

“I can’t I’m sorry,”

“Forget it, I’m taking over now” before I could protest, Xyla took over and shifted into our white Lycan. Xyla let out a growl, begin running as people move out of our way. We ran into the forest.

   I ran for hours into the forest. It felt so good to take the edge off. I feel that if we stay at the school any longer, Xyla anger would have really taken over, to where it made had been a bloodbath. That was something that I don’t want for either me or Xyla. I keep telling myself that things are going to get better. Now I’m giving up on hope I know the kingdom will never accept me, all because I was born different. “Tell me, Xyla, are you feeling better?”

“I feel great. Sorry for taking over. I’m just tired of seeing people bullying you for no reason. "

“It’s ok, and you are right it is time to stand up for myself, can’t keep living like this either they are going to accept me or not. If I have you in my life, Xyla I will never be along”

 “Of course, child, remember we are one. It’s getting late. We need to head back home before mom and dad become worried”

“I agree, let’s go,”

     We made it in front of our house in no time, I walk to a tree in our backyard I found some clothes that I kept there, I immediately shifted back into my human form, putting my clothes on, and I open to the back door. I open it up and enter. As soon as I close the door, I heard footsteps that when my parents appear, they have a look of worry on their faces.

“Oh my goddess Mileena, we were worry sick, where were you?” my mother ask coming over to hug me.

“I’m sorry I went out for a run, and lost track of time”

“All that matters that you are ok, when we notice you have not come home yet, and mother and I worried” my father said.

“Again, I’m sorry for putting you two through that. "

“It’s ok, just let us know next time, so we want worry,” my mom said.

“Deal”

“How was school today, baby girl?” my father asked.

“It was ok, it’s getting late, I’m heading to bed, goodnight” I said leaving out without waiting for their response.
